FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

I notice that YNET is not tying this trial into Ehud Olmert's daughter's participation in a far-left demonstration in front of Dan Halutz's office. At that demonstration she and her co-demonstrators called him "Murderer".

Olmert's father defended her right to speak out just last week.

I don't know why Matar should be punished but she should not. In my opinion, one prosecution would be as ridiculous as the other.

And Judenrat means Jew-rat, or does rat mean something else in Hebrew or Yiddish?

Israel's Ann Coulter?

Bibi on Neil Cavuto this hour for those of you who can watch. (FYI)

[Alouette]

Judenrat means Jew-rat

Judenrat is German for "Jewish Council" the Nazi-appointed "Ghetto Elders" who were in charge of making sure that everybody stayed calm and cooperative.

Israel's Ann Coulter?

That would be Caroline Glick.

Thanks.

Matar, whose trial opened on Wednesday, is charged with insulting a public servant.

Where is this, some Islamic hellhole?

[Alouette]

some Islamic hellhole?

"Insulting a public servant" used to be a crime in the old USSR.

Did you hear what Olmert said today in France.

If commitment proceeding are not initiated, never mind removing him from office, Israel is crazier then anyone imagines.

I remember visiting relatives in Poland when I was a kid. Should they (or we) happen to say something unflattering about the PTB, they never knew which neighbors would snitch. In the government assigned "apartments" the walls had ears. Or at least the fear of such was sufficient. Sometimes people with loose tongues would simply disappear.

And yet they still felt more sorry for the Russians.

"The realignment plan is unstoppable. It is unpreventable. It will be implemented," Olmert told reporters after his first meeting with French President Jacques Chirac.

Olmert says West Bank plan unstoppable

Anthropomorphize an abominable political goal and voila! The man-made creature just can't be stopped. Obviously, then, nobody will be responsible for the inevitable carnage and desolation. Except Jews who refused to have faith in this noble cause.

Considering the following comment on Glick's excellent article, I think you're right.

The more Caroline zero's in on the naked truth the more illogical and personal the attacks become on Ms Glick. The truth hurts, eh Louie?

[Sabramerican]

Nope. Not that. Keep looking. Really unbelievable. Absolute proof that he is crazy.

So, Hollywood is the modern-day Judenrat or is it democrats, in general?

[Thinkin' Gal]

Thanks. I thought it was related to

"...Olmert on Wednesday inaugurated a monument to French nationals who helped Jews escape occupying Nazi troops during World War Two."

That's about as genuine as saying,

Olmert on Wednesday inaugurated a monument to Women in Green who helped Jews escape political persecution, bludgeoning, false imprisonment and death during the implementation of the Convergence Plan.

More like Israel's Minutemen -- she's on the front lines.
