Subscriber Plugin Problems
March 1, 2011600 of my readers subscribe to this blog via two plugins I use. They receive e-mail notices of new posts I write. I’ve just had the terribly unwelcome news that 388 of those subscribers have been wiped out through some act of God I don’t understand. So if you were used to receiving a daily [...]

Kahanist Orthodox Right Seeks to Make Israeli Commerce Arabrein
January 27, 2011In Germany, Nazis were proud to empty important segments of society of Jews and make them Judenrein. Ridding the nation of the noxious influence of Judaism became an idée fixe, an obsession and ideological underpinning of the fascist movement. I’ve noted here in the past, most recently with the rabbinic editorial calling for death camps [...]

Palestine Papers: PA Collaborated With Israel to Kill Fatah Militants
January 25, 2011Now I see why Fatah protesters occupied Al Jazeera’s offices in Ramallah yesterday. Today’s publication of the Palestine Papers series exposes the PA negotiators with Israel as collaborating in the assassination of their own Fatah-affiliated militants in Gaza. To be clear, I’m not one who favors armed resistance from either side of this conflict and [...]

Izzeldin Abuelaish, the Love That Conquers Hate
January 20, 2011Tonight, I heard a great man. I witnessed brilliance. I heard love and grace. Love that conquers hate. Hope that vanquishes cynicism. Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish spoke tonight at Seattle’s Town Hall on his national tour, which will take him to around 20 American cities between this month and April. On January 16, 2009 (today is [...]

Dagan, Peace Activist, Humanitarian?
January 14, 2011Yes, you read the headline right. Though there is a touch of sarcasm in it. Meir Dagan‘s valedictory on leaving the Mossad, where he was director for eight years, was remarkable for a man who was asked when appointed by Ariel Sharon, to go about his job with a “knife between his teeth.” In fact, [...]

Israeli Settler-Rabbi to Infertile Jewish Couples: Goyish Sperm Leads to Criminality, Barbarism
January 13, 2011I swear these rabbis are such sitting ducks sometimes I feel sorry for ‘em that I have write posts like this. But given the nuttiness they espouse, what choice does one have? One of Israeli Orthodoxy’s leading rabbinic lights, Rabbi Dov Lior, chief rabbi of that idyllic Jewish town of Hebron, told a conference at [...]

Israel and Palestine: Free the Prisoners
January 3, 2011Thanks to Michael Levin for creating this wonderful poster which illustrates the hypocrisy or at at least obliviousness of those campaigning for Gilad Shalit‘s release who neglect the fact that there are 7,000 Palestinian prisoners languishing in Israeli prisons as well. They all await their freedom. Please do your very best to circulate this image [...]

Well, first you should note my methodology – these are the posts that had the most visitors and as such they represent the interests of people who accessed Jewlicious via search [...]

U.S. Military Attache in Israel: Ahmadinejad Like Little German Guy With Moustache
December 23, 2010From the looks of it, the job of the U.S. military attache in Tel Aviv is to echo the views of Israel’s leaders, generals and spymasters. Otherwise, how does one account for the fact that in his farewell interview with the IDF magazine, BaMachaneh, Lt. Col. Rick Burgess likened Iran’s president to Adolph Hitler and [...]

Martin Van Creveld: Give Up West Bank or Tell Your Children to Leave Israel
December 20, 2010Hebrew University Professor Martin Van Creveld is one of the world’s foremost military historians. He’s what I’d call a non-ideological, highly pragmatic observer of the Israel-Arab conflict. Because of his academic expertise and reputation as an independent, I feature his work here his as a breath of fresh air compared to the tendentious commentary one [...]

Israeli Photographers Stunning Photo of the Year
December 13, 2010I just read about the Local Testimony photo awards given to the best work by Israel’s professional photographers. Daniel Bar On–whose shocking image from an Israeli nationalist rally outside the Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv, which supported the IDF attack on the Mavi Marmara–won the award for best photo of the year. It’s such an [...]

Send Wikileaks Some Love (and Cash)
December 9, 2010Blogs like this one could not exist without sources like Wikileaks. I have had my own Bradley Mannings provide invaluable information which they and I deemed to be vital for my readers to know. Information which governments and intelligence services like Israel, the Mossad and Shabak did not anyone to know. That is why it [...]

Israels Jim Crow
December 7, 2010I was listening a few days ago to a riveting radio documentary (hear the audio) about the 1950s era execution of Willie McGee, a Mississippi African-American accused of raping a white woman. McGee’s niece, decades after his death, makes a deathbed promise to her mother, McGee’s sister, to get to the bottom of what happened. [...]

Israels Carmel Fire: Racism Rears Its Ugly Head Even in Tragedy
December 4, 2010The worst forest fires ever to have struck Israel are sweeping through the Carmel Mountains surrounding Haifa. 42 prison guard trainees died when their bus was blocked on a highway and burned, thus cutting off their escape. It is the worst loss of life in a natural disaster in Israel’s history. 15,000 have been evacuated. [...]

Mossad and Mujahadeen e-Khalq, Partners in Assassination Campaign
December 1, 2010Two separate pieces of information have convinced me of the likelihood that the Mossad and the Iranian dissident group, Mujahadeen e-Khalq (MK) are knocking off some of Iran’s top nuclear scientists. As I’ve posted here, Haaretz’s Yossi Melman has written that the hand of Mossad is in yesterday’s assassination and near assassination of two senior [...]
