For most of my life I had nightmares of being in an airliner crash. These dreams stopped about ten years ago, even though I’m still terrified of flying. Paris Match has published a description of a cellphone video taken by a passenger on Germanwings Flight 9525, which the copilot deliberately crashed in the mountains near…
An Interview with Kola Boof, one of my favorite writers
March 29, 2024
An interview with Kola Boof, a writer who dedicated her autobiography to the Atlantic Ocean. Tell me about Undefeated: A North African Writer’s Support for Israel. You said it’s very personal. What do you mean by that? This book is personal because of my lifelong desire to see the Arab Muslim empire lose control of…
The concept of racism has lost all meaning
March 28, 2024
Words are supposed to have definitions. One way in which those with nefarious agendas control the steaming masses is by flinging accusations in all directions, hoping to cow dissenters into silence. For years now, there’s been racism behind every tree and under every rock. It took a Twitter user to drive home the point that…
I’m still not ready to post
March 26, 2024
Tonight I wanted to post about Palestinian female combatants, but I’m still not ready.

I’ll write the post tomorrow. You’ll be sickened. As always, I have the evidence. Israelis, you need to demand that…
You’re making it hard for me to care about you
March 23, 2024
On March 20, 2015, the Islamic State used three suicide bombers to kill about 137 Shi’ite worshipers at their mosques in Sanaa, Yemen. Initially I was horrified. That sense of outrage has diminished somewhat. I want to tell my Muslim brothers and sisters that you’re making it hard for me to care about you. This…
Flamethrowers! For Ellie
March 22, 2024
A post about flamethrowers dedicated to Ellie Kesselman, who brought my attention to this. It uses gasoline (petrol), and has a range of 26 feet (8 meters.) The flamethrower was first used by the Greeks in AD 673 to burn Muslim warships besieging Constantinople. This weapon consisted of a metal tube that sprayed what was…
