Subject: Matzo



A Jewish man took his Passover lunch to eat outside in the park. He sat down on a bench and began eating a piece of Matzo. A little while later a blind man came by and sat down next to him. Feeling neighborly, the Jewish man passed a sheet of matzoh to the blind man. The blind man ran his fingers over the matzo for a few minutes, looked puzzled, and finally exclaimed, "Who writes this s--t?"

Spanish Mayor's Decision to Commemorate 'Palestinian Genocide' On Holocaust Memorial Day 'Shameful'



Update: (January 30, 2007) The so-called "commemoration of the Palestinian genocide" in Ciempozuelos was cancelled following a public outcry and the intervention of the Spanish Foreign Ministry.

"Hurray! We're Capitulating!"



By Henryk M. Broder

The prevailing feeling among Muslims is that they are being abused by the West. What should we do about it? We might as well surrender. After all, we're already on our way.

This essay is an excerpt of Henryk M. Broder's book "Hurra, Wir Kapitulieren," ("Hurray! We're Capitulating") published by Wolf Jobst Siedler Verlag in 2006. The book spent a number of weeks atop the DER SPIEGEL bestseller list.

By MORTON ABRAMOWITZ and LESLIE H. GELB February 9, 2007; Page A11

Not many in Washington think President Bush's military surge will solve Iraq, but there is plenty of enthusiasm for a diplomatic surge. The Iraq Study Group, much of Congress, think-tankers and media pundits urge diplomacy as the way out. "Give diplomacy a chance," they say. "Talk to everybody, especially the bad guys, and we'll find common ground." The general enthusiasm is not surprising, given the decline of diplomacy during the [...] 8269 145 48_Fw: Watch STAR OF DAVID Boxer DMITRY SALITA !!!!11_Steve Klein26_kleinsdesigns@SOCAL.RR.COM31_Sat, 10 Feb 2007 10:02:50 -0800885_Windows-1252

By Ruth Dudley Edwards





The conviction this week of a Muslim radical for inciting racial hatred once again highlights the growing threat posed by the pernicious fringe of Islamism. We have only ourselves to blame, says Ruth Dudley Edwards







'UK you will pay, Islam is on its way," is the chilling slogan favoured by Muslim radical Abdul Saleem, who was convicted this week of stirring up racial hatred at a rally in London last year. Addressing the crowd in Belgravia Square, near the Spanish and German embassies, Saleem was filmed saying: "There will come a time [...] 9059 174 37_"Taliban-like" Jewish fundamentalists16_Genevieve Marcus20_drmarcus@PACBELL.NET31_Mon, 12 Feb 2007 18:23:27 -0800704_us-ascii "And in a major decision last month a committee of leading ultra-Orthodox rabbis here ruled that Haredi women should no longer be allowed to get academic degrees beyond high school."

Dr. Robert O. Freedman













Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan had three major goals. The first was to demonstrate Russia's renewed power and influence in a region where American influence is on the decline. The second was to facilitate Russian economic relations with the countries he visited. The third goal was to continue Russia's effort to minimize Arab support for the Chechen rebellion against Russian control, a rebellion which the rebels are carrying out in the name of Islam.

Tzanchanim who had ochre shoes while everybody else had to settle for black knew they were distinguished even when they were barefooted. (Barefoot boy with cheek.)

In the past year, a stream of thinkers across the Westfrom Australian writer Antony Loewenstein to US academics John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walthas punctured the usual parameters of debate about Israel.

It's my recollection (albeit from afar in New York) that the more immediate and proximate scandals that brought Likud to power in 1977 were twofold: 1) Golda Meir's arrogant mis-handling of pre-Yom Kippur war intelligence and 2) the scandal of Leah Rabin's DC bank account.
