You would think that after his party's ugly platform vote on the floor of the DNC convention Obama would at least try to show he was sincere in his support of Israel by having a meeting requested by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. But no... The White House's response marks a new low in relations between [...]

Lots of background on this back and forth today between Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Oren at The Washington Examiner.

President Obama's re-election campaign now includes a group, Rabbis for Obama to help shore up the Jewish vote.   William Kristol, founder and editor of  The Weekly Standard knows, as more and more members of the Jewish community are realizing, that Obama's policy toward Israel has not continued the traditional U.S. position as an ally of the Jewish state. [...]

I've struggled seeking an answer to that question, as have others here at Babalú.  Robert Wistrich, Hebrew University professor of European and Jewish History, and the leading scholar on anti-Semitism , recently published From Ambivalence to Betrayal:  The Left, the Jews, and Israel. In his review, Isi Leibler concludes:  "This is a magisterial work, providing a comprehensive understanding of [...]

Guri Weinberg has choice words for the IOC and its snubbing of the victims and families of the 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre... Recently, new information about the Munich Massacre at the 1972 Olympic Games was released by German police as a result of pressure from German investigative reporters. It was reported that the “Black September” [...]

Every Olympics (summer or winter) NBC treats us to the background stories on the athletes participating in the games. Sometimes I get the feeling it's a rub-your-nose-in-it-you-selfish-decadent-Americans tone, mostly when it deals with an athlete from a foreign country. (If I had to hear the heart-tugging story of orphaned and abandoned young Russian figure skater [...]

With Mitt Romney traveling abroad Team Obama find themselves re-writing Obama History. By the way, ever notice these people refer to in-their-face facts and truth as "fog"?

Right now Rep. Michelle Bachmann is having a heated back and forth with Rep. Keith Ellison over CAIR and The Muslim Brotherhood in the United States.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
