Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
This is the public outreach YouTube site for the Israel Defense Forces. Bookmark it, send it to your friends, check it often. Here is the latest IDF real time video from the ship boarding, showing the “peace” activists in full fury: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6sAEYpHF24[/youtube] The West is being played — although perhaps
Continue readingWe were at the symphony last night, for an evening of Ravel. I’m not particularly a fan of Ravel, so I did my best to zone out as much as possible. I read in the program the conductor last night had won some sort of UNESCO honor. I amused myself
Continue readingI can’t find a date on this speech, but I’m pretty sure it’s not recent. It came to me from a relative in Israel. It shows a member of the UN Watch castigating the UN’s Human Rights Council for its manifest disregard of all human rights but for those purportedly
Continue readingI’m unversed in UN arcana, but I’m pretty sure that nothing in its mandate gives it the right to investigate and report on affordable housing in the U.S. Of course, in keeping with the immediately preceding post I did about the prevalence of false news, maybe this is a hoax
Continue readingSadie sent me a great trio of stories today, and I want to pass them on to you: The UN wants to make sure that the Western nation’s efforts to protect themselves against cross-dressing jihadists (you know, those guys who don burqas to hide bombs) don’t offend transgendered individuals (who
Continue readingI’ve long been a Netanyahu fan — going back to the 1970s. He is a brilliant man, a strong executive, an effective communicator, and, as he showed at the UN, he has a moral compass. Obama could take lessons: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44HkjBDQz_k[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofIwsB7xDm8[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gkjEUjK4as[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPEdIWa5H9k[/youtube]
Continue readingI have a bunch of open tabs on my monitor, so I’m just going to jumble all of the stuff here, in one post: On Obama, the UN, and the World: I noted yesterday that Obama seems to have a huge problem with the more democratic nations in the world,
Continue readingWhen it comes to Obama’s speech before the UN, Brett Schaefer and Nile Gardiner are both kind enough to attribute to naivete what I’m increasingly sure is a malignant combination of anti-American feeling and antisemitism. In the same vein, Paul, at PowerLine, a blogger who has tried to be level-headed
Continue readingIt will be interesting to see how Obama’s talks with Netanyahu go. Netanyahu is light years ahead of Obama in terms of intelligence and experience. Obama, however, has dense ideological filaments in his brain that may render him incapable of deviating from his biases. In other words, I doubt that
Continue readingThe head of the UN General Assembly just called Israel an “apartheid” state. In other words, Israel is emblematic of evil in the world. I’ve finally realized what the problem is: Israel has a mixed population. Think about it: Iraq expelled her Jews and hounded her Christians into obscurity. Saudi
Continue readingJust yesterday, I harked back to and updated an old post that commented, in part, on the fact that the UN is saved from ultimate malevolence only by its gross inefficiency and internal corruption. With perfect timing, this story appeared in today’s news: The U.N. Human Rights Council, frequently accused
Continue readingYmarsakar brought to my attention a post I wrote over three years ago. I’m reprinting a slightly edited version here, not just because I think it describes well the Arab psyche that drives so much of current international politics (and fears) today, but also because I think it does a
Continue readingI ask, because I hope that’s what Israel does when it receives this request.
Continue readingThe title of my post was a fatuous, smarmy expression during its heyday in the 1960s. With the UN “peacekeepers,” though, it’s taken on a whole, horrible new meaning: Sexual abuse of children as young as six by aid workers and United Nations peacekeepers has continued unchecked despite repeated promises
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,
