Right Side of History or Left Side of Disaster?

By now, any­one who’s surfed the inter­net, turned on a TV, radio or had a dis­cus­sion about world pol­i­tics has heard that Egypt­ian Pres­i­dent Hosni Mubarak has stepped down. Really forced out. A peace­ful rev­o­lu­tion that was really a street-side coup d’état to top­ple a cor­rupt gov­ern­ment that was a firm friend of the West. So how do we inter­nal­ize US […]

Glocks, Crocks & Shades of Gray

Many of my blog fol­low­ers have asked why I haven’t blogged in a few weeks. That’s sim­ple. I’d love to say I was ski­ing the Alps or div­ing the Sey­chelles or maybe even scal­ing the Andes but in all hon­esty, besides advo­cat­ing for Act For Israel, I spent the last month comb­ing through all 18 chap­ters of my upcoming […]

Today Jews, Tomorrow the West?

On my drive back from LA, my iPhone buzzed to life with break­ing news about pack­ages con­tain­ing explo­sives ear­marked for Chicago syn­a­gogues. The CNN bul­letin con­firmed US offi­cials believe al Qaeda in the Ara­bian Penin­sula (AQAP) is behind the cargo ter­ror plot. Now, do I believe al Qaeda or any other rad­i­cal Islamic group would plan […]

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 […]

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 […]

America Stop Kowtowing to Islam

The­ater­go­ers have seen gobs of comedic films about God like Bruce Almighty, Evan Almighty, Dogma and even Oh God. But regard­less of whether Mor­gan Free­man, Ala­nis Moris­sette or George Burns brings this omnipo­tent role to life, ticket pay­ers are well aware that this is com­edy not sac­ri­lege. Now enter Penn Jil­lette on Larry King Live […]

Trading the United States Flag for a Crescent Moon and Star

US Vice Pres­i­dent Joe Biden’s poor treat­ment of Israeli Prime Min­is­ter Netanyahu fol­lowed by his harsh state­ment to Israel is a symp­tom of a much larger prob­lem. Once again, we are see­ing Pres­i­dent Obama’s Mus­lim roots and Arab con­nec­tions sti­fling Israel the same way the allur­ing South African ice plant has become an eco­log­i­cal nui­sance to California. […]
