Helen Thomas and the Damour Massacre
The following post, one of hundreds, perhaps thousands recently posted on Atlas Shrugged, expresses the state of American society after 15 months of the Obama presidency – many of our so called intellectuals, our so called liberal universities, and many in the Jewish community who blindly supported ...Read More...

Iraq's Normal State of Affairs
Regarding the Iraqi civil war between Sunni and Shia (whether or not we want to call it that), there is no end in sight nor will there be after the last American soldier leaves. This is a frank assessment of how little the rest of the world actually cares about the continuing atrocities and ...Read More...

Letter to the Editor of the Orlando Sentinel
Certainly, this month’s article by “Anonymous” on the selectivity, bias and machinations of the Associated Press and Reuters figures as one of the most revealing, informative and shocking items to have appeared in New English Review – and that is saying quite a bit! Read and ...Read More...

Don�t Cry for Me Argentina
by Geoffrey Clarfield (April 2010)
I am looking out across the Rio Plata, the widest river in the world. In the distance I can make out the shores of Uruguay, more than two hundred miles away. The river is light brown. I am told it is a shallow river with hardly a wave or ripple, as far as ...Read More...

Last Night�s Concert
Yesterday evening, I attended a concert at The Bob Carr Concert Hall in downtown Orlando, a short walk from my home. The featured performance was Itzhak Perlman’s playing Beethoven’s Concerto for Violin in D major, op.61. The sell out audience of 4,000 was entranced and moved. To me, it ...Read More...

The Tarnished Peace Prize
President Obama’s feigned humility stands in blinding contrast to the true modesty of Hank Aaron following his lifetime achievement of surpassing Babe Ruth’s home run record. Aaron, like other Black stars deserve to be recalled by their elevation of American culture to world-wide prominence, ...Read More...

The Emperor�s New Clothes
Nidra Poller is already the 2010 version of a female Emile Zola and her J’accuse against Barack Obama will stand the test of time like the French writer’s condemnation of anti-semitism. Never before in our history has so much good will across the racial divide been wasted by so many ...Read More...

A Surrealistic Delusion
The “whirlwind” program featuring a group of 28 imams and rabbis from 10 European countries who arrived for visits to interfaith centers to “break new ground” (there really isn’t any old ground) on Muslim-Jewish relations and combat Islamophobia and anti-Semitism in each ...Read More...

The Queen and Our Presidents
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark is one of the few Western heads of state and certainly the only European monarch who has had the courage to warn her fellow countrymen not to tolerate certain behavior which some immigrant Muslims display. She has done this without any euphemisms or the standard political ...Read More...

Black Icons Then and Now
For a majority of American “whites”, one decisive factor in the success of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and support for the epoch making legislation following the death of President Kennedy was simply the recognition and admission of historical wrongs. Beyond that however, was ...Read More...

The Japanese Train Station
A Jew from the tiny village (shtetl) of Zalecie was sent by his firm to Osaka. He arrived at the local station and said to the station attendant “I want to buy a ticket for Osaka”.
Station attendant : "I don’t know where that is. Go to Warsaw and ask there!”

Time To End Jewish Guilt and Masochism
All signs of public opinion in Israel show renewed confidence in the Israeli Army and its code of ethics designed to spare civilian casualties WHEN AT ALL POSSIBLE and a rising support for a victory for Bibi Netanyahu and his right wing allies in the coming Israeli elections. The crocodile tears shed ...Read More...

Ask Not For Whom The Bell Tolls
The word fida’i (pl. fida’iyin) from the Arabic is “one who sacrifices himself.“ The “mujihadin” are those who carry out “holy war” (jihad) from the common root J-H-D for the extension of Islam throughout the world. The two terms are in common use ...Read More...

Conference of Presidents Disinvites Governor Palin

"Your decision to dis-invite governor Palin is the most obvious act of Jewish self-debasement in my lifetime”.

The Politics Of Envy
Why the Democrats Silenced Enquiries about Senator Kerry’s wife’s Fortune of $500,000,000 but are obsessed with Cindy McCain’s wealth and several homes.

A Baseball Analogy
For all those who follow baseball with a passion, the current political drama of the 2008 Presidential Electoral campaign offers numerous and obvious points of coincidence. The one that comes most to mind is that of the brilliant “rookie” switch-hitter, Barack H. Obama whose eloquence, demeanor, ...Read More...

Sweden And Denmark
Few neighboring countries were at war so often with each other from the Middle Ages until the end of the Protestant reformation as Sweden and Denmark--in much the same way as France and Germany from Napoleonic times until World War II. For most Americans this comes as a surprise, since both countries ...Read More...

Medved�s Five Points and The Hand of the Mahdi
Only fourteen years after the death of British General Charles George "Chinese" Gordon in 1885 near Khartoum, and the loss of his 7,000 loyal Egyptian and Sudanese troops at the hands of the followers of the religious fanatic “Mahdi”, Muhammad Ahmad, Winston Churchill wrote….……

Stormy Applause For Molotov
I recently came across the full text on the internet of Molotov's speech to the Supreme Soivet following the Hitler-Stalin Non-Aggression Pact of August 1939 and found one redeeming point in it. I and many others despair at the current unrelenting villification of America and Israel. Many ...Read More...

Final Remarks on Esperanto and a Real Answer to a Rhetorical Question
At the risk of turning the fine wine of a good debate into the bitter vinegar of an overly contentious subject (Esperanto with 28 citations on the statistical information of The Iconoclast), allow me to make a final statement to those who still have an open mind.
Mary Jackson’s latest remark ...Read More...

Esperanto Is A Living Language
Mary Jackson has kindly posted a video by Claude Piron, one of the most distinguished Esperanto authors, a psychologist and U.N. interpreter who is an outstanding linguist. I urge all NER readers to watch it in spite of Mary's apparent belief that it supports her arguments that trivialize and mock Esperanto ...Read More...

Re: Nearer my Quetzalcoatl to thee
"Allah is a very beautiful word for God. Shouldn't we all say that from now on we will name God Allah? ... What does God care what we call him? It is our problem." --from the article linked by Robert here and commented on by Hugh here
Yes, this is a brilliant solution. After all, what's ...Read More...

Anyone waiting with bated breath for a BBC retraction or correction of announcer Lyse Ducett's horrendous hundredfold magnification of Lebanese dead in last summer's conflcit between Hizbollah and Israel ("100,000 , mostly civilians" as she astutely emphasized) in yesterday's (Aug. ...Read More...
