In Vegas, they bet on everything; dogs, horses, and even the weather. A smart man would open a betting line on Israel. If it were me, I'd make a fortune. I'm always right. I'm not smart. I'm merely a pessimist and, according to my figures, pessimists, especially when it comes to Israel, are correct and on the money 99.8 percent of the time. Here's the scenario. The Arabs protest, the Israelis stand firm, and then, cave in, always, and I do mean ALWAYS. When Arabs rioted against the new pathway nearby the Temple Mount, I knew Israel would chicken out and give in. This happens every time. If only I could make money on these predictions of mine.


THUGS AT THE SUMMIT

The question of the moment is about that SUMMIT between Olmert and Abbas - will it or won't it take place? But that is not the real question, which is, since when is a thug, like Abbas, part of a SUMMIT? When Roosevelt met Churchill, that was a SUMMIT. Even when Harry met Sally, that was a SUMMIT. When Olmert (whatever you think of him) meets Bush, that is a SUMMIT. But when Olmert meets Capone (nee Abbas), that is MUD WRESTLING.

CUDDLE UP WITH HITLER

Some people ought to quit while they're ahead. Norman Mailer spent a lifetime building a reputation as a first-rate man of literature - but now there's this as reported in the NY Post: "It's impossible not to identify to some small degree with the protagonist [Hitler], so the book is going to be offensive to a lot of Jews." Thus spoke Mailer about his new novel, "The Castle in the Forest." How about you, Norm? You're a Jew, no?

A RELIGIOUS SCIENTIST? OXYMORON?

I said scientist, not Zionist. According to the NY Times, a paleontologist named Marcus Ross wrote a paper for his dissertation at the University of Rhode Island that got high marks from fellow scientists. Ross played by the scientifically correct rules BUT, he does not believe that the universe JUST HAPPENED - BOOM -- while the rest of us were asleep. No, this man Ross "believes the Bible is a literally true account of the creation of the universe." Ross's peers don't know what to do with this guy.

MY (MIS)TAKE ON CARTER

Maybe you did and maybe you didn't read my piece (two pieces actually) on Jimmy Carter in A-7. I'm never sure if my friends read me - enemies? oh yes, guaranteed. I'm on some 20 websites blasting my take on Jimmy. At least I thought it was 20 until I found that the language is all the same, which means, that they have one website only go under 20 different names, to give the impression of universal condemnation. These people are smart.

WHO SAYS JEWS ARE SMART?

When it comes to advances in research, medicine, technology and everything else that needs brain, we're right there, but on public relations, welcome to Chelm.

JEWS ARE NOT PERFECT - THEREFORE

USA Today carried a piece by Rev Oliver "Buzz" Thomas that pretty much apes Jimmy Carter word for word, only condensed but just as hateful against Israel. CAMERA takes him apart chapter and verse. But what gets me is this man's call for fellow US Christians to more or less (more actually) abandon Israel. Because Israel is regarded as G-d's Chosen people, according to Thomas, "America turns a blind eye to her (Israel's) shortcomings."

Israel has SHORTCOMINGS? The Jews are not PERFECT?  Something must be done to teach these people about perfection, right reverend?

Let's start with you, Mr. Thomas. Teach us.

If you only knew how many people throughout the ages punished us for being less perfect than you. Now you want to teach us again. Thank you      

WHY ISRAEL?

Because G-d said so - and because of the millions (billions) of people like Rev Thomas.
