Tony’s tolerance of terror has limits

Gaza more dangerous than Iraq to Tony Blair
Tony Blair called off his trip to Gaza, citing specific security threats. Of course Hamas denies they were threatening Tony Blair, but it’s significant to note that he was visiting Gaza, but refusing to meet with Hamas officials. Hm. Wonder … Continue reading
Still unanswered
Newsbusters takes the NYT to task for ignoring the result of the Enderlein-Karsenty case. (Newsbusters acknowledged that the result was covered half-heartedly in the NYT’s blog.) Newsbuster’s author Warner Todd Huston asks: So what gives, New York Times? Why the … Continue reading

Ask Mark Regev
Got a question for Israel’s foreign media adviser? Go here and ask it. Mine’s already been asked. I would word it a bit differently: Why the hell can’t Israel manage her own PR better? The Arabs have been winning the … Continue reading
Daily truce violations; daily inaction from Israel
Kassams continue to rain down on Israel daily. Closing the crossings just isn’t enough. What is Barak waiting for? Two Qassam rockets were fired from northern Gaza towards Israel on Thursday afternoon, one of them landed near a kibbutz in … Continue reading
AP bias: What’s in a word?
You know, I’m starting to see a pattern here. In this unbylined article about the Palestinian Prime Minister’s reaction to Israel’s raid on Hamas in the West Bank, you get this headline: Palestinian premier criticizes Israeli raids It’s not a … Continue reading
The AP’s moral equivalency problem
See if you can figure out what AP’s moral equivalency problem is. An Israel-Hamas truce has boiled down to a simple tradeoff: For a day of calm, Israel adds five truckloads of cows and 200 tons of cement to its … Continue reading
Still the Samir?
Given the sympathy that the Washington Post once showed for Samir Kuntar in a news story, the editorial An Unwelcome Hero was welcome, if flawed. If anyone ever deserved the title “baby-killer,” it is Samir Kuntar. Yet his freedom has … Continue reading

The AP: Hamas rockets are Israel’s fault
Our old buddy Ali Daragmeh, one of those unbiased AP reporters, had this to say about the reason for the violations of the truce by terrorists from Gaza: Three weeks ago, Israel and Palestinian militants in Hamas-ruled Gaza agreed to … Continue reading
Both sides of the story do not equal truth
One of the things that is extremely puzzling about any AP report on Samir Kuntar is why the AP insists on presenting Kuntar’s side of the story as if the facts were disputed. In every story about the Lebanese prisoner … Continue reading
Booting Hersh
Last week, Cheat Seeking Missiles went after Seymour Hersh for an recently written “expose” in the New Yorker. What troubled me is that CSM took everything Hersh wrote at face value. Hersh cherry picks some stuff, confuses some stuff, makes … Continue reading
Fine Arabian chargers
Horse racing appears to be really popular among the Palestinians. Unfortunately there was an accident at the races today near Nablus. A Palestinian man , left and a horse rider, lay on the ground after they collided during a horse … Continue reading
Interesting euphemisms
Honor Guard An honor guard stand to attention … These are members of Hamas brandishing (I think) AK-47’s. Wouldn’t the more appropriate term be “armed terrorists?” Iranian diplomats picture depicting the four Iranian diplomats who were kidnapped in Lebanon in … Continue reading
Never the twain shall meet
Griff Witte’s report, Motives in Earthmover Rampage Debated in Jerusalem is striking for two things one that it says and one that it omits. Israeli officials and media described Edwyat as a terrorist who had targeted Jews. But friends and … Continue reading
