October 28, 2012 Breitbart.com The biggest issue Israel faces today is not the garden-variety Arab Spring. It also is not whether equality and democracy reign in Israel. It’s also surprisingly not the Palestinian-Israeli conflict many associate as the bone of contention of the region. The mother-of-all-issues, as I learned Monday from Dr. Andy David, Israel’s Consul […]
As economic times get tougher in America there’s a general tendency (and growing apathy) to pay less attention to revolutions in the Middle East and more to our dwindling bank accounts. But we can’t become complacent while Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s brutal regime goes home-to-home executing families any more than we can stop seeking out the […]
I had the pleasure of being one of a handful of devoted advocates manning Act For Israel’s social media during both “Nakba” (the annual date when Palestinians mourn the 1948 declaration of the Jewish state) and “Naksa” (marking Arab defeat and territorial losses in the 1967 Six Day War). While Act For Israel was able to get […]
Ongoing Iranian provocation in the Middle East. Ahmadinejad’s incessant railing for the demise of Western democracies. Iran’s nuclear program progressing at lightning speed despite international sanctions. Lastly, Ahmadinejad’s umbilical cord of terror attached to Syria, Lebanon & Gaza shows signs of weakening. It couldn’t be any clearer that Ahmadinejad is losing his stranglehold on Syria […]
For years, those protesting Israel have claimed that Israel is an apartheid state. Yet, anyone comparing Israel to its neighbors would walk away shaking their heads. Let’s look at the facts so we can put this poppycock to rest. Israel allows freedom of speech, religion, voting and sexual orientation. It has more companies on the NASDAQ […]
How can a “peace†partner mourn the existence of its own partner? This is exactly what Palestinians did over the weekend by demonstrating in the name of what they term “Nakba †– an Arabic term meaning “catastropheâ€. Unfortunately, “Nakba†is how Arab States recognize the formation of Israel. This inability to move away from […]
There’s no doubt that if Israel’s critics compared the Jewish State to its Arab neighbors toe-to-toe, they would see that their criticisms of Israel were paltry when compared to the lack of democracy, human rights and individuals freedoms allowed in Arab countries. Alan Krinksy hits a high note with his article in the Sydney Morning Herald […]
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 […]
We hear it every day. Protesters in Tahrir Square want Mubarak ousted and they want it done yesterday. But we know that idealistic demands don’t always result in ideal measures. And Egypt is no different. Shlomo Avineri details in Haaretz why tyrannical regimes don’t turn into democracies overnight by walking us through centuries of historical […]
I’ll have to say my confidence in Piers Morgan evaporated into the Orange County breeze last night when I heard him diminish the danger of the Muslim Brotherhood on Piers Tonight. Piers went head-to-head with Mort Zuckerman, the current editor-in-chief of U.S. News & World Report when Zuckerman essentially told Piers that they don’t play in […]
