Let’s be charitable. Let’s consider the best case to be made for Biden “as a friend of Israel,” which just appeared from a veteran Israeli journalist, Raphael Ahren: “Biden a veteran friend of Israel, settlement critic, may be at odds over Iran,” by Raphael Ahren, Times of Israel, November 7, 2020: …“He has a deep […]
‘Palestinians’ eager to start receiving American taxpayer money again in Biden administration
Seventy years of failed policies followed by four of actual progress toward peace in the Middle East, by ending aid to the “Palestinian” jihad and bypassing the jihadi intransigence of the “Palestinians.” A Biden/Harris presidency would be a full return to those failed policies, and a rollback of the progress that has been made. Get […]
Palestinian Lawyers Sue UK Over Balfour Declaration
In what is evidently not a joke, three Palestinian NGOS have sued – in a Palestinian court, of course, in Nablus – the government of Great Britain for the Balfour Declaration which, say the plaintiffs, has been the cause of all the subsequent misery the “Palestinian people” have suffered. The story is here: “Palestinian NGOs […]
UN: 138 countries approve draft resolution that speaks of Temple Mount solely as an Islamic holy site
The UN’s anti-Israel, anti-Western pro-Organization of Islamic Co-operation bias is not new. Its brazenness, however, as America continues to provide it with the largest financial contributions in the world, is becoming increasingly harder to ignore. This UN resolution also (again) delegitimizes Israel: The resolution was titled, “Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian […]

Islamic scholar: ‘The Muslim caliph will lead the Muslim armies and they will crush Paris completely’
Could Ali Abu Ahmed be clearer about his adherence to the Islamic idea that violent jihad must be waged in order to force Infidels to submit to Sharia? Will Western analysts heed his words and ponder their implications? Of course not. “Al-Aqsa Mosque Address By Sheikh Ali Abu Ahmad: Boycotting French Products Is Not The […]
Khaled Elgindy’s Virtual Palestinian Reality
Middle East Institute (MEI) Senior Fellow Khaled Elgindy, a previously discussed go-to establishment policy wonk for all issues Palestinian, has tweeted that Jerusalem’s Old City is Israeli “occupied territory.” His absurd claim that Jews could ever “occupy” their historic capital of Jerusalem is just one piece of nonsense that he has broadcast online, further proof […]
Harris: Biden will restore aid to ‘Palestinians’ and reopen East Jerusalem consulate and PLO office in DC
Returning to the old arrangement: pressuring our only reliable ally in the Middle East, while coddling and enabling those who would conquer and subjugate us. “Exclusive: Q&A with Kamala Harris ahead of election,” Arab American News, October 28, 2020: DEARBORN — Democratic vice presidential nominee and California Senator Kamala Harris visited Metro Detroit last Sunday, making a […]
Khaled Elgindy: ‘Palestine’s’ Man in the Establishment
Middle East Institute (MEI) Senior Fellow Khaled Elgindy is among the most esteemed advocates of the Palestinian cause in American policymaking and academic circles. Yet behind the veneer of mainstream respectability of this prominent figure in the Democratic Party’s increasingly leftist base lies slick yet shocking apologetics for Palestinian radicalism. During the Democratic Party 2020 […]

After the murder of Samuel Paty, the French middle-school teacher murdered by a Muslim Chechen for including cartoons of Muhammad in a lesson on free speech, President Macron refused to condemn those cartoons, angering many Muslims around the world, for whom the Prophet is “the most sacred thing in Islam.” At a ceremony in Paty’s […]
Mahmoud Abbas Has Learned His Lesson, Tones Down Criticism of Sudan
When the United Arab Emirates and then Bahrain announced their normalization agreements with Israel, the PA was quick to denounce both as “betraying Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Palestinian issue.” The two countries were further accused of “stabbing the Palestinians in the back.” This did not have the desired effect. Both the UAE and Bahrain […]
Bernie Bro Amer Zahr Hates on Israel
“Just stop partying with Zionists,” tweeted on September 10 the Israel-hating Palestinian-American comedian and political activist Amer Zahr, a longtime Senator Bernie Sanders supporter. Already controversial as a surrogate for Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign during the Democratic Party primary, Zahr has further demonstrated online just how radical the Democrats’ leftist elements have become towards Israel. […]
The Trump Administration’s Geopolitical Hat Trick
Sudan has become the third Arab country to agree to normalize relations with Israel. The Palestinians are most unhappy: “Palestinians condemn ‘shameful’ Israel-Sudan accord,” by Khaled Abu Toameh and Celia Jean, Jerusalem Post, October 24, 2020: The Palestinian Authority said on Friday that it “condemns and rejects” the normalization of relations between Arab countries and Israel. […]
Saeb Erekat Rushed to Hadassah Hospital UPDATE: Erekat is dead
UPDATE: Erekat has reportedly died. ———- The hypocrisy of the Palestinian Arabs knows no bounds.

A Few Questions for Actor and Middle East Expert Mark Ruffalo
About Mark Ruffalo, and why he should be asked these questions, see here and here. 1. Are you aware that there has been a continuous Jewish presence in the Land of Israel for 3500 years? Are you aware that the Muslim Arabs arrived only in the 7th century? 2. Are you aware that when the […]
Germany funding Palestinian jihad group and partnering with Iran-linked Shia jihad organization in Hamburg
Germany is confused. It banned Hizballah, and some of its politicians are now pushing for a probe into Islamic Relief funding and its ties to Muslim Brotherhood.

PA mufti: Jihad against ‘thieving Jews’ is ‘a personal religious commandment for everyone who is capable of it’
As I explain in detail in The Palestinian Delusion, the “Palestinian” conflict with Israel is based on Islamic imperatives, the one aspect of the conflict that all mainstream analysts discount or ignore altogether. Accordingly, it is no surprise at all that the “Palestinians” would be trying to marshal opposition to the peace deals, which are […]
Archeological Finds In Israel Undermine the ‘Palestinian’ Narrative
As is well-known, Palestinian leaders like to backdate – using their vivid oriental imaginations – the presence of the “Palestinian people” in “Palestine.” Mahmoud Abbas has frequently declared that the Palestinians are direct descendants of the Canaanites, who lived in the Middle East some 4000 years ago. He has made even more extravagant claims recently […]
UK: Supporters of ‘Palestinian’ jihad terror vandalize soccer stadium for allowing Israeli team to practice there
The reality of the situation is that it is the “Palestinians” who routinely call for genocide of the Jews and target Israeli civilians, not the other way around. But the “Palestinians” have been able to go very far with their spurious claims of victimhood, and aren’t about to stop now. Get the full details in […]
