A thoughtful choice: Mercaz Harav shuns visit by Olmert

Simply stupefying: why are some military officials willing to do things tha
2008-03-05 22:35:00 I read the news about a video that was distributed on YouTube that showed a marine tossing a puppy off a cliff. Whether the dog was alive or dead, the act was still disgusting, and provides ammunition for anti-war and anti-military leftists.

Another intifada?
2008-03-02 19:14:00 The IDF has taken action against the Hamas in Gaza. Unfortunately, the Islamists in Judea/Samaria are going wild too.
