http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/347735/damned-foolishness-would-be-setting-benghazi-syria-senator-mccain If Saturday Night Live or the Onion were doing a John McCain skit, I doubt they could come up with something more ludicrous than the real Maverick being interviewed on Charlie Rose. Senator McCain was grousing about what he asserts is the Obama administration’s shifting position on arming the jihadist-rife “rebels” in Syria. As the Washington […]

Dear Dersh: Look what some idiot posted and used your name. You’re a lawyer….sue the stupid bastard!!!! rsk

Alan M. Dershowitz’s Perspective: There are a small number of extremely vocal right-wing Jews who believe that retaining the entire West Bank is more important than trying to make peace with the Palestinians. Some of them believe that God gave the Jewish people the West Bank and it is a sin to give any of it up.
It was that kind of thinking that led to the assassination of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin when he tried to exchange land for peace with the Palestinians. There are others who believe that because Jews lived in Judea and Samaria thousands of years ago, Israel has no right to end any current Jewish settlement on the West Bank.
There are still others who believe that it is foolish even to try to trade land for peace with the Palestinians, since the Palestinian leadership has no real interest in arriving at a peaceful solution.
This noisy clack boos disrespectfully when they hear the name of President Obama, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or anyone else who favors a two-state solution that does not compromise Israel’s security.
I have now joined this distinguished company of people who get booed for advocating territorial compromise in the interest of peace. I was booed and jeered at The Jerusalem Post Conference on April 28, 2013 when I proposed an idea for restarting peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.
These same people cheered loudly when Carolyn Glick, a right-wing opponent of any territorial compromise, announced that: “There are no competing narratives. There is only the truth.” For her, the only truth lies in history and archeology. Of course it is true that the Jews lived on the West Bank for many years two millennia ago. (It is equally true that Native Americans populated Manhattan Island as recently as four centuries ago.)

Two key players in this macabre, if illuminating saga have emerged—Ruslan Tsarni, uncle of […]

This time they have attacked Glenn Beck for using imagery that they claimed was Nazi at the NRA convention. The problem is that Beck did not use a mock-up of Mayor Bloomberg giving the Nazi salute — the image was of Mayor Bloomberg in a famous […]

Prime Minister Netanyahu will not be in Israel for Yom Yerushalayim this year, he will be visiting […]

Jed Babbin: Obama is not done cutting defense just yet
April was a pretty awful month for President Obama, but it’s too early for Republicans to start celebrating his political demise.
People keep trying to compress the political calendar, wanting to convince us that time is running out for Obama, even though he’s barely past 100 days in his second term.
Yes, Obama’s gun control initiative was a resounding failure. It didn’t pass the Democrat-controlled Senate. California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s assault weapons ban got only 40 votes.
And, yes, the Gang of Eight’s immigration reform bill may go precisely nowhere because the House wants to carve out parts of the “comprehensive” approach and afford them real debate rather than rushing the whole 800-plus-page bill through without scrutiny as the Senate seems intent to do.
Those issues aren’t dead by any means, but the question is whether Obama’s political skill is enough to revive them.

A young White House speechwriter may be responsible for concocting the official lies about last September’s deadly terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya.
The Obama administration’s rapidly unravelling narrative about what happened at the U.S. consulate in Libya’s second-largest city may have been cooked up by creative writer Ben Rhodes, the president’s 30-something Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting.
The origin of the administration’s desperate election-season fabrications may come up today as a congressional committee hears from three government whistleblowers who are expected to contradict the administration’s version of the events of Sept. 11, 2012.
There is little doubt now that the Obama White House twisted the facts for partisan political advantage.
Stephen F. Hayes of the Weekly Standard reports that the CIA’s talking points about what happened in Benghazi were manipulated by senior Obama administration officials as they “knowingly misled the country” in the days following the attacks.
That fog of misinformation was apparently calculated to deflect blame away from the Obama administration last September and October long enough to get an embattled president with an embarrassing national security record reelected.
