The 'lionesses' are already on a rampage, it seems. It's a formidable challenge.

Avishai warns:

Make no mistake: the people who wish this new Jerusalem to rise will not be talked out of their goals, certainly not by speeches or editorials (or bloggers). The only hope is that what's left of Israel's secular majority will be pushed, and supported, by what's left of the West to stop them. One more generation, I am tempted to say, and it will be too late. But nothing is ever too late for this benighted, beautiful city, which thrives on the hubris of every conqueror.

Someone mentioned this yesterday but I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Has anyone called Obama "another Hitler" yet for his no-new-settlements stance?

Obama's no one's mother. He is the father of two little adorable girls

I like the illustration. It makes me think of a child whose mother has refused to give it some toy, drawing a picture of his mother with horns and labeling it "child-hater."

The campaign has it wrong. FDR was the most anti-semitic president. Obama is second.

[I]f the Israeli right, and their supporters in the US, are going to try to appeal to Congress or the US public for sympathy in the face of increasing pressure on Israeli settlements, this campaign is a serious misstep. You got that right.
