Feb. 19, 2010 "By their fruits ye shall know them" is an article about the bogus brouhaha recently created by the pro-Palestinian group J Street. J Street and its fellow traveler organization, Churches for Middle East Peace, brought 5 members of congress to Israel. The host organizations and the US representatives whined about not getting to meet with the Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon and chafed at his suggestion that J Street is not "pro-Israel." Yet, as if to prove Ayalon's point, they gladly met with a Palestinian Authority official who had just extolled the virtues of a man who became a "martyr" after stabbing an Israeli.

Feb. 15, 2010 A new link has been added - Im Tirzu. This organization, obviously named after Theodore Herzl's famous expression: "If you will it" meaning Israel will be reborn, if we all want it enough and work toward it. Im Tirzu calls itself the "Second Zionist Revolution."

WHAT'S NEW IN OUR "MUST READ" SECTION

March 8, 2010 Barry Rubin takes off the gloves and rebukes the Obama administration for its, shall we say, less than candid assessment of its Syrian engagement plan. To put it bluntly, the administration describes no as yes, and nothing as something. Know the facts, don't parrot the NYT or the AP or the press releases coming from the administration.

March 4, 2010 An Israeli member of Knesset suggested that in response to the PA's official and enthusiastically promoted boycott of Israeli goods, that Israel should boycott the hiring of Arab Palestinian workers. Read the article and then express your views through our new poll, found in the left-hand column of this page.

March 4, 2010 Such truth, such sad and scary truth - Israel will only be loved, as will all the other successful, powerful countries, when its people are dead. Sultan Knish's short, utterly on-target article, "I will only love you if you kill yourself," is today's must read. I always referred to this phenomenon as the insistence that Israel, etc., be this time's Jesus - die for everyone else's sin - but the Sultan sees it as applying more broadly.

Feb. 26, 2010 In his "On Terror" blog, Erick Stakelbeck's recent articl e is about J Street's latest attack on Christian Zionists. I witnessed this first hand at the J Street conference in Washington in October. In a panel on Jews, Christians and Muslims working together for peace, the panel moderator, Ron Young, DURING THE PANEL, mentioned evangelical Christians, specifically Rev. Hagee. Young referred to Hagee's group as "Christians United to Take Israel to Hell."

Feb. 26, 2010 JINSA informs the world that last month Iran forced down an airliner and removed a passenger on it, yet virtually no one knows about that, while the world immediately leapt into attack mode against Israel for the assassination of a Hamas leader. Yet another example of the double standard (maybe we should just call that the "Israel Standard" - i.e. the one by which Israel is judged as compared to the standard as in the one everyone else is held to), but this JINSA article also reveals quite a few facts that weigh against the immediate assumption that the assassins were Israeli.

Feb. 16, 2010 An excellent piece by Daniel Mandell in which he takes the shameful verbal assaults on Amb. Michael Oren at UC Irvine, and uses the incident as a lens to examine what constitutes "international opinion," used by the MSU students as the factual basis for their vilification of Oren. Beyond Bogus: International Opinion.

Feb. 12, 2010 Dershowitz on the outrageous anti-Israel member of the Goldstone Commission. Col. Desmond Travers is a disgrace to the UN - and that's an Olympian feat considering what a disgrace the UN is. Read about it here.

Feb. 9, 2010 Outrageous Display at UC Irvine

On February 8th, Israel's ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, was interrupted, harrassed and harangued (Oren's remarks start at 1:02) while giving a speech at the infamous University of California, Irvine campus. Watch, and consider what these young thugs will be doing in just a few years. Or are already doing. And then read the account from the Jerusalem Post.

Patti Villacorta, whose The New Islamoprogressives investigative reports will appear several times each week, is the latest facet of our Z STREET drive to uncover and help defeat global terrorism, the nest of which is located in the Middle East.

Feb. 2, 2010 Islamophobia? I don't think so....not according to the hate crime statistics Villacorta gives us from the FBI. Looks more like Judeophobia, as many of us realized, but none of us have been screaming about. Maybe it's time to scream? Read Islamophobia...All Talk, No Numbers.

Feb. 1, 2010 A letter that somehow escaped the MSM's (frequently flawed) radar screen sent to Janet Napolitano, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security by more than a dozen U.S. pro-Arab organizations, was uncovered by Villacorta. This letter expresses outrage and claims of discrimination against Arabs for there being "enhanced security screening procedures" for people coming from the Middle East. These organizations want the enhanced security measure dropped. Read it for yourself

January 27, 2010 Today's Islamoprogressives outing is Susan Rice and her Selective Moral Outrage Meter. When is a genocide not a genocide? When calling something one does nothing for your poll numbers.

January 26, 2010 Z STREET has a new column: The New Islamoprogressives. Patti Villacorta will be exposing the ways in which those currently in power are inviting - or at least failing to recognize - the foxes into our henhouse. Her writing is fluid and her information is critical. Check out the first installment.

THE ALWAYS ISRAEL BLOG - see articles by topic, click on column on the right

Feb. 9, 2010 Prof. Beres takes all the "clowns" who have been pretending that diplomacy and negotiations were going to convince Iran to back off its dream of nuclear hegemoney. In this article Beres describes what is in store for the Israelis, should Iran unleash a nuclear weapon. The idea of attacking Iran's nuclear facilities is terrifying. The alternative - which surely is not Iran "changing its mind," - is worse.

Jan. 25, 2010 The latest entry by Prof. Beres, "Jihadist End of the World Imaginings," reminds us that the idea of an apocalypse is central both in Judaism and Christianity, but that it probably appeared for the first time in ancient Persia. Ahmadinejad and his clerical masters believe that any “end of the world” struggle could lead the way to a life everlasting. "It should come as no surprise, then, that these Iranian decision-makers might still uncover a terrible beauty in their end-of-the-world imaginings." Not a feel-good read, but nevertheless a must-read.
