Israel is an apartheid state(?)

May 4, 2012

This is the war cry one hears unanswered on most college campuses; this is the damning claim of many vociferous non-governmental bodies.

Most claim it has not started, others say Israel will not survive without it: democracy, equality, fraternity – all demand it!

March 15, 2012

Who Needs to Talk for Hamas?

October 6, 2010

As talks between Israel and Fatah grind along, many commentators have asked: where is Hamas? Who is speaking for the duly elected leaders of a good portion of the factitious Palestinian Authority?

The Grand Coalition

August 19, 2010
