Israel: Four Young Jewish Ethiopian Girls Segregated At Religious School

I was not happy when I read this story:

The Annapolis Conference: An Exercise In Wishful Thinking?

Maybe. Maybe not. Either way I’m loving it. Why? Simple. Because it’s pissing off Hamas and the Iranian regime.

OneVoice: Naive or Useful?

I’m guessing by now most of you have heard about the OneVoice initiative to collect a million Palestinian and Israeli signatures (or something like that) and then hopefully bring peace between the two sides by mobilizing the moderates.
My first reaction was “awww, how wonderful. Yes, and meanwhile my grandmother and I will go plant some […]
