The Myth of Stolen Arab Land

Israel Kasnett @ July 20, 2008 # 5 Comments

~by Israel Kasnett
While the Arab-Israeli conflict today is a diplomatic and military one, it is also composed of a third element - the media. Not being confined, the media debate has spread throughout the internet, online newspapers, online journals and of course, blogs.
Although contributors to online blogs and threads often offer nothing more than rubbish [...] Read more »

Warner Todd Huston @ July 14, 2008 # One Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston
French media loses big court case proving Palestinian propaganda false, New York Times ignores shocking story… Why?
France TV 2 has lost a major court case in France that makes the lie to a major piece of Palestinian propaganda. In 2000 an incident occurred in the Palestinian areas that has since been used [...] Read more »

Israel Opens its Borders

E.D. Kain @ July 8, 2008 # No Comment Yet

It looks like despite continued mortar fire, Israel is opening up its border with Gaza, which should at least allow some humanitarian aid to cross into the area.  It also comes during a time when Hamas, despite the continued shelling of Israel, blames the Israeli government for delays in talks over the release of Gilad [...] Read more »

Prisoner Swap - Israel to Release Murderer Sami Kuntar

E.D. Kain @ July 7, 2008 # One Comment

I remember, as a child, watching old Western’s in which a prisoner exchange would go down on some dusty, old-West street.  The bad guys would line up on one side of the road, hands on their pistols, faces grim.  On the other side, the good guys, slightly outnumbered, heroic, desparate, would untie the really, really [...] Read more »

All Quiet on the Eastern Front

E.D. Kain @ June 26, 2008 # One Comment

The Arab Press and pro-Arab and Islamic bloggers and members of sites such as Newsvine are constantly up in arms over the supposed war crimes the Israeli government is perpetrating against the Palestinian people. Prior to Israel conquering the territories of the West Bank, which was annexed initially by Jordan, and Gaza, which was Palestinian [...] Read more »

Around the Web on June 25th

Well, as per usual, the internet is buzzing with information, news, a wide variety of topics.  I’ve taken it upon me to find just a few of the most interesting, riveting, and thought-provoking bits.
CNN reported on the arrest of over 500 people allegedly linked to al Qaeda.  Liberals in America will be pleased to hear [...] Read more »

The Israeli-Palestinian Divide

Israel Kasnett @ June 25, 2008 # No Comment Yet

While Israel is engaged in a deadly, drawn-out conflict with Palestinian terrorists, one must wonder: Do all Israelis hate Palestinians and do all Palestinians hate Israelis? I posit in the negative.
I am a Jewish Israeli and while I take a very firm stance against terrorism, incitement and anti-Israel activity, by no means do I harbor [...] Read more »

Trust But Verify - The Problems In Dealing With Syria and Iran

Bill Harrison @ May 27, 2008 # No Comment Yet

“Trust but verify.” Those were the watchwords of President Ronald Reagan when he embarked upon the historic series of negotiations with the Soviet Union that would culminate with the START I Treaty designed to reduce the numbers of nuclear weapons deployed by the United States and Soviet Union. Today a tempest in a teapot has [...] Read more »

Palestinians Actively Campaigning For Obama

Conservemus @ May 19, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Sometime next fall, when you get a call from someone with a foreign accent urging you to vote for Barack Obama, you may consider asking where they are calling from. There’s a good chance it may be the Gaza strip and from a member of Hamas.
Palestinians in Gaza have taken it upon themselves to actively [...] Read more »

Terrorists For Obama

Conservemus @ May 11, 2008 # 2 Comments

Hamas, the Palestinian Sunni Islamist militant organization (i.e. terrorist group) and political party has come out in support of their favorite U.S. Presidential candidate….Barack Obama. Hamas’ top political adviser in the Gaza Strip, Ahmed Yousef, said in an interview with World Net Daily and ABC radio that Hamas “hopes” Obama will win the presidential elections [...] Read more »

A Strong Case for Israel

E.D. Kain @ May 8, 2008 # 6 Comments

Today Israel celebrates its 60th anniversary, and the world watches in full knowledge that amidst the fireworks of celebration are police and soldiers unable to celebrate alongside their fellow Israelis. These brave men and women are keeping watch over their people, vigilant as ever against the very real threat of rocket attack, suicide bomb, [...] Read more »

What it means to say “Holocaust”

E.D. Kain @ May 7, 2008 # 2 Comments

Meryl Yourish is an endless source of Zionist information, and her blog should be read daily for any of you who may be interested in what’s going on in Israel regarding the Palestinian conflict. Daily. I’m not kidding when I say this, but she manages to pour through so much material, so many [...] Read more »

Why I Strongly Support Israel

Edward Beaman @ May 4, 2008 # 6 Comments

The dictionary definition of ‘to assume’ is defined as ‘to take for granted or without proof; to suppose; to postulate’. It is a natural human trait which has benefited our species but one that has also pitched us into numerous wars and hatreds throughout the various millennia. Everyone has assumptions about this and that, from [...] Read more »

Hamas TV Rebukes the Holocaust

E.D. Kain @ May 2, 2008 # No Comment Yet

It’s quite common in the Islamic world, or at least in the mainstream Islamic media and vocal opinion, to forget that the Prophet Mohammad urged Muslims to live peacefully with the “people of the book” or the Christians and Jews whose faiths are the roots of Islamic belief. Haaretz reports that Hamas TV, that [...] Read more »

The Fallacy of Peace Talks

E.D. Kain @ April 28, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Hamas has proposed a ten-year truce with Israel. Continued peace–peace that could extend beyond one decade–is apparently too much of a commitment for the Palestinian terrorist group. Ten years. I imagine Khaled Mashaal thought that this was a rather nice number. A rounded number. A short time for peace to [...] Read more »

Strange Days in the Palestinian Territories

Guest Authors @ April 19, 2008 # No Comment Yet

There sure are some strange things taking place in the Middle East right now. And I don’t like any of it! This past week has been one of historic proportions. First we have this crazed liberal, former President Jimmy Carter, going to Israel on what he likes to think of as a goodwill mission. The [...] Read more »

Making Israel’s Case

Israel Kasnett @ April 14, 2008 # No Comment Yet

While the League of Nations Mandate recognized the issue of statehood for the Jewish people in 1919, as did its successor, the United Nations in 1947, many people around the globe, laymen and scholars alike, continue to misunderstand Israel’s case in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Even today, they wonder why the State of [...] Read more »

Carter Visits Sderot

E.D. Kain @ April 14, 2008 # 3 Comments

Jimmy Carter said in Sderot that he deplores the killing of innocent civilians. Snubbed by most of Israel’s top brass, Carter managed to get an audience with the rocket-strewn town’s mayor. The peace process was central to Carter’s message, though one has to ask oneself just how much sanity the ex-President retains. [...] Read more »

Rain in Sderot

E.D. Kain @ April 7, 2008 # No Comment Yet

It’s raining in Israel.  You won’t hear about it on the weather channel, though, because it’s not your typical rain.  Sadly, the fact that rockets are raining down on the Israeli town of Sderot won’t be found easily on the regular news either.  No, it is more likely you will hear about actual rainfall in [...] Read more »

Israel: Options for proportionality in Gaza

E.D. Kain @ March 26, 2008 # One Comment

by Dennis Wright
Israel’s military action in recent days, seeking to stem the rain of missiles from Gaza aimed at Israeli towns, has attracted criticism from the EU and the UN on the grounds of proportionality. They did both also call for the cessation of the missile fire into Israel.
The EU’s words:
“The Presidency condemns the [...] Read more »

Carter: 2007 Idiot of the Year

E.D. Kain @ March 24, 2008 # 2 Comments

Jimmy Carter is getting my 2007 Idiot of the Year Award (I don’t remember doling it out already, but it’s no big deal if two idiots get it this time) for his statements on Hamas.
“This effort to divide Palestinians into two peoples now is a step in the wrong direction,” he said. “All efforts of [...] Read more »

Hitler’s Heirs

E.D. Kain @ March 24, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Hizbullah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, speaking via satellite to a crowd gathered in Beirut asked an interesting question (and provided an even more interesting answer):

Can Israel disappear? A thousand times, yes.

Now, it’s true that the Jewish people have been cast from their homeland a few times, so perhaps the seeming discrepancy in Nasrallah’s logic isn’t so [...] Read more »

Most Palestinians Support Terror

E.D. Kain @ March 20, 2008 # No Comment Yet

 I read this over at Israel Matzav today:
The New York Times today publishes the results of a poll of ‘Palestinians’ and discovers that an astounding 84% - the largest number to support a single terror attack - supported the murder of eight Jewish boys at the Merkaz HaRav yeshiva. Some 75% wish to terminate ‘negotiations’ [...] Read more »
