On Nukes, O ‘Leads’ & the World Laughs
July 2, 2011President Obama’s “lead by example” nuclear-nonproliferation policy of strategic-weapons cuts and treaties (such as the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia) isn’t having the desired effect. In fact, the “fallout” is quite the opposite: All the news points toward a more nuclear world. Just last week, in an exit interview with [...] Political Mavens

An Unbelievable Video of Political Madness
January 14, 2011It’s amazing, in some ways, that Congressman Bob Filner survived this encounter: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Changing the balance of power by changing the power source
January 5, 2011Israel understands better than most that within the framework of the current world system – which relies too heavily on Arab oil – she is in a particularly precarious and unsustainable position, under constant physical and economic threat. And since it can’t seem to get the Arab world to abandon its goal to destroy her, she intends [...]

And the beat goes on
December 24, 2010The latest international effort to vilify the Jews continues to escalate, and along with it, not surprisingly, incidents of anti-Semitism. Meanwhile, Muslims are killing and threatening Christians in Iraq and across the Muslim world, yet most of the media persists in labeling Israel, from which one hears no such stories, the racist country. Incidents of [...]

International Justice: Torture, Evidence & Testimony-Tampering, Beatings, Bribes, Blackmail and Bullying; Prosecutors have Witness Kidnapped, Falsely Imprisoned, and Family Detained and Threatened
November 28, 2010If Americans had any interest in what the future of jurisprudence — and justice — looks like, they would tune into the Hague’s International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, where Orwell’s world has been a reality for the past 17 years. The ICTY is the body that was set up to try cases whose [...]

Golda is still right
November 4, 2010To paraphrase Golda Meir, the world will make headway against international Islamic terrorists when it – the Muslim world in particular – learns to value its own people more than it hates Israel and the Jews. The freedom-loving people of the world need to put old prejudices aside and recognize that the enemy of my enemy is, in [...]

A Contention Free Tikkun Olam Post
November 3, 2010Shalom Sesame! Ma Nishma? Yeah I know! Tikkun Olam is not actually a really badly named blog by a crabby Israel hater in Seattle. It’s also a concept in Judaism whereby one is urged to perfect the world by fulfilling God’s commandments and pursuing social justice. The Repair The World blog recently noted: …Shalom Sesame [...]

Tidbits
October 29, 2010What a great post, below, of the American Jewish World Service gala video. I hate to post this and take away its top position, but I shall take a few minutes away from making my Lady Syna-GaGa corned beef covered suit Halloween costume and post some tidbits from the world. Foremost is the rally in [...]

It Is Time to Stop the Sun Like In the Days of Joshua
October 28, 2010The Israeli solar energy industry is blaming government bureaucracy for its sluggish progress. The Arab oil nations of the world have geopolitically isolated the Jewish Country since its founding. This is not news. So, in the green era that we are living in, it is not that Israel’s unpopularity in the Arab world does not [...]

Hypocrisy defined
October 13, 2010Some are complaining, naturally, about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for new Israeli citizens to swear an oath to “a Jewish and democratic state.” Critics say it compromises Israeli Arabs’ equality in the country. And that might mean something, if world history wasn’t was it is – if Jews in Arab countries, for instance, had [...]

Are You a Pro-Israel Media Maven? HasbArianna Is
September 15, 2010If you are, the Israeli foreign ministry (MFA) has a junket for you: it’a a real metzieh. Israel has allocated $25-million for hasbara efforts of which $15-20 million will be dedicated to romancing the stones of the pro-Israel social networking and media world: Arianna Huffington, that means you, baby. You’re the leading Hasbara target and [...]

‘Nuclear’ Bomb Satire
September 3, 2010While people around the world are blinded by the mass media and their daily ‘news’ programs, there are true problems in the world. For a moment lets focus on that ‘minor issue’ in the press about Iran and their nuclear capabilities (or soon to be capabilities). Do digest this satirical song of the situation with [...]
