The what day is today? briefs
No time left for Time: Abe Greenwald reads that drek, so I don’t have to. The magazine that gave us “Menachem Begin (rhymes with Fagin) is bashing Israel again. Say, it’s a weekly magazine, isn’t it? And this is a … Continue reading

On Henry Kissinger and the Jews
A long, long time ago, I saw a protest against Henry Kissinger. There was a sign that left an indelible impression on me. “In Egypt he is Kissinger, in Israel he is Killinger.” Now I know why. Gal Beckerman, a … Continue reading
