Potpourri of news
2008-12-11 17:31:00 A report shows that Israeli police discriminate quite a bit against Jews living in Judea/Samaria. Pure disgrace, and isn't that something: they consider them worse than even some of the gangsters who are running rampant in Hertzlia and Netanya. The elections committee has accepted an appeal by Likud candidate Ophir Akunis to move Moshe Feiglin down to the 35th slot. Which is okay with me. Maybe More About: News , Potpourri

Likud primary election has some good folks, but there's still what to consi
2008-12-10 17:38:00 Now that the Likud's primaries have taken place, I want to first say that they have a very impressive lineup.

Dubya is mistaken on the mideast
2008-12-08 22:16:00 Daniel Pipes looks at one of Dubya 's recent speeches where the outgoing president claimed that the middle east is now a freer place. Alas, Dubya is either mistaken, or is unable to admit the reality. For example, Turkey is slowly moving back towards Islamic fundamentalism, and anti-Americanism, and Arab rejectionism of Israel has spread. And even Pakistan is nearing a state of Islamofascism.

A real irony

A thoughtful choice: Mercaz Harav shuns visit by Olmert
2008-03-09 21:52:00 This Hebrew-language article on Walla tells that Mercaz Harav has wisely thought to turn down a visit by Ehud Olmert . After all, his policies have led to this happening and letting him visit will not make things any better.
