U.S., France, Germany and Others Walk Out During Ahmadinejad’s Israel-bashing UN Speech
It’s time for me to eat a little crow – feathers and all – here… I didn’t think the U.S. delegation would walk out during Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s address to the United Nations General Assembly this evening. But they did… along with the delegations of at least a dozen other nations: France on Wednesday […]
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Lays Out Conditions for Palestinian State
If you’ve been paying attention to the news over the last couple of days you’ve no doubt seen the headlines screaming “Netanyahu Says Yes to Palestinian State”… As is all to often the case you have to wade through several paragraphs to get the substance of what Prime Minister Netanyahu said. He did not give […]
Caught on Tape: Jane Harman & AIPAC
If even half of what’s alleged in this Congressional Quarterly report is true Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) and former attorney general Alberto Gonzales have a lot explaining to do: Rep. Jane Harman , the California Democrat with a longtime involvement in intelligence issues, was overheard on an NSA wiretap telling a suspected Israeli agent that […]
Anti-Israel Hate Rears It’s Ugly Head
Someone using the name Joanna Pardue posted tried to post the following comment to a post on anti-Israel hated: If it’s okay to kill Palestinian women and children – [collective punishment] then it’s okay to kill Jewish women and children – outside Israel.

Pat Buchanan: Anti-Semitic Crackpot
There was a time when I liked Pat Buchanan (although I can’t remember when or why) but over the years he’s said a variety of things that caused me to classify him as an crackpot… Like this summer when he blamed America for Russia’s invasion of Georgia. Or like last night on MSNBC’s “1600 Pennsylvania […]
Rockets Fired into Northern Israel From Lebanon
At least two rockets were fired into northern Israel from Lebanon today. It’s not clear from media reports who was responsible for the attack. Hopefully this was an isolated attack by small group Palestinian militants and not attempt by Hezbollah to open a second front. From Fox News: A Hezbollah minister in Lebanon’s Cabinet denies […]
The Hate Just Keeps Rolling
Little Green Footballs has photos from another hate filled anti-Israel rally… This time in Melbourne, Australia. I’ll repeat what I said before, as long this kind of hatred exists there will never be peace.

I posted video from a hate filled pro-Hamas rally in Fort Lauderdale yesterday.

Disgusting: “Get Back to the Oven!”
This video has been making the rounds on a few blogs so thought I might as well post it here. It was shot at a pro-Hamas demonstration in Fort Lauderdale, FL on December 30, 2008. The defining moment comes at around the 3:20 mark. There’s a lot of things I could think to say but […]

Israel and Hamas
So far I’ve resisted the urge to comment on Israel’s ongoing operations against Hamas… I just don’t see any value in playing armchair general or armchair diplomat.This morning though I picked up my local paper and read this bit of idiocy in the Letters to the Editor: The Israeli attack on the Gaza Ghetto, much […]
