Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
The New York Times again gave a forum to Jimmy Carter. This time Carter defends his immoral, illegal decision to consort with terrorists, something that would be objectionable if the ordinary private citizen were to do it, but that rises to outrageous levels of indecency when a former President does
Continue readingOne of the common tropes on the Left is that the insanely land-hungry Jews have crowded the Gazans onto an impossibly small strip of land as part of their plan to commit genocide against the Palestinian people. As with so many of the attacks against Israel, this is false, and
Continue readingI was trolling through the internet this morning and came upon a New York Times article entitled “In Gaza, Hamas’s Insults to Jews Complicate Peace.” Hmm, insults . . . . Are those things like “You’re ugly and your mother dresses you funny,” or “Those jeans make you look fat,”
Continue readingThe accepted wisdom is that the intense hatred the Palestinians feel for Jews is a direct result of Jewish annexation of the West Bank and Gaza after the 1967 War. Of course, as with most propaganda, this is false. Aside from conveniently ignoring the 1956 and 1948 Wars, not to
Continue readingIn today’s Guardian, there is a glowing review of Ron Paul, particularly with regard to Paul’s stance on American support for Israel: If that weren’t enough, when the House of Representatives was recently passing another denunciation of Palestinian violence, Paul refused to support it. He abhorred all attacks on civilians,
Continue readingIn the Leftist world of moral equivalence, there is no right or wrong, there are just cycles, with everything being a meaningless tit-for-tat. In this world, you simply assign blame, not by conduct and intent, but by Leftist assigned “level of oppression.” HonestReporting has a good little video exposing the
Continue readingStarting with a recent poll taken of Palestinians — one that showed that, despite the Gaza withdrawal, they fully support increased killings in Israel — Richard Baehr has written an exceptionally good article examining the Palestinians. For me to analyze it or try to summarize it would be a waste

Continue readingSpiegel, a German magazine that is not known for its friendliness to either America or Israel, has a quite amazing story today about a Gazan woman, pregnant with twins, who was allowed to enter Israel for treatment of her complications. While there, she was exposed to the same Israelis who
Continue readingNormally, when a gunman enters a school and treats students like birds in a turkey shoot, the media covers the matter obsessively, dwelling for days on the horror of those trapped in the carnage — and this is true whether the shooting takes place at home or abroad. Such was
Continue readingThis moment of moral clarity wasn’t exactly what CNN interviewer, Fionnuala Sweeney, was seeking. She was trying to use the seminary slaughter as yet another talking point in the “Palestinians as pushed-to-the-limit victims of Israeli aggression” line of thinking. Unfortunately for her, and fortunately for CNN viewers, interviewee David Horovitz
Continue readingThese are happy Palestinians: You can see more wildly happy Palestinians here. This is why they are having a celebratory party, complete with drums, bagpipes, guns and babies: You can see more examples of the images and facts that give the Palestinians their jollies here and here. Do you still
Continue readingI noted a couple of posts ago that the UN, predictably, is up in arms about the fact that Israel finally took action against the militants firing rockets at civilians. I’m sure, though, that the UN will greet with mind-numbing silence the fact that terrorists invaded a school in Jerusalem
Continue readingMy father, who was a veteran of World War II and the Israeli War of Independence, was still alive during the first Gulf War. I vividly remember his comment that it was idiotic how much the press made of how nice Americans were and how our troops were so good
Continue readingA repeated thread in the comments lately has been the claim that the reason the terrorists are mean to us is because we’re mean to them. If we behaved more “morally,” they would inevitably yield to our good example. My response to this kind of argument has always been the
