By Mark Noonan at 12:49 AM

Not exactly the most popular speaker...Matt has details over at GOP Bloggers. And, as a contrast, Joe Lieberman at AIPAC: There is something profoundly wrong when opposition to the war in Iraq seems to inspire greater passion than opposition to Islamist extremism.

By Mark Noonan at 09:34 AM

A fascinating reader e mail over at NRO's The Corner which must be quoted at length: I'm reading Carter's book right now. I'm shocked by how Christian it is. A running theme is that not only are the Muslims being oppressed by the Jews, but so are the Christians...Carter's book,...

Dean Bashes Bush on Defense, Israel

By Matt Margolis at 09:49 AM

Nothing is funnier than a Democrat bashing President Bush or the Republican Party by claiming they are weak on defense. But Howard Dean took an extra step and bashed Bush for being "absent in the escalating violence between Israel and Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon." Dean clearly isn't paying much attention,...

An excellent point made by Barry Rubin: HERE ARE the basic points for understanding Palestinian politics: There are hardly any moderate Palestinians in public life and even those few generally keep their mouths shut, or echo the militant majority. With few exceptions - countable on your fingers - a Palestinian...

Palestinians Getting Sensible?

By Mark Noonan at 09:14 AM

I found this to be quite interesting: RAMALLAH, West Bank - In a bold initiative, the Palestinian president gave Hamas 10 days to accept the idea of a Palestinian state alongside Israel, saying Thursday he'll submit the plan to a referendum by mid-July if the Islamic militants refuse. Mahmoud Abbas'...

Israel Lays its Life on the Line

By Mark Noonan at 05:16 AM

You can't get more generous than this: JERUSALEM (AP) - Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert declared victory for his centrist Kadima party in Israel's elections Tuesday, vowing to act on his own if necessary to draw Israel's final borders and "painfully" uproot Jewish settlers if negotiations with the Palestinians are...

The Victory of Hamas

By Mark Noonan at 02:37 AM

It wasn't really a stunner - those of us who have been paying attention know of the corruption, the cruelty and the brutality of Fatah rule. It has mellowed a little bit since the thug Arafat died, but Fatah is still a mafia-like collection of crooks and psychopaths. Hamas had...

By Mark Noonan at 10:37 AM

The eurphoria over the imminent election of PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen...why does a peacemaker need a nom de guerre?) always seemed odd.

Democrats Losing Grip on Jewish Vote
