Lazy Rosh Hashana cat post
What was that? Someone asked where their Rosh Hashana Tigger post was? Here. Elisson sent me the spatula as a gift. It was Sarah‘s idea to see how Tig Hulk would look. (She took the picture, too.) Tig smash!

Still another example of AP media bias
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

Erev Rosh Hashana briefs
Even al Qaeda thinks Mad Mahmoud is full of crap: How stupid do you look when al Quaeda contradicts your stupid conspiracy theory about the U.S. being behind 9/11? This stupid. “For them, al Qaeda was a competitor for the … Continue reading

A sweet and meaningful new year to all of my Jewish readers. Blow the shofar, dudes.
Where Negotiations Begin
I have never wondered why negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians are so difficult. There are many obvious reasons. You can probably name a half-dozen without much thought. Yet, there is one reason that they have gotten more difficult in … Continue reading
Tuesday briefs
But I thought Iran was anti-Zionist, not anti-Jew: Did you know one of the three American hikers illegally imprisoned by Iran was Jewish? Neither did I, until yesterday. The fact that the negotiators felt it was urgent not to let … Continue reading

Monday morning briefs
Yeah, I’d have given Iran a royal one-finger salute: The hikers are free, gave a press conference, and still managed to criticize the U.S. position on Iran. I’d give the hikers a one-finger salute as well, the ungrateful idiots. They … Continue reading

The AP fact checks the Abbas UN speech
I’m going to score this one a win, even if I have some quibbles with it. The AP really seems to be working towards being an objective media source. At least, sometimes. (Thanks, Soccerdad!) They fact-checked Abbas’ ass, and he … Continue reading

Caturday silliness
It looks like Tig has something growing out of his head here. Yes, it’s a lazy Saturday in the Yourish household. After morning services, that is.

Dueling speeches: Abbas v. Netanyahu
Jonathan Tobin has a compare-and-contrast analysis of Mahmoud Abbas’ speech, followed by Bibi Netanyahu’s. In a nutshell: Abbas lied, Palestine died. You can hear (or read) for yourself. A year ago, at this same time, distinguished leaders in this hall … Continue reading

Friday briefs
Say pretty please with sugar on top: Oh, well, then of course, Israel must do so. Islamic nations are demanding that Israel open its nuke plant to IAEA inspectors. Well, I demand that Islamic nations STFU on telling Israel what … Continue reading

Happy Fictional Statelet of East Palestine Day!
The inexorable theater of granting a ceremonial state to the people who utterly refuse to negotiate or compromise with Israel is lurching to a close. The AP analysis is all aw-shucks, that guy is working hard for his state, isn’t … Continue reading

The appalling double standards on Israel and the Palestinians
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
