“Resistance” is the slogan used by Syria, Hamas, and Hizballah especially but also is used by Iran’s regime, other Lebanese supporters of the Iran-Syria bloc, and assorted radicals throughout the region. While the word has echoes for any Western… Continue reading
Anti-Semitism, that is, anti-Jewishness and anti-Judaism, is intensifying throughout the Muslim World. The significance of this virulent anti-Jewishness and anti-Judaism coming from the Muslim World is in that this type of anti-Semitism goes beyond the hatred it espouses. Anti-Jewishness and anti-Judaism constitute a major political instrument… Continue reading
The twinning of the LSE and Queen Mary College with the Islamic University in Gaza marks another achievement for the militant anti-Israeli campaign being waged on British campuses, which is characterized by demonstrations, protest activities, anti-Israeli propaganda and incitement… Continue reading

Ex-President Jimmy Carter has recently asked Jews for forgiveness. Carter claims that the fact that his grandson is now running for office in their home state of Georgia has nothing to do with his apology. He states that Jews only make up 2% of the county where his grandson lives – about the same percent that Jews make up in the nation at large – and so uses this as further evidence of the integrity of his intentions… Continue reading
CAMERA has sent a letter to Jimmy Carter after the former president, addressing the Jewish community in an open letter, offered an apology for anything he may have done to stigmatize Israel… Continue reading

A cold war is “the key to understanding the Middle East in the 21st century.” So argue Yigal Carmon and three of his colleagues at the Middle East Media and Research Institute (MEMRI) in a recent study, “An Escalating Regional Cold War.” They have identified a major confrontation that the media has somehow missed… Continue reading
A Hamas “ministry of justice” committee called Al-Tawthiq (Documentation) claims to be behind the arrest warrant issued in Britain for former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.

This week, Thomas Friedman, wrote an article about the virtual warfare (using internet) that’s going on in recruiting new jihadists for the Global Jihad. He calls on the Arabs and Muslims around the world to speak out against the radical Jihadists and the terroristic organizations and if necessary to start a civil war against them… Continue reading
We will never give up on a Palestine from the river to the sea… It is not enough for Hamas to liberate Gaza… Hamas strives to liberate all of Palestine… Hamas looks toward the whole of Palestine, the liberation of the strip is just a step to liberating all of Palestine… Ahmadinejad said Iran doesn’t recognize Israel’s right to exist… Continue reading
It’s remarkable how easy it is for Middle Eastern dictatorships to fool the West. Iran has been stringing along Europe and the United States for seven years on the pretense that it is ready to make a deal on its nuclear weapons’ drive. The Palestinians persuade the West that they really do want to make peace but just need a better offer. And so on… Continue reading
The Palestinian Authority has been negotiating an understanding with the Obama administration regarding a Palestinian threat to unilaterally ask the United Nations to recognize a Palestinian state outside of negotiations with Israel… Continue reading

Wereldwijd valt er nogal wat aan te merken op de islam. Met de koran devoot op de achtergrond wordt er op grote schaal geterroriseerd, onderdrukt, uitgebuit en gemoord, maar hier te lande ijveren moslims zich in liefdesepistels schrijven en bloemschikken om de enige echte islamcriticus onder te bedelven… Continue reading
The past few weeks we hear many reports about the possible release of Gilad Shalit as part of a prisoners swap of Israel with the Hamas. Maybe up to hundreds of Palestinian terrorists, with blood on their hands in killing innocent citizins of Israel… Continue reading
If a Martian were suddenly to land on earth and start listening to and reading the mainstream media, he would form the impression that the entire Middle East conflict were due to Israel building some settlements in land that much of the world thinks should become a Palestinian state… Continue reading
To borrow a computer term, if Ayatollah Khomeini, Osama bin Laden, and Nidal Hasan represent Islamism 1.0, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (the prime minister of Turkey), Tariq Ramadan (a Swiss intellectual), andKeith Ellison (a U.S. congressman) represent Islamism 2.0. The former kill more people but the latter pose a greater threat to Western civilization… Continue reading
Israel’s operation into the Gaza Strip last January and the embargo on aid has had an effect. Hamas is now announcing that it will stop attacks on Israel. This, in effect, ends Hamas’s renewal of the fighting a year ago. Here’s the problem: Is Hamas just stopping long enough to get the aid money… Continue reading
Khaled Mashaal makes it clear that Hamas is determined to continue the path of “resistance” (i.e., terrorism) and that “other statements are political maneuvers.” He reveals that Hamas uses most of its financial resources in the Gaza Strip for military purposes rather than rebuilding… Continue reading

This past week, despite the events on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, there was a decrease in the amount of rocket and mortar shell fire. One mortar shell hit was identified in an open field near the southern Israeli city of Sderot (October 7, 2009). There were no casualties and no damage was done. Elements within the Army of the Nation (a network affiliated with the global jihad) claimed responsibility for the attack, calling it retaliation for the events at Al-Aqsa mosque… Continue reading
Op dinsdag 15 september heeft de VN een rapport gepubliceerd rondom de gebeurtenissen tijdens de Gaza oorlog eind 2008 en begin 2009.
In het rapport wordt Israel beschuldigt van oorlogsmisdaden. Aangezien dit een ernstige beschuldiging is, is het belangrijk om de achtergronden van dit VN onderzoek onder de loep te nemen… Continue reading
