At the Knesset, former hostages who had been released in the November exchange of imprisoned terrorists for Israeli civilians held captive told what it was like for them in Gaza.

Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs declares London the most antisemitic city in the West
Any guesses why? Jihad Watch has been warning for decades about the same ills which MK Amichai Chikli blames for London’s soaring antisemitism problem: reckless immigration, the red-green axis and the jihad doctrine (“Islamic extremism”). Some sound advice from Chikli: “Immigration must be monitored more closely to prevent extremists from entering the UK.” But everyone […]
The unsung heroes of the Israel Supreme Court controversy
The Supreme Court setting itself up as the sovereign authority in the land impels the government towards “pragmatic” laws that will not fall foul of the Supreme Court, to err on the side of caution. This makes the Israel Supreme Court a politburo, the very negation of democracy. First things first. Congratulations to all who have […]
Media Ignores 600,000 Israelis Rallying for Judicial Reform
But tens of thousands of lefties protesting against judicial reform is big news. Every time there’s a leftist rally against democratic judicial reform, the media amplifies it as loudly as possible. But when there’s a conservative rally in support of it, there’s media silence. The “March of the Million” near the Knesset in Jerusalem on Thursday evening may […]

As Germany and France Fly In ISIS Brides, Israel to Fast-Track Bill Revoking Citizenship From Convicted Terrorists
Religious Zionism Party lawmaker Simcha Rothman: “The bare minimum we can do as a moral country is to revoke their citizenship and residency.” While European countries such as Germany and France are flying in Islamic State (ISIS) brides and their offspring from the Middle East, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s newly-elected government in Israel is moving ahead […]
Israel: Knesset members call Zelensky’s invocation of Holocaust ‘outrageous,’ ‘bordering on Holocaust denial’
In an eyebrow-raising speech over Zoom that was intended to gain Israel’s active military support for Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky struck “the wrong note to bring Knesset to his side.” Lahav Harkov reports in the Jerusalem Post: Zelensky continued his practice of customizing his speeches to suit his audience when he addressed the Knesset […]
Israel: Muslim Arab MK refuses to sing Israeli national anthem
There is a justifiable uproar in the Knesset over this. Zoabi’s loyalties are questionable, as are those of many other Arab Members of the Knesset. Ghaida Rinawie Zoabi defended her position by saying that “she does not know the anthem by heart.” She did not think it important enough in her role to learn it. […]

Palestinians claim Israelis ‘very hostile to Palestinians,’ say election results won’t change anything
History shows that the Palestinian “resistance” was really resistance to the very existence of the state of Israel from the day of its birth in 1948. Prior to that, the brutal resistance against Jews in the region was clear — from the Arab Revolt to the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem’s pact with Hitler to obliterate […]
