Gaza is Israel’s fault cartoons
I should really have titled this post ‘proud to be a New Zealander’, but some of you may have thought I was being serious. Let me re-phrase that. I am proud to be a New Zealander (or kiwi as we like to call ourselves) but when I see how anti-Semitic – oops! I mean anti-Israel… Read more

Nobel Prize stolen
Poor old Yasser. Not only is he dead, and not only has the Palestinian Authority that he set up fallen apart, but they had the audacity to steal his nobel prize as well! The Hamas gunmen who broke into the Gaza house of late Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat on Saturday, also stole his Nobel… Read more

Blame Israel for everything
It never takes long for the world to blame Israel for whatever is wrong in the world. This time, of course, it is Gaza. Clearly Israel is responsible for the situation (actually, bizarrely, the critics of the world are right, but not in the way they had intended. If Israel had not negotiated with the… Read more

Rock music at Jewish weddings – Yated’s view
Deah v’Dibur is the online version of Yated Neeman (obviously since the internet is forbidden they can’t give the same name to their online version, because that would imply that they use the internet.

computers, coupons and chochma
I just bought myself a new computer (as you know from a previous blog entry) and it came with Windows Vista. I really don’t like it very much. Apart from using up so much memory that I can’t do anything else, I can’t get my Bar Ilan responsa CD to work. Hopefully they will send… Read more

Mazel Tov Peres
Well, the impossible has happened! Shimon Peres has won an election (well, technically he didn’t win because the other candidates both pulled out, but he would have won). He is now the president elect of Israel in an honest and open election. In two months he will be 84 years old, and he has just… Read more

Making money with blogs
I have to be honest – one of the reasons that I started writing a blog was to try and make some money. I had read all these stories of bloggers earning 6 figure incomes, and I figured – why not me? It is true that I enjoy blogging, and it is nice to think… Read more

My baby brother Ben has just made his first music video. You can see it here at you tube. (It is much better than MBD, which is not saying anything at all). I think its good. Make sure you leave a comment for him about it. Read more
