Green-Lined: What a month

The holiday season is over, but what a month.

The Goldstone Report. Upcoming J Street convention. Attempts to strike at Jewish communities through tax exemption status. Campaign to apply a political apartheid character to Israel. Obama's attempt at "freezing settlements." Temple Mount provocation by Islamic radicals. And much more.

It's difficult to gauge what's really important, and therefore what would interest readers of blogs.

In fact, I don't really know how many people read this blog. Many perhaps think that bloggers are narcissists. While that may be true, as for me, I prefer an inter-relationship - at least a minimal one. Was I clear enough? Did I note enough facts? Is my reasoning seemingly logical? Are the topics I deal with interesting? More religion? More sex? Less Israel?

Since my last post here, I made up a word - "Goldstoned"; I found out that there is a major protest movement in the United States promoting fair media practices as against perceived pro-Obama bias; that Uri Avnery considers Gilad Schalit a prisoner of war because he thinks Hamas is equal in status to the IDF; that there was a copy-cat Oktoberfest in Taibeh outside of Ramallah (but no low-cut bodices); and I even went to the Matisyahu concert in Jerusalem.

Well, I hope my lethargy is over and I will reapply myself.

Would you like to know about the claim that indigenous Arabs of Eretz-Yisrael think themselves either Canaanites or Jebusites? Or about Roger Cohen, who failed miserably with his punditry about Iran is now dealing with Israel? Or maybe about how certain journalists twist facts and skewer perspectives? 

Let me know.

I hope to hear from you. Comments are open.
