I have waited to comment on the 'Muhammad cartoon' tirade because I felt that I needed to ruminate an honest response. I have always been disgusted with Arab media, who still print Nazi-style political propaganda cartoons in their newspapers, and am equally fed up with Western media who always print political cartoons that depict Israel as an apartheid state. And with that train of logic it

I woke up today to find that my beloved homeland has fallen deeper into disgrace. Words cannot express the despair that dwells within my soul. In the footage from the Amona expulsion, I witnessed the supposed protectors of our Jewish nation picking a fight with women and children. I witnessed anti-terror units beating Jews and giving Hamas yet another reason to claim victory. How can such a

From the mouth of Vladimir Putin: "Our position on Hamas is different from that of the United States and Western Europe, the Russian Foreign Ministry has never regarded Hamas as a terrorist organization. But this does not mean that we totally approve and support everything that Hamas has done." He further went on to declare that the nations that fund the Palestinian Authority should not cut

Does anyone else see the absurdity in what we demand that Hamas do? Why are we demanding that Hamas "disarm" prior to any recognition of their government, all the while Fatah has always maintained their "military wing" even while holding the primary power base? We know that Hamas will never do it, so why even ask? And don't tell me it is about principal, because we allowed Fatah to maintain

MK Aryeh Eldad said: "Disengagement weakened the Palestinian moderates. Fatah lost and the Hamas won because their way forced the Israelis out. The majority of the Palestinians support the Hamas because they believe that the Israelis will eventually be pushed out of all of their territories." "Sharon put the Hamas in power, unilateral disengagement gave the Hamas their power and tripled their

The AP reports: Israeli Avi Zana listened with horror on Thursday to news that the Hamas militant group that killed his son had won Palestinian elections. "The Palestinians have shown their true face by electing Hamas," said Zana, 46. "The group does not want control of the Palestinian Authority, it wants control of all Israel." On the streets of the Jewish state, there was grave concern at

...the wife of jailed Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti accused Israel of hindering Palestinian democracy. "My husband being in an Israeli cell does not help the Palestinian democratic cause," said Fadwa Barghouti. Of course not, Mrs. Barghouti, your idea of democracy is the freedom to kill Jews at will. If we are all lucky, your miserable and murdererous husband will rot away in prison, and

"What is crooked will not be able to be straightened, and what is missing will not be able to be counted" -Shlomo HaMelech Nothing to me is sadder than a Jew who begs for the love of the non-Jewish nations. He is like a grabbling fool who is desperate to change who he is, yet in the end he fades from existence. It is as though he never was. Think about it. Where are the secular Jews from

In response to today's Tel-Aviv suicide terror attack: The U.S. government is trying to ensure that the terror attack will not harm the PA elections. White House Spokesman Scott McClellan said, following the attack: "We condemn this atrocious attack in the strongest possible terms." "It has wounded tens of innocent civilians.

See the family resemblance? The AP reports: Israel would be ready to open negotiations with the Palestinians on a permanent peace accord after the country's elections on March 28, former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres said Wednesday. Peres said after meeting with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that the aim would be ending the conflict between the two sides and establishing permanent

The AFP reports: HEBRON, West Bank (AFP) - Israel drafted hundreds of police reinforcements to the West Bank town of Hebron in a bid to quell what the press dubbed the Jewish Intifada, sparked by plans to evacuate settlers. The army slapped a ban on non-resident Israelis of Hebron from entering the town centre until January 22 in a bid to quell demonstrations. "Hundreds of Israeli citizens

A post that I wrote one month ago concerning treacherous Arab MKs seems to be causing quiet a fuss. I thought it was old news, but apparently a few bloggers don't agree. As a matter of fact, they went as far as to tag me a racist. Imagine that. According to JC General, believing that Arabs should honor their oath of loyalty to Israel is a crime that makes me a hater of "brown people".

I wrote an article yesterday concerning the Jewish & Israeli Blog Awards (JIBs) being more about popularity than quality Jewish blogging. As I stated prior, I love the awards, and I truly love Jewish blogging. Nothing is greater than to see Jews all across the globe bringing our people's issues to the forefront for the world to see. With this being said, allow me to remind you that with such

A few days ago, I wrote a piece concerning the media's new love affair with Ariel Sharon. In that post I jestingly wrote that Reuters in particular has learned the secret of intercepting Heaven-bound prayers. Today I would like to show the darkside of Reuters. Apparently I didn't pay enough attention to the content of their gallery entitled "Prayers for Israeli PM Ariel Sharon". I decided to

I want to add something to what Ze'ev Orenstein wrote concerning the secular media calling for Israelis to pray for PM Ariel Sharon. While I was at work, I was checking out Reuters, and I am truly amused at what I saw. (Disclaimer: I am an easily amused person). Below is a screenshot of what I saw: Now far be it from me to say that these people are not praying for Sharon, but who is Reuters

After a meeting with French President Jacques Chirac, former U.S. President Bill Clinton stated: "In the end, that's the only answer in the Middle East, you know, reconciliation of the Palestinians and the Israelis based on sharing a small piece of land and an enormous potential future. And, his illness, just as ten years ago Isaac Rabin's death, puts yet another obstacle in the path of the

My Pre-Shabbos Rant: Isn't it amazing how compassionate Western media has been portraying Ariel Sharon this week? One year ago, that same media was calling him a war criminal, a murder, and a war monger. And today how do they see him? They now refer to him as Israel's "grandfather", a man of peace, and a war hero. What a difference a year can make. Kill terrorists your whole life and you're

(Above) A sweet little "Palestinian" child shows his gratitude for Ariel Sharon kicking Jews out of their homes to give to them. Sharon lies in Hadassah in critical condition, and this child is already dancing on his grave. Arabs do not know compassion, nor do they recognize sorrow.

As is well known at this point, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has suffered another stroke and is under emergency treatment at Hadassah Hospital. I do not know what will become of his political career, nor will I speculate as to the outcome of his long term health. It certaily appears to be dire. What I will say is that a lot is riding on the outcome for a lot of different people for a lot of

For the 4th time in a month I have been tagged with another one of those blasted MEME bugs. Admitingly I would like to say no, but I will always do it for a few select bloggers (IfYouWillIt (the same guy who tagged me), Ze'ev Orenstein, Jameel Rashid, Max Samuel, Eitan, Cosmic X, and Stevin). They are part of my immediate blog circle, and I would feel too guilty leaving them out in the cold.
