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 [...]

Believe it or not, the words of my post title were my exact words to my children the other day. My daughter came up to me, very concerned, because she’d heard somewhere that Iran has a nuclear bomb. I assured her that Iran does not yet have a nuclear bomb, although it wants one. My [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Associated Press labeled Joe Lieberman as the “Democrats’ public enemy No. 1″ in an astoundingly one sided attack over the weekend in response to critical remarks the former Democrat Senator made about Barack Obama while campaigning for John McCain.
The first four paragraphs of the report were dedicated to an all out character assassination that [...]

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 [...]

People joke about the fact that lawyer’s “briefs” are so long. It is a good joke, but it misses the whole point of a true legal brief, which is to consolidate vast amounts of information culled from disparate sources into a single, coherent, lucid document. It’s very difficult to do this well.
Of course, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
