When is a Cease-Fire Not A Cease-Fire »

The important thing to remember about this story is that there each side has entirely different ideas of what a “cease-fire” is.
For the Israelis, a cease-fire means that each side stops all hostilities and negotiates terms leading toward an actual peace treaty. In the worst case, they negotiate terms under which the cease-fire will [...]

Unfortunately, P-E Obama’s Latest Nomination Isn’t a Joke »

I heard about P-E Obama’s latest nomination earlier today, but I still think that it has to be some kind of a joke. There is no way in the world that a serious-minded person could ever appoint Leon Panetta to run the CIA. Unfortunately, it’s no joke.
Here’s Panetta’s Wikipedia entry. Find me something there that [...]

“I Am Invincible! Invinci…” »

Good call.

The day before a powerful blast sent his headless body flying out of his Gaza home on Thursday, senior Hamas leader Nizar Rayan predicted that the Islamist movement would defeat Israel.

In other news, Hamas’s television network broadcast a week-old speech from Nizar Rayan where he picked the Detroit Lions to win the Super Bowl. [...]

From Nightmare to Museum Exhibit »

Either They’re Ignorant or They Think You Are »

There’s a reason you should never look to Hollywood for a history lesson. With a few exceptions, actors and directors know as much about history as a Golden Retriever knows about differential calculus. Benicio Del Toro and Steven Soderbergh are not the exceptions.

Hollywood hotshot Benicio Del Toro is not a stand-up comic, but he seemed [...]

Christmas in London, 1941. »

It’s don’t have much to say about this movie made about a Christmas in a world that we have thrown into the garbage can of cynicism and egotism. Watching Britain celebrate Christmas during the Blitz and listening to the American narrator all but begging his countrymen to get into the fight and help them put [...]

Jimmy Carter Takes the “Useful” out of “Useful Idiot” »

You know what really bugs me? All those terrorists out there who have no defense against the legitimate armies who are doing their best to prevent the Islamist thugs from blowing up bombs in schoolyards and roadside cafes.
No, wait. That’s not what bugs me. That’s what bugs International Thug-Emabler in Chief Jimmy Carter.

TEL AVIV [...]
