Durban II Would Have Been Good Comedy, Were Abuses by the Self-appointed Arbiters Not So Appalling

Serious defense of Israel shone alongside clever and zany protest at the United Nations Conference Against Racism in Geneva, Switzerland earlier this week.

For representatives of countries like China, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Cuba to sit on a Council that obsessively attacks Israel instead of focusing on widespread, egregious human rights abuses …

For every woman who’s been fixed up once too many with a man who needed fixing, for every man who’s ever been fixed up with a woman in need of a psychiatric evaluation, for everyone who needs a laugh: have I got a treat for you! This Sunday July 20, I …

Americans Are Fed Up With Energy Inaction–Give Us a New Manhattan Project

This terrific video comes to me courtesy of my friend Dave Reaboi at the Center for Security Policy in Washington D.C. It really hits home.

I Spent Yesterday Afternoon in Ramallah - and Lived to Tell!

Seriously, I’m no Brooke Goldstein (no interviews of terrorists!) But yesterday I did travel to Ramallah with Daniel Lubetzky, founder of Peaceworks, a business that brings together individuals from opposing sides of world conflicts, and OneVoice, a movement Lubetzky founded that seeks to promote communication and political change.

Bill Clinton as You’ve Never Seen Him Before

This tour de force is brought to you with panache by the First Lady of politically conservative comedy.

Zohan to Feature Moishe’s Movers: How About the Princess in the IDF?

Looks like something truly creative is coming down the pike: in this soon-to-be released film, Adam Sandler plays an Israeli counterterrorism agent who comes to New York to do hair. Finally, someone mines the great comic potential of the Israeli-in-America experience.
