The Gaza flotilla: It’s really about Israel

The new, improved Gaza Flotilla—which includes more anti-Israel fools than you can shake a lulav at—doesn’t care that the Rafah crossing is going to be opened. They’re going anyway. “We shall set sail, we have many surprises in store,” IHH … Continue reading

Really, Friedman’s just embarrassing now

If you read Tom Friedman, you have to wonder: Does he know how idiotic he sounds? I’m thinking not. May I suggest a Tahrir Square alternative? Announce that every Friday from today forward will be “Peace Day,” and have thousands … Continue reading

Looks like the assholes at Move Over AIPAC don’t want their email address scraped by spambots. Oops. Pass it on. (This is why I don’t write for, oh, Commentary. Unlike Omri, I can’t stamp out my tendency to be evil.)

Wednesday afternoon briefs

The Iranian power struggle, cont’d: Pass the popcorn. Khameini and Mad Mahmoud are still at it. Whichever one wins, it’s a win for Iran’s enemies. Woot! Your daily dose of anti-Israel bias: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Blah, blah, blah. Netanyahu, bad, … Continue reading

Your Thursday news roundup

And yet, the word “intolerance” is not paired with “Muslim”: The AP covers Israel’s dwindling Armenian Christian population without really mentioning the elephant in the room except in vague, generalized terms. Although the article does point out that when Jordan … Continue reading

Roger Cohen: a man who rarely misses an opportunity to miss a point

A person is rarely a master of his associative thinking. At least I am not in control of my own wild and willful one. Why is that each time I see the picture of Roger Cohen, the venerable columnist of … Continue reading

On the interconnectedness of it all… to Zionists

When you think that The Guardian cannot get any lower that it already got to regarding Israel… scratch it. I know that I’ve already used this sentence more than once. I also know that no matter when this sentence is … Continue reading

Happy 10th

I have written before about my evolution as a blogger. But that was mostly a history of the media I used. Not the activism I practiced. I guess it started in 1987, when I got my first letter to the … Continue reading

Religion of Peace™ roundup

No, really, Islam is tolerant of other religions: Indonesian police found a 330-pound bomb underneath a gas line near a church. Think of the extra deviousness of placing the bomb next to a gas line. The death toll during this … Continue reading

Juvenile scorn and the Marrickville Israel boycott

Some wit in Australia has an excellent editorial about the Marrickville town council’s stupendously stupid effort to boycott Israeli products (at the cost of $3.7 million Australian). Kudos to the author, to whom I grant an honorary Master of Juvenile … Continue reading

Thursday news roundup

Goldstone commision to Israel: Oh, please. The fix was in, deal with it. Three of Dickie Goldstone’s compatriots took out an unpaid ad in the Guardian to effectively say, “Neener neener neener, we’re not wro-ong! Am not am not am … Continue reading

Gee, boycotting Israel costs a lot of money!

Reality sets in: An Australian town council voted to boycott Israel, and did the number-crunching of what it would cost to replace “Israeli” products with something else: $3.7 million (and even in Australian dollars, that’s a lot). It’s being inundated … Continue reading

Gaza Flotilla, the sequel: The second time, definitely not farce

The blockade has eased. Gazans can get pretty much everything they want except, of course, for weapons and building materials for bunkers. Building material is going into Gaza. Is some of it being diverted to bunkers? Of course it is. … Continue reading

Judge Goldstone: the man or the role?

Several widely diverse discussions of Judge Richard Goldstone’s personality were already published in the media, and there will surely be more. The aftershock of the WaPo article Reconsidering the Goldstone Report on Israel and war crimes caused an about turn … Continue reading

My Reaction to Goldstone and Rosenberg

I have been more than a bit infuriated by the left’s reaction to Richard Goldstone’s statement that Israel did not intentionally target civilians during Operation Cast Lead. In fact, I wrote two articles about it for We Are For Israel. … Continue reading
