Our examination of the shout-down of Ray Kelly at Brown University has moved from the events that day to examining reaction of faculty, including from Political Science Professor Marion Orr who apologized for inviting Kelly, and Biology Professor Ken Miller who issued a forceful denunciation of the shout-down.
Something interesting happened along the way, as...
The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) is a valuable resource on which we frequently rely for news tips and information regarding the Middle East.
I’m not sure how I ended up on CAMERA’s email update list, and I’m not even sure how you could sign up for...
As we’ve noted earlier, much of the media is obsessed with settlements, intent on portraying them as the main obstacle to peace. There’s a tendency on the other side...
I have been following various faculty reactions to the Ray Kelly shout-down, including from Political Science Professor Marion Orr who apologized for inviting Kelly, and Biology Professor Ken Miller who issued a forceful denunciation of the shout-down.
So when I saw an article in The Brown Daily Herald about a faculty panel...
To read through recent news reports one could assume that the biggest obstacle to Palestinian Israeli peace are “settlements.”

But you knew that, because we have been following the antics of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for years.
Earlier this week three were unconfirmed reports of a very large explosion near the Syrian city of Latakia.

In the more recent iterations of the Star Trek television show, there were villains called Cardassians. They were even more ruthless than the Klingons.
They also had a remarkable justice system as is shown in the following dialogue:
Gul Dukat: In Cardassia, the verdict is...
One week ago we posted about how a new website exposed The Truth About Palestinian Rock Throwing.
We featured a video exposing the The Wadi’a Maswadah Hoax, about a 5-year old Palestinian rock thrower allegedly “arrested” by the IDF. In fact, the child was brought to his parents, contrary to media hype,...
The Boycott, Divest and Sanction Israel movement is a Potemkin movement which has the façade of merely opposing the “occupation,” but which in reality seeks the destruction of Israel, and willingly joins with the worst Islamists and anti-Semites in that goal.

Last week in an article On Iran Talks, Congress Could Play ‘Bad Cop’, the New York Times quoted an “expert” named Cliff Kupchan:
It is a role that Congress shares with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, who warned the United Nations that Mr. Rouhani was a “wolf in sheep’s clothing,” and...
The New York Times on Sunday featured an article, Behind Flurry of Killing, Potency of Hate, which focuses on how dehumanizing an enemy makes it easier to kill. The article focuses on a convicted, jailed and released IRA terrorist and how he could be conditioned to kill. Then the article continues:
Historical parallels are...
We have featured Pallywood here many times, the Palestinian industry producing everything from outright video hoaxes to mere gross exaggerations all in the name of demonizing Israel.
But there is an even more pernicious western media version of Pallywood, the outright bias and misleading characterization of acts of terror against Israel.

We ran this over at College Insurrection last week, but I think it’s worth running again an excerpt from Hen Mazzig, An Israeli Soldier to American Jews: Wake up!
As a young Israeli who had just completed five years of service in the IDF, I looked forward to my new job educating...

The Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) movement, as our readers know, is a vile combination of leftists and Islamists joined together by hatred of Israel who hide behind false and exaggerated claims regarding the “occupation,” when the real goal is the destruction of Israel.
The BDS movement, which includes many academics, singles...
