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 »

The looming Iran-Israel confrontation has a seemingly deterministic quality to it. Listening to the politicians, one gets a sense that powers beyond our control are pulling us toward a 21st-century disaster. Yet a great deal of the force propelling us into confrontation is fueled by ignorance and dehumanization. Israel is [...] Read more »

Today Israel traded a convicted child-murderer for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers.
Meryl Yourish writes:
By now it is over. The coffins handed over across the border today contain the two bodies they were supposed to contain. The two grieving families will get the closure of their two year long nightmare.
The decision to go ahead with [...] Read more »

Pat Buchanan is once again shooting his mouth off about Israel. From Holocaust revisionism to describing AIPAC as “Israel’s Fifth Column” here in America, Mr. Buchanan is revealing himself for the anti-Semite he is–exactly the sort of hate-monger William F. Buckley tried to rid the Conservatives of years ago.
Here’s a tidbit from his Townhall column:

The Jerusalem Post has published an incredible interview with writer Bat Ye’or. She is an historian and a prolific critic of the rise of Islamic extremism, especially in Europe.
She is the author of eight books, including The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians under Islam (1985); The Decline of Eastern Christianity: From Jihad to Dhimmitude (1996); Islam [...] Read more »

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 »

You might recollect the Danish cartoons that got the jihadists all crazy, and sparked a world-wide “Lego-burning” phenomenon. Well, I’m publishing them out of principle.
America has self-censored itself plenty, along with the rest of the world, because members of Islam are offended by cartoons. Muslims burn American and Israeli flags, and extremists incite violence and [...] Read more »

[this article originally published at Pajamas Media]
“If each Muslim throws a bucket of water on Israel,” said the late Ayatollah Khomeini, “Israel will be erased.” This immortal sentiment, and surreal image, captures the essence of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s public diplomacy campaign these last four years, one of the most effective uses [...] Read more »

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 »

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 »

While electile dysfunction devours huge bits of American attention - certain regimes and their fanboys pay attention too. For years it was widely understood in the ME that Great Satan didn’t act out militarily in an election year - or even the year before an election year. The Lame Duck syndrome.

As electile dysfunction begins to attract and distract Great Satan concurrently with world events, perhaps it’s time to reflect on sexy bits of military diplopolitical history and the resulting nigh indestructable sexy appeal of Straussians, Pentagon Vulcans and neoconservatism in the New Millennium.

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.

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 »

One of the main problems in solving the Arab-Israeli conflict today lies in the fact that Israel and the Palestinians do not come to the negotiating table with equal rights. However, the U.S. State Department, in playing the role of mediator, has decided to treat this conflict as if two equally deserving parties are fighting [...] Read more »

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 »

There is little doubt that the notion most Americans have in their heads of neoconservatism has been at least temporarily skewed due to the perceived failures in Iraq. Regardless of the fact that things are actually improving on the ground finally, the bad taste left in many proverbial mouths when uttering the term [...] Read more »

CNN today reported that high-level Hamas officials are stating that an imminent cease-fire with Israel is in the works, and could happen within three days.
Now, I’m torn on this. First of all, we all know that Hamas can use open-roads, and a cease-fire, simply to rearm and regroup forces. Then again, any move toward peace [...] Read more »

Obama is the consumate flip-flopper–not due, I suspect, to dishonesty, but rather to naivete regarding foreign policy. He’s just outspoken enough to say something foolish before his advisers can correct him. Or rather, with his comment of full support for Israel’s claim to an undivided Jerusalem, just foolish enough to say something good and honest [...] Read more »

Nobody says it quite like Meryl Yourish. And by “it” I mean, basically anything regarding Israel. Her candor is enviable, and her wit is razor-sharp. I’ve heaped praise on her before, but this time I just wanted to throw in a quick quotation–a little “rule” of sorts that I think applies here [...] Read more »

‘The burden in proving God doesn’t exist does not lie at my door; it’s up to believers to prove he does’ writes one atheist commentator.

I am a convinced law-and-order conservative, an eagerly practicing capitalist, an ideological libertarian. I accept enthusiastically the whole package of US Republican Party policy and sentiment - pro-America, pro-victory in Iraq, pro-gun, anti-abortion (with sensible reservations), pro-death penalty, pro-tax cuts, pro-smaller government, pro-spreading democracy and freedom throughout the world, pro-Israel, anti-welfare - all [...] Read more »

A recent spat on the Chris Matthew’s television program (“Dancing with the Stars” we believe?) has provided a splendid micro-study of the various bankruptcies which characterize the low-state of political debate currently at play in the last best hope of mankind. May God help us all.

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 »

Which comes first, democracy or security?
It’s a trick question, like the one about the chicken and egg. The truth is they must come simultaneously.
And ay, there’s (as Hamlet would say) the rub, because in chaotic third-world nations—Pakistan comes immediately to mind, of course—the two exist in very uneasy and difficult-to-implement equilibrium.
Democracy requires a certain [...] Read more »

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.

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.

Christianity is a difficult subject for me on many levels.
