STANDWITHUS DEPLORES ANTI-JEWISH DISCRIMINATION AT... →
“We deplore the blatant anti-Jewish discrimination that occurred at Rutgers University’s anti-Zionist event ‘Never Again for Anyone’ on Saturday night, January 30,” said StandWithUs CEO Roz Rothstein. “Apparently the organizers are afraid of anyone who might expose their lies and prejudice. We hope Rutgers University will investigate and take proper measures to ensure that such essentially...

Columbus of hidden Jews, by Itamar Eichner →
Freund, an American immigrant, has a mission: Locating remote and hidden Jews and descendants of the Jewish people.
He devotes all his efforts and resources to this project as founder and director of the Shavei Israel organization, which works to strengthen the connection between descendants of Jews and Israel and the Jewish people. According to assessments, he has put his own money into...

‘Palestine papers’ bring more embarrassment to... →
Reaction to a trove of secret documents from Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations was fast and furious Monday, as Palestinians sought to defend or attack their leaders amid allegations that they had offered serious concessions on key issues.
In Ramallah, the capital of the Palestinian Authority, a crowd rampaged against the office of Al-Jazeera, the Arab satellite-television channel that...

The State Against Blacks - An Interview with... →
“A historian writing 100 or 200 years from now might well say, ‘You know, there was this little historical curiosity that existed for maybe 200 years, where people were free from arbitrary abuse and control by government and where there was a large measure of respect for private property rights. But then it went back to the normal state of affairs.’”

Our Real Food Problem, By Blake Hurst →
We don’t have a food system problem, but a problem of self-control. We can’t solve that with quinoa or locally grown, free-range chicken.
“Divided We Eat,” a recent Newsweek cover story about class and income distinctions in our diet, may be the perfect example of what’s wrong with how we think about food. Written by Lisa Miller, the piece manages to accept every bit of the conventional...

Europe's Muslim Lobby by Soeren Kern →
Europeans often fantasize about America’s so-called Jewish lobby, which they claim has a chokehold over American finance, media and politics and is responsible for all manner of conspiratorial evil. But few Europeans like to talk about the growing influence of Europe’s Muslim lobby, a conglomeration of hundreds of Muslim political and religious organizations — many of which...

Cyber Victory in Iran: Nobel Peace Prize for... →
Three attacks on developing nuclear centers have occurred in the world, the most recent scant months ago. It is amazing that the year 2010, pegged universally as crunch time regarding Iran’s atomic ambitions, ended with such a whimper, not a bang. It was to be a year characterized ultimately by a crippling counter-blow to Teheran’s plans -with nary a peep from the media. No...

Tunisia's lessons for Washington By Caroline B.... →
The overthrow of Tunisian President Zine El Abedine Ben Ali last Friday is a watershed event in the Arab world. It is far too early to even venture a guess about how Tunisia will look a year from now. But it is not too early to understand that Ben Ali’s regime was not the only thing destroyed last Friday. The two main foundations of “expert” Western analysis of the Middle...

Reflections on Political Violence: When Mumtaz... →
Now look at the grinning face of Mumtaz Qadri, the man who last week destroyed a great human being. He did not explain. He boasted. As “a slave of the Prophet,” he had the natural right to murder Salman Taseer, the governor of Punjab, not even for committing “blasphemy” but for criticizing a law that forbade it for Muslims and non-Muslims alike. And this sweeping new ...
ANTI-SEMITES? WHO, US? by Steven Plaut →
We have nothing against Jews as such. We just hate Zionism and Zionists. We think Israel does not have a right to exist. But that does not mean we have anything against Jews as such. Heavens to Mergatroyd. Marx Forbid. We are humanists. Progressives. Peace lovers. Anti-Semitism is the hatred of Jews. Anti-Zionism is opposition to Zionism and Israeli policies. The two have nothing to do with...

Racial Component to Conflict in Sudan: “To Them, a... →
The enslaved–Christians and animists, or practitioners of tribal religions–were captured and enslaved by Northerners. A racial component to the conflict led some Northerners, Muslims who consider themselves Semites rather than blacks, to enslave darker-skinned black Africans. The capture of human beings into slavery occurred during the war years, and also during Sudan’s first civil war,...
Top Ten Anti-Israel Lies →
When Israeli leftists turn against their country... →
On Sunday December 19, the self-proclaimed “Israeli human rights” group B’tselem disseminated a shocking story to the local and international media. B’tselem claimed that the previous day Palestinian shepherd Samir Bani Fadel was peacefully herding his sheep when he was set upon by a mob of Israeli settlers. He alleged that these kippah-clad Israelis drove up in a car...
Heroic Journalism in Lebanon? Ex-Envoy Disagrees →
To the Editor:
As ambassador to Lebanon from 2004 to 2008, I was the person whom Al Akhbar’s editorial chairman, Ibrahim al-Amine, hoped to upset every morning with his newspaper’s coverage (“A Rarity in the Region, a Lebanese Paper Dares to Provoke,” news article, Dec. 29).
Mr. Amine did get my attention, but not in the way he intended. The hilariously erroneous accounts of my activities...
Wikileaks on Gaza Shows Israeli Policy and Why It... →
So far, every single Wikileaks document—released by people who hate Israel (at least one of the Wikileaks staffer being a known extremist antisemitic nut)—has made Israel look good and has proven that its analysis of regional politics has been correct.
Dependence Day by Mark Steyn →
What happens when, as a matter of state policy, you debauch your human capital? The United Kingdom has the highest drug use in Europe, the highest incidence of sexually transmitted disease, the highest number of single mothers; marriage is all but defunct, except for toffs, upscale gays, and Muslims. For Americans, the quickest way to understand modern Britain is to look at what lbj’s Great...
Saving the world, one airstrike at a time By... →
Had Syria succeeded in completing and bringing a nuclear reactor online, available not just to the Syrians but also to their overlord and benefactor, Iran, right on Israel’s border, the consequences to Israel, the region and the world, would have been unthinkable.
For at least the second time in only about 30 years, Israel has essentially saved the world.
Will she get a public thank you?

"How Can You Defend Israel?" Part II, by David... →
Since writing “How can you defend Israel?” last month, I’ve been deluged by comments.
Some have been supportive, others harshly critical. The latter warrant closer examination.
The harsh criticism falls into two basic categories.
One is over the top.
It ranges from denying Israel’s very right to nationhood, to ascribing to Israel responsibility for every global...
