It’s unbelievable that the bulk of American progressive liberals and academics seems to sympathize with a group of terrorist thugs who not only invaded Israel and killed 1,139 people, many in gruesome ways, including killing women after raping them, but also took 250 hostages of various nationalities, including children, into Gaza to use as bargaining […]

Last year, when I visited Dachau, we had an Irish guide. He was knowledgeable about Dachau, but I disagreed with him on one thing he said. To my own surprise, I didn’t give him a history lesson and decided to let it go because my main purpose there was to gain some understanding of Dachau. […]

After 79 years there is very little new to be uncovered about the atom bombing of the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, by the USA on August 6 and August 9, 1945 respectively, to end World War II. And yet, somehow, there always is. This 52m video focuses on Hiroshima and the photos that were […]

On August 6, 1945, the world witnessed the devastating power of nuclear warfare for the first time when the United States dropped an atomic bomb, code-named “Little Boy,” on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. This event marked a significant turning point in World War II and had profound implications for international relations, warfare, and ethics. […]

After all, the Yanks were offering one, $5 million, for the Hizballah opertive Fuad Shukr (also known as Hajj Mohsin) because he was connected to the 1983 Beirut bombing that killed 241 people, mainly US Marines as it targeted their barracks. And now the Israelis have taken him out because he’d ordered a drone attack […]

A while back I was a big fan of Doctors without Borders (or “MSF”, for “Médecins Sans Frontières”). It was put in my will to get a big bequest, and when I auctioned of a copy of Why Evolution is True, autographed by many famous scientists and nonbelievers, and illustrated and illuminated by Kelly Houle, […]
