One million shots. Endless gratitude. About Hoops For Heroes. November 11, 2011. I think we all know that it’s never really been about the foul shots. It’s always been about the gratitude. It’s been about saying thank you, in our own small way, for the kinds of sacrifices that many of us myself certainly included never had to endure. It’s been about doing our small part for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and its mission of serving our nation’s injured Veterans. It’s been about the students that I’ve had...

ShiraDrissman.com: Forgotten Refugees

http://shiradrissman.com/p/forgotten-refugees.html

Now that it seems that the “peace process” is on the road no doubt the issue of the Arab refugees will be back on the negotiating table. But there is another piece to this refugee puzzle that must not be forgotten, and that is the Jewish refugees. Jews lived in what are now the Arab countries of the Middle East and North Africa since the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE. This is the backdrop to the tragedy of the forgotten Middle East refugees. In 1948, nearly 900,000 Jews live...

ShiraDrissman.com: "Palestine"?

http://shiradrissman.com/p/history-of-palestine.html

The Israeli- ‘Palestinian’ dispute centers around the land being claimed by two peoples. The Jewish People call it Eretz Yisroel, or the Land of Israel. The Arabs call themselves ‘Palestinians’ and their land ‘Palestine’. Both peoples claim that their histories go back thousands of years and that their claim is the true one. Did the Arabs or any other people ever create a nation on the soil that was Israel? What is the “Palestine Mandate”? In 1922 west Palestine became the only Palestine on the world map...

ShiraDrissman.com: The "Peace Process" That Became a Death Sentence

http://shiradrissman.com/2014/12/the-peace-process-that-became-death.html

The "Peace Process" That Became a Death Sentence. I have waited a while until sitting down to write this piece. But this attack was not the first on Jews by the Arabs - rather just one in a string of many. Just a few weeks ago a 3 month old infant girl was intentionally run over by a terrorist in his car. Her parents had been waiting 15 years for her arrival. The list of victims is long and painful. Media commentators were quick to ask following the massacre - How can we move forward after this attack?

ShiraDrissman.com: If It Looks Like a Duck

http://shiradrissman.com/2015/01/if-it-looks-like-duck.html

If It Looks Like a Duck. I think that the President of the United States and his mouthpiece Josh Earnest, could use a refresher course on how to identify ducks given by my three year old daughter. In other words, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck… it may be… a duck. What do those attacks in Ottowa, Sydney and Paris have in common? It’s almost comical if this denial of reality were not so deadly. Radical Islam has declared war on anyone and everyone who disagrees ...Obama d...

ShiraDrissman.com: Character Matters

http://shiradrissman.com/2015/07/character-matters.html

The Daily Beast has joined in the fray against Donald Trump, bringing in marital rape allegations. From 20 years ago. Is this relevant to the current presidential campaign, sure - it points to his character and other personal flaws which I'm sure are not a huge surprise to anyone. How they'd like to be gang raped. Is this relevant to the campaign today? Sure - it points to his character and other personal flaws which we should know about in our potential candidates. Considering the myriad scandals (aka "...

ShiraDrissman.com: Putting the Holocaust on a Pedestal

http://shiradrissman.com/2015/07/putting-holocaust-on-pedestal.html

Putting the Holocaust on a Pedestal. It seems that Mike Huckabee. Has started a hoop and a lah by stating his opposition to the Iran deal by alluding to the Holocaust, where at least 6 million Jews were massacred. This of course was followed with a response by Debbie Wasserman Schultz, DNC head, whose feelings were hurt. Huckabee isn't backing down - and nor should he. I want no apology. Is the Holocaust an event to put on a pedestal as something to be venerated, but not to be learned from? I want my pot...
