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

Flotilla of Fools vs. Israeli Navy

Like a scene straight from the pages of Jean Raspail’s The Camp of the Saints, a group of activists calling themselves the “Freedom Flotilla” have attempted — and evidently, failed — to break the Israeli blockade of Hamas-held Gaza: The Israeli Navy made its first contact with a flotilla carrying hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists and […]

Two Kinds of Jews

Philip Klein explains:  [T]he difference between a Jewish liberal and a Jewish conservative is that when a Jewish liberal walks out of the Holocaust Museum, he feels, “This shows why we need to have more tolerance and multiculturalism.” The Jewish conservative feels, “We should have killed a lot more Nazis, and sooner.” Exactly so, and […]

Blame Glenn Beck

A liberal warns us that extremist right-wing racists are taking over . . . Israel! [T]he Netanyahu coalition is the product of frightening, long-term trends in Israeli society: an ultra-Orthodox population that is increasing dramatically, a settler movement that is growing more radical and more entrenched in the Israeli bureaucracy and army, and a Russian […]

Who Is Rachel Tabachnick, and Why Is She Attacking Phyllis Chesler?

Pamela Geller in NewsMax: U.S.-Israeli relations have hit a 35-year low over the contentious east Jerusalem building project. Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren said, “Israel’s ties with the United States are in their worst crisis since 1975 . . . a crisis of historic proportions.” R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. in The American Spectator: Historians will some day […]

Why Did Barack Obama Decide to
Stir Up Trouble for Israel Now?

The New Republic: Why Hamas’s “day of rage” over Jerusalem and the Palestinian Authority’s call to gather on the Temple Mount to “save” the Dome of the Rock from non-existent plans to build the Third Temple?
