Despite the headlines about pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses, in cities around the world and on the Arab street, there has not been a single rally that is actually pro-Palestinian. All have been anti-Israel, pro-Hamas, pro-terrorism and often antisemitic. None has called for a two-state solution. Instead, attendees have chanted about eliminating Jews “from the river to the sea” — which is all of Israel. The most anti-Palestinian entity in the world is Hamas. It has killed and exiled elected officials from the Palestinian Authority. It has stolen food, fuel and medical supplies from the Palestinian people. It has used...

The Rockefeller Brothers Fund touts its commitment to advancing "social change that contributes to a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world." It also bankrolls an Israeli-designated Palestinian terror group and has given millions more to groups that fund Hamas or have justified the terrorist group’s attacks against Israel.

A joint Arab-Jewish protest against the war took place in Haifa Tuesday. Hearing about it on television and the radio, outraged residents left their bomb shelters to hold a stormy counter-protest. Amit, one of the anti-war protestors, told Israel National Radio Correspondent Aaron Fox that he was participating in the protest in order to demand that Israel comply with Hizbullah and Hamas demands. “Our position is to stop the bombing and start negotiations,” he said. “Israel should release the [Arab terrorist] prisoners and the Lebanese and hopefully the Israeli soldiers will be released. Then there can be negotiations about the...

NEW YORK -- The American Civil Liberties Union accused the government Friday of putting another legal roadblock in the way of its bid to allow the public to see photographs and videos stemming from the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal. The ACLU said sealed documents the government filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan will be used to argue that dozens of photographs cannot be released because they would result in a safety threat to individuals. "We obviously express skepticism about the latest move on the government's part to withhold information the public is clearly entitled to," said Amrit Singh,...

MAYOR Ken Livingstone faced calls to quit last night after trying to justify suicide bombings. He said: “Given that the Palestinians don’t have jet fighters and don’t have tanks, they only have their bodies to use as weapons. “In that unfair balance, that is what people use.” Last night Lord Janner of the World Jewish Congress said: “His sad attempt to justify Middle Eastern suicide bombers is a betrayal of the hundreds of innocent people who suffered from this terrorist barbarism in London.” The Board of Deputies of British Jews added: “It is absurd he should parrot this apology...

When are we Americans going to wise up? How many times does the French government, led by Jacques Chirac (search), have to put all of us in danger before we get the picture? France is helping worldwide terrorism. Here's the latest. France has said no to Secretary of State Rice, who asked the Chirac government to designate Hezbollah (search) as a terrorist group. If France would do that, Hezbollah could not raise money in Europe, which it is now doing through various charitable fronts. There is no question Hezbollah is a terrorist group. It was responsible for killing more than...

LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) - Britain and France clashed on Monday over whether the European Union should blacklist the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which is resisting pressure to accept a cease-fire with Israel. British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw pressed his EU colleagues at a meeting in Luxembourg to outlaw Hamas' political wing, but French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin was adamant it remained a necessary player in the peace process. The military wing of Hamas, responsible for many suicide attacks on Israel since the 2000 launch of an uprising against occupation of Palestinian territories, is already on the EU's list of banned...
