Calling Israel an “Apartheid State” and the barrier built to keep out suicide bombers the “Apartheid Wall” is part of the standard lexicon of the Islamist-Lefist Anti-Israel Coalition.
In The New York Times today, Richard Goldstone calls the apartheid terminology a slander, Israel and the Apartheid Slander:
One particularly pernicious and enduring canard...
This week in 1983 Iranian backed Shiites bombed the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 299 Marines and French soldiers.
The Marines had been sent as part of an international peacekeeping force in the wake of the Lebanese civil war. Iranian-backed Shiites who later formed Hezbollah carried out the attack:
Although no group...
Creating a centralized electronic medical record is one of the primary goals of the Obama administration (and Bush before that, although not funded) under the theory that a centralized record will lead to greater efficiencies.
Don’t worry, your centralized medical records will be safe.
Unless, of course, someone working for the government decides to steal...
Recently released, already calling on school children to hope for martyrdom.
Some more background (h/t @MargieInTelAviv)[Note, I substituted the original NBC video for the YouTube version as a reader pointed out that the last frame of the YouTube video includes links to some offensive videos):

Via Jerusalem Post:
A would-be Palestinian suicide bomber freed by Israel in the prisoner swap for soldier Gilad Schalit told cheering schoolchildren in the Gaza Strip the day after her release on Wednesday she hoped they would follow her example.
“I hope you will walk the same path...
The initial phase of the prisoner exchange for the freedom of Gilad Shalit is completed. This interview was broadcast on Egyptian TV, as described in The Jerusalem Post:
Schalit, who seemed shocked and distressed, was asked a number of questions by an Egyptian reporter, including how he was feeling, to which he...
As part of the deal to free Gilad Shalit, the butcher of Ramallah who participated in the disemboweling and mutilation of two Israeli soldiers who took a wrong turn on a road in the West Bank in October 2000 at the start of the 1st Intifada, will be set free:

In many ways, it’s worse than I originally thought, now that the names officially have been released.
In addition to the planners of the Sbarro Pizza bombing, about which I blogged earlier, the releasees include the planners of many other high profile bombings, terrorist attacks which live in the consiousness of every...
That’s the question asked at the end of a long Jerusalem Post report on the negotiations leading to the swap of over 1000 Palestinian prisoners, many of whom were responsible for the most heinous terrorist attacks which killed hundreds of Israelis, for captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
It’s not for me to...
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to post a good Stuxnet story. Stuxnet, you will recall, is the malicious malware which has plagued the Iranian nuclear program and which is blamed — without proof — on Israel.
The PJ Tatler notes that an Iranian attempt this week to launch a monkey into...
An Israeli soldier who has been in prison in Gaza for 5 years without so much as a visit by the Red Cross.
Apparently a deal has been reached for his release.
The terms...
Last week, I reported that an Iranian pastor, Youcef Nadarkhani, was to be sentenced to death for apostasy. Now, the political branches in Iran are upping the stakes, intending to execute him for being a Zionist threat to national security instead.
We should all remember, as Obama continues to praise the Arab Spring,...

Why does it seem these anti-Israel flash mobs overwhelmingly are made up of crazy-eyed females?
From Caroline Glick, in a must read post:
It’s my prayer for coming year that US Jewish community will act with the majority of their fellow Americans to defend Israel.
What’s most stunning is that such a prayer even is needed.
Update: I should have pointed out that Glick cites extensively to Matthew Knee’s post...
Obama gave a good speech at the U.N. last week, I credited him with that.
But his Israel policy still encourages Palestinian intransigence, as evidenced by his demands that Israel cease building new housing units in the Jewish neighborhood of Gilo. Gilo occupies a strategic hill...
when they are talking amongst themselves or to Arabic media, and what they are saying is that the state they seek from the U.N. is just the first step in the destruction of Israel, as stated by Fatah Central Committee Member Abbas Zaki (h/t Israel Matzav)(emphasis mine):
The settlement should be based upon...
Benjamin Netanyahu’s full speech at the U.N. today was a masterpiece. It is available at the U.N. website. Listen to the whole thing, it’s about 45 minutes.
Here is a clip of most of it:
Contrast it with the delusional and dishonest speech of Mahmoud Abbas at the U.N. today which included this line:
I come...
