Israel Insider softly, quietly launches a new society, forum and "megazine"
08/11/2008
The breaches proved a blessing in disguise -- a kick in the britches to begin rolling out a new concept in online participatory content and comment sharing.
Olmert, go home (or to prison)! Kadima, prepare a salad!

The Zionist Dream, Revisited
Micah D. Halpern  August 25, 2008
So how do these Muslim refugees from Darfur fit into the Zionist dream? They don't. But Israel will see to it that they will.
Misleading platform platitudes on Israel
Jonathan S. Tobin  August 25, 2008
Once upon a time, the conventions of the two major political parties were more than carefully orchestrated photo opportunities and pep rallies.
A Memorable Night Among Israel's Christian Defenders
Sarah Lehmann  August 19, 2008
The Christians of CUFI fervently believe God will bless them because of their support of the Jewish people. I stand in awe of their activism.
The World Jewish Congress embraces an anti-Semite
Isi Leibler  August 19, 2008
WJC officials hailed the meeting with Venezuelan President Chavez as "successful" and proclaimed he had joined the global struggle against anti-Semitism.
Palestinian Authority Catches Olympic Games Fever
David Singer  August 19, 2008
The opening of the Olympic Games was rated a spectacular success. But smoke and mirrors introduced an air of present reality where none really exist.
Israel's grand strategy
Barry Rubin  August 18, 2008
The strategy looks messy, poses many problems, yet is neither terrible nor irrational. As Churchill said about being 90, consider the alternatives.
Gestures
David Wilder  August 18, 2008
Yehoshua Saloma was the first Jew to be killed in Hebron since the 1929 riots. His murderer is about to be freed by the Israeli government.
From Tbilisi to Tehran
Michael Freund  August 15, 2008
The ayatollahs in Iran are glued to their television screens, waiting to see how the West responds to Russia's aggression in Georgia.
The Holly Land
Orit Arfa  August 15, 2008
I'd rather look at the land of Hollywood and enjoy simple nature rather than look at the land of Israel and constantly ponder its complex meaning.
Barak's remarks on futility of defending against Hamas reveal his character
Dr. Aaron Lerner  August 15, 2008
The ongoing smuggling into Gaza and strengthening of the Hamas army isn't a big deal, as far as Israel's Minister of Defense is concerned.
Post-Zionism's fatal flaw
Martin Sherman  August 13, 2008
If Israel is not Zionist, it will not be Jewish; if it is not Jewish it will not be democratic.
Israel's Victory in the Games of Brotherhood
Paula R. Stern  August 10, 2008
Even if many of our people are fasting today, and not swimming, in Beijing the Iranians handed us the icing on the cake.
Still Yearning for their Lost Homeland
Judy Lash Balint  August 10, 2008
The passage of three years since she was evicted from her home in Gush Katif has not dulled the passion of Anita Tucker for her lost home.
Return to Gaza
Michael Freund  August 6, 2008
Let's correct the injustice done to the residents of Gush Katif, and allow them to rebuild their lives, homes and shattered communities.
Israel Needs the Phalanx
Micah D. Halpern  August 6, 2008
Buy it or borrow it. Go back to Washington. Israel needs protection now. And now, only the US has the equipment capable of providing that protection.
The Making of a Zionist
Miranda Jones  August 3, 2008
I am soon returning to the States to complete my last year of undergraduate education. Then I will make aliyah. I feel like I will be coming home.
Unscrambling Olmert's Omelet
David Singer  August 2, 2008
"No clever arrangement of bad eggs ever made a good omelet," CS Lewis wrote. Israel had best wash the frying pan and start fresh.
"Peace Agreement", not "Peace" - a critical distinction
Dr. Aaron Lerner  July 31, 2008
The greater the Israeli security concessions for a piece of paper, the greater the chances that the Arabs ultimately turn their backs on the deal.
Xtian Support: No Strings Attached?
Moshe Feiglin  July 30, 2008
The xtian conquest is much more dangerous than the Moslim conquest because it is not direct. It is not violent. It is embracing and supportive.
Tit for Tat comes back
Micah D. Halpern  July 30, 2008
Tensions simmering below the surface are now out in the open and boiling over. Hamas and Fatah are out not only for blood, but for power and control.
Don't confuse interfaith dialogue with groveling
Isi Leibler  July 30, 2008
As the Saudi Arabians babbled on about tolerance and goodwill, Jewish participants dared not raise the issue of state-sponsored clerical anti-Semitism.
With platitudes aplenty in Israel, Obama plunges "Palestine" down the tubes
David Singer  July 29, 2008
Obama's visit showed he's an ordinary pol, putting selfish interests before the humanitarian interests of the people for whom he professes concern.
Hope? Change? Yes! Hope Obama Changes!
Barry Rubin  July 29, 2008
Barack Obama has been to the Middle East. He said he supported Israel and wanted peace. So I guess everything's ok, right?
Obama: Remember What You Saw Here, Learn What You Didn't
Paula R. Stern  July 27, 2008
Why did Barack Obama and his advisors think that American Jews wanted to see Israel's weakness and not its strength?
One world? Obama's on a different planet
John Bolton  July 27, 2008

Ode to Obama the Messiah
Gerard Baker  July 27, 2008
He ventured forth to bring light to the world. The anointed one's pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action, a blessing to his faithful followers.
The Third Lebanon War
Mark Silverberg  July 27, 2008
Celebrations for Kuntar not only reveal (again) the depths of Hezbollah's moral bankruptcy, but also Lebanese readiness to follow it into the abyss.
Does "Pro-Israel" Mean Anything?
M.J. Rosenberg  July 27, 2008
It is only here in the United States that pro-Israel advocates insist that politicians rely on canned talking points to show their devotion to Israel.
Seeing the Horizon, not just the Edge
Yishai Fleisher  July 27, 2008
Let's not fall victim to our enemies' dark desires to see Israel partially, in a negative light. Instead, let's focus on the approaching horizon of destiny.

Dr. Aaron Lerner  July 26, 2008
Palestinians grossly violate the "letter" of agreements -- but foes of settlement construction falsely try to equate these with violations of the "spirit".
