    Why we are optimistic about Zionism

    http://atimes.com/2016/04/why-we-are-optimistic-about-zionism/

    In the face of protracted violence and hostility, Israel’s response has historically been more prosperity and more freedom. It is a global leader in medicine, technology, and innovation—with the most start-ups outside Silicon Valley — and among the freest and happiest countries in the world.

    Brussels Terrorist Attacks: Another Chapter of this War

    We are amid a turning moment in our history. The moment to repeat the mistakes of the past or the moment to tackle all these challenges and overcome them. It is up to us.


    The Brussels terrorist attacks are another chapter in a war that we have to win. It is in our hands.

    Britain must back its ally over Yemen conflict

    Iran’s active involvement in the country has been overstated. But Houthi success would provide the ayatollahs with strategic opportunities to boost their imperial aggression in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, which represents an increasing danger that must be contained.

  • An Exemplary Man

    The Friends of Israel Initiative mourns the passing of Lord George Weidenfeld of Chelsea, one of our Founding Members

    An Exemplary Man

    Lord Weidenfeld was one of those few men who write the history. He was very involved in the highest causes of our times and was an exceptional witness of all the moments that have configured our current world. He moreover taught all of us also an universal lesson for success and greatness: never give up.
