Well, you knew it was coming:
US President Barack Obama reiterated his support for the Saudi Mideast peace initiative in a meeting with King Abdullah on Thursday night, the White House said in a statement.
The February 2002 initiative calls for a full Israeli withdrawal from all territories taken in the Six Day War, including east Jerusalem, [...]

Even my kids have figured out that the best negotiation is one in which you negotiate in good will from a position of strength. Barack Obama probably agrees with this principle, but it’s becoming obvious that he’s misidentified the source of America’s strength in any negotiation. When presidents from prior administrations (excepting Carter, of course) [...]

It’s official: today the U.N. Human Rights Council voted to adopt a resolution against the defamation of religions. It’s an attempt to abridge the right of free speech in order to protect Islam from criticism and insult.
The UN document archive where the text is supposed to be available is down now, so I haven’t been [...]

Back in 2007, El Inglés posted his debut essay here about the possibility of a Danish Civil War. Since then the future he imagined is a year and a half closer, and various European civil wars have come to seem more and more likely, as the lawless Muslim neighborhoods of major cities become larger and [...]

Bat Ye’or has written an article for today’s National Review Online. Some excerpts are below:
Geert Wilders and the Fight for Europe
Britain has just witnessed the spectacle of a duly elected parliamentarian from another EU country, Geert Wilders of the Netherlands, being denied entry to the country because he constituted “a threat to public policy.” Wilders, [...]

So freedom goes….not with a roar but with a cringe and a whimper from the British government.
Wilders got off the plane, was arrested, questioned in a detention center and refused entry. He says he’ll simply return to Holland.
Have a good laugh at this quote from a Home Office spokesman too cowardly(ashamed?) to identify himself:
“The government [...]

Why would President Hussein be seeing a seat on the notoriously anti-semitic, anti-American UN “human rights” council? It is seeking an appointment is an abomination - an affront to human rights and the very things America stands for and holds dear. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. This, yet again, speaks to who and what [...]

Ain’t Nick’s at it again. Kristof recently wrote:
President Bush’s problem was that he loved Israel too much. He embraced Israeli leaders even when they responded to provocations by killing more than 1,300 people in Gaza, according to Gaza health officials — in retaliation for shelling that had killed fewer than 30 Israelis since it began [...]

Pro-Palestinian protesters held a rally in front of an AIPAC event in New York City last night. A reader in New York just sent us this report:
The NYPD goes the way of the UK police — not protecting a New York Post photographer.
This is important. The NYPD allowed the “greenshirts” at a rally protesting AIPAC [...]

A couple of days ago, Obama was on rabidly Islamist, anti-American, antisemitic Al-Arabiya television tacitly conceding that it’s all America’s fault. (And if you’re asking what is all America’s fault, the answer is everything.) Is it any surprise, therefore, that Ahmadinejad instantly demanded that America apologize for various unspecified “crimes”? Vultures are quick to spot [...]
