http://www.jeremiahhaber.com/2011/04/roger-cohens-distortions-of-goldstone.html
Self-Criticism from an Israeli, American, and Orthodox Jewish Perspective. Thursday, April 7, 2011. Roger Cohen’s Distortions of the Goldstone Op-Ed. The amount of rubbish circulating on the internet from the left and the right about the Goldstone Washington Post op-ed is staggering. The right's distortions, though more egregious, is understandable; after all, the rightwingers never read the Goldstone Report so why should they read the op-ed? For example, Goldstone writes:. You walk next to a swimming po...

http://www.jeremiahhaber.com/2015/03/right-wing-nation.html
Self-Criticism from an Israeli, American, and Orthodox Jewish Perspective. Tuesday, March 17, 2015. Update, March 18, morning, Jerusalem:. Israel is a Right Wing Nation. What is “center” in Israel is right in the rest of the world. What is “right” is extreme right is, well, you fill in that one. Even had Herzog evened the score with Netanyahu he would not have been able to create an alternative government. That has been clear from the beginning. Whether there is a narrow rightwing government, or a centri...

A collections of my thoughts on Israel, Judaism, Politics and other stuff. Thursday, December 28, 2006. Aliya at a 20 Year Low. In 1986 only 9500 people immigrated to Israel. While the obvious "wells" of large scale Jewish immigration seem to have dried up, there is some indication that there is increased interest in aliya. From Jews in English speaking countries. Among the 21,000 who arrived in 2006, 4000 where from the U.S. and Britain, a high point also not seem since the 1980's. Links to this post.

Self-Criticism from an Israeli, American, and Orthodox Jewish Perspective. Sunday, June 14, 2015. The “High Level International Military Group” on Operation Protective Edge.

The timing is viewed as as preemptive assault on the Human Rights Council report due out next week. Here is how the AP reported the release. It will be recalled that William Chabas, R...
