Israel Does Not Owe Its Existence to the United Nations

Contrary to what many believe, the UN 1947 partition plan did not set the legal groundwork for the creation of the state of Israel. Rather, Eugene Kontorovich explains, Israel was created “despite the UN.” Kontorovich also discusses the potential impact of future UN resolutions.

The dirty little secret no one wants to admit about Baltimore

The population of Baltimore is 622,000 and 63 percent of its population is black. The mayor, state’s attorney, police chief and city council president are black, as is 48 percent of the police force. But as 36-year-old Robert Stokessays, “You look around and see unemployment. Filling out job applications and being turned down because of where you live and your demographic. It’s so much bigger than the police department.”

Everyone wants to have an honest conversation about race, so let’s us endeavor to do just that. Now, of course, when you speak the hard truth about race issues in America – and not just the liberal progressive talking points – and you’re white, you’ll be branded a racist. And if you’re black, well, y’all just watch the comments below and see the denigrating drivel.

The Terror Strategist: Secret Files Reveal the Structure of Islamic State by Christoph Reuter

They are led by former officers in Saddam's regime. They aren't very Islamic. And their spying techniques would put George Orwell's 1984 protagonists to shame.

Phantom Nation: Inventing the "Palestinians" as the Obstacle to Peace

 Sha'i ben-Tekoa, DeProgram Program, gave a terrific and important presentation to Children of Holocaust Survivors on his book on the invention of a Palestinian people. There is hardly a person born after 1980 (or earlier) who has any reason to believe that a Palestinian people did not exist in a country called Palestine. That is our fault for enforcing this narrative propaganda that has been the focus of the international community and the cause of the problems and danger faced by Israel.

The U.N.’s War on Israel

Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Ron Prosor, has once again criticized the UN, accusing its institutions of bias against the Jewish state. 

In an Op-Ed piece entitled "The U.N.'s War on Israel," published Tuesday in The New York Times, Prosor recounted how in the 2014-2015 session alone, the UN General Assembly adopted 20 resolutions condemning Israel, compared to only one each for Iran, Syria, and North Korea. 

Prosor added that 50% of the Human Rights Council's "condemnatory resolutions are directed the the Jewish state."
