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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Apartheid in the Middle East

Imag­ine if Al Qaeda funded groups inter­na­tion­ally to warn peo­ple about the wicked nature of Jews. Far­fetched? Not exactly. It’s hap­pen­ing right now except the group isn’t Al Qaeda it’s the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood. Harm­less? Try ask­ing those close to for­mer Egypt­ian Pres­i­dent Anwar Sadat. Heck, you could ask Sadat your­self if the Broth­er­hood hadn’t assassinated […]

Turkey Shows Her True Face

Guest arti­cle by Crethi Plethi, a blog that cov­ers in-depth infor­ma­tion on Israel, Middle East Affairs and Islam. I chose to fea­ture this post because it has  sig­nif­i­cant impli­ca­tions for Israel, the West and all peo­ple who dream of one day liv­ing in a free and demo­c­ra­tic soci­ety. In the after­math of the Gaza war, the friend­ship between Turkey and […]

A Salute to Standouts Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Zionism

Some­times one per­son in the scheme of things doesn’t seem influ­en­tial enough to make a dif­fer­ence. Yet, what if that one per­son is pas­sion­ate, coura­geous and ready to take a stand? Con­sider being one of thou­sands of Hous­ton com­muters on U.S. 59 N. when dozens can­vas the Man­dell Bridge with signs that say, “Israel Out of the […]

Read Between the Lies

We hear an awful lot that Islam is a reli­gion of peace. And I know some who fit that descrip­tion. Yet coun­tries that have near 100 per­cent Islamic pop­u­la­tion  –  Afghanistan, Soma­lia, Saudi Ara­bia and Yemen  –  seem any­thing but peace­ful. So why are we privy to fre­quent news reports of Islamic ter­ror­ist attacks, sui­cide bomb­ings, insur­gent upris­ings and Fat­was order­ing violence to […]

Another Yahoo Talks Out of His Butt

On December 1, 2009, in Iran, Israel, Judaism, terrorism, by jenhanin

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 […]
