As always, the Biden regime gives aid and comfort to America’s enemies and works against its friends. “Biden Backdoors Israel in the U.N., Rescinding Trump’s Recognition of Sovereignty over the Golan,” by Tony Badran, The Tablet, September 6, 2023: …Nowhere is the split between formal U.S. policy and the stealth agendas being implemented by U.S. […]
Russia and Israel: Annexation and International Law
Russia just annexed four provinces previously considered part of Ukraine. Annexing the land of another country acquired by war is illegal according to international law… or so they say. But if the residents of such land decide by referendum to secede and declare independence, before being annexed by another country, such as what transpired with […]
Druze on the Golan Increasingly Opt for Israeli Citizenship
The Druze living on the Golan Heights, an area captured by Israel in 1967 and annexed in 1981, are increasingly choosing to become Israeli citizens. About 5,000 of the 25,000 Druze on the Golan have now chosen to become Israelis. A report on this welcome development is here: “As ties to Syria fade, Golan Druze increasingly […]
Bennett: The Golan’s Not For Turning
Prime Minister Bennett has announced, for those who in Washington needed reminding, that Israel will never relinquish the Golan Heights, which it annexed in 1981.

Syrian lawmaker who was aiding Iranian military against Israel shot dead, Al Jazeera says by Israeli sniper fire
Iran has been emboldened by Western globalists, and especially by the weak Biden administration, which has been groveling to the Iranian mullahs, trying to get them to rejoin negotiations on a nuclear deal, a deal which in the past has lavishly funded Iranian ambitions. The pro-Palestinian Biden administration, not to mention the persistent undermining of […]
Biden’s handlers walk back Trump’s recognition of Golan Heights as Israeli territory
We’re back in full-on Obama mode now, betraying allies and giving aid and comfort to enemies. It will not, of course, end well. “Biden Admin Walks Back U.S. Recognition of Golan Heights as Israeli Territory,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, June 24, 2021: The Biden administration is walking back the United States’ historic recognition […]
A Short Course for the Biden Administration on Israel’s Claim Under International Law to the ‘Occupied Territories’
The Biden Administration seems to think that the way to bring peace between Israelis and Palestinians is to push Israel back within what it describes as the “1967 lines,” which is a more acceptable way of saying “the 1949 armistice lines.” Those lines were not recognized borders; they merely reflected where the respective armies, […]
Israel strikes Iranian targets in Syria in response to attack on Israeli-owned ship
Reports reveal that Israel bombed Iranian targets near Damascus on Sunday. It was retaliation for an Iranian attack on an Israeli-owned ship in the Gulf of Oman. Iran becomes bolder daily due to the weak American administration. The rest of the West shrugs as Iran’s adventurism increases. Iran refuses to even come to the table […]
Tony Blinken, the Golan Heights, and Facts on the Ground
Tony Blinken, Biden’s Secretary of State, was asked recently what was the Administration’s position on the Golan Heights. A report on his answer, and what Israel must do to ensure that its claim on the Golan is never relinquished, is here: “Increasing Jewish Presence in the Golan Heights Is a Must,” by Nadav Shragai, JNS.org, […]
Pete Buttigieg on the Golan Heights and “the Occupation [that] Must End” (Part 2)
This July, Pete Buttigieg, who for reasons I fail to grasp, has been described as one of the most pro-Israel candidates in the Democratic field, signaled that on Israel, he had moved farther to the left. He tweeted: “The occupation has to end.” Anti-Israel groups were ecstatic. What we have here is a failure by […]
