THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

I’m not sure what to make of the speech. As usual for one of his opuses, it was both too precise and too general. And, I’d be willing to bet money on this, it will have little affect beyond the anger it has generated among the pro-Israel folks. Not to mention Hamas. He can’t impose [...]

This is the main hall of Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem. Yes, the walls really do lean in that way, giving you the feeling of being trapped and about to be crushed. One is not supposed to take pictures there, but I wanted this one and so I did it secretly. Most of [...]

  Putting a prayer paper in the Western Wall, the Kotel, in Jerusalem. It was for Russ Wheat, an old Army buddy in Texas, who wanted to memorialize the men of his platoon who were killed in action in Vietnam. His request for me to do this while on my trip to Israel is interesting. [...]

It’s bad enough, the double-standard Washington applies to Israel, always scolding them for “provoking” the Palestinians and not making enough “gestures,” such as releasing jailed terrorists.

Kenneth L. Woodward, in the Wall Street Journal, wants us to get all outraged because those Jooz are blocking Palestinian Christians from visiting Jerusalem at Christmastime–because (though KLW doesn’t mention it) a Muslim suicide bomber or two might decide to join their party. Meanwhile, the Associated Press sees it a little differently: The Christian Palestinians [...]
