Getting to Yes

Gee, who would have thought that EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana would be duplicitous? Not Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni by the looks of things. “I would have thought that your answer would be ‘yes’ to sanctions on Iran,” Foreign Affairs Minister Tzipi Livni told EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana on Wednesday afternoon [...]

Google co-founder Larry Page and Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber. Note: This is purely about resemblance. I am not insinuating that Mr Page is dumb. That would be dumb, especially since I still carry Google ads on my site.

Jerusalem Protection Law

A small bit of good news: The Knesset passed the first reading of a bill initiated by Likud Knesset Member Gideon Sa’ar, which requires a two-thirds majority of Knesset Members (MKs) to change the status of Jerusalem. Currently, it would take 61 of the 120 MKs to change the Basic Law: Jerusalem, which annexed Jerusalem’s [...]

Question of the Day

Inspired by the comments to this post, what I would like to know is: If you were creating a pro-Israel group blog site, which 5 pro-Israel bloggers would you choose? (Elder, Brian, and I promise not to ban you from here if we are not on the list!)

Mostly it was a complete jumble of people saying the same Hebrew words in their own time but ever now [...]

Return of the Creepy Bearded Terrorist Boy Band

Looks like Reuters have just discovered the creepy bearded terrorist boy band, judging by the slew of pictures dedicated to them. Members of Hamas’s ‘Protectors of the Homeland’ police band sing in Gaza November 4, 2007. Wearing blue military fatigues and crooning songs about Islamic holy war, the five members of Hamas’s ‘Protectors of the [...]

Sanity Check

It has already been over a week since I invited Elder to contribute to this site, and I am sure you will all agree he has posted some very well thought out and interesting posts. Now it is important to me to get your feedback on whether or not you like this new multi-blogger format. [...]

Piggyfat the Pauper

The Times Online tells the heart wrenching story of Suha Arafat- aka Piggyfat- who has been left virtually penniless after the death of her terrorhubby. She claims she has to scrape by on “only” £5,000 a month. As Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader, lay dying in a Paris hospital in November 2004, his wife Suha [...]
