Obama, in key speech, to target Israelis who could make or break a future peace

Jewish worshippers take part in the priestly blessing at the Western Wall

This year, this Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, I'm giving God the day off

You invented life itself, breath, free will, children. You designed and assembled us with the capacity to love, to comprehend mirrors, to regret, to do over. Just this once, let us show you what we've got.

circumcision May 15, 2011.

I hate the idea of circumcision. But if they ban it, God help us all

South Africa shop - Bloomberg

South Africa is right. Labeling Israeli settler products is truth in advertising.

Ramadan - AP - 19.8.2012
