Appeasement worked so well last time round, right?
Europe, led as usual by the French, has a penchant for wanting history to repeat itself. 80 years ago Europe was all for appeasing the Nazis. The Nazis have two ideological pillars, pursued with terrifying tenacity: to create an empire consisting of what they regard as the “master-race”, subjugating and/or killing all who stand in […]
The Emperor’s New Clothes Are Embarrassingly Transparent
Apparently Barack Obama is the President, Prime Minister and National Saviour of the Jewish state of Israel. He is also the Global Conscience of the entire world. In his own mind, at least. Yesterday, March 18th 2015, it became clear that: “The administration of President Barack Obama will not accept Netanyahu’s policy reversal since his […]
The diplomacy of bullies and double-standards
The diplomacy of bullies and double-standards Private conversation overheard over an open mike: President 1: “I can’t stand him. He’s a liar.” President 2: “You’re sick of him, but I have to deal with him every day.” All spoken privately but accidentally broadcast over an open mike. President 1 was Nicolas Sarkozy, the head of […]
Palestine: a study in uncontrolled addiction

UN member state Syria increasingly resembles an apocalyptic graveyard. UN member state Lebanon is […]

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 Arab world is aflame – but the US, EU and UN focus on Israel
Here’s a question: Why is it that there are no less than THREE Palestines? Three Palestines whose official policy is ethnic cleansing of Jews from their nascent territory. Firstly there’s Palestine 1/aka Jordan, capital Amman, built on roughly 77 percent of the British Mandate area – the territory earmarked to be returned to the Jewish […]
Obsession is the new sanity
Let’s see now: The mad-dog regime of North Korea detonates an underground nuclear device in direct contravention of global opinion – while extorting food aid from the nations of the world. Yawn from the UN and EU. The brutal regime of Assad has breached the 100,000 mark in the number of Syrian citizens murdered by […]
Essential apps
Do you have a smartphone? What apps do you have in it? No doubt a whole lot that are informative, enjoyable and just plain amusing. In Israel certain apps are, well, kind of vital. In a life and death kind of way. That’s because of the various Palestinian Arab governments. There are two at the […]
