It’s the Islamism, stupid: But I thought they’re terrorists because they’re poor, unemployed, and oppressed! The head of France’s counterespionage agency said that France foiled a terror attack aimed at an IDF fundraiser (uh… the IDF has fundraisers?) in Paris.

He indicated that France’s history as a colonial master in North Africa, its military presence in Afghanistan and a proposal that would ban full-covering face veils in public make the country a prime target for certain radical Islamist groups.
What? They’re not just “youths”? Go figure.
Oh, look: More Rosh Hashanah kassams: The Palestinians have been firing rockets at schools again since before the holiday, and of course, the news media are ignoring it. They only mention it when Israel strikes the terrorists. Because that’s the narrative: Israel has the nerve to defend itself.
The precondition becomes a condition: The Palestinians got their way. There is a settlement freeze. Next excuse for Abbas—predictions, anyone? Now, does the AP hone in on this enormous concession from Netanyahu? Nope. They’re too busy hammering Bibi for daring to suggest that Israel be recognized as the nation-state of the Jewish people, a step that would force the Arab world to acknowledge the right of Jews to live in their midst.

Days ahead of a crucial peacemaking session, Israel’s prime minister touched a raw nerve with the Palestinians on Sunday by demanding they recognize Israel as a Jewish state — something they have long rejected.
What time is it? That’s right, it’s Israeli Double Standard Time. But not to worry—it only occurs on days that end in a “y”!
