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 […]

Israel: The Model for the New Middle East

On March 4, 2011,

Look at the Mid­dle East and you’ll quickly see one State stands out among the fray. That State is and always has been: Israel. It is the one state that has made mul­ti­cul­tur­al­ism a way of life. It’s the one State that encour­ages full demo­c­ra­tic rights: free­dom of the press, free­dom of reli­gion, wom­ens’ rights and […]

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 […]

Ditching the Double-Standard Applied to Israel

On March 3, 2011,

It’s no secret that the Mid­dle East is crack­ing at the seams over what Israel enjoys daily: democ­racy. No, longer is Israel the whip­ping boy of the Mid­dle East or the cause of regions ills. Now, the world can open its eyes and see that the auto­cratic rule in Arab major­ity coun­tries has kept millions […]

Democracy Not Hypocracy So the Sign Says

On March 1, 2011,

For far too long, the only focus worth dwelling on in the Mid­dle East was Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian con­flict. Far too often, Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian con­flict pock­marked all that was wrong with the Mid­dle East. Then, presto, Arab coun­try after Arab coun­try found itself embroiled in its own rev­o­lu­tion where Arabs were willing […]

UN Prefers to Focus on Israel Over Middle East Atrocities

On February 22, 2011,

It’s a sad state of affairs when the UN has lit­tle inter­est in Mid­dle East pro­test­ers that are get­ting slain daily yet puts its Secu­rity Coun­cil in over­drive to defame Israel. Act For Israel made men­tion of this today and reg­u­larly calls the UN out on its biased con­duct towards Israel. Pro­test­ers in African nations and […]

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 […]

Israeli-Palestinian Conflict NOT the Panacea

On February 10, 2011,

World lead­ers have pegged the Israeli-Palestinian con­flict as the panacea for Mid­dle East peace for decades. Some have gone as far as to sug­gest peace­mak­ing between these two peo­ples impart far-reaching, even global ram­i­fi­ca­tions. Most have had to recoil their dropped jaws and eat their words when the real issues came to light as the […]

The Brotherhood is About as Moderate as Bin Laden

On February 4, 2011,

Lately, a num­ber of main­stream news out­lets have cast the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood as “mod­er­ates.” We won’t name them as they know who they are. Yet, if you’ve fol­lowed upris­ings in Tunisia, Egypt, Alge­ria, Jor­dan & Yemen and have one eye on Syria, you’ve prob­a­bly wit­nessed this. It couldn’t be fur­ther from the truth. There’s a dan­ger in […]
