A legal battle lasting 22 years involving land purchased 74 years ago by the Jewish National Fund (JNF) ended this week when Israel’s Supreme Court ruled that JNF is indeed the rightful owner of the 522 dunam tract in Gush Etzion, Israel Hayom reported Wednesday. A three-judge panel rejected an appeal filed by Palestinians against the decision of the Jerusalem District Court, which likewise ruled that the JNF was the owner of the land. Kibbutz Ein Tzurim was established on the land, which was purchased in 1944, but the kibbutz was destroyed in 1948 and the Jordanians took control of

Support the Zionist Freedom Alliance (http://www.zfa.org.il/). Excerpted from INN: Over the last couple of years, the Zionist Freedom Alliance (http://www.zfa.org.il/) has been slowly taking American college campuses by storm with a message of Jewish rights not heard for many decades. Led by veteran IDF soldiers and activists in Israel, the ZFA presents Zionism to the youth as a revolutionary struggle for national liberation. Unlike most pro-Israel advocacy organizations that present Israel as a democracy or focus on the Jewish state’s willingness to surrender territory, ZFA speaks of Israel as a Middle Eastern nation with a legitimate moral and historic right

Deconstructing the mythology of palestinian land

On a daily basis, we hear assertions from pablum-eating pro-palestinian sheep that Israel is occupying palestinian land. This is, of course, propaganda of the first order, since there is no such thing as palestinian land. To use that phrase – palestinian land – is to promote a blatantly political anti-Israel agenda. The excellent article below, by Lawrence Auster, lays bare the historical facts of the matter: Israel has never taken land from the palestinians, and the palestinians have no legal claim to Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) or Gaza. We urge you, whenever you see unquestioning reports of “palestinian

If you are so sure that “Palestine, the country, goes back through most of recorded history”, I expect you to be able to answer a few basic questions about that country of Palestine: When was it founded and by whom? What were its borders? What was its capital? What were its major cities? What constituted the basis of its economy? What was its form of government? Can you name at least one Palestinian leader before Arafat? Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation? What was the language of
