Posted in: Calif. rep inquires about anti-Semitism policy

Apparently according to DOE, civil rights were never meant for Jews

Posted in: Police question Lieberman for fifth time

This article reports about the interrogations, but does not go into why the police are focusing specifically on Lieberman, and specifically now when he became the Foreign Minister. Neither does this article raise the possibility that these investigations might be politically motivated. I wonder how much $$$ is being siphoned by foreign governments to left-leaning Israeli politicians so that they support concessions to Hamas and Fatah. Are the police going to investigate that too?

Posted in: Relative of Israel's first president beaten

"...The officers detained the tenant, but he was released the following day. Police have not decided whether to press charges. Bogotyreva went to the hospital with bruises on her back, legs and shoulders..." This is even more enraging than the home invasion and the beating, but not surprising. Moscow police and prosecutors are just useless swine.

Posted in: Jewish girl beaten in Paris over Gaza

it is because of dirty stinky countries like france that we need Israel, otherwise there would be nowhere else to go It is too bad that Israel is dependent on diplomatic ties with these euros, I hope they become insignificant and irrelevant

Posted in: Rothman wants Jewish backing for UNRWA bill

Is Israel is threatened with being prosecuted for "war crimes" while these UNRWA organized conspirators are supporting a terrorist organization.

Posted in: Israeli troops leaving Gaza amid Hamas vow to rearm

This article goes into detail about the withdrawal, but does not discuss the intense political pressure on Israel by the EU, US, and UN that forced Israel to withdraw, or the factors and motivations behind that pressure.

Posted in: J Street criticizes Israeli strikes

J-Street should change name to A-Street.

Posted in: Rabbi: Kick Madoff out of the Jewish people

I'm Jewish, but I absolutely agree with Ima Gentile. Indeed, Hoenlein sounds like he is only concerned about the harm caused to Jews. Hoenlein's train of thought, even though others may agree to it, sounds very ugly to me. First of all, how do you make somebody "un-Jewish" after they have been born Jewish? What other nation un-naturalizes its natural born? And what is the point of out-casting a bad person into the general society -- does the general society deserve "receiving" all these bad people?? Isn't it bad to throw your own dirt onto others? Hoenlein's train of thought is ugly because it shows a lack of a sense of responsibility for fellow Jews and for the general society. Madoff will be prosecuted in a criminal court, and if convicted guilty he will be sent to prison and forced to pay a fine. Upon the completion of this burden he will be given a chance to return to the society. That is how criminal activity is dealt with in modern civilized society. But this idea of out-casting people who are no longer liked is really an evil and pre-civilized way of thinking, that has done a great deal of harm to the Jewish society. If Hoenlein speaks up now, where was his courage to speak up before when Madoff was ripping all these people off?
