It’s hard to know exactly how affluent her family had actually been in Eastern Europe. The fact that her father had already moved to America was a good indication that things hadn’t […]

At first glance, the two would seem to have little in common — one memorializes the millions of European Jews annihilated by Nazi Germany; the other commemorates the deliverance of the Jews from slavery in ancient Egypt.

Is The Climate Consensus Beginning to Change? URL to article: http://frontpagemag.com/2012/04/18/is-the-climate-consensus-beginning-to-change/ The current scientific consensus on Global Warming and Climate Change (or Global Weirding or Global Climactic Disruption, etc.) may be slowly shifting away from the catastrophism of the United Nations IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report. True, the shift has been tentative. Carbon-driven global warming was […]
North Korea, Iran, and the Lessons of History
URL to article: http://frontpagemag.com/2012/04/18/north-korea-iran-and-the-lessons-of-history/
Comparing our foreign policy to the feckless behavior of England and France in the Thirties is often dismissed as an overused and simplistic historical analogy. But when one watches our government pursue appeasing policies toward North Korea and Iran that over and over repeat the very same errors and delusions of that awful decade, then as Juvenal said about writing satire, it’s hard not to make those comparisons.
70 Years Since Doolittle Raid on Tokyo Posted By Daniel Mandel
http://frontpagemag.com/2012/04/18/70-years-since-doolittle-raid-on-tokyo/print/
On this day seventy years ago (April 18, 1942), America’s already famous pioneer aviator and air force Lieutenant-Colonel James H. Doolittle (1896-1993) led the intrepid and celebrated first U.S. air raid on Tokyo. The raid, carried out by 80 airman and 16 specially modified B-25 Mitchell bombers launched from the windswept deck of the carrier Hornet, did much to dissipate the darkness and foreboding overhanging the Pacific war.
In the four and half months since the surprise attack upon U.S. naval and air installations at Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy’s Vice-Admiral Chuichi Nagumo’s aircraft carriers, Japan had enjoyed one success after another: the seizure of Guam; the surrender of Hong Kong and later Singapore; the destruction from the air of the British battleship Prince of Wales and the battle-cruiser Repulse; the further destruction of the British aircraft carrier Hermes and the cruisers Dorsetshire and Cornwall off Ceylon; the invasion of a brace of Pacific islands, including the Philippines and New Guinea, the bombing of Darwin in Australia’s Northern Territory and so on. Imperial Japan had appeared unstoppable. The Doolittle Raid permitted a different inference.
In a day, the notion that Japan was invulnerable to attack because of its sudden, far-flung conquests and the long arm of its navy was dissolved. The U.S. Navy had demonstrated that it could penetrate to within range of metropolitan Japan and launch a squadron of medium bombers upon the imperial capital itself.

Palestine Press reports that a gang specializing in exhuming and dissecting bodies is operating in Gaza. According to the report, the bodies are exhumed at night, the organs are then stolen and smuggled through the tunnels to Egypt where they are sold at high prices.
The other day body parts were found in a cemetery near Al-Ahli Hospital. According to Palestine Press, there are four doctors in this gang and some of the members of the gang may be Hamas members.
Here is video of Hamas forces finding the bags and their contents

Pro-Israel Maxine Dovere Socks It To Ken O’Keefe & Co On Press TV (video)
Press TV, the satellite news and current affairs channel of that impeccable bastion of liberty, equality, fraternity and (of course) sorority, presents a so-called “analysis” of the Flytilla fiasco. (That’s the one in which a participant left a swastika on the wall of a holding cell at Tel Aviv airport. Perhaps the Israeli authorities should release the culprit’s name. After all, the participants sought publicity.)
There’s also a studio discussion between talking heads in different locations: it seems that the two Israel-bashing men can’t bring themselves to be polite to the pro-Israel Ms Dovero.
O’Keefe calls her “this delusional woman in New York” and Irish activist Derek Graham, ensconced in Gaza, “this woman”.
Ms Dovere makes excellent points, which the bossy-voiced studio anchor, enveloped in voluminous robes, hastens to cut short.
O’Keefe is given the final say, and he invokes the influence of “powers … bankers” …

‘A conservative,” the old cliché goes, “is a liberal who has been mugged.” But some liberals who are mugged refuse to admit that it happened.
Observe the rough treatment to which the new American ambassador in Moscow, Michael McFaul, has been subjected since his appointment last January. Since his arrival, the ambassador has been constantly accused in the media of stirring up anti-government protests, and lately he has been ambushed by Russian state-TV crews at his meetings, official and unofficial, suggesting that his phone was tapped. This comes on top of numerous other strong indications that the Obama administration’s attempts to “reset” relations with Russia — a policy spearheaded by Mr. McFaul — have failed. But while McFaul has complained loudly about his recent treatment, he does not seem to realize that he has been mugged in a much broader sense.
Designed ostensibly for three main purposes — to secure Russian cooperation in thwarting the nuclear ambitions of Iran, promote disarmament, and assure supplies to Afghanistan from the north — the “reset” policy has failed miserably, with the partial exception of the last item. Russia now protects Iran’s nuclear ambitions rather openly. It also supports and arms the genocidal regime in Syria, and has succeeded in postponing missile defense in Europe, to the great detriment of our relations with the pro-American Eastern Europeans. It continues to display its neo-imperialist designs, from South Ossetia and Abkhazia in Georgia to Transnistria in Moldova, as well as in its new Eurasian Union scheme.
