Is Ahmadinejad Softening? / Good Stuff to Read

The Jerusalem Post reports today that Iranian President Ahmadinejad (whose name I can still touch-type!) wants Germany and Austria to create a new Jewish state within their borders – as a replacement for the Jewish state right here in the Middle East, presumably. Could the A-man be softening? Is he really willing to share a planet with us sons of pigs and monkeys?

I’ll know he’s serious when he offers to buy us the southern half of France…

After reading the above, you’ll no doubt be eager to read some quality blogging. Fear not: what I have failed to do, the noble members of my Favorite Blogs List have done. Savtadotty at Cousin Lucy’s Spoon has written a fine post on Tags of Identity; and Judy at Adloyada has written “A tale of shame and darkness”, a great essay on a post originally written by Lisa at On the Face, entitled “Dilemma”. I’ve also engaged in a bit of back-and-forth with Ze’ev of Israel Perspectives regarding “The Oslo Syndrome”; once you see the length of my comments on his piece, you’ll see why I needed a blog of my own – mostly to induce writer’s block so I would shut up for once.

Enjoyez!
