Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’m on my iPhone, so I’ll be brief. When it comes to Israel, every word Roger L. Simon writes here is absolutely correct. Sadly, I think I’m correct in assuming that Israel will ignore Simon and, instead, listen to “friends” such as Obama, the UN, and the EU.
Continue readingGil-Ad Shaer, Naftali Fraenkel and Eyal Yifrah are dead. This is so unutterably sad because Israel, unlike her enemies, cherishes her children: The bodies of the three Israeli teenager who were kidnapped over two weeks ago were found by security forces in a field northwest of Hebron on Monday afternoon.
Continue readingToday is Nakba Day, the day Muslims the world over violently commemorate the “disaster” that was Israel’s creation. (JoshuaPundit explains what nakba is really about and why it is such a loathsome commemoration.) But here’s something interesting: Even as anti-Israel sentiment burns ever brighter on America’s college campuses, most recently
Continue readingIf you had been at my house when I first saw this video, you would have seen me stand up and cheer. And then cheer some more. Usually, I find it very boring when members of Congress give speeches and press conferences. They’re not orators and they’re often very bad
Continue readingThe Left liked to call George Bush a “cowboy,” implying that there was no telling what he’d do. Even the Left, of course, must have understood that this was a rhetorical trope and that there was no possibility that Bush would ever push the red button and start a nuclear
Continue readingTom Cotton on the Democrats’ “outrage” that Republicans are “politicizing” Benghazi: On the subject of the upcoming hearings, Charles Krauthammer has some good advice: The select committee will be headed by Rep. Trey Gowdy, a skilled 16-year prosecutor. He needs to keep the hearings clean and strictly fact-oriented. Questions only,
Continue readingBack in the early/mid 1970s, I, like every good American Jew, did Israeli folk dancing. Our family was very serious about it, so much so that we’d usually attend the annual get-t0gethers in San Luis Obispo at which the top Israeli choreographers would introduce their new dances for the year.
Continue readingThis post is about the administration’s new tactic to get out from under the painful weight of the Ben Rhodes Benghazi email which establishes pretty definitively that the administration immediately began a cover-up after Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone S. Woods were murdered. But before I
Continue readingWag The Dog was a clever black comedy about a president hiring a Hollywood producer to trick the public into believing there was a war in Albania in order to distract the public from a sex scandal right before an election. The movie came out in 1997, and became forever
Continue readingIn response to my plea for more pictures about Jews as survivors, not victims, Murray Lawrence forwarded me these incredible pictures from his father showing the 1920s in Tel Aviv, when he was working on construction projects there. I’m just blown away by these images. I’ve prefaced each image with
Continue readingIt’s very natural, given what happened to the Jews at Nazi (and Communist and Muslim) hands in just the last 75 years to think of them as victims. But they’re not. They’re survivors, and fighters, and people who have created one of the most stable, dynamic, free, creative, prosperous nations
Continue readingToday is Yom Hashoah — Holocaust Remembrance Day — a day on which Jews and all civilized people around the globe commemorate the 6 million who died at the hands of virulent antisemites. Israel takes this day very seriously. For those unclear on the whole Israel concept (Obama, Kerry, and

Continue readingHarry Truman could have been called an anti-Semite based on some of the things he said about Jews, but it was he who voted “yes” at the UN, making possible Israel’s creation in 1948. Nixon could have been called an anti-Semite based on some of the things he said about
Continue readingReading about Admiral Denton’s rare courage and undiluted patriotism made me realize how profoundly wrong it is that John Kerry has ascended to one of the highest positions in the land, a journey he made through cowardice, slander, and gold-digging marriages. Compare and contrast: For his show of courage in
