How many Hitlers are there in the world (Zionists need to know now)?

The land of Israel and Palestine is all ours, Jerusalem Post writer Michael Freund argues. Why? Well, he’s given us the best reason imaginable; the dude in the sky: Israel should move ahead with steps to formally and legally incorporate all of the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria into the Jewish state.

Jewish friends of radical settlers must stick together
Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick dislikes anybody who doesn’t love everything about Israel (especially the settlers and the occupation).
