“Susan Rice” on The Daily Caller

Princeton professor emeritus Richard Falk rejected Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz’s debate challenge over a book that Falk endorsed and that Dershowitz has called “blatantly anti-Semitic.” (more)

Women advocates, both liberal and conservative, are frustrated by the media’s fascination with the narrative that for the first time in American history, women, not men, were supposedly key in pushing for the use of military force against a foreign government. (more)

Earlier this week, The Daily Beast’s Howard Kurtz took a shot at the media’s coverage of the Libya intervention and suggested that the media as a whole were not taking a skeptical enough assessment of the intervention. On Thursday morning, ABC’s Jake Tapper took somewhat of an exception to the charge the media weren’t doing their job. In an appearance on the Fox Business Network’s “Imus in the Morning,” Tapper offered two examples of such skepticism. (more)

With the Egyptian protests dominating the news for weeks, some are wondering where America’s ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, has been. (more)

Among the $200 billion in spending cuts recommended — when the co-chairs of President Obama’s deficit commission dropped their draft proposal out of nowhere into an unsuspecting post-election political scene on Wednesday — are some very politically charged items. (more)

The British Foreign Office has been taking the blame for this betrayal of Israel, but they’re claiming they were as surprised as anyone.

U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice has been on the job for 18 months now, but she doesn’t have much to show for it.  Her record of accomplishments and performance on behalf of the American people is embarrassing.  While Rice has been active in the social scene of Washington and The White House, a study released by the uber-serious non-profit group Security Council Report suggests that the past year has been the most inactive Security Council since 1991.  Rice missed crucial negotiations on Iran’s continued enrichment of uranium, she failed to speak out when Iran was elected to the Commission on the Status of Women and three other UN Committees, she failed to call-out Libya when they were elected to the UN’s Human Rights Council, she recently delivered an Iran sanctions resolution with the least support Iran resolutions have ever had and she called her one and only press conference with the UN Secretary General on the issue of texting while driving.  For an administration that promised to utilize the UN and improve our reputation around the world, its dinner party circuit strategy isn’t making America more secure. (more)

Israel has announced the formation of its own commission to investigate last month’s seizure of an aid flotilla attempting to break the country’s blockade on Hamas-controlled Gaza. The operation resulted in the deaths of nine passengers, though Israel maintains that the deaths only occurred because the activists threatened the lives of the soldiers attempting to board one of the boats. The United Nations has expressed a desire for an internationally led inquiry into the incident, but Israel has refused to acquiesce to the body’s request thus far; instead, Israel maintains that its own commission’s report will be sufficient.
