Deborah Danino / “I cannot stand him anymore,” said S. “He is a liar.” / “You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!” added O. / / At first, this seems like an innocuous and banal exchange – albeit petty – between colleagues indulging in gossip for lack of better things to discuss. The problem here is that the characters of this scene are not your average men on the street, they are the heads of state of two of the world’s most powerful countries: US President Barack Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy. / / This sequence..

Ariel Harkham June 18, 2010 / / / With Turkey turning toward the East and its relationship with Israel left in tatters, the question stands where does Israel turn? Morocco represents the greatest potential for political alliance for an Israel searching for a state to serve as a bridge to the Muslim world. The strategic importance of Israel having an asset such was Turkey cannot be ignored, and yet Israel’s government is today lacking an alternative policy to stave off the damage done to Israel’s geo-political position by an Islamist Turkey. Such an alternative, I believe, does exist in Morocco, where Israel.. Location: Featured Articles > Archive |
Eden Palanuk The New York Times Excuse / April 20, 2010 / / Even in the absence of a day with headlines on incursions into Gaza, missile deliveries to Hizballah, political scandal, or espionage, the New York Times never misses an opportunity to write plaintive articles about Israel. That Ethan Bronner’s article appeared on Israel’s independence day makes it all the more obvious that any cause for celebration in Israel can be turned into one of desperation by the lords of media. / / Bronner’s article (“Mood Is Dark as Israel Marks 62nd Year as a Nation”) takes Israel’s..

My father was then an American diplomat stationed in East Jerusalem. But when Israel, Britain, and France launched a surprise invasion of Egypt on October 29, 1956, my mother, sister, and I were evacuated to Beirut, leaving father behind to tend to the business of the..

JNI - March 24, 2010 A number of observers have pointed out that the recent so-called “crisis” between Israel and the US over Jerusalem has been artificially flavored by the Obama administration's issuing of unreasonable and, even, unhelpful demands. / / And despite the fact that the issue is relatively obscure – not touching on holy sites or on questions of future borders (as Ramat Shlomo, the neighborhood concerned in the original flap, consists of 20,000 Jews and has never been considered up-for-grabs in any final status negotiation) – and has produced no real violence, the issue is..

Ariel Harkham *This article appeared in American Thinker 14/02/10 >>> click here / / A short fifteen-minute drive outside Kerbala, Iraq, one can witness the frontlines of the clash between East and West, Islamism and progress. There, in the small town of Al-Kifl, lies -- at least at the time of this writing -- the 2,500-year-old Tomb of the Prophet Ezekiel. But for the first time in recorded history, the Tomb is threatened not by the collateral damage of war, nor the ignominies of thieves and bandits, but by a planned, government-authorized, and taxpayer-funded demolition. / / The Jerusalem Post..

Ashley Rindsberg What if Iran got nuclear weapons? This geopolitical thought-experiment is not as radical as it might sound – at least not for people in the policy world. It is, after all, a scenario of the political game Washington is grappling with on the Iran issue and it's almost certain that President Obama, as a rational realist, has posed this question to himself and to others around him. / While the question is interesting, it's Mr. Obama's answer that everyone wants to know. It's here that another counterfactual can be posed: What if the president considers that outcome (of Iran possessing.. Location: Featured Articles > Archive |
Dear Editor, / / / I have just finished reading yet another New York Times article that focus’s its main attack on Jewish settlements in Judea & Shomron. These articles clearly promote the opinion that the root cause to the current stalemate between Palestinians and Israeli's is Jewish housing projects. The continual western journalist's fetish for Jewish settlement is becoming apparent given the events of the past decade concerning this conflict. According to your editorials, it is as if Oslo, Disengagement, rise of Hamas and its subsequent rockets, have poof, up and vanished, or made.. Location: Deconstruction > Archive |
NY Times Editorial 2009 President Obama has set clear and appropriate priorities ahead of the visit to Washington on May 18 by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel. Speaking to Jewish-American activists last week, Vice President Joseph Biden conceded, “You’re not going to like my saying this,” and then he laid out the administration’s list. / If there is going to be a serious peace effort with Palestinians, Israel must work toward a two-state solution, Mr. Biden said. It must freeze further settlement construction in the West Bank and dismantle roadblocks between Palestinian cities and.. Location: Deconstruction > Archive |
