http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/ “The bounds of reasonableness … rarely trouble the BDS movement, where actions range between the crass and the repugnant. When BDS supporters punish Israel by picketing Australian chocolate shops owned by a Jewish businessman, their absurdity invites us to laugh. Yet when they call for the severing of ties between Australian and Israeli academics […]

And some people are surprised that it is too complex to be implemented on schedule? Last Friday the Obama administration released final regulations for a […]
http://spectator.org/people/gerald-walpin/all.xml Reality, logic, and history need be applied to hysteria of some concerning NSA’s possession of all phone numbers called by phones of Americans and even, some say, the addresses from and to all emails. Consider the same law enforcement tactic used successfully to catch domestic criminals. Just recently, a dozen of similar-type robberies by […]
http://frontpagemag.com/2013/enza-ferreri/the-islamist-wind-in-britain/ Over the last weekend there have been two more street attacks on soldiers in Britain, one of which was fatal. On Saturday, the Yorkshire town of Barnsley in northern England honored soldiers with parades and celebrations for its Armed Forces Day. One of the soldiers, who had returned from the Falkland Islands just hours […]
http://frontpagemag.com/2013/ryan-mauro/time-to-label-nigerian-schoolchildren-slaughterers-terrorists/ The Clarion Project has started a petition to designate the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram as—well, a terrorist group. The Obama Administration’s desire to end the war on terror and not pick any new fights is overriding common-sense and moral clarity. The United Kingdom has just branded Boko Haram as a terrorist group, so […]
http://frontpagemag.com/2013/matthew-vadum/government-approved-race-riots/ The Obama administration deployed government-paid community organizers to Sanford, Florida after the shooting death of Trayvon Martin last year in order to foment racial tensions, newly released government documents show. The news came as the Obama administration publicly pretended to be concerned at the prospect of ugly race riots breaking out across America in […]
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-day-america-died It was a tragic coincidence that Monday, April 1, 2013 was both the last day of the Jewish celebration of Passover and the 34th anniversary of the 1979 referendum establishing the Islamic Republic of Iran, under the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Ironically as well, it was the day after Western Christendom’s Easter Sunday. At noon […]
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/muslim-chutzpah?f=puball Only the Hebrew word “chutzpah” appropriately describes it but a recent demand of the Vatican by Egypt’s senior Sunni cleric Grand Imam of al-Azhar Ahmed al-Tayeb screams for its use. To better understand why, a brief history of recent Muslim/Catholic relations is necessary. In 2006, ties between Muslims and Catholics were severed by the […]

Two recent answers to questions pertaining to the Middle East Peace Process by British government ministers reveal a stark bias in their approach to the conflict
It’s not like me to harp on and on about something like the Middle East Peace Process (ahem), but I thought in order to further illustrate the unacceptable bias that permeates from within the Foreign and Commowealth Office in Britain, and indeed from the mouths of ‘Conservative’ ministers, I would show you the responses to two parliamentary questions recently tabled in the House of Commons and House of Lords.
The first question, by Dr. Matthew Offord, reads:
“To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will make representations to the Palestinian Authority about reports that PA TV has broadcast a video calling on Palestinians to raise flags over all Israeli cities and villages.” (163423) (Question tabled on Wednesday, July 3 2013)
The answer from Alistair Burt, Minister for the Middle East, is riddled with excuses made for one side:
“Recent reports have concluded that both parties to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict need to do more to promote a positive portrayal of each other, reflecting the principles of co-existence, tolerance, justice and human dignity. The UK regularly condemns incitement and registers our concerns with both sides. The British Consul General in Jerusalem called on the Palestinian Authority to avoid incitement in a speech addressed to the then Prime Minister Hamdallah on 19 June.
