From the page: "Yesterday�s Financial Times published an opinion piece by New York University professor and Israel critic Tony Judt. Arguing that �Israel must unpick its ethnic myth�, Judt claims that Israel�s classification as a Jewish state is the underlying cause of the Israel-Palestinian conflict and as such, this element of the state�s identity should be removed.."

Moronic post-modernists!

From the page: "Book Review: A State Beyond the Pale - Europe's Problem With Israel.
Robin Shepherd's Robust Defense of Israel.

Why should a secular non-Jew support the Jewish State of Israel? Foreign policy expert, Robin Shepherd convincingly answers this and related questions in his important new book, A State Beyond the Pale: Europe's Problem With Israel.

Shepherd is a non-Jew whose defense of Israel led to his dismissal from a prominent British policy institute. But despite this set back he continues to be a vigorous defender of the Jewish State. "

From the page: "Gilo in Perspective
How did the media report building plans for a Jerusalem suburb?

Israel has recently come in for international criticism over the approval for construction of 900 housing units in the southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo. Irrespective of one's views on this policy, it is the responsibility of the media to report on Gilo accurately and with the relevant context.

So how did some of the media refer to Gilo?"

By Daniel Greenfield

The same media which can�t be bothered to notice that there is a proxy war going on between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Yemen, with Saudi jets bombing civilian targets.

Who have paid no attention whatsoever to a week of violence between Algerians and Egyptians that included stonings and death threats, are up in arms over the building of 900 housing units in the Gilo neighborhood in Jerusalem."
