The latest Israellycool Podcast (#51) is now up on my podcast site. Or you can access it directly here: On this week’s show, I cover a lot of ground, including the UN’s disgraceful stance against Israel, some interesting poll results from the US, Yigal Amir’s nookie visit rights, and Mel Gibson’s interview with Diane Sawyer. And [...]
Another foreign press photographer has reportedly been kidnapped by palestinian terrorists. Palestinian gunmen kidnapped an Associated Press photographer in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, grabbing him as he walked out of his apartment and whisking him away in their vehicle, a witness said. Emilio Morenatti, 37, the photographer, was heading out of his apartment [...]
I’m flying to Europe on business, so I’ll be out of blogging business for at least the next 24 hours. The good news is that I may just be able to crank out a podcast from my hotel room. Take this post as an open thread for you to discuss in the comments anything [...]
Wow. You have to hand it to Omri. The boy can write. Besides his latest response in this ongoing (and hopefully soon-to-be-ended) Peres debate, he posted another 9 on Friday alone. So when he posts that having me “devote half of [my] Wednesday posts to mocking Peres matters,” his readers could be forgiven for thinking [...]
Putin channels Borat: President Vladimir Putin has a penchant for making pithy, acerbic, sometimes coarse comments. On Wednesday a microphone inadvertently left on during a brief appearance with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel captured his views on the sex scandal involving Israel’s president. According to published accounts by Agence France-Presse late Wednesday and Kommersant [...]
UN peacekeeping chief French Major General Alain Pelligrini on how UNIFIL may deal with Hizbullah terrorists on the way to attack, or even in the midst of attacking, Israel: Contrary to Israeli hopes that the new multinational force in Lebanon will engage and disarm Hizbullah, the beefed up UNIFIL will not immediately open fire on [...]
Omri seems a little frazzled in his response to my previous post. We are getting a touch roughed up in the Israellycool comment section. This is in response to our very reasonable point about how Aussie Dave may have been trying a little too hard to paint Shimon Peres as more of an effete Europhile [...]
Omri reacts to yesterday’s Quote of the Day: We like Israellycool, but this is just unfair. Peres was mocking the press’s wailing about how no one in Israel had the international credibility to be President by pointing out that – more or less – they were idiots because he has massive credibility. That doesn’t mean [...]
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper continues to impress with his principled stand on Israel and her fight against terrorism. Prime Minister Stephen Harper mounted a vigorous defence on Wednesday of his government’s Middle East policy. Speaking to a B’nai Brith dinner, Harper made no apologies for his government siding with the Jewish state during [...]
“The press talks as if there is no one in politics with an international reputation. What, have I not written books and won a Nobel Prize? Do I not have international recognition?” – Vice Premier Shimon Peres, showing what truly motivates him
