In late December 2010, the Tunisia uprising was sparked by a tragic public suicide-burning of a twenty-something street vender in an act of civil disobedience. Instantaneously, media commentary like wildfire around the world labeled this event “Arab Spring,” branding it the beginning of a struggle for democracy in the region. Correspondents in the tumultuous Middle
Between 1993 and 2001, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) signed six agreements with Israel and conducted countless meetings and summits to bring about a lasting peace between them. Each Israeli concession was met with Palestinian non-compliance and escalating violence. Six times, Palestinians failed to honor their commitments and increased
Unlike Iraq or Afghanistan, a huge invasion is unnecessary to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities. President Barack Hussein Obama's dangerous complacency and compromise with Iran has afflicted U.S. foreign policy for too long, causing incalculable damage to Israel's security and American interests in the region. The truth speaks for itself: diplomacy does not work
Summary by Tundra Tabloid Yesterday, Israeli anti-Semitism expert Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld gave a lecture at the Vidal Sassoon Center of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, titled “Anti-Semitic and Anti-Israel Hate Mongering: Norway as an Example.” Dr. Gerstenfeld asked what Norway’s wartime Prime Minister Vidkun Quisling and other Nazis would like about Norway today.

College campuses throughout the United States are bastions of racism and anti-Semitism, and for many years that fact has largely been ignored by the mainstream media. In the ‘80’s anti-Semitism was largely dominated by the likes of African-American anti-Semites like Louis Farrakhan and Leonard Jeffries. Today it’s a different bird, but whether it is
Brussels as the headquarters of the European Union is the nominal "capital of Europe." One would expect the city to be the center of enlightenment -- the exemplification of political and social tolerance and freedom of speech, assembly, and religion, not to mention an advocate of human rights. Disappointingly, recent events have shown that
Just before his visit to Israel, apparently the Obama administration has leaked that Obama is coming here not for a photo opportunity, but to seriously move the defunct peace talks forward.

“Arafat is a man who never comes to a bridge which he can’t double cross” was a favorite late King Hussein’s expression. Israel and the US were beguiled by Arafat into Israel signing the Oslo agreement with his September 1993 letter to PM Rabin and the Wye River Agreement with his Jan. 1998 letter to
Uranium enrichment: Reaching the 20% U235 is the uphill-tough-sledding part. To then go from 20% U235 to 90% U235 is really the downhill-easy-run part. And Israel is a one bomb country. This essay will attempt 1) to explain what Bibi’s Iranian “Red-Line” actually means, 2) to show why Bibi's Iranian Red-Line is
The self-inflicted wounds of an Islamic state begin with words that impound the soul. Issue upon issue upon issue thickens the air and lays heavy on the human spirit suffocating potential.
