As the Muslim Middle East burns, the Presbyterian Church (USA) takes a brave stand – against Israel. Sunni Muslim terrorist group Boko Haram is slaughtering its way through Christian communities in Nigeria, its reputation for barbarism preceding it as it rides a wave of genocidal attacks.

The expensive joke that is the UN
The UN is one of the most underrated – and expensive – comedy shows ever. UN member state the Philippines has been devasted by a recent typhoon, with huge loss of life and the eradication of many communities and population centres. UN member state Syria increasingly resembles an apocalyptic graveyard. UN member state Lebanon is […]
The Middle East Gamble
There’s a whole lot of head-scratching going on right now following US President Obama’s abrupt, some might say erratic, about-turn after discovery of the use of chemical weapons in Syria. Some analysts allege cold feet, others suggest that Obama allows his craving for personal popularity to dictate his politics, while still others field various conspiracy […]
The Islamist onslaught on Israel has ended – for now
Hostilities between Gaza’s Islamist Hamas regime and the Jewish state ended as they began. With Hamas dictating the pace. Hamas started the conflict by raining missiles on Israeli civilians. And after the ceasefire went into effect, Hamas fired up to 20 missiles at Ashkelon, Sderot, Sha’ar Ha’Negev, Kiryat Malachi and Ashdod. That’s the latest “ceasefire” […]

Muddying the waters
Islamists are on the march globally, so the world’s attention has to be forcibly focused elsewhere while the forces of Islamism manoeuvre into place.

His article is entitled “Israel’s New Strategic Environment”. His analysis is interesting, but flawed or at best incomplete in certain respects. One factor George Friedman […]
Earthquake hits Turkish regime
The earthquake in Turkey has not only brought death and injury to the long-suffering Turkish people. Among the earthquake’s victims is also the Turkisk regime’s attitude towards the Jewish state of Israel. Because now the Turkish regime has been forced to back down, submitting a request for emergency assistance. Which Israel is more than willing […]
Lies, damned lies
It’s a simple question really: is objectivity even remotely possible when reporting on the Middle East? Or is it simply that only pathological liars, idiots, racists and jihad supporters are involuntarily drawn to practise their peculiar brand of “journalism” in the Middle East? Richard Goldstone is not the only liar in the business when it […]
Here are the facts, draw your own conclusions
Few comments, more facts. Read, absorb, and draw your own conclusions as to where humanity is to be found and where systematic, government-sanctioned and EU-financed brutality is the order of the day. Tundra Tabloids has an interview with sergeant Edi Itelman, the Israeli military paramedic who came to the village of Itamar in the disputed […]
