Just over four years ago, I wrote that Jews were fleeing Europe again for the first time since WWII. Unbelievably, it’s getting worse: exponentially worse. Even more unbelievably, it’s getting worse as a direct result of the worst massacre of Jews since WWII. It’s as if the
There is simply no denying that anti-Semitism is spreading like a virulent plague across the West.

There may have been more outright venal popes than the current one, but when it comes to sheer cretinous stupidity, Pope Francis is in a league of his own. At least John XII had the feeble excuse of being a teenager (which is to say, stupid, arrogant and hormonally impulsive)
Was Kurtz onto something? In the doom-laden climax of Heart of Darkness, the malaria-deranged Kurtz utters his famous dying words, The horror! The horror! Exterminate all the brutes! UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps recently pointed out an obvious fact that completely escapes the modern left antisemites bellowing for a ceasefire:
If you needed no other argument against lowering the voting age — in fact, if you want an argument for raising the voting age — you need only look at Melbourne yesterday. It was like a scene out of Triumph of the Will, with keffiyehs in place of brown shirts. Hundreds of
