I’ve been very upset by recent goings-on in Israel, and for once the left aren’t fully to blame! Two incidents have rightly caused outrage throughout Israel and the Jewish people worldwide, both right and left wing, religious and secular. Read More »

Unfortunately, as long as Yachad still exist and spew out self-righteous “pro-Israel, pro-peace” commentary (that manages to demonise Israel and push peace further away by absolving Palestinians of blame for the stalemate), I cannot ignore them. Read More »

The left-wing, supposedly “pro-Israel, pro-peace” group Yachad have professed a disclaimer on their blog that ” the views of the bloggers do not necessarily represent the views of the organisation “, presumably hoping that with all the criticism they have had so far, at least they won’t have to take responsibility for the content of their blog.

I am ecstatic that Gilad has finally been released and is home with his family, thank G-d alive and well. As well as he could be under the circumstances; Hamas are capable of anything, so the fact that Gilad is alive and in good physical and mental condition is nothing short of a miracle. Read More »

Israel has agreed a deal with Hamas to release over 1000 Palestinian prisoners/terrorists, in return for the release of Gilad Shalit, who has been held captive for over five years, in unknown conditions, with barely any contact between him and the outside world. Read More »

In a speech filled with lies, hatred for Israel, and a refusal to accept any responsibility  whatsoever for the Palestinians’ part in the conflict, Abbas on Friday made his bid to the UN for a Palestinian state, without negotiations, and without Palestinian concessions.  It is interesting to note who is for and who is against the bid.

Contrary to what some people may assume, I’m sadly not paid to blog by the Israeli government or anyone else, but I have just been preoccupied with more Zionisty stuff (that I’m also not paid for), and with my alter-life and job (which I am paid for!) So, back to business. Read More »

A billboard of Gilad Shalit has been put up in Manhattan, for one month, near the headquarters of the UN, to mark five years that Gilad has been held by Hamas, since 25th June 2006.. Read More »

The Amnesty-MEMO event on “Complicity in Oppression: Does the Media Aid Israel” that took place on Monday sounds as bad as expected, and it can’t really be called a debate when only one point of view is aired. Read More »

Criticisms of Netanyahu’s excellent – and brutally honest – speech at Congress were varied, from the Palestinians, to the Liberal Intellectual Journalist, to the ‘As A Jew’ Jew : Abbas’ “moderate” Fatah  interpreted Netanyahu’s outline for peace as a ” declaration of war ” , by which they actually meant “we’re bored, we want to start a war “. Read More »

In the last few days we’ve seen Abbas demonstrate more and more extremist tendencies. First he re-wrote the history of Israel in the New York Times , blaming the entire situation on Israel and absolving the Palestinians of an blame, ignoring all the peace proposals they have rejected. Read More »

The Guardian really plugged the Israel haters yesterday; as well as publishing a letter from the senior editor of the pro-Hamas MEMO , they also published an article alleging that the BBC is biased towards Israel, by Tim Llewellyn, another of the speakers at MEMO’s debate yesterday on the same subject.

The senior editor of MEMO (the pro-Hamas group who are tonight, hosted by Amnesty holding a debate called “Complicity in Oppression: Does the Media Aid Israel? ” ) ,  Ibrahim Hewitt ,  wrote in to The Guardian complaining about Obama’s speech ; that Read More »

Tomorrow Amnesty International in London is hosting a debate called “Complicity in Oppression: Does the Media Aid Israel?”, by the pro-Hamas Middle East Monitor Online (MEMO). Read More »

The Fatah-Hamas reconciliation is not good for anyone who wants peace, as it just means Fatah siding with Hamas, who still want Israel’s destruction and refuse to negotiate . Read More »

Nakba Day, when the Palestinians mourn the establishment of the State of Israel, kicked off yesterday morning with a terror attack in Tel Aviv. An Arab truck driver deliberately crashed into several cars , shouting “Allahu Akbar”. He injured 17 and killed one, a 29 year old recently engaged man, Aviv Morag . Read More »

Today is Yom Hazikaron when we remember the 22,867 soldiers who lost their lives defending the state of Israel and the 2,443 civilians who were murdered in terror attacks; 13 in the last year, from a pregnant woman, to a three month old baby, all victims of shootings, stabbings, or rockets.

US forces have finally found and killed the world’s most wanted terrorist Osama Bin Laden, who was behind 9/11. Naturally most of the world is rejoicing, but Bin Laden’s death seems to be the first surprising hurdle for the potential joint Hamas-Fatah government  that was announced last week, who of course can’t agree on a joint reaction to this. Read More »

Hamas and Fatah have agreed a reconciliation to be followed by elections.  Hamas’ position regarding Israel, of course, remains the same. An official confirmed:   “Our plan does not involve negotiations with Israel or recognizing it. It will be impossible for an interim government to take part in the peace process with Israel.
