Two must-reads from National Review Online
Jonah Goldberg on the disgrace that is the U.N. Charles Krauthammer on the misnamed “Arab Spring,” which is really an Islamist ascendency.

Jonah Goldberg on the disgrace that is the U.N. Charles Krauthammer on the misnamed “Arab Spring,” which is really an Islamist ascendency.
Continue readingOthers 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
Continue readingOver the years, I helped win at least two major cases because I re-framed the debate. In one case, a will contest case, the opposing party claimed that our client, a housekeeper, had committed fraud and elder abuse in order to inveigle a little old lady into leaving the housekeeper

Muammar Qaddafi from its Human Rights Council, North Korea wins the propaganda coup of heading the world’s disarmament agency,” the executive director of UN Watch Hillel Neuer said in a statement

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 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 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 readingI blogged here about the group that presented a report to the UN to point out what many of us have already realized: Muslims are using declarations of human rights as a way to shut down all religions and speech but theirs. Patrick, my favorite Paragraph Farmer, took that dry
