Around the Israeli blogosphere…

Leave a Comment

The Israeli blogosphere is on fire. Ok, bad choice of words I guess. A few random links.Israellycool got fired from his job today. His boss finally figured out that he spends 90 percent of his day blogging about the situation. Joking of course. Dave is a live blogging machine. If the flow of information is [...]

ROI120 and I

Leave a Comment

Back from the ROI120 conference. Well rested after a full week of incessant Jewish talking. The sounds of silence was indeed needed and thank goodness, a weekend of solid sleep was accomplished. Yeah, uh, I don’t really know what to say. Although I wasn’t sure what to expect beforehand, it turned out to be completely [...]

We don’t need no Roger Waters…

Leave a Comment

Roger Waters made a stop to the security barrier and spray painted “No Thought Control” on a section of the barrier that is actually a wall (less than 10 percent is actually a wall) near Bethlehem. “No Thought Control”? Pretty damn cheesy if you ask me. And absurd. Considering that Israel has a free press [...]

Bad Connection

Leave a Comment

Last year, on this day, I shared this story with you. Just wanted to let you know that the marriage didn’t last. Perhaps it has something to do with them celebrating the engagement on Memorial Day. In any case, I didn’t feel very connected to the holiday this year. Not really sure why. I didn’t [...]

Support Israeli poultry!

Leave a Comment

No need to get hysterical. So what if the now Israel-based avian flu resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of poultry in the south of the country? Why should I fret that a few cases were also reported at Kibbutz Nachshon, less than twenty miles away from my humble abode? No need to [...]

Matisyahu to Jdub records: F*ck you!

Leave a Comment

The New York Times is reporting that after many years of friendship and artist development, Matisyahu has apparantly become too big for his britches and has dropped Jdub Records as his management. Mobius, who is taking this very personally, has a biting post over at Jewschool entitled “Honor Not A False Messiah.” Ouch.

Inside look at Madonna’s Kabbalah dinner

Leave a Comment

So I lied. My previous post is not actually my last post about Madonna. This probably isn’t either. I wasn’t planning on mentioning her again but when the opportunity arose for an insider view of Kabbalah conference’s gala dinner I couldn’t resist. I’m glad I didn’t. It’s golden. The writer will remain anonymous for fear [...]

Project Y: The Israeli Big Brother?

Leave a Comment

Remember Faris, the Arab-Israeli Christian who won Project Y, the Israeli version of Big Brother? The big prize was to get your own television show on the “cutting edge” channel YTV. His show is called “Blog” and he is one of many personalities who basically sit in their bedrooms and talk to the camera and [...]

Apologies. Again.

Leave a Comment

I haven’t blogged in over a week. Apologies are in order. I’m sure both of you are very upset. Life has been quite chaotic and the more days that go by without blogging the more apt I am not to blog. So consider this the entry that will help me get my groove back. I [...]

Geneva Accords: Freelance foreign policy

Leave a Comment

Many people have been asking me what I think of the Geneva Accords. Well for one thing I don’t believe in freelance foreign policy. It’s dangerous and I don’t like the idea of maverick MKs, former MK’s and political has-beens trouncing around the world pushing policies that the majority of Israelis don’t support. Of course [...]
