To Kill a Terrorist

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

I don’t know whether Israel did or did not assassinate the leader of the Hamas military wing, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. But assuming for argument’s sake that the Mossad made the hit, did it have the right to engage in this “extrajudicial assassination?” Not all extrajudicial killings are unlawful. Every soldier who kills an enemy combatant engages […]

Why The Left Hates Im Tirtzu

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

By: Steven Plaut Israel’s Im Tirtzu student organization bills itself as the “Second Zionist Revolution.” Until a few weeks ago, that sounded like youthful bravado.

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

BY CAROLINE GLICK Israel’s is the only government that can force the rest of the world to recognize that Abbas is not an ally. Fahmi Shabaneh is an odd candidate for dissident status.

By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

by Lori Lowenthal Marcus Several news stories recently covered what was cast as a diplomatic faux pas by Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon.

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

The Associated Press reports: “Twelve Afghans died Sunday when two rockets fired at insurgents missed their targets and struck house during the second day of NATO’s most ambitious effort yet to break the militants’ grip on the country’s dangerous south.” Those twelve Afghans are, of course, civilians, a word the report omits in the lead, […]

Column One: Sarah Palin’s friendship

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

By CAROLINE GLICK 12/02/2010 US President Barack Obama is an inept, incompetent leader. More than his failure to pass his domestic agenda on health care and global warming despite his Democratic Party’s control over both houses of Congress, Iran’s announcement on Thursday that it is a nuclear power and has the capacity to produce weapons-grade […]

The Railroading of Geert Wilders

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

The Stalinist-show-trial aspect of the Geert Wilders “hate speech” trial in the Netherlands was thrown into sharp relief last week when the Amsterdam District Court refused to allow Wilders to call fifteen of the eighteen witnesses he had hoped to bring forward in his defense. Wilders in response was characteristically direct: “This Court is not […]
