OK, come on now. I mean, really. One picture cropped to remove a knife might be explained as incompetence or a simple mistake. But now we have two pictures from the “peace activists” that were cropped by someone at Reuters to remove knives in the hands of the activists, as they attempted ...

The Jerusalem Post has a report that the next ship full of peace activists trying to run Israel’s blockade on Gaza, the Rachel Corrie, has been intercepted and “taken” by the Israeli navy. The website of the Malaysian NGO which is co-sponsoring the Rachel Corrie, reports that the ship was ...

Now the truth is coming out about the Mavi Marmara incident. Apparently, the first four Israeli marines who rappelled onto the ship were savagely beaten and overwhelmed. You can see this taking place in the video released by the IDF. And then, the “peace activists” dragged these four injured soldiers belowdecks and ...

This is the kind of thing Israel needs to do more of, because the raging hypocrisy of the world’s peace activists is very ripe for satire. [Video]

You know that cargo that was so vitally important to deliver to the Palestinian people of Gaza? So important that peace activists put together a flotilla of Turkish ships and tried to run a blockade to get it there as soon as possible, before anyone else suffered and died waiting ...

Evidently, a lot of people out there really think there was a huge need for the supplies being brought to Gaza by the Turkish “peace activist” flotilla. People have even posted comments at LGF complaining about the evil Israelis, whose blockade has been starving women and children to death. Except, in ...

Here’s a video taken by a security camera aboard the Mavi Marmara, showing the “peace activists” preparing to attack Israeli soldiers, putting on gas masks and passing out metal clubs, broken bottles, slingshots, and sharpened metal objects. [Video] UPDATE at 6/2/10 11:34:48 am: Another video taken on the ship shows the “peace activists” ...

An interesting report from Israel on the cargo carried by those “peace activists” — it was apparently haphazardly loaded, and not in shortage in Gaza. Twenty-four hours after the last ship of the Gaza aid flotilla entered the Ashdod Port under the watchful eye of the Israeli Navy, all of ...

The Obama administration is not joining the international chorus of condemnation against Israel: Official: US Will Stand with Israel. I’m told there won’t be any daylight between the US and Israel in the aftermath of the incident on the flotilla yesterday, which resulted in the deaths of 10 activists. Regardless of ...

The Israeli Navy boarded a flotilla headed toward Gaza yesterday, leading to a wild melee that ended in several deaths.

The religious fanatics who dominate the Texas State Board of Education are now debating their attempt to rewrite American history for the social studies curriculum, in one of the most appalling attempted fundamentalist power grabs I’ve ever seen. The Texas Freedom Network is liveblogging this travesty again, and they’ve posted a ...

Here’s Newt Gingrich racing for the bottom on Fox News, saying Obama should withdraw Elena Kagan’s nomination because she’s “anti-military,” then launching an attack on Harvard (where Kagan was dean of the law school), because they accept Saudi money. It’s unclear how this is supposed to be Kagan’s responsibility, but ...

What kind of religion is it that has so little respect for the lives of women that they won’t even allow abortions to save their lives? That’s exactly the situation with St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, where a long-time administrator has been demoted and possibly excommunicated for authorizing an abortion ...

Plagiarist Ben Domenech, inexplicably published by CBS News despite being forced to resign in disgrace from the Washington Post in 2006, promptly turns in a sleazy post smearing possible Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan — and the Obama administration pushes back, hard: White House complains about CBS News blog post ...

So, I turn on Fox News just to see what the Glenn Beck Comedy Hour’s topic for the day is, and here’s Beck ranting about the need for more religion in government, in front of two blackboards covered with pictures of the founding fathers — who are no doubt rotating ...

Hillary Clinton dialed down the diplomatic confrontation with Israel this morning, pledging that the US has “an unshakeable bond” with Israel, and dismissing suggestions that the relationship between the US and Israel was at its worst point in decades. “We have an absolute commitment to Israel’s security. We have a ...

During Vice President Biden’s visit, Israel’s right wing Interior Minister suddenly issued a statement that the Ministry had approved a plan for new settlement building in East Jerusalem.
