What Prisoner Swap?

I’ve been moving around the internet a bit looking at stories about the way in which Israel turned a brutal, mass murderer over in exchange for two bodies.  What’s fascinating is that the stories keep calling it a “prisoner swap,” as if there’s parity in the exchange.  Prisoner swap, after all, implies that Israel gave [...]

Barack Obama Tries To Squeeze Water From a Rock

What do you think is worse for a Presidential candidate and elected member of the U.S. Senate

Having a Middle East advisor that holds secret meetings with the terrorist group Hamas (among others)
Having an adviser that puts his foot in his mouth by saying that another attack on America would be an advantage to the Republicans

Truth [...]

Hamas Enters Into Truce With Israel, But…

Hamas never enters into truces with an eye to peace. It enters into truces with an eye to getting its troops rested and rearmed before the next offensive. Israel, equipped with knowledge of both core Islamic doctrine (hudna) and Hamas’ own past behavior, nevertheless keeps giving its opponent a breather, rather than keeping [...]

Thomas Friedman Misleads Jews on Full Obama Picture By Clever Omission

Tom Friedman, man of the New York Times, writes to assure American Jews that Obama is no threat whatsoever to Israel’s security.  His column is a nasty little piece of work, not for what it says, but for what it doesn’t say.  It opens with a series of scare quotations purported from Barack Obama, all [...]

What You Are Not Allowed to Say About Barack Obama - (Appeaser, Mentored by Racist Preacher, Terrorists Love Him….)

Victor Davis Hanson, on what you’re not allowed to say about Barack Obama:
3. Rev. Wright is like “an old uncle” and his church “not particularly controversial.” Those who insist otherwise are using “snippets” and “loops” out of context for cheap political advantage. But should the Rev. repeat his serial lunacies at the National Press Club [...]

The Myth of the Occupied Territories

I’m beginning to think that incrementalism is one of the most dangerous things out there, whether it’s the way Obama leaks out the truth about his big lies or the way in which the jihadists keep asking for little things from us — no pigs, no dogs, no occupied territories. As to that latter [...]

Obama and His Many Questionable Connections

Charles Johnson, at LGF, working off the top of his head, put together a list of Obama’s troublesome associations:
* Rabidly anti-Israel Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi. The Obamas were regular dinner guests at Khalidi’s Hyde Park home for years.
* Terrorist sympathizer Ali Abunimah, who runs the viciously anti-Israel web site Electronic Intifada.
* Unrepentant Weather Underground [...]

Jimmy Carter, Loathsome Old Man

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 [...]
