Anti-Semitism is Alive and Well, and Living Everywhere…Part I

Until recently, I might have considered the possibility that I was being paranoid when thinking that anti-Semitism of an almost medieval intensity has raised its ugly head again all over the world. There have been many incidents, but they might be of the kind that would still allow people to dismiss... Sign in to see full entry.

And Yet More on the Flotilla Incident…

I was actually going to write about something else today, specifically about my doggie, always a pleasant subject, and I may still do that. But in reading the Jerusalem Post this morning, I came across more evidence that the ‘Flotilla Incident’ was a carefully orchestrated political event, designed... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F: Women in Islam…Part VI (Wafa Sultan - A God Who Hates, ct’d.)

In my previous post I mentioned that, apparently, Obama’s Muslim name has some significance, but not the way in which it is often understood. I am well aware that some people think Obama is a closet Muslim. As far as I know, there’s not a shred of evidence for that, and if people think there is, let... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F: Women in Islam…Part V (Wafa Sultan - A God Who Hates)

A few weeks ago I posted and interview with Wafa Sultan, found here, http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos/2010-05-03, which you should look at if you haven’t already. In the meantime, I’ve read her book A God Who Hates. It’s a very interesting and very ‘personal’ account, and I recommend... Sign in to see full entry.

A Few More Observations on the Flotilla Event…

Some days ago I posted a piece by Charles Krauthammer, The Fruits of Weakness, who spoke of recent developments in the Middle East and other parts of the world as ‘ a crushing verdict on President Barack Obama’s foreign policy’, and of the disastrous consequences of what he calls ‘an America in...

More on the ‘Flotilla Affair’…

I haven’t had much time to write, but I have been following the developments in what was, as is becoming clearer by the day, a well-orchestrated attack on Israel rather than a ‘humanitarian’ effort. In my previous post on this subject, I had suggested that some of those who died in the confrontation... Sign in to see full entry.

An ‘Israeli massacre’? Let’s look at the facts!

The crescendo of outrage and condemnation levelled at Israel over the death of some ‘peace activists’ who were attempting to run the blockade of Gaza prompts me to offer some comments. Since January 26, 2006, when Hamas won the election, Gaza has been at war with Israel. Some might argue that it’s a... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F: Women in Islam…Part IV (Ayaan Hirsi Ali, ctd.)

This is the second part of Ayyan’s interview. In the next installment, I shall provide a commentary. Q: Are Muslims in North America better assimilated than in Europe? A: Yes and no. Economically and in terms of education, yes. But I haven’t seen any hard data to prove that Canadian and American... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F, Women in Islam…Part III (Ayaan Hirsi Ali)

This is definitely a series interrupta, LOL, partly because of time constraints, partly because there are other, if related, issues clamoring for my attention, particularly Obama’s deplorable foreign policy with respect to Israel. But I consider these issues of Women in Islam of great importance,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Fruits of Weakness…

I apologize for giving you so much of other people’s words, but I haven’t had much time, and in the end it’s the words that count, regardless of who wrote them. The other day I gave you Sarah Honig’s view of American policy as seen from an Israeli’s perspective. Today, I am giving you that of... Sign in to see full entry.
