The military of Egypt is respecting the universal rights of all Egyptians by rooting out Muslim Brotherhood terrorism, the backers of Morsi’s regime – finding smuggled weapon stashes and arresting Morsi’s guest militias (Hamas and Al Qaida terrorists). After more than two years of protests to brin3dg about the removal of two dictatorships, the latter

My Grandmother has a failsafe method for determining a man’s Jewishness. She stares at him. She claims every Jewish man is adorned with an invisible yarmulke on his head and an equally invisible Tallit hanging from his shoulders. She claims these adornments are clearly visible; one only has to look carefully.   With one long

Obama is a Prisoner of his own Agenda

How does Obama react to the Muslim Brotherhood's excesses? With open arms.   If the American President was not a prisoner to his own pro-Muslim Brotherhood agenda, the U.S. Administration would now be applauding the Egyptian military’s crackdown on the anti-Western, anti-Semitic and anti-Israel Muslim Brotherhood thugs who have instigated horrific violence in Cairo and

Words vs. Bullets: How Obama Fights Terrorism

By | 2013-08-16T23:59:13-04:00 August 16th, 2013|Op-Eds|

  One of the biggest questions about fighting terrorism is whether the US intends to fight it on the military level or on the ideological level. And what does the ideological level mean.   Wars have ideological components. Propaganda likely predated the written word. Undermining an enemy's morale can be a very effective means of

Israeli Democracy

It is no wonder that so many citizens feel powerless to affect government actions, such as preventing the freeing terrorists or capitulation to Obama-Abbas.     New immigrants and visitors to Israel, especially from Anglo-American countries, are mystified, if not appalled, by Israel’s political system, especially by its astonishing multiplicity of parties: 33 in its

Obama Double-Cross Sent Saudi Arabia to Putin
