Israel Has the Moral Right

Yaron Brook of the Ayn Rand Institute writes: As to the rightful owners of particular pieces of property, Israel’s founders—like the homesteaders in the American West—earned ownership to the land by developing it. They arrived in a desolate, sparsely populated region and drained the swamps, irrigated the desert, grew crops and built cities. They worked unclaimed land or purchased it from the owners. They introduced industry, libraries, hospitals, art galleries, universities—and the concept of individual rights. Those Arabs who abandoned their land in order to join the military crusade against Israel forfeited all right to their property. And if there are any peaceful Arabs who were forcibly evicted from their property, they should be entitled to press their claims in the courts of Israel, which, unlike the Arab autocracies, has an independent, objective judiciary—a judiciary that recognizes the principle of property rights. http://aqurette.blog/T7Y0ps

Bring Them Home Now

I hate people who care about the Palestinians suffering in Gaza but refuse to acknowledge the Israeli hostages taken by Hamas. Bring them home, and there will be peace. It’s that simple. http://aqurette.blog/T7SZSy

Hamas Fires New Rockets against Tel Aviv

The terrorists want to show the world they are not defeated. Israel should rule out any idea of cease fire. http://aqurette.blog/T7Q8Cm

Richard Dawkins the Atheist—Not So Much

One thing that has always bothered me about the so-called new atheists is that they are always criticising Judaism based on what religion is to Christians. They always seem incapable to understand that religion is something completely different to Jews. Now, finally, Richard Dawkins, the most aggressive of the atheists, acknowledges that he is a cultural Christian. http://aqurette.blog/T7Pd6R

ICJ Orders Israel to Halt Rafah Operations

The International Court of Justice is unhappy about the fight against Hamas. It wants Israel to stop trying to rescue hostages and smoke out terrorists from Southern Gaza. “The Court finds it deeply troubling that many of these hostages remain in captivity and reiterates its call for their immediate and unconditional release,” it wrote, but the ruling was entirely targeted at Israel. As could be expected. http://aqurette.blog/T7MfPj

Eurovision Had 163 Million Viewers Despite Call for Boycott

“European Broadcasting Union reveals ratings for the song competition, which show its viewership remained high throughout the event despite attempts to boycott it due to Israel’s participation,” Ynetnews reports. Perhaps people—normal people—aren’t as anti-Semitic as the keffiyeh-wrapped protesters who run around with Palestinians flags. http://aqurette.blog/T7JkPY

Ireland Is a Cesspool of Anti-Semitism

Jim Treacher: Hamas butchers and rapes a bunch of innocent people, diligently documents it all on livestream video, and now the world is supposed to hand them a state? Please take that idea and stuff it up your bottom with a broom handle till your tonsils ache. Yes, terrorism pays off—when the victims are Jews. http://aqurette.blog/T7Gs06
