Men’s Rights in Israel

י״ז בשבט ה׳תשע״א (Saturday 22 January 2011)

The Men’s Rights movement has reached the Knesset. It’s a little weird to me that the Israel world and the MRA world are now overlapping, but I think Israel has been one of the countries with the most vocal Men’s activism in the world, at least in the form of זכויות הגבר במשפחה (Men’s Family [...]

The Next Israel-Lebanon War

כ״א באלול ה׳תש״ע (Tuesday 31 August 2010)

When I wrote recently about the upcoming Israel-Iran War, I predicted that “Israel will provoke a war with Hezballah in 2010 to defeat them and to deplete their arsenal in the context of a conventional war.” Now I see Haaretz is agreeing that Israel might be planning to attack Hezballah preemptively. The article mentions the [...]

Israeli citizens are required to carry identification and explain who they are and [...]

Soccer Equals Islam

כ״ח בתמוז ה׳תש״ע (Saturday 10 July 2010)

More proof that soccer is not only the lamest sport in history, but that it’s also evil: according to Haaretz, nine out of ten Islamists and mujahidin prefer soccer to more civilized sports like football (the real kind) or tennis. Consequently, if you watch soccer on television, in the best case scenario you’re inadvertently endorsing [...]

Male Birth Control Pill

י״ג בתמוז ה׳תש״ע (Friday 25 June 2010)

A birth control pill for men is finally getting closer. I don’t know whether to be surprised that it’s going to come out of Israel, but Haaretz is reporting that Bar Ilan University researchers are working on it and expect it to be on the market in five years. This is great news for me. [...]
