THE IDEOLOGICAL ORIGINS OF GENOCIDE - December 22, 2004

"In January 1849, months before he migrated to London, Karl Marx published an article by Friedrich Engels in Die Neue Rheinische Zeitung announcing that in Central Europe only Germans, Hungarians and Poles counted as bearers of progress. The rest must go. "The chief mission of all other races and peoples, large and small, is to perish in the revolutionary holocaust." Genocide arose out

Reminder - December 21, 2004

Readers of this site are reminded that the IsraPundit "chapter" on Blogger is our auxiliary site. Our main site is located at IsraPundit.com Underscoring this is particularly important in view of the fact that Jewish Press referred to IsraPundit, but provided the URL of the Blogger, or auxiliary, site.

Cricket in Israel - December 21, 2004

For non-American readers, there is a great article here about cricket in Israel. Once again, it is the Indian influence. Many Indian Jews are now in Israel. And you can't separate Indians from their cricket. Because of India, cricket has a FAR bigger following than baseball. Cricket is the world's premier bat-and-ball sport, in fact. Some of the Indian allusions in the article may be

The real history of Fascism - December 20, 2004

I often point out how much in common Nazism and Fascism had with Leninism and other forms of Leftism. Readers may therefore be interested to read another author's account of the history involved. For those with a high-speed connection, the original PDF is here and there are html copies here and here.

European doubts; Iranian vote of confidence - December 19, 2004

There is a rather amusing article here reporting that the Europeans are finally getting ants in their pants about all the Muslim immigrants in their midst. The wisdom of "Cowboy" GWB's war on militant Islam might soon start to get through to them. How embarrassing that will be! Amazing: Some Iranians are trying to convert to Judaism both as an expression of distaste for the Islam of

Good Arabs and bad Leftists - December 17, 2004

Lots of young educated Arabs LIKE George Bush! "The same ideas came up again and again: he is a strong leader, an honest man, and, most of all, a believer. Like the winning margin of American voters this year, these Middle Easterners related to Bush's sense of religious conviction and his confident steering of a nation and culture they admired... In addition, some of the most articulate

Muslim violence in India and Indonesia - December 16, 2004

There is an interesting contrast here between the way two poor countries -- India and Indonesia -- deal with Muslim violence. The terrorists mostly get a free pass in Indonesia but India prosecutes energetically. The British origins of India's legal system seem to have a lot to do with it. The author rejects the view that the minority status of Muslims in India has anything major to do

Israel's "friend" - December 16, 2004

Tom Barrett: "I have long believed that the United Nations is the most dangerous organization on our planet. The corruption that has been revealed there over the last few years has only reinforced my opinion. Now it is becoming apparent that the rampant corruption at the UN starts at the very top. More than any thing, the UN is a savagely anti-United States propaganda outlet. It is made up

THE FASCIST AMERICAN LEFT - December 15, 2004

(Article by Cinnamon Stillwell) San Francisco State University has been in the spotlight lately, and the picture that has emerged is not a flattering one. Following last month's nationwide elections, members of the SFSU chapter of the College Republicans were confronted by an angry mob simply for setting up a table and handing out political literature. Members of the International Socialist

RACE, RACISM AND STEREOTYPING - December 14, 2004

An issue of abiding interest to all Jews AMERICA'S MOST OFFENSIVE FOUR-LETTER WORD There is no doubt that the most offensive four-letter word in America today is "race". I gather that my occasional mentioning of it greatly limits the readership of much that I write. It is my contention, however, that it is mainly the Left that keep it that way -- by going ballistic every time that
