Europe is not doing the people of Palestine any favors with weak compromises
The European Union has sent a very troubling signal to Iran, Israel, America and the war ravaged people of Gaza. That message is that it may prove difficult and too time consuming to stay focused on agreement of principles between Western powers. Israel’s thrashing of Hamas will prove little if certain Western powers accept and approve Hamas as a legitimate player in Gaza. I’m sure the Iranian government and Hamas approve and appreciate friends like the EU. One government that isn’t amused to be sure is the American government. Javier Solana’s remarks contradict what the Obama administration, and the Bush administration before him, laid out for Hamas to accept. Continue reading
International aid to Palestinians proves to support terror and violence, not relief and recovery.
The practice of pouring vast amounts of money into Palestine only works to finance and supports violence, radical Islam, terror and poverty in Gaza. Palestine has developed into an international welfare state perfectly suited for Hamas and the PA to continue terrorist operations against Israel and internal violence against their own opposition. As the linked article suggest, there is a direct connection with the fact that the Palestinians now receive more assistance, per capita, than any other place on Earth, while living in one of the most violent spaces in it. Despite the effusion of foreign aid, Palestinian productivity has declined and has increased suffering and hardship of the Palestinian people. Hamas is largely to blame by remaining overly hostile to Israel (Gaza’s largest trading partner) and launching rockets and provoking devastating responses that only further cripples the fragile society.

Iraq religious based parties are in decline as people look for unity over sectarianism

President Obama closing Gitmo; where do the terrorist go?
The new President wasted little time in one of his first acts in office which was the decision to halt Gitmo operations and sent a signal that this could be the first step towards closing the prison. But, the one big question remains…where do we send the two hundred plus terrorist? These prisoners are unlawful enemy combatants and “the worst of the worst” who have sought the death of Americans, including Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, one of the masterminds of 9/11. We now know of at least 60 cases where some of these prisoners have been returned to their homeland only to later be killed or captured while trying attack American and coalitions forces again.
