Palestinian Refugees Forever? by Alexander Joffe and Asaf Romirowsky

  http://www.romirowsky.com/11757/palestinian-refugees-forever Palestinian identity is founded in on three parts. One is that resistance to Israel is permanent and holy. Another is that Palestinians are, individually and communally, refugees, made so at the hands of Israel. The third part is that the world, specifically the United Nations and Western countries, must support these refugees until […]

MARK STEYN: THE FACEBOOK CALIPHATE

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/301075/facebook-caliphate-mark-steyn  So how’s that old Arab Spring going? You remember — the “Facebook Revolution.” As I write, they’re counting the votes in Egypt’s presidential election, so by the time you read this the pecking order may have changed somewhat. But currently in first place is the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi, who in an inspiring […]

ANDREW McCARTHY: CHRISTIE IS NOT ONE OF US *****

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/301071/christie-not-one-us-andrew-c-mccarthy New Jersey could do much worse, but he is not conservative. I feel something washing over me. I’m standing in New Jersey, so it’s probably red ink. No, wait a minute — it’s glowing ink! It could only be one thing: more conservative hagiography about the Garden State’s GOP governor. Chris Christie is so […]

DR. MARTIN SHERMAN: STUPIDITY ON STEROIDS *****

http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=271380

The latest – and loopiest – ‘peace’ formula advanced by the former head of the security services is… submission in slow motion.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me – A proverb of disputed origin

Stupid is as stupid does – From the movie, Forest Gump

There is something about the discourse on the Palestinian issue that seems to induce the total evaporation of the mental faculties of otherwise ostensibly intelligent human beings.

Perplexing questions

How else can we explain the occurrence of so many perplexing – and vexing – phenomena? For example: Why is it that the feasibility of Palestinian statehood has been repeatedly disproven, but somehow never discredited – and certainly never discarded? How can it be that the land-for-peace formula has been undermined neither by the accumulation of past failures nor the accumulating evidence of its future implausibility? What makes any professed Zionist advocate a policy whose prospects for success are so slim and whose chances of ruinous failure so great?

Why do so many, who purportedly endorse rationality in human behavior, embrace such irrationality in their political credos?

But even more disturbing questions as to the conduct and motives of adherents/advocates of Palestinian statehood and the landfor- peace formula arise from their determined denial of the failure of their dogmatic doctrine and the devastation that endeavors to implement it have wrought.

Counting Palestinians by Shoshana Bryen

http://www.jewishpolicycenter.org/3065/counting-palestinians Senator Mark Kirk (R., Ill.) has offered an amendment to the FY 2013 funding bill for the State Department that would require the Department to provide two numbers to Congress: 1) the number of Palestinians physically displaced from their homes in what became Israel in 1948, and 2) the number of their descendants administered […]

RUTHIE BLUM: ISRAELIS AND RAHEL ATTIAS

http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=1945 Israelis and Rahel Attias More deaths in Israel have been caused by car accidents than by war and terrorism put together. So trite is this by now that it’s become a macabre joke, as well as the focus of Knesset committees and private organizations. Indeed, we mothers often wonder which milestone deserves a greater […]

Palestinian Propagandizing Of American Children : Bruce Kesler

http://maggiesfarm.anotherdotcom.com/archives/19823-Palestinian-Propagandizing-Of-American-Children.html Palestinian Propagandizing Of American Children For those of you who, like I, enjoy “world music” it is saddening that a major venue in San Diego which largely targets children is sponsoring pro-Palestinian propaganda from a virulent anti-Israel, anti-US group operating under the misleading name Middle East Children’s Alliance, actually an activist anti-US, anti-Israel group. […]

VICTOR SHARPE: FROM OUT OF ZION

http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/sharpe/120525 What have the United States, China and Israel in common? You may be surprised at the answer. But first, compare their respective populations. The U.S has a population of some 313 million people. China has 1.4 billion. Israel, on the other hand, has a population of only 7 million and its landmass is microscopic […]

Morton A. Klein and Daniel Mandel: We Ignore Egypt at our Peril

We Ignore Egypt Situation at Our Peril Since the toppling of the Hosni Mubarak regime last year, matters in Egypt – and thus in the Egyptian/Israeli relationship and in the surrounding Middle East – have steadily gone from bad to worse. Strangely, few are taking notice. The Obama Administration actively encouraged the inclusion of the […]

AMIL IMANI ON THE MULLAHS: WHAT THEY SAY IS NOT WHAT THEY MEAN, AND WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT WHAT YOU GET

http://newmediajournal.us/indx.php/item/5681 Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson: What Do Iran’s Mullahs Want? Amil Imani May 24, 2012 In dealing with the mullahs ruling Iran, what you see is not what you get, and what you hear is not what they mean. Transparency and honesty are not their strong suit. So, we need a first-rate sleuth to […]
