TOCS, “Tilting At Lebanon” At 4:30pm, US Security Assistance, Iranian Engagement, Turkey In Free Fall, Etc.
Today’s show is going to be a followup and update to last week’s Lebanon episode, focusing this time on the political and military controversies swirling around Lebanese security assistance. It’s now beyond dispute that the sniper rifles and personnel carriers used during Lebanon’s unprovoked act of war came from the United States, a consequence of [...] -
NYT Slams “Master Manipulator” Netanyahu, Ignores Abbas’s Pro-Terrorism High School Graduation Ceremony [Video]
First the unremarkable, banal, veritably quotidian spectacle of Israel’s moderate partner in peace glorifying mass murderers. Palestinian President Abbas publicly mourned the death of Munich massacre mastermind Abu Daoud. He personally honored the three terrorists who murdered Rabbi Meir Avshalom Hai, an Israeli father of seven. He repeatedly celebrated Dalal Mughrabi, who murdered 13 Israeli [...] -
State Department: Hey, You Don’t Think Lebanon Used American Weapons To Attack Israel, Do You?
Buried in an article about Congressional grumpiness directed at security assistance to the LAF, a real head-scratcher: A State Department official said that the US is still trying to ascertain the facts regarding the incident, including whether there’s any truth behind reports that the LAF troops used American-issued guns. “We consistently review all of our security [...] -
Photos Confirm Lebanon Used American Weapons To Attack Israel
There are entire books to be written about why media outlets – as opposed to identifying what’s going on in photographs – have taken to filling their captions with brazenly false anti-Israel disinformation. Journalistic institutions have ossified, with a hard left partisan mentality developing at the top and fewer resources to go around at the [...] -
TOCS, “Lebanese Complicity” At 4:30pm, Lebanon’s Border Ambush, US Security Assistance, UNIFIL, Etc.
There were some mildly positive murmurs about last week’s schedule change to Friday, so we’re going to try it for one more week before deciding on whether to move things back to Wednesday. Unsurprisingly, this week’s show is going to be about Lebanon’s attack on the IDF, and about the elements in the LAF trying [...] -
Did Lebanon Use American Weapons To Attack Israel?
Say what you will about our foreign policy pseudo-sophisticates, but when they commit to counterproductive policies grounded in incoherent assumptions, they stay committed. Whether they’re pushing public diplomacy apology tours to the Muslim world to “spread the truth about American values” or pimping concessions to Iran to split Khamenei from the hardliners, never are repeated [...] -
After Lebanon Border Ambush, Reuters First Out Of The Gate With Demonstrably False Anti-Israel Propaganda
Here’s what happened this morning along the so-called Blue Line, the internationally recognized UN-codified border between Israel and Lebanon. Israeli soldiers were trimming trees and clearing brush as they routinely do, because that kind of natural cover has been used by Iranian-backed Hezbollah soldiers to kidnap Israelis and start wars. Behind them there was a [...] -
TOCS, “Offensive Diplomacy” At 4:30pm, More Anti-Israel WH Diplomacy, Crisis In Egypt, Etc.
Consider today’s show something of a followup to Wednesday’s regularly scheduled episode. There was one segment on UK/Turkey and on Cameron’s disastrous Ankara gambit, and since then news has trickled out directly linking the White House to that wretched little spectacle. That segment included a bit on how breathtakingly unremarkable quotidian Muslim entitlement has become [...] -
Weekly TOCS, “Anglo Appeasement” At 6:30pm PDT, Cameron In Turkey, Obama On Proximity Talks, Etc.
We’re back on our regular schedule this week, with the promise of an additional show some time tomorrow to round out the month. Today’s top story – after we get through the opening segment and what promises to be a barn burner of an Iran segment – is Cameron’s anti-Western, anti-Israel obsequiousness in Ankara. He [...] -
Hamas Cracking Down On Un-Islamic Panties
The word you’re looking for is pathological, from the Greek pathos meaning “suffering,” logia meaning “study,” and ical meaning totally batshit crazy: The Islamist rulers of the Gaza Strip have ordered lingerie shops to display more modesty… the Hamas-run police force has told stores selling women’s underwear to remove scantily-clad mannequins and any posters of racy [...] -
Sunday Cute – Tiger Cubs Are Kind Of Cute
I’m posting this first set from the Jerusalem Zoo because (a) it’s an exquisite park with nary a bar nor fence, even inside the birds of prey exhibit, and you should know that and (b) I’m insanely jealous of the keeper, and I’d like you to share that frustration. Via ZooBorns, where you can [...] -

Highlights, lowlights, links, and appreciation for leftist humanitarians from the Mere Rhetoric Twitter stream: Goldstone on the case no doubt | RT @BreakingNews: Sudan army says 300+ Darfur rebels killed in recent days http://bit.ly/aA4eMD Always touching to see left get outraged re "implicit" antisemitism from Coulter, Beck, etc while excusing genocidal Iran, Hezbollah, etc Europe’s new emphasis on [...] -
Merely Tweeted, “The Real JournoList Scandal…” Edition
Highlights, lowlights, links, and “can you believe these tools”-type comments from the Mere Rhetoric Twitter stream: The real journolist scandal is that elite reporters are very enamored with themselves despite being, ya know, blistering morons Comparing rhetoric/style on "JournoList," "DKos comments section," and "activist stoner dorm room" – not striking in dissimilarity Classy. @attackerman indulging in impotent revenge [...] -
TOCS, “Listing Media” at 10:00am PDT, JournoList, Passports Again, Human Rights Double Standards, Etc.
As promised we’re back this morning, with the show scheduled to start in just under an hour. Also as promised, today’s episode is going to be heavy on media bias, from the JournoList leaks about liberal foreign policy thinking to this pointed confirmation of the international media’s anti-Israel double standards. Just the rundown of things [...] -
TOCS Returns Thursday With Back-To-Back Episodes
It’s going to be one more day before One Jerusalem Radio’s TOCS returns to the air, but starting tomorrow morning we’ll have back-to-back episodes, one on Thursday and one on Friday. I’m still nailing down the exact times but I think we’ll be on the air both days around 10am PDT. I’ll post more details [...]
