Shanah Tovah Shanah Tovah שנה טובה The electors had resolved that the heartland, along with all who dwell within it, shall assume its rightful place at the heart of the affairs of the land. Perhaps a great reckoning is finally at hand.
Hijra Featured Let me try again: They are NOT in danger; they are EXTREMELY dangerous The process of transformation into Islam begins the moment the first Muslims land in your country, because they will observe at least some of the laws of Islam, in which case, “areas where Muslims reside and there is a remnant of Islam's rules are considered Muslim lands.”
Israel Featured Whatever happened to Israeli escalation dominance? Furthermore, and relevant to Israel, Ukraine achieved escalation dominance not with Western weapons, but with weapons she produces herself. Are we to understand that Israel, the tech wonder of the world, is incapable of producing her own weapons independently of the US?
Propaganda Featured Who gets the credit for Muslim anti-Semitism: Hitler or Muhammad? Answer to Israel Academia Monitor By highlighting these cruelties, and in a tone of moral outrage, Dr Küntzel wishes to imply that this hadith is unfit to be Islamic, that by its cruelty and sadism it disqualifies itself. The implication, of course, is that anything in Islam that is cruel and sadistic could not possibly be Islamic.
Israel Featured The unsung heroes of the Israel Supreme Court controversy The Supreme Court setting itself up as the sovereign authority in the land impels the government towards "pragmatic" laws that will not fall foul of the Supreme Court, to err on the side of caution. This makes the Israel Supreme Court a politburo, the very negation of democracy.
Israel Diaries #6 Featured Why I joined Professors for a Strong Israel Professors for a Strong Israel stands as a reminder to academics and students everywhere of what it means to be in control of your own mind, and of just how precarious a privilege that is.
Propaganda Featured The “Islamism” fraud and the damage it wreaks Hajj Amin Al-Husseini and his followers needed no lessons in Jew-hatred from a mere Nazi. They had the Qur’an, and they’ve had it for much longer than there has been Nazis on this earth, and will continue to have it long after Nazism is gone and forgotten.
Israel Featured Orwell, Jabotinsky, Fascism and Islam - Part 5 I find it very hard to believe that Ze'ev Jabotinsky was not aware of the Führer's deference toward Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, especially after the end of WWI. The link between Islam and the predicament facing the Jews must have been coming at Jabotinsky from all sides.
Israel Featured Orwell, Jabotinsky, Fascism and Islam - Part 4 The Arab Riots focussed Jabotinsky's attention on the practical urgency of saving European Jews from being murdered and securing for them their national home. The Helsingfors Programme was immediately to hand. If it was good enough to understand Russia, it was good enough to understand Palestine
Israel Featured Orwell, Jabotinsky, Fascism and Islam - Part 3 Throughout the nation-states newly liberated from Muslim rule, the period was characterised by widespread retribution against Muslims for two centuries of the Dhimma, jizya and a vast array of other doctrinal abuses of Jews and Christians. Jabotinsky the journalist will have had to know about these.
Totalitarianism Featured Orwell, Jabotinsky, Fascism and Islam - Part 2 "At every hour of every day, I can tell you on which page of which book each school child in Italy is studying." — Benito Mussolini
Totalitarianism Featured Orwell, Jabotinsky, Fascism and Islam - Part 1 The process begins with tainting reality with the mark of the condemned: “2+2=4 reeks of white supremacist patriarchy.” From here it is a small step to 2+2= whatever the architects of Rubel’s mind decide it is today.
Israel Featured The Israeli Ambassador’s letter is just plain wrong Gilad Erdan’s letter is demeaning of Israel. Its central pathos is the assertion that Israel has the right to defend itself. No other country makes an issue of its right to defend itself, because it is nothing less than its right to exist. Yet again, Israel draws its own existence into question.
Humanity/inhumanity Featured 75 years of drawing jihad warfare away from the rest of us One of my first Jewish friends told me a joke. What's the smallest book in the world? Great Arab Victories. What's the biggest book in the world? Great Arab Victory Speeches. Forty-two years later, on the brink of a nuclear Shoah, that joke doesn't seem so funny anymore.
Israel Featured Israel is Fighting the World’s War Memorial Day in Israel has important lessons for all of us.
Anti-Semitism Just because they shout "Death to Jews!" doesn't mean they're anti-Semitic The line between German procedural punctiliousness and totalitarian arbitrariness is a fine one.
Jihad Featured ‘Death to Israel’ – The Iranian Plan to Attack Israel The Iranians expect Arabs in the Galilee and Negev to carry out actions against the IDF, such as blocking roads, damaging bridges, spilling oil on roads, blocking intersections, damaging high voltage lines and attacking Jewish settlements (“May 2021 on steroids”).
Atheism/religion Featured Atheists, Israel and Intellectual Honesty: Answer to Amir Schnabel While Benjamin Netanyahu dabbled in the delusion of an accord amongst “Abrahamic” faiths, Israeli atheists were hard at work tossing the anti-Bibi/anti-religion/anti-Zionist word salad, instead of doing something constructive to stop Iran from initiating the next Shoah.
Atheism/religion Featured In recognition of atheists and, in particular, publishers One spectre stirs in Poland, while another rapes Ukraine next door, and in the meantime, we in the West do everything possible to ensure Islam does the same to us all.
Human rights Atheists, whatcha gonna do when they come for you? Step by ever-quickening step, cut down the laws that protect the Jews. Cut down the laws that protect those you hate. If you lack the stomach to slay them yourself, perhaps the mob will do it for you, or perhaps government, the state, a particular official.
Propaganda Featured “Palestinians”: The bigger lie that Smotrich exposed Lies cannot stand forever, no matter how comprehensive the system that shores them up. By their very nature, lies beg exposure. They set up an immediate and permanent tension with something irrefutable. They are inherently unstable. Lies need effort to protect them; truth stands unaided.
Totalitarianism Featured One year of Western escalation submission in Ukraine: what lessons? The power of nuclear weapons lies not in their use, but in their possession, provided you maintain escalation dominance. Conceding escalation dominance reduces you to one of two states: ineffective nuclear weapons; or nuclear war. Unless you are a nihilist, your nuclear weapons become useless.
Israel Featured De-demonising the settlers “It’s a shame to invest in a place that, at the end of the day, won’t be part of Israel.” With these amazingly callous words, the Bennett-Lapid government’s Transportation Minister, Merav Michaeli, answered an audience member’s question of why she had frozen transport projects in Judea and Samaria.
Jihad Featured GrossIneptitude, GrossIdiocy, GrossIrresponsibility Israel only ever defeats the "Palestinians" halfway. An overwhelmingly powerful adversary that never defeats its much weaker enemy, only confirms to its jihad attackers that Allah is with them and stays the hand of the accursed Jew. Anything short of their utter defeat is clear victory.
