Why Be Jewish & Other Thoughts
Over on my blog there is a post called Why Be Jewish in which we explore some of the reasons why people are members of the tribe. I would have crossposted it here but I didn’t want to take that … Continue reading
If you do it for us, we don’t have to
Isabel Kershner reports Netanyahu backs Palestinian state with caveats: But beyond the idea of a state, he seemed to offer little room for compromise or negotiation. … “Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about negotiations, but left us with nothing to negotiate as … Continue reading
No Roger, there is no Santa Claus
It’s always sad when a child has his childhood fantasies ripped away from him. It didn’t seem that long ago that Roger Cohen (and David Ignatius) were telling us that the “Mad Mullahs” of Iran were just a neo-conservative myth. … Continue reading
On Iran
Here’s what I think is going to happen: The same thing that happened several years ago, when young people across Iran protested, well, the exact same leader of their nation. The students are going to lose. Of course, I would … Continue reading
That Netanyahu’s speech – third opinion
No, I haven’t bothered to see it all, the transcript has done quite well for me. Anyway, it was good to sleep on it before venturing forth with an opinion, which will be argued against no matter what I say. … Continue reading
The evolution of an AP headline
One story. Three updates. Four headlines. 1:51 p.m.: The first AP report on Netanyahu’s speech. Note the bias of the headline—Netanyahu called for a Palestinian state, and the AP describes it as “limited.” Netanyahu accepts limited Palestinian state Israeli Prime … Continue reading

The Netanyahu speech
Bibi said the words that needed to be said. He called for the establishment of a Palestinian state. I haven’t yet found an English transcript of the speech, and would like very much to read it all before commenting thoroughly—but … Continue reading

Shaping Obama
There are two points about the recent Washington Post report, Obama’s aides, friends shaped his views on settlements: The first is the omission of any mention of President Obama’s friendship with Rashid Khalidi or Ali Abuminah. This allows the reporters … Continue reading
Bar Mitzvah Boy
Sarah and Larry’s eldest son had his bar mitzvah yesterday, which is one reason why it’s been extremely quiet on this blog this weekend. He did a wonderful job. After the service, he and I were discussing how he did, … Continue reading

The Best of The Jewish/Israeli Blogosphere
It has been a busy week filled with all sorts of news and not all of it good. Every week the Jewish/Israeli blogosphere produces a blog carnival in which you can find their thoughts about numerous topics. If you want … Continue reading

Jimmy Carter: Not even hiding his hate for Israel any more
Sorry, but when someone says the Palestinians have been suffering ever since 1948, they’re as good as saying Israel has no right to exist. And Carter went far beyond that in a speech to the Palestinians today: “I have been … Continue reading

It’s Mad Mahmoud by a whisker
Or so the Iranian state news agency says. Iran’s state news agency reported that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won re-election Friday, but his main reformist challenger also confidently claimed victory at a news conference moments earlier. The rival claims came even … Continue reading
UN wants to fine Israel, Israel should bill UN
The leader of the organization that helps supply Hamas with funding for the missiles that rain down on Israel (see: UNRWA and related organizations that help pay Hamas members’ salaries) wants to fine Israel for responding to the missiles. UN … Continue reading
The campaign’s the thing
During the campaign last year, we kept on hearing stories about how supportive President Obama would be of Israel. Those of us who looked at his associations and wondered how someone with his background would be pro-Israel were mocked for … Continue reading
Vote for Ahmadinejad—please.
I want Ahmadinejad to win today. Yes, really. Because his replacement will be worse. Why worse? Because he pretends that he doesn’t have the same goals as Ahmadinejad. Because the world media will call him a “moderate.” Because he will … Continue reading
Pre-election Iran, pot calling kettle, pink glasses etc
The fake drama developing in Tehran these days is sort of ironic. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad further fueled the unprecedented drama in Iranian politics ahead of Friday’s national elections, giving a fiery response Wednesday to harsh criticism from one of the … Continue reading
The Obama administration’s contribution to the election in Lebanon
I expressed some skepticism towards the claim that President Obama’s Cairo speech helped boost the prospects of the March 14 coalition. I also offered my own suggestion that perhaps the speech scared Christians into voting for the coaltion. Max Boot … Continue reading
CAIR doesn’t really care
The AP laps up everything that CAIR gives them, even when CAIR lies about caring about anti-Semitism. Added to the lead of the AP news article on the Holocaust Museum shooting are these words: The assailant was hospitalized in critical … Continue reading

Oh Debbie, Debbie… well, and oh Michael, Michael…
(Not to be mixed with “Oh, Debka, Debka…” series. I am already too despaired by Debka to pay them enough attention.) This is about Debbie Schlussel, she of enchanting exterior and hugely popular site. It took Debbie a few minutes … Continue reading

Israel helping Gazans, world doesn’t notice
This isn’t getting any play at all in the anti-Israel media. Israel began construction of an underground pipeline on Tuesday that will deliver diesel fuel and cooking oil to the southern Gaza Strip. The decision to build the pipeline followed … Continue reading
