Exposing the Palestinian Narrative Gingrich-Style

Decem­ber 24, 2011 • BigPeace.com   Some­how, left-leaning jour­nal­ists just can’t twist the truth enough to put a dent in the cam­paign of pres­i­den­tial can­di­date Newt Gin­grich. All polls show Gin­grich gain­ing. Yet some are des­per­ately try­ing to change that. Now, self-professed Pales­tin­ian jour­nal­ist Daoud Kut­tab is recap­ping anti-Israel New York Times jour­nal­ist Thomas Friedman’s hate […]

Glocks, Crocks & Shades of Gray

Many of my blog fol­low­ers have asked why I haven’t blogged in a few weeks. That’s sim­ple. I’d love to say I was ski­ing the Alps or div­ing the Sey­chelles or maybe even scal­ing the Andes but in all hon­esty, besides advo­cat­ing for Act For Israel, I spent the last month comb­ing through all 18 chap­ters of my upcoming […]

Eradicating Hate Ads, One Bus At A Time

How can any group, let alone a county in the United States, pre­tend its own poli­cies on bus adver­tis­ing isn’t offen­sive if the mere ver­biage incites hate? This is exactly what’s hap­pen­ing in Seattle’s King County while the fringe group, Seat­tle Mideast Aware­ness Cam­paign, defends its planned ads that tout, “Israeli War Crimes.” The group’s spokesperson, […]

Wanted! A Cure for the Leftist Media Bias

There is a grow­ing epi­demic state­side. It has noth­ing to do with the menin­gi­tis out­break in North­ern Col­orado or the cholera epi­demic in in Haiti or even the vig­i­lant strain of malaria rav­aging dozens in the Venezue­lan Ama­zon. This dis­ease has every­thing to do with the fact that our media has become so left­ist that reporters continually […]

Today Jews, Tomorrow the West?

On my drive back from LA, my iPhone buzzed to life with break­ing news about pack­ages con­tain­ing explo­sives ear­marked for Chicago syn­a­gogues. The CNN bul­letin con­firmed US offi­cials believe al Qaeda in the Ara­bian Penin­sula (AQAP) is behind the cargo ter­ror plot. Now, do I believe al Qaeda or any other rad­i­cal Islamic group would plan […]

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 […]

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 […]

Israel Aids Haiti While Arab Nations Are Noticeably Absent

The Jerusalem Post just char­ac­ter­ized Israel’s prompt response to Haiti’s earth­quake vic­tims as the Israel’s “pub­lic rela­tions knight in shin­ing armor.” That couldn’t be fur­ther from the truth. Israelis and non-Israeli Jews have a long his­tory of help­ing those in need. One of the beliefs rab­bis teach young Jews and new Jews alike is tikkun olam, […]

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 […]

Disputes Over Israeli Territory Must End

On December 10, 2009, in Israel, Judaism, Palestinians, terrorism, by jenhanin

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, […]
