Ever since the U.S. ceased its support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in August 2018, Germany has been the major donor to the organization, which spreads antisemitism in its schoolbooks. The story is here: “Activists and experts demand German transparency on UNRWA support,” by […]
John Brennan: Killing of Fakhrizadeh ‘An Act of State-Sponsored Terrorism’
While many will agree that the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the “mastermind” of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, has made the world a safer place, and that we owe a debt a gratitude to the Israelis for this latest act of derring-do, designed to further slow Iran’s ability to produce nuclear weapons, John Brennan – who […]
The Victims of the Jihad Suicide Attacks on Civilians That Biden Appointee Justified
When Reema Dodin, who has been appointed deputy director of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs by Joe Biden, in 2002 expressed her deep understanding of, and sympathy for, all those “desperate people” who became suicide bombers, she must have been thinking of such bombings as these that took place in Israel that very […]
Biden Appointee Justified the Cold-Blooded Murder of Innocent Civilians
“But it was so long ago when she said that. Eighteen years! Can’t people change?” Yes, we’ll get to that excuse a bit later on. “Reema Dodin to be first Palestinian-American White House staffer,” by Tzvi Joffre, Jerusalem Post, November 25, 2020: Reema Dodin is a Palestinian-American who will serve alongside Shuwanza Goff as a […]
The Three Things of Significance That Happened During Secretary of State Pompeo’s Visit to Israel
Three things of significance happened during Secretary Pompeo’s visit to Israel. First, he went to a settlement in Judea and Samaria (a/k/a the “West Bank”), Psagot, where he visited the winery that Israeli farmers and oenologists have managed to create in what was during Jordanian rule a wasteland. He is the first American Secretary of […]
PA Makes Demands of Biden; Here Are Demands He Should Make of Them
On December 23, 2016, as a parting shot from the anti-Israel Obama administration, U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power did not veto, but did as instructed by Washington, and voted to abstain on U.N. Council Resolution 2334. It was the first time the U.S. had not used its Security Council veto to block such an egregious anti-Israel […]
Chutzpah: Palestinians Prepare List of Demands For Biden Administration
The Palestinian Arabs sense an opening for them in Biden’s Washington, where they rightly assume they will be personae gratae again. They have already been preparing their laundry list of demands for the Biden Administration, which is discussed here: “PA wants Biden to reverse ‘anti-Palestinian’ decisions,” by Khaled Abu Toameh, Jerusalem Post, November 22, 2020: […]
Palestinians Manage to Infuriate Moroccans By Supporting the Polisario Front
Not content with having enraged the Emiratis by defacing, stepping on, and setting fire to their flag and the image of their leader, Crown Prince Muhammad bin Zayed, the Palestinians have also described the United Arab Emirates as having “betrayed” the Palestinians and, for good measure, claiming that the Emirates “stabbed us in the back.” […]
Ilhan Omar Accuses Israel of ‘Ethnic Cleansing’
As is well known, Israel is a multi-ethnic state, where Arab citizens have equal civil, religious, and political rights as Jews. This has not stopped others from accusing Israel of practicing “apartheid.” Israeli spokesmen then point out that in Israel, Arabs serve in the Knesset, sit on the Supreme Court, go abroad as diplomats for […]
Palestinians End Temper Tantrum, Resume Ties with Israel
The Palestinians have decided to renew the ties they broke with Israel last May, when Jerusalem announced its plans to extend its sovereignty to parts of the West Bank. Since that plan was not executed, and apparently will not be, the Palestinians – that is, the PA, not Hamas – are finally ready to resume […]
Obama Accuses Netanyahu of ‘Orchestrating’ A Campaign Against Him
As is well known, the most anti-Israel of our Presidents is Jimmy Carter, the perennially grinning author of Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, which contains such tossed-off malevolence as this: “Some Israelis believe they have the right to confiscate and colonize Palestinian land and try to justify the sustained subjugation and persecution of increasingly hopeless and […]
BBC Cancels Negative Coverage of the Late Saeb Erekat
The BBC has for decades been consistently anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian in its coverage. The latest example of that is its coverage of the life of the late Saeb Erekat, chief negotiator for the PA since 1994, and a tireless propagandist who accused Israel of every conceivable atrocity, including the “massacre” of 500 Palestinians in Jenin […]
Palestinian Prisoner Dies of Throat Cancer, PLO Charges Israel with ‘Murder’
A Palestinian who was imprisoned for murdering four Israelis in four separate attacks has died of cancer. According to the PA, Abu Wa’er was himself “murdered” by the Israelis who neglected to provide him with medical care for the throat cancer that killed him. The story – that is, its Palestinian version, is here: “Palestinians […]
Ritchie Torres an Unheard-Of First in Congress
Ritchie Torres has just been elected to the House of Representatives from the 15th Congressional District in the South Bronx. All the stories about him focus on his racial make-up (black and Latino), and on his “sexual orientation” (homosexual), as it is demurely called, which together provide the label affixed to Torres. He will be, […]
Malawi to Be First African State with Embassy in Jerusalem
Malawi will be the first African state to place its Israeli embassy in Jerusalem. It makes sense. Malawi has had diplomatic relations with Israel since 1964. When other African states were bribed or pressured by the Arabs to break relations with Israel after the Six-Day War, Malawi refused. The report on this latest welcome announcement […]
UAE Official: Hamas and the PA Are ‘Corrupt’ and ‘Murderers’
After the United Arab Emirates startled the world – and especially many in the Arab world – by announcing its normalization of relations with Israel, the country, its leaders, and the Emirati people became the target of Palestinian rage. Hysterical Palestinians accused the UAE of a great “betrayal” and of “stabbing us in the back.” […]
Yet Another Example of The Guardian’s Viciously Biased and Inaccurate Reporting on Israel
In its venomous coverage of Israel, the British newspaper the Guardian has for years been the print equivalent of Jeremy Corbyn. Recently Israel dismantled a group of seven Bedouin tents and eight animal pens on land the Bedouins did not own and that the IDF has used for live-fire practice since 1967 – that is, […]
The E.U. Read the Palestinians the Riot Act, But Will Biden Come to Their Rescue?
As is well known, Mahmoud Abbas has for the past seven months refused to accept the taxes that Israel collects on Palestinian imports on behalf of the PA. This is the second time he has refused to accept the transfer of those taxes. The first time was when Israel insisted on deducting from the sum […]
Iran’s Economy In Free Fall
Iran’s economy has been suffering greatly from the Trump Administration’s re-imposition of sanctions. Majid Rafizadeh recently provided a report on just how bad things have become for the Islamic Republic: “Iran’s Mullahs are in Turmoil Thanks to America’s Current Policy,” Gatestone Institute, November 2, 2020: …Iran’s currency, the rial, lost more than half its value […]
H. R. McMaster’s Advice to Joe Biden
The former National Security Adviser, H. R. McMaster, appeared recently on Fox News, where he was interviewed by Bret Baier. He had words of warning for Joe Biden, urging him not to rejoin the Iran deal – JCPOA – because it did not sufficiently curb Iran’s nuclear program, did not deal at all with Iran’s […]
