We all know the old adage “the best defense is a good offense.” In an era of boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS), investing in Israel’s economy has become our greatest form of offense.
While it has long been a sound financial decision, today, investing in Israel takes on added relevance as an expression of confidence that the country’s economic resilience will continue despite geopolitical instability and BDS tactics. Through every challenge, Israel’s economy remains an outstanding example of innovation and progress.

On September 27, 2012, Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu of Israel delivered a speech to the United Nations. That speech is well worth reading, if someone is interested in world events and, in particular, a discussion of why it is a matter of life and death whether Iran is able to develop nuclear bombs. For Israel, it is an existential matter, since Iran's leaders have regularly threatened to destroy Israel. The president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has on a number of occasions denied there is any connection between the Jewish people and the land he refers to as Palestine. And he is a Holocaust denier as well.

Worried about a nuclear Iran? Do you think such a development would not only threaten Israel's very existence but would intimidate the Arab countries of the Gulf, put the radical Islamist regime in position to threaten the West, and lead to unmanageable nuclear proliferation?
Have no fear. Along comes Kenneth N. Waltz, the highly respected professor of international relations at Columbia University, who argues in a feature-length article in the July/August issue of Foreign Affairs magazine that not only is there nothing to worry about, but in fact, "Iran Should Get the Bomb."

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the Bible of the Anti-Semites, brainwashed the minds of the masses in many countries. "It was the background and the linkage of the Holocaust," remarked the famous distinguished lawyer, judge, and justice of the Israeli Supreme Court, Hadassah Ben-Itto. She dedicated her public life to defend the Jews and Israel against their enemies. She fought everywhere and in the UN for the image of Israel as a liberal-democratic state.

Between 1967 and 1993, just a few hundred Palestinians from the West Bank or Gaza won the right to live in Israel by marrying Israeli Arabs (who constitute nearly one-fifth of Israel's population) and acquiring Israeli citizenship. Then the Oslo Accords offered a little-noted family-reunification provision that turned this trickle into a river: 137,000 residents of the Palestinian Authority (PA) moved to Israel in 1994-2002, some of them engaged in either sham or polygamous marriages.

The only way to defeat those who deny our rights to our homeland, our nationhood and our history in our own land is to expose their corruption, and their hateful intentions towards the Jewish people.
You have to hand it to the Palestinians.
They decided to abandon the peace process and seek international recognition of the "State of Palestine" a state in a de facto state of war with Israel. And they are pursuing their goal relentlessly.
