Ruminations on music, culture, America and the world stage
Moshe Dann at The American Thinker reminds us, in an essay rich in historical detail, that there never has actually been a “Palestinian people.” Keep that in mind as the Most Equal Comrade convenes his kumbaya summit between Netanyahu and Abbas.
Mike Pence takes to the House floor to ask The Most Equal Comrade “Whose side are you on?” In the post by guest blogger Doug Powers at Michelle Malkin, in which the Pence video is embedded, Powers brings up two other noteworthy aspects of MEC’s $400 million aid pledge to the Palestinian territories: there is no money for such a gesture, and he’s perfectly willing to meet with the terror-loving Abbas, but dismissively says that he’d just hear boilerplate and platitudes if he met with the CEO of BP.
You don’t worry about whether you’ll get invited to the cool parties, whether you’ll be unfairly maligned, whether it complicates your strategic situation. You simply kill your enemies.
This is what war by propaganda looks like.
A look at IHH, the Turkish organization behind this flotilla.
It seems that that free-Gaza flotilla of “peace activists” which has among its endorsers such humanity-hating monsters as Miguel D’Escoto, Norman Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky, is having its real intended effect, which is to bring Israel once again to the brink of war.
Israel gives a big thumbs-down to the UN resolution adopted by the Non-Proliferation Treaty members calling for a 2012 pow-wow to get down to work on a nuclear-free mideast, a resolution that specifies Israel by name but not Iran.
A commenter in the thread under the Free Republic post where I first saw this noted that Germany’s National Socialists had had an “interesting” evolution from a band of street thugs meeting in beer halls to having a sizaeable presence in the German legislature and getting their leader elected chancellor.
Dear God, deliver us from this dark, grim insanity.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, speaking in Tokyo where he is visiting, said that the shipment of over 30 tons of arms seized in Thailand last year was headed from North Korea to Hamas and Hizbollah. Says Iran and Syria wee helping to facilitate the transfer.
North Korea. That would be the same country that sank its next door neighbor’s ship last month with a torpedo.
TCM finds this whole scenario boring and bothersome. He wants to focus on fundamentally transforming the United States of America.
Syria is shipping Scud missiles with a 435-mile range to Hizbollah.
And now that TCM is making mincemeat of America’s friendship with Israel, that sliver by the sea that occupies 1/650 of the middle east’s land is really on its own.
And, Mona Charen says, that’s just the latest symptom of this administration’s morally skewed policy toward Israel. Her overall point is that, if you’re looking for actual arrogant swagger in foreign policy, it’s happening now.
Caroline Glick on the fallacy of the notion that Fatah is moderate.
What a guy to be dealing with – especially when out own president isn’t a damn sight better.
