Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I regularly receive the following email (about every four months from some family member or another). It doesn’t actually mention Israel’s neighbors, but you can supply their own comparable accomplishments (or lack thereof) from your own mental database. I also haven’t fact checked all the assertions here, but I know
Continue readingI just got to my computer now, which has me many hours behind early risers, let alone those early risers on the East Cost. I’m therefore only just assimilating the news about the foiled plot to blow up multiple US-bound British planes in the air. My first thought on hearing
Continue readingOne of Israel’s problemsin dealing with the Palestinians is that she has been a nation divided. In the many years dealing with the Palestinians, the Israelis have ping-ponged back and forth between Hawks and Doves, always trying to divine which approach held the greatest chance of a lasting peace. (In
Continue readingJust because I was curious, I checked out the Kuwait Times online to see how an Arab nation that’s pretty much on the sidelines is reporting on the Israel-Hezbollah War. I didn’t have to look very far. One of the headlined articles is “Israel on baby-killing spree.” Bizarrely, the article
Continue readingThe MSM has fallen into the comforting (to it) rote of “land for peace” regarding the Israel/Hezbollah conflict. After all, this worked wonderfully in the media for the past 20 years when they were reporting about the Israeli Palestinian conflict. So well, that they were utterly unperturbed when Israel gave

Ball bearings aimed at civilians are disproportionate force: The charred, dismembered bodies, and blood splattered against a stone wall, turned the stomachs of hardened emergency service workers. “Even in this war I have not seen a sight like this,” said Eli Peretz, an ambulance driver. “The wounded people
Continue readingI’ve been getting a fair amount of hostile comments regarding an earlier post in which I discussed an AP story that accused half the American population for being delusional because it belived that Iraq did have WMDs. I’ve updated that post to support my belief that Iraq had WMDs at
Continue readingLet’s see. In the last week, Iran, an UN member nation, has (once again, ’cause it’s done it before) called for the destruction of Israel, another UN member nation. Now, Iran, an UN member nation (although God alone knows why) admits that it is supplying long range missiles to a
Continue readingWith Qana, which is beginning to look remarkably like a staged event, not an Israeli massacre of children, Hezbollah managed to switch wavering world sympathy to its side (not too hard a task, considering world hostility to Israel). Lee Smith, writing for the Week Standard, suggests that Hezbollah might have
Continue readingHezbollah claimed some more Arab lives, this time killing three Bedouin women from one family: Residents of Arab al-Aramshe find it difficult to comprehend disaster in which mother, her two daughters were killed as Katyusha rocket hit their house yard. One of daughter recently got engaged. ‘We can’t believe we
Continue readingIn a comment to one of my posts, someone suggested that there is proof positive that Israel is the bad guy in all this — Human Rights Watch has condemned it. Clearly, when an organization dedicated to watching out for Human Rights condemns Israel, Israel must be at fault, right?
Continue readingVisit this PowerLine post to see a video that the Israelis periodically manage to get hacked into Lebanese TV. I know American soldiers would love to see something like this done in Iraq against Al Qaeda and Co., but we’re too PC. As John, at PowerLine says, he’s not sure
