Tom, your column analyzed the article regarding “assasination of President Obamah” quite correctly. No apology can vindicate the writer. Your suggestion that he remove himself from the publication is the only action that he can take. Foxman’s article also “hit the nail on the head”.
I love your perspective on the show, I know it is completely scripted, it has to be. My only question is how can he look at the other women after he went skinning dipping with the hateful bitch? Either he was drunk or just stupid! How can he ask another women to marry him, after he had so little regard for the rest of the women and himself? That one segment was not his best moment.
Keep up the work; I love your writing skills. I can’t wait to read your next blog.

Thank you for the blog post. We hope it is a positive event and challenges both groups to prayer then action toward those who are suffering most. We have been blessed to have such a strong a faithful Jewish presence. I have been personally been deeply moved when we have worshipped together.
I purchased yur beginning book and lost the cut out maj card for 2004
Is there any way of getting a new one.
I am located in Springfield Va.
Hello
I enjoyed your article very much.
As someone who is gone to yeshiva and been learning Talmud for a while it is very refreshing to see how this amazing text can be so fulfilling and addictive.
Assuming from your article that you did not come from any learning experience before purchasing your first Gemorah I truly applaud your commitment.
Yes indeed that is daf yomi day IN and day OUT but different page each day.
Enjoy your siyum and let’s go for the second round.
All the best.
Noga is a treasure. Her perspective is so refreshing!! Keep allowing her to say what so many think.
Omg, you are ugly. Look at you talking about Debbie. No wonder, she is way HOTTER than YOU. I hope she slams you. She won’t because you are no one. I’m sure she appreciates the publicity…good job.
I admire your passion to speak out about the social issues of our time and to share your perspective on matters of human rights and justice. Keep em coming Ms. Gur-Arieh!
I guess you missed Reza’s comment at the beginning of the show that “all Jews are inbread.” Or that sits just fine with you? And it makes sense for you to promote these people’s behavior on a Jewish site? Really?! To the contrary, I’d expect a regular blogger on this site to point out how shameful it is that this was aired. Reality is, this show is racist any way you look at it.
I had the mussels Marinieres (I plbbaory spelled that wrong), and the smoked salmon, It was really good! Also I was impressed with the decor and comfortable seating. The staff was very attentive and friendly, especially my waitress, very charming young lady and attentive. I wanted something a little stronger from the bar which only serves wines and the waitress had the bartender make something up for us, I was impressed and spoiled . And Dard was a perfect gentleman. Melanie J.
Howdy my friend. I will have to priolacm, the fact that online site is in fact decent developed. Just where do you own determined this effective trendy? My spouse and i fully for example the pleasant header and footer on this page. Appearance nice. Wish that you may come up with innovative good revisions in this article in future. Therefore could possibly be high-quality whenever you can convey a news letter these or perhaps a excellent guestbook. Ok bye L8rs Thomas Feller
Why don’t you do some blog posts on Jewish customs and what the kids have to zromeime for their bar mitzvah, et cetera? This would basically neutralize the Jewish insider information advantage, so if someone had to pose as a Jew for immediate tactical purposes, usually to a Jew, he would know these basic things? I have no idea about extreme details and arcana like that if it is really detailed stuff like that I’ll just look it up. I also don’t care much about Judaism or Jewish religion I know the most about general history, Jewish economic practices, Jew migration patterns, ethnic issues, Jews in politics, and a few other fields. Judaism, the Jewish religion, is a racist-supremacist blood-purity cult that is about all people need to know about Judaism. I could care less about their holy books or religious rituals, though I’ve read some parts from the Talmud, Zohar, Kabbalah, etc (though it often makes me very tired and bored to read very obscure texts like that).Since you are in to languages, probably the best thing WNists and other independent scholars of Critical jewish Studies’ could do is attempt to learn Jewish languages, especially modern (Israeli) Hebrew, Talmudic/Rabbinic Hebrew, and Yiddish (maybe). There is this whole parallel press and literary world which only Jews can read because they are virtually the only people in the entire world (aside from a few extreme specialists) who speak Jewish languages thus all Jewish books, newspapers, articles, and so on written in those languages are inaccessible to Whites and others. Organized Jewry is deliberate about this, and Jews have a history of using secret languages to communicate with each other, languages which only they can understand. I’ve also heard about how amazingly frank the Israeli press is in some newspapers there, writing stuff that would shock the Western world; but of course we cannot read it, only Jews can in their languages which they refuse to teach to non-Jews.
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, in a letter sent to Cardinal Walter Kasper, of the Pontifical Commission for Religious Relations with Jews. We are ogerautd by Cardinal Rodriguez Maradiaga’s implication and, as John L. Allen, Jr. states in the July 19th Catholic Reporter, ‘the logic of his comments seems clear: Someone in America doesn’t like the pro-Palestinian tilt of the Catholic Church, and used their media clout to deliver payback. It’s not much of a reach to imagine who Rodriguez might suspect that ‘someone’ to be.’ Cardinal Rodrigues Maradiaga stated: It gave me considerable food for thought that, at a time of total media focus on developments in the Middle East with all the injustices being perpetrated against the Palestinian people, U.S. television and press people were obsessed with sex scandals of 30 or 40 years ago. Dershowitz 2010The Catholic church, which does so much good, has declared Antisemitism to be a sin, but there are some within the hierarchy who always know the source of the Church’s problems: It’s the Jews. Consider the following report in The New York Times of April 3, 2010. Last week, the center-left daily newspaper LA Republica wrote, without attribution, that certain Catholic circles believed the criticism of the church stemmed from a New York Jewish Lobby.’ Ah, the power of the New York Jewish Lobby, extending to rural Ireland, southern Germany, Boulder Junction, Wisconsin and the archbishop of Canterbury!

Doc,This is an interesting link. Trivia to the max. I wdneor what all these people had done with their time before finding the Clay Aiken blog (I admit I peeked). The Linux blog may hold more useful information if one its troubleshooting a Linux problem.The point is that blogs are what you make of them. They are full of unsubstanciated data (except for yours of course!) and should be taken as they are given.Don
Nice tutorial. For SEO rsoeans, i would use better linktexts than “Top” or “Bottom” Just use words or short texts that describe, hat users will find in the section you point to.Graz
What this comic fails to convey was how mignaral the supporters were at this time.mignaral in what way? their impact? not (rabin’s murder). their numbers? not. their locale? not. same w/today. they are on the forefront of the conflict on the hottest most contested real estate of the planet. supporting a political party ruling the government w/a ministry (housing) vital to the settlement movement. this isn’t mignaral, not in my book. they are terrorists.
I have been a reader of both Lynn and your blogs for quite awhile and like to read the diverse opinions. I also follow(ed) both on twitter. I was never mean, rude, or vulgar in any way. As a matter of fact I made an effort to never speak to either. My little experiment of sorts. As of today one of you has blocked me, would you care to know who? Hint:not Lynn. You say that you appreciate all opinions and that you respect that people may not always agree with you as long as they are respectful. That isn’t true is it? You blocked me simply based on the fact that I also follow Lynn. How is that appreciating those that respectfully have differing ideas?? I, unlike you am not a hypocrite and will continue to read BOTH blogs. The question of who the liar is has been answered and made clear.
YOU DON’T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE BEST SPORT, I FROM ARGENTINA AND I WILL TELL YOU WE NOW MUCH ABOUT THIS. WE LIVE THE FOOTBALL VERY PATIONAL, THAT’S WHY WE HAVE THE BETTER FANS AND ALSO THE TWO BETTER SOCCER PLAYERS AT THE ALL TIMES, MARADONA AND MESSI, AND THREE PLAYERS IN THE TOP FIVE, IF WE COUNT DI STEFANO.
I covered that trial of Marwan in which he proudly admitted that he had ordered these attacks in which 13 men, women and children were murdered. Having studied social work and criminology, one of the attributes of an unrepentant murderer is that he will often speak softly with a voice of self confidence and seeming moderate nature. After all, from Marwan’s point of view, he did nothing wrong. How a Rabbi can be enamored with him is something else entirely. http://www.IsraelBehindTheNews.com
The guidos aren’t educated? Very nasty. No wonder why your type is hated
Congratulations, you are right to speak up for your mom. She provides valuable insight that may upset some people. I understand how much you love and admire her. I also grew up with a single mom who shared so much with me.
This is for Elaine. I was taught by a friend that Players take tiles counterclockwise (the right) tiles are picked from the Wall clockwise (to left) (see National Mah Jongg league). Your book says everything to the right. This causes an issue among my playing friends. Can you explain? Thank you.
Shalom,
Once upon a time I was a Hollywood screenwriter. I have an interesting story about moving to Israel. Here’s part 1 from the blog I write. Maybe you would like to do an interview with me? All the best, Tzvi. http://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/blogs/felafel-on-rye/from-hollywood-to-the-holy-land/2012/05/03/
Rabbi Rosove, Are you blind or choose to be so?
This debate was narrow at best! Please, read the fallacies of this debate poignantly stated by Mr. Salomon Benzira http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11675
Why is it that you and your like are oblivious of the continuous calls for Israel demise by her intractable enemy? You continue to hash a dead 2 State “Delusion” considering the PLO/Hamas/Fatah etc./(Terrorists) as partner for peace. Indeed surreal!
On April 29, 2012, Yousuf al Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Terrorists stated:
Qaradawi: “We need to prepare for the day of “Israel’s Demise”
