The U.K. Israeli arms embargo: Hypocrisy defined

The Exception Clause and Hillary’s speech
There’s a principle that I call The Exception Clause. Essentially, you add the words “except for Jews” or “except for Israel” to the end of every rule, statement, etc. that the world lives by, or something that is expected of everyone.

A masterful assuaging
Last year those of us Jews who didn’t support President Obama in his bid to be elected president were subjected to ridicule. If we didn’t support him it was because we were prejudiced or misinformed. This mocking didn’t just come … Continue reading

Kemp: Israel safeguarded civilian rights in Gaza
Last week, I was surprised that both Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch issued reports claiming that Israel unjustifiably killed civilians during Operation Cast Lead. (See a related posts at Media Backspin and at CAMERA.) But of course, it was … Continue reading

About those “settlements”
In an op-ed that is fully supportive of the administration, What a Freeze Can’t Do, David Ignatius lets a little inconvenient truth slip out. That doesn’t mean any breakthroughs are imminent, however. The more the administration pressures Israel, the more … Continue reading
Netanyahu’s “new” demand
Howard Schneider reports in the Washington Post on Netanyahu’s Peace Stipulation (h/t Backspin) I suppose what’s disturbing about the article is its portrayal of Netanyahu’s demand as “new.” The documents accepted by Israeli leaders during breakthrough peace talks with the … Continue reading
