David Goldfeld (63) lives in Kiryat Shemona. In last week’s Katyusha attack his house took a direct hit. The house was severely damaged but the man and his wife are fine and their only concern is 8 year old “Lutak” who was injured and is undergoing surgery. The owner said he hopes doctors can save [...]

Palestinian State: Likud – No Kadima – Yes Labour – Yes Giving up land: Likud – Unclear, the party provided a list of areas it will want to keep Kadima – Yes Labour – [...]
Well we took a break from the elections but there’s no avoiding it any longer. They are coming. So what has happened in the last couple of weeks in politics you ask? All images are from Arutz 2′s “Eretz Nehedert”. Well Bibi (Benjamin Neyanyahu) is leading the Likud. “Killed” Silvan Shalom real quick. I believe [...]
As the EL AL plane touched down at Ben Gurion Airport the voice of the captain came on: “Please remain seated with your seat belts fastened until the plane has come to a complete stop and the seat belt signs have been turned off. We also wish to remind you that using cell phones is [...]
Ma Ma Ma MY MENORAH – Blast it !
By Denis Schulz. When Jed Clampett heard that Arnold Ziffle needed a life saving operation he wrote out a check for $100; when Elvernie Bradshaw needed a breast reduction he chipped in ten bucks even though the very idea had him shaking his head; and when floodwaters threatened the folks on Coonskin Creek, Jed hustled [...]
By Denis Schulz. Al Capp was one of the great cartoonists of the 20th Century-perhaps the greatest. There was Walt Kelly and Bill Watterson and not much else. Who can forget the Yokums and Marrying Sam and Senator Jack S. Fogbound? And Daisy Mae Scraggs did more for ragged short shorts than Marilyn Monroe did [...]
It’s Christmas Day and the weather here is as close as it gets to snow. Raining, gray and cold. I miss the holidays a little. I leave CNN on the whole day so I can hear Christmas Day news that always seem to have a slightly more positive note then the usual noise. Tonight is [...]
My uncle is an avid photographer and in one of our recent family dinners he pulled out the “old” albums and we took a walk down memory lane. So these are some of the pictures. These were taken between 1967 and 1968, some are just days after the Six Day war and they are taken [...]
The official Full Mouth Yawn finalists in Knesset.
I met the ceramics artist and illustrator Nathan Halpern in his home in Mevaseret Zion, just outside Jerusalem. Born in 1947, Nathan Halpern has been illustrating, mostly for children books, for over 15 years. Browse through the children’s book section in an Israeli bookstore and you’ll see his work. Nathan Halpern graduated the Visual Communication [...]
I was watching a popular talk show last night and it was interesting to see the wide spectrum we have in the Knesset today. On the Yair Lapid Show, a talk show on Israel’s Arutz 2, there were two members of Knesset getting interviewed. The first was Shimon Peres (82). Shimon Peres is a veteran [...]
FYI – Just on the news. Seems like Ariel Sharon had a minor stroke. Details are still unclear, he is still in the trauma wing of Hadassa Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. He apparently lost consciousness in his office and was rushed to hospital. He is currently undergoing tests. UPDATE: He seems to be okay. [...]
Bibi visited the Likud Party history museum this week. The museum was opened a year and 4 months ago, but Bibi asked to visit 5 days before the Likud primaries. Must be some sort of coincidence. While there he got his picture taken next to portraits of the founder of the party, Menachem Begin, and [...]
