Wednesday Briefs

Muslims appropriating Jewish symbols, Holocaust version: They’re using yellow Stars of David to protest “Islamophobia” in Switzerland. Disgusting? Of course. Will that stop them from doing it again? No. Not until someone starts calling them Zionists or something. Well, that’s … Continue reading

Tuesday “shaky truce” briefs

Sunny with a chance of missiles: Schools have been cancelled in southern Israel due to rocket attacks, and even the AP has noticed. Damned if you do… Egypt has gotten Israel to postpone for 24 hours a stronger response to … Continue reading

Still more anti-Israel media

Oh, look. A news source even more anti-Israel than the AP: The AFP thinks that a truce is holding–but shaky–when one side fires rockets at the other. Gaza militants on Monday said they were committed to a truce with Israel … Continue reading

You can teach the AP some things

Oh, look. The AP finally includes in the lead the reason that Israel started bombing Palestinian rocket squads, even though they’re sticking to the tit-for-tat angle. Or at least, that was this morning’s article. Israel, militants continue attacks for second … Continue reading

Friday briefs

Great. The neo-Nazi sites will have an actual news story to use for a change: A U.S. Haredi Jew was convicted of organ trafficking. The fact that the people he bought organs from did it voluntarily and lived afterwards will … Continue reading
