Insult Over Injury

On November 13, 2010, in Abbas, Gaza, Iran, Israel, Palestine, Palestinians, terrorism, UN, United Nations, by jenhanin

As expected, the New York Times is up to their old tricks again. It wasn’t enough that the news­pa­per flaunted their pen­chant for cozy­ing up with Com­mu­nists in its Sunday’s Metro sec­tion, “Where Marx­ists Pon­tif­i­cate, And Play,” now the once-respected pub­li­ca­tion has cast a black shadow over Israeli Prime Min­is­ter Ben­jamin Netanyahu’s state­side visit with Secretary […]

Peace or Pipedream? Palestinians Must Pick

What is for­mer US Pres­i­dent Jimmy Carter think­ing these days? Meet­ing with Hamas leader Khalid Mashaal doesn’t bode well for his rep­u­ta­tion. Pro-Israel sup­port­ers are furi­ous with this as Hamas is a rec­og­nized ter­ror­ist group by the United States and Israel. Then there is Gilad Shalit to con­sider. Hamas has held Gilad Shalit for over four […]

Antisemite Rick Sanchez Tops A New List

It’s about time CNN removed another anti­semite from its daily news team. I don’t think Amer­ica shed any tears over CNN’s fir­ing of Rick Sanchez. I, for one, was so sick of see­ing Rick’s List dur­ing my daily work­out that Fri­day after I saw Sanchez play “war room news­caster style” by don­ning a ban­dana to show his edgi­ness and pretending […]

Calling All Superheros

We have heard it before and chances are we will hear it again. The play on words when it comes to Iran’s nuclear inten­tions couldn’t get any more absurd than if your favorite comic book vil­lain leaped from the pages and spoke it. Just yes­ter­day, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency announced the country […]

When Did Liberals Become Hypocrites?

Grow­ing up, being a lib­eral meant you were an intel­lec­tual who stood for noble causes like progress, peace and human rights. I’m proud to say my dad was one   –   he knew the wrongs that needed to be resolved but also knew when some­one put lip­stick on a pig. Yet today, those that claim to be lib­eral are often walking […]

Derailing Peace at Every Turn

Imag­ine if there were evil forces out to frame you no mat­ter what you did or how you did it. Then con­sider Israel. Just two days ago, IDF sol­diers per­formed rou­tine main­te­nance by clear­ing bushes to improve the line of sight along the Israeli  –  Lebanese bor­der. Then “suddenly”  –  a word that par­ents read­ing children’s books are all too […]

Cure the Disease, Not the Symptoms

Israeli For­eign Min­is­ter Danny Ayalon set the record straight with his recent Wall Street Jour­nal arti­cle on the dou­ble stan­dard the world places on Israel. Ayalon brought up a good ques­tion: where was the world a few years ago when Pales­tin­ian ter­ror­ists mur­dered nearly 500 locals at a refugee camp? Now I have one. Where were Oliver Stone, Elvis Costello […]

The World Did Not Blink

     The world barely noticed when Turk­ish PM Tayyip Erdo­gan left the entire planet in the lurch by vot­ing against Iran’s nuclear sanc­tions last week (ditto for Brazil and Lebanon).   The world stared silently when Russ­ian government-ordered raids slaugh­tered thou­sands of Chechens and dis­placed over 500,000 in two decades.    The world entirely over­looked hundreds […]

Just When You Thought It Couldn’t Get More Annoying

Can it get any more moronic? I mean really. This week has seen more than its fair share of cads and coun­tries come out of the wood­work only to be thorns in our side. There is the attention-seeking Iran­ian Pres­i­dent and nut job, Ahmadine­jad, that can’t help but level veiled threats to destroy Israel in a week’s […]

United Nations Heads the Line For Human Rights Abusers

I don’t know about you but when I think about who should sit on the United Nations Human Rights Coun­cil, Muam­mar Qaddafi never comes up. But that is not how dic­ta­tors around the world thought when they voted over­whelm­ingly in favor of ush­er­ing one of the most bru­tal and long­stand­ing tyran­nies onto the already pock-marked council. […]
