New Addition
Head on over to Harry and Ziva’s, and wish them a hearty mazal tov (that’s congratulations for the Hebraically-challenged).
Tag: "Blogosphere"
And the Answer is..
The 105th edition of Haveil Havalim – the Jewish blogosphere’s “carnival” of posts – is up at the blog where it all began, and Soccer Dad has placed me in jeopardy. And to think I lost it all with such a foolish bet…

How Bizarre
Via Harry, I have discovered this blog about Black Zionists who supposedly support Israel. According to the site, we can count on support from the likes of Sean “Puff Daddy”/Diddy/Whatever He Calls Himself These Days, Magic Johnson (“It has come to our attention that Magic Johnson is a huge supporter of Israel. BZ sources tell [...]

Advice Received
A few days ago, I posted about Binyamin “Bibi” Netanyahu’s new blog. At the time, I said: I assume this is why the blog is in Hebrew. But given his gift of the gab, I certainly hope he soon launches an English blog to reach readers from around the world. Well, someone’s listening. Opposition Leader [...]
Voting Season
The Weblog awards season is upon us, and it looks like some of my fellow J-bloggers have been nominated for the 2006 Weblog Awards. I have always maintained that these awards mean nothing except for a traffic boost to the competing blogs (I have even said the same of the JIBs, which I founded). [...]
Bibi Blog
A few days ago, I posted about the revamped “official” blog of Israel. Now comes word of the blog of one of our finest spokespeople: former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Ynet reports: The blog was launched Tuesday night, and it’s main purpose is to get Netanyahu’s message directly across to the public, since the [...]

No Bon Voyage for Me
As a reasonably well known blogger, I get the occasional book to review, invitation to a conference, or radio interview. A few days ago, I received my first invitation to another country. Guess which one. Dear Dave, France24 (http://www.france24.com), the new international information TV network, would like to invite you to Paris to join a select [...]

A Matter of Interpretation III: The Boy Can Write
Wow. You have to hand it to Omri. The boy can write. Besides his latest response in this ongoing (and hopefully soon-to-be-ended) Peres debate, he posted another 9 on Friday alone. So when he posts that having me “devote half of [my] Wednesday posts to mocking Peres matters,” his readers could be forgiven for thinking [...]

A Matter of Interpretation II: Omri’s Revenge
Omri seems a little frazzled in his response to my previous post. We are getting a touch roughed up in the Israellycool comment section. This is in response to our very reasonable point about how Aussie Dave may have been trying a little too hard to paint Shimon Peres as more of an effete Europhile [...]
