The Palestinian Liberation Organization’s (PLO) founding manifesto stated that it was formed “to attain the objective of liquidating Israel.” The organization — along with the Palestinian Authority and Hamas — views Palestinians (children and adults alike) as “resistance” fighters who aspire to “martyrdom,” so it should come as any surprise that one of its officials […]
Obama claims ‘all of us are complicit to some degree’ in ‘occupation’
There is no “occupation.” There hasn’t been a single Israeli in Gaza since 2005. And all the territory of Gaza and Judea and Samaria (that is, the West Bank) belongs by right to Israel. No other state has any claim upon it. See the full explanation of why this is so in The Palestinian Delusion. […]
Harvard president, in her first statement on the war, offers moral equivalence and bromides
The Hamas murders reverberated on college campuses, mostly from pro-Palestinian student groups that were outspoken in their support of Hamas. At Harvard, 33 student groups, most but not all consisting of Muslim members, declared in a joint letter their solidarity with, and support for, Hamas. After this there was a backlash, headed by hedge fund […]
Does the God of the Bible Command to Kill Innocent People? Does This Justify Qur’anic Violence?
The question came up again during my recent appearance on Patrick Bet-David’s podcast: if God commands killing of entire people, including babies, in the Bible (I Samuel 15:3), how can Christians condemn Allah’s commands to kill unbelievers in the Qur’an (2:191, 4:89, 9:5, 47:4)? Islamic apologists contend that to be consistent, Christians who say that […]
On MSNBC, Leftist Radio Host Likens Trump to Osama bin Laden, Says He Should Die In Prison
New in PJ Media: Tucker Carlson recently revealed that in an interview that never aired before he was fired from Fox, the chief of the Capitol police, Steven Sund, told him that on Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol, “that crowd was filled with federal agents.” Mounting evidence that Jan. 6 was anything but an “insurrection” didn’t […]
Thomas Nides Admits He ‘Screwed Up’ in Praying for ‘Both Sides’ After Jihad Massacre of Israelis
The latest American official to admit he was wrong in the comment he made about a recent flare-up of Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorism and the IDF’s response to it is Ambassador to Israel Thomas Nides, who has just returned to Washington from his Jerusalem posting, no doubt to return to civilian life as a well-paid […]
Virginia: Candidate likens Democrats calling Republicans ‘extremists’ to post-9/11 treatment of Muslims
Hung Cao is right. “Extremist” is an exercise in empty demagoguery that is designed to scare people away from supporting the targeted person, without actually refuting what the target says. At the same time, there was a genuine jihad threat after 9/11, and still is. As the years went on, it became far less common […]
India: Leftist activist equates Iran torturing woman for not wearing hijab with ‘Hindu supremacists’
This equivalency is void: “Although Mahsa Amini lost her life in exercising her choice in Iran, no female Muslim student was hurt for exercising her choice of wearing burqa to school (despite a clear violation of school rules).” But when did that ever stop the virtue-signaling? “Far-left ‘activist’ Kavita Krishnan bizarrely invokes ‘Sanghis’ after Islamists […]
On September 11, Kamala Harris Likens Trump Supporters to the 9/11 Terrorists
New in PJ Media: Old Joe Biden said it during his ominous black-and-red speech on September 1: “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” On Sunday, the twenty-first anniversary of the September 11, 2001, jihad terror attacks that killed nearly three thousand people, Chuck Todd on Meet the […]
Sam Harris: Trump is a worse person than Osama bin Laden, who ‘demonstrated many virtues’
Sam Harris said much the same thing back in 2020. Visceral hatred for Trump has robbed him of whatever small reservoir of decency and common sense he may still have had. Of course, Harris is making a nuanced argument here. He would dismiss as facile an observation that Osama bin Laden engineered the murder of […]
