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 »

News Blackout – New York Times Ignores Momentous Pro-Jewish Court Case Win in France

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 »

False Claims Against Israel

Andrew L. Jaffee @ June 30, 2008 # No Comment Yet

This taken from comments by thedoctori on Newsvine:

Did you know that some Palestinians celebrated the 911 atrocity?
Did you know that Palestinians have dressed up babies as homicide bombers?
Did you know that Hamas runs kindergartens for homicide bombers?
Did you know that Hamas’ explosives blew up 15 Palestinians during a parade?

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 »

Equating the Arab-Israeli conflict

Israel Kasnett @ June 25, 2008 # No Comment Yet

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 »

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 »

Hamas officials say truce with Israel is imminent

E.D. Kain @ June 17, 2008 # No Comment Yet

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’s Murky Foreign Policy

E.D. Kain @ June 10, 2008 # 3 Comments

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 »

No Jew-Bashing Allowed

E.D. Kain @ June 10, 2008 # One Comment

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 »

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 »

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 »

The Desert Bloom - An Insult to Human Dignity?

Churchills Parrot @ April 9, 2008 # No Comment Yet

~from Churchill’s Parrot
Reflecting upon the events of Islamo-Fascist Awareness Week, we felt compelled to once again examine the alleged source of all the chanting, frothing, eye-bulging, beheading, suicide-bomb vest-donning, IED-planting, plane-crashing, WMD-seeking passion that is Islamania: the existence of Israel.
At a recent Al Quds Day Celebration (October 5 if you missed it), the “It [...] Read more »

What happened during the Arab riots of 1929?

E.D. Kain @ April 9, 2008 # No Comment Yet

From 1922 through 1928 the relationship between Jews and Arabs in Palestine was relatively peaceful. However, in late 1928 a new phase of violence began with minor disputes between Jews and Arabs about the right of Jews to pray at the Western Wall (Kotel) in Jerusalem.
These arguments led to an outbreak of Arab violence [...] 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 »

The Anatomy of a Qassam

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

Every day, Sderot–the little town near the Gaza Strip in Western Israel–is hit with countless Qassam Rockets. Some days only a few rockets are fired, at random, into the streets of Sderot. Other days several dozen fall down amongst the heads of the civilian population there. It’s hard to believe anyone [...] 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 »

Mideast Peace Agreement Seems Unlikely

Guest Authors @ March 25, 2008 # No Comment Yet

~by Michael A Minton
I have been watching this situation between Israel and the Palestinians for a long time. I was a freelance reporter for Talon News when Condoleeza Rice was named Secretary of State. And I remember her making promises that she would spend however much time was necessary to hammer-out a peace agreement between [...] Read more »
