Comparing Kindergartens to Terrorism
On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, the US State Department Spokesman called on Israel the other day to refrain from building in Judea and Samaria and in the same breath called on the PA to stop paying the salaries of terrorists.

Terror at Home and Abroad
