Police arrested nine protestors, including seven agitators, while breaking up a pro-Palestinian encampment on Swarthmore College’s campus in an ugly scene Saturday — a “terribly difficult” decision the school’s president says was in part prompted by FBI scrutiny. One current and one former student of the private liberal arts school in the suburbs of Philadelphia were arrested, while the seven others were activists who were not affiliated with the college. “The promotion of the protest on social media drew the attention of law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, who urged us to bring the encampment to an end as quickly...

He reviewed the victories of the past two years in Afghanistan and Iraq, and assessed the war tasks ahead. Homeland security was prominent on the president’s agenda and its cornerstone was the Patriot Act, which Congress had passed in 2001 just after the World Trade Center attack. When the president came to the point in his address where he intended to ask legislators to renew the Act, there was an unscripted moment in...

Israel allowed more than 1,000 Jewish worshippers to enter Al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday, with groups of up to 180 entering the Islamic holy site - the largest number ever permitted by the authorities.They were seen entering the site, referred to as Temple Mount in Judaism, flanked by Israeli security services. The move marks a departure from Israel's previous policy of allowing no more than 30 Jewish Israelis at a time into the site, which was conquered by Israel in the 1967 war and is recognized as occupied territory internationally.Jewish worshippers gather at the Lions' Gate in Jerusalem as they attempt...

Well-meaning liberal Americans sympathize with the Arab-Palestinian cause because of the group’s determined, decades-long struggle against Israel’s superior military might. Recently, that favoritism among Democrats for the first time shifted to a majority who support the Palestinians over Israel. But if supporters of the Palestinians knew the whole truth, as the Palestinians tell it, they might reverse their sympathies. Indeed, when we listen to what the Palestinians say, and what they do, their underdog image is betrayed by belligerent goals, cruel methods and values anathema to Western civilization.

It was roughly halfway through the War in Gaza, and shortly before killing of Sinwar, that I found myself in Israel. I went there to “see for myself” as much as I could. I spent three weeks traipsing up and down that small stretch of land (Israel is about the size of Wales): from Acre to Eilat and Jerusalem to Gaza. My time in Israel is its own piece. The Israelis deserve their Ode and that will come in time. Instead, I will focus on a brief episode: my trip to Bethlehem. I knew that when I returned to Britain,...

Israel/Palestine to fight Hitler (though 1.5 million Jews did serve in the regular Allied militaries during World War II). The Jewish Army Plan (1941 - 1942) As Hitler’s army was conquering Europe and moved into North Africa, a movement began in the United States to create a Jewish army comprised of Jewish volunteers from Palestine, other Middle East countries, and stateless Jews driven from their homes, to fight the Nazis. Proponents suggested 100,000 Jews would fight because of “their hate for Hitlerism.” The Committee...

United Nations -- The Israeli military backtracked on its account of the killing of 15 Palestinian medics by its forces last month after phone video appeared to contradict its claims that their vehicles did not have emergency signals on when troops opened fire on them in the Gaza Strip. The military initially said it opened fire because the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” on nearby troops without headlights or emergency signals. An Israeli military official, speaking late Saturday on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said that account was “mistaken.” The footage shows the Red Crescent and Civil Defence teams...

As part of the series of tapestries by Peter Paul Rubens on the life of Constantine, we find a vignette from the early life of the first Christian Roman emperor showing him slaying a lion with an audience of Roman soldiers looking on. This is an odd anecdote from the life of Constantine and one that is not commonly known. Was it based on an actual event? Or was it one of those medieval interpolations meant to enhance the reputation of an ancient hero as a courageous and powerful hero? Let's take a look at the ancient sources. We know...

Tensions boiled over during a pro-Palestinian rally in the state Capitol Rotunda Tuesday after Reps. Stefani Lord, R-Sandia Park, and John Block, R-Alamogordo, were accused by attendees of antagonizing demonstrators.

Hundreds of Palestinians were killed Monday in a wave of strikes that were launched as part of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to break a ceasefire deal reached in January....
