Israel, much like the fortress of Tel-Chai that Jospeh Trumpeldor fought to defend against Arab conquerors in 1920, finds itself beseiged by enemies both within and without. Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.
Tim Blair reminds us of the time when a gang of Hanafi Muslims invaded the Bnai Brit offices in Washington DC in 1977, one of their demands being that the movie, "Mohammed, Messenger of God", not be screened for US audiences. In the time that Islamists are rioting over some mere cartoons, it's certainly surprising that this tragedy hasn't been recalled more widely.

I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
