“That’s not going to happen”
If you haven’t watched it already, please see Bibi’s remarks, which very, very politely explain to Obama that his speech yesterday was horse poop.

The Great Communicator communicates not so greatly *UPDATED*
Obama is supposed to be hot stuff when it comes to communicating. I’ve long had my doubts, but his reference in today’s speech to Israel’s 1967 borders should put to rest forever the media created canard that this is a guy who can get his points across. You know why?
Continue readingTerrible news out of Jerusalem
The world’s useful idiots never get it. Israel targets Palestinian soldiers, and is terribly troubled when she inadvertently kills the civilians amongst whom the fighters hide. The Palestinians deliberately target civilians, and try to kill the largest number possible. Today, they succeeded: A bus explosion in Jerusalem has caused dozens
Continue readingStatistical help wanted
On Facebook, I linked to Bret Stephens’ article about the slaughter of the Fogel family in Israel (which is behind a pay wall). In it, Stephens says that we in the West have essentially dehumanized the Palestinians by giving them a free pass for acting on their baser instincts: I
Continue readingLiberals — lording it over lesser beings *UPDATED*
If there is one defining characteristic of liberals, it is their sense that they are better than everyone else. Nowhere was that more explicitly illustrated than in Ron Schiller’s comments: In my personal opinion, liberals today might be more educated, fair and balanced than conservatives. Schiller wasn’t unique, just unguarded.
Continue readingYouTube shuts down Palestinian Media Watch
YouTube decided to shut down the Palestinian Media Watch (“PMW”) account, because it shows heinous and disgusting videos. The problem with YouTube’s decision is that PMW doesn’t create these heinous and disgusting videos. Instead, they are products of the Palestinian media, and PMW makes them available so that Americans can
Continue readingNo sex for terrorists *UPDATED*
I spoke this weekend to a law enforcement agent who works in domestic counter terrorism. He said what we all know: one of the ways in which Islamic radicals recruit previously apathetic young men is through sex. Not actual sex, but the manufactured sex of rock videos. In other words,
Continue readingReality checking Tom Friedman on the Middle East
I really shouldn’t pick on Tom Friedman. If he was the average idiot holding forth in a bar or living room, I probably wouldn’t. But this average idiot has a forum — the New York Times — that gives him license to spread his stupidity to a much wider audience
Continue readingBoycott, Divestment, Sanctions = the death of Israel
If you ever hear about the “Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions” movement (BDS), do not fall for the advertised claims that it is about peace. It is intended to destroy Israel and is actively hostile to any peace between the two peoples: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifZLk6Ei9-U[/youtube] Please watch this video and, if you are a

Something is deeply wrong at the New York Times. I think that, perhaps, someone sensible slipped into their offices in the dark of night and published Efraim Karsh’s op-ed about the Palestinians, and the way in which they’ve been puppets for the surrounding Arab states. I’m sure whoever let that

I’m sorry I didn’t blog today. I have a half finished post on my screen, but can’t seem to get it entirely finished. Sometimes, when that happens, I just abandon the idea and move on to other things, but sometimes I just get mentally blocked up. I seem to need
Continue readingRandom fascinating stuff out there, plus a few opinions of my own about the California Academy of Sciences *UPDATED*
Although it’s been open for more than a year now, I went for the first time today to the newly rebuilt California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. My visit there was an interesting contrast to my first visit, some years ago, to the newly rebuilt De Young Museum

You recognize that quotation, right? It’s one of Golda Meir’s most repeated sayings. However, if you’ve been paying attention to the blogosphere lately, you’ll see that the Palestinians, with a lot of help from the Jordanians, are still raising their children to be cannon fodder. Rick, at Brutally Honest, has

Tomorrow is the 4th anniversary of Gilad Shalit’s kidnapping. Think of that: this young man has spent almost a fifth of his life held as a prisoner by Palestinian terrorists. The Jewish Community Relations Council is asking people to send a message to Gilad in the hope that these words

Justice Scalia states more eloquently than I ever could the difference between feelings and morality. [Sorry about this — while I was in the midst of editing a longer, pre-existing post, Comcast service died completely and deleted everything I’d written after the above sentence. Sigh. Nine hours later, Comcast is
