Why us Jews do what we do
Joseph Dana and Mairav Zonszein, activists and friends in Jerusalem, are interviewed by Jew School on their incendiary and important video reports on mainstream Israeli attitudes: I never referred to myself as an activist as I feel like it is a bit of a dirty, dismissive word. Don’t get me wrong, Ta’ayush is engaged in…
The true barrier to peace is here
The New York Times reports on the crazy, West Bank settler movement: At the Neria outpost celebration, Noam Rein, a father of 10, looked out across the hills at Ramallah and called its presence “temporary.” He added: “The Torah says the land of Israel is for the Jewish people.

Bring Bush back
A former worker in the Israeli Prime Minister’s office, Gregory Levey, suggests that the Obama administration appoint George W. Bush as his Middle East envoy to pressure and cajole Israel. Clearly Levey has never spoken to any Arabs in the Middle East; Bush isn’t the most liked individual.
Stand on your own feet
Israel clearly doesn’t like being pressured to change its behaviour, despite sucking on the tit of Washington: Israel alone in a poll of 25 nations has decreased its approval of the United States since President Barack Obama took office earlier this year, according to a recent survey. “The image of the United States has improved…
Obama is the devil, some Jews think
Yet another episode in the ongoing series we love to call, “mad Jews in Israel“.
