Erdogan, Send Your Warships To Niger Instead

On September 9, 2011, in Delegitimization, Gaza flotilla, Hamas terrorists, Israel, by jenhanin

Sep­tem­ber 9, 2011 • BigPeace.com Turk­ish Prime Min­is­ter Recep Tayipp Erdo­gan recently raised eye­brows when he deep-sixed Israeli diplo­mats from Turkey. But it was his later remarks broad­cast on Al Jazeera tele­vi­sion that Turk­ish war­ships would accom­pany Turk­ish aid ves­sels to Pales­tini­ans in the Gaza Strip that dropped jaws. War­ships? Why would Turk­ish war­ships need […]

Flotilla-O-Rama: The Sequel

On July 11, 2011, in Delegitimization, Gaza flotilla, Hamas terrorists, Israel, by admin

July 11, 2011 •  BigPeace.com Do you sup­port a cause drown­ing in innu­endo? Share facts online when lies are reported erro­neously? Take action via Twit­ter, Face­book or in per­son to evoke a brighter future? Many would argue activism to improve the lives of oth­ers is hard-wired into our human con­di­tion, built-in to our DNA. Hear­ing about hunger, deprivation, […]

Peace or Pipedream? Palestinians Must Pick

What is for­mer US Pres­i­dent Jimmy Carter think­ing these days? Meet­ing with Hamas leader Khalid Mashaal doesn’t bode well for his rep­u­ta­tion. Pro-Israel sup­port­ers are furi­ous with this as Hamas is a rec­og­nized ter­ror­ist group by the United States and Israel. Then there is Gilad Shalit to con­sider. Hamas has held Gilad Shalit for over four […]

The House of Jihad

On September 19, 2010, in Arafat, Fatah, Hamas terrorists, infidel, Israel, jihad, Muslims, Palestine, Palestinians, by jenhanin

Our fam­ily decided to take a Sun­day drive through an Orange County neigh­bor­hood that we had read many pos­i­tive things about includ­ing: “It’s a family-friendly neigh­bor­hood.” “Notice the scenic vis­tas and walk­ing trails.”  Or my per­sonal favorite: “You’ll love the mature trees and the unequiv­o­cal seren­ity.” All that is true, but much of it came to a screeching […]

Time Magazine Shame on You

Is it any won­der why Israel gets a bad rap when main­stream pub­li­ca­tions like Time Mag­a­zine mis­rep­re­sent the Jew­ish State? In its Sept. 13, 2010 issue, Time Mag­a­zine sug­gests Israel doesn’t care about Peace. Really? The author, Karl Vick, claims Israelis are much more con­cerned with liv­ing their lives and enjoy­ing them­selves than whether they have […]

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 […]

Cure the Disease, Not the Symptoms

Israeli For­eign Min­is­ter Danny Ayalon set the record straight with his recent Wall Street Jour­nal arti­cle on the dou­ble stan­dard the world places on Israel. Ayalon brought up a good ques­tion: where was the world a few years ago when Pales­tin­ian ter­ror­ists mur­dered nearly 500 locals at a refugee camp? Now I have one. Where were Oliver Stone, Elvis Costello […]

Too Little, Too Late

Ok, I hate to admit it. I am one of those Jews who voted for Barack Hus­sein Obama (yuck!) think­ing he had all the answers. Wrong! He not only didn’t have ALL the answers, he didn’t have ANY of the answers. And not only did he not have any of the answers but he also lied about […]

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 […]
