Finally fed up with the anti-Israel animus expressed by Irish President Michael Higgins, Taoiseach Simon Harris, and Foreign Minister Micheal Martin, and by virtually the entire political establishment, in December Israel recalled its ambassador to Ireland and closed its Dublin embassy.

Pope Francis Again Maligns Israel for What He Calls Its ‘Cruelty’
Pope Francis has repeatedly defended Islam, claiming that “Islam is a religion of peace.” He has called on Muslims to proselytize for what he has described as the “peaceful religion of Islam,” and in his 2023 book Non Sei Solo: Sfide, Risposte, Speranze (“You Are Not Alone: Challenges, Answers, Hopes”), Francis asks Europeans to be more open to […]
Asma al-Assad Sues for Divorce
The Syrian rats left the sinking ship of their state just in time, whisked away from the tens of millions of Syrians whose lives they have ruined and who would gladly tear them limb from limb. They were saved by the Russians, who flew them out and brought them to Moscow, where they have been […]
The Future of Syria
Now that the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) jihadis appear to have taken charge of Syria, will they fulfill their promise of moderation, or will the hardcore among them depose their current leader, Ahmad al-Sharaa (Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani)? Or will Al-Jolani himself revert to his previous views, when he for so long supported Al-Qaeda and ISIS, […]
The New York Times and ‘The Plight of the Palestinian Scientist’
The New York Times wants you to care — care very much — about what it calls the “plight of the Palestinian scientist.” In an article on their presumed “plight,” the Times adduces exactly four examples of those “Palestinian” scientists in Gaza now suffering, because of the war, new difficulties in conducting their research. Apparently, in Gaza these […]
Antisemitism Skyrockets in France
The latest polls on antisemitic attitudes in France are hair-raising. Many people in France, including its Muslims, now subscribe to more than six “antisemitic prejudices.” One in five young people think the country would be better off if the Jews left. There have been a rash of attacks on Jews, including Jewish girls and women […]
The Long Arm of Israel Reaches the Houthis in Yemen
The IAF on December 19 completed its most devastating attack yet on the Houthis in Yemen.

That In Aleppo Once…Fearful Christians In Syria
While Hayat Tahrir al-Sham leader Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani continues to assure the West that the rights of minorities will be protected in the new Syria, those Syrian minorities are doubtful. They know that in Idlib, where HTS ruled with an iron fist, minorities — in Idlib Province that meant mainly Alawites and Christians — were […]
Turkey reopens embassy in Syria after 12 years; Assad tells Iran that Turkey was aiding jihadis to unseat him
Turkey was the force behind the jihadist opposition, Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), as well as the Syrian National Army (SNA), as they toppled the Assad regime in Syria. Despite widespread celebration of the ouster of Assad, which is seen also as a victory over Shia Iran, the Sunni jihadist rebels intend to impose the Sharia […]
France: Syrian migrants say they’ll still cross into UK rather than return home, ‘there is work, there is peace’
And shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain will likely still treat them as refugees rather than as economic migrants. “Syrians at Calais say they will STILL make the crossing to Britain despite Assad being toppled because UK ‘has work and everything we need,’” by David Averre, Daily Mail, December 12, 2024: Syrian migrants in northern Europe said […]
