Mitt Romney doesn't want the press around when he meets with his biggest donors in Jerusalem. JERUSALEM — Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, who touched down here Saturday night for a day of meetings with top Israeli and Palestinian leaders, plans to wrap up his visit to Israel by collecting ...

We haven't had one of these posts in a while, not because the hate mail has dried up, but because it's usually so unimaginative and dull. But here's one that pretty much lays bare the deranged bigotry of the anti-Muslim crowd, in a few quick sentences dripping with vitriol. Tonight's bigot ...

Kudos to Gov. Bill Haslam and his administration for not caving to the bigot brigades. Sadly, the Governor will probably now be labeled a RINO and accused of being connected (or at least sympathetic) to the Muslim Brotherhood. Added emphasis mine. Samar AliTea party and anti-Muslim activists are taking aim ...

Rick Perry just said the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is "a minor issue." On that note, we launch our second thread on this pathetic debacle.

MEGA DERPHere's dim Jim Hoft, hilariously stupid and obsessed as always, with what may be the dumbest thing he's ever posted (and there's a lot of competition for that dubious prize): Swedish Paper: Obama Photoshopped into Famous Situation Room Photo. Hoft, with his unerring instinct for brain-dead conspiracy theories, has discovered ...

Here's a good piece by Michelle Goldberg on the relentless attempt by the right wing hate machine to smear Occupy Wall Street as "antisemitic:" Occupy Wall Street Isn't Anti-Semitic, But It's Too Leaderless. One of the curses of left-wing politics is the perennial presence of International ANSWER, a front group ...

As we wait for the latest outbreak of GOTP debating, I'd just like to say that it's pretty cool how all the right wing blogs are expressing gratitude to President Obama for standing by Israel and forcing Mahmoud Abbas to abandon the Palestinian statehood bid, then walking out on Ahmadinejad's ...

Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 10:32:21 am
The Obama administration has promised to veto the Palestinian bid for statehood in the UN Security Council, but of course that doesn't stop the loons running for the GOP nomination from attacking him anyway, with the usual right wing nonsense that Obama has changed the US stance toward Israel (he ...

DERPThe densest right wing blogger on the web, Jim "Dim" Hoft, keeps finding new ways to excel at his chosen pastime of making a complete fool of himself in public. Today he live-hateblogged the President's address to AIPAC: OBAMA BOOED AT AIPAC (Video) | The Gateway Pundit They just introduced Barack ...

In three short paragraphs about President Obama's speech this morning, the Associated Press warps the story beyond recognition: Obama says Palestine must be based in 1967 borders. WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is endorsing the Palestinians' demand for their future state to be based on the borders that existed before ...

This is just what the Middle East needs right now: Glenn Beck Announces 'Restoring Courage' Event In Jerusalem, Says 'The Very Gates Of Hell Are Gonna Open Up Against Us'. Terrific. Beck's brand of high volume race-baiting and End Times paranoia ought to do wonders for the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Video

For the first time in many years a terrorist bomb has exploded in central Jerusalem, murdering one person and injuring at least 30. Interestingly, this was not a suicide bomber; someone apparently left a small bag on the sidewalk. Are Palestinian terror gangs running out of dupes willing to commit suicide ...

Palestinian terrorists infiltrated the Israeli West Bank settlement of Itamar late Friday night, and viciously stabbed to death a family of five in their beds -- including a three-month old baby. In response to this monstrous attack, Israel today approved the construction of hundreds of new housing units in several West ...

Last year Pamela Geller injected herself into the case of Rifqa Bary, a teenage runaway and Christian convert who claimed her Muslim parents were planning to kill her. (The Florida Department of Law Enforcement subsequently investigated these claims and found “no evidence whatsoever of alleged abuse or threats of death ...

Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas met today at the State Department, shook hands, and managed to agree on something: to have some more talks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will meet again on Sept. 14 and 15 in the Middle East, likely at the Egyptian ...

Apparently we're on the brink of peace in the Middle East: U.S. officials: Abbas announcement imminent, details not yet finalized. Excuse me if I don't break out the champagne just yet. U.S. officials told Jewish community leaders on a private conference call this afternoon that they believe Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud ...

President Obama has reportedly sent a letter to PLO leader Mahmoud Abbas, warning Abbas that unless he resumes direct peace talks with Israel, he risks losing US support for a Palestinian state.

During the Gaza flotilla incident, there was a deluge of propaganda from pro-Palestinian sources claiming that Israel’s blockade was causing poverty and starvation in Gaza. But here’s an article and photo essay from noted pro-Israel shill the New York Times (ahem) with a perspective that might surprise you: Gaza, Through ...

Turkish journalist Adem Ozkose was aboard the Mavi Marmara when it was boarded by the IDF, and he is the person credited with the photos that were misleadingly cropped by someone unknown. (And Reuters has ignored requests for more information and accountability, by the way, which means you can expect ...

Here we go again. The IHH website which was apparently supplying Reuters with their photos (which someone at Reuters then cropped to remove incriminating evidence of weapons) has now removed all photos from their site, possibly to prevent finding any more cropped images. But Reuters continues to publish photos from the ...

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 ...

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 ...

The #2 man in the Obama administration issued a pretty solid defense of Israel today, as the rest of the world continued freaking out: Biden solidifies defense of Israel: ‘What’s the big deal here?’ “I think Israel has an absolute right to deal with its security interest. I put all ...

Apparently, Hamas is having trouble getting Barack Obama to return their calls. Gaza City - Ismail Haniya, the head of the Islamist Hamas government in the Gaza Strip, has written twice to US President Barack Obama but has not received a reply, a Hamas spokesperson said on Sunday. Taher al-Nunu said ...

During the 2008 Presidential election one of my main concerns about Barack Obama was that he would take a soft line toward the Hamas terrorist gang. And there were reasons to be concerned; to name just a couple, Obama was closely acquainted with several well-known Palestinian advocates in the US, ...
