International Women’s Day, which was celebrated around the world this week, is not exactly the Palestinian Authority’s favorite holiday, given its longstanding policy of treating women as third-class citizens.

Two Israelis were brutally attacked Sunday afternoon outside the Augustine restaurant in San Jose. Daniel and Lior, who asked to be identified by their first names only, spoke with the Journal about the assault, which left them with injuries to their heads, backs and stomachs.

In late 1940, Nazi occupiers confined over 400,000 Warsaw Jews in a sealed ghetto, creating horrendous overcrowding, starvation, and disease. Tens of thousands died inside even before the mass deportations began. In the summer of 1942, the Nazis began the final “liquidation” of the ghetto under the guise of deportation to “labor camps.” Over 260,000 […]

An Islamist regime that terrorized the world and brutalized its own people is on its last legs—with those legs now nearly dismembered.

“I’m scared,” the person types. “I can’t sleep. My whole body is shaking.” There was a siren earlier. It’s quiet now, but the fear hasn’t left. It is early evening in Los Angeles, before dinner, when the day has not quite ended yet. But across the ocean in Israel, it is already the deepest part […]

“If you are looking for a black–and-white narrative, you might want to take up checkers,” Thomas Friedman wrote this week in The New York Times. He was referring to the Middle East in general, which he called “a complicated, kaleidoscopic region where religion, oil, tribal politics and great power politics interweave in every major story.” […]

The fourth episode of the Israel Bonds-sponsored ILTV’s digital series, “One-on-One,” brought one of the most urgent and unapologetic voices in Jewish advocacy to the forefront: Emily Austin, a sports journalist, model, entrepreneur, and social media influencer with over three million followers who has made it her mission to be loudly, proudly, and uncompromisingly Jewish.
