Today the news is that IAEA inspectors have left Iran after two days, having declared their mission a failure. Read More »

Western governments, eager to restrain Israel from attacking Iran, would have us believe that “everyone” is against us. And, indeed, as I have indicated myself, it sure feels that way, because those who are opposed to Israeli action are the ones who are publicly vocal. They are, of course, also applying maximum pressure. Read More »

This first item takes precedence over everything else I may write today: Yesterday I received an e-mail from Minka G., an acquaintance of mine from Maryland. She wrote: “Would you kindly ask your community to pray for my grandson? He is 16 months old and has a terrible cancer that there is no known cure or treatment for. Read More »

Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey gave an interview to CNN yesterday. No surprise that he said an attack on Iran would be “destabilizing,” “imprudent,” and fail to achieve “long term goals.” We know the US administration is against a military attack. Read More »

Motzei Shabbat (after Shabbat) Please see my most recent piece, “The Genocidal Quest for ‘Palestine’” — it went up yesterday: http: //frontpagemag.com/2012/02/17/islamists-for-palestine/ ~~~~~~~~~~ On Thursday evening, I attended a showing here in Jerusalem of UNMASKED — JUDEOPHOBIA , The Threat to Civilization .

On Tuesday — the day after the attack in New Delhi — there were two explosions in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. One explosion tore through a house (pictured below) from which three Iranians, one of whom was wounded, fled. Apparently, this was a “work accident. Read More »

The attack took place in New Delhi, the capital of India, today, while there was a second attempt in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.  In both instances explosives were utilized in cars connected to the local Israeli embassies. Read More »

Ben Gurion famously referred to “oom shmoom,” which is a derisive reference to the UN that cannot quite be translated. (“Oom” referring to the United Nations and “shmoom” being a nonsense putdown. Read More »

A brief posting today, before Shabbat, focused on Hamas and the “reconciliation” with Fatah. As predicted, it is shaky at best, and by the time I write again who knows how the situation will have shifted. Word is coming from multiple sources now indicating great dissatisfaction with the agreement on the part of Hamas leaders in Gaza. Read More »

It pleases me to begin with mention of Tu B’Shvat, which starts tonight. A holiday with religious significance in the Mishnah (as the “New Year of the Trees” with regard to how years are calculated for harvest of fruit), Tu B’Shvat has become very Read More »

Motzei Shabbat (After Shabbat) Just days ago, we learned, via what we were told was an accidental slip by Senator Dianne Feinstein, that Mossad officials were in the US for discussions with officials there with regard to Iran. Then on Thursday, there were two occurrences in tandem. Read More »

I am always reluctant to repeat here speculative, unconfirmed reports that pass as “news.”  For once I repeat them, I am reinforcing the impression that what I am saying is solid news. Read More »

Afraid it’s “that time” again: Time for a review of what’s going on with our “partners for peace” and their brothers in Hamas.  Hate doing this.  But every so many days… As was totally predictable, the “talks” supervised by Jordan have gone nowhere and are likely finished. Read More »

There’s a good deal happening, and much to respond to.  Please read this through and act.  I like to think of my readers as also actors in the important fights we are fighting  — against some things, for others.  Your assistance does make a difference. Read More »

My readers have heard from me about Mitzpe Avichai, and now it is time to turn our attention to Migron — which presents some very serious issues.  You will learn things here that it is unlikely you’ve heard from your mainstream media sources. Read More »

On Sunday I had written that a major joint Israeli-US military exercise — to be the biggest ever held — which had been scheduled here for this spring had been cancelled, allegedly for budgetary reasons.  The news was brand-new when I put it out. Read More »

We’re still dealing with Mitzpe Avichai.  As my readers are well aware, I have focused on mistreatment of the infants and children forced out of their homes during the evacuation of this neighborhood. Read More »
