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.
Jihad Featured “The presence of Jews on the West Bank has nothing to do with prospects for peace” In light of the current open season on the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria, Murtadd to Human wishes to support these beleaguered communities by sharing with readers Caroline Glick’s powerful address to an Intelligence Squared debate in London ten years ago.
Anti-Semitism Featured How to live next to persecutors and break even Polish communists joined Soviet communists in their grief that Hitler failed to kill all European Jews. The Palestinian Nakba is a tragedy because in 1948 the Arabs failed to kill the Jews, both those who came to Palestine from antisemitic Europe and those who had lived there from time immemorial.
Totalitarianism Featured As Holocaust clouds gather again, EU Commission rushes to appoint “Islamophobia” Czarina To be accused of “Islamophobia” is, by that very act, to be guilty of it, for it is an accusation against which there can be no defence, against which everyone has to constantly prove their innocence to avoid being accused.
Humour A long-standing journalistic tradition ends when Muslim brings down “Man bites dog” "We have no space for forgiveness, and now we feel violated."
Dissidents/Ex-Muslims While their voices may still legally be heard Tyranny does not begin with the end of freedom, it begins with indifference to the end of freedom.
Jihad Featured The barbarians are at Grand Central, putting out the call for genocide To globalise the Intifada means Jew-killing moving up several gears, from seven Jews here and thirty-five Jews there, to hundreds of thousands of Jews, time after time after time across the world, in other words, industrial-scale Jew-killing such as the Nazis could only dream of.
Humour Featured Paludan’s Books A line in one of Karl Marx’s economic works comes to mind, that goes something to the effect of: “once a man has bought a loaf of bread, it doesn’t matter whether he eats it, or plasters the wall with its slices.”
Editorials Featured 22 years after Ahlam Tamimi, Jews are STILL surprised that Palestinians celebrate murder The Palestinian nation is a pathology. It can know happiness and national affirmation only in the death of Jews. It cannot, by virtue of that fact, be permitted within striking distance of Jews, unless under close and constant armed guard. That is reality.

Polemics Featured There are NO human rights violations in Iran: Answer to Dr Alon Ben-Meir There are no human rights in Islam, so there can be no human rights in an Islamic Republic. There are no human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, so there can be no human rights violations in Iran.
Totalitarianism Featured And STILL they prattle on about a “women’s revolution” - Part 3 The Iranian regime is not against women per se; it is against everyone who is not the Supreme Leader. Everyone is subject to arbitrary control, and the arbitrary power of all strata ends up borne by women, in Iran instrumentalised in the hijab.
Israel Misguiding the Perplexed - Part 2 Had Salman Rushdie been Jewish, we would have welcomed him as an absolutely standard member of the Jewish community. It didn’t even register on the Richter scale in terms of Jewish challenge
