Tweet For the time being, I’m going to keep this floating to the top of my blog. New content will appear below. Be warned that there’s a 5 second load time for this.  Wisely, considering the hacking Israeli websites are experiencing, the Israeli Defense Force site, which hosts this counter, checks browsers before loading content.

Tweet The first casualty of war is truth . . . and truth is never more at risk than in a war against an Islamo-Leftist enemy.  Since the Israeli offensive began, social media and major news and television sites have been overrun with faked images purporting to show Israeli soldiers caught in the act of [...]

Have Liberals (including religious Liberals) lost their capacity to distinguish between Good and Evil?

Tweet Yesterday, I wrote about those rare individuals who can rise above fear in a terrorist state to become part of the solution, rather than a mere victim of the problem.  With perfect timing, a friend sent me an article from the Times of Israel, about Mosab Hasson Yousef, a young man of unusual moral [...]

Tweet When the Left talks about “the children,” they only mean certain children.  For example, the useful idiots working at the New York Times have never waxed lyrical about the Israeli children killed in pizza parlors, in their homes, or at bus stops.  They’ve never expressed concern about the thousands of missiles that periodically rain [...]

Tweet Another powerful Danny Ayalon video.  Watch it, then, please, please, please share it with people. (Or view it here if it doesn’t load on my webpage.) Incidentally, will it make you feel better to know that Danny Ayalon, reciting just the facts set forth in the above video, is causing some embarrassment for the [...]

Tweet Others have said it, but I like best the way Evelyn Gordon said it.  After confirming the historic accuracy of Newt’s claim (namely, that Arabs moved into the land at the end of the 19th century, rather than having lived there since time immemorial), Gordon goes on: One might ask why this should matter: [...]

Tweet Thin and pale, but Gilad Shalit is home at last.  To bring this beloved child (beloved of parents and of country) home, Israel released over a thousand Palestinian murderers and would-be murderers.  Many mourn that these killers are back on the streets, and rightly so.  I hope that Israel has drones hovering over them [...]

Tweet Are you familiar with Achmed the Dead Terrorist?  Jeff Dunham, a ventriloquist, came up with a skeleton-shaped dummy named Achmed.  Achmed is a self-identified terrorist, with the catch-phrase “I kill you.”  Here, see for yourself: Now that you’ve familiarized yourself with Achmed, read this bit of wisdom from the Palestinian representative to the UN: [...]

Tweet Bill Whittle narrates this clear summation of 20th and 21st century relations between Arabs and Jews in the Middle East.  It does not reflect well on the Arabs:

Tweet Pro-Palestinian putzes have consistently claimed that if Israel would just bend a little more, and still a little more, then there would be peace in the Middle East.  The execrable President Carter (I always affix that adjective to this loathsome human being) now claims that he’s being forced to urge a UN vote for [...]

Tweet Me, at Pajamas Media: I challenge you to find a news report with more layers, all of them misleading, than an ostensibly unbiased San Francisco Chronicle “news” article about a canceled art exhibition at the Museum of Children’s Art in Oakland, California. The story’s core is uncomplicated: The museum agreed with an organization called the [...]

Tweet If we’re going to do a Right of Return, I think we should be methodical.  Those who had first dibs on the land currently known as Israel get first dibs today.  Let’s work our way down the list: The first known occupiers were probably the Canaanites.  As far as I know, there are no [...]

Tweet If you haven’t watched it already, please see Bibi’s remarks, which very, very politely explain to Obama that his speech yesterday was horse poop.

Tweet Obama is supposed to be hot stuff when it comes to communicating.  I’ve long had my doubts, but his reference in today’s speech to Israel’s 1967 borders should put to rest forever the media created canard that this is a guy who can get his points across.  You know why?  Because he committed the [...]

Tweet The world’s useful idiots never get it.  Israel targets Palestinian soldiers, and is terribly troubled when she inadvertently kills the civilians amongst whom the fighters hide.  The Palestinians deliberately target civilians, and try to kill the largest number possible.  Today, they succeeded: A bus explosion in Jerusalem has caused dozens of casualties, police said [...]

Tweet On Facebook, I linked to Bret Stephens’ article about the slaughter of the Fogel family in Israel (which is behind a pay wall).  In it, Stephens says that we in the West have essentially dehumanized the Palestinians by giving them a free pass for acting on their baser instincts: I have a feeling that [...]

Tweet If there is one defining characteristic of liberals, it is their sense that they are better than everyone else.  Nowhere was that more explicitly illustrated than in Ron Schiller’s comments: In my personal opinion, liberals today might be more educated, fair and balanced than conservatives. Schiller wasn’t unique, just unguarded.  The whole point of [...]

Tweet YouTube decided to shut down the Palestinian Media Watch (“PMW”) account, because it shows heinous and disgusting videos.  The problem with YouTube’s decision is that PMW doesn’t create these heinous and disgusting videos.  Instead, they are products of the Palestinian media, and PMW makes them available so that Americans can see their tax dollars [...]

Tweet I spoke this weekend to a law enforcement agent who works in domestic counter terrorism.  He said what we all know:  one of the ways in which Islamic radicals recruit previously apathetic young men is through sex.  Not actual sex, but the manufactured sex of rock videos.  In other words, terrorist recruiters have figured [...]

Tweet I really shouldn’t pick on Tom Friedman.  If he was the average idiot holding forth in a bar or living room, I probably wouldn’t.  But this average idiot has a forum — the New York Times — that gives him license to spread his stupidity to a much wider audience than is made available [...]
