Haniyeh and Nasrallah to be tried for war crimes
Just kidding – they’re protected after all by the UN. The purpose of the UN is to protect dictatorships from the onslaught of democracy. And the democracies pay for this travesty of justice.

An illiterate Foreign Minster?
Is Sweden’s Foreign Minister Carl Bildt illiterate? Or can he actually read and write, and it’s just his thought processes that are muddled? Richard Goldstone recently published a scathing report that heavily criticised Israel for its 30-day operation in Gaza in January this year. Remarkably, however, the report failed to take make mention of the […]

A promising investment
The UN Human Rights Council is the best, the most promising, the most successful purchase the Arab regimes have made to date. An investment worth its weight in oil.
