Relatives and athletes joined in a memorial service Sunday for the 11 Israelis killed at the 1972 Munich Olympics, standing in a moment of silence, listening to songs and speeches and promising not to forget the victims. Amid extraordinary security and in cool, drizzly weather, 25 relatives of the athletes who were killed attended the […]

BUENOS AIRES – The Iranian government organized and carried out the bombing of a Jewish community center here eight years ago that killed 85 people, and then paid Argentina’s president at the time, Carlos Saul Menem, $10 million to cover it up, a witness in the case says in sealed testimony. A 100-page transcript of […]

For, happily, the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectual support. Thus, George Washington, our newly elected first president, states his strong support of […]

The proposed solution to the crisis in the Middle East is predicated on one notion: the return of the West Bank and all the other lands occupied by Israel after June 10, 1967.

Nationhood and Jerusalem Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two thousand years before the rise of Islam. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E. the Jews have had […]

Why did the trains run on time to Auschwitz and Treblinka? How did the Nazis calculate exactly how many Jews should be emptied out of the ghettos each day and dispatched to death camps? How did the Third Reich systematize the plunder of Polish natural resources? The world now knows that the Nazis tabulated it […]

Perhaps never since the days of the Holocaust have our people been confronted by such dangers as we are facing today. I know from whence I speak, for I am a survivor of Bergen Belsen. But there is one enormous difference between then and now. When I was deported to Bergen Belsen, there was no […]
