A former Palestinian terrorist who took part in attacks against Israelis in the mid-1970s has now become a vocal pro-Israel Christian activist in the United States as part of his "repentance" for his past actions.

“We laugh at honor, and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.” C.S. Lewis made that comment many years ago. He had a point there. We have made fun of honorable people, respect for life, all things good, decent and civil, yet we are surprised to wake up and find our country has so little left of honor. (The news carried another story last week about one who lacked honor being arrested as a traitor.) Having just earlier read the words Mr. Lewis had spoken, I arrived for the Saturday morning counter of the leftist elitists. As bad luck...

Former CAIR Member PleadsGuilty to Terrorism Charges By Andrew L. Jaffee, January 19, 2004 Home Search Forum Terms The Council on American Islamic Relations' (CAIR) ties to terrorism just keep getting more and more obvious. We're not talking accusations and indictments anymore. Now a former CAIR member has pled guilty to terrorism charges. According to FOXNews.com last Friday, CAIR's former Communications Specialist and Civil Rights Coordinator, Randall Todd "Ismail" Royer, pled guilty to involvement with the Kashmiri terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, ties to Afghanistan's Taliban, connections to Chechnya's terrorists, and last but not least, involvement with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network. Specific indictments...

The Losses That May Save UsDaniel Gordis When David Ben Gurion met the philosopher Isaiah Berlin in December 1950, the Prime Minister apparently didn't make much of an impression. Berlin, his biographer Michael Ignatieff reports, thought Ben Gurion a "peasant leader -- rough, ruthless, and cunning." And Isaiah Berlin, apparently, did not consider that description a compliment. In some ways, though, it's surprising that Berlin was so dismissive of Ben Gurion. After all, it was Berlin himself who pointed to the fact that in "real life," ideology and practice cannot always come together neatly. In Berlin's own words, "Some of...

Although support for the older operating systems was due to end shortly, Microsoft has announced that it will be extended. Microsoft has extended support for Windows 98, Windows 98 SE and Windows ME.

Support for the Windows 98 family of operating systems was scheduled to end on Friday, with support for Windows ME due to expire in December this year. "Microsoft made this decision to assist...

<p>THE FLAP over two political ads comparing President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler, which were submitted to a "Bush in 30 Seconds" contest sponsored by the liberal MoveOn.org Voter Fund and were briefly hosted on the group's website, has gotten a lot of press (courtesy of outraged Republicans). Unfortunately, this is only one in a rich crop of Hitler and Nazi analogies littering the landscape of so-called public discourse these days. And this particularly vile rhetorical device is, alas, an equal-opportunity offense. There is a lot of back-and-forth between Republicans and Democrats on whether MoveOn bears any responsibility for the ads (one of which cuts back and forth between images of Bush and Hitler, using alleged quotes from Bush and a soundtrack from a Hitler speech). Conservatives portray this as a scandal exemplifying the degree to which the Democratic opposition has been hijacked by hate-filled loony radicals. Liberals counter that the real scandal is the right's brazen distortion of the facts.</p>
