The mother of all mysteries, making Stuxnet look like a B-grade movie, is unfolding in Israel over Prisoner X.

The New York Times has a good summary:

The story had all...

There has been a controversy raging about Brooklyn College’s sponsorship of a BDS conference.

For those of you who have not been paying attention, the BDS movement seeks to delegitimize and destroy Israel by, among other things, boycotting companies like SodaStream, Sabra hummus and Aroma Cafe.

The embrace given the BDS conference by Brooklyn College...

I’ve written about Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz before, Alan Dershowitz, Praised:

Charles C. Johnson (no, not that that CJ) has a post at Big Government, In Praise of Alan Dershowitz.  It’s worth the read, but hardly does justice to someone who for generations has fought for civil rights and the...

We have focused frequently on the lawfare strategy against Israel, advocated by people like Hastings College of Law Professor George Bisharat, which has been a primary focus of Palestinian political strategy ever since Israel put a halt to suicide bombings by building the security barrier.

Lawfare against Israel, however, is based on...

I witnessed first hand in law school in the early 1980s the concerted and planned effort by “Palestinians” to co-opt indigenous rights movements to the anti-Israeli cause.

The push was led by people like George Bisharat, now a law professor at UC-Hast...

We don’t know what or why Israel carried out a secretive bombing mission in Syria earlier this week.

Speculation runs from hitting advanced anti-aircraft missiles on their way to Hezbollah, to a biological or chemicals weapons institute, to other unnamed but sufficiently important targets.

One thing we do know is that Turkey is...

Chuck Hagel was an embarrassment yesterday at this confirmation hearing.  John Podhoretz has it right:

Well, as a result of this confirmation hearing — the most disastrous of its kind since another veteran senator, John Tower, blew himself up in his pursuit of the same post back in 1989 — Hagel has...

David Gerstman a/k/a SoccerDad has a Mideast Media Sampler he circulates by email which is very informative and used by many bloggers.

With his permission, I’m posting today’s sampler about the anti-Israel lawfare being conducted by the U.N. Human Rights Council cheered on by The New York Times and law professor George Bisharat (who has been discussed here before, see...

Could be either, except that Israel didn’t exist in the 1930s.

So writes Caroline Glick:

After participating last week in a debate in London about Israeli communities beyond the 1949 armistice lines organized by the self-consciously pretentious Intelligence Squared debating society, I can now say from personal experience that Amis is correct. The public atmosphere in England regarding Israel is ugly and violent….

Gilead Ini of Camera writes how The NY Times finally reporting on anti-Semitic and anti-Israel incitement by Egyptian President Morsi stands in contrast with near silence about similar incitement in Palestinian society, Why Egyptian hate speech, and ‘NYT’ reporting on it, matter:

Would it be a problem if a society, following the encouragement...

Obama wants Israel to go back to the pre-1967 borders, and he’s squarely placed the blame on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not being willing to go along.

I addressed this the other day in my post, Obama’s interference in Israel’s election.

Now Netanyahu is speaking up more forcefully,

You don’t need to be an expert in Israeli politics to understand that Israeli voters don’t like it when their leaders fight with an American president.

That’s nothing new, and it’s not new in the age of Obama.

That’s the context in which you need to understand Obama making it known, on the...

Later this month, Bibi Netanyahu will likely be reelected Israel’s prime minister.  Covering his campaign, Reuters noted yesterday that Netanyahu’s theme is essentially “The whole world is against us”—which the news agency at once implicitly ridicules and confirms.

“The great danger to the world is not from Jews build...

Earlier this week I received an email from a friend (and former colleague) who teaches at Stanford.  The email, containing a link to an Examiner.com column, had been forwarded several times before reaching him and arrived in my inbox complete with a good dozen endorsements like, “Makes perfect sense” and...

This is one of those “we’re really deep into their heads” type stories.

Sudan is furious that a large missile factory run by Iran was blown up, presumably by Israel.

Sudan has captured the intelligence agent responsible for surveillance, or so it says, via The Independent,
