Latest ArticlesIsraelis will fight Hamas on their own if they mustMarch 27, 2024 • The Washington Times "Israel Alone" is the headline on the cover of the March 23rd issue of The Economist, a British weekly. The illustration shows an Israeli flag buffeted by a sandstorm. I wonder if Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader in Gaza, is sitting in a tunnel under Rafah gazing at that image, and if it's brought a smile to his lips. Perhaps, when he was planning the Oct. 7 invasion of Israel, one of his deputies advised that their fighters target only soldiers and spare Israeli civilians, at least children and babies; that they not rape women and mutilate corpses; that they conduct themselves, in short, as honorable warriors rather than barbarians.
Attack TikTok, cut its Chinese Communist Party tiesMarch 20, 2024 • The Washington Times Starting in the 1920s, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union pioneered the art of dezinformatsiya. A hundred years later, the Communist Party of China has developed disinformation into a high-tech science. You probably know how the Kremlin did propaganda: Thousands of KGB operatives would feed false information to journalists in dozens of countries to advance Moscow's goals. Increasing anti-Americanism and anti-Israelism were high on the list. Some of those journalists were fellow travelers. Others were what the Soviets called "useful idiots."
State of the world more threatening than Biden understandsMarch 13, 2024 • The Washington Times The U.S. Constitution mandates that the president "shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the State of the Union." The information that President Biden conveyed last week failed to convey the hard fact that the Union is now seriously threatened by an axis of anti-American regimes. Mr. Biden began his State of the Union promisingly enough. He called attention to Russia's brutal war of conquest against Ukraine.
Jordan's Queen Rania Al Abdullah misses an opportunityMarch 6, 2024 • The Washington Times For a quarter of a century, Rania Al Abdullah has been the Queen of Jordan, and, in many ways, a model royal she has been. She's advocated "for tolerance, compassion, and promoting empathy between people of all cultures and backgrounds" (according to her website). Beautiful and elegant, she's won more awards than you can shake a scepter at, including Glamour's Woman of the Year, and the Foreign Press Association's Humanitarian Award. She's written children's books including "The Sandwich Swap" in which best friends Lily and Salma argue over peanut butter and hummus. In the end, they "come together in the true spirit of tolerance and acceptance."
Defeating Putin in Ukraine should be goal of liberals and conservatives alikeFebruary 28, 2024 • The Washington Times Last Friday, President Biden announced new sanctions targeting 500 Russian officials and companies. His aim was to deliver the "devastating" consequences that, three years ago, he vowed Russia's ruler, Vladimir Putin, would face if Russia's most prominent opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, were to die in a Siberian penal colony – as he did, on Feb. 16th at the age of 47. "Make no mistake, Putin is responsible for Navalny's death," Mr. Biden said. "Putin is responsible." The sanctions also are intended to hobble Russia's economy as Mr. Putin's war to conquer Ukraine enters its third year. |
