Yaron Amitai was the oldest soldier killed in the Second Lebanon War. At 45, he was past the required age for army reserve duty. Amitai nevertheless volunteered to serve as a combat medic in the Paratroopers Brigade scheduled to go into Lebanon
The earnest message was delivered in an opulent setting. First, the customary cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were served in the Sheinbaum's plush backyard, where a clover-shaped pool, statues and sculptures seemed fixed into the landscape of the Brentwood Hills.
Not only are survivors alive in large numbers -- estimated at 700,000 worldwide, with about 85,000 in the United States -- but they are projected to be a part of Jewish society for another 10 to 15 years, and even longer for child survivors.
Since last summer, when I volunteered for a Barack Obama event, I have received many nonsensical e-mails and heard many nonsensical arguments -- from friends and family as well as on TV -- about Sen. Obama's alleged lack of allegiance to the United States of America.
Parashat Chukat (Numbers 20:1-22:1) Who was Miriam? She is the only woman in the Torah who bears the title "Neviah" -- prophetess. So who was she?
I'm dying to tell you about a fascinating afternoon I spent with an Israeli scientist at the Sheba Medical Center in Tel HaShomer, but first, I want to tell you how I ended up there
The man is dead already. Could you be any more of an asshole? Did you run a cartoon mocking Heath Ledger for Brokeback Mountain after he was dead?
Enough with the gun thing already. Personally, I think Heston was right. When the police can protect you sufficiently before the crime occurs instead of impotently showing up after the fact(ala Columbine, Virginia Tech, etc, etc, etc.)than I’ll feel more comfortable about re-interpreting the 2nd Amendement. Until then, They can pry MY gun out of MY cold dead hands. God Bless you, Chuck. RIP.
James,
I put this cartoon from Politico up not as commentary but as a conversation piece. Instead of attacking my character, I’d prefer you explain why you think its message is off-base or offensive.
