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."

...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.

"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

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.

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

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.

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).

Israel openly supports Arab terrorism. The territory that is currently being occupied by the self-proclaimed “Palestinians” is a battleground where terrorist factions fight over the scraps of land that Israel ran from. The current Israeli administration promotes the idea of “divesting” from the so-called settlements. The very definition of divesting from a possession is to completely remove

I had an interesting idea. I decided to search for an exact phrase in Google. Not just any phrase, but in particular the phrase "I Love Israel". For those of you whom are not certain on how search engine dynamics work, in order to look up a pinpoint specific phrase, you put the search string in quotations. For Example, "I love gefilte" (Google found 196 websites with that exact phrase). Now

I was in low-spirits until I ran across a website that was kind enough to make mention of me.

There is so much to comment on, and so many thing I would like to express concerning the current state of our people. But I will refrain from speaking my mind this once.

The article isn’t perfect, but I like it enough to re-print it. ================= Article Title: Label Origins Misinterpreted Publication Date: Unknown Author: Sydney J. Harris (1917-1986)

European Jewish Press reports: Israeli academic Professor Robert Aumann received the Nobel economics prize at a glitzy ceremony in Stockholm on Saturday night. But the award was marred by a large group of intellectuals who called for the prize to be withdrawn because of Aumann’s support for the Israeli “occupation” of Palestinian land. Although no mention of the protest was made at the award

Another online video has been released by Second Draft concerning the lies that come out of the Palestinian verison of Hollywood (Pallywood). The "Palestinian victim" is nothing more than a well scripted movie meant to sway world opinion against Israel.

Yes, a new strand of the MeMe virus has struck with devastating effects. I called my doctor to ask him what I could do about it, and he asked me how I managed to catch this twisted sickness more than once. I told him that I was infected by Ze'ev Orenstein AGAIN, and he recommended that I tell Ze'ev to check out his vaccination records just to make sure they were up-to-date. Other than that,

Anti-Zionism is not the same thing as anti-Semitism. It is worse. Before the reestablishment of Israel and prior to the holocaust, anti-Semitism was openly rampant on every corned of the globe.

In many cases Jews were barred entry into universities and

"Blogspot" continues to post the wrong date and time on my posts. It make me wonder if this problem happens to more than just me. On my last posting, it stamped "Saturday, October 15, 2005" as the posting date. It's only October 11th now, and I wrote that on October 9th, so where does it come up with October 15th? Who knows, not I.

I am a Jew in Galus. I therefore am fully qualified to tell other Jews in galus why it is not the place for the them to be. Problem #1) I keep a strict kashrus diet, and I live in Texas. Anyone who has ever lived away from a large Jewish population knows that keeping kosher in such an area is very expensive, and will eat up a large part of your check every week. It's economic stupidity to do

The AP reports: JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's army must stop using Palestinian civilians as "human shields" in operations against suspected Palestinian militants, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled on Thursday. "The army has no right to use civilians as human shields ... It is cruel and barbaric," Supreme Court Justice Aharon Barak wrote in a 20-page judgment. Israeli troops conducting raids

I will try to keep this post as short as possible, as there has been enough written on Jonathan Pollard to fill a small library with books about him. The reason why I bring this up is because Yom Kippur is rapidly approaching, and a patriot for Zion is still locked away in an America prison with no hope for release. Mr. Pollard deserves his long-awaited day for atonement. Contrary to popular

Arutz Sheva reports: U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that Hamas "eventually" will be disarmed but did not state that the terrorist group should be banned from running in the elections. The U.S. has outlawed Hamas, and one of its principles is the destruction of the State of Israel and replacing it with an Islamic state. Rice, in a major address, told a questioner that it is

The AP reports: GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israel seized Fatma Khalaf's farmland five years ago as a security buffer for a Jewish settlement. Now that the Israelis are gone from Gaza, she wants her 50 acres back. But the Palestinian Authority has different plans "We have a plan: that all the lands [appropriated] in Gaza be used for public good," Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said recently.

Shabbos will begin for me in less than two hours, but I wanted to take a quick moment prior to that to talk about an interesting phenomenon. I have noticed that whenever I am online in chat forums, many missionaries (the ones who pretend to be Jewish) are very drawn to talk to me in particular. I don't know why, but that's not the point I am trying to make. The reason I bring this up is because

Ynet reports: Muhammad Ranaim, a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, and a Fatah leader, said a third intifada was very possible. "There could be a third intifada, which would be much more severe than its predecessor." He later went on to state, "...the bottom line is that Israel did not defeat the Palestinian resistance. Israel withdrew from Gaza and accepted the road map, so

The AFP reports: WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US government urged Israel to weigh its actions while simultaneously calling on the Palestinian authorities to dismantle "terrorist networks" amid a series of bombing raids and rocket attacks. "Both sides have responsibilities," stressed US State Department spokesman Sean McCormack. "On the Palestinian side, that responsibility is to act to stop any

Binyamin Netanyahu made the following statement after being defeated by Sharon in the Likud primaries: "I respect the democratic decision of the Likud. The decision also requires a clear commitment on the part of everyone that they will contend in the primary. [Membership in] the Likud is not a conditional thing."

I found this story on the 'net, and I thought it was great reading... It just goes to show that being Jewish means getting assaulted not only physically but spiritually as well. Our battle is not only against Islamic terrorists but also is a fight to save our people from falling into the clutches of missionaries.

Over the last many months, a violent crime was largely ignored by the media. I have no warm and fuzzy explanation as to why it was not covered by any major media outlet. The only explanation I have is ice cold and filled with utter heartache. Since the outbreak of the latest 'Intifada' in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, Israel has received nothing but blatant negative coverage for her handling of the

The AP Reports: Palestinian militants and supporters of Hamas rush to the scene as bodies lay in the street after an explosion during a demonstration by the group in the Jebaliya refugee camp, northern Gaza Strip, Friday, Sept. 23, 2005. A large explosion went off at a Hamas rally in this refugee camp Friday, killing at least four Palestinians and wounding 56, hospital officials said. Witnesses

It's really a waste of energy scratching our heads in wonderment as to why so many Jews supported the expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif and will continue to support the expulsion of Jews from Judea and Samaria. Pick up a book on Jewish history and the answer is clear. This is a classic Jewish battle of the covenant forces and the anti-covenant forces. The neo-helenists are alive and well in
