Yoram Schweitzer wants me not to judge decisions made by the Israeli government. I recently criticized the Israeli government for its exchange with Hizbullah in "Samir Kuntar and the Last Laugh" (The Jerusalem Post, July 21); to this, the eminent counterterrorism expert at Tel Aviv University, Yoram Schweitzer challenged the appropriateness of my offering views on this subject. In "Not That Bad a Deal" (July 24) he explained to Jerusalem Post readers how the "contents and tone" of my analysis are "patronizing and insulting, overlooking as they do the fact that the government and public have the right to decide for themselves …, and to shoulder the resulting price." He also criticizes me for offering an opinion on Israeli issues from my "secure haven thousands of miles away." (read full article)

US Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barak Obama's trip to the Middle East has been a boon for his campaign's photo archive. The past week has seen the presumptive Democratic nominee feted by the leaders of Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

Stand for Israel - Tribute To A Champion Of Israel
A Tribute To A Champion Of Israel
July 25, 2008
Israel is about to lose one of its strongest and most gifted spokesmen. Dan Gillerman, who has been Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations for more than five years, is leaving the position. He made his final speech to the U.N. Security Council on July 22.
To say Gillerman's job was a challenge would be an understatement. Israel's Ambassador to the U.N. represents the Jewish state to a body that has consistently sided against Israel and with Israel's enemies. The U.N. has approved viciously anti-Israel measures such as the infamous "Zionism is Racism" resolution of 1975 (which was finally repealed in 1991, but only after much protest by Israel and… Read more »

Who Really Cares About Our Soldiers?
by Naomi Ragen (19 July 2008)
My article "Infamy" has been widely circulated. The response has been overwhelmingly supportive. But what I would like to do is speak not to those who were "shocked and disgusted" by my admission that I was ashamed to be an Israeli after the release of Sami Kuntar, the baby-killer Hezbollah is so proud of who says he can't wait to kill again- but to those who disagree for reasons I can respect. In an article entitled: "Some Mistakes are Worth Making," Daniel Gordis quotes me without using my name and says that - unlike me - he feels proud of what Israel did.

JPost.com - Anatomy of a massacre
Jul 3, 2008 20:45 Updated Jul 4, 2008 6:30
By CAROLINE GLICK
Government and police spokesmen would have us believe that the carnage in Jerusalem on Wednesday was unavoidable. Husam Taysir Dwayat, the convicted rapist, burglar and drug dealer turned jihadist who mowed down innocent people with his bulldozer on Jaffa Road was not suspected of links to terrorist organizations. The sociopathic, violent criminal who had "returned" to Islam over the past month raised no red flags. There was nothing to be done. No one is to blame. (read full story)

Camera Alert - Presbyterian Officials Prepare for General Assembly With Bait and Switch Tactics
June 20, 2008
On May 2, 2008, the Office of Interfaith Affairs of the Presbyterian Church (USA) issued a statement titled “Vigilance against anti-Jewish ideas and bias.” This statement offered a thoroughgoing critique of the denomination’s public speech about the Arab-Israeli conflict and included a long-overdue acknowledgement that “examples of anti-Jewish theology can unfortunately be found in connection with PC(USA) overtures …” While the document did not state exactly who was responsible for the anti-Jewish rhetoric, it did provide a clue by stating that some of the materials affirmed in a resolution condemning Christian Zionism passed by the denomination’s General Assembly in 2004 included expressions of “anti-Jewish theology.”
