Unity Agreement Says More About Fatah than Hamas

On May 10, 2011,

How many peo­ple do you know that spend decades talk­ing about peace but never make con­ces­sions to achieve it? How many do you know that talk about an “occu­pa­tion” but do every­thing EXCEPT nego­ti­ate a last­ing peace set­tle­ment? How many do you know that have con­tin­u­ally offered con­do­lences over Pales­tin­ian ter­ror attacks against Israelis but when […]

Fatah Military Calls Killers of bin Laden “Gangs of Heretics”

On May 5, 2011,

Most peace-loving cit­i­zens around the globe are angry to hear Hamas is mourn­ing the death of Osama bin Laden. Many of the same har­bor hope of future peace between Israel and the Pales­tini­ans after hear­ing Pales­tin­ian Pres­i­dent Mah­moud Abbas wel­come bin Laden’s death. Yet, what if  Abbas’s words only amounted to paka-paka (translit­er­ated Eng­lish for […]

Olmert vs. PaliLeaks

On January 27, 2011,

Yes­ter­day, Act For Israel cov­ered the PaliLeaks, and put Qatar-based Al Jazeera in the hot-seat for dis­pers­ing a one-sided per­spec­tive of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process laced with dis­tor­tions, fab­ri­ca­tions and out­right lies. Now, Act For Israel says: Move over PaliLeaks. Today, For­mer Israeli Prime Min­is­ter Ehud Olmert releases selec­tions from his upcom­ing auto­bi­og­ra­phy that details his […]

UNRWA: Who Dares to Control It?

On November 9, 2010,

Ever won­der why the Pales­tini­ans have remained “refugees” for 60 years. Well, look no fur­ther than UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency). This UN agency is high on the inter­na­tion­al dole yet seems to pro­duce lit­tle other text­books that teach hate, employ rad­i­cal extrem­ists and churn out a bur­geon­ing soci­ety of young Pales­tini­ans that hate Jews and […]

Could the “Unbridgeable” Gap be Closing?

On October 25, 2010,

What’s New Hamas just announced that it is hold­ing upcom­ing nego­ti­a­tions with Fatah to end their ongo­ing dis­pute. Hamas leg­is­la­tor and spokesper­son in the Gaza Strip, Salah Bardaweel, rejected the idea that the polit­i­cal plat­forms of Hamas and Fatah are like. In fact, his words sug­gested a trou­bling asser­tion as the Pales­tini­ans and much of the Arab world has been […]

Real Peace Rests on Recognition

On October 18, 2010,

Most of us know that while the Pales­tini­ans like to call foul ball when it comes to con­struc­tion, set­tle­ments and bor­ders that the real imped­i­ment to peace is actu­ally quite simple. We got a whiff of it last week after Israeli Prime Min­is­ter Ben­jamin Netanyahu asked Pales­tin­ian Pres­i­dent Mah­moud Abbas to rec­og­nize Israel as the home of the Jewish […]

The House of Jihad

On September 19, 2010,

Our fam­ily decided to take a Sun­day drive through an Orange County neigh­bor­hood that we had read many pos­i­tive things about includ­ing: a family-friendly neigh­bor­hood. Notice the scenic vis­tas and walk­ing trails. Or my per­sonal favorite: You’ll love the mature trees and the unequiv­o­cal serenity.All that is true, but much of it came to a screech­ing halt when […]

What is Abbas Afraid Of? Hamas

On September 11, 2010,

Fatah are mod­er­ates. Some days that is a hard con­cept to com­pre­hend. After all, they come equipped with their very own ter­ror­ist wing. So what makes them mod­er­ate? Fatah is a sec­u­lar party. The party’s ide­ol­ogy unlike Hamas is not rooted in reli­gion. The other fac­tor that makes them mod­er­ate is that they are will­ing to talk to […]
