Race, Rice; the baiting never ends with liberals
Right now, many in Washington — particularly the leadership of the Congressional Black Caucus — insist that Republican attacks on U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice are racist and, yawn, sexist. Such moral bullying makes white liberals feel better about themselves. And it scares moderates and centrists away from the Republican Party. Read more…

CROUSE: U.N. declares contraception basic human right
Janice Shaw Crouse | With the establishment of taxpayer-funded contraceptives and abortions through Obamacare, religious liberty has been compromised in the United States. Sadly, our nation — through its strong-arm tactics at the UNFPA — is taking on the “global challenge” of infringing on the religious liberties of people throughout the world. Read more…

Benghazi spotlights loss of journalistic integrity
Business Insider
Friday, November 23, 2012
Commentary
U.S. media purposely failed to report the details of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in Benghazi because of requests from the CIA and the Obama administration. If they suppressed coverage on behalf of a basic request, they sacrificed journalistic integrity in order to be complicit in the cover-up of botched covert operations. Read more…

CAROLINE GLICK WAS OPPOSED TO THE SURRENDER OF GAZA FOR WHICH SHE DESERVES GREAT CREDIT. ONE CAVIL WITH THIS COLUMN….THE ZOA WAS NO THE ONLY ORGANIZATION OPPOSED.

BUT THEN AGAIN, AFSI WAS FIRST IN LINE TO OPPOSE CAMP DAVID TREATY, OSLO ACCORDS, WYE SURRENDER OF HEBRON……RSK

The cease-fire agreement that Israel accepted Wednesday night to end
the current round of Palestinian rocket and missile attacks is not a
good deal for Israel by any stretch of the imagination.

At best, Israel and Hamas are placed on the same moral plane. The
cease-fire erases the distinction between Israel, a peace-seeking
liberal democracy that wants simply to defend its citizens, and Hamas,
a genocidal jihadist terrorist outfit that seeks the eradication of the
Jewish people and the destruction of Israel.

http://frontpagemag.com/2012/dgreenfield/there-is-no-ceasefire/print/ The ceasefire began the way that the war did; with a flight of rockets falling from the sky over Israel’s battered south where working class families wait to learn if they will have to spend the night in safe rooms and shelters. There is no ceasefire, despite declarations from the international community to the […]

http://frontpagemag.com/2012/david-goldman/obama-legitimizes-morsis-protection-racket/ Hamas fires 275 rockets at Israel and is rewarded with de facto acceptance as a legitimate negotiating partner in the Middle East peace process, as well as with a relaxation of the Israeli blockade of the Gaza coast. Israel is prevented from exacting a price for Hamas’ actions sufficient to deter future attacks or […]

The Absurdity of Treating a Terrorist Gang Like a State

http://frontpagemag.com/2012/bruce-thornton/the-absurdity-of-treating-a-terrorist-gang-like-a-state/print/

The currently suspended missile duel between Israel and Hamas exposes yet again the surreal absurdity of the way the international community handles this conflict between a democratic state and a terrorist gang. Yesterday’s cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas is another example of the folly of treating a bunch of murderers like a legitimate government.

Consider, for example, the way a terrorist outfit like Hamas, self-defined in its charter by its genocidal goals, is treated as if it were a legitimate state. But Hamas is not a government that rules over a sovereign territory defined by international borders. If you want a recent graphic illustration of Hamas’ true nature, peruse this video of the aftermath of the summary execution of 6 accused “collaborators.” Or consider Hamas’ official television coverage of this week’s terrorist bombing of a bus in Israel. Or contemplate the barbarity of using its own “citizens” as human shields for its munitions dumps and rocket launchers. Calling Hamas honcho Ismail Haniyeh a “Prime Minister,” as virtually every world government and news organization does, doesn’t mean he is actually a prime minister, no matter how many elections are held. These titles and voting procedures do not constitute a legitimate government that should be recognized as such by the world community as though it respects international laws and treaties like the Geneva Conventions. Let alone should this façade of political legitimacy rationalize the millions of dollars Western governments give to Hamas under the guise of U.N. aid for social services, freeing up funds for purchasing weapons and munitions.
