Aussie Dave Gets Threatened With Death

And by “took exception”, I mean “threatened to kill me.”

For the record, not one member of the group spoke out to condemn the death threat. In fact, the only response I received was [...]

Purim Fool

On Purim, Israeli news sites take part in the festivities and post nonsensical stories in line with the jovial nature of the day.
One such story is this one from Ha’aretz, in which it was “reported” that the Israeli government is set to approve sponsorship messages on the Western Wall.
Most people go to the Western Wall [...]

A few days ago, I posted about a Facebook group in support of ISM terror enabler Bridget Chappell, which cast a light on her support for terrorist activities and hatred for Israel. It also showed how she lied about her name, as she was posting under the name Brigette Dostojevkij.

The Day In Israel: Wednesday Mar 17th, 2010

The US is waiting for Israel’s response to demands raised by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, including the cancellation of the Ramat Shlomo construction project in East Jerusalem, yet more goodwill gestures toward the palestinians, and a public declaration by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of his willingness to discuss the conflict’s core issues in the [...]

Art?

Art?

Just when you thought Roseanne Barr dressed as Hitler was as disturbing as you could get, along comes someone to outdo it.

And there’s more, such as baby Idi, baby Khomeini, baby Mussolini, and baby Saddam (no baby Arafat though).
