The Mullahs Can Survive Bombs — They Can’t Survive Memes

by

For years, Western commentators have wondered aloud why the vast resources of Israel’s public diplomacy efforts — Hasbara, as it’s often called — have so consistently fallen flat — earnest explainer videos; carefully captioned infographics; appeals to reason and international law. All are tragically ineffective when faced with an enemy that thrives not on truth, … Read more

We Should All Hope Israel Succeeds

by

The best evidence for this is the way so many of the people who scream about Israel’s “apartheid” and “genocide” do not much care about apartheid and genocide elsewhere. China has real apartheid because it practices Han supremacy. Ethnic minorities have fewer rights in China. They are second-class citizens, denied the right to internal migration, … Read more

Their attempt to reconcile the requirements of the private economy … Read more

Israel Stands for Something the West Can’t Stand: A Jewish Victory Over Evil

by

Over the years, I’ve shared a thought experiment with friends from the left and right: If you give a random member of Hamas or Hezbollah a button that can instantly kill every Jew in Israel, would they press it? No one has said no; almost everyone says yes. Even among the left, independent of any … Read more

The UNRWA (United Nations) meltdown

by

If anything illuminates the insanity and moral bankruptcy of our times, it’s the reaction to Israel’s decision to act against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

Top Offender Of Human Rights Becomes Chair Of UN Human Rights Forum

by

Out of all the UN members, for some insane reason, they chose Iran to chair the forum.

Hamas Confirms Iran Backed and Supported Surprise Attack on Israel

Let Them Eat Yellowcake

by

If Iran is going to help Russia destroy the world’s food supplies, then let Iran pay the price for it.
