(Also in The American Spectator’s Pursuit of Liberty series: Daniel Johnson’s “Storks Are Landing,” Fouad Ajami’s “Liberty for Strangers,” Natan Sharansky and Rod Dermer’s “The Case for Freedom,” and Victor Davis Hanson’s “Armies for Democracy — Past, Present, and Future.” To read the first five essays in the series, please click here.)

Israpundit is entirely dependent on readers support. Please help me continue educating people with the truth about what is going on in Israel and around the world.
