Posted in: Palestinian state in 2 years gets qualified Quartet nod

Et tu Obama? So here is the ultimate betrayal. A Palestinian State forced down Israel's throat regardless of Palestinian 'reciprocity' like ending terrorism, incitement in its schools, or recognizing Israel as a jewish State (i.e., Arab irredentism via a continued struggle for the right of return). The Quartet plays the Auschwitz death march.

Posted in: NCJW, Reform urge Senate GOP to move nominees through

I guess when these so-called Jewish organizations supported the bottling up of Bush's nominees it was OK. But, heaven forbid, the same tactics should be used on a left wing Democratic President. The stench of hypocrisy is pungent.

Posted in: The power of ideas: Irving Kristol, public intellectual and godfather to neoconservatives

It is precisely the closed minded liberal dribble displayed by Mr. Edwards and Mr. Weisbard that Irving Kristol so eloquently and effectively skewered but, unfortunately, this left wing nonsense has been resurrected and is now the order of the day. The U.S., Israel, and the world will once again pay a very heavy price for this intellectual obtuseness. Irving we will miss you.

Posted in: Jewish Agency/MASA change course on ad

This is absurd. Virtually no American Jews will see let alone understand this Hebrew ad appearing on Israeli T.V. What this shows is the incredible obtuseness of some American Jews like JJ Goldberg to hearing the unvarnished truth about the trajectory of US Jewry as its lunges to oblivion through an ineluctable process of assimilation. It's time to stop being in denial and to start to get real about the condition of American Jews.

Posted in: Agudath Israel, Reform praise Obama on universal health care

"Death Panels" - an unfortunate use of inflammatory hyperbole. Nevertheless, so-called expert panels that provide guidance about the cost effectiveness of medical treatments relative to quality of life as previously suggested by Obama and as provided for in some of the legislation now under consideration is the first but important step toward a centralized allocation of what may well be life determining medical decisions. That's how it began in England and is now the de facto the way many of such decisions are carried. .
