Who Set The Fire And Why? by Moshe Feiglin →
“The Arab is not the son of the desert, but its progenitor,” said the first British commissioner of the Sinai, Sir Charles Darvis. Wherever the Arab goes, he brings the desert with him. Now he has brought the desert to the evergreen Carmel Mountains. Take Israel-hater Arab MK Azmi Bishara, for example. If his dream comes true and Israel is defeated, he will lose his fat salary...
Sudan and the Clash of Civilizations by Benny... →
Forget Osama bin Laden, forget the security fence between Gaza and Israel, forget—for a moment—the bomb-bound crazies in Iran. Sudan is the place to watch, probably the next combat zone in the ongoing clash of civilizations.
For decades the Christian and animist inhabitants of the southern half of Africa’s largest state (two and a half million square kilometers—roughly one hundred...
Useful Idiots and Fifth Columnists: The Media Role... →
Both western liberals and Islamists believe in utopias to which the Jews are an obstacle. The State of Israel is an obstacle to both the rule of Islam over the earth and a world where there are no divisions based on religion or creed. The Jews are an obstacle to the unconstrained individualism of western libertines and to the onslaught against individual human dignity and freedom by the...
Jews, Muslims, and Power by Dr. Farrukh Saleem →
There are 57 member-countries of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), and all of them put together have around 500 universities; one university for every three million Muslims. The United States has 5,758 universities (1 for every 57,000 Americans) and India has 8,407. In 2004, Shanghai Jiao Tong University compiled an ‘Academic Ranking of World Universities’, and...

The DNA Speaks By Alex Joffe →
The field of genetics has been offering up sensational new observations about the historical record of Jewish origins, exile, and migrations. On the men’s side of the aisle, one of the most dramatic discoveries is that both Ashkenazi and non-Ashkenazi kohanim—traditionally, descendants of the biblical high priest Aaron—share an extended haplotype or DNA sequence variation that does...
Bishop Tutu Is No Saint When it Comes To Jews by... →
Among the world’s most respected figures is South Africa’s Bishop Desmond. His recognizable face—with its ever present grin—has become a symbol of reconciliation and goodness. But it masks a long history of ugly hatred toward the Jewish people, the Jewish religion and the Jewish state. Bishop Desmond Tutu is no mere anti-Zionist (though Martin Luther King long ago recognized that...
Why the ‘Palestinians’ still suffer By Steven... →
“Women in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip have been facing a campaign of intimidation and terror that has forced many of them to sit at home and do nothing,” he writes. But that has not generated any campaign of outrage in the international community or among rights groups and advocates.
“Has anyone dared to ask Hamas why sending women to carry out suicide bombings is all...
Palestina: @ Megan →
Interesting dialogue here. Terror supporter attacks a supporter of Israel. Faced with easy refutations of all of her charges, terror supporter disappears. I’ve argued with Israel bashers, Jew haters who claim to love Jews but are only “anti-zionists”, and useful idiots who claim a moral equivalence between Islamic terrorists and Israelis who fight to defend their nation....
The Oral Historian of Israel’s Terror War by... →
MJT: Let’s talk about your title. Some potential readers might think comparing Israel’s victims of terrorism to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust is a bit much, not least because the scale is so different in size. I thought so myself at first, though that feeling went away by about page 8 or 9. Perhaps you could say something about it for those who haven’t read to page 8 or 9.

Two Californias by Victor Davis Hanson →
I think I know the answer to this paradox. Missing entirely in the above description is the attitude of the host, which by any historical standard can only be termed “indifferent.” California does not care whether one broke the law to arrive here or continues to break it by staying. It asks nothing of the illegal immigrant — no proficiency in English, no acquaintance with American ...
The unbearable lightness of Larry King By Jason... →
King: What do you think of the Israeli situation, the Palestinian .
Maher: This again, you know, I’m like the only guy on TV who defends Israel. The media is so biased.
King: You think they’re anti-Israel?
Maher: Of course they are. They don’t - because they don’t understand what happened in that area of the world throughout the last century. They’re ...
Maldivians: Israeli doctors 'harvest organs' by... →
The Republic of Maldives, an island nation in the Indian Ocean and the smallest Muslim country in the world, has been enraged in the past few days due to an Israeli delegation of eye surgeons who arrived to treat locals’ eyesight problems.
The Eye of Zion organization’s delegation was sent to the islands on behalf of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, who renewed diplomatic relations...

Christopher Hitchens’s Jewish Problem By Benjamin... →
The fact that Christopher Hitchens has a problem with the Jews has been an open secret for years. No one much likes to talk about it, and for various reasons his journalistic peers have remained silent on the subject. But it is nonetheless the case, and there is little sense in denying it.
The sixty-four-year-old Hitchens, a native of Great Britain and a recently naturalized U.S. citizen, is...
Finklers for Ground Zero By Marilyn Penn →
Howard Jacobson is the winner of this year’s Booker Prize for his satirical novel about British Jews who are ASHamed (Jacobson’s version) of Israel’s sins against humanity and form a group to protest, demonstrate, remonstrate, boycott and do whatever possible to undermine Israel and Zionists (alias Jews). Finkler is the Jewish character who founds and heads the group and the non-Jewish...
‘Kauft nicht bei Juden’ will worsen the conflict... →
Kauft nicht bei Juden – “Don’t buy from Jews” – is back. The call to boycott Jewish commerce is Europe’s oldest political appeal. Once again, as the tsunami of hate against Israel rolls out from the Right and the Left, from Islamist ideologues to Europe’s cultural elites, the demand is to punish the Jews. That the actions of the Israeli government are open to criticism is a fact. But what are...
Israel’s Critics Cry About Being Repressed … from... →
The truth is, despite promoting itself as the liberal alternative to AIPAC, a stance that ought to make it popular due to the fact that most Jews are liberals, J Street has little grassroots Jewish support. That’s because it has systematically taken stands on Israel’s right to self-defense and the nuclear threat from Iran that strike most Jews as being outside the pro-Israel consensus. But...

Humanitarian dilemmas are a recurring issue in the Judea and Samaria region. A terrorist fires at IDF soldiers, is shot and gets wounded. Is an IDF medic to be called to treat him? A building is about to collapse in the heart of Ramallah. Does the IDF enter? Does it jeopardize its soldiers’ lives, or does it call the International Red Cross and risk losing...
Israel Improves Gaza's Economy →
Israel has helped improve the Gaza economy by a significant measure over the past year despite continued rocket fire from the region’s terrorists aimed at Negev communities. According to a September report by the International Monetary Fund, the Gaza economy grew by 16 percent in the first half of 2010, a trend that was expected to continue in the second half of the year as well.

The UN’s Nobel cowardice is a disgrace By Nile... →
If further evidence is needed that the United Nations is a complete basket case in the arena of human rights, look no further than the world body’s decision to stay away from this Friday’s Nobel Prize ceremony in Oslo. The winner of this year’s peace prize is Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, who will not be allowed to travel to Norway by the authorities in Beijing. His family is also barred from...

Iran outraged as Star of David revealed on airport →
A satellite image of Tehran airport taken by Google Earth service outraged Iranian government officials as the Star of David appeared on the roof of the headquarters of the national carrier Iran Air. The Iranian became angry when local media reported Saturday the discovery of a Google Earth image that shows the Star of David on top of the main building of the Airline of the Islamic...
The WikiLeaks challenge By Caroline B. Glick →
The final irony of the WikiLeaks scandal is the cowardice of WikiLeaks that stands at the foundation of the story. Founded in 2006, Wikileaks was supposed to serve the cause of freedom. It claimed that it would defend dissidents in China, the former Soviet Union and other places where human rights remains an empty term. But then China made life difficult for WikiLeaks and so four years...
WIKILEAKS LEAVES ANTI-ISRAEL PUNDITS FUMING By... →
I and my fellow Neocons may have found little new in diplomatic cable confirming Arab fear of a nuclear Iran but leftist MSM ideologues sure did. FT award winning columnist, Gideon Rachman, writes:
For the moment, however, the only thing that made me raise even half an eyebrow was the suggestion that the Saudis and the other Gulf Arabs are pushing the Americans to bomb Iran. The Israelis...
The good news By Rachel Raskin-Zrihen →
The Red Cross is saying it’s taking seriously newly leaked U.S. diplomatic memos that say Iranian Red Crescent ambulances were used to smuggle weapons to Hezbollah militants during the terrorist group’s 2006 war with Israel.
Too bad Red Cross officials didn’t take it seriously when the Israelis reported the same behavior as it was happening. Unfortunately, those reports were dismissed out of...
Can Republicans Talk?, Part II By Thomas Sowell →
Guess who said the following: “It is incredible that a system of taxation which permits a man with an income of $1,000,000 a year to pay not one cent to his Government should remain unaltered.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt? Ted Kennedy? Nancy Pelosi?
Not even close. It was Andrew Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury under conservative Republican President Calvin Coolidge.
What was...
