Israel at War: A Primer

Ralph Peters: DEAD Jews aren’t news, but killing terrorists outrages global activists.

PEBA (President Elect Barak Obama): “If somebody was sending rockets into my house where my two daughters sleep at night, I would do everything to stop that, and would expect Israel to do the same thing.”

Scott Johnson: Why bomb a university?…Islamic University, in other words, represents how thoroughly the institutions of the Gaza Strip, such as they are, from mosque to school to state, have been turned into instruments of terror with extermination as their object. It is the commonality of aims that places Hamas in service to Iran, a point which David Horovitz urges observers to keep in mind.

John Hinderaker: If you seriously believe that the Earth is threatened with destruction by global warming, then the current global economic slowdown is providential. Reduced economic activity equals less energy consumption equals less carbon emitted into the atmosphere. Environmentalists have been telling us we need to reduce our energy consumption, and live more modestly, for years. Now we’re doing it. So where’s the celebration of the world’s sharp turn Greenward?

Christopher Booker:…as the poles remain defiantly icebound and those polar bears fail to drown. All those hysterical predictions that we are seeing more droughts and hurricanes than ever before have infuriatingly failed to materialise.

Doug Giles: The economic times we are living in are rougher and scarier than Rosie just before getting bikini waxed.
