ignoblus, for the moment: May 2011

http://ignoblus.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Ignoblus, for the moment. Mostly about antisemitism, other racisms, Buddhism, and perhaps sometimes football. When I was in high school, I found that Ignatius literally meant "not ignoble," and it struck me just how pompous such a double negative can be. I'd rather remind myself that I, unlike the popes, am fallible. Even when I'm wearing my pope-hat. Yes, I have a pope-hat. Wednesday, May 25, 2011. AIPAC so that it better represents the American Jewish community. Sunday, May 1, 2011. A Blog of Two Cities.

Israel: Like this, as if: Myth, legend and fact in the 1947 Exodus episode

http://israel-like-this-as-if.blogspot.com/2008/05/myth-legend-and-fact-in-1947-exodus.html

Israel: Like this, as if. Sunday, May 4, 2008. Myth, legend and fact in the 1947 Exodus episode. Http:/ israel-like-this-as-if.blogspot.com/2008/05/myth-legend-and-fact-in-1947-exodus.html. This is misuse. "Legendary" is probably what they meant. Real-life subjects are not "mythological," a term that belongs to dragons, unicorns and the Tooth Fairy. Are we having a problem distinguishing between reality and fantasy? Hold the question. Last week some 300 people including President Shimon Peres and Def...

Israel: Like this, as if. Wednesday, October 24, 2007. Rabin took responsibility for a failed mission. Http:/ israel-like-this-as-if.blogspot.com/2007/10/rabin-took-responsibility-for-failed.html. Israel's media are busy reminiscing about Yitzhak Rabin. Today (Oct. 24) on our Hebrew lunar calendar is 12 Heshvan, the 12th anniversary of the assassinated Prime Minister's death. (On the Gregorian calendar, the assassination took place Nov. 4.). Today in a radio interview one of his aides recalled that Rabin...

Israel: Like this, as if. Monday, January 29, 2007. Eilat: No longer the end of the world. Http:/ israel-like-this-as-if.blogspot.com/2007/01/eilat-no-longer-end-of-world.html. What changed today is that a suicide bomber killed three people in Eilat. It was the Red Sea resort's first suicide bombing. The fact that the bombing took place in a neighborhood away from Eilat's hotel district is not much comfort for the local tourist industry. Tourism Minister Isaac Herzog is rushing from one media outlet ...

Here is some old material that remains pertinent. Three years ago my college alumni magazine produced a roundup of articles on how Americans are viewed. In eight countries around the world. They asked me to write about Israel. - J.M.H.]. The newsstand manager replies in Israeli-accented English. What’s the problem? Mazal, a...

Obama’s gutsy, principled Middle East speech at Realistic Dove

http://www.realisticdove.org/archives/480

Laquo; On the Hamas-Fatah pact, which “experts” should we believe? Two mayors, two communities, two peoples. Obama’s gutsy, principled Middle East speech. May 20, 2011. Just before Obamaâ s speech on the Middle East yesterday, Prime Minister Netanyahu had angrily “demandedâ that the â œreference to the 1967 borders be cut,â the New York Times. Obama must have known that Republicans like Mitt Romney. Week reported at the time, â œ`[Bibi] was blatant about the fact that this trip had less to do with diplom...
