Tuesday, briefly

Posted on 05/22/2012 by Meryl Yourish

Hamas is in deep doo-doo: I like my headline better than Ynet’s, but read Guy Bechor’s analysis for a nice, cheerful story about Hamas. Cheerful for us, that is. Money quote: Until recently it appeared that the so-called “Arab Spring” … Continue reading →

Monday, snarkly, briefly

Posted on 05/21/2012 by Meryl Yourish

Did you hear the one about Hamas moderating? Yeah, not so much. Unless by “moderation” you mean “willing to wait a few years to destroy Israel.” Yes, I know I already linked to the Forward interview, but Ynet’s behind the … Continue reading →

Sunday snarks

Posted on 05/20/2012 by Meryl Yourish

Really? An Austrian has the nerve to criticize a Jew? Really? The Austrian defense minister is criticizing Avigdor Lieberman’s place in Israel’s cabinet. This would be a man from the nation that in response to the revelation of Kurt Waldeim’s … Continue reading →

Friday they just want peace briefs

Posted on 05/18/2012 by Meryl Yourish

Sure, the Palestinians want to live in peace with Israel: That’s why they attacked the paramedics who arrived to help their women who got into an accident. Take note: The attackers were Arab Israelis who live in East Jerusalem. News … Continue reading →

Thursday, briefly

Posted on 05/03/2012 by Meryl Yourish

Gee, I wonder who they could have been? “Unknown attackers” murdered 11 Egyptian protesters and wounded hundreds more, while police stood idly by–in front of the Defense Ministry. Hm. That’s a tough one. Who could have the mystery attackers been? … Continue reading →

Monday, briefly

Posted on 04/30/2012 by Meryl Yourish

Well, isn’t this interesting: We’re deploying Stealth jets in a base in “southwest Asia”, a.k.a.: Within striking distance of Iran. Yes, but they don’t really care about Palestinians: A major food retailer in the U.K. is boycotting Jewish goods. No, … Continue reading →

End of the week briefs

Posted on 04/20/2012 by Meryl Yourish

But–but–but Jimmy Carter said Hamas wants peace! The second ranking Hamas official flatly states that any agreement with Israel would be considered a hudna–in other words, just a trick until Hamas can figure out how to destroy Israel. Compare that … Continue reading →

Tuesday briefs

Posted on 04/17/2012 by Meryl Yourish

But it’s anti-Zionism, not anti-Semitism: One of the European “activists” left a present on the wall of the room where he was held: A Nazi swastika. Drawn correctly. The “activist” was from France or Spain. Or maybe both of them … Continue reading →

Tuesday, briefly

Posted on 04/03/2012 by Meryl Yourish

Of course they do: Hamas is blaming Israel for the deaths of three children who burned to death in a fire caused by candles being used since the electricity was cut. And why was the electricity cut? Because Hamas refuses … Continue reading →

Monday briefs

Another reason to like Chris Christie: You really can’t get much more Christian a name (unless you were, say, Jesus J. Jesus), and Gov. Christie is in Jerusalem on a visit “that mixes finance, faith and foreign affairs”. It’s only … Continue reading →

Whitewashing Hamas, part the next

Posted on 03/29/2012 by Meryl Yourish

What’s missing from this AFP report on the Gaza fuel crisis? A reason. You can read the entire article and not know why there is a fuel crisis in Gaza. Although they do manage to get a quote blaming the … Continue reading →

When the media lie about “protesters”

Posted on 03/18/2012 by Meryl Yourish

Terrorists are planning a marching on Israel’s borders, with the intent of causing a media blitz in the manner of the Mavi Marmara. The world is going to call them “protesters”, not infiltrators, and yet, what will they be protesting? … Continue reading →

Wednesday news roundup

Posted on 03/07/2012 by Meryl Yourish

And yet, in every generation, another enemy tries to destroy us: Marc Tracy in The Tablet on why Iran isn’t Haman, and how the world isn’t trying to destroy Israel. That’s a false choice, though. The whole world isn’t trying. … Continue reading →

Wednesday briefs

Posted on 02/29/2012 by Meryl Yourish

An unnamed source said it in a stolen email, so it must be true: My bullshit detector is pinging at Over-the-top on this story that Russia and Israel exchanged missile and drone codes. Really, Stratfor was a bit of a … Continue reading →

Quick Monday links

Posted on 02/27/2012 by Meryl Yourish

Hamas is totally out of Syria. Hezbollah is delusional. The Iranians are delusional. (It’s a freaking movie, schmucks.) A ray of light in France? Gee, the Russians don’t want Israel to attack their client state. How–1980s of them. Israel Apartheid … Continue reading →

Washington’s Birthday briefs

Posted on 02/21/2012 by Meryl Yourish

No, not his actual briefs, because they didn’t wear briefs in those days. And, ew. Yep, Islamists are still trying to murder Israelis: Suuuure, they’re moderating. That’s why the IDF foiled another terror plot on the Egyptian border. And by … Continue reading →

There is no moderation of the Hamas mission

Posted on 02/11/2012 by Meryl Yourish

It really doesn’t matter how many news services, pundits, and analysts insist that by joining with the PA, Hamas is going to moderate. They’re not. Just listen to the words of their leader during his recent trip to Iran: Hamas … Continue reading →

Time warp blogging fatigue

Posted on 02/07/2012 by Meryl Yourish

One of the reasons I get so tired of posting these days is because I post essentially the same things, different days. Pick a month from 2008 and go read over the archives. I found a post on Hamas smuggling … Continue reading →

The war of the words

Posted on 02/03/2012 by Meryl Yourish

Israel’s annual Herzliya conference, which draws leaders from around the world to discuss the region’s security issues, is always a cause for the news media to get a case of the vapors. Its major topic this year, of course, is … Continue reading →
