Is this really how Jews want to be seen? Here’s Melanie Phillips, frothing Zionist, speaking at a conference in the illegal Jewish colony of Ariel in late 2010, on why Israel and the Jews must fight back, must never give in to, well, everybody. Note the complete lack of stated facts. Everything is an emotional…

Just one more way the US political elite backs Israel’s move towards one-state
And not a peep from the Zionist Diaspora about ever-expanding expulsion of Palestinians from Jerusalem: Irving Moskowitz, the retired Florida businessman who is developing a controversial Jewish apartment project at East Jerusalem’s Shepherd Hotel, is a top campaign contributor to Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), the new GOP chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, campaign…
Where’s the celebration that Israel doesn’t see Iran as a threat?
What, you missed the news, that the outgoing Mossad chief essentially said Tehran wouldn’t get the bomb until at least 2015? Maybe.
No, not just Islam that can be vehemently anti-women
Really: Anyone who believes religious traditions only oppress women in faraway places should hear my story.

The report includes several other unprecedented…

Zvi Bar’el, Haaretz: The Knesset does not want to look like the parliaments in the Arab countries, but it does not want to give up the authority to act like them. It wants to act as if there is a law against receiving contributions from foreigners without actually having to legislate it and make a…
Israeli academics grow a backbone, ever so briefly
Finally: Some 155 university and college faculty members have signed a petition calling for an academic boycott of the Ariel University Center. In the petition, the lecturers state their “unwillingness to take part in any type of academic activity taking place in the college operating in the settlement of Ariel.” Furthermore, the petition states that…
Israel seems to ignore everybody including the men bringing the aid
God help the Middle East when the US offers some pathetic responses. Scott McConnell reports for Mondoweiss: Just had a Jerusalem meeting with a US government official. Inevitably, as our group is a delegation from Churches for Middle East Peace, someone asks, “What can we do back home to most effectively advance the peace process?”… …
