US should use French ruling to combat UN Israel bias
A recent ruling in France shows that Palestinian abuse of "international law" against israel does not always work. The Trump administration should heed this in battling United Nations bias against Israel

Trump must understand vicious Palestinian politics
The power struggles in Palestinian politics make the contest between Presidential candidates in American politics look likely a friendly game of chess, and that's just among the "moderates" who include Holocaust deniers, and former stooges of the KGB. The incoming Trump administration must wise up to this and avoid Obama's blindness

A lesson in denial, confusion: Honouring Yasser Arafat
The Arafat Museum has just opened in Ramallah. It is a testament to Palestinian denial about everyhing from Arafat's birthplace, the billions of dollars he stole, and his responsibility for violence and terror. It hardly shows Palestinian seriousness about forging peace with Israel

Murderous religious intolerance in the Middle East
Across the Middle East there is terrible repression of religious and ethno-religious groups. Christians and Jews are especially at risk. Israel, meanwhile, is a beacon of religious tolerance, not that you'd know it from the Western media

Palestinian deformative years
Teach kids colours, numbers and their ABCs and they’ll embrace life and adulthood. Teach killing, nihilism and AK-47s and they’ll embrace death and the afterlife. Palestinian children are brainwashed right from the start. Rejectionism and the cult of death are at the core of their culture

Are the Palestinians starting a religious war?
It is a constant and continuing disgrace that Palestinians, official leaders as well as parents, celebrate and express joy over children who have died after committing terrorist acts as martyrs and heroes. Peace is therefore further away than ever

Palestinian terror. A new chapter, or same old story?
Mahmoud Abbas is a man who speaks out of both sides of his mouth when it comes to terrorism. His venomous and hate filled tirades against Israel have encouraged Palestinians to become ‘martyrs’ in the cause of holy war. Meanwhile, the West refuses to face reality

EU's astonishing free pass for Palestinian terrorism
The European Union is prone to living in a fantasy world. But its latest pronouncement effectively whitewashing Palestinian terrorism and simultaneously demonising Israel marks yet another, astonishing, low point

Latest Palestinian ruse? They'll do anything except make peace
The latest pathetic, and tragically boring, effort by the Palestinians to abuse the International Criminal Court against Israel just shows how doggedly opposed they are to real peace. Only Western bigots and enemies of peace could support it

Put your (Palestinian) dreams away for another day
The dreams of anti-Israeli British clerics like the Rev. Giles Fraser would not have puzzled Freud. It would be far better for fanatical critics of Israel to remember that wishing on a false narrative never gets you far, and that it is time for them to make a new start

No International Amnesty for the Palestinians
Amnesty International does not have a good track record in a fair and reasoned approach to Israel. So its recent report lambasting Palestinian attempts to slaughter Israeli civilians marks a surprising change. Could this be a new start, or will Obama and the EU just ignore inconvenient truths?

We should make life harder for Palestinian leadership
While the Palestinians continue to both glorify terrorism and make negotiations impossible by their antics at outfits like the International Criminal Court, the West should be imposing travel bans and tax freezes on the Palestinians of their own. It shouldn't be solely left to Israel to make life tougher for the duplicitous Palestinian leadership

Palestinian leadership glorifies Saddam Hussein
Most of the world is just glad that Saddam Hussein isn't around to slaughter people any more. But the Palestinian leadership is on a campaign of his glorification, raising concerns that should they ever get a state, it won't be a model of democracy

Shame of Palestinian leader at Charlie Hebdo demo
Nothing shows the West's lack of seriousness about terrorism more than the shameful presence of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas at the mass demo in Paris. If the Charlie Hebdo massacre had taken place in Israel, Abbas would have named a square after the killers

Palestine's culture of hate is at root of the conflict
The horrific glorification of the Israel synagogue killers reminds us there is no real-world path to peace until the hatred is expunged from Palestinian culture. It has been there from the start, and there will be no end to this conflict until it is gone
