Why did he hide in a mosque? Western policymakers and analysts would likely offer pragmatic explanations and completely ignore the larger significance of his chosen hiding place. Islam is the one aspect of the conflict that supporters of the “Palestinian” jihad regularly cite as their primary impetus for the Israeli/ “Palestinian” conflict itself. Yet it […]
Judea and Samaria: Palestinian arrest of journalist sparks outrage over crackdown on dissidents
So far this year alone, over 300 journalists, students and activists have been rounded up in a Palestinian Authority crackdown on dissidents. The crackdowns are increasingly repressive and abusive.

Israel Must Stop Using ‘West Bank’ For ‘Judea and Samaria’
Almost two millennia ago the Romans, who had been given considerable trouble by rebellious Jews living in their homeland and resisting Roman rule – you remember Masada, of course, and the destruction of the Second Temple? — decided around the time of the Bar Kochba revolt in 135 A.D., to rename “Judea” as “Syria Palestina,” […]
Biden’s handlers accused of planning to train, equip and deploy Palestinian terrorists in Judea and Samaria
The Biden administration is either dangerously naive or worse. It is presenting this plan under the pretext of helping to curb terrorism in Judea and Samaria, yet ZOA says this “unconscionable and illegal plan” would aid Palestinian jihadists. Meanwhile, another report has exposed the U.S. State Department’s funding of an anti-Netanyahu Leftist group that is […]

Israel: ‘Palestinian’ Muslims murder two civilians in jihad massacre in Judea and Samaria

MK: Israel has to ‘stop surrendering to….people that never existed and suddenly popped up’
Zvika Fogel’s words are reminiscent of a 2011 comment by Newt Gingrich that caused a flurry of attention when Gingrich was Republican presidential hopeful. Gingrich “declared that the Palestinians are an ‘invented’ people who want to destroy Israel.” History proves this statement, which was deemed inaccurate and harsh by Gingrich’s opponents, to be correct. The […]
