Reading some of the other Israeli blogs, it looks as though there was a blog conference in the Holy Land this week. While I am surprised I didn’t hear of it until after the fact, I am not arrogant enough to think I am somehow entitled to an invite. So you won’t be getting any [...]
Hey, my koala got rolled! But in Tamar Yonah’s defense, she at least partially seems to understand that the purpose of the awards is not to win, but rather bring exposure to blogs that deserve a wider readership. And she hearts Israellycool, so I’ve been softened up a bit (not just by the steamroller, I [...]
Believe it or not, tucked away in this post from the Guardian’s music blog is an attack on yours truly. Elsewhere it was popstar blogs getting news hacks in a fluster.

Here’s part of a post of his from yesterday: I don’t know why Jewish wingnuts like Steven Plaut or Rachel Neuwirth [...]
..comes courtesy of my friend Richard Landes: Palestinian Suffering: Who’s Responsible? Few people have suffered more constant misery and daily oppression in the last 50 years than the Palestinians. The key issue, however, concerns not the amount — although it has obviously been grossly exaggerated — but the source of that suffering. Read the rest [...]
Dr. David Yeagley:* And people wonder at my love for Jewish people. When one is absorbed in such psychological archetypes as found in Jewish history, how can one not feel awe and affection for the people whose history has traced out the truth of human experience? How can one not be thrilled to know the [...]
Please keep Cathy and Maia in your prayers. And thank you Cathy for enriching so many lives through your writing.
Ha’aretz have a report on Israeli bloggers. Naturally, yours truly gets the final word. Naturally, there are no hyperlinks to the blogs.
