Going from First Lady to the Eleventh Lady

19-Oct-06

(Hat Tip: The White House)
I don’t like the way the whole country meddles in celebrities personal life, especially politicians. I don’t wish to know them personally, and sure as hell don’t want to hear about their sexual habits. And haven’t we had enough of this issue already? Sure.
But have we really come to [...]

Hezbollah Dot Com

18-Oct-06

It’s all about good public relations, so they say. Many criticize Israel’s incompetent information policy, especially when seen in contrast to the Muslim ever-alert lobby, always willing to provide its own interpretation to the Middle Eastern conflict we seem to be unable to get ourselves out of. Whereas the Israeli authorities do not supply on-going [...]

With a president being charged with 4 counts of rape and sexual assault, our Justice Minister being also accused for impropriety with a VERY young woman, I think these animals in Jerusalem can show us a think or two about the beauty of life!

Most recently these new immigrants, or Olim, have been arriving from countries such as Argentina, North America, the U.K. and especially from France. France, which is still known for having the largest number of Jews on [...]
