Something that I see being referenced a lot on the dissident Right is the attack on the USS Liberty during the Six-Day War in June 1967 as an ironic statement on the “greatest ally” myth. It’s usually merely a mention: the Liberty. Everybody is simply expected to know what it is all about.

I find that there are a number of misconceptions floating around, stemming from outdated information and speculation on the part of the survivors themselves. “Israel attacked our ship, and then Lyndon Johnson hushed it up.” Well, that’s the very basic of basics. (more…)

October 7, 2023 was like both September 11, 2001 and January 6, 2021 for American conservatives. Hamas’ attack on Israeli settlements and troops unleashed an immediate fury from the Right, especially when there were reports of “beheaded babies,” babies “baked in ovens,” and hundreds of Israeli women raped.

Donald Trump sat down for an extended interview with Time magazine reporter Eric Cortellessa on April 12 to discuss what a second Trump administration would look like. Two weeks later the pair talked again over the phone, and Time published the story soon after. An example of classic Leftist spin, Cortellessa’s story, with the chilling title “How Far Trump Would Go,” is not worth even a fraction of the 26 minutes Time says it will take to read. (more…)

It seems that there has not been a worse time since the formation of Israel to be a diaspora Jew.

The friends and allies that the diaspora has traditionally counted on are beginning to turn on them with the same determination and ferocity that gentiles have always possessed on the eve of a pogrom or mass expulsion. (more…)

The extreme violence that the Palestinians are being subjected to in Gaza is essentially foundational violence. It is a war that will bring about an expanded Jewish state. Hawkish Israelis are giddy with anticipation at the prospect of annexing newly-won territories to expand their country’s boundaries. (more…)

Aaron Bushnell was a 25-year-old United States Air Force airman who allegedly graduated at the top of his class in basic training. He was planning on transitioning into civilian life as a software engineer and seems to have been a hypercompetent individual. He was also obviously intelligent, and intelligence often goes along with altruism. (more…)

‘Nuther day, ‘nuther few morgue loads in Gaza. It has become almost boring: 25,000 dead and counting. Should we go for a record?

But questions do arise to reinvigorate flagging interest. What kind of human will intentionally bomb a hospital? Or a refugee camp? Is there nothing so foul that an Israeli pilot will not do it? What could be more cowardly? What would it take to get you, the reader, to bomb a hospital? (more…)

. . . I can hardly wish any man better than he would seriously consider what he does with his time; how and to what ends he employs it; and what returns he makes to God, his neighbor, and himself for it. Will he never have a ledger for this? This is the greatest wisdom and work of life. — William Penn (more…)
