The Next Israel-Lebanon War

כ״א באלול ה׳תש״ע (Tuesday 31 August 2010)

When I wrote recently about the upcoming Israel-Iran War, I predicted that “Israel will provoke a war with Hezballah in 2010 to defeat them and to deplete their arsenal in the context of a conventional war.” Now I see Haaretz is agreeing that Israel might be planning to attack Hezballah preemptively.

America’s Racial Orthodoxy

כ״ח בטבת ה׳תש״ע (Thursday 14 January 2010)

America is a ridiculously weird place because Americans, as most of the world knows, are obsessed with race and yet, at the same time, it is absolutely forbidden for Americans to have any opinion about race, with the possible exception of one: There Is Too Much Racism. Progressives do not even have to enforce this [...]
