Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Nidra Poller writes about an aggressive anti-Semitic group on the rise in France. The whole article is depressing, but I'd like to take special note of the article's conclusion: Outside the ORT school, where the minister met with residents, a dapper gray-haired shop owner said, with dignified regret, “It’s over
Continue readingPeople bound and determined to hasten the destruction of Israel will always say "I'm not anti-Semitic; just anti-Zionist." Dennis Prager exposes this lie for what it is. This is just one strand of the argument: Judaism has always consisted of three components: God, Torah and Israel, roughly translated as faith,
