http://lynncontext.com/2013/01/snow-in-jerusalem.shtml
January 12, 2013 12:42 PM. A beautiful sight, though the weather has caused a lot of hardship and damage. And then there's this. Some worshipers outside the Dome of the Rock, with its now white-capped golden dome, built a replica of an artillery rocket. At Damsacus Gate, I witnessed a fairly vicious gang of Palestinian youths hurling snowballs at passersby. Video of what appears to be a similar incident here.

Dershowitz and Co. - pwned. September 27, 2012 4:52 PM. Early this afternoon, Mahmoud Abbas gave a vicious, defamatory speech. At the United Nations General Assembly, loaded with lies, false accusations and vitriol. It was, in fact, among the nastiest, least conciliatory speeches Abbas has ever made (for Western consumption, anyway). And it did not include any expression whatsoever of sensitivity to Jewish claims to the Land of Israel. Wait Why should that be surprising? And yet, shockingly, it did not.

Dersh blows it, big time. June 10, 2014 10:58 PM. At the Herzliya Conference. Dershowitz said he feared that the boycott movement had become so entrenched that even if Israelis and Palestinians were to strike a peace deal, its supporters would not back down.

The "new" Arab Peace Initiative. May 1, 2013 3:26 PM. T]here is a curious lack of mention over the demand, enshrined in the previous "Arab Peace Initiative," about what is called the "right of return." Namely, to satisfy PA demands Israel would have to accept the immigration of hundreds of thousands of passionately anti-Israel Palestinians who had lived in the country 60 years ago (or their descendants) and who have been fighting all that time to wipe Israel off the map.

BDSers at it again. April 12, 2013 12:43 PM. Once again, they're going after TIAA-CREF, and once again TIAA-CREF is fighting back. TIAA-CREF officials are asking the SEC to allow it to take no action on a shareholder proposal by activist group Jewish Voice for Peace that would require it to consider divesting from companies that contribute to violations of human rights, including companies whose business supports Israel's occupation of the West Bank.
