The history of “Palestine”
I’ve cued this up for about a nine-minute excerpt that I think is a valuable lesson about the history of “Palestine.”

Biden has a way with words
I’ll just put this up here without comment. The comments practically write themselves: President Biden: "I told him, Bibi, and don't repeat this, but you and I are going to have a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting." “I’m on a hot … Continue reading →
Anti-Semitism thrives on lies filling in the gaps created by ignorance
Here’s Douglas Murray: “Maybe if we come up with a perfect argument,” he said. “Maybe if we inform people about the history, and broadly speaking, you’re talking about trying to educate or inform people who are not educated or informed.” … Continue reading →
Tonight’s State of the Union address: Biden to supply Hamas
I won’t be watching tonight’s speech by Biden. As usual, I’ll just check the transcript later. And yes, I think he’ll be able to stand there and read it, although there may be a few “gaffes.” And the Democrats will … Continue reading →

Actually, even the general MSM reportage on the Gazan war is often a form of blood libel against the Jews: that is, a promotion of the idea that the IDF either deliberately targets children or doesn’t take care not to … Continue reading →
The anti-Israel CIA
There was quite a bit of discussion of this Tablet article (author Justine El-Khazen) yesterday in the comments here. So I decided to take a look at it. It begins this way: My mother died on Dec. 4 of last … Continue reading →
Part of the PA government resigns
My guess is that this is some sort of meaningless theater, a pretense of change for the better. But that’s just a guess. It would be nice if it actually were a sign of the beginning of some improvement in … Continue reading →
