The New York Times has a story on the return of Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi to Egypt (emphasis mine):

Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an influential Sunni cleric who is banned from the United States and Britain for supporting violence against Israel and American forces in Iraq, delivered his first public sermon here in 50...

Susan Rice’s Illegitimate U.N. Folly

Comments

Posted by    Saturday, February 19, 2011 at 9:25am

To call the performance of the Obama administration at the UN, through Ambassador Susan Rice, “folly” would be far, far too kind.

Mahmoud Abbas, despite repeated U.S. requests, insisted on pressing for a U.N. Security Council resolution declaring Israeli settlement construction “illegal.”  The U.S. vetoed the resolution.

Standing in isolation, all was good.

But the fact is that the...

Is there anything more sickening than senior U.S. diplomats begging the Palestinian Authority delegates at the U.N. to “compromise” with just a Security Council “statement” condemning Israel, rather than a “resolution” condeming Israel?

To which the response from the P.A. delegates was:  “Jump higher,” no compromise for you.

We are not just the weak...

We don’t know the details of the “brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating” of CBS News correspondent Lara Logan in Tahrir Square as the Egyptian crowd celebrated the resignation of Hosni Mubarek, but we know enough.

Among the things we know is that the night before the attack Logan had been accused by Egyptian...

We No Longer Need To Ask “What Did Obama Know About Egypt And When Did He Know It”

I have posted before about how “[t]he administration’s complete obsession with Obamacare” manifested itself in a “neglect and disregard” of the troubles brewing in the Middle East.

Now we have confirmation that there were explicit warnings to the Obama administration about the likelihood of trouble in Egypt, as reported by The Wall Street Journal:

Did Israel Just Admit To Creating Stuxnet?

It has not received much attention in the U.S. media, perhaps because we are more concerned with our national debt spinning out of control than the spinning of Iranian centrifuges.

But news reports abroad indicate that the outgoing commander of the Israel Defense Forces may have admitted that Israel created the...

Now that Sarah Palin has invoked the 3 a.m. phone call (which she says went to an answering machine when Egypt was calling), it is worth looking at the original Hillary advertisement, which touched on the doubts so many have about Obama:

I wish I had written such a post, but instead I happened upon it via an e-mail sent from a relative.  And it was at HuffPo, of all places.

Rarely have I seen someone hit the hypocrisy of the anti-Israel movement the way David Suissa does in Israel’s Never Looked So Good.

Has It Ever Been About Palestine?

Not really. 

Here’s Jon Podhoretz’s take on the recent troubles in Egypt, It’s never been about Palestine:

The anti-Mubarak revolution won’t only topple an authoritarian regime. It will also topple 40-plus years of wrong-headed thinking about the causes of Middle East instability among the world’s foreign-policy cognoscenti.

In that view, the horrible...
