The great obstacle to Middle East peace

Posted by Moshe Phillips on Thursday, July 23, 2009 12:03:45 AM
 
MUST READ OF THE DAY
 
Jeff Jacoby writes that: "The great obstacle to Middle East peace is not that Jews insist on living among Arabs. It is that Arabs insist that Jews not live among them. If Obama doesn't yet grasp that, he has a lot to learn."
 
Why has "the Obama administration demanded that the Israeli government pull the plug on a planned (Jewish) housing development near the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem," asks Jacoby. The answer is one of the best essays Jacoby has written.

Apartheid in Jerusalem

Posted by Moshe Phillips on Monday, July 20, 2009 11:57:24 PM
 
MUST READ OF THE DAY
 
American Thinker has an excellent article by Leo Rennert about anti-Israel bias in The Washington Post.
 
Below is the intro:
 
"The Washington Post, the liberal media heavy in the nation's capital, displays an apartheid slant in its news columns when it comes to housing in Jerusalem -- Jews, it maintains, should stay in the western side of Israel's capital, while the eastern part should be kept Judenrein as the exclusive turf of Palestinians."

Great Letter to the Editor in The Inquirer

Posted by Moshe Phillips on Friday, July 10, 2009 10:38:49 AM
 
MUST READ OF THE DAY

Surprisingly The Philadelphia Inquirer published a very good letter to the editor in the July 10, 2009 edition:

No moderation from Abbas

Much of the American news media refer to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as a man of "moderation." However, his government continues to glorify terrorists.

Only a few weeks ago, his office sponsored a new computer center and named it after the "martyr Dalal Mughrabi." Mughrabi led the most deadly terror attack in Israel's history. Her 1978 bus hijacking killed 37 civilians, 12 of them children. Clearly, actions like this show that Abbas is not moderate or looking for peace.

Israel and The Two State Solution to Nowhere

Posted by Moshe Phillips on Wednesday, July 08, 2009 4:31:51 PM
 
MUST READ OF THE DAY
 
Alex Grobman has a though provoking essay on Intellectual Conservative. The essay begins:

The latest drive to establish separate Arab and Jewish states will fail because as Yasser Arafat said, "We don't want peace, we want victory."

Hillary Is Wrong About Israeli Settlements

Posted by Moshe Phillips on Thursday, July 02, 2009 6:26:42 PM
 
MUST READ OF THE DAY
 
Former Bush Administration staffer Elliott Abrams writes in the Wall Street Journal that "As the Obama administration has made the settlements issue a major bone of contention between Israel and the U.S., it is necessary that we review the recent history."
 
It is easy to see that Abrams has a very biased viewpoint but his analysis is still a must read...
