Jared Kushner's efforts to promote peace in Middle East are a dismal failure.

I urge my fellow Jews to send some 'benjamins' to Ilhan Omar’s reelection campaign. Through her unvarnished bigotry, she exposes the anti-Semitic double standard that undergirds the left’s foxlike attitude toward Israel.

Rep. Omar and BDS movement are latest signs that anti-Semitism is on the rise and needs to be properly castigated.

The charges brought against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are small potatoes, says Cal Thomas.

The number of hate groups in Maryland and across the country grew in 2018 to its highest level on record, the Southern Poverty Law Center reported Wednesday. In Maryland, new groups included four black nationalist groups, the Proud Boys and a mix of Ku Klux Klan, neo-nazi and white nationalists.

Why do we blame everyone for the Palestinian deaths and injuries except for the Palestinians? The Jewish state has survived countless wars, terrorism and the continuing anger of the Western media. It will also survive the Middle East.

Israel has acted honorably toward Palestinians, it's Hamas that should be blamed for deaths in Gaza.

Death of Gaza protesters may be remembered as a turning point for Israeli treatment of Palestinians.

The death of the protesters in Gaza is entirely the fault of Hamas leadership and their Iranian sponsors.

Now is the time for citizens of conscience to stand up for the rights of those killed in Gaza to ensure that their deaths will not have been in vain.

President Donald Trump has been proven right to have selected popular conservative then-Governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, to be United States Ambassador to the United Nations.

Once again I am confounded by a decision made by President Trump. Unfortunately this is becoming an all too frequent situation. For the life of me, I can’t figure out in what direction he wants to take our national foreign policy.

Trump's recognition of Jerusalem isn't damaging the peace process, Palestinian propaganda is.

Israelis call it their capital for the same reason they claim two plus two equals four. It's just true.

Moving the United States embassy to Jerusalem gives form to the truism that Jerusalem is, has been and always will be the capital of the Jewish state, much as it has never been the capital of any other. And that it will remain so in any final resolution of the conflict.

Trump's Jerusalem announcement won't advance the peace process - and he knows it.

The reactions in Maryland to President Donald J. Trump's announcement about Jerusalem were about as divided as those of the rest of the world.

Trump's actions on Jerusalem only hurt peace process and put millions of lives at risk.

The BDS movement is a propaganda tool being utilized by Israel's Arab neighbors to do what they haven't been able to accomplish through multiple wars of aggression.

The boycott is not discriminatory, it's a vibrant expression of freedom of speech.

The obvious goal is to scare people from participating in boycotts as a means of protesting Israeli oppression.

Gov. Larry Hogan said Monday all state contractors must promise not to boycott Israel, and those who won't will lose tax-payer deals.

Donald Trump's first presidential foreign trip has fortuitously given him a temporary respite from the firestorm generated by what he has called "that Russian thing" and his firing of former FBI Director James Comey.

President Trump called for the destruction of terrorists, but he talked of them as if they were foreign invaders to be driven out of the swamp, not products of it. Like the man who only has a hammer and therefore thinks every problem is a nail, Mr. Trump believes that the Middle East's problems can be solved with terrific "deals." The Saudis, eager to buy weapons and counter Iran, are all too eager to encourage this view. What alligator doesn't want sharper teeth?

Donald Trump's best shot at Middle East peace is to force Israel to make concessions to the Palestinians
