But–but–Karl Vick said that Hamas and the PA would move towards peace! Ismail Haniyeh continues his Islamist victory tour of the Middle East (a.k.a. the “Show me the money!” tour), greeting cheering crowds in Tunisia and telling the AP that … Continue reading →

So, how’s that 1701 working out for you? Hizballah is still targeting UN peacekeepers, this time probably for telling the world that the rockets fired last week were in violation of UNSCR 1701, which forbids arms and weapons south of … Continue reading →

The official Obama Israel policy: It’s Israel’s fault

Posted on 12/03/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Two articles in Ynet quote two different members of the Obama administration that essentially blame Israel for all of the diplomatic problems and isolation Israel suffers. First, Leon Panetta, Obama’s Defense Secretary: “I understand the view that this is not … Continue reading →

You know, it isn’t a biased story if it’s true: The AP is covering Israel’s Haredi problems with women. It’s shameful. Women have been beaten, spit on, forced to the back of buses, and insulted. And the men doing it … Continue reading →

The appalling double standards on Israel and the Palestinians

Posted on 09/22/2011 by Meryl Yourish

This is why there will never be peace. Mahmoud Abbas quite plainly is insisting on never, ever budging an inch on Palestinian demands. No to acknowledging Israel as a Jewish state. No to resettling refugees within “Palestine.” No to land … Continue reading →

Feminists for Palestinians: Working against their own interests. Israel just graduated its first female bomb specialist. And by “bomb specialist,” I mean the non-terrorist version of that job: One who disarms bombs instead of builds them. Compare Inbal Gawi to … Continue reading →

Monday blah briefs

Posted on 09/19/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Israel Derangement Syndrome strikes again: A bunch of Turks decided to hack into Israeli websites and leave anti-Israel (and anti-Armenia and anti-Greece) messages.

And we can prove it, too: Benjamin Netanyahu will remind the UN that Jews have been in Israel for thousands of years. I knew there was something I didn’t like about IKEA to begin with: The founder was a Nazi. … Continue reading →

A good thing happened, for a change: Thank you, Jordanians, for being the sane Israeli neighbors. The call to replicate the Egyptian violation of international law and centuries-old treaties by protesting in front of (and attacking, of course) the Israeli … Continue reading →

The presidents wants YOU to snitch on your neighbor

Posted on 09/14/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Really? Attack Watch? Really? The president of the United States of America is so effing insecure that he has a website dedicated to trying to “fight the smears” about him? Really? Because it’s not like the media ever posted a … Continue reading →

The eternal candidate, our president

Posted on 08/14/2011 by Meryl Yourish

It doesn’t matter that we elected him president. He doesn’t understand that he’s president of all of us, not just the Democrats. And it shows. As does his hypocrisy: But we can no longer let partisan brinksmanship get in our … Continue reading →
