Anthony Fauci made science friction

Covid Tsars the world over outdid him in pillage and mega rupture, proving that a pandemic has no peer for propagating greed and megalomania. Opinion.

The International Courts are sitting ducks

Marco Rubio gunning for the ICC could take an object lesson from Trump’s learning curve. The longer he sought to make Tehran’s Mullahs and Mafiosi respect his MOM (Memorandum of Misunderstanding) the more he realised they were “scum" “liars" and “sick." Op-ed.

Trump Derangement

To what extent was Israel stopped, and how, from absolutely winning that brutal urban and subterranean war in Gaza? And what lifetime lessons could Trump take from it? Opinion.

Belgium law invents a tame excuse for tampering with a miraculous ritual. Opinion.

The Progressive Passover

Passover teaches freedom, but some progressive prophets insist it’s just another homework assignment in lecturing the Israelis. Opinion.

Trump's unfinished business

The Biblical roots of today's Israel boycotting

Two Music Festivals, one lesson about antisemitism

Tucker Carlson does not fit the bill. Opinion.

Resorting to peace talks after Trump’s bombing ultimatum was ludicrous

The Progressive Passover

All the Palestinian Arabs had to do in Gaza after 2005's Disengagement was make unto themselves a nation. You’d think Moses the Progressive Jew would be happy. Think again.
