Rubicon: A river in Wisconsin
The magnificent turmoil now gripping statehouses in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and soon others marks an epic political moment. The nation faces a fiscal crisis of historic proportions and, remarkably, our muddled, gridlocked, allegedly broken politics have yielded singular clarity.
Wisconsin is the...
AYALON: The death of ‘linkage’
Palestinian issue was never the key to stability
By Danny Ayalon, The Washington Times
The last few weeks and months have finally proven the fallacy of one of the most mistaken theories about development and peace in the Middle East. For a number of years, foreign officials, experts and commentators have claimed that if the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was solved, then there would be peace in the Middle East. This was coined “linkage.”
J Street’s Troubles Began Even Before its National Conference Convenes
Could This Year be Its Swan Song?
by Ron Radosh, PAJAMAS MEDIA
Even before its national conference convenes on Saturday night (which I and other PJM folk will be covering and blogging about throughout the conference), J Street is facing opposition from Kadima, the Israeli centrist party headed by Tzipi Livni, because some of its members agreed to attend and speak at the event.
The West is planting the seeds of its own destruction
By Ted Belman
Long after the creation of Kosovo was a done deal made necessary by the “war crimes” of the Serbs, Felix Quigley, aided by Nathan Pearlstein and Robert Peter North, educated me and our readers for over a year and a half on the propaganda campaign throughout the world, that labelled the Serbs the bad guys and which lead to the bombing of Serbia by NATO..
As a result I came to believe that not only was there no Srebrenica Massacre but that the Serbs were simply defending against jihad and Clinton was at fault for siding with the Jihadists.
American Thinker had an article yesterday in which they describe the aftermath.
In addition, Europe’s problems have been worsened by American policies in the Balkans of the past 15 years. This is true in three...
PM Allows 300 Libyan Arabs to ‘Return’ to Judea, Samaria
Is he nuts? Who gave him the right? “temporary? Yeah right. T. Belman
by Maayana Miskin,
Due to the ongoing violence in Libya, 300 “Palestinian refugees” from the north African country will be allowed to seek refuge “temporarily” in Judea and Samaria. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who approved the move, said the 300 would be allowed in as a humanitarian gesture.
As far as is known, this will be the first time an Israeli leader has allowed foreign-born Arab “refugees” to live in PA-controlled regions.
Palestinian Authority officials have told Israel that the refugees are in mortal danger as long as they remain in Libya. The north African country has been wracked by violence in recent days as dictator Muammar Qaddafi battles demonstrators who are calling for an ouster similar to those in Tunisia and Egypt.
Qaddafi has vowed to “die as a martyr” rather than giving in to protesters’ demands.
The hundreds of Arabs who will enter Judea and Samaria...
Libyan Rebels Repel Qaddafi’s Forces Near Tripoli
By KAREEM FAHIM and DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK, NEW YORK TIMES
BENGHAZI, Libya — Rebels seeking to overturn the 40-year rule of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi repelled a concerted assault by his forces on Thursday on cities close to the capital, removing any doubt that Libya’s patchwork of protests had evolved into an increasingly well-armed revolutionary movement.
Merkel to Netanyahu: “How dare you”
Netanyahu said he was going to announce a new peace plan in two weeks. Meanwhile, Quartet tries new Israeli-Palestinian peace bid in which it proposed meetings with the two sides on all core issues blocking a peace settlement. That’s what an arbitrator does before he announces his decision. I am afraid that such meetings will lead to the Quartet announcing their own plan. And it won’t be friendly to Israel. T. Belman
A crisis erupted between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. During a telephone call this week, Merkel told Netanyahu that he had disappointed her and had done nothing to advance peace, sources told Haaretz.
Glenn Beck apologizes for comparing Reform Judaism to Islamic extremism
Fox news commentator Glenn Beck apologized on Thursday for comments that he made about the Reform movement of Judaism, which drew widespread criticism among American Jewish leaders.
On his February 22 radio show, Beck compared Reform Judaism to “radical Islam,” saying that both were more about ‘politics’ – changing what is outside of oneself – rather than about ‘religion’ – changing what is inside of oneself.

The ABA Defends Sharia Law
Laura: Why is the American Bar Association working to undermine the American legal system by siding with those pushing for sharia law? Shouldn’t they be in favor of upholding the American constitution?
Pamela Geller, American Thinker
The American Bar Association (ABA) has decided to undertake the fight for Sharia law. The ABA’s Executive Counsel “has organized a Task Force to review the legislation of 14 states — Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming – in which anti-Sharia legislation has been introduced.”
The goal of the ABA’s Task Force is to fight against these legislative initiatives by free people, and to develop “an informal set of ‘talking points’ that local opponents of these initiatives could use to make their case in each of these states.”
Here’s the relevant extract from the ABA’s International Policies 2010:...
