Life

Hornik was born in New York City and grew up not far from Albany, NY. In 1984 he moved to Israel and has lived in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Beersheba. He served in the Israel Defense Forces, first in the artillery corps and later in Territorial Defense הגנה מרחבית.

Up to 2003 Hornik, a fiction writer, also occasionally published opinion articles in the Jerusalem Post and in American Jewish magazines such as Moment, Midstream, and others. Hornik also contributed numerous book reviews to the Jerusalem Post.

Since 2003 Hornik has written regularly for David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com and since 2008 for Pajamas Media as well. He has also written in recent years for the American Spectator, ynetnews.com, the Jerusalem Post, the Jewish Press, and IsraelNationalNews.com. Hornik is a conspicuous opponent of the mainstream view that Israel is engaged in an authentic peace process with the Arab side. Hornik maintains instead that the Arab (and larger Muslim) world has not accepted Israel, and Israel's approach should be based on deterrence and resolve rather than an illusory quest for acceptance. Hornik regards Israel’s environment as fundamentally hostile for deep-seated cultural reasons and highlights Israel’s smallness, vulnerability, and need to retain its remaining strategic assets.

Hornik's columns on FrontPageMag, PajamasMedia, and elsewhere have been reposted and discussed on other premier political sites such as Power Line^[1], Sean Hannity, and William Bennett.

The Israeli professor and columnist Steven Plaut has called Hornik "one of the best journalists in Israel and the Jewish world."^[2]

Israeli author Shalom Freedman has called Hornik "one of the finest political writers working today."^[3]

Hornik’s blog offers additional political commentary to his articles as well as links to important articles by other commentators.

Hornik’s work has been cited, reposted, and discussed at Rush Limbaugh's radio show and website, at Sean Hannity's website, at William Bennett's website, and at the important websites Power Line, Townhall.com, WorldNetDaily, AtlasShrugs, USAPartisan, FreeRepublic, LittleGreenFootballs, IsraPundit, and others. He has been interviewed on Crane Durham’s NothingButTruth radio show, the Zionist Organization of America's Middle East Report radio show, the Politics and Religion radio show of Endtime Ministries, and other talk-radio shows.
