Blaring sirens warn students of more rockets from... →
Sirens blare in my head. Realizing this is not a drill, I jump out of bed and dash to the closest bomb shelter. Within seconds, the room fills with American, Canadian and Israeli students, all here in fear for their lives. Boom one, that was close … boom two, that was closer … wait for it … boom three. I hope no one was hurt. This is when the phones began to ring. Listening to hysterical...

African Refugees Choose to be in Israel, by Aron... →
Several years ago, a trend started of African refugees crossing the Egyptian border from Sinai into Israel to seek asylum from the atrocities in Darfur. What started out as a small number of men, women and children fleeing from the machetes of the Janjaweed and violent fundamentalists toseek a better life elsewhere, turned into an organized industry of human trafficking. In return for huge sums of...

The Palestinian Human Rights Nightmare, by P.... →
The notion that Israel is victimizing the Palestinians is one of the cardinal—perhaps the cardinal—paradigms of international politics since the 1967 Six-Day War. Not only the left, both in Israel and abroad, subscribes to it, but also a large part of the U.S. foreign policy establishment, and just about all of official Europe. It goes without saying that the paradigm is regnant in the Arab and...

Contentions Militias Out of Control in Libya, by... →
Al-Qaeda-linked militias are functionally in control of key parts of Libya, and have been for many months. Senior Libyan officers admit they “have no control over these men, they are too dangerous, they have more weapons.” Past attempts to reign in militia-linked criminals triggered raids on police stations, with the buildings overrun and the arrested militia members freed.

Muslim guide on how to beat you wife now in... →
AL ARABIYA
A local bookstore in Canada has sold all its copies of “A Gift for Muslim Couple,” a Muslim marriage guide that advises men on how to beat and control their wives, a newspaper reported on Friday.
The 160-page book, published by Idara Impex in New Delhi, India, is written by Hazrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi, who is described in the book’s foreword as a “prolific writer on almost every...

The Left’s Appalling Silence on Global Savagery... →
An overfed, wealthy, rich, white, older, conservative male makes for a convenient face of sexism for the Gloria Allreds and Jane Fondas of the world. But for most women of the world, sexism manifests itself as something far worse than unwelcome, ungentlemanly comments directed their way. Obsessing over name-calling trivializes sexism as a matter of mere words. In truly patriarchal societies,...

FARRAKHAN'S SECRET RELATIONSHIP, by Charles Jacobs →
At a press conference in Washington, D.C. in 1996, Farrakhan was asked about reports of slavery in Sudan. According to the New York Times, he challenged them: “If slavery exists, go … to Sudan, and come back and tell the American people what you found.” The Baltimore Sun sent two reporters to Sudan. They found and liberated slaves and published a special four-page insert in the paper’s weekend...

A Jew-free Europe, by Phillip Pasmanick →
The Jews of Europe are once again in grave danger, while anti-Semitism has become the common currency of politics in many European countries.
Seventy years after the Holocaust, a pogrom took place in Toulouse, one of the most pleasant French cities. An Israeli rabbi and three Jewish children were executed during a killing spree. Four Jews “returned” to Israelin a coffin.
The question we face...

Lather, Rinse, and Repeat, by Mark Steyn →
The killer of French schoolchildren and soldiers turns out to be a man called Mohammed Merah. The story can now proceed according to time-honored tradition:
Stage One: The strange compulsion to assure us that the killer is a “right wing conservative extremist,” in the words of NRO commenter ExpatAsia, echoed by Chrisman and Galt’s Bain. Up north, this view was shared by Canada’s most...

Mohamad Merah, Man of the West, by Caroline B.... →
The massacre of Jewish children at Oztar HaTorah Jewish Day School in Toulouse presents us with an appalling encapsulation of the depraved nature of our times - although at first glance, the opposite seems to be the case.
On the surface, the situation was cut and dry. A murderer drove up to a Jewish school and executed three children and a teacher. Led by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, all of...

Muslim anti-Semitism, Israel and the dynamics of... →
Of course such an attitude has to ignore the fact that the Israelis do a fraction of the violence to Palestinians that Arab leaders do towards their own people with far less provocation. To “grant” the Palestinians and other Muslims “permission” to hate the Jews “given what Israel does to them,” reveals unthinking racism: “I don’t really expect anything remotely rational or balanced from these...

J Street Rolls Out the Red Carpet for BDS, by Omri... →
These posts, about J Street conference speakers who advocate anti-Israel boycotts and sanctions, are becoming an annual tradition. Last year the ostensibly pro-Israel group hosted BDS advocates from fringe left-wing Jewish groups, raising questions as to why J Street’s commitment to “expanding the debate” over Israel only seems to involve stretching the spectrum to include the anti-Israel side.

Israeli leftist activists: We are being sexually... →
Two weeks ago, another activist anonymously wrote on the website haokets.org about an incident of sexual assault she had experienced, this time by an Israeli activist. “I was sexually assaulted last summer by an Israeli leftist activist. The assailant met, and still meets, all the right criteria: post-colonialist, post-Zionist, anti-capitalist, etc. And most relevantly, he considers himself a...

Combating the Hate Groups on Campus, by Mark... →
To counter the hate, disinformation and propaganda generated during Israeli Apartheid Week (what should more honestly be called Israeli Demonization Week) at universities across the United States, the David Horowitz Freedom Center (DHFC) is arming pro-Israel and pro-freedom student leaders on campus with the truth, in the form of its newspaper ads, pamphlets, film screenings, and speakers such as...

Blasphemy and Free Speech, by PAUL MARSHALL →
Many in our media claim to be self-censoring out of sensitivity to religious feelings, but that claim is repeatedly undercut by their willingness to mock and criticize religions other than Islam. As British comedian Ben Elton observed: “The BBC will let vicar gags pass, but they would not let imam gags pass. They might pretend that it’s, you know, something to do with their moral sensibilities,...

Krugman then tells us that “… consumer prices rose only 1.2 percent in 2010….” But then, the piece de resistance: “The Fed’s preferred measure, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was up only 0.7 percent …” It must surely not have escaped the notice of thinking people anywhere that the FED’s “preferred measure” of inflation...

15 Real Photos of Arab Girls →
As southern Israel is being pounded with hundreds of rockets launched
by terrorists in Gaza, the world is silent.
A few anti-Israel photos have been circulating for years.
The photo of a man holding a dead girl,
tweeted by a UN media employee that received so much attention,
is the same photo that I saw in 2008 under the caption,
“Israelis kill a lot of Arab children.”
This was the Google...

The victim, identified by Belgian media as Abdallah Dadou, a father of four, died while attempting to extinguish the blaze, which was set late Monday night at the mosque in the Brussels suburb of Anderlect. Earlier a man who identified himself as a Muslim had approached the building carrying an axe, a knife and flammable liquid that he spread in the mosque, setting fire to it, officials said. The...

The Big Hoax, by Thomas Sowell →
Wherever we want to go, we can only get there from where we are. Not where we think we are, or wish we are, or where we want others to think we are, but where we are in fact right now.
But political spin and pious euphemisms don’t tell us where we are. After a while, such rhetorical exercises don’t even fool others.

Top Tweet on Gaza Proven False, IDF →
Two photos tweeted in the past 24 hours, both allegedly depicting the results of Israeli air strikes in Gaza in recent days, have been proven false.
1. The photo first tweeted by Khulood Badawi (@KhuloodBadawi) and later by Diana Alzeer (@ManaraRam), allegedly depicting a Palestinian girl killed by an Israeli air strike yesterday, was proven to have originated in 2006 and to have had nothing at...

“When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You’re talking anti-Semitism!” —Martin Luther King, Jr.
Aptly quoting Martin Luther King, Jr. is a common way to make a point or win an argument, and it’s no surprise that his new memorial in Washington includes an “Inscription Wall” of quotes carved in stone. It’s also no surprise that the quote about critics of Zionists didn’t make the cut for...

Nicky Larkin: Israel is a refuge, but a refuge... →
I used to hate Israel. I used to think the Left was always right. Not any more. Now I loathe Palestinian terrorists. Now I see why Israel has to be hard. Now I see the Left can be Right — as in right-wing. So why did I change my mind so completely?
Strangely, it began with my anger at Israel’s incursion into Gaza in December 2008 which left over 1,200 Palestinians dead, compared to...

The Anti-Islamist Muslim Voice, by Phyllis Chesler →
Mention terrorism and Islam in the same breath and instant accusations of “Islamophobia” and “racism” are sure to follow.
Ever since 9/11, when 19 Arab-Muslims hijacked four airplanes in the name of Islam and murdered 3,000 civilians in New York and Washington, D.C., Americans have been told that Muslims are really the victims and that we must consult with Muslim groups...

Israel and the Plight of Mideast Christians, by... →
Since the Hamas takeover of Gaza in 2007, half the Christian community has fled. Christmas decorations and public displays of crucifixes are forbidden. In a December 2010 broadcast, Hamas officials exhorted Muslims to slaughter their Christian neighbors. Rami Ayad, owner of Gaza’s only Christian bookstore, was murdered, his store reduced to ash. This is the same Hamas with which the...

‘One State’ — for suckers ‘Solution’ stymies... →
So why would anyone promote a one-state solution when majorities both in Israel and among Palestinians seek a two-state one?
Because the OSS is not a solution at all: It’s a cover for a hidden agenda to deny Israel’s right to exist and the Palestinians’ right to a state of their own.
The OSS is the political version of a suicide attack — and, as in a suicide attack, those who promote it are...

The War on Conservative Women, by Michelle Malkin →
Some of us have not forgotten when liberal Wisconsin radio host John “Sly” Sylvester outrageously accused GOP Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch of performing “fellatio on all the talk-show hosts in Milwaukee” and sneered that she had “pulled a train” (a crude phrase for gang sex). (Earlier, he called former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice a “black...

Why Don’t Jews Like the Christians Who Like Them?... →
In the United States, the two groups that most ardently support Israel are Jews and evangelical and fundamentalist Christians. Jewish support is easy to explain, but why should certain Christians, most of them politically quite conservative, be so devoted to Israel? There is a second puzzle: despite their support for a Jewish state, evangelical and fundamentalist Christians are disliked by many...

Man of Reason - James Q. Wilson’s thinking about... →
In the 1970s, Wilson was one of lone-wolf researchers who studied actual police behavior—above all looking at the all-important problem of how police do and should use their discretion. His 1975 book, Thinking About Crime, rated by criminologists as one of the two most influential books to come out of their profession, argued that criminals make a rational choice to commit crime, based on an...
Anonymous asked: my point is, if you have something against people of a certain faith, don't post something bad about their religion. Yes, there are many bad people in the Muslim faith, as there are in the Jewish or Christian faith. Why are you posting things that are against these religions. No religion teaches a person to be bad. Yes, there are many misunderstandings in religions, but don't blame the...

The Psychology of Jews Who Embrace Their Enemies
Interview Series: Psychiatrist-author Kenneth Levin: “Those of the Jewish community who live and work in environments hostile to Israel, commonly embrace the anti-Israel bias around them. And they often insist they are being virtuous by doing so.”

Anonymous asked: 9/11 attacks, how many people were killed in the 9/11 attacks? 2,996 people, with 6000 injuries. In total, there are 19,629 deaths in Afghanistan and 48,644 injuries. Why were they killed ? because of war, war that America started. 2,996 is such an insignificant number compared to 19,629. So while you're de grading other religions, why don't you de grade your faith too? My point is, no...
Anonymous asked: what do you get when you post these pics/posts de grading certain religions? Every religion has people that are bad, but why only show them? do you not see all the good people in those religions? Honestly your such a disgusting human being, that I think you shouldn't even be called a human. grow some brains. nobody is perfect.

The real racism: Expecting Jews to die meekly, by... →
While the Jewish state faces unparalleled threats, and unconditional enmity, it is continually condemned for acting to meet those threats and to contend with that enmity — no matter what measures it adopts, no matter how grave the peril, no matter how severe the provocation. This then is the real racism that permeates the discourse on the Israel-Palestinian conflict: • The expectation that the...

Prominent PLO spokeswoman Hanan Ashrawi is demanding that the international community declare Israel an “Apartheid State.” Her demand was included in a statement she published in Ramallah this week: she accused Israel of incitement against Arabs and of violating international laws.
How come she never mentions the incitement of Palestinians against Israelis in the Palestinian...

When the World Did Nothing, Posted by David... →
During his 2009 trip, President Obama visited the site of the Nazi concentration camp at Buchenwald. Over 56,000 civilians and prisoners of war were murdered there. The president declared that no one should deny the Holocaust.
But the purpose of remembering the Holocaust is to prevent a recurrence. The leaders of Iran threaten to wipe Israel off the map, and at the same time are developing...
