Marwan Barghouti - Prince of Israeli-Palestinian peace??

Labor party infrastructure minister Benjamin Ben Eliezer, who usually has a sober grip on reality, added his voice to those calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti, which supposedly is the only way to bring peace. Quoth Ben Eliezer:

At this rate Hamas will soon take over the West Bank. The only person who could put a stop to that is Barghouti.

Ben-Eliezer misses the point What matters to Israel, is not who controls what in the Palestinian Authority, but rather what policy Fatah and the PLO will follow regarding Israel and the peace negotiations.

Sex, Google, Muslims, Arabs and everyone else

"Sex" is one of the most popular search words on the world wide Web, along with related terms. The most popular article in this Web log, and one of the most popular articles in the Zionism-Israel Web site has nothing to do with anti-Semitism or Zionism or history. All those topics are B*O*R*I*N*G. The article is Google, Sex and the Arab City which documented the fascination of the Arab world with this word. Of the thousands of pages at Zionism-Israel.com, that one article has accounted for over 2% of our html page views every week since it was published, just behind the main index page, and it is still going strong. An article about an Egyptian Fatwa on adult breast feeding is another favorite, and draws about one percent of our page views currently.

Shlomo Zand and the Final Solution to the Jewish Problem

For 2,000 years, philosophers and historians have tried to understand the Jewish problem, others have tried to solve it by eliminating the Jews. No Jews, no problem! Sometimes it requires a non-expert to find a solution. Shlomo Zand, an Israeli professor of French history and cinema, is the latest contender to offer a final solution to the Jewish problem. His solution has French elegance: Prove that there are no Jews, get everyone to believe it, and then there will be no more Jewish problem. His book, "Matai ve'eych humtza ha'am hayehudi?" ("When and How was the Jewish People Invented?") was just published in Israel and is a best seller. By September, it will be published in French. By that time, Zand should be well on his way to solving the Jewish problem.
