On Israeli Apartheid and Matters of Life and Death

Jimmie | June 6, 2010 | Comments (1)

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. [...]

When I saw these headlines this morning, I knew something was amiss: At Least 10 Are Killed as Israel Halts Flotilla With Gaza Aid Israeli soldiers kill at least 10 protesters on boat carrying supplies to Gaza Israel Attacks Palestinian Aid Flotilla Deaths as Israeli forces storm Gaza aid ship Israel has one of the [...]

I See What You Did There, Mr. President

Here’s another particularly egregious bit from the President’s speech yesterday. In the section of the speech about Israel and the Palestinians he said: We must remember that the greatest price of this conflict is not paid by us. It’s not paid by politicians. It’s paid by the Israeli girl in Sderot who closes her eyes [...]

President Obama Works a Miracle, Finds Pork that the Islamists Will Love

Jimmie | February 24, 2009 | Comments (1)

I suppose of the Obama administration can shovel billions of dollars to ACORN, Planned Parenthood, and dozens of other pet activist groups, it shouldn’t surprise us all that much that he’s also sending almost a billion dollars to the Islamist thugs of Hamas. Of course, the official MSM cover story is that the money isn’t [...]

Our President Isn’t A Very Quick Study, Israel Finds

The unwillingness of the State Department to defend freedom against barbarism is troublesome, but not really a surprise. The U.S. administration attended four full days of negotiation. During that time they witnessed the following: the failure to adopt a proposal to act against Holocaust denial, a new proposal to single out Israel, which will now [...]

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

Jimmie | January 7, 2009 | Comments (0)

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 [...]

It’s Easy to Hate Israel Because They Will Let You.

Jeffrey Goldberg on the “world’s pornographic interest” in Israel’s flaws. It’s absolutely astonishing to me how interested the world is in Israel’s failings. This is the source of a bitter but hilarious observation I once heard a Kurdish leader make: He was complaining to me that his people were cursed, and I asked him what [...]
