An Israeli Weighs in on the Flotilla

A number of recent events have triggered an awful lot of hypocrisy toward Israel.

The Gaza Disaster

Israel attacked a ship of fools and ended up looking like the foolish one.

Why the Peace Process Won't Work

The proximity talks are almost certain to fail. The Israelis and Palestinians are more interested in the status quo than advancing the peace process.
