Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
There was a no-win question asked on the fourth-grade playground at Mt Sterling Elementary School when I attended, back in the days of quill pens and inkwells: If you were up to your neck in [insert vulgar term for feces here], and someone threw a bucket of [insert slang term for urine here] at your …
It has frequently been noted that the top Hamas leadership lived not in Gaza, but in wealth and safety in Doha, Qatar. The Qatari government told them to find someplace to stay, so most of them have headed for Turkey. A lot of their families live there, but I have to wonder how long the Turkish government will put up with these cretins.
Hamas and Hezbollah are the fighting organizations of a late Medieval tribal culture. In the eyes of Western Civilization all these tribes look like barbarians and savages.
At what point in history did the losers in a war ever get to dictate terms to the winners? All kinds of people were sagely telling the world that, with the express train that sent Hamas’ leader, Yahya Sinwar, to his 72 bacha bazi boys in Jahannam, there was a fresh opportunity for a ceasefire …
William Teach of The Pirate’s Cove reported that, now that Yahya Sinwar has been sent to his 72 bacha bazi boys in Jahannam, the so-called ‘Palestinian Authority’ in Judea and Samaria are calling for a ceasefire. No Westerner can truly comprehend what passes for ‘thinking’ among the Arabs, but at least to me, it sounds …
Israel blew up the last of Hezbollah’s hierarchy as they met in secret in a totally secure bunker. Netanyahu casually addressed the UN while terrorist-supporting diplomats walked out of his speech. I wonder how many had pagers on their belts.
Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie is, according to his Wikipedia biography: an Indian-born British-American novelist. His work often combines magic realism with historical fiction and primarily deals with connections, disruptions, and migrations between Eastern and Western civilizations, typically set on the Indian subcontinent. Rushdie’s second novel, Midnight’s Children (1981), won the Booker Prize in 1981 and …
This part four of the Coexist series. It explores the Hamas case study introduced in Part 1. It builds on the analysis in Part 2 and Part 3.
I frequently see cars with the “Coexist” bumper sticker. When I see them, I often wonder about the person who put the bumper sticker on their car. Why? Are they true believers or virtue signalers? When situations get complicated like that of Israel and Hamas, how will they act? This article, part 1 of 5, provides an introduction and frames the issues.
Following the extermination — I will not use the word assassination to reference the killing of a cockroach — of Ismail Haniyeh as the political leader of Hamas, the leadership of the terrorist group decided that Yahya Sinwar should be their new Fearless Leader. Well, now the distinguished Mr Sinwar has added a new demand …
So, if Mrs Emhoff “shares the goals” of the outside demonstrators, it has to be asked: which of their goals does she share?
Following the extermination — I will not use the word assassination to reference the killing of a cockroach — of Ismail Haniyeh as the political leader of Hamas, the leadership of the terrorist group decided that Yahya Sinwar should be their new Fearless Leader. Israel had long ago declared that that Mr Sinwar is a …
I noted, on June 6th, that Hamas leaders don’t really care about the lives of ordinary Palestinians, and see the sacrifice of their lives as politically useful: Ismail Haniyeh is the ‘Chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau,’ and as such is supposedly the chief officer of that terrorist group. On October 7, 2023, he gave …
In November of 2022, I had the privilege of a far-too-short visit to Jerusalem, really just 3 days, and my daughter and I spent almost all of our time in the Old City. We were able to attend Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, visit the Western Wall, then ascend the Temple Mount …
On Wednesday, the prime minister of Israel visited the United States to address Congress nearly 10 months after Palestinian soldiers broke a ceasefire, invaded Israel, raped and murdered 1,200 civilians, and kidnapped 240 others.
While such actions are deemed necessary, they also raise ethical and moral questions about the use of government power for those that don’t understand combat.
Far too many of the leaders of Hamas have been hiding outside of Gaza, safely ensconced in Lebanon, Egypt, and Qatar. Ismail Haniyeh, net worth $4 billion, is the ‘Chairman of Hamas Political Bureau,’ and has been living a life of luxury in Qatar. Apparently alone among the top leadership, Yahya Sinwar is believed to …
Instead of being outraged that Gazan families were holding Israelis captive – or even being happy that several hostages had finally been freed – the international community condemned Israel for the “civilian” deaths caused by the raid.
But the civilians in Gaza are the support system for Hamas, just as much as German and Japanese civilians supported their countries’ war machines.
Hamas has a very well organized and financed U.S. propaganda operation, an operation masquerading as, “college student protests.”
