In pursuing this agenda, UNHRC has hit upon a strategy of using Jews, like […] Blog
August 21, 2014 Presumption of Innocence DOA in Some Circles Opinions differ, and will continue to differ, about what happened, and is happening, in Ferguson, Missouri. However, for an example for how respect for the presumption on innocence, at least in racially-charged cases, has eroded in liberal circles, see Yishai Schwartz, “Convicting Darren Wilson Will Be Basically Impossible,” in the “New Republic” at http://www.newrepublic.com/article/119157/darren-wilsons-conviction-will-be-basically-impossible Blog

August 15, 2014 ISIS Really Loves Uncle Sam as Well as Robin Williams 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 […] Blog

August 14, 2014 From the Depths Paris’ sewers are no longer subterranean. They now surge through the streets befouling with a grotesque parody of multiculturalism a city whose architecture is still First World but, in terms of human capital or the lack thereof, is now irreversibly becoming part of the worst of the Third World. The Iranian people, if given the […] Blog
August 14, 2014 Restoring the Other “Special Relationship” at Israel’s Expense 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.
