What’s right is right
By Rachel Raskin-Zrihen (bio)

Someone got their wires crossed and started sending me stuff from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, the pro-Arab answer to the Anti-Defamation League.

For shame
By Rachel Raskin-Zrihen (bio)

As the Syrian government continues slaughtering its own people by the thousands, the Islamists solidify their grip on Egypt and other parts of the Arab world and Iran continues its race for a nuke while threatening to annihilate the Jews, a debate over a house in Hebron is making news.

Wright’s wrong, for a change

They’re at it again, the Jew-haters of the world, this time calling upon their minions to take physically to the streets of Israel to try and provoke a deadly confrontation for which they can blame the Jews.

Fauxtography
By Rachel Raskin-Zrihen (bio)

Should we riot over this?
By Rachel Raskin-Zrihen (bio)

As it happens, a unique opportunity has presented itself in the form of simultaneous news stories, to compare side-by-side two clearly offensive actions aimed at two different religious groups and how they’re being dealt with by the “victims.”

Agent Orange redux

How about a side of Christ killer with that?
By Rachel Raskin-Zrihen (bio)

Let’s say someone opens a restaurant where the menu consists of fried chicken, collard greens and watermelon, served by people dressed as African-American slaves, with ankle chains, maybe. And “slave owners” with whips occasionally coming by and striking the servers and/or patrons?

Persistence, patience, complicity in high places, key to successful propaganda
By Rachel Raskin-Zrihen (bio)

In its reporting of the recent bomb attacks on Israeli diplomats in Georgia and New Delhi, the Associated Press makes it sound as though Israel is accusing Iran of wrongdoing without evidence, perhaps as an excuse for going after it militarily.A diplomat’s wife and driver and two others were injured in the India blast, while a similar device was discovered in Georgia and safely diffused.

Syria’s spiral
By Rachel Raskin-Zrihen (bio)

So, to recap this week’s Middle East news, the Syrian government is closing in on 6,000 civilian casualties for which it’s blaming Israel and the U.S., and Iran’s top religious grand Pooh-Bah, or whatever he is, is calling for the extermination of Israel in particular and Jews in general.

Poop on a pedistal
By Rachel Raskin-Zrihen (bio)

To get an audience with a head of state, typically, one must have accomplished or been party to something of significance, and I guess that’s true with “Palestine,” too. It’s just that it seems that what qualifies as a significant achievement there diverges considerably from what most other cultures would find appropriate.
