Why is This NY Congressional Election All About Israel?

What about the economy, jobs, the environment, reaffirming the rights of workers, preventing NY jobs from going overseas? Nope, none of that matters apparently. The special election to fill Anthony Weiner’s vacated congressional seat has turned into a contest of who can love Israel more, complete with some good old-fashioned racial/religious politics and Islamophobia: In […]

Washington Post Ombudsman Defends Jennifer Rubin’s Post About the Norway Attack

What is the point of having an ombudsman if all they are going to do is get defensive and rationalize the nonsense that gets printed by their writers/bloggers? So much for accountability. I won’t bore you with a total re-hashing of the controversy, which I wrote about at length when it happened. I was one […]

Canada: Criticism of Israel is Anti-Semitism

So much for free speech: Nearly two years after the first hearings were held in Ottawa, the Canadian Parliamentary Coalition fto Combat Anti-Semitism (CPCCA) released a detailed report on July 7 that found that anti-Semitism is on the rise in Canada, especially on university campuses.

Anders Behring Breivik’s European Declaration of Independence 2083

This is the first chance I’ve had to actually go read some of Anders Breivik’s, aka Andrew Berwick, 1500 page manifesto against Islam, assimilation, multiculturalism and liberalism.

What was initially described as an obvious terrorist attack soon became the work of a “lone wolf” motivated […]

The Israeli Right Has Totally Lost It

At least J-Post lets their racism hang right out there in the open. I’m not even going to excerpt it. Basically, they want to draw attention away from the fact that the Norway killer, Anders Breivik, was a far, far right Islamophobe and Zionist and to the importance of his message- that, in their view, […]

*updated* Neocons & Islamophobic Right Not So Interested in Oslo Bombing Now That It’s Clear It Was Not Perpetrated by Islamofascists

Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up. I have been crazy busy at work and at home and was barely able to watch/listen to/read that much about the tragic terror attack in Oslo. But one of the things I did initially hear is that it must be the result of a Jihadi movement. Now that […]
