Protester Dies: When Is a Dictator Not a Dictator? Never The recent Hamas-Israel confrontation ended abruptly when U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced last Wednesday, November 21, a ceasefire that essentially put the relatively new, largely unknown Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi in the role of peacekeeper for Israel and Gaza. “Egypt’s new government is […]

Rice Concedes Error on Libya; G.O.P. Digs In By MARK LANDLER and JEREMY W. PETERS

WASHINGTON — Susan E. Rice may have hoped that paying a conciliatory call on three hostile Senate Republicans on Tuesday would smooth over a festering dispute about the deadly attack on the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, and clear a roadblock to her nomination as secretary of state.But the senators seemed anything but mollified, signaling instead that they would still oppose Ms. Rice, the ambassador to the United Nations, if she is nominated by President Obama, even after she conceded errors in the account of the assault she gave on Sunday morning television programs shortly after it occurred in September.

Two of the Republicans, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, said they would seek to block Ms. Rice, who according to administration officials remains Mr. Obama’s preferred choice to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. The third Republican, Senator John McCain of Arizona, said on Fox that he would be “very hard-pressed” to support Ms. Rice.

“Bottom line, I’m more disturbed than I was before,” Mr. Graham said after the tense, closed-door meeting.

The continued criticism of Ms. Rice, 48, a diplomat with close ties to Mr. Obama, deepens an already bitter and unusually personal feud between the White House and Republicans over Libya. Responding to a question about criticism of Ms. Rice at a news conference two weeks ago, Mr. Obama said, “If Senator McCain and Senator Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me.”

Israeli Mother Vanquishes Knife-Wielding Terrorist Scum By Naomi Ragen Mustread

When Yael Ram-Matzpon * heard the door open at 3:30 a.m., she thought it
was her husband returning from his job in the IDF. But when the door flung
open and the light flicked on, she found herself face to face with a
knife-wielding Palestinian terrorist from Gaza. Lying next to her in bed
was her four and half year- old daughter and two year- old son. In a room
close by, her eight and nine year old daughters lay sleeping.

“‘What do you want, I asked him. Money, food?’ I got up. He told me to get
down on the floor. I knew I wasn’t doing that.”

And so began a fight to the death between an unarmed 39 year- old mother of
four and an armed terrorist in Sde Avraham, a neighborhood in southern
Israel’s Eshkol region near Gaza; a mother who knew that only she stood
between him and the slaughter of her innocent children. “He pushed me down
and started to slash me,” she told Israel’s evening news. “And I thought:
‘Now I’m going to feel what it’s like to be slashed, just like you see on
television.'” As she speaks, we notice the long scar on her cheekbone, the
tear in her skin under her eye and on her chin, evidence of the deadly
weapon which sought to take away her life and the lives of her children.

The Indignation Industry by Martin J. Day

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3470/muslim-indignation-australia We cannot, and must not, stand for a religion that will limit our ability to speak, especially a religion that openly calls for the murder of people of other religions, and often even its own. The Sydney police force announced a few weeks ago that, in anticipation of more hostile Islamic street protests similar […]
