1. What Now? Israel accepts Quartet call for peace talks | Reuters and Israel Wants to Talk; The Palestinians Don’t - Commentary Magazine -what now Mr. Abbas? Also see - Land without peace: Why Abbas went to the U.N. - The Washington Post
2. What Is the Obama Administration Thinking? Assuming, of course, that the verb "thinking" applies.....
- Panetta’s Pointless Warning to Israel - Commentary Magazine (Hey Leon, show some guts and go after Syria or Libya or Iran or Turkey (see below) or China or Russia or.....)
- Why is Obama Rewarding Turkey with Attack Helicopters? Commentary Magazine - (Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?)
- Clinton, in a Sharp Turnaround, Warns Against Even Symbolically Recognizing Jerusalem as Capital of Israel (Hey Hilary - (a) do you remember what you said about this before - oh, I forgot, you are a politician, so pretty much by definition, when your lips move you are lying and (b) why don't you spend more time with your husband, who seems to have a convenient view of past history.... well, except for Monica.....I'll bet he remembers that really well......but I digress - maybe the Clintons should consider this.
- with friends like these, who needs enemies? But it's better to pick on Israel, right guys?
4. Media Bias - New York Times Israel Op-ed Index for September 2011 - according to Barry Rubin, the NYT score was 14 (pro-Palestinian) to 1 (pro-Israel) - that's really balanced, isn't it? But it's not surprising - media bias is everywhere - Blog: Wash. Post's silly semantics against Israel's rightful claims to Jerusalem - and the reason it is important is that every time there is an inaccuracy or a lie, it hurts Israel's image in the eyes of the unknowing and uncommitted.
5. Speaking Of Media Bias - well, maybe not this time - Syrian army battles defectors in rebel town as 11 more protesters killed | World news | The Guardian - but how the heck did The Guardian publish a story without implicating Israel? Are the editors aware of this?
6. Reason To Be Vigilant - The Halifax newspaper published this letter (look at the third one down) the other day - just look at the themes it hits - alleged control over the US Government by Israeli "lobbyists", references to apartheid and complete ignorance of not only international law (& the Palmer Report in particular), but who the genocidal racist maniacs are that run Gaza, and what their stated goals are.
Whether said out of ignorance or deliberately it does not matter - these kinds of things simply have to be confronted promptly and factually (though I have to admit that this time, the letter in reply I submitted was quite sarcastic and likely won't be published- there are times that I let my diplomacy shield down). Suffice it to say that the point I made was that if it is time to take a stand against anything, it is against radical political Islamism.
7. Because In Case You Did Not Know..... - The world blames Israel - Israel Opinion, Ynetnews
8. Quick Hitters - here's just 3 reasons to oppose a Palestinian State....and how to be pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian at the same time.
9. Part Of The Rot That Is The UN - UNRWA is an impediment to peace - JPost - Opinion - Op-Eds. Also see - The Rosett Report - A Modest Proposal for Giving You Your Very Own UN Staffer
10. C'mon Man! - OK - time to lighten up - ESPN has not posted tonight's version (about yesterday's NFL games), but some enterprising person posted a pretty good copy on YouTube.
