Steve Emerson
might have had himself a lucrative career in law, or business, or
investment banking, like so many of his fellow Ivy League graduates. He
might have lived a comfortable life, constructed around convention and
financial security.
He didn't go in
that direction. He left Brown University in the late 70s and headed for
Washington, DC, armed with edgy skepticism of authority and a desire to
make a difference. He has made a big one.

Anat Berko began
her career researching the phenomenon of suicide terrorism while still
fulfilling her military career in Israel – a career that saw her rise to
the rank of lieutenant colonel. The daughter of Iraqi Jews who escaped to
Israel as refugees, she since has become one of the foremost experts on
the subject, advising NATO, the U.S. State Department, the FBI, Israel's
National Security Council, and others. As a result of her remarkable
work, including courageous interviews with would-be terrorists and women
who have aided suicide bombers, President Benjamin Netanyahu invited her
to run on Likkud's ticket. She was elected to the Knesset in 2015.

There
was Muneira, who planned to blow herself up at a hospital near Tel Aviv.
There was Jemilla, who escorted a young boy to his suicide bombing at a
market; he was excited he soon would be meeting girls in Paradise. And
there was Sabiha, who prepared explosives and trained other women to do
the same.
With
courage and compassion, Anat Berko, a criminologist and member of the
Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee of Israel's Knesset, interviewed
them all.

It's
been more than three weeks since the murderous shooting attack on
Toronto's Danforth Avenue, which is a famous outdoor dining location that
is also home to the city's Greek community. Canadians were understandably
horrified when they saw video images of 29-year-old Faisal Hussain
casually walking down the street and opening fire on people who were
doing nothing more than enjoying themselves on a Sunday evening. The
shooting continued as Hussain crisscrossed the street firing dozens of
shots from a handgun, which he repeatedly reloaded.

For
many years now, the New York Times has sanitized radical Islamic
groups, militant Islamic leaders and even Islamic terrorist attacks. The
paper has does this by deliberately omitting critical details that would
discredit Islamist groups. For example, the Times routinely
describes the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) as either
being a civil rights or a Muslim advocacy group. In reality, CAIR was
started as a front for Hamas and continues to serve as one. But over the
course of more than two decades, the Times has never reported on
any of the many government documents and official transcripts that prove
CAIR's role as a front group for Hamas.
