Fresno Zionism

As Israel comes closer to a confrontation with Iran, we should note that Iran’s primary strategy is unlikely to be direct conflict with Israel. Iran’s air and missile forces, despite their bragging, are not sufficiently well-developed to support such a conflict. Instead, I expect that they will depend on their main proxy, Hizballah.

When can we finally put the idea of the “two-state solution” out of its misery?

Why the two-state solution is no solution at all.

Morsi, who all but expressly said Jews control the Western media, would find a comforting embrace in the anti-Semitism of some Westerners.

President Obama feels boxed in by his ‘red line’ promise.

Honor is a concept that is paramount in non-Western cultures, but sometimes it seems that the West has no clue about.

A policy of appeasing the US and EU can only aid the Arabs in their project to weaken Israel and slice away at it, bit by bit.

The real villain is the Iranian regime, which has colonized Syria and is colonizing Lebanon in its attempt to squeeze out U.S. influence in the Middle East.

It's not surprising that, especially in Egypt, the State Department had a hard time finding someone who did not share the common prejudices against Jews.

In Birkenhead, near Liverpool, slaughterhouse workers had refused to process any more meat for Jewish consumption until the attacks on British soldiers in Palestine stopped.

Somewhere between 68 and 70% of American Jewish voters went for Obama, depending on whose exit poll you believe. Israelis that I talk to are mystified. “Are they crazy? What were they thinking?” they ask. It’s not really mystifying. Here are some general facts about non-Orthodox and secular (the large majority) American Jews.

The only thing that can prevent Israel from winning this mini-war and neutering Hamas is outside intervention.

It has always fascinated me that those calling for a “two-state solution” seem to believe that once an agreement is signed and the IDF leaves the territories, then there will be peace.

Israel should use its new gas resources to further its political interests, just as the Arabs have done with their energy resources.

The series is explicitly intended to demonize the Jews as an alien race hostile to Muslims and the welfare of the world.

There is as little chance of the conditions described in the poll being fulfilled as there being a porcine airlift.

My pro-Obama friends tell me that nothing’s changed, that this administration is as pro-Israel as any previous one, Democratic or Republican, and I needn’t fear that a reelected President Obama will punish Israel. With all due respect, they are full of it.

Europe has taken the path of multiculturalism and we can see the results.

The U.S. government is tacitly agreeing that the historical truth about the Jews and Israel is inimical to “peace.”

It looks from here like a really bad weekend in Israel. Some 40-odd rockets were fired from Gaza at southern Israel within 48 hours,...

Israel, of all nations, can’t let the Arab street set policy for it.

My alarm bells went off when the President chose Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense.

A tangled web of non-profit political organizations reveals that George Soros is behind yet another Jewish anti-Zionist front.

The idea persists, despite the fact that — by any objective standard — the behavior of Israel is anything but expansionist and invasive.

There was little discussion during the campaign of 'the peace process, because everybody in Israel, with the exception of the European- and NIF-funded Left, knows that the “peace process” is dead.

This is not a post that I wanted to write, though I knew it was coming.

In 100 years, there will be 116 million Palestinian refugees!

It seems Russia has decided that the "strong horse" in the Middle East is Iran and the Shiites.

What is the Obama Administration doing in the face of the imminent collapse of the largest and historically most important and powerful state in the Arab world, now ruled by an anti-Western and anti-Semitic radical Islamic regime?

If we compare Western and Islamic cultures, we find that universalist attitudes are common in the former and rare in the latter.
