News roundup

Yeah, I felt this one: 4.2 aftershock last night around 8. Slept through anything else since then. I’m sure the terrorists don’t care: An Egyptian woman in the Sinai was wounded by rocket fire from Gaza. If she’d died, doubtless … Continue reading

Roger Cohen: With Jews like him, who needs enemies?

Roger Cohen has written many idiotic things, but not until now have his true colors been exposed. He is in Britain, discovering the rising tide of Jew-hatred in the U.K. He has finally noticed that it is his fellow leftists … Continue reading

Unbelievable AP media bias

An Israeli was killed in the constant rocket attacks on Israel. And how does the AP put it in a story? Like this: Deaths of Egyptian troops test Israel-Egypt treaty The death of Egyptian soldiers caught in a battle between … Continue reading
