Opinion A Palestinian State Even the Securocrats Accept
I don’t think I’d be going out on a limb to suggest that Israel is having a bit of a rough patch lately, what with its Cairo embassy in ruins, terrorism flaring in the south and new troubles brewing at the United Nations. I could drone on about the dangers, but I don’t need to….

Opinion The Sword of September
September is here. Hanging over the head of world diplomacy like the Sword of Damocles, the month has taken on a new and foreboding meaning this year: It’s the time when the Palestinians plan to ask the United Nations to, in one form or another, elevate their national aspirations.

The Schmooze Christian Palestinians Moving Back to Holy Land
There’s no place like home when it comes to the Holy Land.

Palestine scored its first ever goal in a home World Cup qualifier on July 3. And it was better than Beckham. At Al Ram on the West Bank, Palestine drew 1-1 with nomadic Afghanistan which, when combined with the 2-0 win over the Afghanis in the first match (played in Tajikistan), put the Palestinian team…

The Schmooze LUSH Soap Brand Boycotted for Ties to Pro-Palestinian Group
Those of us who like to like to soften our skin are being asked to toughen our stance against one of the largest purveyors of natural soaps and cosmetics. The pro-Israel organization United With Israel is calling on people to boycott LUSH products in response to the company’s financial support of OneWorld. OneWorld is the…

The Schmooze A Call for Apple To Remove ‘Third Intifada’ iPhone App
Could we be approaching the iPhone intifada? Israeli lawmaker Yuli Edelstein seems to fear so. An iPhone app offers Palestinians and Palestinian sympathizers real-time news about efforts to spark a third intifada. The ThirdIntifada was released last week, seemingly to replace a pro-uprising page that Facebook removed in March. Edelstein, who is Israel’s minister of…
