The specter of Israel’s sequestration and boycott by the world is exaggerated, often purposefully so by the Israeli Left. This includes FM Yair Lapid, who this week warned that Israel had better open a diplomatic dialogue with the Palestinians, otherwise the threat of Israel being designated an “apartheid state” will grow severe.

What Dubai taught me about Israel

December 22, 2020

A Chanukah-week trip to Dubai taught me that Israel and Jews are admired when they are strong and believing.
