Well meaning, but too naïve about the necessity of countering evil with power abroad and containing poverty with melioration at home. But—contrary to its critics—it is as far removed morally as imaginable from the Darjeeling brew that’s the great lethal toxin of our time. […] Blog Anti-Zionism
August 24, 2014 “Evil” ISIS vs. “Not So Evil” Hamas Between the end of World War II and the end of the Cold War, many American liberals somehow forgot the reality of radical evil.

August 21, 2014 UNHRC Betrays Humans Rights and Israel According to the Prophet, “Thus saith the Lord, ‘let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream’.” (Amos 5:24) The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is a gutter overflow with the purpose of smearing and delegitimizing Israel. 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
