1. Let's Start With Iran This Time - Before I get to the list of articles below, I have to single out this one - Russia will honour Iran missile deal: minister - Yahoo! News. Gee, thanks guys. Glad to see you have a concept of "honor" - honoring a commercial contract that will only enhance Iran's ability to protect its burgeoning nuclear arms ambitions and increase pressure on the West to act now before the weapons are deployed and operational. Maybe we should reach out to Poland, Ukraine, Georgia and, why not, Chechnya - the US must have lots of extra nuclear stuff just lying around. Bastards.

This picture of Ahmanutjob made me think of "Devo", pictured below


2. New Attraction - from the Canadian Federation of Jewish Students - Size Doesn't Matter - check it out - what a great initiative!
3. Criticizing Israel - Is Israel above criticism? Embassy - Canada's Foreign Policy Newspaper. I'd answer the title of that article with this crap from one of the usual suspects - Rick Salutin - And this is our foreign policy … - The Globe and Mail. I sent this letter to the Globe & Mail in response - maybe I'll get published there - will let you know:
"To the Editor:
Rick Salutin suggests that Canada's foreign policy only has one pillar - total support for whatever Israel does. It seems to me that his columns only have one basic pillar, depending on the day - total criticism of the Conservative Government, Israel, the US or capitalism - and preferably more than one at a time. Talk about the pot and the kettle!"
4. Haredim - While I am the first to admit that I am not the largest fan of the haredim, the following article is not intended simply as an attack on them, but rather for the story itself. Escape from Israel's Ultra-Orthodox: The High Price of Religious Defection - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International


6. More On The Dubai Hit - remember, the world now has one less despicable terrorist in its midst. And if it was a Mossad job, why is Dubai holding some Fatah people (sent back from Jordan) as suspects?


8. Human Rights Commissions - A Dangerous Evolution



10. No Reason For Concern... - Quebec "snowball" jihadist gets life in prison - Jihad Watch. Nothing happens here, right? What about the Toronto 18? What about Montreal? Or Montreal again?

11. Where's The Outrage? Is Goldstone On His Way? Where Are The Usual Suspects? Pajamas Media » Middle East Terror and Double Standards




13. Other Olympic Stories - The whole "Own The Podium" thing is out of all proportion. What is wrong with trying to win, and being honest about it? Why the world finds Canada's quest for Olympic gold strange and adorable. - By Dahlia Lithwick - Slate Magazine


15. Terrorism, Obama and Hamas - Commentary » Blog Archive » Is Barack Obama the Last Best Hope of Hamas? Meanwhile, the Hamas Thugocracy has the temerity to warn off the West - 'West will lose by helping Israel' - Hamas will confront Western nations that support Israel? Sounds like a threat to me - anyone listening?

(Happy Face!)

16. UC Irvine And Free Speech - UC Irvine's free speech debate - latimes.com

17. First Israeli NBA Player - Omri Casspi of the Sacramento Kings has his own Nike ad:


18. Tiger's Apology - Not the official version. Tiger Woods Sincerely Apologizes for Sleeping with Ugly Chicks on Sports Pickle. But seriously, what justifies the major US networks breaking away from regular programming to cover this event live? I'm a Tiger fan - as a golfer - but this ain't the moon landing!
