A Ghanaian soccer player celebrated his team’s upset 2-0 victory over the Czech Republic Saturday by waving a small Israeli flag (he plays professionally for an Israeli soccer team).
Israel’s supposedly friendly neighbors in Egypt, who had previously been rooting for their fellow Africans, responded with anger. Continue reading »
Despite evidence that Israel could not possibly have been responsible for the deaths of seven “Palestinian” family members on a Gaza beach last week, the Jewish state’s self-proclaimed leftist “elites” continue to condemn both themselves and their nation. Continue reading »
Senior members of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s Kadima Party seem to waking up to the realities surrounding Olmert’s intended withdrawal from Judea and Samaria, namely that a realignment along the lines of major settlement blocs and an effort to set permanent borders - as Olmert promised in his election campaign - is not going to meet with world approval.
Credible research into the demographic situation between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea is starting to gain some attention.
The bottom line is that there is no more of a demographic threat to the Jewish state today than there was 20, 30 or 50 years ago. But that is not stopping Israel’s leaders from using “Palestinian”-supplied population figures to determine Israeli policy.
Previously classified documents released in the US last week show that Yasser Arafat’s direct involvement in the 1973 murder of senior American diplomats in Khartoum was no secret. Continue reading »
Unbelievable to most, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert this week ordered the transfer of 375 assault rifles to Palestinian Authority security forces tasked with protecting PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas.
Unsurprisingly, those Israeli-supplied weapons have already been used for a much different task - the murder of Jews. Israel made this same mistake in arming Yasser Arafat’s forces following the signing of the “Oslo Accords.” It was repeated with the signing of several subsequent worthless scraps of paper.
How many times can Israel commit the same deadly blunders as it tries in vain to convince its buddies in the West that the Jews are the good guys in this story?
Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is again calling for independent “impartial” research into the Nazi Holocaust.
He insists the entire episode is “unproven” and needs “verification.” Are the mountains of documents, photos, remains, etc on display at Holocaust museums in Jerusalem, Washington and Berlin truly not evidence enough?
Is the fact that the nation that perpetrated the Holocaust openly admits its past sins not evidence enough?
Please tell me no non-Muslims in the West actually take this guy seriously.
UN chief Kofi Annan has reportedly admitted being manipulated by the anti-Israel international press regarding the deaths of seven “Palestinians” on a Gaza beach last week, and retracted his skepticism of Israel’s evidence showing IDF munitions were not to blame. Continue reading »
Jerusalem Post columnist Yehuda Avner has pointed out something that I for one am embarrassed to say I missed - the absurdity of seeking terrorists’ recognition of Israel’s right to exist. Avner quotes liberally from former prime minister Menachem Begin in showing how Israel’s current leadership should respond to international requests that Hamas accept the Jewish state.

Do Israel’s leaders - and for that matter, American and European officials - really believe that PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas is an opponent of anti-Jewish terrorism? Continue reading »
