Israel is presumed guilty even after it proves itself innocent. It is fair to conclude that the Palestinians sent this very message when the American government announced that a Palestinian-American journalist was probably shot to death unintentionally by a bullet fired from Israeli military lines. Washington also stated that the …

Two Boulder men named Bruce are working on a documentary of interviews filmed by and of Palestinian young adults talking about their hopes and dreams for the future.

If only Israel would end its “belligerent occupation.” Most of us know better, but don’t tell that to the United Nations Human Rights Council. Its Commission of Inquiry last week released the first of what they hope will be decades of annual reports on Israel’s oppression of the poor Palestinians.

Amid the varied dissections of Shireen Abu Akleh’s death, the Palestinian Authority was consistent. To paraphrase Israeli diplomat Abba Eban, they did not miss an opportunity to miss the opportunity to sound credible.

Bruce Ticker rightly questions the meaning of "Palestine" as presented by three individuals whose backgrounds do not lend themselves to Middle East expertise.

In his address to the U.N. last Friday, Abbas demanded that Israel turn over its territories to the Palestinians within a year or he would reconsider recognition of Israel, according to the Associated Press.

As the saying goes, so many distortions, so little time. Bruce Ticker debunks a few popular ones.

The Palestine Return Coalition wants the right for Palestinians to live anywhere they want including within Israel, yet the Palestinian Authority has stated that Palestinian refugees will not be awarded citizenship in the state of Palestine nor will they be allowed to settle within the Palestinian governed areas.

Amani Barakat must be joking when she twice touts the “peaceful” tactics of an anti-Israel drive among West Coast teachers’ unions. Simultaneously, Barakat continues in a leading role in an organization that seeks the right of return for Palestinians to Israel, a mission that could readily lead to war.

Advocates for the Palestinians exerted their terrorism talents in or near two prominent American cities 3,000 miles apart in recent weeks.

When a parent buries a child, little else matters. So how does the Black Lives Matter movement find the time and energy to brand Israel as an apartheid and genocidal state and equate its policies with police brutality?

Ed Kass's 'A Conversation we do not have, but need to' (Column: Saving Israel from Herself, May 27, 2021) betrayed a shockingly low understanding of the constant existential threats Israel faces.

If you want to produce a column urging Jews in Israel to be more humane to the Arabs, it would help if you get someone who respects the facts.

There are a few grains of truth in Ed Kass' commentary "A conversation we do not have but need to" which belie his entire misguided argument.

Ed Kass is entitled to his opinion, but as the late New York United States Senator, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, said -- he is not entitled to his facts.

If only the Palestinians could govern themselves in an independent state…

When a family member continues to repeat the same behaviors causing irreparable harm to self and others, we need to speak up…we need to intervene. Israel is that family member.

We are devastated by the recent violence and loss of life in the Middle East, including between neighbors. We are also heartbroken by the subsequent rise in hate and anti-Semitism in the United States and around the world.

As an Israeli, Yosef should know that Israeli soldiers from Haifa or Tel Aviv are already “home” until the army deploys them to its territories, where most of the fighting usually takes place. American Jews are usually “home” in Philadelphia, Chicago or Los Angeles, and especially small towns, where they are often vulnerable to distorted verbal attacks on Israel.

Palestinian society paints itself into a corner for more than seven decades, and then their friends liken Israel to an apartheid state.

Didn’t you know? “They can’t be burning down Palestinian villages.” Rep. Ro Khanna did not know it either, but he uttered those words anyway in an interview last Friday with MSNBC.
