In an interview with Haaretz in November 2010, British novelist Martin Amis said the following about discussions of Israel in his motherland: I live in a mildly anti-Semitic country, and Europe is mildly anti-Semitic, and they hold Israel to a higher moral standard than its neighbors. If you bring up Israel in a public meeting in England, the whole…
Israel has many passionate supporters on Capitol Hill, particularly on the Republican side of the aisle. These are men and women who are deeply committed to Israel and understand that Israel is the US’s only reliable ally in the Middle East and America’s most vital ally in the world today in light of the rise of radical Islamic regimes,…
In the Tribal Update’s final episode before tomorrow’s elections, we bring you an interview with President Shimon Peres who explains his decision to intervene for the Left in the campaign.

I have been out of the posting loop for the past couple of weeks so I apologize that it has taken me until now to post Latma’s latest shows. Here’s the Tribal Update from last week. It features an interview with former Shin Bet director Yuval Diskin, who like his colleagues on the Left who made careers in Israeli…
Chuck Hagel hates Jews. Or should I say, he hates Jews who think that Jews have rights and that their rights should be defended, in Israel by the government and the IDF, in America by Israel’s supporters. As I mentioned before, it is not at all surprising that Obama appointed Hagel, and I see little chance that the…

Click here to watch the video. Still according to the wise men in high places, like Israel’s President Shimon Peres, Fatah and its leader Mahmoud Abbas…
A couple of months ago, Latma launched a new show hosted by Avish Ivri, our content editor. It’s called Mishpat Ivri, which literally means, Hebrew Law, but I’ve dubbed his show in English “A Hebrew’s Word.” (Ivri, in Hebrew means “Hebrew.) His show is geared towards the domestic audience and so until now I haven’t really thought it was important…
By the time I began developing a political consciousness in the early 1980s, I didn’t have any choice but to be on the right side of the political spectrum. By the early 1980s, the political Left in the US had already abandoned support for Israel. When I grew up in what would later become Barack Obama’s neighborhood in…
Today the National Journal reported that Obama is reconsidering his decision to appoint Chuck Hagel Secretary of Defense. As I wrote in my previous post, there is no chance that Obama will appoint a supporter of a strong Israel to any senior foreign policy post because he wouldn’t appoint someone who doesn’t share his basic animosity towards Israel.…
For all my Christian friends, and for everyone concerned about the future of Christianity in the Middle East and Eurabia, here are Latma’s Christmas songs for your viewing pleasure and as food for thought to complement your egg nogs.
