The End of Israeli Baseball?
2008-06-18 14:53:00 It?s a sad day. Actually, it was a sad day several weeks ago when Haim Katz, president of the Israel Association of Baseball, told The Jerusalem Post that the Israel Baseball League has been cancelled for 2008 and its future is in jeopardy. I just learned about this recently through Walk Off Walk. Anyway, there seems to be a disconnect between the Israel Baseball League and its website. The IBL website still has a countdown to opening day featuring a rematch of last year?s championship game between the Modi'in Miracle and the Bet Shemesh Blue Sox on June 29, 2008. I hope that they are not still selling tickets! (Update: When I originally drafted this post, the countdown was active; it is not anymore.) I was actually very excited about the league and briefly wrote about it last year. Although it was essentially another minor league, the fact that it started from scratch and included players from all over the world was unique. It seems that the league was more than just a gi...

Great Video on the Israeli Lobby
2008-06-11 08:09:00 Updated June 18:It's about 50 minutes long, but you might want to at least take a peek.Of course it's out of Holland. This documentary could never have been made in the US.The most astute observations are made by Tony Judt, but there's a lot of other gems in their too. Look for the former chief of staff for Colin Powell, Lawrence Wilkerson, and Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy, for some great insights too.Richard Perle is lying as we might expect, but even he says a lot of truths about the incredible power of this Lobby and it's hold on US government and society. He's also not near as nasty as we might expect - no ferocious denunciations of "anti-Semites". In fact, screaming anti-Semite is pretty much absent in this video, a welcome change for the usual tired fare.It's terrible what these shits did to Walt and Mearshimer, but it's to be expected. First they called them anti-Semites, of course, then they challenged the scholastic integrity of their work. This is Lobby par ...

The US Presidential Candidates and the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict
2008-06-09 21:05:00  By Shimon Z. Klein In the Middle East, most of the people are following the presidential elections with great interest.

Top Israeli official: 'We will attack' Iran to halt nuclear program
2008-06-07 04:17:00 On Deadline - USATODAY.com As Israel's prime minister returned from discussions at the White House, his deputy said in a newspaper interview that "we will attack" Iran if Tehran continues its nuclear program, the Financial Times reports. Prime Minister Ehud Olmet also warned Iran-backed Hamas it might face a "harsh operation" in response to rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip. "Attacking Iran, in order to stop its nuclear plans, will be unavoidable," Shaul Mofaz told the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper. "If Iran continues with its program for developing nuclear weapons, we will attack it. The sanctions are ineffective." It was the most explicit threat to date from a member of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's cabinet. In 1981, Israeli warplanes destroyed Iraq's nuclear reactor.

The Syrian-Israeli Peace talks
2008-06-02 09:00:00 And so the Syrians are having an actual Peace talks with the Israelis under the blessing of the Turkey , the new Power of the middle East. Surprise , of course our official media are speaking in the infamous way "Now they are imitating us those who can't liberate their land !?? it is so late" This is disgusting talk I read it and I felt so so so sad because I know that Egypt should stand with Syria in that critical time , she should leave her like what happened to us in Camp David. Anyhow I do not put much hopes on these talks because I believe it is a public stunt by Ehud Olmert . Guys pay attention to Israel internal affairs , Olmert is on the break of resignation or accusation of corruption or even both , he needs this to raise from his popularity , the tough warrior image did not work and so he goes to the Peace Maker , who will solve Israel's problems. Timing is critical , in fact you will know that it is a public stunt or even a way to seek for person...
