Winning wars requires that we fight like the Arab League

Western powers don’t accept that journalism has transformed itself into advocacy for decay. The old dictum “If it bleeds, it leads” was meant to sell copies of newspapers, attract eyeballs to screens, and bewitch ears with radio stations. Now, journalists are opponents of progress. Rather than report, they choose to be propagandists for malefactors. It’s…

Credibility squandered can never be regained

When I began defending Israel in June of 2014, I was shocked at the blatant lies told by Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the United Nations. Well, the lies told about Saudi Arabia are worse. The difference is that the Saudis are willing to use ruthless judo…

World, you’re very lucky that I have no power

There’s no question that those putting their lives on the line to fight Islamic terrorism are better people than me. They don’t retaliate when lied about and unfairly criticized. All I can say is that the world should be grateful that I’m just a blogger and not a president, prime minister, king, or high-ranking military…

Fantasizing belongs in the bedroom, not the newsroom

Today I spent several hours trying to find even one news report about the war in Yemen that didn’t slam the Saudi-led Coalition for its “complete disregard for civilian life” and its “indiscriminate air strikes.” Those are lies. Reporters are fantasizing this alleged ongoing series of war crimes. As of today, the fake civilian death…

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…

Saudi Arabia announces the next phase

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…

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…

It’s all right to be suspicious

A lot of people are suspicious that the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen might turn against Israel. I don’t think that will happen. Before I explain why, let me say that I’m not critical of people who don’t trust the Coalition. When I began defending Israel in June of 2014, I was assaulted…

Why the Coalition will win in Yemen

Here’s a report from the Marib Front in Yemen. I tried to translate it from Arabic, but I couldn’t. Hopefully a speaker of Arabic will translate it for me, and I’ll update this post. Journalist Yaheya Swaree says that the Coalition ground forces have surrounded the Houthis on three sides at Marib. On August 3,…

“I’m no expert, but you’re wrong.”

Last summer, about 98.9 percent of the world’s Jew-haters contacted me to tell me that I was wrong about everything I posted on Israeli military actions. My posts were based on my knowledge of munitions, which I’ve studied for more than forty years. Actually, it’s getting closer to fifty years, since I started when I…
