Don’t blame Trump for Abbas rejecting peace
Some in the so-called peace camp prefer to blame Palestinian misbehavior on President Donald Trump rather than own up to the truth about Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

A law that allows hatemongers to pose as martyrs
Far from hurting the BDS movement, Israel’s new “blacklist” of boycott leaders banned from entering the country allows these enemies of the Jewish state to play martyrs and garner undeserved sympathy.

Why Trump’s Palestinian aid cut threat makes sense
You don’t have to be supporter of President Donald Trump to understand that he is right to demand that if the Palestinians want U.S. money they must, at the very least, come back to the negotiating table and cease funding and fomenting terror. It isn’t so much a case of “America First” to demand that recipients of U.S. largesse cooperate with U.S. policy, as it is one of common sense, writes JNS Editor in Chief Jonathan S. Tobin.

How Balfour explains why the peace process failed
The symbolism of Mahmoud Abbas' threatened lawsuit against Great Britain over the 100-year-old Balfour Declaration tells us what is preventing peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
