Best of the Jewish Blogosphere # 220
Rabbi Moshe & Ida Yoelson says: “Maybe if our Asa—AKA Al Jolsen—had read Haveil Havalim, he might have married a nice Jewish girl instead of all those, feh, treif Hollywood actresses.
Up and live is Haveil Havalim: The Beach Blanket Edition, beautifully edited and annotated by the extremely busy Esser Agaroth. Thanks so much for including and commenting on Seraphic Secret's tribute to my father, Rabbi Abraham Avrech.
Charles Krauthammer has some thoughts regarding Barack Hussein Obama's Pharaonic move against Jewish babies.
In the 16 years since the Oslo accords turned the West Bank and Gaza over to the Palestinians, their leaders built no roads, no courthouses, no hospitals, none of the fundamental state institutions that would relieve their people’s suffering. Instead they poured everything into an infrastructure of war and terror, all the while depositing billions (from gullible Western donors) into their Swiss bank accounts.
Obama says he came to Cairo to tell the truth. But he uttered not a word of that. Instead, among all the bromides and lofty sentiments, he issued but one concrete declaration of new American policy: “The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements,” thus reinforcing the myth that Palestinian misery and statelessness are the fault of Israel and the settlements.
Blaming Israel and picking a fight over “natural growth” may curry favor with the Muslim “street.” But it will only induce the Arab states to do like Abbas: sit and wait for America to deliver Israel on a platter. Which makes the Obama strategy not just dishonorable but self-defeating.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
"Instead they poured everything into an infrastructure of war and terror, all the while depositing billions (from gullible Western donors) into their Swiss bank accounts."
Krauthammer is the 'gullible one' here: there is no way there would have been such consistent high level support of the Terrorists UNLESS there were very excellent kickbacks to Western supporters. Think about it: as soon as the money went to Arafat and Co, it became Cash... wonderful stuff for a splendid pension plan.
