Mass Retirement

You have to hand it to the palestinians. They never cease to find new ways to insult our intelligence. Undersecretary of the Palestinian foreign ministry, Dr Ahmad Subih, said on Wednesday that the ministry accepted the retirement request of 12 Palestinian ambassadors to several countries. He denied reports that the ambassadors were dismissed. Subih told [...]

More Mo’s

Perhaps the British are too busy boycotting Israel to see what is happening under their noses. Mohammed is now the second most popular name for baby boys in the UK -and is expected to top the list by the end of the year.   It was shared by 5,991 newborns last year, ahead of Thomas, [...]

The Result of Six Days

During the Six-Day War, the Arab armies were heavily defeated, after Israel destroyed most of their aircraft while they remained on the ground.   Thanks to Israel’s victory, it is not the planes that many Arabs are now having trouble getting up. Forty years after Israel’s stunning victory over three Arab armies, the defeat still lingers [...]

Message to British Doctors

Here’s a great response to last month’s letter from 130 British doctors calling for a boycott of the Israel Medical Association and its expulsion from the World Medical Association.  

Time Magazine’s Account of the Six Day War

Via LGF comes this Time Magazine account of the Six-Day War, written shortly after the war finished. As Charles says: Reading TIME magazine’s account of the Six Day War, written in June 1967 shortly after it finished, is an amazing experience.

Blogging the Conflict: June 4th-5th, 2007

I must admit to finding it increasingly difficult to maintain these updates, but I will try when possible. Let’s see what has happened so far today… Depending on which news outlet you rely upon, the palestinian terrorists fired either 3 mortar shells and a Qassam, 6 mortar shells (and here), or 3 Qassams. I am [...]

A Sigheh of Relief

From the country that brought us “Let’s wipe Israel off the map” comes “Let’s get married and divorced real quickly so I can have as much nookie as possible.” Iran’s hard-line interior minister is encouraging temporary marriages as a way to avoid extramarital sex, a stance many in this conservative country fear would instead encourage [...]

Lies

The Sydney Morning Herald reports: Canada has ousted Australia as the world’s friendliest nation and – to rub it in – China has knocked us out of the top 10 index that rates a nation’s brand name value. The Anholt Nations Brand Index (NBI) poll has found Canadians have overtaken Australians as the world’s friendliest [...]

Blogging the Conflict: June 2nd-3rd, 2007

Catching up on the news after a relaxing Sabbath, I see that there seems to have been “only” one Qassam fired at Israel today. It landed in a residential neighborhood of Sderot this morning, damaging 2 buildings, and causing 4 people to suffer shock. Islamic Jihad took responsibility for it, which is not surprising, considering [...]
