The news from northern New Jersey this week was not good. Several Molotov cocktails and other incendiary devices were thrown at Congregation Beth El in Rutherford early on the morning of Jan. 11, igniting a fire in the second-floor bedroom of the rabbi’s residence above the synagogue. This was the fourth anti-Semitic incident in Bergen County within a three-week period. A fire was intentionally set at a synagogue in Paramus and anti-Semitic graffiti was discovered at synagogues in Hackensack and Maywood. The Rutherford incident is being classified as a bias crime and attempted murder. The Bergen County prosecutor said there...

On Monday, Palestinian Media Watch posted on YouTube a video showing the Mufti of the 'Palestinian Authority,' Muhammad Hussein, presenting the killing of Jews as a religious goal. Last week, the principal Palestinian Authority religious leader, the Mufti Muhammad Hussein, presented the killing of Jews by Muslims as a religious Islamic goal. At an event celebrating the 47th anniversary of the founding of Fatah, he cited the Hadith (Islamic tradition attributed to Muhammad) saying that the Hour of Resurrection will not come until Muslims fight the Jews and kill them: "The Hour [of Resurrection] will not come until you fight...

More arrests, more destruction, more annihilationists by the occupy destroy movement exalted my the media and left wing goons. Thousands of arrests, rapes, rape tents, murders, arson, Jew hatred, the stuff of left wing lunatic love. But the enemeida despised, slandered, and smeared the pro-America Tea Party, million of peaceful activists, no arrests, no crime, no racism.... and the media's knee jerk hatred of the good for being the good. From coast to coast the #owsoccupiers were on the warpath when the new year rang in. Target, America. In New York: Some 800 Occupy Wall Street protesters began the new...

Once again, the real news in France is conveniently not being reported as it should. To give you an idea of what’s going on in France where there are now between 5 and 6 million Muslims and about 600,000 Jews, here is an email that came from a Jew living in France. Will the world say nothing – again – as it did in Hitler’s time? “I am a Jew — therefore I am forwarding this to everyone on all my e-mail lists. I will not sit back and do nothing. Nowhere have the flames of anti-Semitism burned more furiously...

The White House sought on Wednesday to limit damage to U.S.-Israel relations following revelations that French President Nicolas Sarkozy called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel "a liar" in a private conversation with President Barack Obama. "Our record speaks very clearly about the president's commitment to Israel and he has maintained a very close working relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu," White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters, referring to Obama. Obama has had a difficult relationship with Netanyahu, who criticized him for pushing Israel too hard in the drive for a Middle East peace deal, straining Obama's...

President Obama is using the beginning of Rosh Hashanah as a chance to say that he “will continue to stand with Israel.” Obama recorded a video for the Jewish community, released Tuesday, in which he says that Israel faces “the uncertainties of an unpredictable age.” “While we cannot know all that the New Year will bring, we do know this: The United States will continue to stand with Israel, because the bond between our two nations is unshakable,” he says. Obama didn’t directly mention the Middle East peace process

Speaking at the Congressional Black Caucus annual awards dinner in Washington Saturday night, President Obama made a verbal boo-boo. While defending his call for the rich to pay more in taxes, the president said he didn’t mind people calling him a class warrior for merely asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a Jew. Whoops! The president meant to say “janitor” instead of “Jew,” and he immediately corrected himself. After all, he doesn’t need any more problems keeping Jewish voters enthusiastic about his re-election bid.

A split is developing among Jewish Democrats. Could it lead to a divorce? Years ago, there was a popular movie, Kramer vs. Kramer, starring Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep. It was heartbreaking flick, as these two spouses, once so in love, duke it out in court. I was thinking that there's a similar type experience happening today within the Democratic Party. Just like when lovers start sparring, there's a battle going on among American Jews. The reason is that there are two distinct groups of Democratic Jews, with almost nothing in common. They have coexisted peacefully for many decades, staying...

*puts on tin foil hat* Historic Jerusalem is not Prophetic Jerusalem "For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem" (Isaiah 2:3). Jerusalem, Jerusalem. There is probably more confused preaching in recent years on "Jerusalem" than on any other name from Scripture except perhaps "Jew." Scripture, such as that quoted above, is used by a great many Christian ministers to mean the literal city of Jerusalem in old Palestine. They say that there God is going to restore His Israel people and begin to set up His earthly kingdom from which Jewish...

SHILO, West Bank (AP) — Rabbi Arele Harel offers an unconventional solution for Orthodox Jewish gay men who want to raise a conventional family: He fixes them up with Orthodox lesbians. His matchmaking service, which has just gone online, has met criticism on opposing fronts. Orthodox Jewish rabbis say Harel should be doing more to encourage gays and lesbians to try to change their sexual orientation. Liberal religious gay groups see Harel's approach as a ploy to suppress homosexuality.

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s government is returning hundreds of properties confiscated from the country’s Christian and Jewish minorities over the past 75 years in a gesture to religious groups who complain of discrimination that is also likely to thwart possible court rulings against the country. A government decree published Saturday returns assets that once belonged to Greek, Armenian or Jewish trusts and makes provisions for the government to pay compensation for any confiscated property that has since been sold on. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was scheduled to announce the decision formally later Sunday when he hosts religious leaders and...

Washington, DC --(Ammoland.com)- My Friends: The mainstream media is doing its best to belittle a dangerous trend in America today: the “flash mob” of “youths”. The term “flash mob” originally referred to groups of peaceful citizenry who gathered for what are best called “social experiments” – jovial sing-alongs and dance-alongs and other forms of harmless improvisational theater. I was personally caught up by several such “flash mobs” in New York City – and smiled at the entertaining street theater. (YouTube video.) Times have changed rapidly, and ominously so. In Wisconsin – home to JPFO’s office – “Witnesses’ accounts claim everything...

The dismembered body of a missing 9-year-old Hasidic boy was found at two locations in Brooklyn and police this morning arrested a suspect in the slaying -- who had the child's severed feet in his freezer, sources told The Post.

It is impossible not to notice the growing menace of Islam around the globe as Muslims agitate western governments with their ever increasing list of demands. After the dissolution of the Ottoman Caliphate by Mustafa Ataturk in 1922, Muslims everywhere have this heightened expectation of the re-emergence of a world wide Caliphate lead by their spiritual and military leader who will be called the Mahdi.   Just recently the president of Iran, , referred to the coming of the Mahdi in his speech to the UN on 23rd September 2008. Ahmadinejad has consistently called for the elimination of Israel, and...

Some 5,500 Ethiopian immigrants will celebrate the seder together in 16 absorption centers throughout Israel.

It’s not easy being God’s chosen people. If you don’t believe me, just look at history. Israel is quite simply a one word answer to anyone who doesn’t believe that there is a God. Come with me and let’s examine one of God’s greatest miracles – the Jewish people, and their home country of Israel. I ask only one thing from you, leave your preconceived prejudices and disbeliefs behind and examine this from a purely logical standpoint. Over the past 10 years two countries have dominated the headlines in worldwide media like no other. The country most often mentioned in...
