On Israeli Apartheid and Matters of Life and Death
Earlier today, one of my Twitter followers accused me of supporting South African-style apartheid because I staunchly and with few apologies defend the nation of Israel. This baffled me. Surely defending Israel’s right to exist as a nation does not mean that I support every move the nation makes, does it? To him, it does. [...]
It’s Beginning to Feel a Lot Like the 30s.
Mark Steyn on the increase of anti-Semitic violence in Europe. The European political and media class essentially shares the same view of the situation — to the point where state TV stations are broadcasting fake Israeli “war crimes.” As I always say, the “oldest hatred” didn’t get that way without an ability to adapt: Once [...]
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.

It seems at this point that Israel is going to send ground forces into Gaza in sufficient amounts to drive the Islamist butchers out, perhaps permanently. This time around, Israel appears determined to destroy Hamas utterly. Regardless of what Israel chooses to do in reaction to the years of Hamas bombs that have murdered Israelis [...]
“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 [...]
Let’s Not Infantilize the Palestinians By Not Calling it War
Reuters nearly pulled off an interesting trick in a story on the war between the Palestinian National Authority and Israel. I say almost because smart readers will see right through it as soon as I point it out. GAZA (Reuters) – Israeli air strikes flattened bastions of Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip on Monday [...]
