by Rabbi Benjamin Blech Aish.com Movie pioneer Samuel Goldwyn, in his now classic line about the film industry, concluded that “Pictures are for entertainment; messages should be delivered by Western Union.” By that standard A Mighty Heart should never have been made. It is painful to watch the true story of journalist Daniel Pearl whose […]

Caroline Glick, THE JERUSALEM POST Jul. 9, 2007 Will the US and Israeli belief that a hero will suddenly appear to save the day for the Palestinians never die? Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and US President George W. Bush are in for a big disappointment. Palestinian and Arab sources say that with the scheduled return […]

Nadia Matar As subscribers to the Hatzofeh and Mekor Rishon newspapers, we receive the Shabbat issues on Thursday morning. I was quite surprised this Thursday to see the headline in the Shabbat Hatzofeh edition: “Yesha: The Anger at the State Has Been Replaced by Optimism.” This headline left me speechless, and I immediately felt the […]

Joseph Farah WND There’s nothing I hate more than cleaning up after Jimmy Carter’s verbal messes. It’s really a full-time job. And I have several already. But I couldn’t let this one go unanswered. During a speech to Ireland’s eighth annual Forum on Human Rights, the 83-year-old former president called for recognition of one of […]

MEMRI reported: “An article in the Iranian weekly Sobh-e Sadeq, circulated among the Revolutionary Guards, states that Fatah documents captured by Hamas have […]

Rael Jean Isaac OUTPOST Who could make this stuff up? Zimbabwe has been elected to chair the UN Commission on Sustainable Development. Under the iron grip of Big Man Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe enjoys the world’s highest inflation rate (over 2000%), mass unemployment, famine, the routine arrest, beating (and often murder) of any who dare to […]

si Leibler, THE JERUSALEM POST Jul. 3, 2007 As events unfold in the wake of the Hamas Gaza takeover, there is a sense of deja vu. Despite the bloody consequences of our largely self-inflicted policies, we seem not to have learned any lessons from the bitter past. Our leaders mindlessly repeat drivel about Mahmoud Abbas […]

Herbert Zweibon Outpost Increasingly Israel looks for its defense abroad. In Lebanon it relies upon a UN force, in Gaza upon EU monitors. Olmert looks to the Americans to take care of Iran’s nuclear threat to Israel. Even worse, Israel looks to the EU and the U.S. for moral approval. To recognize how absurd and […]

by Mladen Andrijasevic Arutz Sheva I do not want to be part of this experiment. The Associated Press reported on June 10 that Hamas kidnapped a Fatah officer and threw him off of a 15-story building.
