Israel Stands Alone - Part 1

By now most people should know that on May 31 the Israeli Navy intercepted 6 ships carrying so-called "humanitarian aid" to Gaza.

Israel Be Strong and Courageous Against 3-D

Israel's enemies are in high gear in their 3-D approach to Demonize, apply Double standards and Delegitimize the Jewish state. The proximity talks which are supposed to eventually bring Israel and the Palestinian Authority together for face-to-face negotiations are moving along at a snail's pace. The PA is continually making false accusations against Israel while doing nothing to curb incitement.

Special Report - The Flotilla of Violence

It was only a matter of time and now the haters of Israel have the perfect excuse to demand harsh sanctions against the only democracy in the Middle East. Israel had warned the pro-Hamas ships not to go to Gaza with their aid but to go to the Israeli port of Ashdod where their cargo would be inspected and then directly sent to Gaza.

Zionism ........ It's a Beautiful Word

The origin of the term "Zionism" is the biblical word "Zion", often used in scripture as a synonym for both Jerusalem and the Land of Israel in its entirety. Zionism is an ideology which expresses the yearning of our Jewish people the world over for their historical homeland - Zion, the Land of Israel.

The Stakes Get Higher

The so-called proximity talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) are off to a crawl with the Obama administration warning both parties not to cause any incitement and thereby impede progress.

The Welfare Department invited 300 needy families, including Ethiopian and Haredi Ultra Orthodox Jews, to participate.

Ethical Journalism and Democracy

The first responsibility of the press is to use its freedom to protect the rights and liberties of all individuals. -Herbert Block, 1957

Denying the Obvious

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed to make a decision and all the facts pointed to an obvious answer, but for whatever reason you chose to do the opposite? Later, when you reaped the consequences of your wrongful choice you cried out in disbelief, "What in the world have I done?"

Clouds of war over the Middle East

While the king of Jordan, Abdullah, has warned lately of a war possibility in the Middle East this coming summer, and Egyptian President Mubarak expressed concern over an eruption of hostilities in the region, Syria was reported supplying the Hezbollah terror organization with Scud missiles.

Israel - An Extraordinary Miracle

If people today would pause for a moment to think rationally about Israel instead of paying attention to anti-Zionist media, they might gain a deeper appreciation for this tiny nation that just celebrated its 62nd birthday this past Tuesday.

Nuclear Iran and Scuds in Lebanon

The diplomatic crisis between Israel and the United States seemed to ease somewhat during April as both countries apparently appraised the potentially devastating consequences of a full breach in ties.

Helping Israel to Help Haiti

Our MJAA director in Israel Jo Kaplan said, "I'm excited that our Israeli office made a donation¹ to Natan's relief operation called 'Giving Hope to Haiti', to help Israeli volunteers help the survivors of last January's horrific earthquake."

Israel News Report

A new wave of Palestinian violence engulfed Jerusalem and surrounding areas during March, leaving several dead and many others wounded in its wake. Israeli officials and political analysts indicated that the American government was at least partly to blame for the renewed unrest, which broke out after US leaders issued harsh condemnations of Israeli home building in the small country's capital city.

Selective Amnesia - Let My People Build

The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 (S.1322), adopted October 24, 1995 by a margin of 93 to 5 in the U.S. Senate and 347 to 37 in the U.S. House of Representatives, states:

News from Israel - April 9

Last week our Jewish people gathered in homes throughout the world to celebrate the festival of Pesach (Passover) - the deliverance of our Jewish people from slavery in Egypt after God inflicted 10 punishing plagues upon Pharaoh and the Egyptians. While to some secular Jews this is just another one of those holidays where we proclaim, "They tried to kill us. We won. Let's eat," Passover demonstrates the Lord's mighty faithfulness to our Jewish people.

This Year in Jerusalem

As Jewish families in the Diaspora gathered to honor Passover, our celebration of freedom, they typically said a short prayer which has been proclaimed each year for several millenniums, from every corner of the globe - "next year in Jerusalem"!

Official Opening of Eilat Aid Center

Kibbutz Galuyot's doors are open! The MJAA's newest aid center Kibbutz Galuyot, also known as The Emmanuel Project in Eilat, has expanded our reach to the Negev Desert.

Kibbutz Galuyot/Real Life Aid Center

MJAA's newest aid center in Israel is almost ready to open its doors to the needy living in Eilat. It is called Kibbutz Galuyot/Real Life Aid Center; Kibbutz Galuyot is Hebrew for "the return of Jews from the four corners of the world to Israel". This is a perfect name for our new aid center because many of the needy people who will come to the center are recent immigrants who came to their homeland with little or nothing--precious Jewish people from Russia, the Ukraine, Ethiopia, and South America.

A Special Bar Mitzvah

Bar Mitzvah means Son of the Commandment - the "Commandment" is the Word of God.
