A tweet I made yesterday seems to have resonated with a lot of people:
Actually, I think Birthright SHOULD go to Hebron, to Shuhada Street, and explain exactly why things are as they are - the snipers who used to shoot at Jews with impunity, the Jewish rights to our second holiest city, the 1929 pogrom, the sacrifices Jews make to live there.
Apparently, people understand that even Birthright, as great as it is, often does not directly answer the questions that attendees might have.
Nearly six years ago I gave a lecture at Yeshiva University on how to answer anti-Israel arguments. Since the lecture was over an hour and twenty minutes, I decided to break it up into 20 sections, one each to answer one popular anti-Israel argument.

We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For 20 years and 40,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
