Reading Nicholas Burns speech is like entering the twilight zone. A handmaiden for Islamazis, he is delivering America into the claws of Islamic jihad. Worse still, he has a svengalian influence over Condhimmi. If you have trouble reading or understanding this, merely pretend it is 1942 and substitute Nazi Germany for Palestinian state. That should do it. Burns is just another State Dept Arab loving hack with, we now discover, a Palestinian-Arab in his family. Any wonder why and where his misguided sympathies are? The American Task Force on Palestine (ATFP) held its second annual gala Oct. 17 at the...

Republican 2008 White House front-runner Rudolph Giuliani warned Tuesday it was not in the interest of the United States to help create a Palestinian state that would "support terrorism." In an article in the journal Foreign Affairs, the former New York mayor also said too much emphasis had been placed on Israeli-Palestinian peace talks which he said just brought up the same issues "again and again." Giuliani renamed the US "war on terror" as "the Terrorists' War on US" in his hawkish article in the September/October issue of the magazine, and predicted a long battle against "radical Islamic fascism." In...

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The Bush administration has assured Arab states that Israel's unilateral withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank would not harm Palestinian demands for the return of refugees to their homes in what became the Jewish state. U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell and his aides have been briefing Arab leaders on the U.S. endorsement of the Israeli withdrawal plan. U.S. officials said Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's proposed withdrawal provides the Palestinians with a state as well as thousands of Israeli homes. "The Palestinians will take those settlements openly," U.S. Deputy Secretary of State...

How Little We Know By John Corry Published 4/4/2003 12:38:00 AM Say this about Richard Perle: He is not hobbled by inconsistencies, and he keeps his eye on the big picture. Perle, who stepped down recently as chairman of the Defense Policy Board after allegations he had a conflict of interest, although he will still remain on the board, is a longtime advocate of regime change in the Middle East: Iraq today, and Syria and Saudi Arabia tomorrow. The precise ways of doing this, however, have been unclear, and to Perle and his like-minded colleagues they seem to be irrelevant....

What part don't they understand? By Bennett M. Epstein June 30, 2002 Am I missing something here? What part of President Bush's speech on the preconditions for a Palestinian state don't the Europeans understand? Bush clearly said that a regime compromised by terror and corruption cannot be trusted to give birth to a state next to Israel, and therefore a new leadership, free of terrorism and corruption, is required before a Palestinian state can be recognized by the United States and before such a state should be recognized by the rest of the world. What part of that was ambiguous?...

Enough is Enough: An Open Letter to the President of the United States Rabbi Eliezer Waldman The responsibility for the well being of the State of Israel and the security of the Jews rests solely on the shoulders of the government of the State of Israel. Only they have the moral authority to decide how to defend the country and safeguard the destiny of the Jewish people. The Jewish people suffered enough when exiled 2000 years ago upon the destruction of the Second Temple. We were forced to wander from country to country where we were locked away into ghettos....

Reality bites. One could almost hear President Bush chewing the inside of his cheeks Thursday as he announced that he was dispatching Secretary of State Colin Powell to the Middle East, reversing his "hands off" policy--a policy that had clearly failed. Bush is proud, but he's a politician, too, and so he ended up yielding to one of the most powerful forces in politics: regression. Yes, regression, the statistical concept that explains why the policies of one president change so little from the policies of the previous president. Every White House starts out with a degree of contempt for its...
