The Obama peace plan: Pressure Israel, pressure Israel, pressure Israel
It looks like the Chicken Littles may have been right. The Obama camp is calling for Israel to freeze all settlement activity, including building in the suburbs of Jerusalem—which is hardly a “settlement.” Meanwhile Clinton said Obama had “made it … Continue reading

The debate about armed struggle
This article strikes me as utterly typical of the rejectionist problem. The Palestinians are battling to compromise, but not in the way you and I understand the word: The Palestinian Authority “will do everything in its power” to advance peace … Continue reading
Testing Obama’s mettle
A quote from October: “Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The … Continue reading
Wily Jews outsmart Missouri neo-Nazis
A perfect response to a neo-Nazi group sponsoring a highway in order to get their group publicity: Lawmakers renamed a section of highway in Springfield that a neo-Nazi group adopted to keep litter-free after a Jewish civil rights leader. Rep. … Continue reading
Palestinian intransigence
There is no peace process. There are only Palestinian demands. Witness the latest interview with Ahmed Qureia: Qureia: “The Right of Return is one of the Palestinians’ rights. The question of how to relate to this right is up for … Continue reading

Still not doing much blogging this weekend. So we have cat pictures. Tigger on deck. Gracie napping. Believe me when I tell you that Tig is not nearly as fat as he looks. He has about twice as much fur … Continue reading
Night at the Museum 2: A fun flick
If you like cute, funny, family-oriented films, you will like Night at the Museum 2. Sarah and the twins and I went this afternoon, while Larry took the older boys to see Star Trek. (She and I will see that … Continue reading

Cheech and Chong are on Mad TV, and, well, I have something to confess: Stoner humor is apparently just as funny today as it was when I was fourteen years old. Either that, or Mad TV’s writers got way better. … Continue reading

U.S. arming Hezbullah for next war with Israel
America has apparently learned nothing since training and arming the PLO, which then used that training and those weapons to murder Israelis. Now, we’re going to send some pretty intense weaponry that will end up in the hands of Hezbullah. … Continue reading
Nasrallah blames Israel for all the ills of the region
These are the words of the man who, in the coming months, you can expect the EU, UN, and left-leaning US crowd to call for Israel to negotiate with. Because Hezbollah, they will say, is moderating. Or because Hezbollah is … Continue reading
Avigdor Lieberman: Cutting straight to the point
I’m starting to really like this guy. Lieberman further expressed his disappointment with the Palestinian leadership: “You can’t have it both ways. You can’t accept our help on one hand and ask the ICC to charge us with crimes against … Continue reading

If it’s Friday, there must be violent anti-fence protests
Okay, now I’m starting to wonder what’s going on with all these protesters getting hit by tear gas grenade canisters. Anti-fence rallies in Ramallah area lead to violent clashes between Palestinians and security forces once again: A 20-year-old Palestinian was … Continue reading
