Turning round a story is one of the most difficult tasks in journalism – and rarely more so than in the case of Iran. Iran, the dark revolutionary Islamist menace. Shia Iran, protector and manipulator of World Terror, of Syria and Lebanon and Hamas and Hezbollah. Ahmadinejad, the Mad Caliph. And, of course, Nuclear Iran, preparing to destroy Israel in a mushroom cloud of anti-Semitic hatred,...

No, I'm not kidding. Over at UC Berkeley, Muslim students and were holding an anti-Israel “Apartheid Week” demonstration sanctioned by the university and conducted by the Muslim Student Association, Students for Justice in Palestine and their assorted leftist allies on campus in 2010. For anyone who's never been to these little gatherings, they feature anti-Semitic,inflammato...

If this Republican field was a Henny Youngman bit it would go something like: Take this GOP field - please! Anti-Semitic or global hatred link(s) of the day with a 2012 presidential election flavor! Although the global anti-Semitism/hatred link was going to be confined to one a day as an add-on to another topic, today it needed to be extended. Due to the fact that Ron Paul is polling so well in Io...

"There is none so blind, as those who will not see!" Ray Stevens, "Everything is beautiful" The Political Commentator will attempt to provide a daily link to an article that describes anti-Semitic or anti-Jewish activity from somewhere around the world. For Jews everywhere, these articles will hopefully serve as a reminder that anti-Semitism is, and will remain, a clear and present danger for the ...

Is this a case of Jews being overly sensitive or a legitimate gripe against an anti-Semitic billboard? At first blush I thought the ADL was just lacking a sense of humor with its claims that this billboard from Wodka vodka in Manhattan was "crude and offensive" and that it "reinforces anti-Semitic stereotypes." But then I noted the two pictures of dogs, one wearing a Santa Claus hat and the other ...

An excellent video by Bill Whittle that shows exactly how this dynamic works. One small error..he mixes up Hamas and Hezbollah at the 2:25 mark. One slight quibble. To me the Nazis were and are a movement of the Left, so rather than red-brown-green alliance ( the green being Islam) I see it as simply red and green. Important to remember that 'Nazi' is shorthand for the party's offic...

The foreign secretary says the World Conference on Racism "should not be celebrated" because of the "anti-Semitic atmosphere in which it was held".

President Obama celebrated his 50th birthday with a barbecue in the Rose Garden. Among the celebrities who attended were Stevie Wonder, who the president doubtless remembers from the days when they both appeared as part of Louis Farrakhan's anti-Semitic Million Man March; Herbie Hancock, Jay-Z, Hill Harper, Chris Rock, Charles Barkley, Steve Harvey, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Grant Hill, and ...

I've long been aware that Norway is one of the most anti-Semitic countries in Europe, but this is a rather unique bit of supremely ugly hypocrisy. In an interview with the Israeli daily Maariv, Norway's ambassador to Israel Svein Sevje patiently explained that he wanted to "outline the similarity and the difference in the two cases." Palestinians, the ambassador told Maariv, "are doing t...

A proposed circumcision ban on the November ballot in San Francisco is being driven some Nazi-like forces of anti-Semitic supporters Repeat: That's a circumcision ban for the entire City of San Francisco regardless of religious laws that might mandate otherwise. The proponents of the law will tell you that such a ban has nothing to do with any anti-Semitic agenda, but is to protect "human rig...
