During my years in the Knesset, the attorney general indicted me for voicing my political opinions (the charges were dropped), lobbied to have my parliamentary immunity revoked and sought unsuccessfully to disqualify my political party from participating in elections — all because I believe Israel should be a state for all [...]
There are plenty of noteworthy articles that are missed every week. To give them credit and rescue them from going unnoticed by my blog readers, I will try to compile some of these articles every weekend in a ‘Weekend Read’ post. Here is the first one:
1. The Holocaust as political asset

A multinational poll finds that publics around the world reject the idea that the United States should play the role of preeminent world leader. Most publics say the United States plays the role of world policeman more than it should, fails to take their country’s interests into account and cannot be trusted to act responsibly.
The [...]

AT THIS moment, negotiations on a prisoner exchange are in full swing.
The term “negotiations” is really inappropriate. “Haggling” seems more fitting. One could also use an uglier expression: “trafficking in human beings”.
The planned deal concerns living people. They are being treated like goods, for which the officials [...]
If you read only one thing today, it must be this piece…

CAN A pantheress turn into a pussycat? Impossible, a zoologist would say. But last week, we saw it happen with our own eyes.
Condoleezza Rice came here to teach Ehud Olmert, once and for all, who is boss. The President of the United States wants to make order in the Middle East, and the [...]

According to the US and Israeli foreign ministers, the Arab peace initiative is a non-binding Arab position for which the Arabs deserve a pat on the back and a friendly nudge to modify it. The very quality of eliciting such encouragement is what keeps the initiative from being an initiative.
Evidently, the [...]
Last year I published the speech of Dr. Nurit Peled-Elhanan*; an Israeli women who lost her daughter to a Palestinian suicide bombing (a must read if you haven’t done before. Today I came across another two speeches by the same Israeli mother, which I think are also a must read/listen and watch.
Please take the time [...]
Update: After reviewing Mark Elf’s objective comments (here & here) and Anna’s concerns more closely, I agree that giving a credit to Freedman’s racist notes concerning the Khazars Jews are not in place and does not serve the purpose, especially that I’m not anti-Jews by anyway, but anti-Zionist by all means.
Therefore, I’m striking throughout [...]
I was told that a new comedy/sitcom aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is called “Little Mosque on the Prairie” and it is amazing. So I went searching for some background of the show and came up with these four clips from one of the episodes. I must say, I loved it. It is [...]

Thursday, November 23, 2006
Let’s be honest (for once): The problem in the Middle East is not the Palestinian people, not Hamas, not the Arabs, not Hezbollah [...]
Lets say “Thank you President Carter.” You can sign the petition at: http://tinyurl.com/ycegyc
This petition was initiated by the Israel-Palestine Working Group of Progressive Democrats of America. They support a US policy that supports the peace, security and welfare of Israelis and Palestinians.
Also, write to Congress to support President Carter. It is important that you tell [...]
Tenet and Black felt they were not getting through to Rice. She was polite, but they felt the brush-off. President Bush had said he didn’t want to swat at flies.
Officials now agree that on July 10, 2001, Mr. Tenet and his counter-terrorism deputy, J. Cofer Black, were so alarmed about an impending Al Qaeda attack [...]
Dear friends,
First, to my Jewish friends, Shana Tova, and to my Muslim friends, Ramadan Mubarak.
It is rather unique that these two events started on the same day this year. So let us hope this is a sign for better days ahead, albeit the world has nearly forgotten how Ramadan would reflect on [...]
