The term Judenrein means an area cleansed of Jews. In the past, this German concept was applied throughout Europe. Now we hear American and other liberals saying that Jewish communities on the biblical land of Judea and Samaria, the cradle of the Jewish nation, must be emptied of all their inhabitants, so that even in […]

“You will sooner or later pay for your pack of lies,” read one threatening message last week to the author of The Trouble with Islam: A Wake-up Call for Honesty and Change. In that book, just released in Canada, Irshad Manji, 34, explores such usually taboo themes as anti-Semitism, slavery and the inferior treatment of […]

“‘Intellectual thugs,” huffed Rashid Khalidi, now of Columbia University. “Cyber-stalking,” whined Juan Cole of the University of Michigan. “Crude McCarthyism” sniffed David Bartram of the University of Reading. “Totalitarian” thundered Jenine Abboushi of New York University.

There’s a debate raging in Jerusalem and in Washington about whether it is appropriate to exile Yasser Arafat to expel him from the Palestinian Authority. I say don’t expel him… shoot him. Yasser Arafat is responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent Israeli citizens, the lynching deaths of untold Arabs and the killing of […]
