Wednesday, briefly
If only they’d all fight each other like this: Iraqi jihadis are now heading to Syria to fight the Assad dictatorship. Of course, the enemy of my enemy is not my friend. These are Iraqi Sunnis, the legacy of Saddam … Continue reading

Washington’s Birthday briefs
No, not his actual briefs, because they didn’t wear briefs in those days. And, ew. Yep, Islamists are still trying to murder Israelis: Suuuure, they’re moderating. That’s why the IDF foiled another terror plot on the Egyptian border. And by … Continue reading

Sunday snowy briefs
Really? The Brits were buying oil from Iran even though they know that Iran is working toward a nuclear bomb? Really? So Iran cutting off exports to the U.K. and France is, what–a waste of time for all involved? Because … Continue reading

The AP: Ignore what we said yesterday, it was too pro-Israel
Yesterday, the AP reported that Iran was behind the attempted terrorist attacks on Israelis in Thailand. They even headlined the article that way. Thailand: Iranians’ Targets Were Israeli Diplomats The lead tries to fudge just a little bit by using … Continue reading

Our friends the Pakistanis: Get a load of this news item. Pakistan on Thursday stressed the need for multi-faceted cooperation between Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran on the basis of their being close neighbours, to address the numerous challenges and exploit … Continue reading

Thursday briefs
The Revenge of Hezbollah: So far, it’s a fail, thanks to the tireless work of the Mossad. They foiled an attempt to assassinate Ehud Barak in Singapore. Here’s what really bothers me: How did they get a detailed itinerary of … Continue reading

Wednesday news roundup
The roots of anti-Semitism: Deeper than you think. A new book (which I think I should buy) traces the roots of anti-Semitism and discovers that the Greeks and Romans hated us millennia ago just as much as–well, gee. As much … Continue reading

Thai officials: Attacks in Thailand aimed at Israelis
This story, whether it is precise in its details or not, reads like a parody of a thriller Laurel and Hardy slapstick: Two suspects have been arrested, and police were in pursuit of three additional suspects. The first arrest is … Continue reading

There is no moderation of the Hamas mission
It really doesn’t matter how many news services, pundits, and analysts insist that by joining with the PA, Hamas is going to moderate. They’re not. Just listen to the words of their leader during his recent trip to Iran: Hamas … Continue reading

Friday news roundup
They’re not even trying to hide it anymore: First Iran’s Supreme Leader admits publicly that Iran has been funding Hezbollah and Hamas for years. Now Chipmunk Cheeks himself is bragging that he’s in the Iranians’ pocket, and has been there … Continue reading

You lost me at “wants to be remembered”
This is what is wrong with journalists today. In one of NPR’s top five articles on their website, they discuss whether or not Israel will attack Iran. The number one reason why Israel may bomb Iran is as follows: 1. … Continue reading

If you’ve lost Joe Klein, you’ve lost Middle Europe: When even Time magazine correspondents are commenting on how crappy the deal between Fatah and Hamas is, you know that it stinks really, really, really badly. Check the skies for flying … Continue reading

Burying the lede, AP style
Well, that’s that for the AP. The fact that Iran’s Supreme Leader called Israel “a cancerous tumor” that “needs to be removed” is now buried on the second page of the story that warns the rest of the world that … Continue reading

The war of the words
Israel’s annual Herzliya conference, which draws leaders from around the world to discuss the region’s security issues, is always a cause for the news media to get a case of the vapors. Its major topic this year, of course, is … Continue reading

If it’s Wednesay, this must be Media Bias Against Israel Day
I have two words for this story: Bull and shit. Marwan Barghouti says the conflict with the Palestinians will end if Israel withdraws to the 1949 Armistice lines, a.k.a. the 1967 “borders”. Oh, really? Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Zahar said … Continue reading

Thursday news briefs
Because name-calling is such a great way to make your point: This column in Ha’aretz is titled “Every Jewish mother’s nightmare.” What, that their son/daughter intermarry and don’t raise the children in the faith? That they should, God forbid, die … Continue reading
