'Palestinians' plan to disappear the Jews down the memory hole

As part of Ramadamadan, 'Palestinian Authority' television showed a 'documentary' last week in which the 'Palestinians' plans for 'once there's peace' are discussed.

Obama tries to scrub Bush White House and State Department references to 'Jerusalem, Israel'

Our friends the Zivotofsky's (yes, of course Mrs. Carl and I know them) are sure making life miserable for the Obama administration.

You will recall that last week I reported that the White House had scrubbed clean references on its own website to "Jerusalem, Israel," in preparation for the Supreme Court hearing in Zivotofsky v. Clinton. Now, Omri Ceren reports in Commentary that the White House

'Hussein's palace' site has a rich history

The Hussein's palace site, called Tel el-Ful, has a long and rich history going back to biblical times when it was the location of King Saul's palace, known as Givat Shaul (which is not the same as the Jewish neighborhood in northwest Jerusalem currently known as Givat Shaul).

Ethnic cleansing, an Obamanation

In an earlier post, I reported that the White House had cleansed its web site from pictures referencing "Jerusalem, Israel."

Say it ain't so: AJC won't get involved in arguing that Jerusalem is Israel's capital

I have discussed the Zivotofsky case, in which Jerusalem-born 9-year old Menachem Zivotofsky seeks to exercise his right to have Israel listed as his country of birth on his US passport, several times, most recently here.Many American Jewish organizations are filing amicus curiae (friend of the court) briefs, which are due this week.

Final approval given for 930 apartments in Har Homa

Israel Radio reports that final approval has been given for the construction of 930 new apartments in Har Homa. Har Homa is a neighborhood in southern Jerusalem, which is beyond the terminus of Jewish sovereignty that was demarcated by the 1949 armistice lines.
