Being kind to the cruel
On February 6, the General Synod of the Church of England voted to impose a selective boycott of firms that do business with Israel. Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams supported the motion.

Ilan Halimi and Israel
Ilan Halimi's barbarous murder in France should awaken all Jews to the most significant truth of our times: Today, every Jew in the world is on the front lines of war.

The IAEA diversion
After reading the reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency's decision Saturday to refer Iran's nuclear program to the UN Security Council it is hard to know whether to laugh or cry. Teheran greeted the resolution with the indignant and combative announcement that it would cease all cooperation with IAEA inspectors. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad... [ Read entire Post ]

The lies we tell ourselves
On Thursday, for the second time this week, a group of Palestinian terrorists took over the European Union's offices in Gaza. Armed with rifles, the terrorists demanded an official apology from the Danish government for caricatures of Muhammad published in a Danish newspaper last September.
