Obama’s “Triple Play” Chutzpah

Nothing like a Friday news dump: "Obama Blows Off Congress, Funds Palestinians, Lies About PA Stance on Israel"
Andrew McCarthy of National Review Online is reporting (and calling it a "Triple Play"), via the foreign press because our American news organizations are either disinterested or busy expressing its own anti-Israel bias, that Obama has, once again, [...]

CNN the Castro-Crescent News Network

Frankly, the alliance of the communist left and radical Islam gives me nightmares. I first became aware of this frightening trend years ago when my husband and  I noticed a definite anti-Israel bias in LA Times articles on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.   Always, always, these biased articles were penned by liberals, supposedly the tolerant, peace loving defenders [...]

Bibi rejects the New York Times

In the spirit of the season, a very Happy Hanukkah gift from Bibi Netanyahu.  It's a thorough dressing down of the unethical rag--enjoy!
From Aish.com
Bibi Rejects the New York Times
by Ron Dermer, Senior Advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister
Why Netanyahu refuses to publish an op-ed in the so-called “newspaper of record.”
 Ron Dermer is a senior [...]

The Arrogant Amateur: “I try not to pat myself too much on the back…”

Hope it doesn't hurt his golf swing straining his arm like that...
It is really hard to see, after the last three years, why Obama's approval with Jews is on the rise in, of all places, Israel. He has willingly supported the sham the "Arab Spring" that has removed despots in countries that were either contained [...]

Homecoming

After being held hostage in Gaza for five years Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit is finally released and returning home to his devoted family in Israel.
Apparently the deal involved a prisoner exchange with Palestinians.
One IDF soldier for 1,027 Palestinian prisoners (terrorists).
TEL NOF AIR FORCE BASE, Israel — Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit returned to Israel [...]

Netanyahu: I Didn’t Kill The Peace Process, Mr. Clinton

Bill Clinton has tried to pawn-off blame on Israel and PM Netanyahu for the failure of peace in the Middle East. I recall Clinton's last attempt before leaving office to finally broker a peace between Israel and the Palestinians. I recall Israel offering everything being asked of them, and then it being refused. That is [...]

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu Extends Israel’s Hand in Peace at The UN General Assembly … Again

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas spoke before Netanyahu at the U.N., and made the usual incitement rhetoric about Israel while asking the U.N. to recognize it's statehood but was adamant about not recognizing Israel as the Jewish state.

Cuba, Venezuela and Iran Align Against Israel at The U.N.

VIENNA -- Iran was praised and Israel criticized Wednesday at a 151-nation meeting, with Cuba and Venezuela defending Tehran's right to run a nuclear program and Syria saying the Jewish state's undeclared nuclear arsenal is a threat to world peace.
The two Latin American nations are among Tehran's greatest supporters and Washington's strongest detractors, depicting it [...]

Stating Reality: The Palestinian’s Declaring Statehood Could Mean A Loss in The States for Obama

The Palestinians are all pumped-up to meet the U.N. head-on and declare a Palestinian state for themselves. So who does the Palestinian Authority choose to send to the U.N. to speak out for a recognized state? The "mother of seven prisoners and of the Shahid (Martyr) Abd Al-Mun'im Abu Hmeid." Four of those sons are [...]

I See a Bad Moon Rising…

From "Arab Spring" to Islam Rising. I'm shocked. SHOCKED! I tell ya. All these spontaneous uprisings and revolutions for "democracy" ... not so much. It appears the MSM is taking Obama's example and leading from behind ... again.
From the Washington Post:
TRIPOLI, Libya — For decades, bearded men in Libya were afraid to walk in the [...]

“Jerusalem Is Not a Settlement. It’s Our Capital” … UPDATE – Binyamin Netanyahu says, ‘No apology to Turkey’

The Obama Administration's refusal to list "Jerusalem, Israel" in documents and photos in its archives has taken a very ominous and unethical turn. Commentary Magazine is reporting now the Obama State Department is "scrubbing" the "Jerusalem, Israel" designations from George W. Bush Administration archives in a forged, if you will, 'they did it too' attempt [...]

Palestinians want their own state and vote with their feet

My friend, Israeli journalist Alexander Maistrovoy on Palestinian statehood.
 Palestinians want their own state and vote with their feet
 "In a war of ideas, it is people who get killed". (Stanislaw Jerzy Lec)
History knows many proofs of the famous proverb: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". High-minded dreams of some result in sweat, tears [...]

The Obama – Muslim Brotherhood Kumbaya…

Just before the long holiday weekend there was something so interesting that developed it had to be pretty much buried by the MSM with wall-to-wall coverage of the Casey Anthony murder trial. Just in case you were parked on your sofa watching the trial, or slaving over a smokey grill poolside, you should know that [...]

Alien Life-Forms in Hollywood

A few years ago I was informed you will find lots of conservatives working in Hollywood. They're either "in the closet", or working in that wide zone out of camera range. But we are seeing more and more come out of said closet. Your actors are a minority, yes, but when it comes down to [...]

In All Reality This Is Not “Peace” … It Is Laying in Wait

There is no doubt Israel is the strongest, if not the only, one true democracy in the Middle East. All the alleged democracies in the region have had their respective governments toppled, or are in the process of having them ousted. Let's not fool ourselves. The shouts of "democracy" and "freedom" are a farce, as [...]

Holocaust Remembrance Day 2011

Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day (Yom Hashoah in Hebrew) is a national day of commemoration in Israel, on which the six million Jews, among them 1.5 million children  were murdered in the Shoah while the world remained silent. It is a solemn day, beginning at sunset on the 27th of the month of Nisan (May [...]

Whose “friendship” is more dangerous?

Opinion from Israel on events in the Middle East from my friend Alexander Maistrovoy, a Israeli journalist:
Russia is probably not a friend of Israel, but much less dangerous than the West
"Another Tack: Kremlin or Canossa?" is the name of Sarah Honig's article in Jerusalem Post about Binyamin Netanyahu’s visit to Moscow. I agree with Sarah [...]

You Can’t Always Get What You Want, But Sometimes You Just Might Find You Get What’s Decreed

Wow! So much has transpired since Tunisia and Egypt tossed out their nasty dictators, huh? Yemen is on the brink of ousting their leadership (and somebody that has been a strong ally to us in the hunt for terrorists) once again upon the demands of the Obama administration. Jordan and Saudi Arabia are literally tip-toeing [...]

The False Democracy in The Falling Arab Nation Dominos

I found this quite interesting, and it lends a bit more weight to Iran being one of the major influences in the current 'rebellions' in the Arab/Muslim countries.
We have hashed-out Egypt. As "rebels" increase their protests in Yemen, the president is suggesting he might step down ... Yemen being not only one of our allies [...]

Updated – Oh Brother(hood)

I'm not going to say a word (such as ,"I told ya so..."). Talk amongst yourselves.
I'll just go stand over here and keep an eye on Libya, Syria, Yemen ... Israel ...
CAIRO — In post-revolutionary Egypt, where hope and confusion collide in the daily struggle to build a new nation, religion has emerged as a [...]
