Two hours to NOlmert. Call for elections, Tzipi.

Posted on 09/21/2008 by Meryl Yourish

No Way Out

Posted on 09/03/2008 by Meryl Yourish

Poor, poor Lauren Booth, Tony Blair’s sister-in-law. She can’t get out of Gaza. She’s one of the tools that led the “protest” against the IDF shutdown of Gaza by sending two boats in the other day. And now, neither Egypt … Continue reading →
