On May 31, Israel walked straight into a trap – a trap set by a group of so-called activists determined to break Israeli attempts to halt the flow of arms and war materiel into the Gaza strip.
Having been warned in advance that the intent of the Free Gaza movement flotilla was to shatter the Israeli […]
When I flew Lt. General Moshe Ya’alon, former head of Israeli Defense Forces and currently deputy prime minister, to a Dallas for a special strategic briefing of the Iran crisis, he expressed to the group assembled his deep concerns about the terrorist state.

While the Jews prepare to celebrate June 7—Yom Yerusalayim—the reunification of Jerusalem, the Obama administration seems determined to wrest control from the hands of the Israelis and turn it over, at least in part, to the PLO. What a terrible travesty that would be.
