‘Ware the spider’s web

Posted on Monday 31 May 2010

The eruption of violence that occurred on the high seas in the early hours of May 31, when criminals and terrorists masquerading as peace activists attacked and tried to kill Israeli soldiers, had at least one positive outcome - though I can think of more than one.
It caused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel his [...]

Recipe for a new blood libel

Posted on Monday 31 May 2010

I love watching Israel being exonerated. It has happened time and again over the years: Israel’s enemies falsely level blood libels against the Jews, the reflexively anti-Israel news media snatches and runs – exhilarated – with the story, spreading the perverted version of events far and wide. Sooner or later their “reporting” is shown to [...]

Lest we forget [who owns] Jerusalem

Posted on Monday 17 May 2010

It is not all that unusual for an Israeli politician to garnish his or her speeches with a verse or even two from the Bible (the Tanach or “Old Testament.”) Religious and non-religious Jew alike will dip into the most famous and cherished Hebrew-language original to underscore a message to their people.
Prime ministers have also [...]

‘Rejoice with Jerusalem!’

Posted on Tuesday 11 May 2010

God commands it:
“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you who love her; Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her; That you may feed and be satisfied with the consolation of her bosom; That you may drink deeply and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.”
For thus says [...]

So many tears

Posted on Tuesday 20 April 2010

“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me,
Because the LORD has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
And the day of vengeance of our [...]

Playing the same old (immoral) game

Posted on Friday 9 April 2010

Barack Obama can package it anyway he likes.  After sabotaging his own - glaringly transparent - “bilateral talks” approach, he can table “another” peace plan; he can call it “new.” He can build it on what American administration officials reportedly see as “past progress achieved” in the peace plans littering the last two decades of [...]

First it’s not ‘Islam,’ now it’s not ‘radical Islam’

Posted on Wednesday 7 April 2010

President George W. Bush made the first critical mistake when – in an effort to prevent a backlash against peaceful American Muslims – he moved quickly after 9-11 to stress that the enemy that had perpetrated the worst attack on the United States since Pearl Harbor was not “Islam” but “radical Islam.”
The enemy, the former [...]

Firepan in the woodpile

Posted on Monday 22 February 2010

In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place—Jerusalem. (Zechariah 12:6)
World leaders are beside themselves.
Israel – [...]

Party on, world

Posted on Thursday 31 December 2009

Today, as midnight arrives in country after country, explosions of celebration are set to rend the skies, from over the Opera House in Sydney (GMT minus 10 hours) to over Pearl Harbor in Hawaii (GMT plus 10 hours).

Wherever the Gregorian calendar is held to, toasts will be drunk, fireworks fired, dances kicked off, resolutions [...]

Beware! You’re in grave danger

Posted on Wednesday 2 December 2009

This is an open letter to United Nations and European Union staff members posted in Jerusalem and Israel. Had I the funds I would print this and place it on every one of the myriad UN and EU vehicles driving around this city. Meanwhile hopefully someone will pick it up and pass it on.
