What’s holding the Arab world back? Why, by nearly every measure, are Muslim nations so far behind the West economically, culturally and scientifically? Bret Stephens, former columnist for the Wall Street Journal, explains.

Bret Stephens
On Palestinian Statehood
For the past year Bret Stephens has expended an enormous amount of time and energy bashing Donald Trump. But Stephens must know that only Donald Trump would appoint David Friedman, a Torah observant Jew and proud Zionist, as America’s new ambassador to Israel. Stephens must also understand that only Donald Trump would bring Jared Kushner, another Torah observant Jew and proud Zionist, into the White House as a senior advisor.
No matter how much Stephens abhors Trump he must realize that Trump is good for Israel—very good for Israel—and what is good for Israel is good for America because America and Israel share the exact same values.
Stephens takes time off from Donald to author an excellent article about the dangerous delusion of a Palestinian state.
Islam and the Radical West
Not too long ago, my wife Karen and I were watching a news program where the phrase “Islamic radicalization” was used by various talking heads as an explanation for mass murder committed by IslamoNazis.
The intellectually lazy pundits made it seem as if some nice middle class boys and girls were cruising the internet and bam! they got all IslamoNazi and then, of course, murdered a bunch of innocent men, women and children.
The corruption of language moves in tandem with the hatred of America/Israel that is the defining characteristic of postmodern liberalism.
Radical Islam nourishes itself with the cultural obsessions of the radical left — the dominant ideology/religion of the secular West.
Palestine: The Psychotic Stage
Bret Stephens at the WSJ dares to call the so-called Palestinians evil.
If you’ve been following the news from Israel, you might have the impression that “violence” is killing a lot of people. As in this headline: “Palestinian Killed As Violence Continues.” Or this first paragraph: “Violence and bloodshed radiating outward from flash points in Jerusalem and the West Bank appear to be shifting gears and expanding, with Gaza increasingly drawn in.”
ObamaCare for Arabia
The democrat party would like nothing better than for the media to keep talking about Donald Trump, the Confederate flag, Bruce Caitlyn Jenner, or any other nonsense with which the radical left obsesses in their quest for ideological purity. What they don’t want to talk about is the Obama-Kerry surrender to Iran. Because when they do talk about it, they have to lie extravagantly in order to put lipstick on the pig.
Just as Obama lied about ObamaCare, he and his goose-steppers are lying about their treacherous deal with Iran which insures Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons.
In today’s WSJ Bret Stephens writes about the Iran deal’s collapsing rationale.
