Obama votes 'present' (or worse) on Israel's security
Every time a talking head from the Obama administration gets up to talk about Israel, the first thing they tell us is how 'security cooperation' is better than ever under Obama. While that may be true if one defines 'security cooperation' as the dollar value of weapons sold to Israel, it's an out and out lie when one looks at the bigger picture. Is President Barack Obama committed to Israel’s
Peres says, Netanyahu hints: Assad must go
President Shimon Peres says flat out, Assad must go. And Prime Minister Netanyahu hints at it. But will they do anything about it? Israeli politicians, while preferring not to interfere too vocally in the internal affairs of Arab states, have, when asked, made clear that they prefer to have democratic neighbors rather than dictatorial ones, both for the sake of human rights in the Arab world,
Will Barak bow to Erdogan too?
Ehud Barak continues to advocate apologizing to Turkey. Isarel's defense minister outlined the formulation, which would have Israel apologize to Turkey for "mistakes made, if there were any" in exchange for Turkey barring legal action against the Israeli troops involved, to reporters on July 28. Barak had spent the day in meetings with National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, Secretary of State
Egypt-Israel gas pipeline attacked for third time this month
For the third time in the month of July, and the fifth time in 2011, the Egyptian gas pipeline to Israel was attacked on Saturday. This time it wasn't even running. After the attack on the pipeline and a separate weekend attack on a police station in the port town of El-Arish, Egyptian security sources told Israel Hayom that the new government in Cairo was losing control over part of the
The Oslo Syndrome
What happens when people start to believe that depending upon the cause, terrorism might be okay?Here's an interview done by Australian television with Adrian Pracon, a survivor of the Utoya Island attack, and the country secretary of Norway's Labor party. The key part is around the 11:00 mark, but if you miss it, don't worry, because I've reproduced a summary of it below.Let's go to the
Anche l'European Space Policy Institute apre agli UFO
L'European Space Policy Institute, con sede a Vienna, nacque nel novembre del 2003 a seguito di una decisione del Consiglio Direttivo dell'ESA (Agenzia Spaziale Europea).A questo gruppo di scienziati e tecnici partecipa anche l'ASI (Agenzia Spaziale Italiana).
Tra i compiti di questo istituto c'è quello di scrivere studi scientifici e convogliare pareri di esperti, i quali hanno il compito - a medio e a lungo termine - di giustificare le decisioni (in termini di priorità) nel contesto spaziale e politico d'Europa e sviluppare strategie e posizioni.
E gli UFO hanno fatto la loro apparizione - anche - in questo contesto. E precisamente nel documento "ESPI Perspectives N°43 January 2011".
In un articolo di 12 pagine, in lingua inglese, dal titolo "UFO's and Exogenous Intelligence Encounters" e scritto da Philippe Ailleris (fondatore dello UAP Observations Reporting Scheme) si parla della problematica degli "Unidentified Flying Objects" e degli IR (Incontri Ravvicinati) in un contesto razionale, ma non ridimensionante e censorio.
Un documento importante, dal punto di vista scientifico e strategico, che si aggiunge alla moltitudine di altri "files" che ormai, da qualche anno a questa parte, sono all'ordine del giorno.
"Cinquant'anni dopo l'inizio dell'esplorazione spaziale, una delle principali e affascinanti questioni scientifiche rimane senza risposte: se la vita extraterrestre esiste nell'Universo. In uno spiccato contrasto, la credenza in intelligenze esogene e la presenza di esseri extraterrestri nel nostro ambiente è divenuta un fenomeno culturale diffuso alle fine degli anni 40 (ndr del Novecento). L'ipotesi che avvistamenti di Fenomeni Aerospaziali Anomali potessero forse rappresentare visite di astronavi extraterrestri ha generato grande interesse e invaso la coscienza moderna su scala mondiale, e sicuramente continuerà ad essere così per il prossimo futuro. Indipendentemente dalla spiegazione (o spiegazioni) finale per quanto riguarda la natura del fenomeno UFO, la sua influenza sul perseguimento delle esplorazione spaziali e sulla grande ricerca di vita extraterrestre diventa non trascurabile. Anche se al momento non ci sono prove scientifiche di un origine extraterrrestre del fenomeno UFO, per varie ragioni resta importante per noi, per tenerne traccia e continuare a studiare tutti i rapporti di eventi anomali. Primo, la presenza sulla Terra di dispositivi di origine esogena potrebbe rassomigliare ad anomalie nella nostra atmosfera. In secondo luogo, la continua analisi di eventi anomali potrebbe fornirci una nuova comprensione della natura della Fisica. Infine, ogni analisi di eventi atmosferici inspiegabili o percezioni aeree inusuali potrebbe portare ad una comprensione più profonda del nostro pianeta e la sicurezza dei viaggi aerei. Inoltre, e soprattutto, la controversia UFO ci fornisce preziose informazioni sulla nostra società e il suo modo di pensare, ci incoraggia a mantenere un atteggiamento di umiltà e scientifica apertura mentale, sempre cauta per via della nostra presunzione antropocentrica. Indubbiamente, la diretta, convincente ed inequivocabile prova dell'esistenza di intelligenze extraterrestri sarebbe la più straordinaria scoperta nella storia dell'Umanità. Tuttavia, c'è ancora molto da imparare sulla strada che va verso questo obiettivo".

Time for Israel to end Oslo
Mudar Zahran, a Palestinian writer and academic from Jordan, who now resides in the UK as a political refugee, says it's time for Israel to end the Oslo Accords. For the past several decades, the PLO leadership seem to have been trying to grab whatever it could get in negotiations, using the "ceiling of the last negotiation as the floor of the next," and pocketing whatever concessions it could
This is no Arab spring
There's been talk that has called Israel's 'housing protests' our 'Arab spring.' Raffe Gold says that's just not so. The protestors who are turning out in increasing numbers throughout the country are protesting for their livelihoods. They are able to stand free and tall and shout at the government; they feel their representatives are derelict in their duty to ensure a basic standard of living
Who will sue Ahmed Tibi?
Under the terms of Israel's new anti-boycott law, those who call for a boycott of the Jewish state may be sued for damages. Former political adviser to Yasser Arafat and current 'Israeli Arab' MK Ahmed Tibi (pictured here with his good friend Muammar Gadhafi) has called for a boycott of Israel. Will anyone step to the plate to sue him? Arab MK Ahmed Tibi (Balad) has called on the world to

Germany, which admits to having a special duty to protect the Jewish state, still has not withdrawn from the Durban III conference.

Israel's unpatriotic protesters
A Right-wing NGO that was going to participate in Saturday night's 'housing' protest in Tel Aviv - the largest in the country - pulled out because the organizers refused to include our national anthem.

But you should all know that I don't support the protesters. Here's why . Saturday evening we watched Channel 2 news anchor Yonit Levy turn into Marxist activist Rosa Luxemburg and compete with protest organizer Daphni Leef in encouraging and
Morto l'ufologo ed ex astronauta Brian O'Leary
Il 28 luglio 2011, per un tumore, è scomparso per salire alla "Casa del Padre" l'ex astronauta NASA, scienziato, professore e già assistente alla cattedra di Astronomia presso l'Università di Cornell Brian O'Leary.Ne da notizia il sito del magazine brasiliano "Revista UFO".
Fu anche un acceso sostenitore della presenza extraterrestre qui sulla Terra e il suo rapporto con le tecnologie potenzialmente rinnovanti. Partecipò anche a dibattiti sulla controversa "faccia di Marte" ed era un attivista del cosiddetta movimento "Esopolitico".

What Was I Wearing: lazy weekend outfit made good
I don't know about you but when my weekend activities consist of a quick dash to the supermarket and petrol station and changing beds and hoovering and cleaning and many many more boring things like that besides, I don't really feel like making too much of an effort with my outfit. Or my make-up. Or my hair. But even a pair of jeans and a plain tee don't have to be plain and boring, just add a little bling in the form of a statement necklace, like this one from Marks and Spencer:

Turkish military's mass resignations show the end of Turkish military's role in government

The Fatah Youth group had taken part in the summer camp in the past on the Island of Utoya, near Oslo, where over 90 people were reportedly killed in a shooting spree on the Island

Time for Norwegians to learn a lesson?
Norwegian ambassador to Israel Svein Sevje told Maariv this week that 'Palestinian terrorism' against Israel is more justified than terrorism against Norwegians.

The causes of terrorism are multifaceted but at bottom they have a common cause: namely, a belief that violence is the proper response to

Beauty Review: Dior Addict Lipstick
I'm sure you've seen the adverts starring Kate Moss for the new Dior Addict Lipsticks? Honestly, Kate Moss could probably sell me anything she advertised - I was a huge Rimmel fan during her time there. But now she is encouraging me to try something a little more luxurious and I'm happy to be easily led by the supermodel.
When I was passing through John Lewis one evening after work last week, I stopped to take a look at the Dior stand and before I knew it, I was in the make-up chair and having my face made up. I usually end up going home from a make-up trial session and removing every last drop of make-up from my face. I usually find that they have piled the make-up on and I look like one of those brides who walks down the aisle on her wedding day looking like the drag version of herself!! But not today. Not one bit. I loved the look I was given.
The minute my make-up man put the Dior Addict lipstick in Diorkiss (the shade that Moss wears in the advertising campaign) on I loved it. L-o-v-e-d. It is a wonderfully pigmented sheer lipstick and for the first time, I didn't hate a bright colour on me. Result. The consistency of the lipstick is a little like a lip gloss which means that it goes on easily but doesn't last for hours. But that only means you'll have to get out your beautifully packaged Dior lipstick to reapply!

Norwegian Jews worry they will be blamed for Breivik
Norwegian Jews are expressing concern over the possibility that they could be blamed for last Friday's rampage by xenophobe Anders Behring Breivik. Yet even as they mourn along with their fellow countrymen, some Jews here are quietly expressing concern that the attack by a right-wing xenophobe who apparently sympathized with Israel may further mute pro-Israel voices in Norway, where anti-Zionist
Hypocrisy at the Security Council
A senior Israeli diplomat says that deep down, members of the Security Council are sympathetic to Israel's predicament with the 'Palestinians.' They're just not willing to say so in public. Contrary to popular belief, discussions and negotiations taking place behind-the-scenes in the UN Security Council are often sympathetic to Israeli positions on critical issues relating to the

If anyone ever claims to you that Israel's Supreme Court said that the 'West Bank' is occupied, here is how you should respond.

It's Islam, stupid!
You would think that it would not be a big deal - if we were going to have a 'two-state solution' - for each side to recognize the other's right to exist as what they are (or would de facto be).

Whom the Arabs blamed for the 'Palestinian refugees'

But give Tel Aviv credit. With at least half its denizens living in tent cities to protest the fact that the government isn't

Why a circumcision ban might be good for the Jews
As many of you are already aware, San Francisco has an item on the ballot this year that would make performing a bris (circumcision) within the city limits a crime.

If the most left-wing major city in America starts arresting Jews who have their children circumcised there, some American Jews might awaken to the threat to

A Scottish aid convoy has been denied entry into Gaza... by Egypt. In an interview with Press TV, Dr. Hasan Nowarah, a peace activist for Justice for Palestine, and a member of the Scottish aid convoy stuck at the Rafah crossing, gives a detailed account of his travel to the Rafah border, and subsequent rejection to enter Gaza.Press TV: We'd like you to tell us more about your situation. Why have
How to... wear flared jeans
This morning a new pair of bootcut jeans arrived in the post from asos.com - a recent spur-of-the-moment purchase that I'd forgotten I'd even made (got to stop doing that!). But then the inevitable question hit me: how will I wear my new purchase? So I turned to a few flare-lovers and good ol' Polyvore for some inspiration:

4 people charged in New York with running drugs, weapons for Hezbullah, Taliban
Four people have been charged in New York with running drugs and arms for the Taliban and Hezbullah. The charges highlighted "the growing nexus between drug trafficking and terrorism," Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara told reporters.In the operation targeting Hezbollah, two of the men told people secretly working for the US anti-drug agency that they wanted to purchase anti-aircraft missiles
'Palestinian' solidarity with the people of Norway
A new 'Palestinian' blog expresses solidarity with the people of Norway. My sympathy at the terrible loss of life in Norway extends especially to their left-wing politicians who thankfully dominate the country's political narrative. I have just heard one of their senior government members on the BBC news claim that, with the 'possible exception of the Beslan massacre', the Norway attack
Is the New Israel Fund behind the 'housing protest'?
This brief video (sorry, Hebrew only) is suggesting that there are a lot of issues other than housing behind the 'tent cities' springing up all over the country - and that the New Israel Fund is lurking behind the protests in a bid to undermine the Netanyahu government.Let's go to the videotape.Hmmm.

House Appropriations Subcommittee conditions aid to 'Palestinians,' Egypt, Lebanon
On Wednesday, the US House Appropriations Subcommittee for Foreign Operations is scheduled to review the foreign operations budget for fiscal 2012. The budget provides over $3 billion in aid to Israel, but establishes conditions for aid to the 'Palestinians,' Egypt and Lebanon. It also contains $513 million for the Palestinian Authority, though in order to receive any of the money dedicated for
Israel's 'Arab spring'?
You would never know it from reading my blog or from reading much of the English language online media, but the headlines in Israel for the last few days have nothing to do with the 'Palestinians' or the other Arabs or even with Norway. Most of the headlines of late deal with 'tent cities' that have been popping up all over the country in response to our housing shortage, an issue I discussed

Erekat calls to disband 'Palestinian Authority'
Former 'Palestinian' chief negotiator bottle washer Saeb Erekat has said that the 'Palestinian Authority' cannot function without a reichlet, and that if no reichlet is declared in September, the 'Palestinian Authority' should be disbanded. Erekat said that if the United States continued to stymie the Palestinian efforts to get a state recognized by the United Nations, the Palestinian Authority
IDF preparing for scenario where Syrian army backs border breachers
You might think that the Syrian army is too busy trying to retain Bashar al-Assad in power to bother with Israel right now. The IDF disagrees. After all, a confrontation with the Jooos would be a great distraction from Assad's troubles. And so the IDF is preparing for a scenario where Syrians try to breach their border with Israel (as happened in May) in September in connection with the UN vote
Your tax dollars at work paying terrorists
In a report to Congress, Palestinian Media Watch has confirmed what I reported previously, namely that the 'Palestinian Authority' is using American aid money to pay salaries to 'Palestinian' terrorists being held in Israeli prisons. But they have also quantified it: The 'Palestinian Authority' is paying over $5 million per month from US aid money to terrorists in violation of US law. In effect,
The tax benefits of working in Gaza
If you need to make a little extra money, you may want to consider the benefits of working for an NGO in Gaza. NGO's in 'Palestine' routinely pay triple what any local firm would pay. And if you happen to be in Gaza, that triple salary is also tax free. Various international NGOs working in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) have questioned a demand by the Hamas government in the Gaza
Il falso UFO belga "non rimette in discussione gli altri casi"
Sta ormai facendo il giro del mondo la clamorosa notizia del falso inerente la fotografia del famoso UFO triangolare, emblema dell'ondata belga di inizio anni novanta del secolo scorso e di cui abbiamo dato ampio risalto su questo sito.Patrick Ferryn, presidente del Comité Belge d'Etude des Phénomènes Spatiaux (COBEPS), considera che la foto falsa dell'UFO di Petit-Rechain (Verviers), scattata il 4 aprile 1990, non rimette in discussione l'ondata belga di oggetti volanti non identificati apparsi nei cieli a partire dal mese di novembre del 1989 e che durò per parecchi mesi.
La foto dell'UFO di Petit-Rechain fu il risultato di una bufala, così come ha confessato il suo autore al giornalista Samuel Ledoux a RTL TVI. Il presidente del COBEPS sottolinea che questa ammissione risolve definitivamente questo caso sul quale si erano interessati molti specialisti, tra cui un professore della Ecole Royale Militaire.
Lo stesso Patrick Ferryn tentò di dimostrare, senza successo, che quella foto era truccata.
Inoltre, il 29 novembre 1989, quattordici poliziotti nella regione di Eupen avevano osservato uno strano fenomeno nel cielo. Si parlò di UFO e 150 testimoni confermarono l'avvistamento dei poliziotti. I mesi successivi, altri fenomeni dello stesso tipo furono osservati nella regione di Liegi, nelle Brabant Wallon, a Bruxelles, nella regione della Louvière. Fu il sud del Belgio ad essere toccato dal maggior numero di avvistamenti di UFO.

When an IDF soldier points a gun at you
Last Thursday night, the New York Times Lede blog posted a video that had been put up on YouTube by B'Tzelem, an Israeli human rights organization.

Next war will be InMyBackYard
I have often discussed - albeit not recently - how Israel's government is much more willing to let Sderot get hit than they are willing to let Tel Aviv get hit. You see Sderot is NotInMyBackYard. Its population is mostly poor, Sfardi and less educated, while Tel Aviv's is wealthy (or middle class), Ashkenazi and highly educated. But in the next war with Gaza, says Deputy Defense Minister Matan
Norwegian ambassador to Israel justifies 'Palestinian' terrorism
If you love Israel, then I guarantee you that after you read this post, you won't feel sorry for Norway anymore. Svein Sevje said in an Israeli newspaper interview Tuesday that while the Norwergian bomb and gun rampages that killed 76 people and Palestinian attacks should both be considered morally unacceptable, he wanted to "outline the similarity and the difference in the two cases."
Time for Israel to declare "Checkmate," but Bibi promises not to revoke Oslo instead
Chess master Steven Goldberg argues that Israel has a golden opportunity to checkmate the 'Palestinians.' And it must take advantage of that opportunity. Ruthlessly. The Palestinians are about to make their worst blunder yet – one that is potentially fatal to their cause.Specifically, the Palestinian Authority, knowing that its leadership status is failing and that the clock is about to run out,
'Palestinians' tell UN they're 'ready' to govern themselves
The 'Palestinian Authority's envoy to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, told the Security Council on Tuesday that the 'Palestinians' are 'ready' to govern themselves. "With international political and financial support this plan has reached its objectives as acknowledged by the international community,” he said. “We have completed our responsibilities and are ready to govern ourselves. “He added

Keep any eye on this. Hezbullah may have decided that they don't want UNIFIL troops in their way anymore. A few more incidents like this and the countries that supply the troops are likely to cut and run.

YES!!! Hamas going broke too!
As 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen arrives in Cairo for an emergency Arab League meeting to shnor (beg) for funds, it turns out that his peace partner in crime, Hamas, is going broke too. Hamas also seems to be facing a financial crisis and, like the Palestinian Authority, has not been able to pay full salaries to its civil servants in the Gaza Strip.Hamas legislator

Don't look for 'Human Rights Watch' to protest
Don't look for 'Human Rights Watch' to protest against it, but Saudi Arabia has proposed a law that would mandate jail time for criticizing the King, essentially squelching all dissent in the Islamic kingdom.

What's wrong with this picture?
Haaretz reports on a tour by six former Israeli diplomats and senior IDF officers who are claiming that the 1949 armistice lines, which were called the 'borders of Auschwitz' by Leftist Foreign Minister Abba Eban, are 'defensible.' What Haaretz doesn't mention, because it would be enough to arouse suspicion in most Israelis, is that the tour is being sponsored by J Street, the group that is
Falsa la foto dell'UFO triangolare belga degli anni 90
Ricordate la famosa fotografia dell'UFO triangolare, emblema dell'ondata di avvistamenti di UFO nel Belgio nel periodo che va dal 1989 al 1991? E' un falso.La clamorosa rivelazione viene proprio dall'autore della foto in oggetto.
Patrick- questo il nome dell'autore della foto - avrebbe creato il falso il giorno 4 aprile 1990, mentre si trovava nella località di Petit Rechain, vicino a Verviers.
All'epoca del caso, Patrick era un tornitore-riparatore 20enne.
Quella famosa diapositiva, emblema dell'ondata UFO belga, fece immediatamente il giro del mondo. Venne analizzata da esperti scienziati e militari dell'Ecole Royale Militaire Belge, che a quanto pare caddero nel tranello del presunto falso.
La testimonianza del falso, ripresa in diretta dalla emittente televisiva belga RTL TVI, è uscita a galla dopo oltre 20 anni dagli avvistamenti.
Patrick (immagine sopra intervistato dalla televisione belga), con una calma invidiabile, ha dichiarato che la famosa immagine dell'UFO belga con tre luci ai vertici di lato e una fonte luminosa centrale è solo un pannello di frigolite dipinto ed equipaggiato di tre riflettori. Un bricolage, realizzato in poche ore e fotografato di sera, uno scherzo ispirato alla ondata in Belgio di qualche mese prima.Ma non finisce qui. Qualche giorno dopo la diffusione della foto, si creò una psicosi UFO a Liegi, tanto che si organizzò una fantomatica "caccia all'UFO" (naturalmente senza esito), culminata con il sorvolo di caccia militari nella zona che ovviamente non trovarono nulla...perchè l'UFO triangolare del 4 aprile 1990 non esisteva.

Nota di Antonio De Comite: oltre vent'anni di certezze buttate al vento da questo signore che dovrebbe essere denunciato, quanto meno, per falso e procurato allarme. Una foto emblematica (anche se non sminuisce l'imponente casistica dell'ondata UFO in Belgio del 1990) che ha ingannato anche scienziati e militari - anche di grosso nome. Gli ufologi seri devono prendere dei grossi provvedimenti contro questi falsi e questi falsari. Non si può restare ancora muti e fermi.
Hamas executes two 'collaborators'
On the strength of orders issued by Judge Goldstone's favorite court system, the Hamas branch of the PLO executed two 'collaborators' on Tuesday morning. Gaza's Hamas government on Tuesday executed a Palestinian father and son convicted of spying for Israel in defiance of President Mahmoud Abbas, who by law has final say in implementing such rulings.Hamas officials said the men had confessed to

Pilota russo: "Aeronautica e KGB hanno frammenti di UFO"
In questi giorni si è tenuto l'ottantesimo anniversario della nascita di Marina Popovich, ex colonnello delle Forze Aeree dell'ex Unione Sovietica, ingegnere e leggendario pilota colladuatore sovietico (107 record mondiali di volo su 40 tipi di velivoli). Nata il giorno 20 luglio 1931, è stata sposata con l'astronauta Papel Popovich, matrimonio poi finito con un divorzio.E' sempre stata una battagliera in tema UFO, lottando strenuamente contro il muro di censura presente in quei determinati anni nell'ex Unione Sovietica. Tra l'altro, ha scritto alcuni libri sulla tematica tra cui "UFO sul pianeta Terra" pubblicato come prima edizione nel 2003 (ndr inedito in Italia).
Marina Popovich ha fatto parte della Commissione Studio Fenomeni Aerei Anomali presso la prestigiosa Accademia delle Scienze Russa.
Nel 1991 fece scalpore nell'opinione pubblica (ndr dichiarazioni oggi totalmente dimenticate) con delle affermazioni quanto meno intriganti. La Popovich ammise che "le Forze Aeree sovietiche e il KGB hanno a disposizione frammenti di cinque UFO precipitati. Il materiale è stato esaminato scientificamente e si è giunti alla conclusione che non potevano essere stati prodotti sulla Terra, utilizzando semplice tecnologia terrestre".
La Popovich, quindi, affermava che cinque UFO provenienti da altrove si erano schiantati sulla Terra e non erano di fabbricazione umana.
Inoltre, la Popovich elencava i cinque luoghi in cui si erano schiantati gli UFO: Tunguska (territorio di Krasnoyarsk), Novosibirsk, Tallinn (Estonia), Ordzhonikidze (Ossezia del Nord) e Dalnegorsk (territorio di Primorye).
Anche la pluri decorata aviatrice russa è stata testimone di avvistamenti di UFO. Tra cui ricorda quello accaduto nel 1983.
In quell'anno era in escursione sul Pamir con la figlia Oksana (all'epoca quindicenne). Mentre erano in quelle zone, Oksana urla: "Guarda, voltati!".
Sopra la gola di Varzob era presente un oggetto rotondo, stazionario, luminoso.
Andarono quindi nella direzione dell'oggetto. Una volta avvicinatesi videro che l'UFO aveva la forma di un classico "piatto", che in pochi secondi scomparve dietro ad una collina.

Why Ayalon's video matters
Jonathan Tobin makes an important point about the importance of Danny Ayalon's (seen here shaking hands with Saudi Arabia's Turki al-Faisal who later claimed he didn't shake hands with Ayalon) video.

Hurriyet: Palmer report delayed until August 20 to prepare Israeli public for apology
The United Nations has delayed the release of the Palmer Commission report on the Mavi Marmara incident to August 20, and Turkey's Daily Hurriyet is reporting that the delay was requested by Israel to give it time to prepare its public opinion for an apology to Turkey. The third postponement of the release of a U.N. panel’s report on last year’s Mavi Marmara incident came upon a request from
If Breivik is 'Islamophobic' why did he target blonde, blue-eyed Norwegians?
I have not seen anywhere a list of those murdered by Anders Behring Breivik in Norway last Friday. But as I have noted, the mainstream media is playing up this incident as an instance of 'Islamophobia.'Is there a connection between those two sentences? I suspect that there is. I suspect that the reason that the list of those who were murdered has not been released is because there was not a

Hamas' new weapons suppliers
Citing 'senior defense officials,' Haaretz reports that weapons smuggling into Gaza has dramatically increased since the Hosni Mubarak was deposed in Egypt (Hat Tip: Barry Rubin). In the past few months, Hamas has acquired improved high-trajectory rockets, ready-made explosive devices, anti-tank missiles and possibly anti-aircraft missiles, the sources told Haaretz.Anti-aircraft missiles could
Time is on our side
If it weren't the Three Weeks, I would have opened this post with a video of the Rolling Stones singing Time is on My Side. Because that's the theme of this post. David Goldman, who is best known for his posts as Spengler at Asia Times, cuts through the nonsense and points out that time is on Israel's side, despite what many of our politicians tell us (Hat Tip: Manhattan Dan). The claim that
More 'Palestinian' than the 'Palestinians'
Ziad J. Asali, the founder of the American Task Force for 'Palestine' lists four reasons why the 'Palestinians' should drop their UN bid (Hat Tip: Soccer Dad). First, the United States indicated unequivocally that it would veto in the Security Council a Palestinian application for U.N. membership, making such membership impossible at this time. Moreover, Congress has sent a strong message that
Turkey mentioned many times in Breivik manifesto
Turkey's Today's Zaman describes Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik as 'obsessed with Turkey' (Hat Tip: Joshua I). There are 237 references to Turks and Turkey in the manifesto, but this number does not take into account the many other references to Ottoman history (written mostly focusing on the state of religious minorities) and the Seljuk Empire. He accuses the Ottoman Turks of
Kurdistan: Is it only a matter of time?
The Jerusalem Post published an editorial on Sunday calling for a Kurdish state. According to prevalent mythology, the international community deems self-determination the natural and inalienable right of each nationality. That, at least, is the pretext for the worldwide clamor for a Palestinian state.Swept aside are reservations about the rather recent origin of claims to a separate Palestinian
