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 […]

Mavi Maramara Sequel: Knife-Weilding ‘Aid’ Ship Goes to Court

On May 28, 2012,

May 27, 2012 • Breitbart.com Does polit­i­cal pos­tur­ing pass as an indict­ment in Turkey’s judi­cial sys­tem these days? Is Turk­ish Pres­i­dent Recep Tayipp Erdo­gan using a page from the old Arab League, post-Shah Iran­ian play­book again? Will Turkey’s poorly-written sequel about an “aid” ship with “peace­ful human­i­tar­i­ans” car­ry­ing rice and beans (i.e., provo­ca­teurs with ter­ror­ist ties […]

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 […]

Debating Flotilla Fans

On September 23, 2011,

Myth: Israel is an “occu­pier” who is com­mit­ting human rights vio­la­tions against Gazans with its oppres­sive block­ade. Fact: The Israeli gov­ern­ment imple­mented a naval block­ade of the Gaza Strip to pro­tect Israeli cit­i­zens who were the tar­get of repeated Hamas-led ter­ror­ist attacks. The mar­itime block­ade lim­its Hamas’s abil­ity to smug­gle arms via sea. Hamas gov­erns Gaza and is […]

Erdogan, Send Your Warships To Niger Instead

On September 9, 2011,

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 […]

Turkey Earns Its Namesake AGAIN

On January 14, 2011,

We have seen Turk­ish Prime Min­is­ter Recep Tayyip Erdo­gan say and do many anti-Israel things this year start­ing with the flotilla deba­cle all the way to embrac­ing Iran­ian Pres­i­dent Mah­moud Ahmadine­jad like a newly found BFF. But this one says it all. Now, Erdo­gan is claim­ing that Hamas is polit­i­cal group, not ter­ror­ists. Wow! You can […]

The Birth of Act For Israel

On June 22, 2010,

Cri­sis brings peo­ple together in inter­est­ing ways. This is exactly how Act for Israel came to life. The founders were advo­cat­ing for Israel in the media and on social media sites when the Gaza flotilla arrived and turned facts on their head. The world cried foul play on Israel while Turkey and Hamas snick­ered and […]

The World Did Not Blink

On June 16, 2010,

     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 […]

Turkey Shows Her True Face

On February 24, 2010,

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 […]
