Pesach in the diaspora. Another year goes by, and I am increasingly reminded of how we Jews are seen by the rest of the world: we are the chametz, the bain of their existence. They would rather lie to entire generations than openly acknowledge this, but we know the truth. There's a reason we end every seder with "Next Year in Jerusalem:" it is the only safe place to call home.Or, is it? You know

I like tzedekah. If I didn't, I wouldn't be Jewish. (Contrary to the popular belief of gentiles the world-over that we are cheap penny-pinching misers.) My gripe with tzedekah is the gross amount of waste that goes on in charities everywhere. I don't care how well intentioned they are; when the founder or manager of the charity lives in a house that's nicer than yours, and you're the one

Caroline Glick is a genius.America just abdicated its responsibility to defend itself against Iran and so left Israel high and dry. Nevertheless, the Jewish people is far from powerless. And the State of Israel also is capable of defending itself. But we must act and act immediately.This is where I begin to feel as if I am a broken record with a message that bears repeating: We are alone, we

Postmodernism is the reason why Pig-Man in PCU could do his thesis

What a depressing Shabbat.Unable to tend to news yesterday due to personal reasons, I click on ynet this morning to find that Olmert has agreed to the UN Ceasefire resolution, and that Israeli troops will be withdrawn as early as 48 hours from now. Some Israeli bloggers hate this, some love it, most are confused and don't know what to think.It's bad.Very bad.The enemies of Israel are gathering

You do realize that if any sort of cease fire is accepted by Israel at this point:Over 100 IDF soldiers will have died in vainNumerous Israeli civilians will have died in vainThe Northern economy would have been brought to its knees for no reasonMillions of Israelis will have been displaced for a month for no reasonHundreds of thousands of trees in the Galilee will be burning for no

This probably isn't the most kosher thing to say on Tisha B'Av, but I'm sick and tired of being mournful. I'm tired of living with the stigma of the Holocaust.

I'm still rolling over last night's magnificent CNN report on Jews with Balls. Love it. I love it because it is that humorous and that ironic on so many levels. I love it because it shows that when Israel acts in accordance with the Word of HaShem, the world reacts in awe.

Qana means that Israel has agreed to hault IAF strikes for 48 hours, with conditions. If Israel is attacked, they'll start bombing again. If Israel finds a target that is life-threatening, they will bomb it. If Israel solves the Qana investigation before the 48 hours are over, the bombing will continue.The blogosphere has already reported on sufficient evidence to acquit Israel of any alleged

To dive into a little geula talk for a moment, I'd like to comment on popular talk among Modern Orthodox/Biblical Zionist circles regarding the Spies with the bad report.Of course, we're all familiar with the Torah history of the 12 spies who were sent out by Moshe to reconnoiter the land of Israel. They came back carrying one massive bunch of grapes and bragged about how wonderful the land was

In his plenum speech this evening, Olmert made some startinglingly strong statements for being a leftist nutbag. He also prayed portions of the Prayer for the State of Israel and concluded his speech with quotes from the prophet Jeremiah.He's still talking about accepting the negotiated cease fire demands if Lebanon is willing to comply, but he also said, Olmert explicitly pointed the finger at

Senators Dianne Feinstein (Democrat) and Trent Lott (Republican) both came out in support of Israel in an interview with Wolff Blitzer on CNN minutes ago.
