Despite inauspicious beginnings, following an overnight calm, by Thursday morning (11/22/12), senior Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officials maintained they believe Hamas and […]

The White House Photo Office has declined CBS News requests to release images taken of US officials during the Sept. 11 Benghazi attacks. CBS News first requested the images on Oct. 31. In the past, the White House has released photos showing US officials during national security incidents. A half dozen […]

Regarding America’s war in Vietnam, Henry Kissinger once noted that “the guerrilla wins if he does not lose. The conventional army loses if it does not win.” Regarding Israel’s latest war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the same considerations apply. No wonder Wednesday’s […]

http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=2938 After eight days of intensive long-range rocket fire from the Gaza Strip into Israeli population centers and retaliatory Israeli airstrikes against Hamas terrorist chiefs and infrastructure, a cease-fire was declared on Wednesday evening. This temporary truce was not reached between the parties, however. Rather, it was brokered and announced by the United States and […]

WILL THE ABORTIONISTAS AND WHINERS OF THE “WOMEN’S MOVEMENT’ SEE THIS OR CARE?….RSK
The Wahhabi Kingdom is one ass-backward place.
(AFP) – Denied the right to travel without consent from their male guardians and banned from driving, women in Saudi Arabia are now monitored by an electronic system that tracks any cross-border movements.
Since last week, Saudi women’s male guardians began receiving text messages on their phones informing them when women under their custody leave the country, even if they are travelling together.
Manal al-Sherif, who became the symbol of a campaign launched last year urging Saudi women to defy a driving ban, began spreading the information on Twitter, after she was alerted by a couple.
The husband, who was travelling with his wife, received a text message from the immigration authorities informing him that his wife had left the international airport in Riyadh.
“The authorities are using technology to monitor women,” said columnist Badriya al-Bishr, who criticised the “state of slavery under which women are held” in the ultra-conservative kingdom.
Women are not allowed to leave the kingdom without permission from their male guardian, who must give his consent by signing what is known as the “yellow sheet” at the airport or border.
Another Tack: A-Dawla ma’ana When the blood-curdling battle cry exhorting the masses to slaughter the Jews, “Itbach al-Yahud,” was first shouted on April 4, 1920, by Arab marauders rampaging through the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City, it was accompanied by another mantra: “A-Dawla ma’ana” – the government is with us. That was the first brazen […]

Do Americans understand the Muslim view of war? Throughout the Muslim world, there were celebrations with people singing and dancing and giving each other sweets, celebrating Hamas’s victory over the Israelis. Hamas suffered serious […]
