UK airport security deemed “total failure”
Twins separated at birth? A 26 year-old man traveling to Pakistan using his sister’s passport “passed three security checks unchallenged before boarding a flight to Islamabad.” Just one of the reasons why the UK may well be al-Qaeda’s next major target. “Man flies to Pakistan using sister’s passport,” from the Daily Times, December 30: LONDON: […]
Australia: Topless bathing to be banned to “protect” Muslims
Who needs “protection” from whom? After all, Australia wants all people from far and wide to feel welcome, and “at home,” especially “If they’ve come from a Middle Eastern or Asian country [general PC-code for “Muslim country”] where women never go topless – in fact they usually wear a lot of clothing – I think […]

Hamas lives! Israeli defense officials recommend suspending Gaza ops, exploring ceasefire options

5,000 demonstrators and riots in Londonistan over Gaza
Welcome to the wonderful new multicultural London. This is all part of the “Palestinians’” grievance theater — if they mount a protest this big, they must have some serious grievances, no? And if they turn violent, well, we better give them what we want, no? And Gordon Brown is trying to do just that. In […]
Israeli Arab Knesset members: a “fifth column for the Hamas”
Ahmad Tibi: What’s his nationality? If one believes that the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is a struggle over land, such that once the just-right negotiated settlement is found, peace will dawn, and if one thinks that poverty causes terrorism and that democracy cures it, one will find this story profoundly shocking.

Simple Shimon: “Nobody in this world understands what are Hamas’ goals and why it continues to fire missiles”
Dazed and confused Mr. Peres, I am very glad to clear this up for you.
