The Times’ moral equivalency on Gilad Shalit

Friday Israel briefs

Ah, the lovely sound of Palestinian terrorists hating on each other: Looks like there’s trouble in prison over the swap. It seems that most of the West Bank terrorists will be heading to other places (and other countries), while most … Continue reading

The long weekend make-up briefs

Name one other religion that has to do things like this: 1,000-year-old Torah scrolls from Syria had to be smuggled out, one by one, in order to preserve our Jewish heritage from those who would deny and destroy it—like the … Continue reading

I’m going to score this one a win, even if I have some quibbles with it. The AP really seems to be working towards being an objective media source. At least, sometimes. (Thanks, Soccerdad!) They fact-checked Abbas’ ass, and he … Continue reading

Dueling speeches: Abbas v. Netanyahu

Jonathan Tobin has a compare-and-contrast analysis of Mahmoud Abbas’ speech, followed by Bibi Netanyahu’s. In a nutshell: Abbas lied, Palestine died. You can hear (or read) for yourself. A year ago, at this same time, distinguished leaders in this hall … Continue reading
