Actually there are lots and lots of differences between Kurds and the Islamic State. An example is how the Kurds put their lives on the line for people they don’t even like, the Yazidis. It’s one thing to risk everything for those you love, but to rescue people who you traditionally disdain? That’s the definition…
No, the Israelis don’t “double tap” ambulances
January 22, 2015
Gaza 2014: Findings of an Independent Medical Fact-Finding Mission makes the outrageous, absolutely unsupported, and moronic claim that the Israeli Defense Forces deliberately target first responders such as medical personnel. The term they use is “double tap,” meaning the IDF first attacks a target, then waits until the first responders arrive. Then the Israelis attack…
Nobody actually believes this garbage
January 21, 2015
I was asked to comment on a stinking pile of garbage. Israeli soldier gives 74-year old Palestinian woman water then shoots her in the head During the Israeli bombardment and shelling of the Gaza Strip last summer, an Israeli soldier approached a 74-year-old Palestinian woman Ghalya Abu-Rida to give her a sip of water. He…
No, snipers are not cowards
January 18, 2015
The sign of a mediocre mind is having passionate opinions without factual knowledge. Former filmmaker Michael Moore has made a career of telling imbeciles what they want to hear. Now he’s sounding off on military snipers. First of all, it’s a lead-pipe cinch that Moore didn’t have an uncle who was killed by a sniper…
The happiest man on earth
January 17, 2015
Thanks to a mysterious woman who has all sorts of skills that make me wonder who she really is, I met the happiest man who ever lived. His name is Pierre Rehov. Someday I hope Mr. Rehov writes a memoir. We’ve had several long discussions by phone; his happiness isn’t the type seen here. If…
Pierre Rehov is actually making TWO movies
January 16, 2015
Today Pierre Rehov gave me permission to announce that he’s actually making two documentaries at the same time. Both will be released simultaneously. Like the first movie, this one is fully funded. In fact, the reason Mr. Rehov decided to make two movies at the same time was that it was more economical. Since he…
A hideously ironic editorial
January 15, 2015
After losing eleven of their staff to murderous terrorists pushing a totalitarian ideology, Charlie Hebdo has published a hideously ironic editorial pushing a totalitarian ideology. Written by Editor-in-Chief Gérard Biard, “Will There Continue to be, ‘Yes, but’” shows that the survivors of the attack haven’t learned a thing. For a week now, Charlie, an atheist…
The best soldiers of World War I were Muslim
January 14, 2015
Since we’re talking about France and Muslims, and since we’re now in the centennial of World War I, here’s a post on the best troops of that conflict. Without question, the most skilled, feared, and successful units of both sides were Muslim. First, the Central Powers—Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria. The Bosnian regiments…
It’ll end badly
January 13, 2015
I was born in Venezuela. For the first four years of my life, my closest relationship was with a woman named Delia. She was technically our maid, but in reality she was my surrogate mother. I grew up speaking English and Spanish interchangeably. Although we lived in oil camps, we interacted with Venezuelans daily. Believe…
