Posted in: Irish comic takes heat for Jewish rant

I thank Anne Cunningham for her sensitivity and sensibility but she needn't apologize for all Irish. We should not stereotype the Irish any more than the Jews. Too bad Tiernan doesn't do more of his act by singling out the "Brits" and their endless persecution of the Irish, particularly Northern Ireland. Like all fads Tiernan will ultimately be laughed off the stage and rervert back to the cave which he managed to escape from.

Interesting story. It further adds to our "ex-nazis" having to watch over their shoulders and toss and turn in their beds in fear of being caught. This is a major event in the history of Spain and it's treament of the Jews, lest we forget where the "Spanish Inquisition" originated. B'a Shalom, L'a Shana Tova
Posted in: Israel's settlement announcement irks negotiators, but unlikely to derail process

when is enough, enough? Since 1948 the only outpost of democracy and civility and yes technical expertise has been the state of Israel. The bottom line is the inability of the neighboring arab states to tolerate a Jewish entity in their midst. The only land that has been given up was done by Israel. If Gaza is any example of the arabs turning fertile land with greenhouses and all the tools to become economically sufficient into a sandbox, they sure screwed that up. Instead it gave more of an opportunity to fire their missiles into southern Israel, specifically the city of Sderot. The arabs don't understand the Israeli mentality which is willing to negotiate for peace but not their security and existence. What other country wins a war and must sue for the peace. The UN is about useless being a hot-bed of arab intrigue and intransigence. Until the arabs love their children more than they hate the Jews, this will go nowhere.

What is with this "Mussa"? Evidently he's suffering from a lack of attention but he sure attempts to obtain it this way. How insulting can one human being be toward another. Were i the editor of this blog I think some standards of behavior should be applied since I find Mussa's utterings disturbing.
