New Year’s greetings from Latma. h/t: Sabba Hillel.
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

I am Jewish too, and here is why…

Happy Passover
A happy Passover to all of my Jewish readers. Chag Sameach! I hope your Seders are fun, interesting, filled with tasty food, and not so long that you wind up hungry again by the end. I’m at a friend’s house … Continue reading
Targeting Jews in America
The explosion that was a bomb, then was a “freak accident” is now a bomb again—and the FBI has a suspect. And he seems to be Jewish. Wonderful. The FBI said evidence found near the scene of an explosion Thursday … Continue reading

Friday news briefs
That’s funny, I thought this was a war crime: Phosphorous shells only count when Israel uses them in Palestinian territories. When the Palestinians fire them into Israel, well, then they’re just desserts, or something. Israel helps Japan: Israel is sending … Continue reading
Friday snark briefs
Yada yada, unions rock, yada yada, corporate thieves, yada yada: Sally Kohn, a “community organizer” (really, wtf is that supposed to mean?), sings the praises of unions. This part, however, is in great need of correction: There’s an old bumper … Continue reading
