http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Op-EdContributors/Article.aspx?id=293540 If Israel is seriously committed to its own long-term survival as a sovereign nation in this part of the world, it must try a different approach. With the decision makers in Jerusalem agreeing to a cease-fire just one week after finally giving the green light for a military response to the unbearable daily rocket […]
http://frontpagemag.com/2012/davidhornik/egypt-erupts-as-morsi-seizes-powers/ Egypt’s President Mohamed Morsi can at least get a prize for brazenness. Just last Wednesday he was being praised by the Obama administration for his “practical” role in working out a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. “This was somebody focused on solving problems,” a “senior administration official” admiringly told the New York Times. The […]
http://frontpagemag.com/2012/dgreenfield/how-the-world-saved-hamas-20-years-ago/print/ The conclusion of Israel’s campaign against Hamas, complete with an enforced ceasefire and a victory for the Islamic terrorist group, should come as no surprise at all. Long before the blockade of Gaza, the terrorist group’s greatest weapon was the sympathy of the world. Twenty years ago, on December 1992, Israeli forces responded to […]

NORQUIST IS A CREEP WITH A DOCUMENTED PRO-ISLAMIST AGENDA AND REPUBLICANS SHOULD FINALLY DENOUNCE HIM….RSK
Anti-tax promoter Grover Norquist is losing his vice-like grip on the Republican party. The head of Americans for Tax Reform, who as recently as last year counted 238 members of the House and 41 members of the Senate among those who had signed his anti-tax pledge, has seen those numbers decline to 217 in the House, one shy of the 218 needed for a majority, and 39 in the Senate. Both totals represent an all-time low. Last Wednesday, Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) disavowed his pledge not to raise taxes, even as he acknowledged doing so could hurt his reelection chances in 2014. ”I don’t worry about that because I care too much about my country,” he said. “I care a lot more about it than I do Grover Norquist.” Americans might not like seeing their taxes go up, but Grover Norquist’s fall from grace has its benefits: as he goes down, so goes his pro-Islamist agenda.
http://frontpagemag.com/2012/bruce-thornton/the-ghosts-of-1938-still-haunt-our-foreign-policy/ In a story describing President Obama’s six conversations with Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi that led to the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, the New York Times summarized Obama’s estimation of Morsi. Obama told his aids “he was impressed with the Egyptian leader’s pragmatic confidence. He sensed an engineer’s precision with surprisingly little ideology.” Obama […]
http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/333990 Conservatives are worried that the negotiations that will begin this week to avoid the “fiscal cliff” will end in disaster. Tax increases that will weaken the economy could be combined with spending cuts that never materialize in an agreement that will leave many Republicans — especially those who have signed the “no net new […]
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/333967/star-wars-over-gaza-henry-f-cooper Israel’s Iron Dome shows the value of high-tech missile defense. According to the Times of Israel, Israel’s Iron Dome missile-defense system shot down 84 percent of several hundred Iranian-supplied short-range ballistic missiles that Hamas launched from Gaza toward Israeli cities. This system, built in record time with U.S. help, demonstrated once again the importance […]
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-russians-are-looking-like-their-old-selves-again?f=puball Russia before the Communist Revolution in 1917 had conflicting cultural characteristics: a relatively small educated class and aristocracy undergoing a European-style renaissance; and the vast peasant and village population, dirt-poor, superstitious, and ignorant. Geography plays a role in shaping a culture. Russia’s vast size and wide-open plains left it vulnerable to invasions by such […]
