Denying the Truth

Jimmy Carter claims in his book that Israel is the primary obstacle to peace in the Middle East. The problem is that groups like Hamas and the PLO, who are considered to be Israel's partners for peace, explicitly declare in their charters and publicly say that they will accept no Jewish state there and that they refuse to even negotiate--in other words, the "occupation" refers to all of Israel, since the whole land belongs to the Palestinians, in their terrorist rhetoric. I asked Jimmy Carter myself how he could support his claim in light of this contradiction, but he just will not recognize facts even if they scream in his face--he simply cited 'statistics' that most of Hamas is moderate and accepts Israel, though their leaders like Khaled Mashal have declared again and again that they will never do this. Just goes to show that even presidents are naive.

Jimmy the Liar

It has been well documented that Jimmy Carter's new book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" is full of plagiarism, outright lies and omissions of crucial details, and presents an extremely distorted and unrealistic view of the current Arab-Israeli conflict. The book is in no way academic, and many of of Carter's associates, even those who are not Zionists at all, have withdrawn support from him over the non-objectivity of his work. I encourage you to read some of the criticisms of the book.

The U.N. Bias

There is clearly a global double standard applied in the arena of human rights. Israel, a paragon of human and civil rights in the Middle East, is the focus of the most attention from the rest of the world in this area, when many other worse violators receive scant attention. Israel's actions of self-defense against terrorists are criticized as human rights violations. In fact, Muslim countries have united to form a bloc in the U.N. Human Rights Council (which many of them do not even deserve to sit on, as shown by their own human rights records) to pass forward automatic and regular examinations of human rights in Israel--and you can be sure these are not fair towards Israel. Meanwhile, the Council has not even condemned the genocide in Darfur--only condemning Israel. Israel is the only U.N. member country barred from sitting on the Council! In the recent war with Hizbullah, the Council only criticized Israel, and not Hizbullah, which was firing rockets at Israeli civilians every day!

The Ultimate Shopper

So the U.S. decided to try a new strategy to pressure Kim Jong Il--banning sale of luxury goods (of which he is a major global consumer) to North Korea. Right, that'll work real well. I heard somewhere that he's like the highest spender in the world on cognac.

The Midterm Knockout

Bush gets a double whammy in the two chambers by the Democrats, and then acts like he wants to cooperate?

The Hizbullah Threat

Hizbullah, the Islamic terror group with ties to Iran, led by Hassan Nasrallah, is trying to bring down the democratic administration of Lebanon led by Saniora; allowing this to happen would be disastrous for Lebanon, Israel, and the Middle East as a whole; they must not be allowed to take control from within and then use the system for their own terrorist ambitions.

United We Must Stand

The international community needs to put up a united face towards Iran. Otherwise, we might end up regretting it and getting stuck in our own squabbles.
