Other people’s work
No, I’m not stealing it. Go read other people’s work. I’m tired. The real story behind “Miral.” Nice. The Weinsteins distributed a movie about Deir Yassin, which would be bad enough—but vicious anti-Semite Vanessa Redgrave is in it. Goldstone’s retraction … Continue reading

The ten years and nothing’s really changed news briefs
Of course it’s Israel’s fault, it always is: Three UN workers were hurt in a blast in Gaza, and of course, Hamas blames Israel. It might be a kassam that fell short. Oh, and the three UN workers? Most likely … Continue reading
