Authentic Zionism – alive and kicking, in Israel, in Hebron David WilderMarch 09, 2014 It happened again.  Every once in a while I meet up with it, and this week, again.

The impurity of Kerry David WilderJanuary 06, 2014 Ariel Sharon is dying. It’s not considered nice to say bad things about dead people, especially immediately after their passing. So I’m writing this while he’s still alive. Barely. When I heard the news I wasn’t sure if I wanted to laugh or cry. Laugh, that finally, he’s leaving us. Or cry, […]
