I’ve always been a sky-watcher. As a child I wanted to fly to the clouds and walk among them. What you need to know is that the sky is filled with armies. The imagery comes from the poet Stephen Crane, an artist whose work saved my life. Once a man clambering to the housetops Appealed…
Israel confirms: Death to the mullahs
October 1, 2015
Today Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to the United Nations General Assembly. He made his intentions crystal clear: death to the mullahs. I don’t understand why everybody keeps pretending that the UN is anything except a giant mental asylum. Here’s part of Netanyahu’s speech. Last month, [Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah] Khamenei once again made…
The war is saving Yemeni lives
September 28, 2015
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…
Even the wolves are sheep
September 19, 2015
Almost everybody is really ordinary, now more than ever. In this Golden Age of Mediocrity, even the wolves are sheep. You see it everywhere.

In those cities, people held out against tens of thousands of besiegers: Houthis, soldiers loyal to former dictator…
It’s all right to be suspicious
September 16, 2015
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
September 15, 2015
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,…
