Women’s Rights, Saudi Style

From the Arab News:
Police are searching for a 28-year-old woman who ran away from a Social Affairs-run women’s shelter in Jeddah on Friday.Col. Misfar Al-Juaid, spokesman for Jeddah police, said the woman ran away while the police were preparing to take her to jail in line with a court order. He further urged the young [...]

HRW Report on IDF – One-Sided and Deceptive

I just looked a little at the Human Rights Watch report on Israeli drones killing civilians in Gaza.
The report was mainly written by Marc Garlasco, who had famously blamed Israel for the very ambiguous Gaza beach blast in 2006 and whose credentials as an expert are equally ambiguous.
I didn’t have time to look at the [...]

Moving The Red Lines

Binyomin Netanyahu has, apparently accidentally, stumbled upon one of the best political weapons Israel has. And even he doesn’t realize it.
When he took office, the Western press started obsessing over his non-use of the words “two state solution.” The world made the assumption – despite “Ultra-Rightist Avigdor Lieberman’s”‘ acceptance of the Roadmap – that Netanyahu [...]

Preliminary Report On PCHR’s Fake “Civilians”

Preliminary results of PCHR Gaza casualty analysis
In March, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights widely released a report detailing the people who were killed in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead. This report was a seemingly comprehensive list of the details about every death: the name, gender, age, location, and job of each person is detailed. [...]

He added: “We have our principles, and whoever abides by them will not constitute a problem for us.”
According to Assad, “From the war of Palestine (in 1948) [...]

Why Arabs Cannot Understand Purim

What does Purim celebrate?
Wikipedia says “Purim is a festival that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people of the ancient Persian Empire from Haman’s plot to annihilate them.”
Judaism 101: “It commemorates a time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from extermination. ”
Jewish Virtual Library: “It commemorates a time when the Jewish people [...]

Latest Zionist Plot Against “Al Aqsa”

Just about every day the Palestinian Arabic press mentions another Jewish plot against the Al Aqsa Mosque. Either the Jews are planning to build a synagogue there, or they are building a tunnel underneath, or they are installing cameras nearby, but either way they know that the goal is the same – to destroy the [...]

Richard Falk Lies Again

The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights, Richard Falk, who has repeatedly compared Israeli actions in Gaza to Nazi Germany, has been saying that Hamas has repeatedly offered a truce extension to Israel that Israel spurned. His latest claim was made at a symposium at UCLA on “Human Rights and Gaza” (that curiously completely [...]

Gaza Newspaper “Finds” the Missing “IDF Fatalities”

Hamas and the other terror gangs have been claiming that they killed scores of IDF soldiers; the latest number I saw was 48 although I have seen higher claims as well.
The problem, of course, is how can an open society cover up so many deaths? How could Israel cover up the funerals and the publicity [...]
