“To me the greatest issue in this part of the world is not deserting Israel.”
- Sir Winston Churchill
There is at present but one flag upon Earth’s moon; for only a society which values the liberty and enterprise this flag represents could achieve such a miracle. That flag yet stands alone, a colorful […]

Proving yet again that you can be a smart and politically-aware German intellectual type and still not have the slightest idea what the Berlin Wall was, photographer Kai Wiedenhoefer and his Left and Green Party supporters in Berlin’s Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district will be exhibiting an exhibition which will equate the West Bank “Wall” with the Berlin […]

I grew up loving Israel unquestioningly.  I come from a Christian fundamentalist background, so, much the Wahabi, I believed what I was told.  It was not until I saw Paradise Now, the groundbreaking Palestinian film, that my opinions on the matter become more open.  This is a film about that happening in the life of […]

It’s true! Would hysterical conservatives lie to you about a Godless Muslim Koran-fondling wild man like Scary Barry? A man who doesn’t always wear a flag pin on his lapel? That was mighty careless of him. You’d think the Anti-Christ would be a little more devious than that. Since Christ was clearly a white American, […]

Why is this hue and cry about anti Islamic Dutch film? How long will the Muslims keep on nagging to the world about their suffering? How long one fifth of the world’s population think themselves to be inefficient? This moral lethargy of the community makes the world believe that Islam promotes violence and hatred towards […]

Many Israelis view this solution as an anti-Semitic attempt to destroy Israel. However, as I have mentioned in a previous article on my blog, this is not a new idea at all. The idea was entertained by the well-known Jewish philosophers, Martin Buber and Judah Magnes in the 1920’s. The history of […]

Every day, Sderot–the little town near the Gaza Strip in Western Israel–is hit with countless Qassam Rockets. Some days only a few rockets are fired, at random, into the streets of Sderot. Other days several dozen fall down amongst the heads of the civilian population there. It’s […]

Enough with the sack stuff. The real eye opener about Eliot Spitzer isn’t his compulsion to heave ho, but his willingness to disguise payments via an international criminal enterprise that specialized in money laundering. To make matters worse, Governor Spitzer had presidential ambitions. Meaning a guy with exploitable criminal connections might have wound up in […]

Unrivalled Churchill biographer and dear friend, Sir Martin Gilbert got it wrong in a recent interview with the Jerusalem Post. In it he elaborates upon parallels between the free world’s appeasement of Iran and the free world’s appeasement of Nazi Germany seventy years ago. Sir Martin notes that by the time Hitler […]

The terrible tragedy that occurred at Mercaz Harav in Jerusalem has raised strong emotions amongst the adherents of right wing religious Zionism. They blame the left wing in Israel for the murder. This message was so clear because of the rough treatment given to Prof Yuli Tamir the Minister of Education, when […]

It’s raining in Israel.  You won’t hear about it on the weather channel, though, because it’s not your typical rain.  Sadly, the fact that rockets are raining down on the Israeli town of Sderot won’t be easily found on the regular news either.  No, it is more likely you will hear about actual rainfall in Sderot […]

French President Nicolas Sarkozy wants all fifth-graders in his country to be “entrusted with the memory” of one of the 11,000 Jewish children who were deported to Auschwitz and other death camps in eastern Europe during the Nazi occupation of France. Speaking to French Jews at a dinner in Perigueux, Sarkozy said, “Nothing is more […]

The Palestinians are accusing Israel of “collective punishment”. This is true in many cases. However, the reverse is also true. Palestinians are also carrying out “collective punishment” against Israelis. One has to see the havoc in Sderot with the Qassam rockets being fired. Recently two suicide bombers made their way into Dimona. […]

Last week, Ezra Levant called the Alberta Human Rights Commission every name in the book: a “kangeroo court”; “part Kafka, part Stalin”; a “joke”, a “sick joke”; a “pseudo-court like Judge Judy”. Levant, publisher of the Western Standard, said it was “perverted” that a so-called human rights commission was violating his human rights. Levant even […]

“I never worry about action, but only about inaction.” -Sir Winston Churchill
Jews flee their homes amid increasing state persecution.  A belligerent little dictator arms his nation against the will of the international community, promising genocide. The Western powers, befuddled by their own notions of “keeping the peace” and cultural deference, do nothing.

Trust between Israel and Hamas is non-existent. Israel views Hamas’s tentative attempts at an all-embracing cease-fire as a respite working in their (Hamas’s) favour in order to re-group after the heavy losses they suffered, and carry out another round of terrorism against Israel. They need a period of quiet in order to […]
