Degenerates in Lebanon

Nathan — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 13:17:40 +0000

Our old pal Nasrallah up in Lebanon appeared in public for the first time in a long time according to recent news posts. Not to rehash all the old news about how Israel messed up in not being able to lay proper waste to this man in the LW2 and also to avoid thinking too [...]

Reason #378 Why Jews Stop Being Jews

Nathan — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 14:03:25 +0000

From YNet this morning, an uplifting and thoughtful decision on gender roles:

…prominent Zionist-religious leader explained that women are allowed to study specific verses from the Gemara, which deal with “subjects related to them,” but they “shouldn’t study Gemara like men.”

This on the wire:

UN criticizes Israel for Golan Heights annexation Human Rights Council passes two resolutions criticizing Israel, but keeps its record intact of singling out no other country for human rights abuses

Hmmm, what do you think? 6 months in existence and the first thing this tribunal takes on is Israel? Not China, [...]

Declarations of Independance

Read this, the Israeli Declaration of Independence. Why was I reading this today? I forget, but I was curious about this moment in history. Notice this:

The catastrophe which recently befell the Jewish people – the massacre of millions of Jews in Europe – was another clear demonstration of the urgency of solving the problem [...]
