For a cogent analysis of the agony without ecstacy of Obama’s Mideast policy, See Walter Russell Mead at http://www.the-american-interest.com/blog/2014/08/16/the-agony-of-obamas-middle-east-policy/

Carline Glick, deputy managing editor of the “Jerusalem Post,” masterfully analyzes the rising tide of global anti-Semitism, but then concludes: “Israel’s problem today is not the anti-Semitism of Western societies. It is the hostility of the Obama administration. . . . whereas David Cameron felt compelled by domestic political realities to turn on Israel, Obama […]

We now learn that ISIS has a human face, beyond the heads its cuts off and gives to seven year-olds to display in its Syrian-Iraqi Caliphate. There are Facebook postings, presumably by jihadi expats from the U.S. and Europe who either didn’t know about or don’t care about Robin Williams’ support for Israel. Instead, they […]

Reports are that President Obama is about to declare victory on or over Iraq’s Mount Sinjar where tens of thousands of Yazidis and other minorities have been stranded in peril of starvation or slaughter.

The Iranian people, if given the […]

The “special relationship” has been restored. Not between Israel and the U.S. but between the U.S. and the UK. Obama had strained it by, among other things, dumping a White House bust of Winston Churchill. But now, there is unity of purpose around—you guessed it—a betray Israel agenda. Following the action by the Cameron government […]

Israel made great efforts to cultivate newly independent Africa starting with Ghana in 1957. But after most African countries succumbed to the 1973-1974 Arab oil embargo, and broke diplomatic relations with Israel, the Jewish state upgraded relations with the Pretoria regime without endorsing Apartheid which it continued to denounce. Progressive Jews like Helen Suzman and […]

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khameini called nuclear talks with the U.S. “useless.” His minion, President Rouhani, has a different view. Perhaps they are playing “bad cop”/”good cop.” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s attempt to broker a truce between Aghan presidential aspirants also appears to be falling part. On Iran, see “Los Angeles Times” at […]
