Good stuff: New tuneage + housekeeping
First, the housekeeping: I’ve added Just Jerusalem (the Sheikh Jarrah/East Jerusalem activists) to the Israel/Palestine blog roll. Please check them out, and if you have a little spare dosh, throw it their way! I’ve added Accidental Theologist to the Smart People roll – this is the new blog of Lesley Hazleton, author of After the [...]

Keeping Jerusalem holy – the Sheikh Jarrah activists.
Something brief, for now, before I run out the door to do some reading that MUST BE DONE TODAY, and if I don’t flee the internet, it’ll never happen. But I just want to tip my hat and send my love and gratitude to some people who are doing what is, to my mind, God’s [...]

Friday afternoon brief: In response to Arizona’s new law.
You know what, I didn’t want to believe that this would really happen, so I put it out of my mind. But it happened. Holy mother of Moses. AZ Gov Signs Immigration Bill I think I’ll leave it up to The White Stripes to have their say: white Americans, what? nothing better to do? why [...]

The first fifteen months + my bad.
Yesterday Andrew Sullivan ran a post about what the Obama Administration has accomplished in its first “year and a half” in office. Given that it’s April 23, I would like to offer a small corrective: It’s only been 15 months. And holy crow! Look at all they’ve done! An end to illegal torture of terror [...]

Winnie the Pooh and Elmer the Elf.
I recently read the final chapter in The House at Pooh Corner to my daughter, thus completing our sojourn in the Hundred Acre Woods. The animals have all sensed, without knowing how, that Christopher Robin is Going Away, and they write him a note — a Poem, really, as drafted by Eeyore, which reads (in [...]

Good stuff: Or, How to waste the entire day with Eddie Izzard.
I have come to love the Twitter, and I’ll tell you for why. For one thing, I am often directed to important developments coming out of Israel/Palestine that I might not have otherwise noticed. For another, I am often directed to interesting and/or fascinating information that has nothing whatsoever to do with Israel/Palestine, and, you [...]
