(Children’s toys and personal items lie on the bloodstained floor of a child’s bedroom, following a deadly infiltration by Hamas gunmen, in Kibbutz Beeri in southern Israel, October 17) The role of the Gaza War which began with the Hamas massacres of October 7, 2023, plays an important role in our current political climate. The […]
A guest post by Juliet Moses: I recently heard Max Harris, the Labour Party candidate for Tamaki, speak at an event. He introduced himself as having a “strong moral compass”. That’s a bit odd, I thought, and more than a bit self-righteous. Sometimes you hear someone describing someone else that way, but not self-identifying as such.…
LBC reports: An investigation has revealed that a man known only as ‘Mr X’ worked as a personal bodyguard for Ismail Haniyeh, who was Hamas’ leader in Gaza between 2007 and 2017. He then successfully applied for asylum and eventually indefinite leave to remain in the UK, and was able to plot an antisemitic attack…
Some say that the Nobel Peace Prize lost credibility when it was won by Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho in 1973, given neither men were great at anything beyond blood thirsty realpolitik. Anjeze Bojaxhui (known as Mother Teresa of Calcutta) in 1979 was another one, given the succour she gave to the likes of…
If you’ve kept track of NYT Mayor Zohran Mamdani since he was elected less than a year ago, it’s not hard to conclude that, though he pretends to dislike bigotry, his statements and actions add up to a man who is not fond of Jews, and who wants Israel gone and replaced by a Palestinian…
Well, the only thing that consoles me about this year’s grotesque award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay is that the same Prize was awarded to Henry Kissinger and Yasser Arafat. But in some ways this Prize is even worse, for Pillay got it for ““for her efforts to promote peace and international…
UPDATE: In what can only be a gesture of anti-Israel defiance, Mamdani ate dinner on October 7 at an ideologically-themed Palestinian restaurant (h/t Wayne): New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani dined at a Palestinian restaurant chain blasted for being “openly genocidal” against Jews on the third anniversary of the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel.…
The title of Peter Bergen’s latest book ALL THE PRESIDENT’S WARS: TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF THE WAR ON TERROR is a misnomer. The War on Terror did not begin on 9/11 as attacks against American interests took place long before planes flew into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The bombing of the Marine barracks […]
I have to set this out at the start of this post. None of this has been investigated by me, it has all been done by other journalists. However all of this has been verified by me. All the relevant links are included in the post. It is also noteworthy to mention that I don’t […]
I just read this transcript of the call from Todd Beamer on United Airlines Flight 93, and it made me cry. I recall reading it back in 2001, but not since. 9/11 changed the entire world, but it also was about huge personal tragedies for families and friends, and feats of heroism. I also was…
Before I get into the story of Mohamed Atta, there is something I need to get off my chest. It appears that in the last few years, there has been a gradual downgrading of acts of terrorism. Terrorists are no longer called terrorists but militants. There are two definitions of a militant:1, Engaged in warfare […]
This week Israeli security forces announced the capture of Mu’in al Arabid, reported to be a senior Hamas internal security and intelligence chief, identified… The post Yolande Knell and a Hamas Security Chief Prove the BBC Needs a New Rule appeared first on CAMERA UK.
I wrote about this issue before, and I still can’t find a construal of “anti-Zionism” that is not equivalent to “antisemitism”? I ask because people who throw the term anti-Zionist around, like Zohran Mamdani, adamantly deny that they mean “antisemitism.” So that makes it okay for them to tar people as “Zionists” and deny that…
Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
In Hume’s spirit, I will attempt to serve as an ambassador from my world of economics, and help in “finding topics of conversation fit for the entertainment of rational creatures.”
