Tough Crowd
In the LA Times Babylon and Beyond blog section, Ashraf Khalil in Chicago complains about his nine hours at the Eretz checkpoint.
But that’s nothing compared to the treatment he receives in the comments.
Sample:
Instead of moaning and groaning about how bad Israelis treat Palestinians maybe you should focus on how bad Palestinians treat other Palestinians. The [...]
Exit Stage Left for Bad Rubbish
It looks like hell is about to gain a new resident.
Or rather an old one returning home.
Miriam Farhat, the Palestinian mother who became famous in 2002 when she appeared in a video encouraging her son to attack a Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip, was reported Thursday to be in critical condition after suffering a [...]
An Interview With Dan Gillerman
Ynetnews has a fascinating interview with everybody’s favorite outgoing ambassador to the UN, Dan Gillerman.
There are many interesting anecdotes, including his friendship with Pakistan’s UN Ambassador Munir Akram, and encounters with the Syrian and Iranian ambassadors. But my favorite is his recollection of an interview on CNN during the Second Lebanon War.
“I was sitting in [...]

Lovers’ Quarrel
Israeli terror enabler and Janeane Garofalo lookalike Tali Fahima has turned on her (apparently) ex-terrorist, (definitely) ex-lover Zakariya Zubeidi.
It seems she only likes a guy with a big gun and the knowledge on how to use it (killing Jews).
Tali Fahima, a Jewish Israeli woman who was tried and convicted for her contacts with Zakariya Zubeidi, [...]
Missing the Point
Ynetnews reports on a new “laptop for every palestinian child” project:
An American organization has requested Israel’s assistance in a new initiative similar to the Israeli “computer for every child” project. The American Task Force on Palestine (ATFP), an organization committed to the welfare of the Palestinian people, asked that the State help transfer around 1,000 [...]
Keffiyeh Man
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
No, it’s Keffiyeh Man.
Wearing his trademark cape and armed only with a slingshot and oodles of rage, Keffiyeh Man continues the fight (alongside his comrades Hairstyle Man and The Popsicle Crusader) against the filthy Zionist ursurpators and their land-grab, apartheid separation barrier.
First International JBloggers Convention
Some of you may already know about the First International JBloggers Convention, to take place in Jerusalem in a number of weeks. There are a number of panel discussions with bloggers behind Jewish blogs such as Treppenwitz, Jewlicious, Israel Matzav and Oleh Girl. Also, some anglo-Israeli bloggers are also being sent to the US (and [...]
