More information comes to light…

So you’ve got to read right down the page, but more information is coming to light about the violence Israeli boarding party were met with. Night-vision footage released by the military showed soldiers dropping from a helicopter one by one and being grabbed by a mob of men wielding sticks on the lead boat, the…

Israel stops shipment

Well, it seems that the Gaza aid ships have been stormed. Sadly, lives have been lost. Israel says its soldiers boarded the lead ship in the early hours but were attacked with axes, knives, bars and at least two guns. “Unfortunately this group were dead-set on confrontation,” Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev told the BBC.…

Shimon Peres Defends Israel

I saw this some time ago. It’s quite simply one of the most defenses of Israel you will ever see.

Full Netanyahu UN Speech

Netanyahu made a fantastic speech at the UN the other day. Some very good points about their pullout of Gaza and the UN silence at terrorist attacks directed at Israel. Not PC and Liberty Scott have made some good comments. Over seventy years ago, Winston Churchill lamented what he called the “confirmed unteachability of mankind,”…

Israel and Racism

Well, the defense for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is going full tilt. Their key defense is that he’s right, because on examination, Israel is in fact a racist state as he claims. Well, that claim ignores a few facts. I thought these remarks were good at explaining that which our friends on the left constantly miss. “Israel…

Tumeke’s mildly left-of-centre-ish in a libertarian pro-capital kind of way; Whaleoil is hard-right. Keeping Stock and SSGHML are variants of  some weird Christian intermediate thingy which both lean heavily rightwards. My…

Boycott Tumeke

Whaleoil isn’t happy with Tumeke! supporting Ahmadinejad. Now, looking at the comments on the post in question we have this gem from Tim. Tim Selwyn said… Scott: I want Israel wiped off the map too – wiped off the map, but not in the way the Jewish state has wiped the Palestinians off the map.…

Michael J. Totten goes to Gaza

Anyone who comments on middle east issues should read Michael J. Totten’s blog. He actually goes to the places that are in the news and shows what is happening first hand, bringing out angles that the MSM just doesn’t bother with. His latest post is no exception. The southern Israeli city of Sderot sits right…

Saved by Israel, Killed by Hamas

Thing is, everyone knows Hamas treated their Palestinian brothers this way. People lie to themselves about Israel, so they can pretend that they’re worse, even though that’s practically impossible. HT: Whaleoil.
