#1 Quick read and find this interesting. Haaretz is interesting so I have bookmarked it. With the youth unemployed in so many parts of the world I am concerned they will get into more mischief. Now here with the increased temperatures is a bad mix.
I always said the riots stopped here because of food stamps/welfare and air conditioning.

#2 from the opinion piece,

"During the campaign, I testified in Florida day after day to Obamas savvy about and commitment to Israels security. I no longer think he cares much."

So the author, Marty Peretz is in some sense doing atonement for his own mistake.

#3 Also from the piece, about Ha'aretz,for Dale:

My judgment is that he knows squat about Israel, maybe because the only reportage he seems to read about the Jewish state is from Haaretz, which is to Israel what PM used to be for the United States. Well, you dont know what PM was? All I can say is that it was not quite the Daily Worker. But let me confess: Haaretz is my home page. I am a masochist, and I like to see how far journalists can stray from the facts. Very far. Every day, actually.

Ha'aretz aims to be the New York Times of Israel, and succeeds in many ways, although the writers are more succinct. I prefer the Jerusalem Post for coverage that lacks the lefty, destroy Israel attitude.

#4 All Israeli media web sites suck. They have all that slow load flash BS and pop-up crap. Very unprofessional. I like the content, but hate the annoying advertisement.

To quote Glenn, another rube self-identifies.
