Washington DC: A Review

כ״ב במרחשון ה׳תשע״א (Saturday 30 October 2010)

I’ve been to Washington DC a few times in the past, and I never exactly enjoyed it, but I always felt that it had some charm. On this trip, I saw none of that charm. The nicest people in DC are apparently the bums who reside in the public parks. They attempted to engage me [...]

Paris: A Review

י״ט במרחשון ה׳תשע״א (Wednesday 27 October 2010)

I recently had to spend some time in Paris on business. It was not something I did eagerly, but I was pleasantly surprised.

The Israel-Iran War

א׳ באלול ה׳תש״ע (Wednesday 11 August 2010)

Get ready for Israel’s next war, people, because it might be coming soon. First thing: read what Jeffrey Goldberg has to say in The Atlantic. He points out that the point of no return is likely upon us and that, because President Obama is so reluctant to act, Netanyahu will feel compelled to attack Iran’s [...]
