Israel’s destruction of Hezbollah’s drug empire could not be timelier or less controversial. An employee of the public prosecutor's office, the Department of Criminal Evidence, looks at illegal drugs, which are to be set on fire, in Sanaa February 29, 2012. (photo credit: REUTERS/MOHAMED AL-SAYAGHI) Back in 1997, at the height of Hezbollah’s relentless campaign to drive the IDF out of Israel’s security zone in southern Lebanon, I made an out-of-the-box suggestion. Along with attacking the terrorists head-on, I gave an opinion in The Jerusalem Post that Israel should strike at one of their principal sources of funding – drugs....

Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), one of the most prominent pro-Israel politicians in America, accepted the endorsement of several Arab American leaders for former President Donald Trump in New York City on Thursday. Zeldin, who is Jewish, accepted the endorsement on behalf of Trump himself, who is campaigning in the swing states ahead of Tuesday’s election. The scene was almost surreal: Zeldin, one of the most prominent Zionists on Capitol Hill, standing shoulder to shoulder with Arab and Muslim leaders who may have rather different views on Israel. But the Trump campaign appears to be pulling off one of the...

Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), one of the most prominent pro-Israel politicians in America, accepted the endorsement of several Arab American leaders for former President Donald Trump in New York City on Thursday. * * * But the Trump campaign appears to be pulling off one of the most remarkable political feats in recent memory: uniting pro-Israel conservatives with Arab and Muslim voters around a shared belief that only Trump can bring peace to the Middle East. They may believe that for different reasons. Jews and evangelical Christians, citing Trump’s outstanding record on Israel in his first term, believe that...

GREENSBURG, Pa. – Former President Bill Clinton claimed Tuesday that Israeli leaders “don’t care anymore” about peace between the Jewish State and Palestinians and said Vice President Kamala Harris “can’t have” a plan to end the war in the Middle East. Clinton, 78, was stumping for Harris in western Pennsylvania at the University of Pittsburg-Greensburg when a pro-Palestinian protester interrupted his remarks, demanding an answer from him on what the vice president would do to stop “the genocide” in Gaza and end US military support for Israel. “That’s a fair question,” the 42nd president responded, before telling a 15-minute-long story...

Nature might abhor a vacuum, but empires love them. The busy empire-builders in Tehran have spent the last two decades extending their reach into power vacuums in Iraq and Syria as part of their attempt to recreate at least part of the old Persian Empire that once covered almost the entire Middle East. Funding the Houthi rebels in Yemen keeps the Saudis conveniently distracted, too, as well as giving Tehran a way to attack the shipping that Western economies rely upon. Hamas and Hezbollah in Gaza and Lebanon respectively are Iran's imperial outposts even further west — and the Arab...
