Sounds like a lot to cover in one post, but believe it or not, these topics are all related. Here’s how.

Maybe its the heat in Israel. As strange as it may seem, it’s often been said that the best place for people involved in hate crimes against Jews to hide out in a Jewish country like Israel. This notion turned into reality on Monday when a high profile member of the American racist organization. The [...]
Ex Israel television personality (for now anyway) Dudu Topaz, appears to be sinking deeper into the quicksand of high profile crime when more names from his ever growing “hit list” were divulged by the police, including ex-wife: Roni Chen. Topaz’s lust for revenge seems to have been so great against Chen, the mother of one [...]
