All of the people screaming about Israel’s blockade of Gaza, in which goods are checked to keep out weapons, never seem to answer the following question: What is the alternative to stopping and inspecting ships headed for Gaza? A. Allow Gaza to turn into another...

I have been sounding the warning over Turkey since January 2009. Now that Turkey has instigated a confrontation with Israel, it is important to keep Turkey’s greater game in mind. Caroline Glick (h/t Instapundit) explains it quite well. Glick makes another important point, which is...

The rise of Islamist Turkey, and its deliberate and calculated instigation of a crisis in the Middle East, is reminiscent of the time period prior to the fall of the Shah of Iran. The Turkish Islamists know exactly what they are doing by precipitating a...

Glenn Greenwald is venomous in his attacks on Israel. Greenwald calls supporters of Israel, including Rep. Anthony Weiner, “Israel-firsters,” an obscene charge of disloyalty. Anyone who disagrees with Greenwald on whether the flotilla actually had a humanitarian intent, or whether Israel had a right under...

The government of Israel is upset that the operation to intercept the Turkish-backed flotilla ended up with the loss of several lives. Lack of proper operational planning, the almost ridiculous initial use of too little force (paint balls) and the failure to clear the decks...

The left-wing blogosphere is full of useful idiots, who pretend that the flotilla which just was stopped by Israel was a humanitarian mission. The flotilla was organized by the Islamist government in Turkey to aid Hamas with the goal of opening up shipping channels for...

Barack Obama has given the go ahead for the “targeted killing” of al-Qaeda operative Anwar al-Awlaki, who happens to be a U.S. citizen. I don’t have a problem with it. The fight with al-Qaeda is war. Al-Awlaki is trying to kill Americans, and if the...

The FBI has indicted Norman LeBoon Sr. of Philadelphia on charges of threatening Congressman Eric Cantor. LeBoon appears to be motivated by anti-Israeli sentiment, and a general paranoia reflected in anti-government rants. Here is a video “Norman LeBoon Sr” made attacking Israel’s conduct in Gaza:...

Barack Obama’s insistence that Israel cease all building in Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem, calling such neighborhoods “settlements,” raises an interesting question. Who are the settlers in Jerusalem? A good example of the lack of clarity over Palestinian claims to Jerusalem is found in prominent...

Here is how Hamas has responded to Obama’s peace initiative (i.e., humiliation of Netanyahu and contrived crisis): A Hamas cross-border attack on Israeli forces outside Kissufim Friday, March 26, killed an officer, Maj. Eliraz Peretz, Dep. Commander of Golani Battalion 12, 31, from Eli and...

Israel made a mistake in announcing an East Jerusalem building permit at the same time Joe Biden was visiting. The building permit really is a non-issue since everyone knows the Ramat Shlomo section of Jerusalem never is going to be given to the Palestinians, but...

Malmö is the third largest Swedish city, and now the poster child for what I call Malmö Syndrome, the anti-Semitic violence which results from the shared anti-Israeli agenda of Islamists and leftists. The result is that Malmö is being depopulated of Jews as a result...

The Dubai police have released what purport to be tapes of an 11-person strong hit team which killed top Hamas arms coordinator and killer of two Israeli soldiers, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. The working assumption is that this was an Israeli operation. The tapes coordinate closed circuit...

How long before arrest warrants are issued by politically motivated judges in Europe for high level U.S. politicians and military officials because drone strikes in Pakistan kill civilians? Don’t think it could happen? How about this story from Britain, Israel fury over British war crimes...

There are many stupid things said on the internet. Add to the list of top-ten contenders the claim that author Caroline Glick is not concerned with the survival of Israel. This claim is made in a post at the Lawyers, Guns & Money blog, a...

Bombing the funerals of your opponents is a red line in most conflicts. The Israelis don’t bomb Hamas or Hizbullah funerals, and vice versa. George Bush refused to bomb Taliban funerals. Al-Qaeda, however, has no such compunctions, as it repeatedly has sent suicide bombers to...

If you want to know why Barack Obama was spitting into the wind with his “historic” speech to the Muslim world, at least as regards the Israeli-Palestinian issue, there is no better example than this juxtaposition of Palestinians booby-trapping horses as part of a failed...
