Palestinian Hudna Charades

Sat, Aug 2, 2003 at 3:23:41 pm PDT

Palestinian Child Abuse

Sat, Aug 2, 2003 at 2:05:11 pm PDT

Amazing. Even as they send their thugs in fancy suits to Washington to try to get money out of us, the scenes of corrupted children and bloodthirsty murals and masked terrorists continue to pour out of the Palestinian Authority. It’s as if the entire world has a huge blind spot ...

Dahlan Spits in Rice's Face

Fri, Aug 1, 2003 at 9:10:51 pm PDT

Muhammad Dahlan, the murderous thug in charge of Palestinian “Security Affairs,” says that he did not discuss dismantling the terror gangs with Condoleezza Rice, that he and his terrorist pals have no obligation to adhere to any timetable, and—to strip away all of the barely disguised diplomatic doublespeak—the US can ...

On Killing the King

Fri, Aug 1, 2003 at 5:28:59 pm PDT

With our entry earlier today on the Al-Ahram piece whining and seething about how awful it was that America killed the sons of Saddam Hussein and then (gasp!) showed the bodies publicly, the beginning of this great column from Charles Krauthammer is especially pertinent: On Killing the King.
