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 […]
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.

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 […]
When truth and fact replace lies and propaganda
Danny Ayalon, Israel’s deputy Foreign Minister, explains historical facts relating to the pan-Arab conflict with Israel. This short video explains the truth about the rise and perpetration of lies such as “the West Bank”, “the Israeli occupation” and “the 1967 borders”. 6 minutes and 17 seconds – that’s all you need to put the Arab […]
Osama bin Laden is dead
The world’s number 1 terrorist, the Islamist mass-murderer Osama bin Laden, has been killed in Pakistan. At last. Now the world community is finally free to concentrate its efforts on his heirs: Hizbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon, Hamas’s Khaled Meshal currently in hiding in Syria, and the President of Syria himself, Bashar al Assad, who […]
