Media Blind Spot

September 17, 2010

General Petraeus recently voiced his concern that the plans of Pastor Terry Jones – the leader of a (very) small Florida church – to burn Qurans on the upcoming anniversary of the 9/11 attacks would endanger our troops.

Obama and the Europeans demand a freeze on Jewish construction in the West Bank, in Judea and Samaria. Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen) and the Arab League require such a freeze to even consider further negotiations with Israel. By all means, let’s support a freeze – a comprehensive, simultaneous freeze on all sides. Let us [...]

Fortuitous?

January 15, 2009

Is it possible there is a reason why Israel put-off hitting back at Hamas—and their firing of 5,000 rockets and mortars into southern Israel—until recently? Certainly, Israel’s ongoing and unambiguous destruction of the Hamas threat has put Hezbollah rocketeers to the north, still crowing about the inconclusive 2006 Lebanon War, on notice. If they step [...]

The Last Year of the Pig

June 23, 2008

We may have seen the Year of the Pig fully celebrated in accordance with the Chinese calendar for the last time. References to pigs were banned in China’s television advertising in 2007, the official Year of the Pig, to prevent offending the Muslim population. In Taiwan citizens were put on notice about using ‘pig’ postage [...]

Islamism is Indeed Fascism

March 31, 2008

Islam can be a religion of moderation, of peace. If the majority of the one billion Muslims were not moderate and supported al-Qaeda, the Western World would be simply overwhelmed in spite of its technological, military and financial superiority.

February 29, 2008

Sderot is a modest town in Israel, one mile from the Gaza border. A good many of its citizens are in fact immigrants expelled from the Arab countries of North Africa and the Middle East.

December 21, 2007

In his New York Sun article, Hillel Halkin talks of five uncertain options of response to the Hamas and Islamic Jihad missile barrages against Israel. But there is a pragmatic and eminently feasible sixth option. Option 6: There has been and there desperately needs to be linked consequentiality – a clear response formula – this [...]

The Similarities of Jimmy Carter and bin Laden

August 15, 2007

A most unlikely match most would say; certainly ex-President Carter’s supporters would wax eloquent on the patent absurdity of this suggestion. Look at the comparison a little more closely and surprising similarities spring forth, mostly centering around the single-minded, zealous self-righteousness of both men that manifests to such a degree as to blind them both [...]
