Sarah Palin just spoke out loudly what's on the mind of Israel-loving Jews! Way to go, Sarah! J-street booo!

Posted in: Egyptian blames Jewish 'conspiracy' for UNESCO loss

The last I heard, neither Israel nor the US were any longer filing any vocal protest against Hosny. It was just that Hosny was simply useless for most of the countries that contribute to UNESCO. They simply soberly assessed their interests and said they don't need that jerk.

Posted in: Cantor: Obama not 'true friend' of Israel

Kol Ha-Kavod to Rep Cantor for speaking Truth to Power By the way, there will certainly be more Jewish Republicans in the next House of Representatives. I've just heard Sen Joe Lieberman is also thinking of reregistering, now that he's no longer on the Dem ticket, :-) Wouldn't that be nice?!

Posted in: White House: Official 'misspoke' on Goldstone report

Ari, don't be silly. Of course the US vetoed every single piece of criticism because they considered it in its own right. When there was no Israel, remember, Franklin D Roosevelt didn't lift half a fingure to destroy the death camps or the railroads leading there. Why? Proportionally, the Jewish population in the US in the 30-40s was larger than it is now. So what gives? The reason US (and UK) did not intervene then was simply because they were not in competition. But after Germany was defeated, and Israel managed to defend itself, suddenly the US became interested in keeping Israel in the Western camp. So the more weakness Israel shows, the less intimidating it is, the less it is also an interesting ally.

Posted in: What's next for the Goldstone report?

Well, well well, DRE again - hasn't changed in the last 70 years I remember quite well the times when Goebbels and Hitler were appealing to the good Jewish groupds to condemn the evil acts perpetrated by the rest of the Jewish-Cosmopolitan-Bolshevist whatever, evildoers. If you would read the "Stuermer" even then, those Germans were also very concerned for the fate of the Muslims in the League of Nations mandate.
