National Law: Lessons Learned From Christian Lebanon (Shadi Khalloul)
The modern State of Lebanon was established by Maronite Christians, as a shelter for them and other persecuted Christian communities in the Middle East. The goal of the founders of the State of Lebanon, experienced with persecution and genocide, was to protect and cultivate, in their own state, their language, Aramaic, and their unique Phoenician-Aramaic […]
Medical Care For Non-Israeli Arabs In Israel?
I feel conflicted. On the one hand, the humanitarian side of me is pulled to offer whatever help I can to those who need it. On the other hand, the self-respectful side of me tells me that it is not right to offer help to others who only want to see us dead. Several years […]
No Hope Of Changing Our National Anthem Now
There are some Israelis – Jews and Arabs alike – who over the years have argued that Hatikva is abhorrent to our non-Jewish citizens and should be changed. It is (bad) enough we are a Jewish country, they seem to imply; no need to add insult to injury by vocally and emotionally proclaiming our eons-long […]
Zionists and Liars: Pots and Kettles
Jeremy Hammond has added me to his category of Zionist Liars. A shame. I prefer to sink my teeth into a good argument rather than seeing the bared teeth of someone I disagree with. Perhaps this is what comes from me writing a review of his book that was not gushingly complimentary. Here is how […]
Exposing A Zionist Hoax: Exposing an Anti-Zionist Hoax
What do you understand when the title of a book criticizing Zionism leaves out the word, Israel and talks about the Palestine conflict as opposed to the Israel-Palestine conflict? Am I just nit-picking here, or does this hint at the level of work presented in this anti-Zionist book? In exchange for a promise to write […]
Moriscos: What If There Had Been A UN in the 1600s?
The irony of it all! Muslims are demanding the “Right of Return” to the homes of their ancestors in Spain.Given that they are lately being offered sympathy and condolences for the injustice committed against them in the Inquisition (see here and here, for example), Spain might one day find itself being led to the guillotine […]
Tripping in Samaria And Talking With Settlers
What would you expect to see on a tour of Samaria? What do you expect settlers to be like? A Very Little Bit of Background Samaria is the ancient name of the region based upon the name of what was once a capital city of the northern Kingdom of Israel. The Hebrew name is The […]
Surest Way to the Next Holocaust
People keep saying how Israel arose from the ashes of the Holocaust. That sounds quite eloquent but it is also quite wrong. The re-establishment of Israel as the modern state of the Jewish People on our ancestral homeland was suggested before World War I, before anyone had ever heard of Hitler. Before Hitler had invented […]
‘Peace Now’ And Racist Demographics
When ‘Peace Now’ began decades ago, I was among those who thought they had the right idea. Working for peace. Who could be against that? Maybe they were not racist back then, but I think they are now. I will show you some material from their website and what came to my mind when I […]
Defending Israel’s Right to Exist — ad nauseum
Time to just stop the merry-go-round and get off! Just get off! Stop defending Israel’s right to exist!
