Last week, the Jerusalem Post ran a front page story on the decision of the Supreme Muslim Council, in 1945, to turn the Mamilla Cemetery into a business center. The reason the Post gave it such prominence is because it belies the sheer hypocrisy of Palestinian groups and a few of their Israeli supporters and NGOs who, for four years, have criticized the Simon Wiesenthal Center for building a Museum of Tolerance on what was once the City’s municipal car park. The article appeared in the Palestine Post on page 2 on November 22, 1945, when Jerusalem was still under British Mandate and before Israel came into being.

Once upon a time there was an America that wasn’t embarrassed to be like a Gary Cooper or Joel McCrae character: big and straight-talking; at times a little rough around the edges but so quick to smile you felt like the sun was coming out after a rainstorm.

Shanah Tovah, everyone. It is, as always, so wonderful to see the Midway family gathered together for Rosh Hashanah. And this family keeps growing. Checking the roster the other day I noticed that we were about 800 families strong and all I can say is ken yirbu—may that number increase.

And since the US is Iran 's second target, the Bush administration has made clear that if Iran attacks Israel , the US will launch an attack against Iran . That is, the US will fight to ensure that Iran won't be able to attack it if America moves to the head of Iran 's target list. But as long as it's only No. 2, it will take no action. Read More...
It has been two years since the war against Hezbollah and yet Jews around the world are still feeling the side effects. With the recent prisoner swap between Israel and Hezbollah, and the terrible reality being faced of Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev being killed, there have been mixed emotions between both Israeli and Diaspora Jews. I have had countless conversations with different people regarding this topic. I have found that most are angry, feeling that this trade is one-sided and too risky. Others completely ignore the topic and give me their take on how Ehud Olmert is a criminal and should not even be in office. Regardless, everyone has a story to tell. As do I. Read More...
