Settler praying at the Western Wall (Ernie Moore)

We took the photo above on one of our regular visits to the Western Wall. We were taking photos of bar mitzvahs that day, then spied this young man. He is from the West Bank areas. How do we know? The so-called settlers regularly arm themselves with M1 carbines.

You have heard me “rant” about how the Shas Party rules the Ministry of Interior in Israel. How they strike fear in common Israeli citizens when told they must report to that old office on Shlom Zion Hamalka St. in Jerusalem. How they rule on visas and citizenship debates. Now read an article about the most powerful MK in their party.



Shas MK Eli Yishai

J-Post Editor David Horovitz is a jewel of a writer and interviewer. In the following lengthy article you will meet the man who wants everyone kicked out of Israel but “real” Jews.

Am I being too hard on Yishai? You read the piece...

Not long ago we posted some information on the discussion of conservatives needing – or not needing – a written agenda for the fall elections. Here is a follow up on the topic from the Heritage Foundation.

That’s my wife!’ We took him away from the scene immediately,” Bernstein added.

You may have seen this some time before, but we though it was worth a review. Say what you will, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind and heart that President Bush’s heart was with the troops who defend our nation – and lots of other nations – including majority Muslim lands.









I hope you will take the time to note the genuineness on his face as he greets these men and women who wear our uniform. No crotch salute here, as Obama did at the memorial at Ft.

The Glenn Beck march on Washington has brought out a sort of “he’s our guy and you keep your hands off of him” attitude by some who present themselves as the official leaders of all black people everywhere.



Dr. Martin Luther King

Perhaps the article below, and indirectly the one it discusses will change some of that.
