That's a line from this web ad released by the Republican Jewish Coalition, which is capitalizing on the momentum from the NY-09 election: ...
Carl at Israel Matzav has given Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen, the nickame "Abu Bluff." The trip by Abbas to the U.N. this week ostensibly to obtain recognition of a Palestinian state is another bluff. Abbas doesn't even have the support of his own people, as Hamas which controls...
One lie is that there is a historically and ethnically distinct Palestinian people, but that lie is so well established that it is beyond argument now. Even if Palestinian nationalism was a fiction created in the last few decades as a tool against Israel, that horse has...
Turkish Prime Minsister Erdogan's agitation show no signs of letting up. He's back to threats of military confrontation with Israel: Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday Israel could not do whatever it wanted in the eastern Mediterranean and that Turkish warships could be there at...
Dan Senor has a great article in The Wall Street Journal about how fundamentally Obama weakened our support of Israel, and Matthew Knee is following up here on the Obama's administration's belated push to shore up support in the Jewish community after the NY-09 Democratic debacle in which...
What a night. Two big wins in NY-09 and NV-02. Quote of the night: “It’s a very difficult district for Democrats,” said Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, noting its Democratic margins there tend to be the second lowest of all the districts in New...
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, having threated to have warships escort ships seeking to break the Gaza blockade, has walked back those comments, claiming he was taken out of context. But other Turks apparently are getting ready for another type of war with Israel: Turkish hackers...
What is going on in Egypt was all foreseeable to those of us who did not harbor the romantic view of the Arab Spring, which in many places was just a venting of anti-Semitism and hatred of Israel which had been suppressed by dictatorial rulers. Just ask Lara...
I wasn't sure Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan really would follow through on threats of a military confrontation with Israel over the Gaza blockade, but the recent U.N. panel decision upholding the legality of the blockade over Turkish protests seems to have sent Erdogan...
I posted yesterday about a U.N. report finding that Israel's sea blockade of Gaza is legal under international law, that Israel had a right to board and search the vessels in the May 2010 Gaza flottila (organized by a Turkish Islamist group), and that the Israelis...
I have posted about this U.N. report before, and Turkey's attempts to prevent its release or at least modify the findings. Considering that this is a U.N. report, and the U.N. almost never is fair to Israel, the findings are astounding. As reported by The NY...
When they say Boycott Divest and Sanction Israel, they don't really mean it. Those are just code words for Destroy Israel. Below is a video of a demonstration in London as part of the BDS(D) movement, via @EliLake, who notes At the link is this image: And this video. ...
This is classic (h/t BlazingCatFur). A member of the anti-Israel Boycott Divest Sanction movement (we've seen their moonbat tactics before) confronted Muslim shop owners in London demanding that they not sell Israeli products. The shop owners were not intimidated and demanded to know why she wasn't in...
From @MargieInTelAviv: I would add one thing, "Easy, just stop firing rockets at us ...
As explained in The Secret Passion of the New Antisemitism (h/t @yaacovlozowick): What distinguishes antisemitic propaganda from legitimate criticism, then, is the stubborn insistence on holding Israel to standards from which other countries are exempt, and the demand that Jews be denied a right to which other...
There were a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in Israel overnight (our time, noon Israeli time). At least six people were killed, and the attacks apparently emanated, at least in part, from Egyptian territory. Israel Matzav is gathering the latest information. Updates: The Israel Defense Forces reports that...
No surprise here. Jewish students at the University of California, Berkeley, have filed a lawsuit (h/t) claiming that university officials have failed to protect Jewish students from harassment and intimidation by anti-Israeli groups: A pattern of harassment and physical assaults by members of two Muslim student groups...
As part of the continuing attempt to blame the "right wing blogosphere" for the shooting and bombing in Norway, two Norwegians take to the pages of The NY Times (h/t Left Coast Rebel) to decry the cabal of right wing bloggers and other supposed Islamophobes. Notice how easily...
