Immediately following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Israel flew an incredible amount of doctors and equipment there (more so than any other country, proportionately speaking)—some of the best and most advanced technology—and made an incredible difference in the aftermath. While most critics of Israel at least acknowledged the humanitarianism and generosity of the country, there are [...]
I couldn’t help but seethe as I read a recent “news alert” from Reuters AlertNet, loaded with an unbelievable amount of spin and bias. The story involves Muslims hurling rocks at Jews from above, as the Jews pray below harmlessly at the Western Wall. Note that these large rocks (sometimes euphemized as “stones”) can cause—and have [...]
CNN is reporting that the Dubai police chief said that the Mossad “needs to be ashamed” after the assassination Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. His statement was: The Mossad needs to be ashamed of its actions… They sent 26, 27 persons to assassinate one man who was involved in the capturing and killing of two Israeli solders. So, let me [...]
Naked Emperor News has compiled what has to be one of the most hearty meals of crow that the Dems are going to have to eat right now, as they all continue to babble on about using the “nuclear option” to ram their corpulent health care obscenity through Congress. This beautiful compilation includes an all-star cast [...]
About two weeks ago, Michael Oren, the Israeli ambassador to the United States came to the University of California at Irvine to speak, by invitation of the university’s faculty. Muslim hecklers in the crowd interrupted him almost a dozen times, to the point where Professor Mark Petracca, chairman of the university’s Political Science department, issued [...]

The AP is reporting that Facebook has decided to keep dead people as members as a matter of policy. In fact, they have drawn up a list of modifications to the account to accommodate obvious issues with it being owned by a dead person, such as: —The site will remove any contact information. —The site will... »
Conservative politicians have been saying this for the longest time: keep raising taxes and those who foot the biggest chunk of the bill are going to pack up and move where the burden is lighter. Well, now it’s backed up by some serious research: the Empire Center for New York State Policy (part of the... »
No wonder why things are continuing to get worse! Because Obama is too busy doing one of two things: (1) complaining about the mess he “inherited” to anyone who’ll listen; and… (2) playing sports. Politico is reporting that Obama has already played his twenty-fourth round of golf since becoming president… a number which took George W. Bush... »
When it comes to Palestinians there is a monumental double standard in the world, such that Israel gets condemned right and left for their supposed “treatment” of the Palestinians, while Arab countries get a complete free pass for doing the exact same things (and often worse). Squalid Palestinian refugee camps are not only found in... »
Susan G. Komen for the Cure just narrowly escaped from a major PR problem. They are holding a conference in Alexandria, Egypt which is being touted as an example of “unprecedented cooperation” in the region. The only problem with that regional cooperation is that Israeli doctors and participants were disinvited at the last minute by... »
The Boston Globe has this doozy of a story: The western Massachusetts university town of Amherst is mulling a resolution urging the Congress to release cleared Guantanamo Bay detainees into the United States and calling for the town to welcome those detainees into the community. The town’s Select Board voted 2-1 Monday night to endorse a... »
Has the Obama Worldwide Apology Tour now been replaced by the Obama Worldwide Snub Tour? He recently snubbed Tibet when he became the first president since 1991 to refuse to meet (even briefly) with the Dalai Lama, and now he cancelled his trip to Germany to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of... »
...or all three? Richard Goldstone, having read the draft of today's United Nations resolution which was ultimately approved later in the day—officially endorsing his virulent, anti-Semitic, slanderous report—is reported to have said, "This draft resolution saddens me as it includes only allegations against Israel. There is not a single phrase condemning Hamas as we have... »
Ronen Bergman wrote a great analytical piece in the WSJ yesterday regarding Hezbollah’s strength. Following the 2006 Lebanon War, all indications were that Hezbollah came out the winner and was only growing in military strength and political clout. Bergman gives us several reasons why this semi-victory was very short-lived and why Hezbollah appears to be... »
Turkey has been ramping up its anti-Israel rhetoric and anti-Semitism in recent months. This has been evident for a while in the news, with many Turkish diplomats (all the way up to the Prime Minister) slamming Israel, snubbing Israel, etc. (e.g., Turkey recently banning Israel from a joint NATO air force drill). Now, though, this growing... »
Apparently Ralph Lauren has no idea what a woman is, at least not the typical woman. The women in his world apparently have heads bigger than their waists and apparently subsist on several grains of rice per day. So, naturally, when one of his models makes the mistake of letting herself look normal, she... »
The despicable Goldstone Report is still very much in the news, as the United Nations picks up the debate on the report again today. The wishy-washy Palestinians who can’t make up their minds whether they want their human rights violations aired out or not are currently pressing for the debate (as opposed to recently... »
It seems to have become “official” in the last few weeks. Obama and his administration have decided to vilify and ostracize Fox News, the nations premier news organization boasting viewer ratios of 2:1 and greater over most other news channels, and viewers from every part of the political spectrum. With those numbers, this is one... »
Bret Stephens writes a thought-provoking piece in the WSJ today explaining why Obama might be the perfect pick for the Nobel Peace Prize after all (see my previous post). The problem is that we’re thinking of the prize’s winner using our own criteria, while, in reality, the criteria used by the Nobel Committee is entirely... »
