Unlikely Ally

Following my rebuttal of Mobius’ post in which he expresses extreme scepticism as to the veracity of the Arutz Sheva story about Arabs leaders in Hebron approaching Jews to help them get rid of the ISMers, an unlikely ally has emerged. Enter Muslim blogger Jihad of Umar: Arutz Sheva is a racist and ignorant group; but the [...]

Shmuley Reacts

As predicted, Shmuley Boteach has come out with a statement in the wake of his ex-friend’s latest episode of unbridled wackiness. I have watched in sadness the tragic and catastrophic decline of Michael Jackson since disowning him more than four years ago. But even I never believed that he would fall so low as to [...]

The Torts Case and the Hare

What’s up with this guy, doc? Rabbits case gets stranger still   His love of animals, which landed him in jail on cruelty charges, intensified after reading Genesis in the Bible.   It became stronger still after he studied Eastern and South American mysticism. He travelled the world exploring ancient cultures, delving into the concept [...]

Israellycool Meets Jewsweek

Jewsweek have a story on the Jewish corner of the blogosphere, including a few words of wisdom from yours truly.  Rebbitzins, olim, and chassids, oh my!   The Jewish blogosphere is a many-faceted universe expanding at warp-speed and here’s what we have to say about it.   Andy Warhol was right when he wrote in the [...]

Out with the Anarchists

Arutz Sheva report that Arabs in Hebron have actually approached Jewish leaders about a problem that has arisen. Arab leaders in Hevron have contacted the city’s Jewish leaders for help in getting rid of self-proclaimed anarchist volunteers who, they complain, are destroying their traditional way of life.    The anarchists, many of whom are members [...]

Good News from Iraq Australia

Here is some promising news from the Land Down Under. When 120 students of Muslim, Christian and Jewish faiths came together yesterday, the talk was not just about religion but Australia’s soccer success against Uruguay and Australian Idol. At lunchtime, 40 year 11 students, wearing hijabs (Muslim headscarves), Christian crosses and the kippa (Jewish skullcap), [...]

New Feature: Israeli News Briefs

In election-related news   Following in the footsteps of Open Source Media, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s new party has been registered as Kadima (“Forward”), after initially being called Ahrayut Leumit (“National Responsiblity”). After proclaiming that he “can move an entire country forward” (i.e kadima), Foreign Minister/Deputy Prime Minister/Likud Leadership Candidate Silvan Shalom lauds the trait of [...]

More Israeli Media Gaffs

The Israeli media coverage of Michael Jackson’s latest insanity just gets worse and worse.   Leaving aside the fact that Ynet, Ha’aretz, and the Jerusalem Post were all embarassingly late on this story (I blogged about it over three hours before any of them reported it), as well as Ynet’s plagiarism, now we have Ha’aretz [...]

Lifting from Other Sources

Following my recent post on Michael Jackson’s anti-Semitic rant, Ynet have published an article on the same topic. And I suspect that Ynet have actually lifted it from me. Oh, the arrogance of the man, I hear some of you scoff. And you may be right. After all, Ynet are a large media outfit, and [...]

Jacko and the Joooooooos

The fading skin..the shrinking nose. It sure looks like Michael Jackson has tried to become “white” over the years. Now, it seems like he is making the leap to “white supremacist.” Michael Jackson picked a familiar target to blame for his mounting money problems – the Jews.   In phone messages obtained by ABC News, [...]
