Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Not to make you feel less fortunate than I am or anything, but I won’t be blogging for a few hours today because I’m going to hear Daniel Hannan speak!! Even better, I’ll be going with Charles Martel. Yay! While I’m gone, please consider this an Open Thread. I can
Continue readingThere’s been a lot of discussion about whether Israel would follow up on her air bombardment with a ground offensive. On the pro side, if done correctly, it could potentially clear out Hamas forever, or at least disable it for the foreseeable future. On the con side, Israeli casualties, something
Continue readingI’m heading out in a minute to have lunch with one of my more wonderful conservative friends in Marin (it’s wonderful that she’s conservative, and she’s just a great, thoughtful person), so I’ll be brief, and try to funnel as much info to you as possible in a small amount
Continue readingI told my sister that I had reached out a few days ago to a relative in Israel, who assured me that she and her family, who live around Haifa, are currently far enough north that they’re not affected by the rockets. “What rockets?” asked my sister, who has been
Continue readingI’m on my iPhone, so I’ll be brief. When it comes to Israel, every word Roger L. Simon writes here is absolutely correct. Sadly, I think I’m correct in assuming that Israel will ignore Simon and, instead, listen to “friends” such as Obama, the UN, and the EU.
Continue readingGil-Ad Shaer, Naftali Fraenkel and Eyal Yifrah are dead. This is so unutterably sad because Israel, unlike her enemies, cherishes her children: The bodies of the three Israeli teenager who were kidnapped over two weeks ago were found by security forces in a field northwest of Hebron on Monday afternoon.
Continue readingToday is Nakba Day, the day Muslims the world over violently commemorate the “disaster” that was Israel’s creation. (JoshuaPundit explains what nakba is really about and why it is such a loathsome commemoration.) But here’s something interesting: Even as anti-Israel sentiment burns ever brighter on America’s college campuses, most recently
Continue readingIn response to my plea for more pictures about Jews as survivors, not victims, Murray Lawrence forwarded me these incredible pictures from his father showing the 1920s in Tel Aviv, when he was working on construction projects there. I’m just blown away by these images. I’ve prefaced each image with
Continue readingIt’s very natural, given what happened to the Jews at Nazi (and Communist and Muslim) hands in just the last 75 years to think of them as victims. But they’re not. They’re survivors, and fighters, and people who have created one of the most stable, dynamic, free, creative, prosperous nations
Continue readingToday is Yom Hashoah — Holocaust Remembrance Day — a day on which Jews and all civilized people around the globe commemorate the 6 million who died at the hands of virulent antisemites. Israel takes this day very seriously. For those unclear on the whole Israel concept (Obama, Kerry, and
Continue readingHarry Truman could have been called an anti-Semite based on some of the things he said about Jews, but it was he who voted “yes” at the UN, making possible Israel’s creation in 1948. Nixon could have been called an anti-Semite based on some of the things he said about
Continue readingPalestinians smear their fallen enemies’ blood on their hands, dangle bodies outside of windows, and have candy-strewn parades celebrating the bloodshed when their enemies fall into their hands. Israelis teach their enemies to walk again. (I apologize for the long commercial before the video, but you may want to wait
