The danger of calling everything a war crime

For years “human rights” groups, aid organizations, other NGOs, and the United Nations have dishonestly claimed that almost every Israeli military action is a war crime. Beginning March 26, 2015, the Saudi-led Coalition fighting to defeat Ansar Allah—the Houthis—in Yemen has also been accused of war crimes. There’s absolutely no evidence that the Coalition is…

Everyone in the Middle East who cherishes freedom and peace should celebrate September 29, 2015. Today Saudi Arabia made clear that the next phase of reformation and stabilization has begun. Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad must leave office or face being turfed out by force, Saudi foreign minister Adel Al-Jubeir says. Mr Jubeir rejected Russian calls…

The war is saving Yemeni lives

Yesterday I wrote a post titled “In Yemen No Evidence is Required.” It’s about how the press and NGOs slander the Saudi-led Coalition fighting Ansar Allah, the Iranian-backed Shi’ite terrorist group also called the Houthis. One such dishonest NGO is Action on Armed Violence (AOAV), which issued the entirely fraudulent report State of Crisis: Explosive…

In Yemen no evidence is required

In Yemen, Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) serve as propaganda arms of Ansar Allah, the radical Shi’ite terrorists known as the Houthis. Both NGOs have put out entirely fact-free indictments of the Saudi-led Coalition fighting to take control of Yemen from the Iran-backed Houthis. There’s simply no evidence for the…

Can we stop lying about everything?

I’m not political. Not in the slightest. But I hate liars. So even though I’m not a conservative or a liberal, I’m going to debunk this ridiculous piece of garbage that someone sent me. The sender has only himself to blame. I want everyone to stop lying. If that means I gore your ox, too…

About those Russians fighting in Syria

Last night I wrote about what I think Russia will do in the Middle East in response to an Israeli and Arab League attack on Iran. In the process of researching the post, I found a video of Russians fighting in Syria. It’s very illuminating. Here’s the video. At 0:40 you see a Russian BTR-82A…

Russia and the Middle East

God bless anyone who tries to make peace in the Middle East. I myself don’t have the patience. Too many Middle Easterners are so addicted to fear and discord that they react with hostility to good news. It’s the danger of tradition and campfire tales. The current flurry of Russian activity in Syria is causing…

Old Man

I’m not yet able to write the sort of post I want. There’s a lot information about Israel and Russia that needs to be disseminated, but I’m not up to it. Also, a huge Middle Eastern media outlet is expressing interest in my posts about Yemen. I spoke to the reporter, and he said that…

Twisted

I’ve had a flu relapse. As my Dutch friend said, I have the “fluw,” which I pronounce—Netherlands style—as fluhv. That’s just how I feel. Fluhv. Physically and emotionally, I can’t muster the energy to post, so here’s one my favorite songs by one of my favorite singers, “Twisted” by Stan Ridgway. Today I came to…

No reservoir of goodwill

I have the flu, so tonight’s post will be short. It’s about how the concept of creating a reservoir of goodwill no longer exists. When I was a young man, the way things worked was that you met people, interacted with them, and collected all the good experiences you had with them. If one day…
