My Word
My Word: Gazan performance art - opinion
An opening act chanting “Free Palestine” and falsely accusing Israel of genocide sets the stage for more violence.
My Word: From 9/11 to October 7, the dates that changed the world - opinion
My Word: The Marwan Barghouti effect - opinion
My Word: It’s a funny old world - opinion
My Word: Words, wars, and signs of the times
Collins dubbed "Brat" the word of the year, which established "brat summer" as an aesthetic and way of life. Clearly the global Collins wordsmiths didn't have the type of summer we had in Israel.
My Word: Dealing in dangerous deals
Ehud Olmert’s revived peace plan reemerges amidst Israel’s conflict, risking further turmoil without offering a real path to peace.
My Word: Terrorism thrives while the world watches
The murder of six Israeli hostages by Hamas, after months of captivity, has sent shockwaves through Israel. While the world offers words of condemnation, Hamas continues its brutality without fear.
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: Combining commemoration and celebration
We survive not just because we remember the past but because we understand that, no matter what, we have a future. Am Yisrael chai!
My Word: Dos and don’ts in defense and diplomacy
If Israel is not free to act without the blessing of Western powers, their support is a mixed blessing indeed.
The warning signs in symbols and slogans of the pro-Palestine cause - comment
Nothing is lost in translation, but there are still those who prefer not to read the writing on the wall in any language.
My Word: The Eurovision and the drums of war
The Eurovision is scheduled to take place in May in the Swedish city of Malmo, which has a large Muslim immigrant community and a dwindling Jewish one, chased out by antisemitism.
