Dontcha know, the migrant always gets through! Two obvious counter-examples, however, are Israel and Australia. Israel is tricky to demonize for obvious... Read More

You may have wondered why, outside of my repetitious drumbeat, there has been so little comment on how the Gulf Arabs aren't spending their money to help their Muslim brethren in need.
