Could Tzipi Livni become Israel’s first woman PM since Golda Meir? Ehud Olmert, mired in corruption allegations, announced earlier this week that he would not contest September’s Kadima leadership primary. With a weak mandate to start with (just 29 seats and 22% of the vote in 2006), the Lebanon war, unpopularity to rival Gordon Brown’s, and [...]

Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir once famously stated that there is “no such thing as a Palestinian people.” Was she right? In what way can one judge the legitimacy of a claim to nationhood?

Take sides. I stand by the Bush Doctrine. And on a deeper level, either you are on the side of G-d or working for the devil. How can anyone stand by while Israel digs up the bodies of murderers as jiyza - extortion for five minutes of aggressive peace? Golda Meir is crying. What a grisly currency Islamic jihad has created in the traffic and trade of dead Jews. In my lifetime I would not think it possible...

Golda Meir is known to have quipped that "Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us."Apparently Golda didn't realize that it's not just the Arabs, it's the Muslims, and that they hate other infidels nearly as much as they hate the Jews. About 3,000 Islamist women gathered at the Red Mosque in the Pakistani capital on Wednesday and vowed to raise their children for...

Stephen M. Asbel American support weakens Israeli resolve If you take a step back and look at the past 40 years, one can make the case that the American policy of providing assistance to Israel has had the effect, if not the express intent, of weakening Israel's political resolve, Golda Meir refused to launch a preemptive strike for fear of angering Washington, making Israel more easily bend to the...

Jennifer Rubin: ... THESE OBAMA skeptics recall a similar time, 1973, when Israel also faced extermination. Prime minister Golda Meir had miscalculated Anwar Sadat's willingness to go to war and decided against a first strike against Egypt. The Arab nations attacked in October 1973, and within days Israel was facing defeat. The Israelis went to president Richard Nixon with a request for a massive infusion...

That's what the late Golda Meir would say to Ehud Olmert. Noam Shalit is translated as calling Olmert one with "unbelievable worthlessness". The Hebrew is שלומיאליות ללא תיאור and I would transcribe that as: "indescribable incapability"

On the first three days of the Taglit-Birthright trip I was in Jerusalem. I was obsorbing and ingesting the spectaculer sights and sounds of this magical city. On the third day we were brought to the Herzl museum where some of our most respected Israeli leaders and fighters are buried. Golda Meir, Yitzchak Rabin and many other notables are buried in the majestic facade of the museum/cemetary. Two graves...

Ari Folman's " Waltz with Bashir " premiered in Tel-Aviv this week. I attended the premier with much reluctance: I had a sinking feeling that I would be witnessing a filmmaker's rendition of Golda Meir's words: "We will never forgive the Palestinians for making us kill them." I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. The film documents the struggle of filmmaker Ari Folman to come to terms with the gaps...

Hillary Clinton speaking to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Wednesday: Let me leave you with just this glimpse of why America matters and why AIPAC matters.

I just read Nextbook' s account of the TV super-special ABC ran for Israel's 30th birthday, which included a live video conference between Barbra Streisand and Golda Meir. Golda Meir was a Ukrainian-born American woman who moved to Israel and eventually became its fourth prime minister at an advanced age. I had always assumed she must have really "Israelified" herself because she changed her name (formerly...
