“This is the worst group of appointments to cabinet positions with respect to U.S.-Israel relations ever,” Morton Klein told me earlier this week. Klein is the leader of the Zionist Organization of America, the largest conservative group in Jewish American politics. Biden, Klein says, is stacking his administration with Obama-era staffers hostile to Israel and […]
Joe Biden has been in the White House for less than a month so it is perhaps too early to gauge what his comprehensive policy towards Israel will be. But if his initial moves are any indication, the Jewish state might want to grab a diplomatic sweater or two and begin bracing itself for a […]
White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday downplayed the fact that U.S. President Joe Biden has not yet called Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu since taking office. Asked during her press briefing whether the fact that Biden has not yet called Netanyahu is surprising, she replied, “I don’t know that it’s surprising less than two […]
“Why Is Georgetown Providing a Platform for This Dangerous Group?” an op-ed in the Washington Post had asked. The group was the Palestine Solidarity Movement, a BDS anti-Israel hate group whose conferences had a history of antisemitism, supporting Hamas and the murder of Jews. Maher Bitar, one of the executive board members of Students for Justice in Palestine, was one […]

A group of 122 Palestinian academics, journalists, writers and filmmakers signed a letter last month taking issue with the widespread adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Association (IHRA)’s definition of anti-Semitism. Their statement has gotten a lot of attention and been rightly criticized as both disingenuous and illegitimate since it is absurd for a group […]
The president of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the nation’s oldest pro-Israel organization, spoke with Breitbart News and expressed his outrage at Joe Biden’s latest pick, Karine Jean-Pierre, who was appointed White House principal deputy press secretary on Sunday evening and has been described as an anti-Israel radical who praised Democrats for shunning a […]
President Donald Trump eminently deserved the three nominations he received for the Nobel Peace Prize. And by all rights, the president should have won the prize this year. President Trump made groundbreaking contributions to world peace that no one believed were possible. Professor David Flint, one of the four Australian law professors who nominated President […]
After networks projected that Joe Biden would win the presidential election, he pledged to the American public: “I promise you this: I will be a president for all Americans—whether you voted for me or not.” Biden made the same promise as his central election campaign theme; he reiterated this promise in town halls, debates and social media.
