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 →

Friday briefs

Posted on 09/16/2011 by Meryl Yourish

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 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 →

Friday, snarkly

I’m not dead yet: The Syrian general appears on TV to proclaim that reports of his death are greatly exaggerated. Sure, but when was the video made, huh? Huh? Just be careful if you’re really not dead, dude. People around … Continue reading →

Wednesday, briefly

Posted on 08/10/2011 by Meryl Yourish

It’s time for him to go: Say, haven’t we heard that before? Talk about leading from behind… even the frakking Arab League has told Assad his day is over. Now Obama is finding the stones to tell Assad to step … Continue reading →

Obama ramps up the pressure on Israel

Posted on 06/11/2011 by Meryl Yourish

God save us from the queen

Posted on 05/25/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Obama and the Middle East reset

Posted on 05/22/2011 by Meryl Yourish

The discussion over the Obama reference to the 1967 lines (a.k.a. the 1949 Armistice Lines) is missing the point. Obama’s defense of what he said at AIPAC today is also beside the point. The fact that other presidents and Israeli … Continue reading →

Best Barry Rubin quote ever

Posted on 04/29/2011 by Meryl Yourish

EVER. If Sarah Palin says something stupid, a hundred sources will ridicule her and she won’t make the same mistake again. If Barack Obama says something stupid he won’t learn anything because of the silence of the fans.

Boycott this, morons: First Israelis invented texting. Now they’re going to use it to save Israeli lives. Jews rock. UPDATE: My mistake. Israel invented instant messaging, not texting. But Jews still rock. Apparently, freeing Gaza is not a high priority … Continue reading →
