President Obama has left the United States for a foreign trip that includes Saudi Arabia, Egypt, France and Germany. Unfortunately, a stop in Israel is not included. Why? With increasing rhetoric, Mr. Obama and his administration seem to be leaving Israel in the cold and partnering up with Israel’s Arab enemies at the same time that he is not taking the threats of North Korea seriously. In the past few weeks, President Obama has told Israel that…

I am on vacation in South East Asia visiting friends and touring some areas that I am quite familiar with and some not so much. I have not had much access to news or the internet until the last two days. However, from what I have heard recently, there are definitely a few things that need to be addressed. A few days ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, made a speech in we he agreed for the first time to the possibility of a two state …

If the Arabs put down their weapons today there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today there would be no more Israel. If the Jews all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.–Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you.–Hussein Massawi, former head of the Hezbollah, about the Weste…

…uss politics. And, I must state that being outside of the United States tends to cause one to hear things differently. People here and in other parts of the world, have vastly different opinions and viewpoints. To begin with, Israel’s move into Gaza has very little support outside of the western world. The majority of the news I read and hear is anti-Israeli. This is a fact that I simply cannot understand. Hamas are terrorists. If San Diego was b…

…s are going to end up with egg on their faces on this issue and the Republicans will have been proven correct. Another interesting development in the last few days is US/Israeli relations. Does President Obama really support Israel? In the past few months it is beginning to seem less clear. Obama wants a two state solution. Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel made it clear to President Obama at the White House on Monday that Israel wanted peace. …

…eir innocent captives and repudiate 1,500 years of jihadi practice regarding infidel women. I’m sure it worked out just fine. We never got a status report from any of the ransomed girls. I was put in mind of this Tuesday when Israel ransomed Gilad Shalit, a soldier held captive by Hezbollah, by exchanging 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, convicted of numerous acts of terror. While it may be hoped that such a magnanimous trade will spark gratitude and…

“Remember, there was no Palestine as a state. It was part of the Ottoman Empire” until the early 20th century.” “I think that we’ve had an invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs, and who were historically part of the Arab community. And they had a chance to go many places, and for a variety of political reasons we have sustained this war against Israel now since the 1940s, and it’s tragic.” Newt Gingric…

… seemed on the superficial level to offer continuity, it was actually an ideological reversal, back to the Liberal wing of the Republican Party. Though he lambasted his opponent Michael Dukakis, tarring him with the “Liberal” label, which Reaganism had turned into a dirty word, Bush himself was every bit a Progressive. His admitted trouble with “the vision thing” prevented him from continuing with Reagan’s unfinished work: shrinking government, e…

…iberals, President Obama’s foreign policy completely ignores reality. It is almost delusional. Obama dreams about everything being utopian, but ignores the writings on the wall. And, in the process he insults our trusted ally Israel by demanding it stop building settlements without requiring the Palestinians to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist. The speech was also very Wilsonian. I could imagine the words of Woodrow Wilson pitching the League …

…icently, brilliantly and admirably. What was the “Cage Wisdom”? What did he do? And what would you or I have done…let Tess die? If the Arab Spring rise of democracy in the Middle East searches for a model, is it not Israel, the evolution, revolution and rise of a republic out of a flight for survival, a democratic struggle? Is this not existential, worth of life, the struggle for meaning and purpose, “agony” to those in fear of never a…
