Heroes Haim Graf and Mordechai KomornikThere were two interesting and related articles in the Palestine Post of March 22, 1948, on events that happened 75 years ago today, that were both about Jewish heroes.The first real heroes were two guards, Haim Graf and Mordechai Komornik, who saw smoke coming out of the abandoned vehicle outside the Solel Boneh building...

Abbas didn't condemn Jerusalem attacks; Palestinian newspaper upset at UAE and Turkey for condemning them

It used to be that Mahmoud Abbas, like Yasir Arafat before him, would issue a pro forma condemnation of deadly terror attacks against Israel. As of this writing, he hasn't said a word against the twin Jerusalem attacks, nor the Ariel terrorist attacks. He doesn't even pretend anymore to be against terror. Earlier this year he only reluctantly condemned some attacks...

08/16 Links Pt1: Palestinian response to terror on Israelis shows why peace is impossible; EU funds NGO agendas seeking to undermine Israeli counter-terror policies

From Ian: JPost Editorial: Palestinian response to terror on Israelis shows why peace is impossible A nation, said John F. Kennedy in October 1963, just a month before he was assassinated, “reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers.” How true, not only of nations, but also different societies, and segments within those...

From Ian: Noah Rothman: Barack Obama Made the World a More Dangerous Place And that was fine with the Obama White House. From 2009 to 2013, the White House seemed intent only on extricating itself from European affairs. The administration repeatedly canceled plans to provide radar and interceptor missiles to Central European states, withdrew the last American armored units...

Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood warns against Jew cooties

The term "Jew cooties" was created by Meryl Yourish in 2005 to describe how Arabs and Muslims would treat anything remotely associated with Jews or Israel as dangerous and infectious. (Ironically, her first example - of Dubai rejecting Israeli medical equipment - no longer applies.)The Observer General of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, Abdul Hamid Al-Thneibat, just...

03/09 Links Pt2: State Department Hire Oversaw UN’s Terrorist Textbook Program; The PLO has renounced all agreements with Israel, and why it doesn’t matter

From Ian: The case for a Palestinian state is based on flawed moral logic Consequently, the moral argument for Palestinian self-determination and statehood compete with moral arguments for Israel’s existence. If the moralists are correct, Israel’s crime was not in winning the war against Arab aggression in 1967, but its survival and victory in 1949. As long as Palestinians...

From Ian: The UN Must Reject Palestinian Rejectionism The United Nations reserves November 29, its International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, for robust anti-Israel activity. The day’s events inappropriately put the UN’s thumb on the scale in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, encouraging Palestinian obstinacy by normalizing Palestinian viewpoints. November...

03/09 Links Pt1: Jaffa terror victim was US Army vet, MBA student; Fatah celebrates murder of American

From Ian: Avni: Terror shouldn’t be rewarded Making sense of death is a near-impossible task. But with more than four months having passed since the brutal murder of my father, Richard Lakin, a dual citizen of both Israel and the United States, some things have become clear to me. Firstly, the evil of terrorism does not discriminate, striking down the very best of people. Secondly, terror does not occur in a vacuum. More than 30 Israelis have been...

The article, by Yaser Azaatreh, calls these "heroic operations." The author is especially enamored that the terrorists are incited to hate in schools and universities and mosques to act alone, so that the PA security forces aren't aware...

11/12 Links Pt1: Why Abbas Will Not Condemn Terror Attacks; Hamas 2nd Richest Terror Org

From Ian: Khaled Abu Toameh: Why Abbas Will Not Condemn Terror Attacks Secretary of State Kerry's "peace process" actually put Israelis and Palestinians on a new collision course. Not a single Palestinian Authority official has denounced the wave of terror attacks on Israel. They, too, are afraid of being condemned by their people for denouncing "heroic operations" such as ramming a car into a three-month old infant. Kerry and other Western leaders...
