http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/david-james/dhimmitude-in-tennessee/print/ Tennessee Islamists recently complained to their friend, Fox Channel 17 news reporter Sky Arnold, about a pamphlet that was inadvertently included in a pro-Israel booth at a school cultural/heritage fair. Looking to incite the Muslim community, the complainants posted this image of the pamphlet that addressed anti-Israel hate messages in Palestinian school materials. The […]

f the left’s foreign policy these days had a slogan, it would be, “Boycott Israel, not Iran.” The double standard, dishonest as it is ugly, is also the motto of Obama’s foreign policy, which benevolently blesses Iran’s nuclear program with one outstretched hand in the name of peace and chokes concessions out of Israel to the terrorists with the other also in the name of peace.
Both peace plans are going disastrously according to plan.
Iran has made it clear that it will dismantle nothing and that it will go on developing ballistic missiles and nuclear technology. Its military commanders threaten to attack the United States and boast that their ships are encroaching on America’s maritime borders.
The Palestinian Authority has shed the last vestiges of democracy as its leader begins the tenth year of a four-year term and its elected legislature has been discarded in favor of the PLO Council. Instead of a representative government, the Palestinian Authority has reverted back to what it always was; the PLO.
A Palestinian state has receded into the figment of a dream as elections have become a distant memory and Hamas continues to hold Gaza, leaving a PLO mafia in the West Bank to maintain its monopoly on cigarettes and other commodities while passing around Western aid money to its terrorist militias.
The more Kerry pressures Israel, the more bellicose PLO leaders have become. Fatah officials have accused Kerry of threatening to poison Abbas, the Palestinian Authority’s current President-for-Life. The accusation is ridiculous, but the PLO, like Iran, is feeling emboldened by American weakness.
The softer American power gets, the harder its enemies hit.

I’m not quite sure what Israel did to the Presbyterians, but it must have been pretty bad.
Take the recent Zionism Unsettled report released by the Presbyterian Church (USA)’s quasi-official “Israel Palestine Mission Network.” Glossy, high-color, and bundled with a nifty DVD, the report provides “an invaluable guide to deeper understanding” of what just might be the universe’s most important conflict.
Its conclusion is straightforward: Zionism is the ultimate source of the world’s problems and those Jews and Christians who support Jewish sovereignty (or should I say “the Zionist quest for demographic control of the land”) are no better than war criminals for sanctioning Israel’s colonization of the Palestinian homeland.
The Presbyterians who drafted this shameless polemic have one goal in mind: to sway delegates who will be attending the PC-USA’s June assembly to vote in favor of divesting from Israel. A similar measure was narrowly defeated in 2012; this year’s vote is expected to be just as close.
The good news for Israelis is that not all Christians, not all Protestants, not all Reformed churches, and not even all Presbyterians support this heinous initiative. We’re talking about a small, albeit loud and powerful, faction within Christianity that – for whatever reason – has nothing better to do than to criticize the Jewish state. Saudi Arabia, China, Iran, and North Korea no doubt look on with mild amusement.
http://pjmedia.com/blog/congress-warned-about-evolution-of-jihadist-networks/?print=1 WASHINGTON – Terrorism experts warned Congress last week that Islamist terrorist groups are expanding in complex networks across the Middle East, highlighting the evolving nature of the threat these organizations pose to the region. Seth Jones, a national security analyst with the RAND Corporation, told the House Armed Services Committee that there has been […]
http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2014/02/12/dont-celebrate-eric-holders-departure/?print=1 Nobody should celebrate the announcement that Attorney General Eric Holder will be leaving the administration this year. Whoever replaces Holder will be just as radical and ideological. What the replacement will enjoy, however, is a clean slate. Some will naively assume a new attorney general means a fresh start and an attorney general better […]
http://pjmedia.com/spengler/2014/02/12/israel-at-a-point-of-no-return-in-the-right-direction/ I should like to advance a conjecture which I lack the qualifications to adequately develop: The global Left, and the Israeli Left most of all, perceives that the clock is running out, and has worked itself up into a froth of hysteria against Israel. The world of John Lennon’s “Imagine,” where there are no […]
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/371025/delaying-obamacare-death-john-daniel-davidson Given the number and frequency of the Obama administration’s delays of Obamacare — more than a dozen, by some counts — it’s clear that the White House believes the law is as malleable as it needs it to be and that almost any alteration of it falls within the purview of executive authority. But […]
http://www.nationalreview.com/node/371002/print We didn’t need the Olympics to be reminded that Vladimir Putin still has a soft spot for his nation’s defunct Communist system. In 2009, Russian state television aired a documentary called “The Wall.” It detailed how, as a KGB major in Dresden in 1989, he faced down a crowd of East German dissidents who […]
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/370985/obamas-newspeak-victor-davis-hanson The meaning of words, and history itself, are malleable when it comes to our president and his record. The nightmare societies portrayed in the George Orwell novels “1984 and Animal Farm gave us the word “Orwellian.” That adjective reflects a vast government’s efforts not just to deceive and control the people, but also to […]

Fox News: Is the latest delay of ObamaCare regulations politically motivated? Consider […]
