Posted on 04/13/2012 by Meryl Yourish

Tuesday news round-up

Posted on 03/27/2012 by Meryl Yourish

If Israel did it, the world would be outraged: Syrian troops have entered Lebanon in pursuit of rebel troops, destroying houses and shelling as they go. Where is UNIFIL? Probably making sure they’re out of range of Hezbullah. Besides, they … Continue reading →

Briefs and then some

Posted on 01/16/2012 by Meryl Yourish

Intifada III, or testing the waters? Another Palestinian caught with another lot of pipe bombs. I think it’s the latter. Sigh. Cyberwar. Hackers striking Israeli sites again, and a retaliation promised. No good is going to come of this, and … Continue reading →

Thursday, briefly

Posted on 12/29/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Yeah, sure you will: Apparently, the Iranians think that they can close the Strait of Hormuz if the UN enacts any more sanctions against them. I’m thinking not, and so does the Fifth Fleet. And the Iranians think this is … Continue reading →

Celebrating Christmas in Gaza and Israel

Posted on 12/23/2011 by Meryl Yourish

The Guardian is waking up to the fact that Gaza is ruled by an Islamic theocracy that doesn’t allow the dhimmis within its midst to celebrate their religion. There hasn’t been a Christmas tree in Gaza City’s main square since … Continue reading →

Tuesday afternoon briefs

Posted on 12/13/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Keep it up, you’ll alienate the rest of America’s Jews: The IDF asked parents to “dress modestly” for a medics graduation ceremony. I have a lot of tolerance for the religious. I have no tolerance for those that would relegate … Continue reading →

Posted on 10/19/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Besides the media constantly calling the ransoming of Gilad Shalit a “prisoner swap,” there have been many irritating moral equivalencies, but none more egregious than this snippet in the New York Times. Both Israel and the divided Palestinian leadership — … Continue reading →

Or they’ll frown in Syria’s general direction: The Arab League is giving Syria 15 days to stop murdering its own citizens. The vote was to suspend Syria from the league, and as you can see, even murdering over 3,000 civilians … Continue reading →

Still another example of AP media bias

Posted on 09/28/2011 by Meryl Yourish

An American Christian tourist was attacked and stabbed to death while visiting Israel. The details are pretty grisly, and it was a big deal when it happened. But the AP didn’t even put the words “killed” or “death” in its … Continue reading →
