The Present: Oscar-Worthy Victimhood
It is said that history is written by the victors. That is apparently not always true. When ‘narrative’ stands in for history, history can be revised and written by the vanquished. And, accordingly, we have the movie, The Present, a Palestinian narrative in cinematic form. Having already won several prizes, it is a candidate in […]
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 […]
This is what the New York Times should be doing!
The New York Times (NYT) and other major papers could benefit readers by taking an example from the British medical journal, The Lancet. Let us look at the difference between the way the NYT and Lancet handled opinion pieces written about the March of Return in Gaza. These protests began on 30 March and will […]
Making Arab Kids A Focal Point Of The Propaganda War Against Israel

Minnesota representative, Betty McCollum (Dem), decided to join that war and she put forward a new bill calling on the USA to fight the civil rights abuses committed by Israel against Palestinian children. Al […]
Academic Lies! And This Passes For Scholarship!
In critiquing an academic paper that was published in the journal, International Relations and Diplomacy, I found a blatant lie that made my blood boil. In another post critiquing this same article, I showed how common myths demonizing Israel have found their way into scholarly writing published in academic journals. Here I want to contest […]
Academic Propaganda Against Israel Masquerading As Legit Scholarship
The biggest danger is that once this kind of irresponsible drivel is published, it is common for other academic papers to cite them as academic source materials. Israel bashing in scholastic publications, then, based on distortions of the truth grows more and more legitimate. Can anyone think that an article like this is anything other […]

Not Your Usual Terror Tunnels Under Israel
Of course, we all know about the terror tunnels under Gaza, and there is talk of tunnels under our northern border as well. The Arabs hope to flood our lands with terrorists popping up from the ground in our kibbutzim and moshavim, like armed groundhogs with the sole goal of murdering or abducting as many of […]
This Scares Me More than Trump or Hillary
Scared about Trump becoming the next president? Scared about Hillary? Here is what scares me more than either of them: anti-Semitic propaganda and the American student! We hear so much about BDS and antisemitism on American (and Canadian) campuses. And we hear about how antisemitic propaganda, in the guise of being pro-Palestinian is drawing American […]
