Indeed, there is a lot of violence in Judea and Samaria, areas of historical and religious importance to Jews, called "The West Bank" by people who claim that the Zionist enterprise is "colonialist."

I find it extremely offensive to label Jews as extremist settlers!

I agree that anyone in public office must accept criticism of his country's actions. However, Israel is in the unusual situation of being criticized for what it is (the Nation-State of the Jews), rather than for what it does.

I believe that Melat Kiros and Darialize Avila Chevalier are sincere in their concern for the plight of the stateless and poor Palestinians. However, I feel obliged to point out that Israel is not responsible for the Palestinians' plight.

If only Palestinians were working toward living the American dream--building better lives for their children, having a country of their own where they could speak freely and participate in free and fair elections, and co-existing, peacefully, with their neighbors-- what a wonderful world it would be.

Bruce Ticker is correct about Sen. Hollen. The true 'Palestinian cause' isn't a quest for a Palestinian state; it's an attempt to destroy the world's only Jewish state.

The level of Jew hatred in England has reached Hitlerian proportions now that much of the British medical establishment publicly refuses to treat Jewish patients from Israel under any circumstances.

More rebuttals against New York City Mayor Mamdani's recent Nakba Day statements.

Toby Block tries to make sense of Bruce Ticker's recent column on a West Coast trial.

The letter discusses Bruce Ticker’s views on Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts, critiques Arafat's rejection of peace offers, and defends Israel's military actions.

“At no time were they yelling that they wanted to kill people,” says Carlos Nieves, an assistant commissioner in the NYPD in October 2023. From Australian writer Randa Abdel-Fattah: “Armed struggle is a moral and legal right of the colonized and the brutalized.” So goes the unchecked influence of distorted language that routinely accompanies anti-Israel protests.

The response addresses Ms. Ito's criticisms regarding Israel's history, the legitimacy of Palestinian claims, and the occupation narrative, emphasizing the need for mutual understanding and acknowledgment to achieve peace.

Last Sunday, I had a short conversation with a resident from the south Hebron Hills. I asked this resident about the attack in March on the Palestinian village adjacent to the resident’s village.

What have we got to lose? Here's an example.

This past Monday, the JCC sponsored “The Israeli Palestinian Conversation”, an extra-ordinary, emotionally moving and thought-provoking play. I commend Ami Dayan and his cast for their courage in tackling this issue and providing an artfully weaved fabric of history and emotional context about the Israel-Palestine conflict.

On July 31, Israeli destroyed the propagation units of the Palestinian National Seed Bank in the West Bank city of Hebron. Israel used for its legal justification that the structure was constructed without a building permit. 

The play "The Conversation Part 1: The Israeli-Palestinian Conversation" addresses complex topics through community engagement, fostering dialogue to bridge divides and seek solutions.

When is a coloring book not just a coloring book? When its purpose is to incite children to hate Jews and glorify violence.

JEWISHcolorado and the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) welcome the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. This moment brings renewed hope for the safe and swift return of all hostages and marks a first step to alleviating suffering in the region.

Mohammed, a Palestinian, expresses relief at Hamas leader Sinwar's death. But many Palestinians hold deep hostility toward Israel, complicating peace prospects despite ongoing conflict.

In Philadelphia, a provocative billboard by an Arab/Muslim group about Palestine and Gaza sparks controversy in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, inciting strong local reactions.

“Our Palestinian neighbors” will almost certainly blow up any deal with Israel without anyone else’s help. Palestinian society long ago sent the message that an independent state is far from enough. They want all of Israel.
