Israel Naval Blockade Is Legal, According to the U.N.
Tom Gross, an renowned and influential journalist with years of expertise in Middle East reporting, reported on the recent UN commission that found Israel’s naval blockade to be legal, as reported in Israel’s Haaretz newspaper. As he often does, Gross added some great commentary of his own to the story: The Israeli paper Ha’aretz reports that “The... »
Palestinians Rewrite History As Usual… This Time in The Guardian
Gil Ronen had a great piece recently on Arutz 7′s site, exposing Saeb Erekat’s brazen attempt to rewrite history when it came to partition plans and peace efforts prior to the establishment of the State of Israel. Gil Ronen writes: Palestinian Authority negotiator Saeb Erekat penned an opinion piece for the British Guardian last Friday... »
Palestinian Authority Cannot Declare Independent State
With all the recent chatter about the possibility of the Palestinian Authority declaring a Palestinian state independently of any negotiations with Israel, Dan Izenberg (at times referencing Dore Gold) has written a clear, concise analysis in the Jerusalem Post outlining exactly why the PA cannot do so by current conventions. He points out that although... »
Palestinian Apartheid
Sol Stern wrote a great piece highlighting the hypocrisy of the Palestinians when it comes to hurling accusations of “apartheid”. He casts a spotlight onto a fact of Palestinian society that most of the media choose to conveniently ignore: that the Palestinian refugee camps are clearly an unnecessary societal extreme and mostly only exists... »
Richard Goldstone: Naïf, Idiot, or Excrement-Peddler?
...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... »
Goldstone Fire Still Rages, Peace Process Still Hangs In The Balance
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... »
Iranian Pot Calling Israeli Kettle Black
The cojones on these Iranian loudmouths is always good for some chuckles. YNet is reporting that Iran’s ambassador to UN is demanding that the Security Council take action in response to Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh’s recent comments that Israel would attack Iran if sanctions weren’t in place by Christmas. Iran’s ambassador to... »
Glenn Beck & John Bolton Analyze Obama’s Radical UN Speech
This clip from two weeks ago recently caught my attention and I think it’s absolutely amazing how Glenn Beck and John Bolton so clearly verbalize so much of what was wrong with Obama’s recent speech to the UN. Watching this video, you can’t help but see through the veneer and recognize the radical departure... »
Twilight Zone: Disarming Israel
Bret Stephens writes a very poignant piece in today’s WSJ, bringing us “news from the future”… a mock news report from next January recounting how Iran, with the help of the UN, turned the tables on Israel and brought the spotlight of nuclear development to shine suddenly into Israel’s long-dark corner of the world.... »
Netanyahu Warns: Accepting Goldstone Will End The Peace Process
In a justifiably bold move, Netanyahu announced today that if the Goldstone Report is accepted and endorsed by the UN Human Rights Council following the vote tomorrow by the 47 member countries of the council, the peace process is effectively over. He said in a televised speech, “I hope a majority ... »
Obama or Qaddafi: Whose Speech Was Crazier?
Mark Steyn’s latest column pointing out the craziness of Obama’s speech at the United Nations is a great read. Here’s an excerpt, but read it in full if possible: Half a decade or so back, I wrote: “It’s a good basic axiom that if you take a quart of ice cream and a quart... »
Qaddafi’s UN Comedy
This vermin may be a low-life, despicable, murderous terrorist, but at least his appearances are not without some form of entertainment. The New York Post reports some strange anecdotes surrounding his United Nations appearance: After struggling to turn Khadafy’s insane ramblings at the UN into English for 75 minutes, the Libyan dictator’s personal interpreter... »
Netanyahu To UN: “Have You No Shame?”
In what is obviously a rhetorical question, Netanyahu today slammed the United Nations General Assembly, asking them “have you no shame?” for giving Holocaust-denier Ahmadinejad a forum to speak. View the clip here: And here is the full speech, in four parts: »
Aggressor’s Rights
Paul H. Robinson, a professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania, and the co-author of “Law Without Justice: Why Criminal Law Does Not Give People What They Deserve” (Oxford, 2006), has written an excellent piece in the Wall Street Journal today describing the huge flaw in the international legal system in which victims... »
UN Goldstone Report Gathers More Critics
The United Nations’ anti-Israel, biased Goldstone Report is still generating press. In the latest news, the Washington Post is reporting that the United States has rejected a UN proposal to compel Israel and Hamas to conduct internal investigations in response to their travesty of a report, under threat of facing possible prosecution in an... »

I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...]
Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...]
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]
