J Street is Not a Friend of Israel’s and Does Not Know What is in Israel’s Best Interest
March 17, 2010A little while back, I had the bitter pleasure of criticizing the J Street student division for having a challenging time describing themselves – and ultimately they rejected the description – as “pro-Israel.” It turns out the J Street students were prescient. They were merely expressing publicly what J Street, the organization, would demonstrate a [...]

Israeli MK: What Do J Street, Rashi and Pigs Have in Common?

English Cyberbully, Weissman, Has Multiple Blogger Personality Disorder
January 28, 2010Yesterday, I wrote about the strange case of Joseph Weissman, who writes the Seismic Shock blog, whose virtually sole purpose seems to be to politically cyberstalk Anglican vicar, Stephen Sizer, for his allegedly anti-Semitic, pro-Iranian, anti-Israel views. Wiseman developed almost a personal vendetta against Sizer, infiltrating his parish’s Facebook profile to send personal messages to [...]
