Why Israel's Arabs Are Its Biggest Threat

Israeli decision-makers are consumed with the lethal threat posed by Iran and its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah, but a no less insidious threat has gone virtually unnoticed: the Israeli Arabs' growing rejection of Israel's Jewish nature and their systematic

Israelis are far too blind to this obvious reality. The influence of American liberalism in the name of (false) “Jewish values,” and Israeli leftism are both major factors for their inability to deal with the more general Arab threat and the direct threat posed by millions of citizens (with full rights) committed to the destruction of your country.

The Temple Mount: The Astonishing Israeli Concession of 1967

In a triumphant moment, Israel’s flag was hoisted over the newly conquered Temple Mount—then quickly taken down.

Moshe Dayan thought he was preventing bloodshed, and I am sure foremost on his mind was preventing Jewish bloodshed. But he made a mistake. You never surrender and inch of land to people who want to murder you. How much more so when you are talking about Judaism’s holiest place on earth? Ever since Israel relinquished control of the Temple Mount Arabs have used it as a propaganda tool. In fact their ability to do so has only expanded as they have conned large numbers of ignorant people into, against every bit of historical evidence, believing that Arabs in the region are a separate ethnic people called “Palestinian” who are the “real” indigenous people. Had the Israelis kept the Temple Mount, it would have sent the message to the world that ALL of Israel is Jewish, they aren’t afraid to proudly proclaim it, and that Arabs are welcome to live and pray anywhere in Israel, including the Dome of the Rock, ONLY if they accept the reality of the situation. Instead, now we have a “Jewish” state where Jews aren’t allowed to pray at the most revered place in our religion and in our history.
