.@KhaledAbuToameh exposes @RTErdogan: "While portraying himself as the defender of the Palestinians & of the holy Islamic sites in Jerusalem, he is also depriving 1000s of Palestinian refugees of basic rights, including access to education & medical care." https://t.co/A1NVq9z8AQ Jun 05, 2020
Have you heard about the case of #NicholasMeriwether v Ohio’s Shawnee State Univ., a public institution? A court ruled that his addressing a male student with masculine pronouns is not “speech” protected by the First Amendment. Outrageous. He is appealing. https://t.co/2IDfXZLaHX Jun 04, 2020
Today marks a century since the #TreatyOfTrianon, when the Kingdom of #Hungary was forced to give up 71% of its land & 64% of its population to neighboring countries. Vengeful decisions like this contributed to WWII & still cause tensions today in #CentralEurope & the #MidEast. https://t.co/7u03dXMdpJ Jun 04, 2020
I published "A Reluctant but Unhesitating Vote for Donald Trump" in @Newsweek. "Slowly but inexorably over the past 3 years, my approval of the policies has outbalanced my distaste for the person. … I will do my small part to help Trump get re-elected." https://t.co/xdwnK00OLw Jun 04, 2020
Report: Jared Kushner urged PM @Netanyahu to "downplay enthusiasm" for annexation. Me: Assuming this is accurate, it appears that the annexation flap is over. Trump began it & Trump ended it. And now, back to serious business, including #IsraelVictory. https://t.co/YVRRdJ2Mle Jun 04, 2020
So, #Philadelphia has had: - 3 months of pandemic; - 4 days of rioting; and now - 1 hour of tornados. What next? https://t.co/lyOKnp6R88 Jun 04, 2020
Brilliant move by @BorisJohnson to help both the valiant, skilled & politically moderate peoples of #HongKong and also the UK, which has a too-low birthrate. I hope other low-#TFR countries do likewise. Mighty few communists or #Islamists in this group. https://t.co/iAtMwWf7bC Jun 03, 2020
#AlejandroMacarron has produced a mind-boggling chart of 2018 births in the town of Salt, Catalonia, Spain, north of Barcelona. 28 percent Spanish. More Moroccans than Spaniards. More Africans than all others combined. I believe these are the most extreme figures in all Europe. https://t.co/BU8upPBK2g Jun 02, 2020
It's a rule that when a university establishes a "studies" unit (black, women's, etc.), it serves not to further scholarship but to train activists. So, here we go, with @BrownUniversity just founding the USA's very first "Chair in Palestinian Studies." https://t.co/dg8dEd1sXG Jun 02, 2020
In "De-platforming in Daily Life," I look beyond social media, to how de-platforming is closing in on conservatives: ride-share companies, a hotel chain, an Internet provider, banks, credit-card companies, a payment system, governments, hospitals. Scary. https://t.co/FzTjPBrDwU Jun 02, 2020
Note the plunging lows & surging highs in this graph of worldwide daily deaths from the #COVID19. - Can someone explain the wild pattern? - Is it typical for a pandemic? - Does it point to governments fooling with the numbers? - Is it likely to continue? https://t.co/HBjMJaasKt https://t.co/CT53b8J1Rn Jun 02, 2020
#HaiyunMa of @FrostburgState University: "The People’s Republic of #China has become the world's foremost purveyor of anti-Islamic ideology and hate." He shows that the hostility goes back centuries, moderated, and now is worse than ever. #PRC #ChiComms https://t.co/nnXdWfA55e Jun 02, 2020
Finally, the "deradicalization" crowd has concluded that some jihadis are ideologues who cannot be reformed. It's been a long 40 years since jihadi violence began in the US & Europe (the murder of Ali Tabatabaei near DC on July 22, 1980). #SlowLearners. https://t.co/PaFGZKQycK Jun 01, 2020
#BernardLewis: Middle East studies sees "the acceptance & acclamation as authorities, even as 'standard works,' of books of breathtaking superficiality & inaccuracy. Unfortunately such books … are cited, recommended & even read by many people, in many places, for long periods." https://t.co/mTUsi2AkC6 Jun 01, 2020
To Israelis & friends of #Israel delighted with the Trump plan: Yes, it endorses Israeli annexation of 30% of the #WestBank, but don't forget that's on condition that "Palestine" makes up the remaining 70%. In other words, the plan rewards Palestinians for rejectionism & jihad. https://t.co/eadysqW9Id Jun 01, 2020
A new sight for me: 9 police riding on bicycles in semi-formation in Center City Philadelphia this morning. A counter-swarm? https://t.co/QJrLDBLvNl May 31, 2020
Amerikkka? Back to the 1960s thanks to Antifa rioters in Center City Philadelphia. https://t.co/QnuTQBUd4E May 31, 2020
I wonder if a @BernieSanders supporter sprayed the hammer & sickle symbol of Communism onto a building in Center City Philadelphia last night. https://t.co/mTWGxQHbjG May 31, 2020
It's ugly in Center City Philadelphia. The only good news is that the general response is one of disgust against the rioters. Said one clean-up person: "If they are so upset, why don't they break their own windows?" That's an @ATT store below. https://t.co/isXUbQ1lun May 31, 2020
Philadelphia is under curfew until 6am tomorrow due to rioting. This is the second time in my life I am under curfew. The first was during the bread-price riots in Egypt on Jan. 18-19, 1977. https://t.co/iaFH7WGChF May 31, 2020
.@USAfricaCommand: "As Russia continues to fan the flames of the Libyan conflict,… We’re looking at new ways to address mutual security concerns with Tunisia, including the use of our Security Force Assistance Brigade." Me: Is a Russia-US faceoff ahead? https://t.co/IVGu3bQlAO https://t.co/6Zj8nkscGp May 30, 2020
Paraphrasing the threat from a top Turkish politician & @RTErdogan ally: Hey, Greeks, remember how Turkey massacred your ancestors in eastern Anatolia in 1919-22. Beware, this time, we may invade Greece & you will have to "swim to Sicily” to flee genocide. Me: Our @NATO "ally." https://t.co/Ez1eCJVtU1 May 30, 2020
.@Nave_Dromi, a colleague at @MEForum, and I disagree whether Israel's annexation of the #WestBank forwards or impedes #IsraelVictory. I say the latter. We also disagree on what #DavidBenGurion would do if he were PM now. For my take, see below. @JNS_org https://t.co/gspJY1VUa9 May 29, 2020
.@FrankGaffney interviewed me today on #SecureFreedomRadio about: - US-Turkish relations - Russian-Turkish relations - The #Turkey-Libya "naval passage" - The state of Turkey's military - The state of Turkey’s economy - Turkey's future role in @NATO https://t.co/s9RlByax8W May 28, 2020
Major statement by PM @Netanyahu. Asked if Palestinians who live in the #JordanValley will receive Israeli citizenship after the region is annexed to Israel, he replied: "No. They will remain [in] a Palestinian enclave." Me: This way lies perdition. https://t.co/np930BGdfU https://t.co/QNTS9xWXkG May 28, 2020
Confused about “#Obamagate”? Well, you're hardly alone. @Charles_Lipson helpfully unspools its 3 key elements - illegal surveillance, political spying, covering up the spying - and he draws conclusions. In short: It's huge & dismaying. Prosecute them all. https://t.co/vTFJ4RAvpP May 28, 2020
Headline of the year? "Berlin study reveals 92 percent of left-wing activists live with their parents." Just imagine them childlike & carefree in their teenage bedrooms or in the basement, plotting the next #Antifa campaign or some other act of violence. https://t.co/FcOwJbAQlv May 27, 2020
It was always obvious that Israel's ignominious unilateral retreat from Lebanon on May 24, 2000, would end very badly for it. - I predicted that at the time (see the article below) - Now, #EfraimKarsh & #GershonHacohen reveal the full extent of the damage https://t.co/SCkShyQmu4 May 27, 2020
#MicahLevinson: The introduction of the 4th-generation Russian warplanes to #Libya "might tip the balance of power in the LNA's favor" vs the Turkish-backed GNA. Me: It looks like things will quickly heat up in Libya. Time to pay that civil war attention. https://t.co/HuHJelXFFg May 27, 2020
Israeli Army Radio: Israel’s military liaison to the Palestinians warns of a potential wave of violence following annexation of parts of the #WestBank. Me: That's counterproductive symbolism. Better to go for real steps that lead to #IsraelVictory. https://t.co/SXsI78OOiM May 26, 2020
An amplified #adhan (the Islamic call to prayer) has come to Los Angeles, arousing mixed feelings. https://t.co/k2GuGVTpYp May 26, 2020
"Why #Turkey's Ruling #AKP Party's Coronavirus Plan Could Be a Disaster" is a respectable, conventional analysis by @Stratfor at @TheNatlInterest. But it assumes that @RTErdogan will respect democratic elections in 2023. I'll bet my mortgage he will not. https://t.co/A0ZawjS9hq https://t.co/7nFenGfr6D May 25, 2020
Interesting picture issued by Iran's dictator, @Khamenei_IR, showing a host of thugs, alive & dead, praying in Jerusalem. Play the game: Can you find #QasemSoleimani? How about #HassanNasrullah? #IsmailHaniyeh? A hidden #BasharAlAsad? And that cloud in the back, who might it be? https://t.co/GHRA5v0slW May 25, 2020
#Libya's civil war marks the first time - and I hope the last - that I root for Russia's ally to defeat America's ally. (Weirdly, Washington backs the Islamists.) My general rule: Better secular dictators than #Islamist ones. Go LNA & #KhalifaHaftar. https://t.co/7dGr4G5Tzd May 23, 2020
.@SFrantzman in the @Jerusalem_Post: "Israel-Turkey Relations Could Be In for a Change." Me: Oh no, the Israeli, are at it again. Some sage advice: Drop it. Don't get burned again. Treat @RTErdogan's Turkey as an enemy with some shared tactical interests. https://t.co/TWGWC8iSNe May 23, 2020
#PinhasAvivi in the @Algemeiner: "The dormant status of the Palestinian issue is to Israel’s benefit." Me: Don't throw away a precious asset in return for mere symbolism. https://t.co/GMiD505LrE May 22, 2020
As I warned: Talk of Israel's annexing the #WestBank leads not to #PalestinianDefeat but the reverse. Buoyed by near-universal support, Palestinians are acting more aggressively toward the #Jewishstate. #IsraelVictory requires smarts, strategy & vision. https://t.co/ma1nSRTxFM May 22, 2020
Big thinking here: As #China, with its vast economic & military power, its technological advancement & brutal determination, emerges as the West's preeminent threat, #Islamism seems puny & gets pushed aside. Back we slide to pre-9/11 days. Until events remind us it's not puny. https://t.co/A4iNvuKSzs May 21, 2020
Bravo, @MESA_1966. Good to see that you responded so quickly with an open letter to @RTErdogan about "Recent developments in Turkey targeting Istanbul @SehirUniversite." Me: It's a good letter, focusing on Erdo's conflict with former PM @Ahmet_Davutoglu. https://t.co/M1YLlD2BSu https://t.co/BmKVNUh9gV May 21, 2020
News item: In place of the adhan (call to prayer), several mosques in #Izmir province, #Turkey, played the Italian song "#BellaCiao" from their minarets. Izmir's religious directorate: "An unidentified person sabotaged the central call-to-prayer system." https://t.co/Q8WGsaHOfT May 21, 2020
New law in #Iran: "Activities of the Israeli software platforms in Iran & using its hardware & software products is forbidden." Me: Great news! The mullah dolts have thus totally cut themselves off from the modern world, including its economy & weaponry. https://t.co/ViNLi4Irjl https://t.co/hyjdm46Bd2 May 21, 2020
.@RTErdogan's domination of #Turkey continues to expand. For example, a new law permits Turkish academics to be punished for engaging in behavior deemed outside "public morality & decency" or their circulating "'banned publications.” Where is @MESA_1966? https://t.co/6Ya9FcVtOP May 21, 2020
Notable #Jerusalem resident stats: - Over 60% are Arab - Nearly 1% left so far in 2020 - Way fewer are employed than national average - Housing is more expensive - Jewish women give birth to 4.4 children vs 3.1 for Arab women In short, an unusual place. https://t.co/JqhVvDhoda May 21, 2020
How depraved can today's university become? A forthcoming book from @PrincetonUPress, "The Joshua Generation" by @RachelHavrelock (Univ. of Illinois, Chicago) argues that a "biblical tale of conquest & genocide became a founding story of modern Israel." https://t.co/UIqYLsVmLb May 19, 2020
.@WSJ: The Pensacola #jihadi, Mohammed Alshamrani, "had been communicating with al Qaeda operatives shortly before the attack [&] as early as 2015." Me: Good news that 5 years of planning led to the deaths of just 3. Bravo to US law enforcement for this. https://t.co/7lOyI8UmUc May 19, 2020
A @WashingtonPost scoop: "On May 9, shipping traffic at Iran’s bustling #ShahidRajaeePort terminal [near #BandarAbbas] came to an abrupt and inexplicable halt … creating massive backups on waterways and roads leading to the facility." Go, #Israel, go. https://t.co/QaWmMgqnKs May 19, 2020
Israeli Jewish BDSers - "Boycott me!" - would seem to do much damage to Israel. But #DouglasAltabef says no, Ironically, they "play a salutary role" by uniting "the rest of society … in contempt for them." Me: As ever, going too far is counterproductive. https://t.co/kFAACOiVMb May 19, 2020
Once again, now concerning Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, the #Saudi #jihadi who killed 3 on a rampage at Naval Air Station #Pensacola, @Apple obstructs justice by not making available the information on the murderer's iPhone.

#Sisi continues to gain new dictatorial powers in #Egypt : "The army now has the right to arrest and investigate with citizens before the military prosecution — powers previously limited to the country’s law enforcement officers & the public prosecution." https://t.co/cpRA43mQ6V May 18, 2020
My take on Trump & the pandemic. He: - Makes a fool of himself talking about it & should stop - Correctly blames the virus on the #CCP - Has wisely desisted making a power grab, letting states, etc. make the key decisions (h/t @Charles_Lipson) In all: B+ https://t.co/pwERlICAsC May 18, 2020
.@V_of_Europe: The geniuses running the #EuropeanUnion are, via its Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA), helping to fund the ships, armored vehicles & surveillance equipment @RTErdogan's Turkey uses to harass & threaten #Greece. Smart move, EU! https://t.co/UIUnLsRXKo May 18, 2020

The indifference of the UK's 6Ps (police, politicians, press, priests, professors, prosecutors) to #Islamist barbarism, preying on society's weakest - young girls - leaves one speechless. As does the lack of response to this powerful article. This Anglophile is most pessimistic. https://t.co/UJ6Vev9Zps May 17, 2020
The irony & complexity of face coverings in #France: - Anti-#COVID19 masks are required - #Niqabs are mildly illegal - "Yellow Vests" (Gilets Jaunes) protestors' masks are very illegal Yet, they all hide the face in similar ways. Intent is what counts. https://t.co/B5CQAD6mnC May 17, 2020
With 35 ministers, #Israel's new cabinet is gaining on the Guinness-record 52 ministers in a 2008 Sri Lankan government. As everyone knows, only 5 ministers matter: PM, foreign, defense, justice, finance. These days, maybe health. The rest are eyewash. https://t.co/TlB2ykKiFb May 17, 2020

NATO's boss @JensStoltenberg: "NATO is ready to give its support to the government of Tripoli” in Libya (aka the Turkish-backed #Islamist GNA). Me: - If @NATO is backing our enemies who needs it? - Stoltenberg is soft on Islamism, like nearly all leftists https://t.co/siuOHg8dfJ May 16, 2020

.@KingAbdullahII warns of a "massive conflict" between Jordan & Israel if Israelis annex the West Bank. (He's not explicit, but presumably he means any part of the #WestBank.)

Jean Dussine, 63, a French pro-illegal migrant activist, was murdered, apparently by a young male Afghan to whom Dussine generously opened his home. Assuming that account is accurate, this tragic event symbolizes the deepest agony of contemporary Europe. https://t.co/OeHy5KsmME May 15, 2020
Now that’s taking the #COVID19 really, really seriously: In #Qatar, face masks will soon be compulsory outside the home (except driving alone in a car). Violators face up to 3 years in jail and $55,000 fines. https://t.co/mAxpyp9yK5 May 15, 2020
.@RTErdogan wallows in aggressive #Ottoman nostalgia, suiting up mustachioed young men in cheap knock-off uniforms to resemble old-time Turkish soldiers.

Political correctness? No, the problem runs much deeper than that. William S.

After all that @RTErdogan has done, I hope that this headline and what it implies is completely wrong: "#Israel seeking to rebuild full diplomatic ties with #Turkey" How many humiliations must the Israelis endure before they get the message & stop trying? https://t.co/c0WSKgqamo May 14, 2020

#ISIS is not dead, as the headline below indicates. But it's also a bit deceptive, for no central ISIS command parcels out tasks. Rather, local #jihadis, inspired by ISIS' goals, proclaim themselves representing it. Beware: That's not less of a worry. https://t.co/BMg7nV4rzS Mar 28, 2020
Daniel Greenfield (@Sultanknish) argues against treating media companies as essential business allowed to operate during the #COVID19 crisis. Essential news comes via the Internet; #MSM either whips up panic or sends reporters to do unwanted interviews. https://t.co/kAbKEwv9hJ Mar 28, 2020

1974: Awful that #Turkey's armed forces attacked & occupied northern #Cyprus 2020: Worse that @RTErdogan wants to impose #Islamism on Cypriot Turks because, @GokhanBacik explains in @Ahval_en, "In the eyes of Anatolian Turks, Turkish Cypriots look like '#kafirs' or infidels." https://t.co/wTaDmjlsYA Mar 05, 2020

Well, that was a lot faster than expected - not 3 years but 4 days. As I've been saying for decades: #Islamists need to be defeated, not accommodated, just like Nazis & Communists before them.

I explain why I think the #QasemSolaimani execution is a major event only if it signals a major & lasting shift in US policy toward #Iran, meaning a willingness to use military as well as economic tools. Otherwise, it's just taking out a mere operative. https://t.co/h0ojYbHs7a https://t.co/J7dlRhfdUx Jan 05, 2020

The #EastMed gas pipeline signing got shoved aside in the news because of the #QasemSoleimani execution.

My take on the execution of #QassemSoleimani: - It has minimal operational impact, much like taking out OBL - It has huge US policy impact, but ONLY if this marks a consistent change.

ICYMI: Most Western officials are wimps, so kudos to UK FM @Jeremy_Hunt for reporting on the “persecution, ranging from routine discrimination in education, employment & social life up to genocidal attacks, against #Christian communities” in the #MidEast. https://t.co/85sXBy3K6c Jun 30, 2019
.@Ahval_en has a first-hand report on the sophisticated torture (ie, the kind that leaves no traces) of Turkish diplomats accused of belonging to the #Gülen movement. Me: @RT_Erdogan is an #Islamist barbarian & his #Turkey must be seen as a U.S. opponent. https://t.co/rYWOA1wlfd Jun 30, 2019
.@Gabriel_Pogrund in @TheTimes on “transnational marriage abandonment”: It sounds bureaucratic & boring but it’s a major human tragedy. Traditional #Muslim women are brought from #Pakistan etc. to the UK to make children, cook & clean, then are divorced. https://t.co/kbH2SnAnCg Jun 30, 2019
Please read this important, deep analysis by Brig Barker (@RedGsg) for @TheIPT on how Americans have become inured & blasé about #jihad.

Chigozie Obioma a Nigerian, tells the sad story of 20K Africans doing badly in northern (ie, Turkish) #Cyprus, a place they don't want to be & where they are unwanted. Chalk up deceptive educational promises as yet another of @RT_Erdogan's foul legacies. https://t.co/AihpUyRKg4 Jun 30, 2019
@JIssacharoff @netanyahu @AfD @JIssacharoff: -How diplomatic! -@Netanyahu will be delighted with your attacking me. -Rather than respond to my critique, you attack me personally. That’s the Alinsky playbook. How trite -You & I did meet, at the @IsraelKongress last Nov. But you barely noticed my existence. Jun 29, 2019
#Europe’s greatest problem is not climate change, the EU, or Russia, but the cluster of problems around Demographics Immigration Multiculturalism Islamization Acronym: DIMI. Easy to remember - it's just like "dhimmi", the status of being a protected minority under Muslim rule. Jun 28, 2019
#VladimirPutin is a thug. But he does say some smart things about “the liberal idea” & most especially about the immigration crisis: Liberals believe "migrants can kill, plunder & rape with impunity because their rights as migrants have to be protected." https://t.co/MHdVZJgUIH Jun 28, 2019
The v new #Israel-#Hamas deal: Israel provides fuel & allows more fishing in return for ending the attacks. How to view this from an #IsraelVictory perspective? I see it as positive: Only when fuel was stopped did Hamas come to the table. That's a great lesson for future policy. Jun 28, 2019
.@Doranimated's important article points out how an obscure part of the #IranDeal, the 7 waivers, are now Tehran's priority. #Trump revoked 2 of them. #Khamenei & Co. want them back, as well as to preserve the other 5. They count on a G20 gang-up on Trump to make all this happen. https://t.co/LYavgNRvh8 Jun 28, 2019
Good: Jewish Germans are pleading with #Israel's PM @Netanyahu to "free us from this ambassdor," a reference to the far-left @JIssacharoff. In particular, he attacks the pro-Israel @AfD & defends #Germany's anti-Israel parties. #journalistenwatch #JAfD https://t.co/gkJpUVYJpT Jun 28, 2019
ICYMI: 152 governments voted in favor of the "Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration" that encourages migration for any reason at all. 5 voted against it: USA, Hungary, Czechia, Poland, Israel. Me: Now, that's a distinguished honor role. https://t.co/HqDfQcQDkY Jun 28, 2019
I call #Europe's police the "police" - they play at protecting the public but are bureaucrats in uniform keeping busy. Another example: #London's Met has its first "gender-fluid" employee who reports some days as a M & others as F. He even has 2 ID cards. https://t.co/LDtdHhpCnp Jun 28, 2019

.@DaoudKuttab adopts the language of normal nationalism when he states "#Palestinians will not surrender." Translated out of his euphemism, this means: "Palestinians will not give up their drive to eliminate the #Jewish state of #Israel." If you doubt me, just look at PA maps. https://t.co/jlmaSdIVCp Jun 27, 2019
The entire punditocracy agrees: #Erdoğan's party loss of the #Istanbul mayor elections was a major blow. Except me. I say it's an anomaly and that E will soon put matters to right again, using his might to take back full control of every part of #Turkey. https://t.co/X0FZFE8KZs Jun 26, 2019

In response to a barrage of explosives-laden balloons from #Hamas, sparking 8 wildfires, #Israel stopped providing fuel to #Gisha, #Gaza's only power plant. Me: Finally! This small step toward #IsraelVictory needs to be repeated each time Hamas attacks. https://t.co/Oho7ipISo7 Jun 25, 2019

The opposition candidate soundly beat @RT_Erdogan's man in the #Istanbul mayoral election today. I admit to being puzzled.

#Sweden's parliament just made it easier for #Syrians to bring their relatives into the country (it's called chain migration). Only two parties, the Moderates & #SwedenDemocrats, voted against. What do Italians & Hungarians understand that Swedes do not? https://t.co/j28osjM7KM Jun 23, 2019
My reaction to #Trump's "Peace to Prosperity" (what does that even mean, anyway?) plan: We're back to #ShimonPeres' notion that material welfare will distract #Palestinians from their venomous & violent rejection of #Israel.

Document: @RT_Erdogan purged 67% of #Turkey's flag officers after the July 2016 "coup." Me: This appears comparable to #Stalin's 1941 purge of the Red Army. If so, it strongly suggests that Turkey's armed forces are badly crippled. Take note, everyone. https://t.co/Zq5U6Xlx8p https://t.co/MYDknbmFol Jun 23, 2019
ICYMI: Harvey @Sapolsky argues persuasively for removing US nuclear weapons from #IncirlikAirBase in #Turkey. -The Soviet reason for their presence vaporized in 1991 -Turkey's government is hostile -War rages nearby in Syria -The infrastructure is creaky https://t.co/x893gVVVzg Jun 22, 2019
#Trump claims he backed off an attack because 150 Iranian vs no US deaths is disproportionate. My better explanation: He is wavering between what is good for the country (reduce Iran's nuclear infrastructure) & what is good for his 2020 political prospects (no war, as promised). https://t.co/kIglsxyQSi Jun 22, 2019
ICYMI: Hamas' #Islamism, brutality & misrule caused 35K #Palestinians to flee #Gaza in 2018, mostly headed to the West. Me: Ironically, #Hamas is implementing @MartinSherman2's "humanitarian paradigm" of convincing Palestinians voluntarily to emigrate. https://t.co/xprxB0lMTN Jun 22, 2019
Greek PM Alexis @Tsipras_EU has sternly warned @RT_Erdogan not to explore for natural gas in Greek waters: "We won't allow Erdoğan to drill in #Greece's EEZ. Greece has a prevention plan. Greece will not take a step back." Me: Bullies need tough words. https://t.co/yPC0dDQ7Lq Jun 22, 2019

#Iran's regime has recently downed a US drone, 3 times attacked US forces or interests in Iraq & sabotaged 4 tankers - all without paying any discernible price. Continued weakness could become as harmful to the United States as was #Obama's #IranDeal. Jun 21, 2019
I am watching #DesignatedSurvivor, a political thriller with non-stop crises. That US forces were about to strike #Iranian targets but were pulled back because #Trump changed his mind fits the thriller. But it is difficult to imagine an actual American president so incompetent. Jun 21, 2019
.@RT_Erdogan is considering annexation of the 1/3 of #Cyprus that #Turkey's forces brutally invaded in 1974 & have occupied ever since? Me: That would not be a surprise but just another rogue, illegal & outrageous step by Turkey's out-of-control dictator. https://t.co/95z62TS48a Jun 21, 2019

.@SimonWaldman1 confirms a point I have been making for some years: #Turkey remains a #NATO member but a ghost member, one "increasingly isolated" from the others, not invited to meetings, not given intel, not sold weapons.

Another case of #Muslim slave-holders in the West, this time a mother and two sons in #Midlothian, Virginia. The unique twist? That the enslaved woman had been married to one of her enslavers.

“The #Jews always flip” was #Trump's reported reaction on learning about Cohen, Pecker & Weisselberg turning against him, according to Michael Wolff's new book “Siege: Trump Under Fire.” Me: But this does yet not seem to have led to policy consequences. https://t.co/sJiaVe7ppJ https://t.co/PVuOR1RWRw May 29, 2019
Happy to add my voice to those calling on @RT_Erdogan to #StopTorturingDiplomats. But if he could, he'd probably torture me too, so I doubt my appeal will carry a lot of weight. #Turkey is a Putin-like despotism.

The conservative-#civilizationist (#ÖVP-#FPÖ) government coalition in #Austria just totally collapsed in acrimony.

Implication: Getting to that future will take a real long time https://t.co/45Mu0lcfLJ May 27, 2019
What did the just-completed #EUelections2019 amount to? To me, the most important result was the mild strengthening of #civilizationist parties, whose share of seats rose from ~20 to ~25 percent.

#HagiaSophia in #Istanbul is among the world's oldest (built in AD537), most important & most beautiful buildings. (It was 916 years a church, 481 years a mosque.) But now, its former head states, loud noise could cause the vast structure to collapse. https://t.co/ddsB4b8xzD Apr 02, 2019

Yes, leftist hostility to #Israel keeps growing, but cracks in #Muslim hostility keep appearing, now from - of all places - in #Somalia. A #UNHRC abstention was no mistake but the result of high tensions over this issue. Read more, below. It's a new world. https://t.co/NYHjbOcfBc Apr 01, 2019
There's an effort - let's hope serious - to end female genital mutilation (#FGM) in #Egypt by 2025, using education & punishments (including jail time) to get the message across. Inspired by this goal, how about Western countries adopt a similar target? https://t.co/OLUOnSed6w Apr 01, 2019

Excellent discussion with @DouglasKMurray, @Ayaan Hirsi Ali & Mosab Hassan Yousef (@SonOfHamas) whether #Islam & democracy are compatible.

Coats, Director of National Intelligence, sugarcoats the problem: "#Turkey’s regional ambitions, a distrust of the US & the growing authoritarianism of Turkey’s leaders are complicating bilateral relations & making #Ankara more willing to challenge US regional goals." https://t.co/EiKFgzIjwu Feb 02, 2019
In what's called a "landmark case,," a London court found an (unnamed) 37-year-old mother of Ugandan origins guilty of female genital mutilation (#FGM) on her 3-year-old daughter. Me: Time to get serious about suppressing this illegal & barbaric practice. https://t.co/pviIVo7VRw Feb 02, 2019
"#Maduro Gives #Erdoğan a New Lifeline" reads @PinarTremblay's article. Sounds backwards - but it's not. The mix of #Venezuela's disaster & US hostility to Maduro serve E's electoral purposes by distracting attention away from #Turkey's economic decline. https://t.co/JDZvtJ8C5b Feb 02, 2019
Today, Feb. 1, marks 40 years since #Khomeini returned from exile to #Iran. It also marks 40 years of #Islamism, autocracy, bigotry, misery, corruption, oppression, nepotism, poverty, war & would-be genocide.

Notice how #USsenators voted on the resolution that “a precipitous withdrawal” from #Syria threatens national security - ie, voted on #Trump's policy? R: 43 Y, 3N D: 25 Y, 20 N I.e., 6% of Rs supported Trump, 44% of Ds did. Me: It's not the first time Ds agree more with Trump. Feb 01, 2019
For years, #Massachusetts politicians have been morbidly drawn the Islamic Society of Boston (@ISBCC), no matter how this damages their reputation or emboldens our #Islamist enemies.

It appears that Israel's PM @Netanyahu preemptively rejected one of #Trump's "deal of the century" conditions.

Today marks the half-way mark of #Trump's administration. So, grade time: B+ for policies - he's much more conservative than expected D for character - the election validated his deeply troubling & dangerous personality B for effectiveness - cowboy antics work reasonably well Jan 20, 2019

In the bad old days, @RT_Erdogan railed against the supposed "interest lobby" that maliciously raised inflation & caused other miseries in #Turkey. In the happy new days, high inflation is a good thing because it means a big pay raise! Hooray for fantasy. https://t.co/6ZMV1zelaP Jan 18, 2019
Have you heard of Burj Al Babas, the abandoned village of 732 repeating @Disney-like castles in a remote part of #Turkey? It's part of @RT_Erdogan's unsound plan to build the country's economy through mega-projects. It's also a total financial failure. https://t.co/WtR5R0vecd Jan 17, 2019

My take at @JNS_org on 22-year-old American BDS activist #LaraAlqasam being detained, then allowed into #Israel: No matter how it came out, Israel would have ended up the loser.

The #BeerSheva single mother, #MiriTamano shoved her 3 sons (8, 9, 12) into their home bomb shelter at 3:40am & not only saved all their lives but avoided a larger #Israel-#Hamas conflagration. It had been “divine providence … It was clearly a miracle.” https://t.co/uvnOHowPNV Oct 19, 2018
My take on the @JKhashoggi affair: 1. Everyone involved - #Saudi & #Turkish leaders, victim - is an Islamist. What do you expect from totalitarians? 2. This is standard operating procedure for Riyadh. How come no one noticed until now? 3. If 9/11 blew over, this will blow over. Oct 19, 2018
"@CAIRNational to Pay Tribute to @JKhashoggi at Oct. 20 Annual Banquet." That tells you all you need to know about who Jamal Khashoggi was. Of course, denounce his barbaric murder, as do I, but don't hide his ugly views & affiliations. #IslamistsAll. https://t.co/J4WToiCbB9 Oct 19, 2018

#Trump on a Palestinian-Israeli deal: "In the negotiation, #Israel will have to pay a higher price because they won a very big thing."

#Turkey's ruling #AK party held its 6th "grand congress" today under a supremely fascistic slogan: "One Nation, One Goal" (Millet Bir, Hedef Bir). #Erdoğan used the opportunity to reiterate that "They have their dollars, we have our God." Me: This is one guy looking for trouble https://t.co/bkeeKUVJxo Aug 18, 2018
As #Turkey's lira loses value, it's worth recalling that #Erdoğan already lopped 6 zeroes off it on Jan 1, 2005. Contrast the two bills below, worth the same amount. It used to cost TL4mn for one cup of coffee. In short, Turks over 20 years of age know all about hyper-inflation. https://t.co/gMHU3jv8ff Aug 18, 2018

#Turkey's GDP is ~$900bn, its foreign debt is a crushing $466bn.

The basic point: Agree or disagree with him, he must freely be able to express his views on #Islamism, a critical topic of our time, without being thrown into jail. That's why @MEForum helps him. https://t.co/8ODBg2zxG4 Jul 28, 2018

Hey, @CAIRNational, here's someone you want to hire pronto: For reasons unknown, a waiter in Texas named #Khalil faked a note on the receipt from a customer: "We don't tip terrorist." But the waiter got caught & was fired; the customer got a free meal. https://t.co/8pQzbEdxNx https://t.co/X5FQQg0VVe Jul 26, 2018
.@CTCWP asks: "Is There a Nexus Between Terrorist Involvement and Mental Health in the Age of the #IslamicState?" The answer, quoted below, is resoundingly no. Mental problems do not translate into violence without a motivating ideology such as #Islamism. https://t.co/wlfHVum5g2 https://t.co/SCwgB8ZS2s Jul 26, 2018
I note with sadness the passing of Gerardo Joffe, the founder of #FLAME (Facts & Logic About the Middle East), at 98. He was a fine man. Back in 2000-03 he & I negotiated about my taking over FLAME but in the end the fit was not right & it did not happen. https://t.co/sZ4ugRHfbF Jul 25, 2018

The website @TurkeyPurge (at https://t.co/FLZ9VhakKZ) lists how many #Turks have lost their jobs due to #Erdoğan's autocratic rampage. Me: 1. A human tragedy lies behind each of these numbers. 2.

#Israel's military extracted 800 members of the "White Helmets" & their families from #Syria to #Jordan. Canada, Germany & UK promise to take them in. Me: Wondering why it's not Saudi, Qatar & UAE. Why always the West? Where is #Arab/#Muslim solidarity? https://t.co/PGaNnnDVWJ Jul 23, 2018

Ominous sign for #Egypt's economy: Wheat production declined from last year. Local farmers provide just 40% of Egypt's needs for this basic staple, meaning that 60% must be imported.

#IvanKrastev: #AngelaMerkel's invitation in 2015 for uncontrolled migration created a refugee crisis that "was #Europe’s 9/11." It raised deep questions about globalization & the reality of a unified post-1989 Europe. Me: It was a world historical event. https://t.co/yhQ1vVH2R3 Jul 16, 2018
Major riots in #France followed the @FIFAWorldCup victory. But French media (1) downplay the extent of violence & (2) assiduously avoid any mention of ethnicity - it's just plain "youths."

With #Croatia so prominent in the news, this is a good moment to note a curious poll of views toward #Islam by @Fondapol showing Central Europeans (starting with #Czechs) to be the most negative - with the very striking exception of Croatians. Can anyone out there explain this? https://t.co/tSqgwUdayd Jul 15, 2018
The @Independent paraphrases @ChathamHouse's #FadiHakura on #Turkey's future: "an economic crash is now inevitable." Me: #Erdoğan thinks that because he is a political genius, he also an economic genius. Before long, we'll find out if he is right or not. https://t.co/CO19H2SxVg Jul 15, 2018
What I call the #6Ps are those Westerners who are in greatest denial, the elites who try to prevent the naturally negative response to out-of-control immigration & #Islamization. The 6Ps are the: police, politicians, press, priests, professors & prosecutors. Did I miss anyone? Jul 14, 2018
Get ready for fun & games in #Erdoğan's #Turkey: The Turkish lira lost more than 3% vs the dollar after his son-in-law became the economic czar. Then bonds tumbled, pushing 10-year yields to a record high, & stocks slid. Me: Economic laws will prevail. https://t.co/ZCQEbDTTy3 Jul 14, 2018

Revealing: Media celebrates diversity of #France's @FIFAWorldCup team (#WaPo: "Seventeen of France’s 23 players are children of first generation migrants") but stays silent about the non-diversity of #Croatia's team. One more sign of how the Left wants to break traditional life. Jul 12, 2018
A foretaste of what's to come in Western #Europe? To protect Danish values, #Denmark's government, with Social Democrat (@Spolitik) agreement, has formally designated 25 majority-migrant areas as "#ghettos" & applied draconian laws exclusively to them. https://t.co/5j3oMrGlP7 Jul 11, 2018

I continue to be surprised that #Trump - who reached office w/o political knowledge, philosophy or network - is governing as a consistent conservative in domestic matters (the judiciary, environment, taxes, education, immigration). His foreign policy, however, is not consistent. Jul 10, 2018
Glad to see that #MahmoudAbbas' antics means no recognition of "Palestine" for now. But really: rewarding Hamas's murderous misrule by spending money on Gaza? That's not the path to defeat & an end of conflict. Rather, it perpetuates jihad & rejectionism. https://t.co/jRA41rAs9J Jul 08, 2018

That's me speaking. 25 years after the signing of the delusional #OsloAccords, it's time for some serious thinking about what's next. My recommendation: #IsraelVictory.

For the real deterrence against migrants from #Africa, look to #Algeria's barbaric policy of leaving them off in the scorching desert to "walk or die." Meanwhile, #Libyans sell migrants off as slaves. And #Europeans avert their eyes from these horrors. https://t.co/ITbqRYtZKK Jul 03, 2018

I spent a week in #Poland to understand why it differs so much on #Muslim immigration from Western #Europe, then collected my thoughts in this article. Main conclusion: The difference mostly results from Poland having the chance to watch W.E.'s mistakes. https://t.co/Wl79NwXjad Jul 01, 2018
Michael Rubin @mrubin1971: #Erdoğan's "goal was never simply consolidation of absolute power over #Turkey, but rather to lead a worldwide transformation of Islam & become leader of the #Islamic world. For E, phase one is complete, but phase two of his program is just beginning." Jul 01, 2018
Fine review by #GaryFouse of #MidEast studies professors & others defending @TariqRamadan from muiiple rape charges - even though they have no idea what actually happened. Even though they would not rush to defend someone who's not #Islamist royalty. https://t.co/6Rz5nFSnEK https://t.co/UtOXcwnarr Jun 30, 2018
It appears that #Germany's disastrous showing at the @FIFAWorldCup was connected to 2 players of #Turkish origins fawning over "their president" #Erdoğan. Me: Will this massively high-profit event awake more Germans to the immigrant-related problems in their society? I expect so Jun 28, 2018
How exactly, precisely NOT to achieve #IsraelVictory: "#Israel approves solar field to increase power supply to #Gaza." Worse yet, it's free for Gazans, a nice little present for being accessories to the launching of rockets, missiles & incendiary kites. https://t.co/tMZeIqu5xh Jun 27, 2018
Well, a big surprise: #Erdoğan just won both the presidency & the parliament in #Turkey's "controlled" election. Why it's a fraud: As @CNN notes, "the opposition cried foul, claiming that state media & the election commission had manipulated the results." https://t.co/ajMitsVVWT Jun 25, 2018
@tunkuv I am in #Warsaw b/c interested why Poles (and others in the #Visegrád group & more broadly in all of Eastern Europe) differ so sharply on the issues of immigration & #Islamization from Western Europeans. Is it the Soviet bloc experience? Coming late to the issue? Something else? Jun 25, 2018
Me, at Chielma 20, #Warsaw, in front of my maternal great-grandparents’ leather-goods store (now a book store). This is one of the few buildings in the central city to survive WW II. I am in Poland to learn about immigration & #Islamic issues with an intent to write about them. https://t.co/sBWcXksHfd Jun 24, 2018
Analysts call today’s elections in #Turkey “watershed” (WaPo), “landmark” (AP) & “historic” (Time). But they are nothing of the sort. Here's why: 1. Erdoğan will inevitably win because his minions get to count the ballots. 2. He already has all the powers he could possibly want. Jun 24, 2018
3. Even if the opposition miraculously won the presidency, does anyone seriously believe the new incumbent - who shares many of #Erdoğan's #Islamist & anti-Western views - would voluntarily relinquish his vast powers? So, June 24 '18, will likely be a date #Turks quickly forget. Jun 24, 2018
.@SPLCenter just labeled me "longtime anti-#Muslim." I guess it did not learn its lesson, even after forking over $3.4mn to @MaajidNawaz for defaming him as an "anti-Muslim extremist." Does SPLC need another threatened law suit to stop the defamation? https://t.co/RAySZJ7TJU Jun 23, 2018
Ignacio Cembrero (@icembrero) has a fascinating analysis of "The Inconceivable Abdication of Morocco's Mohamed VI." Quite a pickle: The king much prefers foreign trips to spending time in #Morocco, the crown prince is just 15 yo & the ex-wife is v angry. https://t.co/EYWpxc7E9g Jun 21, 2018
.@AEHarrod elegantly demonstrates how #Palestinian "diplomats" engage try to eliminate #Israel through invective, deception & rejectionism. In the #IsraelVictory spirit, he calls for a shift towards "coercive pressures" against the #PalestinianAuthority. https://t.co/6I0PsFgLCM Jun 21, 2018
John Rossomando (@jrossman12): A @CAIRNational-connected PR firm, @ReThinkRights, probably got @MaajidNawaz included in @SPLCenter's notorious "Anti-Muslim Extremists" booklet. The booklet that cost SPLC $3.4mn for libel. Moral: Stay far away from CAIR. https://t.co/ypb3pNMAnG Jun 20, 2018

Ironic that #Erdoğan wanting 2 #German soccer stars of #Turkish origin (@IlkayGuendogan, @MesutOzil1088) to pay homage to him has likely weakened the German soccer team at the @FIFAWorldCup. How so? Read the article for many unexpected twists. https://t.co/ynByUytA4A Jun 15, 2018

Was it a good idea to recognize #Jerusalem as #Israel’s capital & move the US embassy there? @AJCGlobal poll finds: Israeli #Jews 85-7% in favor, US Jews 46-47% against. Me: 1.

1/2 Good that @SecPompeo acknowledged that under #Erdoğan, #Turkey's actions undermine “the @NATO alliance" & that its “trend is wrong.” But that’s not enough. Time to stop the sale of #F35 fighter jets & demand American hostages be immediately released. https://t.co/v1mKD1aSLD Jun 10, 2018
2/2 The #Greeks report 56 violations by Turkish fighter jets into their airspace in a single day – more than once every ½ hour. And that’s before the #F35 deliveries. Think how much worse it will be after the #Turks have these top-of-the-line aircraft. https://t.co/RfExHqU5Ju Jun 10, 2018

My take on #TommyRobinson in @The_SavvyStreet after a day with him in Dec'17: "He is knowledgeable, draws a distinction between #Islam & #Islamism & is a leader.

Good to see the #FreeTommy campaign getting such strong support.

The US gov't cut $65mn from @UNRWA's budget, which was very satisfying. But UNRWA hopes to use this as a springboard to raise $800mn in new monies. (Not a typo.) So, cutting that money does not look like a tactical success. The "Palestine refugees" identity is the key problem. Feb 02, 2018

See my take on @MikePenceVP's #MidEast visit at @JNSworldnews: Pence had to endure long, boring, pro-forma lectures in #Egypt & #Jordan on #Jerusalem. In #Israel, he engaged in "tough bargaining between friends" to restart diplomacy w/the #Palestinians. https://t.co/Da0bdZFldI Jan 22, 2018

#Erdoğan sent Turkish forces into #Syria to take down the western Kurdish enclave of #Afrin. Me. It's a huge gamble that will likely fail. 1.

ICYMI: @SecureFreedom reports that an #Islamist speaker & his audience standing outside the #WhiteHouse on Dec. 16 both called #Erdoğan the "president of the #umma" & the "true leader of the umma." Me: That's an oblique way of calling him Islam's #caliph. https://t.co/rzGvBLpXP1 Jan 05, 2018

The revolt now underway in Iran (it's very serious & points to the eventual inevitability of regime collapse). 2. @MEForum's #Israel Victory Project, #IVP (the only way to end the #Palestinians' war on the #Jewish state & to resolve the #Arab-Israeli conflict). https://t.co/JPf4VYaDd5 Jan 05, 2018
1. So, during the #Iranian revolt in 2009, #Europe's leaders loudly condemned the regime's repression while #Obama skulked & said nothing, not wanting to jeopardize the #IranDeal. How to explain the reversal in 2018? #Trump boisterously supports the rebels while Europeans skulk. Jan 05, 2018
2. My take: As Americans found their voice, European governments sunk further under the weight of mercantilism, multiculturalism & mendacity. On the bright side, the wheel turns and extrapolation often leads to wrong conclusions. Jan 05, 2018

Interesting if true: US & #Israeli governments signed a secret deal on Dec. 12 to work together against #Iran in 4 areas, including nuclear weapons. Me: 1. If true, this marks a new peak in bilateral relations. 2. Will it mean taking out Iran's nukes? https://t.co/vnwoHywukY Dec 31, 2017
