Daniel Gordis and the Transferists Among Us
November 21, 2010Daniel Gordis has yichus. He comes from the American Jewish élite. He is a scion of the Gordis family which produced the seminal scholars, David and Robert Gordis, both major figures in Conservative Judaism (David was my Talmud teacher at Jewish Theological Seminary and someone I respected a great deal). Daniel eventually made aliya and [...]

Oklahoma, Goddam!
November 16, 2010During the 1960s, the State of Mississippi had race relations so strained, so violent, so primitive that it often appeared the place was a holdover from an earlier era of human brutality perhaps before civilization took hold.

Israel-Palestine Talks Deadfor Now
October 1, 2010As I predicted, Haaretz is reporting that by Saturday, Fatah will meet and decide to abandon U.S. brokered Israel-Palestine peace talks due to Bibi Netnayahu’s refusal to extend a settlement freeze. It’s the only way this could’ve gone. Now, what I’m wondering about is whether a clamor from the world community on the death of [...]

Bush Counter-Terror Official on Stuxnet: Israel Likely Did It
September 26, 2010A Bloomberg interview with Richard Falkenrath, former counter-terrorism official in the Bush administration points specifically to Israel as the most likely source (see 2:04 of this video) of the Stuxnet computer worm: It is theoretically possible that the U.S. did–that the U.S. government did this.

Yossi Melman on Y., Shabak Secrecy and Tikun Olam
August 26, 2010Today may mark a milestone in this blog’s history–or at least a mini-milestone. Before I identified Yitzhak Ilan as the director-designee of the Shabak recently, I wrote to two Israeli reporters seeking more background information on Ilan.

Is Joseph Moshe Mr. X?
August 17, 2010What do a high speed L.A. car chase, a deadly fungus, a man who may or may not be a Mossad biological weapons scientist, and an unknown Mr. X held incommunicado in an Israeli jail have in common? Perhaps very little or a great deal: therein lies the tale. In 2009, a man named Joseph [...]

Zeek Suspends Hagee Coverage Under Political, Legal Assault
May 25, 2010Rachel Tabachnick, until last month, reported on Christian Zionism twice a month as a contributor to Zeek, the Forward’s companion site. This week, she brought me the troubling news that Zeek’s editor, Jo Ellen Kaiser had forbidden her from writing on this subject or on John Hagee. This happened in the aftermath of legal threats [...] [...]
