To understand why Israel is not occupying the West Bank - and why Russia IS occupying Crimea - one has to know the rules of international law that establish the borders of newly-formed states. For a deeper analysis, see my academic article (with Prof. Avi Bell) "Palestine, Uti…
I wish people would wait longer than 30 seconds before jumping to conclusions about an alleged incident. But we live in an age where if you don’t have a fully formed opinion on every story the moment it breaks, you’re irrelevant, heartless, or “part of the problem"
Breaking via @israelpolice regarding the reported "arson attack" by Israeli settlers: "Contrary to misleading reports, no damage was caused to the Church of Saint George in Taybeh. The fire was limited to an adjacent open area, not the holy site. Emergency services received…
Now let’s apply these criteria to the rest of the U.N.
The United States informed UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay of our decision to withdraw from UNESCO. UNESCO works to advance divisive social and cultural causes and maintains an outsized focus on the UN sustainable development goals, a globalist ideological agenda for…
Now show the protests in Gaza against the abduction and holding by of hostages. I dont think this makes the point you want …
Hundreds of Israelis are now marching in the center of Tel Aviv against the starvation of Gaza at the hands of the Israeli government. Some are holding sacks of flour.
My father is referring to a great David Letterman line about Hart’s reentry into the campaign that I can’t repeat on a family-friendly account.
The history of the US relations with UNESCO reminds one of Gary Hart's presidential campaign and the folklore it gave rise to.

While the breakup with UNESCO is welcome, important to stress US not properly a member. When Truman joined in 1946, he got Congress to authorize it. When Biden purported to rejoin after Trump quit, he didn’t bother to get reauthorization from Congress.
רואים את המאמר הזה? הוא פורסם בוול סטריט ז'ורנל, @WSJ, בסוף אפריל 25, בידי פרופ' יוג'ין קונטרוביץ' @EVKontorovich, חוקר בכיר בפורום קהלת. המאמר, שקרא לממשל טראמפ לפרוש מאונסק"ו, מנומק ומלא בדוגמאות רקע על פשעי וחטאי הארגון. אונסק"ו הוא ארגון אנטי-ישראלי שהכיר באתרים קדושים…

BREAKING: @nypost reports U.S. is quitting @UNESCO for its relentless promotion of woke, racialist, progressive, and antisemitic policies. I called out many of the same examples in a @WSJ oped (on right) a few months ago…

Now why doesn’t Israel join the U.S. in quitting @WHO, which actively supported Hamas in Gaza?
We welcome the US administration's decision to withdraw from UNESCO. This is a necessary step, designed to promote justice and Israel's right for fair treatment in the UN system, a right which has often been trampled due to politicization in this arena. Singling out Israel and…
Not just broken. The UN, through its lies and actions, proves itself to be diametrically opposed to its stated mission every single day. They give actual aid and comfort to terrorist states and enemies of free countries. Everything they do destroys liberty and undermines the…
It’s really flabbergasting that Israel voluntarily remains in this broken U.N. org, a kind of UNRWA in white robes, even after the U.S. has quit. Israeli health officials have got people believing they’ll die of horrible plague if not in WHO.

.@WHO’s staff residence in Deir al Balah, #Gaza, was attacked three times today as well as its main warehouse. Israeli military entered the premises, forcing women and children to evacuate on foot toward Al-Mawasi amid active conflict. Male staff and family members were…
Amb. Huckabee is right to call out violence against Americans, regardless of perpetrator. But no one noticed the most novel thing about this message -- describing Tabyeh as "in Israel." Anyone telling you Huckabee's support is wavering is just wishcasting.
I work for ALL American citizens who live in Israel-Jewish, Muslim or Christian. When they are terrorized or victims of crime I will demand those responsible be held accountable w/ real consequences. Was in Taybeh today to meet with people of that village to listen & learn.
Disgusting! 25 nations put pressure on @Israel instead of savages of Hamas! Gaza suffers for 1 reason: Hamas rejects EVERY proposal. Blaming Israel is irrational. Israel rejects 25 nation statement calling for end to Gaza war timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry… via @timesofisrael
