Two major arms sales were announced over the weekend. First, the US announced that it is planning to sell Saudi Arabia $20 billion in advanced weapons systems, including Joint Direct Attack Munition kits or JDAMs that are capable of transforming regular gravitational bombs into precision-guided "smart" weapons. Largely in an attempt to neutralize Congressional opposition... [ Read entire Post ]

Iran, 2; Israel 0
Jafar Kiani was an anonymous Iranian prisoner until earlier in the month he became the first Iranian to be stoned to death since 2002. Iran's decision to revert to domestic barbarism is just one aspect of the regime's strategy for terrorizing its people sufficiently to quell all pockets of resistance to its rule. The regime's...

An Idiot's Guide To Diplomacy
The central purpost of a state's foreign ministry is to use the tools of diplomacy to advance the state’s national interest. This simple truth has apparently escaped the attention of Israel’s Foreign Ministry and Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni. This month Israel extended an official invitation to Martin Scheinin, the UN Human Rights Council’s Special Rapporteur for... [ Read entire Post ]

The Olmert government's assault on Zionism
Jewish history throughout the ages has proven incontrovertibly that Zionism, the assertion of Jewish rights and control over the Land of Israel and the affirmation of Jewish national identity, is the solution to most of the problems that have beset the Jews since the time of Abraham. In the Land of Israel, as a nation... [ Read entire Post ]

Bush, the talented politician
In the twilight of George W. Bush's presidency, the president has shown himself to be a small and unpopular leader, but a fairly good politician. A good politician is someone who knows how to get people to support him by making them believe that he agrees with them, even when the policies he advances are... [ Read entire Post ]

The joke's on us
'It's all a joke. It's just a joke." That's how the Palestinian terror commanders in Judea and Samaria explained the show they made of handing in their weapons to Fatah commander Mahmoud Abbas's official militias over the weekend. "This is all a big joke," they told reporters while posing for pictures. "Abbas asked us to... [ Read entire Post ]

The lost lessons of Lebanon
On Wednesday, it was reported that the UN has determined that Mount Dov, otherwise known as the Shaba Farms, belongs to Lebanon and that Israel must relinquish the area to UN control ahead of its transfer to Lebanon. Although the UN later denied the report, true or false it reminded us that since last summer's... [ Read entire Post ]

No heroes in Act Three
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 of Egypt's intelligence detail to Gaza next week,... [ Read entire Post ]

Don't worry, be happy!
Any doubt that Hamas is an Iranian proxy was dispelled this week by a snippet on the Middle East Media Research Institute's blog. MEMRI reported: "An article in the Iranian weekly Sobh-e Sadeq, circulated among the Revolutionary Guards, states that Fatah documents captured by Hamas have revealed that Egypt played a role in instigating the...

Olmert's international coalitions
Today Hamas consolidates its power in Gaza and plans its next moves in Judea and Samaria. Fatah - its main competitor - has collapsed. Fatah was plunged into a state of organizational shock last month after its US-trained militias surrendered control of Gaza to Hamas and its US-benighted commanders fled the area. Although with sufficient... [ Read entire Post ]
