Can a Nuclear Attack on Israel Be Compared Legitimately with the Holocaust?

March 6th, 2012

By Dan Miller It can be and should be. According to this article by the editor-in-chief of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Prime Minister Netanyahu’s AIPAC speech moved closer than ever to the point of no return en route to war with Iran. Netanyahu compared Iran to Nazi Germany, its nuclear facilities to death camps, and [...]

Two Elderly Posts about the Murders of the Fogel Family

February 23rd, 2012

By Dan Miller In view of the current and worsening situations in Israel and in enemy states, these articles still seem relevant. Those who forsake humanity should have no legitimate expectation of being accorded the human rights they deny to others. Yet many insist otherwise and President Obama seems to be among them. Does he [...]

Murderers of the Fogel Family in Israel Are Heroes

January 29th, 2012

By Dan Miller U.S warmongers who urinate on dead Taliban heroes are war criminals. According to this article, Palestinian television aired an interview with the relatives of the Fogel family murderers earlier this month, praising the two cousins convicted with the brutal attack as “heroes.” The broadcast was aired as part of a weekly show [...]

Human Rights and Territory for Mexican Gangs

May 23rd, 2011

By Dan Miller What’s good for Israel is good for Mexico and the United States. Freedom and territory for Zeta! Israel has been foolhardy in her selfish opposition to President Obama’s wise demands that our Palestinian comrades be given more lebensraum in Israel as well as the human rights they deserve. More pressure and less [...]

Hamas Is a Totally Credible Partner for Peace

May 21st, 2011

By Dan Miller Everybody (except Israel) wants peace, freedom and democracy for all. Herr Hitler wrote Mein Kamph and many took it lightly; we were privileged to experience the pleasures of World War II. The Koran has some really cool, funny stuff as well; many take it lightly so that we may eventually experience similar [...]

A Soft Spot for Jimmy Carter

April 26th, 2011

By Tom Carter My friend Dan Miller had some fun with Jimmy Carter in the article just below, and with good reason. In recent years, anyway, President Carter has behaved in questionable ways, particularly on issues involving Israel and the Palestinians. When he launches off to places like North Korea, explicitly criticizing sanctions and implicitly [...]

Palestinian Heroes Little Worse than Venomous Snakes

March 14th, 2011

By Dan Miller Very lightly reported in the principal media, several heroes of Palestine “broke into the house of Udi and Ruth Fogel (36 and 35 years old, respectively), and stabbed them to death along with their 3-month-old daughter, Hadas, and two sons, Elad (3 years old) and Yoav (11).” YouTube promptly removed a video [...]

It’s All Hillary’s Fault

February 13th, 2011

By Nancy Morgan The New York Times is reporting that the mixed messages received from the White House on the Egyptian crisis were the fault of the State Department: “A president who himself is often torn between idealism and pragmatism was navigating the counsel of a traditional foreign policy establishment led by Mrs. Clinton, Mr. [...]

Saudis Arrest Israeli Buzzard

January 6th, 2011

By Tom Carter There are things you just can’t make up, and it seems there are more and more of them every day. The headline on Drudge said, Vulture tagged by Israeli scientists flies into Saudi Arabia — arrested for being a spy! I passed on two other absurd headlines — “Alec Baldwin ‘very, very [...]

October 4th, 2010

By Brianna Aubin Last night, I attended a speech given by Tabby Davoodi, an Iranian Jew whose family escaped from the Islamic Republic in 1988 and who was invited to speak at the University of Illinois about the Iranian regime and her experiences growing up there before she and her family fled to America. “I’m [...]

The Lesson of Hank Rearden

September 15th, 2010

By Brianna Aubin In Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged, the character Hank Rearden was a supremely moral man whose faults sprang from his conflicts with the destructive moral code of his enemies, and an inability to understand the nature and purpose of those enemies. In Atlas, Rand literally cast the enemies of Rearden (and the other heroes of the novel) as [...]

Fighting Fire With Satire

July 7th, 2010

By Brianna Aubin Collectivism at home, terrorism abroad, infighting amongst friends and bold moves by our enemies… these are dark days. These threats are serious and as anyone here knows, I do take them seriously to the limit of my abilities. But that doesn’t mean that every once in a while, you can’t laugh at [...]

Hating Jews

July 5th, 2010

Israeli Faces Hit Palestinian Fists: Israel Censured

June 15th, 2010

By Brianna Aubin Israel faced international condemnation last week after an incident in which nine people were shot on board a “Freedom Flotilla” which had been sent to deliver food, medical supplies, knives and PR slingshots to the Gaza strip.

By Brianna Aubin Mosab Hassan Yousef (watch video here), the Palestinian son of a high ranking Hamas member who turned spy for the Israeli Shin Bet and saved hundreds of lives through his aid in the prevention of terror attacks, is at risk of being deported from the U.S. back to the West Bank on [...]

Helen Thomas

June 12th, 2010

By Larry Ennis Having become a victim of old age myself, I have a certain affinity for Helen Thomas and old people in general. Never a fan of Thomas because of her liberal venom and self-righteousness, I should be delighted with her present predicament. I say “should” be, but in fact I’m far from it. [...]

The Myth of the “Moderate” Muslim

May 20th, 2010

By Brianna Aubin I recently exchanged some correspondence with a Columbia classical liberal named Andrew Mellon (pseudonym). The subject was Islamic extremism. I had made a comment on one of his blog posts saying that I believed the majority of Muslims just wanted to go about their daily lives, just like the majority of most [...]

Lunatics, Once Objects of Derision, Now Govern

April 13th, 2010

By Dan Miller Our souls soles are now free to soar, but we must love and understand all critters great and small. Many years ago, in a less enlightened age, some people entertained themselves by visiting lunatic asylums in Washington, D.C. and making fun of the inmates. It was a cruel and inhumane exercise. Things [...]
