When most people hear the word “Palestine” they immediately think “occupation” and “oppression.” People imagine that Palestinians are the most impoverished people in the world, living in ramshackle refugee camps—not because their own leaders have stolen their money and forced them into endless war with Israel—but because Israel, is allegedly, a “colonialist,” “apartheid,” and “Nazi” [...]
A couple in Toledo gets arrested for aiding Hizballah, and it’s Hooper’s job on behalf of Hamas-linked CAIR to remind the media who the real victims are here. “Arrests ‘frustrate’ area Muslims,” by Claudia Boyd-Barrett for the Toledo Blade, June 4: Local Muslim leaders reacted cautiously Thursday to news…
Another chapter opens in the Toledo Jihad saga. So, was it Mud Hens fans bored during the 7th inning stretch? Or disgruntled locals tired of only being known by out-of-towners for the Mud Hens? Or were they Tigers fans who gave up on life after that blown call? No, you…
