The tension between Hamas and Egypt continued, following the building of the barrier along the Egyptian-Gaza Strip border and various incidents… Continue reading
The construction of the underground barrier by Egypt is a major cause for concern for Hamas, considering the negative impact it will likely have on the smuggling industry. That industry, which includes smuggling weapons and civilian goods, is a major component in the military buildup of Hamas… Continue reading
The twinning of the LSE and Queen Mary College with the Islamic University in Gaza marks another achievement for the militant anti-Israeli campaign being waged on British campuses, which is characterized by demonstrations, protest activities, anti-Israeli propaganda and incitement… Continue reading
On August 25 1936, Lebanese Fawzi al-Qawuqji infiltrated into Palestine heading some 150 volunteers from neighboring Arab countries. He fought the French invasion of Syria in 1920, and organized later the resistance to the French Mandatory authorities there… Continue reading
Shukri al-Quwwatli’s war policy during the conflict in Palestine was a disaster both for his presidency and for democracy in Syria. It is easy to argue that Syria should never have pushed for war in Palestine… Continue reading

What if everything you think you know to be true is a lie, and everything you see is just an illusion? Sounds like a promo for The Matrix, but this is the reality of life in the Middle East… Continue reading
An excellent article from David M. Phillips on the Illegal Settlements Issue which dominates the Peace Process between the Israeli Government and the Palestinian Authority as one of the main… Continue reading
It is difficult to turn on a TV or radio or pick up a newspaper these days, without finding some pundit or other deploring the dismal prospects for Israeli-Palestinian peace or the dreadful living conditions of the Palestinians. Even supposedly neutral news reporters regularly repeat this sad tale… Continue reading
Ex-President Jimmy Carter has recently asked Jews for forgiveness. Carter claims that the fact that his grandson is now running for office in their home state of Georgia has nothing to do with his apology. He states that Jews only make up 2% of the county where his grandson lives – about the same percent that Jews make up in the nation at large – and so uses this as further evidence of the integrity of his intentions… Continue reading
CAMERA has sent a letter to Jimmy Carter after the former president, addressing the Jewish community in an open letter, offered an apology for anything he may have done to stigmatize Israel… Continue reading
Allam defends Israel even though Hamas condemned him to death in 2003, after he denounced the group’s terror attacks. Because of this threat, the Italian government has provided him with round-the-clock bodyguards… Continue reading
The Egyptians have begun the construction of an underground wall along the Egypt-Gaza Strip border. The wall, made of steel plates, will be nine kilometers (5.6 miles) long and very deep. It is being built to prevent smuggling from Egypt to the Gaza Strip… Continue reading
A Hamas “ministry of justice” committee called Al-Tawthiq (Documentation) claims to be behind the arrest warrant issued in Britain for former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni. It is part of the Hamas campaign to pursue Israelis in Europe in the name of the victims of Operation Cast Lead… Continue reading
As a result of the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the Provisional Government of Israel also declared the establishment of the Defence Army of Israel, consisting of land forces, a navy and an air force. Prior to the establishment of the State of Israel, a number of armed Jewish defense groups operated in British Palestine… Continue reading
The latest episode in which, to paraphrase Karl von Clausewitz, law is used as the continuation of war by other means, involved the threat to arrest former foreign minister Tzipi Livni on the nonsensical charge that she committed war crimes during Operation Cast Lead… Continue reading
In an historic and unprecedented article, Ayalon calls on the Arab world to accept Israel’s extended hand in peace and fraternity. The Deputy Foreign Minister calls on the Arab world to step forward and join with Israel to defeat the forces of extremism and destruction in the Middle East… Continue reading

The Council adopted conclusions on the Middle East Peace Process. It called for the urgent resumption of negotiations that will lead, within an agreed time-frame, to a two-state solution with the State of Israel and an independant, democratic, contiguous and viable State of Palestine, living side by side in peace and security.
It recalled that the European Union would not recognize any changes to the pre-1967 borders including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the parties… Continue reading
Het is onvoorstelbaar om aan de Oude Stad te denken zonder één enkele Jood. Van wanneer was dat geleden? Bijna 800 jaar geleden trof Maïmonides er Joden aan. Van de oude ondergrondse synagoge van Yohanan ben Zakai is bekend dat ze er al bijna 2000 jaar staat: thans, net zoals de Hurvasynagoge, ligt alles in puin. De Joden woonden in de Oude Stad toen de Seljoeken haar veroverden, ze waren er in de tijd van de Kruistochten en toen de Turken ze veroverden. Allenby trof de Joden aan toen hij Jeruzalem veroverde op de Turken. Maar vandaag is geen enkele Jood overgebleven… Continue reading
