A Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court judge ruled that Shouting “Allahu akbar” – Arabic for “God is greater” at non-Muslims on the Temple Mount constitutes a disturbance of the peace. From experience it is known that shouting the chant other than in times of prayer is often used during riots and usually accompanies violence and terrorism. This was the summary of the ruling of the Jerusalem magistrate when he declared that yelling “Allahu akbar” at non-Muslims on the Temple Mount is now illegal. The ruling came at the end of a five-year-old case involving Sahar Ghazzawi, an Arab detained by police after…

Foreign capital flow to Israeli assets hit a record high of $285.12 billion last year, nearly triple of what this figure was in 2005, Bloomberg News reported last week. And while the Israeli economy has been slowing as of late, it is still performing better than that of the United States and other Western nations. Israeli companies, especially high-tech startups, have also become very attractive targets for foreign investors. The Bloomberg report is consistent with an analysis written for The Wall Street Journal two years ago by David Rosenberg, economic editor of the Israeli daily Haaretz. The true story is…

Palestinian Arab gunmen opened fire on a family vehicle near Hebron on Friday, killing an Israeli man and wounding his wife and two teenage children. The terrorists attacked from a passing vehicle, causing the victims’ car to flip over. The mother remains in serious condition with gunshot wounds to the head. A day earlier, a Palestinian Arab stabbed two Israelis in the coastal town of Netanya. One of the victims, 62-year-old Luba Gadimov, was leaving the hairdresser after getting ready for her daughters wedding when the attack occurred. She suffered light injuries. The second victim, an Israeli man in his…

“My son is a hero. He made me proud. My son died as a Martyr defending Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. …Allah willing, all of them will follow this path, all the youth of Palestine. Allah be praised.” Those were the words of Mohammed Taraireh’s mother to Palestinian media hours after he butchered a 13-year-old Israeli girl, Hallel Yaffe Ariel (pictured). Mohammed was shot and killed by security officials responding to Hallel’s screams. While Mrs. Taraireh proudly owned her son’s savagery, official Palestinian Authority media suggested the attack might not have taken place, and that Israeli forces killed Mohammed for…

Israel’s near total lack of authority over Judaism’s holiest site – Jerusalem’s Temple Mount – was again on display this week when Muslims rioted and the Israeli authorities capitulated by barring Jewish visitors. Jerusalem police officials on Tuesday announced a full three-day ban on Jewish visitation to the Temple Mount after Muslim worshippers repeatedly attacked non-Muslim visitors the two days preceding. The Muslim agitators, most of them young men and youth, barricaded themselves in the Al Aqsa Mosque and from there hurled stones and firecrackers at the Jewish visitors. Israeli police used tear gas in an effort to quell the…

Last week Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas told the European Union Parliament that rabbis were instructing Jews to poison Palestinian water supplies. Abbas now admits what any reasonable person already knew – that he lied. In apparently unscripted remarks to European leaders, Abbas screeched that “a number of rabbis in Israel announced, and made a clear announcement, demanding that their government poison the water to kill the Palestinians.” He called it a “clear incitement to commit mass killings against the Palestinian people.” His tirade won Abbas a standing ovation from the EU parliamentarians. Of course, there was absolutely zero evidence that…

Israeli Minister of Transportation Israel Katz (Likud) this week presented to foreign media outlets his ambitious plan to create an artificial island just off the coast of the Gaza Strip to provide the area’s residents with a modern airport and seaport. Katz noted that the project would significantly ease the difficult economic situation in which Gaza finds itself without harming Israel’s security. Predictably, the Palestinians themselves protested the plan, insisting it was an Israeli scheme to drive a further wedge between Gaza and the so-called “West Bank.” If implemented, the plan would see the construction of an artificial island eight…

During a campaign interview this week, presumptive Republican candidate for the US presidency, Donald Trump, used Israel as an example of the kind of racial and religious security profiling he feels is necessary to keep America safe. “I think profiling is something that we’re going to have to start thinking about as a country,” the real estate mogul said. “Other countries do it, you look at Israel and you look at others, they do it and they do it successfully. And I hate the concept of profiling, but we have to start using common sense and we have to use…
