No one would ever think of telling Governor Rick Perry to return Texas to Mexico. Nor, would anyone chide Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to return California to Mexico. And no one, I mean no one, would ever demand that US President Obama return America to the United Kingdom. Yet, the world, often influenced by Middle Eastern oil money, […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Philippines is one of the most westernized countries in Asia with strong ties to the US and the United Nations. Yet a local warlord that doubles as a governor, Andal Ampatuan, just massacred 57 people —12 of which were journalists — to prevent a gubernatorial candidate from filing his papers. Sound crazy?

But what happens when a disenfranchised group bent on killing you hijacks your history, spins it for their benefit and hoodwinks the rest of the world? This is exactly what the Palestinian movement has done to Israel. Let’s not forget the […]
How often have we heard reports of Arabs throwing rocks or firebombs at Israeli vehicles? Or Hamas and Hezbollah-led terrorist attacks claiming lives of Israeli men, women and children? Or Arab-led Anti-Semitic propaganda being taught to children and reinforced through schools, mosques and television? Or the never-ending cyber attacks on Israel’s government infrastructure? Or what […]
It’s hard to attend social gatherings these days without conversations dovetailing into Middle East peacekeeping. Discussions can turn into heated exchanges depending on whether you’re in favor of a Palestinian state or not. Even Jews differ on this issue. But one thing seems universal – many form a viewpoint on this tumultuous region of the world before knowing its […]
Capturing and detaining Gilad Shalit in a Hamas hellhole for four years serves no purpose. Clearly, Hamas has its own agenda to leverage this high-profile prisoner. Israel also has her own highly politicized (and often criticized) stance regarding negotiating for hostages. But when will Hamas release Gilad? The deal struck with Hamas, Israel, Egypt and marginalized […]
