Splitters

The Judean People's Front and the People's Front of Judea have no desire to live in the secular State of Israel, which is presumably why they don't.

The Raed Salah-supporting inhabitants of Umm al-Fahm have no desire to live under the Palestinian Authority, as they have made abundantly clear.

Is it possible that each should have been asked the other's question? Saying all that needs to be said, both about the true character of Zionism, and about the true nature of Palestinian national aspirations.

The rise of political Islam in Europe is real enough, but I am not aware that any member of a Parliament sitting at London, Paris or The Hague has ever called for that city to become the capital of the Caliphate.

  1. In threatening to nuke Iran, Israel is treating the Shia in the best tradition of Sayyid Qutb and making it clear who is the leader of global Islamism.

  2. The only country, unless I am very much mistaken, to include an entire city run according to Qutb's teachings.

    I think that you are onto something.
