The best hope to negotiate a peace deal would be for the Palestinian people themselves to accept the existence of Israel and to democratically elect a leadership that would carry out their wish to reach a peace agreement.
If the Palestinians are st…
Could it be that what is important is not the world but HaKadosh BaruchHu?
This is an important question and I`ll try to answer it even at the risk of being boring and over-philosophical to some readers.
While reading European publications makes it seem as if the continent turned against Israel the actual European-Israeli…
The vast majority of nations with democratically elected governments are friendly to Israel. Switzerland did vote for the Goldstone report, but other democracies either abstained or voted against.
It is the nations whose governments were not democr…
skimble, the Statesiders can sometimes be a strange species.
I make a conscious effort to adhere to American spellings and American speech patterns; . . . but still I encounter remarks such as :

Yoel,
I am Jewish but was not religiously observant in the past. Now I am. By the way a large part of the Israeli society is agnostic so using religious beliefs to determine Jewishness can be misleading.
As for being a leftist, I would disclose my…
Forget about this post not being politically correct. Rumers is not grammatically correct either.
What is more to the point, the actions described in the post are not legally correct in the sense that they would be considered a serious crime in eve…
The really important question is not whether Mahmoud Abbas wants peace, it is whether the statistically average Palestinian wants peace.
As for Palestinians in Gaza, this question will not have an answer, because Hamas will be answering for them an…
Today's technology can make it possible to keep the holy site exactly as it is today for Muslims to use on their holy days, to become the place of prayer for Jews on Jewish holidays, and to accommodate others - such as Christians - who would want to…
Goldstone report was born of hate and executed in sin, said Israel's representative Gabriela Shalev. She added that Israel cannot be expected to take further risks for peace unless the international community recognises Israel's right to defend itse…
Hi Skimble, can we add UNRWA (United Nations Relief for Warring Arabs) to the list with:
8. the right to succor populations shooting ChiRussoranian (homemade) missiles and all other methods to kill and maim Israelis?
Love, Kevin
There is a very simple way to check how much of a joke is Chairman Mao in today's China: let someone publicly burn his portrait, and see what happens to the person later.
Yes the list is out of date. I intentionally borrowed from the past to show the alternatives to the so-called Western democracy in all their glory.
Some things do not change though, like the special cellars where those who are unenthusiastic about…
Eichman was not arrested outside of his jurisdiction. He committed a crime against the Jewish people, so the proper jurisdiction was the Jewish nation of Israel (His crime was not against Germans, Poles, etc. -- but against JEWS in those countries,…
If the "little book" refers to "The Thought of Chairman Mao Tse Tung", this is regarded as something of a joke in P.R.China. A better substitute for this would be, "The right to compete with the West in their own game, and win." Also, the "Democrati…

- If you publish a comment in "reply" and afterwards the post you have replied to is deleted, your will disappear too.
