Sunday briefs

Gee, whatever could the motive be? Three people were murdered in the Brussels Jewish Museum yesterday, at least two of whom were Jewish–and Israeli. They haven’t caught the scumbag. They have pictures. He came, armed, to the museum. And yet, … Continue reading

The PC(USA) anti-Israel hit piece

PC(USA) has long been anti-Israel, but their new study guide–created by the vehemently anti-Israel and anti-Semitic Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center–is nothing but a hit piece against Israel and Zionism. And oh yeah, they’re as bad as Nazis. Lazar Berman … Continue reading
