After the 130 Qassams that have hit Israel in the last three days, 5 have been fired so far today. We’re bracing ourselves for another Qassam-prolific day, with word that Hamas believes that Israel wants to avoid a major ground operation in Gaza, and therefore, will call a truce if the heavy rocket fire continues.

I’ve been so caught up with my liveblogging that I almost missed this story: an Israeli blogger has been interrogated by the Shin Bet. His co-blogger Akiva (who helped with the JIBs this year) explains what happened: R. Nati, a contributor to this blog, was summoned to the (Israeli) police station today. When he arrived, [...]

Now it looks like their marriage will survive, and they are going to spread the love around. Omar Osama bin Laden bears a striking resemblance to his notorious father — except for the dreadlocks that dangle [...]
Good news this morning, with IDF special forces killing Walid Obeidi, Islamic Jihad’s top “military” (i.e. terrorist) commander in the West Bank, who, like other top terrorists before him, was courageously hiding amongst civilians. Interesting enough, he was also known as Abu al-Qassam, and was responsible for Islamic Jihad’s activities in the West Bank, whether [...]
Ha’aretz reports: Amy Winehouse could be the next British Jewish songstress to enter the mid-winter holiday spirit, with a collection of Hanukkah tunes.
