You Just Might Be An Assimilated Jewish Liberal…

Those who watch the Tennessee Country Music Network or Comedy Central have come across comedian Jeff Foxworthy. Foxworthy's shtick, based on an exaggerated hillbilly accent and mannerisms, revolves around his making pointed observations followed by his standard joke line, "then you just might be a redneck." (Example: "If you have eight motor vehicles in your yard and none work...then you just might be a redneck.")

Builders And Destroyers

Criminalizing Our Religious Beliefs

When Bob Jones University in Virginia discriminated against blacks for religious reasons, the Supreme Court ruled that the school had forfeited its tax exemption.

Fifty-Five And Counting: Israel’s Uncertain Birthday

Israel celebrated its 55th birthday last week. The good news is that five years ago it did not look like it was going to make it to 55. The bad news is that 60 is still in doubt, 65 even more so.

Worry Not, My Child

Your voice - raised to Heaven as it cries out for your exiled children while beseeching for those who have returned - causes me to shake and shiver in the urgency of the current matter.

Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss

There is something strange about an individual carrying two different names - I'm sorry, but it casts aspersion on one's character.

Holocaust Reparations And German Selectivity

Military conflicts always lead to casualties, and compensation is not always demanded.

1) Another Zionist Crime, And 2) A “Well, Duh” Moment

1. I just know you are going to be outraged by this violation of the human rights of Arabs by Jews and will want to demand a full investigation and indictment of the guilty. Such things are simply intolerable in a civilized country. They violate the Road Map and the very Osloid foundations of Ariel Sharon's new government.

The Emergence Of Oslo Revisionism

Of all the developments in Israel over the past couple of years, I find the very scariest and most dangerous to be the emergence of a new form of historic revisionism that should becalled Oslo Revisionism. Like Holocaust revisionism, the fashionable term for Holocaust Denial, this is a nefarious attempt to rewrite history and invent a false narrative regarding the history of the Oslo peace process. It is just the latest manifestation of the totalitarian nature of Israel's Left.

Do we really want to put ourselves in the position where those petty issues we love to debate are finally decided upon?
