When the chips are down, the popes are no friends of the persecuted Church “Obama’s foreign policy has three parts: Abandon our allies, appease our enemies, and apologize for America,” US Congresswoman Liz Cheney famously said. To be “deep in history” is to recognize that popes down the ages have adopted the policy of feeding the […]

Horton Smears Anew
In 2019, five years after a petition first appeared, demanding that a letter in The Lancet accusing the IDF of “massacres” in Gaza be retracted, it seemed that the journal’s editor, Richard Horton, no longer bore ill-will toward Israel. By then Horton had visited Israel and seen how its medical system provides equally excellent care to […]
The Despair In Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon Has Nothing To Do With Israel
Young Arabs are suffering terribly from the economic difficulties in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. In Syria, thirteen years of civil war have caused six million people to flee the country, and another five million are internally displaced – that is, living mainly in tent cities throughout Syria. The country’s infrastructure lies in ruins; it is […]
Turkey Not Only Appears Hostile to the West – It IS Hostile to the West
Turkey not only appears hostile to the West – it is hostile to the West. Yet it wants to remain in NATO, and finds it outrageous that the European states he has so maligned do not want Turkey to become part of the EU, which would bring another 82 million Muslims within Schengenland, allowing them to […]
Still More Logical Fallacies of the Anti-Israel Brigades
Elder of Ziyon several weeks ago compiled a list of the various logical fallacies the anti-Israel haters exhibit; find it here. I discussed the first seven here, and four more here. Here are still more: 12. Argument from Motives (reverse) fallacy: “Too many Palestinian men beat their wives and children, but it is understandable because they […]
Logical Fallacies of the Anti-Israel Brigades
Elder of Ziyon a couple of months ago brought to our attention a list of the various logical fallacies the anti-Israel haters exhibit; it’s worth a look here. I expect most anti-Israel voices to be idiotic, just as I expect more antisemites to be idiots. But especially since October 7, we have seen lots of […]
Had Israel Existed 10 Years Earlier, There Might Have Been No Holocaust
What if the State of Israel had existed ten years earlier? Jacob Sivak argues that had that been a Jewish state before World War II, there might not have been a Holocaust. More of his argument can be found here, stated a couple of months ago but enduringly relevant: “Holocaust scholars were wrong: A Jewish […]
Iran’s Ambitions, and Their Limits
Benjamin Kerstein several years ago found a number of parallels between the Nazi regime and present-day Iran. I agree with most, but not all, of his observations, which remain relevant and can be found here. Imperialism: The Nazi regime’s primary short-term goal was to create a Europe-wide empire that would ensure the rule of the racially […]
Arab League Military Advisor: Protocols of Elders of Zion Reveal Israel’s Goal is to Expand from Nile to Euphrates
Can you stomach a paragraph of General Mahmoud Khalifa? It’s nothing new. You’ve read about it dozens of times here at Jihad Watch. But the tide of idiocy has to keep being swept back. Here’s the standard crazed claim of a Muslim Arab about the schemes and dreams of “the Jews.” In this case the […]
How Iran’s Mullahs Managed to Turn Iranians Away From Islam
Before the 1979 revolution, it was assumed that, like European countries, Iran was on the path toward greater secularization. Shah Reza Pahlavi’s regime, like that of his father, was determined to break the power of the clerics. Many were persecuted, and the most important one of all, Ayatollah Khomeini, fled from Iran. He spent years […]
