    As an Arab, I am Disgusted by Jews–Who Oppose Google’s Israel Contract

    As an Arab, I wish that the Google Jewish employees would learn the history of the people that they claim to belong to.

    Time for Israel to End the Occupation

    West Bank annexation means losing the country's Jewish majority or imposing apartheid; inaction is simply too costly

    As an Arab, I am Sorry

    What my people have done to your people on, after, and before October 7--and for decades and even centuries before that--is inexcusable. It can never be repaired.
    Rejuvenation: The Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Partition

    Nakba Day: Annual Reminder that Palestinians Learned Nothing from History

    The Jews accepted the Partition Plan whereas the Arabs rejected it. In other words, the Jews chose compromise, and the Arabs gambled on war-and lost.

    As an Arab, I am Embarrassed by the Six-Day War

    I am not embarrassed that we Arabs lost. We deserved to lose, and I cannot even think of the massacres that may have ensued if we won. I am embarrassed that we started the war in the first place.

    What the Heck Happened to American Jews?

    A substantial percentage of Jews refuse to stand up with their fellow Jews against antisemitism at a time when antisemitism is particularly virulent

    With Oct. 7, We Arabs Reached a New Low

    Arab antisemitism is not new. It is much older than modern Israel, but despite that checkered history, October 7 was a new low that can never be forgotten or forgiven.

    Jews: The Minority that Disturbs

    What is it about Jews that disturbs so much? What disturbs the world is that Jews are a minority that does not behave like a minority. Jews refuse to shut up, comply, and become invisible

    Why the World Cares about 1982 Sabra and Shatila Massacre

    I am ashamed that the loss of Arab lives seems to matter to the world only if Israel can be blamed, even indirectly. Mostly, I am ashamed of what this event, like so many others in the history of the Israel-Arab conflict, says about the world’s bias against the only Jewish state.

    Israelis Should be Proud

    So, the war will continue. The worst of the war may not even yet be over. But while the resolve of Israelis is being tested every day, their will is not broken.

    Yes, I Had Fun in Israel while Palestinians Were Getting Killed in Gaza

    It is not Israel that needs to change. It is not Israel that needs to be boycotted. It is the Arab world that needs to have a deep look at itself, how it behaves towards its own peoples and towards others, and how it needs to change.

    Guilty Until Proven Innocent–and then STILL Guilty

    Convict, and only then hold the trial and look at the evidence
    A Jewish boy wearing a kippa and holding an Israeli flag in Hebron.

    Airbnb’s VERY Idiotic Decision

    Airbnb titles its decision “Listings in Disputed Regions”, but it mentions one and only one “region”, which it calls “Israeli settlements in the West Bank”. Apparently, the Airbnb “experts” are not aware of other disputed regions that Airbnb still services

    Strike Left-wing anti-Semitism Where it Hurts

    It is time to have left-wing parties that can eloquently, loudly, and proudly speak about the history of the Jewish people and about the many challenges that Israel has faced and continues to face.

    Hamas Played the WORLD

    Just like those who did not stand with Israel in previous Israel-Gaza wars, those who did not stand with Israel this time will have blood on their hands.

    Israel’s Ambiguity in Judea and Samaria Comes at a High Cost

    Israel is still losing the battle for public opinion because Israel’s own government is not doing its part. To regain the upper hand in the battle, Israel needs a clear policy in Judea and Samaria,

    Why I Support the Israeli ‘Occupation’

    Until Palestinian leadership accepts a Jewish state, there is no reasonable alternative to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. Unconditionally leaving the West Bank into the hands of terrorists obsessed with killing Jews is not an option.

    The Palestinian Refugee Problem Can be Solved

    It does not make sense to assume that all Palestinian refugees would move to a new Palestinian state. There are several possibilities for these refugees:

    Visiting Israel is a Privilege not a Right

    Israel has absolutely no obligation to let BDS activists enter the country. There is no automatic right to enter any country that one wishes to enter. It is a privilege that must be earned.

    Another Anti-Semitic War Coming while World Looks the other Way Again

    While the Lebanese terrorists’ phenomenal arsenal pointed at Israel is indication enough, the whipping up of hatred may be an even stronger indication that Hezbullah is itching for another war with Israel

    Today’s Lebanese Patriot is a Lebanese who Stands with Israel

    Lebanon’s friends are the type of friends who make you think that you don’t need enemies. Ironically, except for its "enemy" Israel.

    Pragmatism, Maximalism, and Religionism in the Israel-Palestinian Conflict

    Arab states who had a central role in starting the conflict, may end up being the catalyst that finally infuses the pragmatism that is needed for a solution.

    We SHOULD Talk about Systemic Antisemitism

    Without systemic antisemitism, it would be impossible to explain why the United Nations condemned Israel 17 times in 2020 while the UN’s combined condemnations of ALL OTHER COUNTRIES ON THE PLANET, including China which is engaged in a genocide of Uighur Muslims, amounted to only 6.

    Let the Statues Fall!

    An alternative perspective on the toppling of legends.

    Lebanon’s Hatred of Israel: A Symptom of Dysfunction

    If Lebanon had prevented terrorist attacks against Israel, not one bullet would have been fired between the countries. Today, Lebanon would be enjoying the benefit of diplomatic relations with Israel

    Arab by Birth, Zionist by Choice

    My birth on the Arab side of the Israel-Arab conflict was not my choice, but my moral stand is my choice, and my choice is Israel.

    With Trump, Many Arab Americans are Getting what they Deserve

    Voters who should have cared about the suffering in Gaza placed their hatred of Israel ahead of the interests of the Palestinians

    The Hypocrisy of Expecting PERFECTION from Israel

    Despite its faults, Israel is still far more democratic, far more just, and far more respectful of life and human rights than its enemies (which include my native country Lebanon).

    The West No Longer Can Identify Evil

    This should have been obvious long ago, but better late than never.
