March 23, 2011
While five Israeli Jews were being murdered in Itamar last week, something else was being murdered on college campuses across America: Israel’s name.

David Suissa: Behind the Itamar Murders
March 14, 2011
It is fashionable when talking about the “peace process” to focus on hope—to try to nurture the moderate elements among our “peace partners” and constantly inject good faith and good will to keep the process moving “forward.”
A UN resolution against hypocrisy
March 9, 2011
Writing a column protesting the hypocrisy of the United Nations is not really fair. It’s like a turkey shoot. The evidence is so overwhelming that the U.N. is viciously biased against Israel — and ridiculously biased in favor of the Palestinians — that you’re tempted to just move on to a less depressing subject.
J Street needs another lane
March 2, 2011
I was watching the J Street convention on its Web site, and it reminded me a little of those underground meetings among religious settlers in the West Bank. That is, a constant flow of red meat served to the fervent and the like-minded. In the case of J Street, this red meat can be boiled down to this: It is really, really, really, really important that Israel reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians.

If I were advising the president or prime minister of Israel, I would suggest he go on Al Jazeera this week and deliver this message to the people of the Middle East:
The 22-state solution

Has the world ever witnessed such a radical and overnight transformation of one country? Have we ever seen a nation, in 18 short days, go from a place that represents darkness to one that represents hope, renewal and liberation?
Letter to George Soros: Israel, a stumbling block or shining light?
February 9, 2011
I saw that you wrote in The Washington Post last week that Israel is the “main stumbling block” to democratic progress in Egypt. You also said that “as a committed advocate of democracy and open society, I cannot help but share in the enthusiasm that is sweeping across the Middle East.”
Israel never looked so good

They all warned us. The geniuses at Peace Now. The brilliant diplomats. The think tanks. Even the Arab dictators warned us. For decades now, they have been warning us that if you want “peace in the Middle East,” just fix the Palestinian problem. A recent variation on this theme has been: Just get the Jews in the West Bank and East Jerusalem to “freeze” their construction, and then, finally, Palestinian leaders might come to the table and peace might break out.
Old eyes
January 26, 2011
Every aspiring actor in Hollywood should have a mother like Tamar Josephson. Typically, if you meet a Hollywood agent at a cocktail party who wants to flack a client’s work, he’ll give you the elevator pitch (“Schindler’s List” meets “Star Wars!”), do a little schmooze and then slip you his business card. But Josephson is not your typical Hollywood agent. She’s a doting, loving, over-the-top enthusiastic Jewish mother who, if she ever met the Queen of England, would probably hand her a promotional leaflet for her daughter’s new one-woman play, “New Eyes,” at the Firehouse Theatre in Sherman Oaks.
