One of the more intractable components of our foreign policy dating back to the Clinton years has been the obsession of creating a Palestinian state. The career egghead diplomats in the State Department believed that if we would only send billions in aid to the venerable leaders of the Palestinian Authority and grant them statehood, they would put down their terror toys and sing kumbaya. | Read More »
On today’s edition of Coffee and Markets, Brad Jackson and Allysen Efferson are joined by a Major in Israel’s IDF to discuss the challenges Israelis face with a war so close to home, an enemy that blends so easily into the background and the role of UAVs in modern warfare.

Yesterday’s vote by the UN to recognize a Palestinian country on parts of Israel’s sovereign territory should be the final straw to end this craziness that has consumed our foreign policy for 20 years. | Read More »
As we’ve chronicled here in great detail over the past year, House Republicans are no pikers when it comes to conservative legislation. This is especially true when examining the records of House appropriators. Yet, even those big government types have [begrudgingly] agreed to abide by the spending and policy decisions of the House-passed budget when considering the 12 appropriations bills during committee markups. As mediocre | Read More »
“The Palestinians are the global warming climate change of geopolitical conflict. They use deceptive parlance to advance their agenda.” Newt Gingrich hit it out of the park with his succinct assessment of the “Palestinian” cause. One of the most incorrigible fallacies pertaining to the Middle East is the notion that the Palestinians are entitled to a state of their own. This fallacy stems from the | Read More »
Not surprisingly, Obama doubled down on his message of moral equivalence between Israel and the so-called Palestinians in his UN General Assembly speech. Yes, he tossed out some politically motivated bromides about our deep friendship with Israel, but overall, he continued to view the two sides equally. Obama’s overarching theme was that peace in the Middle East is “so hard” to achieve. He asserted that there | Read More »
The video embedded above shows the jubilant celebrations taking place in Gaza, while we were attacked on September 11. No, it wasn’t just a few “extremists” who were celebrating; it was the average Joe Palestinian. Unfortunately, not only have we declined to treat them as an enemy, we have refused to cut off any foreign aid. Instead, the Bush and Obama administrations have diverted our | Read More »

As may have been expected, President Obama’s decision yesterday to become the first American president to directly and overtly declare that Israel must withdraw to its 1949 borders was met with negative reactions both at home and abroad – particularly within the state of Israel, over 300,000 of whose residents currently live in the territories Obama demanded that the Jewish state cede to a future | Read More »
I hate to break the news to you, but until Jesus Christ himself returns there will be no peace in the Middle East. Not. Gonna. Happen. American foreign policy should be premised on strongly defending Israel and dealing with as friends those states who remain at peace with Israel. I realize the American media does a very poor job of it, but as Jeff Emanuel | Read More »
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been duping leftists in Western governments for years into thinking he is Mr. Peace. During the past decade, successive governments in the U.S. and Europe have been genuflecting to Abbas and his Fatah terrorist organization. They have showered the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority with more foreign aid per capita than even any legitimate country. The implicit purpose was to strengthen | Read More »
As the budget battle rages on and as we continue to fund domestic baby-killers, do we have to fund foreign ones as well?! For years, the left wing foreign policy establishment has rapturously promoted the ‘Palestinians’ as the cause célèbre of our national security interests. Despite their unyielding commitment to terror, these supercilious ‘wizards of smart’ have credulously identified the creation of a ‘Palestinian’ state | Read More »
