The Great “Peace Flotilla” Ambush How Israel fell into a trap, carefully set by its enemies
A short while ago, a “peace flotilla” of six ships set out to bring relief to the so-called “beleaguered” Gaza Strip and to break a naval blockade that Israel had imposed. Five of the ships peacefully obeyed the instructions of the Israeli military to unload their cargo in Ashdod, an Israeli port. There the cargo was examined. That which was, indeed, peaceful cargo, was promptly transferred to Gaza. The sixth vessel, the MAVI MARMARA, offered violent resistance to the Israeli commandos who had boarded the vessel. A melee ensued in which nine of the “peace lovers,” all Turks, offered violent armed resistance and were killed.

Israel: An Apartheid State? Is there any truth at all in this oft-repeated calumny?
Only a short time ago, many universities, goaded by left-wing professors and students and their substantial Muslim student bodies, “celebrated” Israel Apartheid Week in which divestiture from, boycott of and sanctions against Israel were demanded. Is there any truth, any justification at all in this odious characterization?

The Forgotten Refugees (II) Why does nobody care about the Jewish refugees from Arab lands?

  May 2010
Dear Friend of Israel, dear Friend of FLAME:

The last few weeks have been momentous ones for Israel and for Israel’s relationship with our country. During Vice President Biden’s recent visit to Israel, a mid-level officer of Israel’s Interior Ministry made an announcement that 1,600 housing units had been authorized to be built in the eastern part of Jerusalem, an area that the Palestinians insist would be a part of their future capital. Actual construction on those housing units is perhaps as much as two years away. Even though the timing of the announcement may have been somewhat awkward, the anger that it produced was totally out of proportion to any possible offense. The Administration labeled the event an “insult.” Secretary of State Clinton telephoned Prime Minister Netanyahu and gave him a “stern reproach.” When Mr. Netanyahu came for a visit at the White House, the President snubbed him in a most insulting way – as someone described it – as if he were a lower-level functionary of a banana republic, rather than the prime minister of one of the our country’s most important and most reliable allies.

It is almost as if somebody in the Administration looked for an opportunity to...
