Arab and Muslim states could start to think of ways to help Palestinians achieve a better life and improve their children's future instead of sitting in refugee camps and waiting for handouts from the UN and other Western countries. Or is continuing to beg non-Arabs and non-Muslims for money the better deal?

Facebook claimed PragerU’s videos were deleted or blocked by mistake and apologized. But Prager has faced tech censorship before. YouTube, for example. After reading the article, whom do you believe?

I am not interested in whether Mrs. Ford, an anti-Trump activist, is telling the truth. Because even if true, what happened to her was clearly wrong, but it tells us nothing about Brett Kavanaugh since the age of 17. But for the record, I don’t believe her story.

That mendacious and dangerous phrase, "the banality of evil," should be struck from the historical vocabulary of the Holocaust and the trial of Eichmann, lest we look in the future for banality and miss the brilliance of those who would repeat Eichmann's crimes.

I believe the Torah sees politics as a means to promote God and His vision for the world. I say this based on halachic, hashkafic, and practical grounds:

Music may soothe the savage beast but it can be savage on the ears of the young when played too loudly.

Ari Fuld and the thousands of other Israeli victims of Arab attacks were murdered out of a fathomless hatred of Jews and Jewish nationhood, aided and abetted in the West by the ignorant, the ideological and the bigoted.

Israel needs to take rapid action to minimize damage. It is in its strategic interest to keep up offensive actions to the north, mainly in Syria.

According to US law, anytime an American citizen is murdered by terrorists abroad, our government has jurisdiction and is directed to prosecute the perpetrator to the full extent of the law. There is no statute of limitations
