My Word: Biden’s speech, Hamas’s deeds

Biden has a vision of a peaceful Middle East “the day after Gaza.” If only Israel’s enemies shared the same vision. The terrorists are more inspired by Hamas’s “victory” than by Biden’s nice words.

My Word: The Hague’s moral haze leaves a stain on history

Khan wanted to leave his mark. And he has. It’s a dark, bloody bruise. A stain on history.

My Word: Biden, the Eurovision, and offensive questions and answers

If Israel is not able to defend itself – hitting back at its enemies – nobody will be safe. “Ironclad support” is meaningless if it translates as a steely grip preventing Israel from taking action.

My Word: Sanctioning settlers and the two-state obsession

My Word: UNRWA’s ‘Un’-doing

The whole concept of “human rights” has been hijacked by terrorist organizations. This is the pervasion of justice that should be on trial in an international court.

 PALESTINIANS RECEIVE flour bags distributed by UNRWA in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip last November.

My Word: Unsocial media and the Gaza war
