  • More Nonsense

    Leave it to Hitchens to disregard the simplest and most reasonable solution to a problem and move on to an inherently racist illiogical one.

  • No Freedom of Speech Issue Present

    While speech might have been the behavior that made this non-national repugnant to the Canadian government, every government has an undeniable power to control access to its homeland. There is no free speech right to be admitted into a foreign nation. Free speech can only be guaranteed by any nation so far as its jurisdiction reaches. The free ...

  • Why use Willy Pete?

    Speaking here as a former US Marine Fire Support Coordination Officer. White phosphorus (commonly called Willy Pete) has two primary military purposes.

  • Stop picking just the negative anecdotes

    Yes, BIG NEWS FLASH!!! Jews aren't all perfect. I'm sick of being expected to be perfect, rich, super intelligent and, of course, submissive b/c I'm a Jew. I'm very flawed, barely middle class, of mediocre intelligence, and unlike my family before me who died in camps or at the hands of cossacks I refuse to be submissive and non-violent. And ...

  • Laughter in Gaza

    Shame on the writer for passing alaong notoriously bogus slanders. The UN has already admitted that it ''misread'' reports from the site when it erroneously charged that Israel had shelled the UN school. It now admits that its original field reports said that Israeli forces had fired shells at a site ''near the school'' from which militans were ...

    Anyone who is rebuilding his house from rubble (with Iranian donated money) cannot say he has won the war. Hamas lost - period.

  • Modifed option 3: moat + desalination

    If the main objection to a moat is groundwater contamination, why not (a) fill it with desalinated seawater and (b) use the ''moat'' as a reservoir to supply drinking water to the Gaza Strip. True, desalination is expensive, but Israel is now doing it for less than 53 cents per cubic meter and other middle east nations such as the UAE can lend ...
