Fayce the Truth
Here’s someone I bet wasn’t invited to speak at Israel Apartheid Week.
At first glance, Fayce (not his real name), looks like a normal, young Tel Aviv resident. His native sounding unaccented Hebrew – complete with all of the Israeli slang – and his mannerisms bear all the hallmarks of someone who has lived in Israel [...]

Rocky times for Sylvester.
Sylvester Stallone will probably be allowed to leave Australia today, despite being under investigation for trying to bring banned items into the country.
The actor had several items confiscated by Customs officials who questioned him and his entourage for two hours at Sydney airport late on Friday.
Rumor has it that he hid the [...]
