What Obama Isn’t Telling You About the Middle East

On October 29, 2012,

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 […]

Toil Not Terror

On April 9, 2012,

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 […]

Déjà Vu All Over Again

On March 26, 2012,

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 […]

More Proof Iran is Losing its Stranglehold on Syria

On June 8, 2011,

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 […]

Meet the REAL Apartheid States in the Middle East

On May 31, 2011,

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 […]

No Social Promotion For Those Who Spread Hate

On May 16, 2011,

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 “cat­a­stro­phe”. Unfor­tu­nately, “Nakba” is how Arab States rec­og­nize the for­ma­tion of Israel. This inabil­ity to move away from […]

Replacing Demonization with a Conversation

On March 3, 2011,

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 […]

Right Side of History or Left Side of Disaster?

On February 11, 2011,

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 […]

Immediate Cure-alls Unlikely

On February 7, 2011,

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 […]

Where’s Geraldo?

On February 4, 2011,

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 […]
