I don’t know how I missed this great video from Caroline Glick, (h/t Henry) but even though it’s already 6 months old it is still as relevant as ever. In fact I could have used everything that Ms. Glick said … Continue reading

As I mentioned earlier, while Hassan Rohani’s election as president of Iran was welcomed as a reformer, it was also advised, especially by Binyamin Netanyahu, to “approach with caution”. As to be expected however, Israel’s very own Delusionist-in-chief, aka President … Continue reading

The new Iranian President Hassan Rohani

Israel, civil rights and the apartheid smear
I know I’ve written about this subject several times before, but the apartheid libel just doesn’t go away. If it looks like the smear campaign against Israel is failing, some bigot like Alice Walker will make darned sure it makes … Continue reading
