A largely failed attempt to place ads for a pro-Israel book in ten universities' student papers illustrates the double standard by which many students as well as faculty and administrators treat anti-Israel protestors, on one hand, and Israel supporters on the other. Every university approached recently by Seattle-based Discovery Institute on behalf of The Israel Test by George Gilder, a pro-Israel work published by Encounter Books, has experienced anti-Israel demonstrations. Some had riots. Yet most were treated by authorities with appeasement or even encouragement. Read More ›

The next battle in the Middle East may be played out in the skies above Iran. The outcome obviously is meant to help Israel, but may well assist Ukraine, too. If "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," Israel and Ukraine are friends already, and even quiet allies. Read More ›

George Gilder sat down with Bill Walton to discuss the new edition of his book The Israel Test. Gilder makes the case that Israel's accomplishments are worthy of our admiration, not our envy, that we are dependent on Israel for much of our technology, and that our support of Israel at this crucial moment in history is vital to the future of the West.

"The exploding pagers and radios of Hezbollah point not only to the tactical brilliance of Israeli technicians (who are likely responsible) but also to the largely unacknowledged value of Israel to our own defense." This is the view of Discovery Institute co-founder George Gilder, author of The Israel Test and increasingly a critic of current U.S. and European half-way measures in support of Israel. Read More ›

For eight decades after the end of World War Two, America's proudest title was "Leader of the Free World." Today, that title properly belongs to Israel both on grounds of practical leadership and grasp of what it means to be a free people. Read More ›

Allysia Finley of the Wall Street Journal does us all a favor in her column, “Our enemies are the CEO’s…Our comrades are in Gaza,” describing the labor Union SEIU units that are seeking to portray Israel’s vital and pathfinding economy as the product capitalism and colonialism. They get the historical facts wrong, she writes, quoting at length from George Gilder. Read More ›

Are you for civilization or barbarism, life or death, wealth or envy? Are you an exponent of excellence and accomplishment or of a leveling creed of troglodytic envy and hatred? That is the “Israel Test,” inescapable today. Read More ›

We started in Jerusalem, spent a day in Masada and the Dead Sea, spent the Sabbath in Tiberias and ended the trip in Tel Aviv. Read More ›
