Apartheid in the Middle East

Imag­ine if Al Qaeda funded groups inter­na­tion­ally to warn peo­ple about the wicked nature of Jews. Far­fetched? Not exactly. It’s hap­pen­ing right now except the group isn’t Al Qaeda it’s the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood. Harm­less? Try ask­ing those close to for­mer Egypt­ian Pres­i­dent Anwar Sadat. Heck, you could ask Sadat your­self if the Broth­er­hood hadn’t assassinated […]

Turkey Shows Her True Face

Guest arti­cle by Crethi Plethi, a blog that cov­ers in-depth infor­ma­tion on Israel, Middle East Affairs and Islam. I chose to fea­ture this post because it has  sig­nif­i­cant impli­ca­tions for Israel, the West and all peo­ple who dream of one day liv­ing in a free and demo­c­ra­tic soci­ety. In the after­math of the Gaza war, the friend­ship between Turkey and […]

A Salute to Standouts Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Zionism

The United Nations has a long­stand­ing pas­time that is vir­tu­ally unknown. It’s not a noble one like elim­i­nat­ing blood­shed in the Congo, or restor­ing law in Soma­lia or even peace­mak­ing in Kash­mir. It’s not focused on con­demn­ing coun­tries with appalling human rights abuses like China, Cuba, North Korea, Saudi Ara­bia, Sudan and Zim­babwe. Oh, no. It has […]

A Salute to Standouts Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Zionism

Some­times one per­son in the scheme of things doesn’t seem influ­en­tial enough to make a dif­fer­ence. Yet, what if that one per­son is pas­sion­ate, coura­geous and ready to take a stand? Con­sider being one of thou­sands of Hous­ton com­muters on U.S. 59 N. when dozens can­vas the Man­dell Bridge with signs that say, “Israel Out of the […]

Israel Aids Haiti While Arab Nations Are Noticeably Absent

The Jerusalem Post just char­ac­ter­ized Israel’s prompt response to Haiti’s earth­quake vic­tims as the Israel’s “pub­lic rela­tions knight in shin­ing armor.” That couldn’t be fur­ther from the truth. Israelis and non-Israeli Jews have a long his­tory of help­ing those in need. One of the beliefs rab­bis teach young Jews and new Jews alike is tikkun olam, […]

Read Between the Lies

We hear an awful lot that Islam is a reli­gion of peace. And I know some who fit that descrip­tion. Yet coun­tries that have near 100 per­cent Islamic pop­u­la­tion  –  Afghanistan, Soma­lia, Saudi Ara­bia and Yemen  –  seem any­thing but peace­ful. So why are we privy to fre­quent news reports of Islamic ter­ror­ist attacks, sui­cide bomb­ings, insur­gent upris­ings and Fat­was order­ing violence to […]

Israel is Still the World’s Favorite Whipping Boy

On December 8, 2009, in Iran, Israel, Judaism, Palestinians, terrorism, by jenhanin

Yes­ter­day, I encoun­tered an unsa­vory tweeter on Twitter.com. The hater couched him­self as a “human rights activist” while spew­ing vile lies about Israel and its peo­ple. But those of us abreast of the sit­u­a­tion in Israel, abroad and the UN know that this is just another thinly-veiled attempt to dis­credit and demo­nize the Jew­ish state. All […]

Another Yahoo Talks Out of His Butt

On December 1, 2009, in Iran, Israel, Judaism, terrorism, by jenhanin

Blam­ing Amer­ica for all ter­ror­ism is about the same as blam­ing the bal­loon boy for hav­ing morons as par­ents. Both are ludi­crous. Obvi­ously, Hezbollah’s chief, Has­san Nas­ral­lah, is as igno­rant as he is delu­sional because trans­fer­ence is only an option when it comes from the mouth of a cred­i­ble source. His lat­est address con­tained a num­ber of […]

U.S. Hikers in Iran: Political Pawns at Any Price?

On November 12, 2009, in Iran, by jenhanin

Accus­ing three Amer­i­can hik­ers of espi­onage for stray­ing into Iran is the same as say­ing soc­cer moms that inad­ver­tently drive into the ‘hood are crack deal­ers. Moronic? Most def­i­nitely. But that isn’t help­ing Uni­ver­sity of Cal­i­for­nia, Berke­ley grad­u­ates Shane Bauer, 27, Sarah Shourd, 31 and Joshua Fat­tal, 27. All were hik­ing until their vaca­tion ended […]
