Syria

Meet Israel's New Neighbors in Syria - Eyal Zisser (Israel Hayom) A significant number of the rebels in the Golan Heights area belong to the al-Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda affiliate, but alongside that group are a whole host of other armed militias.

Israeli Apartheid Week - The Facts (CAMERA)

Every year, extremists converge on campuses across the country. For a week or two, they strive to sow divisions, encourage prejudice, and incite hostility. They come as part of "Israeli Apartheid Week," a series of lectures, exhibits and events that single out Israel for fierce attack.

Apartheid Week is an affront to Palestinian and Israeli moderates who seek to reach peace through compromise and mutual recognition. It opposes equality and tolerance by seeking to do away with the Jewish people's right to self-determination. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said that Israel, which he described as "one of great outposts of democracy in the world", has an "incontestable" right to exist. Apartheid Week's push against King's truth can only impede the dream of peace and justice in the Middle East.
