Every Senate Democrat voted in opposition to a stand-alone Israel aid package.  The package, which passed in the House on Nov. 2, would have provided Israel with $14.3 billion and was set to pull funding from President Joe Biden’s IRS budget to do so.  On Tuesday, Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., used a special motion to…

WASHINGTON—Hundreds of thousands of men and women flooded the nation's capital on Tuesday for the March for Israel and demanded the return of hostages captured by Hamas.

“There is only one solution: intifada revolution!” campus radicals chanted last week at Princeton University, Tufts University, the University of Maryland, and other collleges nationwide. If these students’ call for “one solution” to the “problem” of the Jewish state reminds you of Nazi Germany’s so-called Final Solution, there’s a reason for that: The chant was…

A video captured by Dominick Buehler, a member of the Young Leaders Program in the Oversight Project at The Heritage Foundation, shows a horrific scene from Tuesday’s March for Israel: Buehler says the man repeatedly shouted, “F— Jews” and “F— white people” and also referred to the Jewish people “occupying” Palestine. “People were shocked,” Buehler…

Despite calls from the United Nations and others for a “humanitarian truce” between Israel and Hamas, Israeli Embassy official Eliav Benjamin says, “Nobody in Israel is talking about a cease-fire at this point.” Benjamin adds that there is “zero appetite for that.”   Benjamin, deputy chief of mission at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, told…

The Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Capitol Police said they are taking proactive security measures to protect the March for Israel, a massive pro-Israel demonstration planned for Tuesday, The Daily Signal has learned.

This week, my organization, Center for Urban Renewal and Education, held an event in Michigan’s 12th Congressional District, the district of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. Forty Christian pastors—white, black, Hispanic—attended to speak out in support of Israel. We brought these Christian spokespersons into the backyard of one of the most aggressive voices in the U.S….

Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan’s 12th District has been censured by the House of Representatives following a vote on Tuesday night. A privileged resolution to censure Tlaib was introduced on Monday by Republican Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia following her repeated comments criticizing Israel for its response to terrorist attacks by Hamas on Oct. 7. After…

President Joe Biden, who initially declared his “rock-solid and unwavering” support for Israel, called for a “pause” in the Jewish state’s ground assault in Gaza on Wednesday amid criticism of Israeli airstrikes. Yet, a senior member of Hamas’ Politburo showed exactly why Israel must root out the genocidal terrorist group after the horrific pogrom of…

There is something surreal, even sick about the current Israel-Hamas war. Throughout European and American cities and campuses, tens of thousands of Middle East immigrants and students, and radical leftists chant nonstop, “Free Palestine from the River to the Sea.” More recently, they are also yelling, “Israel, you can’t hide, we caught you in genocide.”…

The House passed a stand-alone bill Thursday that would send military aid to Israel in its conflict with Hamas terrorists, to be funded by cuts to the budget of the Internal Revenue Service. The Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024 would provide funds to the Defense Department to replace equipment provided to Israel as military aid,…

The escalating Israel-Hamas war means that the Abraham Accords between Israel and two former enemies in the Middle East “are needed now more than ever,” Jared Kushner said in a post last week on social media. Kushner should know. As a top White House aide as well as son-in-law to then-President Donald Trump, Kushner was…

As the Israel Defense Forces enter Gaza to wage war against Hamas, it’s important to remember the extent to which Israel works tirelessly to meet and vastly exceed the requirements of international law, including the law of armed conflict. The four basic principles of the law of war: distinction, proportionality, military necessity, and limitation.   …

The U.N. General Assembly called Friday for a “humanitarian truce” between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas rulers, but a cease-fire isn’t an option for the Jewish nation, activist Boris Zilberman says.  If the Israel-Hamas war is put on pause, Zilberman says, Hamas terrorists will use the time “to retool.”  Zilberman, director of public policy and strategy…

Earlier this month, Hamas launched the largest coordinated attack against Israel in more than 50 years, leaving over 1,400 dead in its wake. To carry out its heinous attack, Hamas penetrated one of the most secure borders in the world. Over 6,000 miles away, we, too, face a crisis at our borders. Americans have lived…

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and the Anti-Defamation League condemned the anti-Israel vandalism in a Jewish community near the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh one day before the fifth anniversary of the horrific murder of 11 congregants. Yet the Southern Poverty Law Center, which bills itself as an expert on “hate groups” and antisemitism, has…

According to a new Harvard/Harris poll, only the police and military are more respected than Israel. It’s heartening that Americans overwhelmingly support civilization over the Islamofascists of Gaza and Iran. Then again, “Palestinian Authority” gets 17% support, and Hamas has a 14% positive rating—which is to say 14% of your neighbors have taken the side…

Four Republican senators have introduced a bill to appropriate immediate assistance and aid to Israel. The stand-alone bill would ensure funding for Israel is not delayed by President Joe Biden’s competing priorities in the Ukraine war and would strip out “all aid to Gaza that could be funneled to Hamas terrorists,” according to a press…
