Here is a link to a slobbering love fest interview of Haaretz’s terrorist loving “reporter,” Gideon Levy with none other than Hamas’s website. Al Qassam, is the website of the Ezzedin al Qassam Brigades information office. You may recall the name Ezzedin al Qassam as the name of the Hamas terror brigades that vie for credit with Fatah’s Al Alksa…
Over the past two weeks Israel has been rocked by a major espionage scandal in which the Haaretz newspaper plays a central role. To understand the significance of the scandal, it is worthwhile to preface a discussion of it with a look at a smaller story Haaretz developed this week. On Sunday, Haaretz’s Amira Hass reported that in…
Here’s the link to Netanyahu’s speech at the Yom Hashoah ceremony at Yad Vashem. This is why I am relieved that he’s in charge today and not Ehud Olmert, Ariel Sharon, Tzipi Livni, Ehud Barak or anyone else for that matter. I have frustrations with Netanyahu. And I have criticisms of him. But I believe that unlike everyone else, he…
It’s a horrible shock. And there is an ironic aspect to the tragedy which oughtn’t be ignored. Poland’s leadership was decapitated while they were en route to mourn the Katyn massacre. That of course was a decapitation strike by the Russians against what was the natural non-Communist leadership of post-war Poland. Apropos of nothing, here’s an interesting read.

What does Jordan’s King Abdullah want from Israel? This week Abdullah gave a long and much cited interview to the Wall Street Journal. There he appeared to be begging US President Barack Obama to turn up the heat still further on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. As he has on a number of occasions, Abdullah argued that the Palestinian conflict…
Dear Friends, Here is a musical special from the crew at Latma, specially translated into English. The song is a current take on the Passover song Had Gadya – One little goat. Ours is called “Had Bayta,” or one little house. Editing note: the first photo you see in the video is the face of Yariv Oppenheimer, Peace Now’s…
There is an element of irony in the current crisis of relations between the Obama administration and Israel. On the one hand, although US President Barack Obama and his advisors deny there is anything wrong with US-Israel relations today, it is easy to understand why no one believes them. On the other hand on most issues, there is substantive…
This week’s Tribal Update from my Hebrew-language satire website Latma celebrates Passover and exposes how Peace Now has stayed alive all these years even though every single one of its claims has been proved wrong again and again. We also discuss the happy discovery of a lost tribe of Jews in Burkina Faso. I hope you enjoy the show…
