The Future of terror: Michael Rubin interview with Intersec Magazine

April 25, 2012 – Robert de la Poer

As al-Qaeda’s influence grows, Dr. Michael Rubin tells Robert de la Poer that the Western countries must co-operate and continue to take the lead in the fight against Jihadist terrorists.

RP: Do you think there has been enough international co-ordination of law enforcement and intelligence efforts to attack the logistics and financing arms of Jihadist terrorist networks since 9/11? Who should be taking the lead in this fight?

MR: If there is one success story since 9/11, it has been the efforts to combat terror finance. If military action is sometimes akin to conducting surgery with an axe, efforts to dry up sources of funding are like wielding a scalpel.

Vi skal også lige høre, hvad Barry Rubin siger om præsident Obama:

What to Say When You’re Handed the Obama-Is-Good-for-Israel Talking Points

June 1, 2012 – by Barry Rubin

Many Americans, and particularly Jews, are starting to receive mailings encouraging them to vote for President Barack Obama or donate to his reelection campaign of  by arguing that he is pro-Israel. Several readers have asked me to provide them with responses. Here is a brief answer.

These emails and mailings, though designed to look as if they were written by concerned individuals, clearly draw their texts from talking points posted on the Obama reelection site. The arguments are very thin and selective but are presented as if they represent the totality of Obama policy.

The main arguments are:

Ufatteligt, at Dershowitz kan nå alt det, manden rent faktisk udretter. Døgnet har kun 24 timer, men Dershowitz trodser tilsyneladende naturlovene. Lidt af det nyeste:

Desuden ser man David Gergin og Suzanne Malveaux:
