Bruce Kesler put me wise to this article out of Israel (one pretty much ignored in the US press) about the way America (make that the State Department and the brain trust at the Ivy Leagues) spent twenty years consistently trying to undermine Israel. And we wonder why the “peace talks” never worked. Anyway, I [...]

There’s a pattern to the disinformation war waged against Israel by the likes of the Palestinians and their allies on the Left. It goes like this:
1)Subject Israel’s civilians to attacks to provoke an IDF response.
2)Make sure you use Arab women,children and other noncombatants as human shields to hide behind when firing rockets, storing ammo, shooting [...]

That’s what Thomas Friedman has.
Hamas rejects any recognition of Israel. By contrast, the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority, which controls the West Bank, has recognized Israel — and vice versa. If you believe, as I do, that the only stable solution is a two-state one, with the Palestinians getting all of the West Bank, Gaza and Arab [...]

Did you know that a rocket could break a truce? I didn’t. Being neither a scientist nor a weapons expert, nor a member of the MSM, I kind of thought that, absent human intervention, rockets would just lie around inert. It’s just always seemed to me that, for a rocket to fly [...]

Richard Baehr initially supported Ariel Sharon’s decision to withdraw Israel from the Gaza Strip. He now believes that the withdrawal was a terrible mistake, and carefully explains why. As for me, I don’t think it was a mistake then. I think it collapsed for a reason that could not be foreseen. Let me explain.
What I [...]

The former peanut farmer, turned US President, then former US President, now betrayer and huge sellout to not only the US, but also Israel is spewing his lies in the United Kingdom. Carter who in my estimation and many others is nothing but a zero still sees himself as some self-inflated power broker. Sadly this [...]

The New York Times periodically pops up with articles in which its perplexed employees report that the incarceration rate in the US is up but, for reasons they cannot fathom, crime is down. Life is so difficult if you’re absolutely certain that “A” and “B” can’t possibly be related or, even worse, that “A” can’t [...]

The New York Times again gave a forum to Jimmy Carter. This time Carter defends his immoral, illegal decision to consort with terrorists, something that would be objectionable if the ordinary private citizen were to do it, but that rises to outrageous levels of indecency when a former President does the same thing.
Carter’s most recent [...]

For a year, Gaza has rained over 2,000 rockets onto Israeli soil, aiming specifically for civilian communities. There was, of course, nary a peep from the UN. Now that Israel has struck back, targeting specifically militants who happen to hide amongst civilian populations, the UN Rights Council springs into action:

While fanatics fight, ordinary people try to live. In Hebron, a City with a sadly bloody history, a few good men have had the courage to try to achieve stability and some measure of harmony:
Heads of local Palestinian clans in Hebron met on Sunday with representatives from Israeli settlements in the area and discussed the [...]
