Posted in: Roger Cohen: Sanctions won't work

Roger Cohen must feel that if he keeps talking about Iran, eventually he'll get something right. Germany and France had both become peace-loving democracies before they started talking about European Union. It's a boneheaded analogy.

Posted in: No joke: Mother-in-law sues

Considering I've never heard of any of these people before, I think this is a brilliant publicity stunt! Kudos all around.

Posted in: Florida governor cites Kotel prayer in absence of hurricanes

This of course means that the next time a major storm hits Florida, it's the Jews' fault.

Posted in: PLP closing down

Even though "Mussa Aliwat" is being facetious, as is his or her wont, that comment actually stumbles upon a basic flaw in the whole model currently being followed by the cabal of funders behind ROI, CLI, ReBoot, the former PLP, et al., which is: who gets to decide who's in and who's out? It seems like there is tremendous overlap among the participants in all those programs. Some might even call it a clique. Cliquishness is one of the biggest turn-offs about the Jewish community for those on the outside who these same funders are in theory trying to attract and retain.

Posted in: Unhip Commentary

Wow, what a beautifully written and insightful rebuttal. The only unfortunate thing is that by JTA calling attention to *anything* Commentary does, you basically quadruple their readership.
