• Lord almighty, MSM covers dissing of Biden
  Notice how the mainstream press (Time Magazine) dissed the Israeli government and Bibi. This is new. Change that we can believe in (We hope): Guardian: It doesn’t seem to realise it, but Israel cannot afford to keep on behaving in this disobliging manner towards its friends. Whether it is blatant disregard for international rules concerning the protec […]
• ?Sandbox? neocon persists in epic battle against Palestinian womb
  What was God doing when Martin Kramer decided to name his blog "Sandbox"? Was He laughing or weeping, or just out of town?

• ?Clean and tidy? campaign targets non-Jewish foreigners in Israel
  Pesach is right around the corner. And while Israel will go through the motions of the holiday, it won’t reach the spirit of Passover. Why? Israel has lost its moral compass. I’m not talking about Gaza, the Occupation, or 1948, although the expulsion of the Palestinians is where Israel’s steps first foundered. With Pesach in mind, I’m […]
• Israel?s existential crisis comes to New York
  Often these days I hear people talk about how much progress the left has made in breaking open the Israel/Palestine issue in the U.S., and yes I make this claim myself, but last night offered clear evidence that we are doing so.
