Remembering Shemot and Bo, and defending the Land. Do Americans now choose bondage, as the Israelites once did during the Exodus? For that matter, do Israel's elites suffer from a Pharaonic syndrome as blinding as that which the Pharaoh of the Exodus suffered? Or will both peoples return to God and explicitly invoke His Name?

Invoking the Name of God

One of the most important ingredients of statesmanship is to foster national unity. A prerequisite of national unity is the citizen’s belief that he and his...

James Risen writes for The NEw York Times. Bari Weiss resigned from it. Risen told the Times what he thinks, and it is not pretty. More recently, Sarah Palin sued this paper for libel.

Benjamin Netanyahu won the 2015 Israeli elections. He is now the longest-serving Prime Minister of Israel. Since then he finds himself in a dilemma he can only solve after some soul searching.

Netanyahu’s dilemma

PM Netanyahu as well as Israel is confronted by a dilemma: Israel’s Arab-Muslim population is about 20%, or one million. Furthermore, Israel cannot forcibly expel this...

Flawed policies come from a flawed election system of proportional representation and endless coalition government. Israel turns out to be a democratically elected despotism. In fact its policies cast doubt on whether Israel is a Jewish State or not. A Prime Minister who changes this system can become truly great. But it means ditching Israel's democratic reputation. The Likud Party make it worse when, dependent on Arab votes, they let insurrection slide.

Israel: most dangerous enemies

Much has been written in Israel about “self-hating” Jews, a trait attributed primarily to assimilated Jews. This is quite misleading. Max Nordau, the great Zionist, was...

Israel, Judea and Samaria (occupied territories?), and Gaza. All these are the real Jewish and Israeli birthright, from the beginning. A God-given birthright, as Trump should recognize.. Which now-in-force international law and treaties recognize, going back to the San Remo Resolution. Even UN Resolution 242 couldn't change that. Disengagement from any of them spells disaster. A two-state solution violates this birthright. (As a candidate for ambassador clearly understands.) Why won't the Likud Party protect this birthright? Why do some accuse champions of Judea-Samaria of having crypto-Nazi tendencies? What can dispel the confusion on this point? And will The New York Times correct their own record in this regard? Or does a generation of the unteachable prevent a properly sober discussion? And now a new battle cry sounds: no taxation without annexation. Where is the proper statecraft Israel needs? Note: Israel is also a safer place for Christians than any other country in the Middle East.

Israel, ironies, and nullities

Israel, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, is trapped in various ironies. He wants the Palestinians, a non-people, to recognize Israel as the State of the Jewish people!

Worm in the apple. Symbol of bad education, moral relativism, and other wrong lessons. And of Muslims indoctrinating children in American schools. Juvenile delinquency is often the result of such things. Now it is a fitting symbol for CNN and its partnership for child indoctrination.

Juvenile delinquency v. victory of Trump

Donald Trump (now President) addresses his fans. Note to Michael Horton: Donald Trump never called himself Messiah. The one who did, trashed Christian values, and you said nothing. But now comes the counter-coup against Obama. But one thing more: is Trump the antichrist, or will he protect us from him? More recently: herewith a call to action to support a President who stands against oppression.

The Knesset: 61 years of parliamentary democracy, and counting, in Israel. But do its members properly love their country? Or does the dysfunctional way Members are chosen, with their election rules that do not conform to Jewish law, lead to a pointless scramble for patronage? A new Manifesto calls for radically reforming the way Israel picks Members of this body. Furthermore, terms like right and left, as in other parliaments, mean little when no one will articulate first principles.
