Startled marines find Afghan men all made up to see them
"We were pretty shocked," Marine Fletcher said. "We discovered from the Afghan soldiers we had with us that a lot of men in this country have the same philosophy as ancient Greeks: ‘a woman for babies, a man for pleasure’."...

I'm fed up being called an anti-Semite
Ever since I went to Israel on holiday, I've considered it to be a shitty little country too. And I was under the impression that even Israelis thought this. I mean, if they thought Israel was small but perfectly formed, surely they wouldn't be so hell-bent on making it bigger and better, come what may....

Jewish support of Israel can get people fired for taking a courageous stand
The day the book was scheduled to be published, I went to visit MacMillan’s. Checking in at a reception desk, I spotted Griffin across a room, cleaning out his desk. His secretary Margie came to greet me. In tears, she whispered for me to meet her in the ladies room. When we were alone, she confided, “He’s been fired.” She indicated it was because he had signed a contract for a book that was sympathetic to Palestinians. Griffin, she said, had no time to see me....

Just Get Out!
Does the declination of possessive pronouns confuse you? Surely you are at ease with "mine" and "ours." But do you also understand the concepts behind "yours," "his," "hers," and "theirs"? When I look at the map of the land grab for your illegal settlements, I have serious doubts. The suicide bombs are the mutant flowers of Israel's brutalizing occupation, springing from the seeds of the 54-year-long dehumanization of Palestinians. T...

THIS IS HOW THE ISRAELI EXECUTED MY SON
"The conflict is centered in territories that have been under harsh military occupation for 35 years. The conqueror is a major military power, acting with massive military, economic and diplomatic support from the global superpower. Its subjects are alone and defenseless, many barely surviving in miserable camps, currently suffering even more brutal terror of a kind familiar in "evil colonial wars" and now carrying out terrible atrocities of their own in revenge." Noam...

Palestine and the Geocentric Left
LEFTIST THEORY has always reminded me of the old earth-centered universe. Back then, whenever anybody observed something going on in the skies that contradicted the model, he would tweak and adapt it to account for the new phenomenon. Eventually the whole contraption became so intricate and unwieldy that it collapsed. The problem wasn't that the model was not sufficiently elaborate, but rather that it was fundamentally flawed and had to be discarded....

Please, Dad, Tell Me: How Do I Stop Being Complicit?
Dear Dad,
It was an enormously heavy responsibility you raised me with. You taught me that the Jews have been oppressed for centuries. You taught me that the holocaust could only happen because the Germans were silent. You taught me that Jews must never, never, never be silent when injustice occurs, because our silence makes us complicit....
