Gene Simmons on Obama’s Speech
This is too good to miss. Gene Simmons (the one with the tongue from KISS) on the Israeli political situation and Obama’s lack of understanding. I love it when Israel and music come together. And for Lag BaOmer too – when we can discover the secrets of the Zohar and the brilliance of KISS. Hod… Read more

Livni speaks like Kahane!
Only yesterday Tzippi Livni, head of Kadima, was chastising Likud for electing Feiglin to the number 20 slot on their electoral roll. Apparently were the ‘right wing’ of Likud to become the ruling party there would be no further hope for peace (because apparently she thinks that the ‘centrist/left wing’ government of which she is… Read more

Blood on their hands?
I always thought that Ynet was a leftist website. At least that doesn’t prevent them laughing at the craziness of the current political situation in Israel. This could have come straight from Israel Satire Laboratories! Blood on whose hands? Avi Rath describes imaginary government session on release of Palestinian murderers Published: 12.31.07, 00:07 / Israel… Read more

Phones are sooo 1975!
I sometimes wonder whether the current Israeli leadership understands what is going on. Perhaps they just don’t see things properly. Or hear. Or think… It seems that the government is out of touch with their electorate, world Jewish opinion, and current Arab and Palestinian thinking. Perhaps they got their wires crossed. This is a transcript… Read more

Peace talks are a game
Some people feel that video games are the correct solution to the Middle East peace problems. Not the Palestinian bombers, or the corrupt (Israeli) leadership, or even the lack of spine (and power/authority) of any of the negotiators. A new video game will be distributed that will help solve the problem! Try to empathize with… Read more

Teshuva for Disengagement?
There are at least three components to true repentance; regret about the past, to stop sinning in the present, and to resolve never to do it again in the future. I wonder to what extent Ben Eliezer’s statements here represent the national feeling. Perhaps Israel is beginning to do teshuva for the enormous damage and… Read more

Emergency Campaign to Save Jerusalem
I’m posting this to show my solidarity with yidwithlid, Jerusalem and the The United Coalition for Jerusalem. I believe that to show the world, ourselves and G-d how many people care about Jerusalem and don’t want it destroyed, will be a kiddush Hashem, and will help us focus in our prayers and efforts to get… Read more

Beilin ‘Jewish’
After much soul searching and political pressure, Israel has decided not to cut off electricity to Gaza in response to kassam attacks. Yet again Israel’s attempt to thwart the peace process didn’t work (Or as the BBC would say ‘Attacks won’t get in the way of the peace process). The idea of supplying the enemy… Read more

Amnesty Interntational DOESN’T condemn Israel
Mashiach must definitely be on the way. A report from Amnesty International which accuses the Palestinians (both the good ones and the bad ones) of human rights violations! And even the BBC manages to write 8 paragraphs before it mentions that everything is Israel’s fault. It is interesting to see that both the BBC and… Read more
