War Between Russia/Ukraine and the Diplomatic Challenge for Israel

First of all, our hearts go out to all the innocent civilians whose lives have been affected by this recent Russia invasion of Ukraine. Unfortunately, the media is not reporting to us the true story of what is going on. Just like we can't trust the media coverage on Israel, we can't trust the media coverage on what is going on between Russia and Ukraine. There are no good guys in this story, and it is way beyond the leadership of Russia or Ukraine.

The Historic Russia/Ukraine Crisis & the Jews

Taking a step back from the macro dangers of the situation, as a Jew, wars between countries are never good for us. Speaking with Professor of History Larry Domnitch , author of a book I recently read called "The Impact of World War One on the Jewish People". It is a fascinating book that should be read by all, which brings factual historical accounts of Jews who fought and lived through the war, on both sides. The most horrifying aspect of it all, that regardless which side a Jew fought for, he...

Russia Threatens Israel as it Attacks Ukraine

Russia has attacked Ukraine. What exactly is this all about? We don't totally know. But for whatever reason, Russia felt like it was an opportune time to threaten Israel diplomatically.

Reporting from Site of Latest Jewish Home in Jerusalem Firebombed By Neighboring Arab Muslims

More Violence against Jews in Jerusalem totally ignored and misreported by international media. The anti-Israel community & international media like to ignore the constant Arab Muslim violence against Jews and instead focus on how Israel is “Judaizing Jerusalem”, that’s what they call the removal of illegal Arab squatters in Jewish-owned homes. Meet Tal, whose house in the Shimon Hatzadik neighborhood in Jerusalem was firebombed on Shabbat and miraculously nobody was injured because the...

Huge Corruption Scandal Exposed in Police/Legal System. Who will Investigate the Investigators?

Corruption exists everywhere. Wherever there are imperfect human beings with personal interests, corruption will exist. The question is, who is exposed, who will investigate, will the actual big-wigs responsible pay the price, and will the system change afterward. A huge police, and possibly, state attorney's office corruption scandal was just exposed in Israel. Where will things go from here? Who will investigate the investigators??? And how will this affect former PM Netanyahu's trial? That an...

Israel Dodged a Huge Societal Bullet with the Current Right Left Government

Israel today has a very unusual government coalition with some right-wing parties sitting together with mostly every single left-wing party and the Islamist party. While I have plenty of criticism towards this government, there is one huge societal issue that it actually helped prevent. And the most interesting thing is that they never even planned to prevent it. It just happened. Yet, this is one of the most important societal shifts for Israel to ever have taken place.

FBI & Progressives Ignore Root Cause of Growing Islamist Terror Against US Jews

A Jewish synagogue in Texas attacked by a Muslim terrorist. The FBI says it is not connected to Jews.  Thankfully all the Jewish hostages lived and the Islamist terrorist was killed. The solution to growing Jew-hatred is not in the authorities, not in Holocaust education and not by our own leaders focusing on Muslim outreach, while ignoring the evil Islamism and instead by appeasing it. The solution is to strengthen our connection to our thousand year old culture, tradition and homeland. St...
