"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Ron, When You Accuse Israel Of Starting Hamas, You Need To Cite A Good Reference

by Smitty Ron, you can build a case that the history and politics are complicated, and unfortunate, and never moreso than the Middle East. But when you claim that Israel started Hamas as a means of checking Yassir Arafat, you had better back that up. Otherwise, you risk sounding like a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist. [...]

Bibi, You Rock

by Smitty Keep on rockin’, Bibi. Maybe you’ll teach #OccupyResoluteDesk something about leadership, in spite of himself. Via Barbara

Why Does Obama Hate Jews?

Well, Republican Jews, anyway:

VIDEO: Latma Works Out On Bob Dylan ‘The Times, They Are A-Changin’

by Smitty This is one of those that is technically polished, and completely worth your time. Yet somehow the collision of Dylan and Gaza becomes so horrific that you may forget to laugh. via Atlas Shrugs

Israeli Women Nude = Feminist Solidarity

Don’t worry, buddy. It’s safe for work. Just barely. If your boss finds out you’ve been looking at Israeli women nude — that Google bomb’s gotta be worth a little search traffic, right? — just say it’s because you’re a progressive who’s all about feminist solidarity: This is the next logical move for Occupy Wall [...]

Pat Condell Offering Simple, Sad Truth

by Smitty A pitch-perfect delivery, via Da Tech Guy. UPDATE (RSM): The strongest sentence is when Condell says of the Palestinian leaders, “They don’t want peace, they want victory, and the won’t be happy until Israel is wiped from the map.” Palestinian nationalism is a toxic legacy of an era young people don’t remember and [...]

Arguably The Most Precision Bus Toss Since Bismarck

by Smitty I read Showalter’s tome The Wars of German Unification for a War College class: Taken together, three wars served to unify Germany and fundamentally altered the balance of power in 19th-century Europe: the Schleswig-Holstein conflict of 1864; the “Six Weeks’ War” of 1866; and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. They marked the establishment [...]

Goldman Sees The Image Of A Piece Of Toast In Egypt

by Smitty David P. Goldman looks at Egypt and has an ugly conclusion: The result, I predict, will be a humanitarian catastrophe that makes Somalia look like a picnic. It’s not surprising that the Egyptian mob might attack the Israeli embassy. The Egyptian street has nothing to do but rise up against perceived oppressors, because [...]

Genesis 12:3

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee . . .” Disagreements about foreign policy are one thing. Jew-hating is something else. When someone says, “Zionists not welcome,” watch out. Da Tech Guy informs us that some unpleasantness has developed among counter-jihad bloggers, requiring me to say: I’m with [...]

Pacifism and Historical Ignorance

“For a therapeutically inclined generation raised on Oprah and Dr. Phil — and not on the letters of William Tecumseh Sherman and William Shirer’s Berlin Diary — problems between states, like those in our personal lives, should be argued about by equally civilized and peaceful rivals, and so solved without resorting to violence.” – Victor [...]

Sully: Israelis ‘Got Their US Media Mouthpieces’ to Criticize Obama’s Speech

“So it’s pretty obvious that it was the Israelis who immediately got their US media mouthpieces to spin the speech as some sort of attack.” – Andrew Sullivan, May 20 Doug Ross called attention to this rather disturbing accusation: U.S. criticism of President Obama’s speech was not really of domestic origin, Sully says, but rather was [...]

Herman Cain Issues Clarification

Walking back his widely-criticized remarks on Fox News Sunday about the Palestinian “right of return”: I have long been a vocal and unwavering supporter of our friend and ally, Israel. All Israeli governments have rejected the “right” of large numbers of Arabs or Palestinians to return to what is now the state of Israel. Such [...]
