Finding Peace in the Promised Land - A New Path for Peace - JPost Book Review

'Finding Peace in the Promised Land': From the Israel Trail to a new path for peace - book review In a region long portrayed as a graveyard of peace plans, Author Aryeh Green refuses to accept despair as our inevitable destiny and trailblazes a way forward. By YAKIR FELDMAN - OCTOBER 4, 2026 Is peace in the Middle East even possible? Author Aryeh Green is passionately convinced that the answer is “Yes,” and in his latest book Finding Peace in the Promised Land , he lays out a bold and hopeful, yet deeply sensible and practical path forward, grounded in Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and universal values. When a veteran Muslim-Arab Israeli journalist like Khaled Abu Toameh calls a book “a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the Arab-Israeli conflict and the path for peace and coexistence,” it is worth paying attention. Green’s book earns that endorsement, as well as endorsements from others, including former ambassador Michael Oren, Middle East Forum President Daniel P...

This Waiting Game Must End: Hit Iran at a Time of Our Choosing, on Our Terms

[Published on Times of Israel  here  8 August '24] This Waiting Game Must End: Hit Iran at a Time of Our Choosing, on Our Terms The mood in Israel seems reminiscent of everything I’ve ever heard or read about May 1967.  (And not just in Israel but among Jews and other supporters of Israel around the globe.) We all know (hate that phrase but it fits here) that Israel’s 1967 opening military operation was and is the   paradigm of a legitimate pre-emptive defensive first strike   under the laws of war and the UN Charter, still taught in law schools (in the West, where it counts). Can anyone question that the same legitimacy applies now to a long-overdo attack on Iranian military installations, nuclear plants, and leadership – as ToI r eported  Israel is considering? Historical analogies only go so far, but… in this case there’s another element which is worth noting (which The Times of Israel leaves out in its article – David Horovitz take note?): Iran on April...

Israel: Welcome (& celebrate!) the recognition of the ‘State of Palestine’!

 [Published on Times of Israel here June 7 2024] Israel: Welcome (& celebrate!) the recognition of the “State of Palestine” The recent recognition of “Palestine” (without borders) by Ireland, Norway and Spain has engendered all sorts of criticism and scorn, not least by Israeli leaders, focused on how it seemingly rewards the Hamas massacre of October 7 th . There are two problems with that line of argument.  First, many counter: “Hamas doesn’t represent the Palestinians” (i.e. there are other leaders not tainted by the horrors of the Hamas attacks).  True or not – mostly not, as the PLO and Fatah, led by Mahmoud Abbas, are responsible for at least as many attacks, if not more, than Hamas – this counter-argument suggests that holding all Palestinians responsible for the Shabbat bloodbath of Oct. 7 th  is somehow an unfair form of collective punishment. Second, the reference to Oct. 7 th  doesn’t address the claims to independence of those Arabs who self-ide...
