I met Kristine Luken posthumously. She and a mutual friend, Kay Wilson, were victims of a terrorist attack in Israel in 2010. Miraculously, Kay survived. Upon meeting Kristine’s twin sister Kathleen, I felt like I was meeting an old friend. Non-Israelis are not enveloped in the community as are other families of victims, nor are they remembered on Yom Hazikaron, Memorial Day, this week when Israel remembers nearly 24,000 soldiers and terror victims. Being outside Israel, families like Kristine’s are excluded. Not deliberately, just circumstantially. Mourning Alone“I’ve never met anyone who has lost a loved one to terrorism. I searched...

Whereas on the surface it is the terrorist group, Hamas, fighting the only Jewish nation, Israel,...

"Palestinian" Muslims' Special Crimes on Children (of both sides)   January 2008   GENOCIDE BOMBING   When the typical "Palestinian" suicide/genocide bomber at the Sbarro pizzeria programmed himself to be blown up exactly when the place is crowded with little children, toddlers, when the suicide/genocide bomber woman ate slowly in the Haifa restaurant, and carefully with cold blood (nothing of that "desperate" crap they have been telling you all along) positioned herself next to the table of kids, to perform her highest deed [as a (radical) Muslim woman] on earth in the 'holy-Islamic-Jihad' hellish "call", these examples are to teach us...

Cutting through Gaza City, near the beach, is a road called Market Street. It is lively, and run down. From a mosque loudspeaker, readings from the Koran hang in the air. Car horns blare, and horses snort and stamp as they wait for their carts to be loaded. It is typical Gaza.

However, the Knesset votes on Monday on Israeli Prime Minister Ariel...
