editor 13 May 2013

By Israel Today Staff.. The family of 24-year-old Salam al-Zaghal is openly admitting to and defending his brutal murder of an Israeli Jew in Samaria last week. ”What he has done is the duty of all Palestinians who suffer from the aggression of the army and the settlers,” stated al-Zaghal’s father, Ali al-Zaghal. It should come as little wonder that average Palestinians think this way about their Jewish neighbors when their own leaders in the Palestinian Authority are setting such a terrible example.

editor 11 May 2013
By Mark Langfan (Arutz Sheva).. Either Netanyahu really believes the “Two-State Solution”, or he is just pretending he does because it looks and feels good. In 280-279 BCE, Greek King Pyrrhus’ army suffered irreplaceable casualties in defeating the Romans at Heraclea and at Asculum.

Yet failure to acknowledge the limitations of this relationship would be costly. (more…)
