Haveil Havalim #86

Here is this week's Haveil Havalim. Due to the demands of a newborn - frankly her soft breathing is a lot more wonderful than the klackety klack of keyboard - I haven't been able to complete it yet. Please continue checking back over the course of the day for more updates ...

FINAL: Over the course of the day I've updated HH #86 3 times. The U# tells you which interation of HH the entry was added. Thanks to all the bloggers who participated!

As of 11:38 AM (more or less) I have one more set of updates to go...

Israel

The Israel Tikkun Blog illustrates how Israel stands alone.

The Haganah blog writes how Christians who adopt the name "Palestinian" ignore their religions and put their nationalism ahead of their religion.

The Ignoble Experiment speculates alliterively that Locke would have liked Israel.

U2 Why does Treppenwitz's post remind me of "Eats, shoots and leaves?"

U2 Jewish Current Issues highlights Christian support for Israel. Gotta love his conclusion.

U2 The Muqata tells you how to use Google for some really neat stuff.

U2 There are no shortage of those who talk about the cost of occupation. Daled Amos writes about what could be called the rewards of occupation and the costs of Arafat.

U2 Shiloh Musings considers who might be an effective (opposition) leader in leader.

Hezbollah and Islamic fascism

Gina Cobb observes that Hezbollah's working with journalists.

And, according to Backspin, with medical personnel too.

Simply Jews compares the treatment of a convicted child killer with that of Ron Arad. It's the asymmetric nature of things that the convicted child killer gets better treatment.

U2 Mere Rhetoric covers a different aspect of asymmetry.

U1 The Micah Report reports on an inversion of reality.

U1 Remember how the papers used to report which Israeli candidate was most popular with the President or with Arafat or with King Hussein? Israel Matzav tells us that PM Olmert got an endorsement he probably wish he hadn't.

U1 Israel Matzav reports on the recidivism rate of Israel's "political" prisoners.

U1 Israel Matzav has additional information on the complicity of UNIFIL in Hezbollah's war crime 6 years ago in kidnapping and killing three Israeli soldiers from the Israeli side of the international border. Daled Amos and The Volokh Conspiracy.David Kopel have the most detailed accounts of this UN sanctioned terrorism.

U2 Ocean Guy defines the issues necessary to fight Islamic fascism.

U2 I remember an NY Times article a few years ago that ran a title to the effect of "This isn't your father's Hezbollah" reporting on Hezbollah's efforts at PR. Of course that PR wouldn't work without a credulous media corps. Mensa Barbie helpfully steps us through the process of doing an extreme terror makeover.

U2 The Muqata writes about the human cost to the Israel's humanitarian gesture of lifting the blockade of Lebanon.

U2 Crossing the Rubicon2 reports on a speech by Winston Churchill (grandson of the great British PM.)

U2 Daniel Pipes has been invited to join Al Qaeda. Heh.

Life in General

Me-Ander's back at school.

And she reports that the first day was a success.

Bec's universe gets it, about Aliyah.

Life in Israel contemplates how living in Israel changes people's religious outlook, not always consistently.

The Ignoble Experiment thinks about how to apply in alternate realities. Or perhaps even in our own.

U3 AbbaGav spends some quality time with his daughter. Cooking. Hmm sounds like a good entry for the Kosher Cooking Carnival.

9/11

Greetings from French Hill has some excellent 9/11 posts. First is Countdown to 9/11 and the second is a memorial for fireman John Fischer. The latter is part of the 2996 project. And then there's the most affecting My days with the dead.

Iran

Simply Jews takes humor out of declarations emanating from Iran.

Judaism

Heichal Haneginah writes about R' Simcha Bunim of Pshischa.

Media Bias

U1 The Augean Stables reports on three trials having to do with the Al-Durah affair.

Comings and Goings

U3 Bare Dove has decided to call it quits. and he asks an important quesiton

I also don’t like what having an online persona does to me personally and the amount of time I need to put into the task of running a blog is considerable and pulls me away from the more important things in life. I would ask all bloggers to ask themselves whether they are allowing their own blog or the blogs of others to encroach upon their respective precious time.

U3 And welcome to Different is not necessarily painful.

Birth and Death

U3 Jack's Shack remembers a classmate.

U3 Presence both remembers and eulogizes his grandfather.

U3 Elie's Expositions attempts to answer an unanswerable question as a niece and nephew are born and he remember Aaron.

U3 Dot Co Dot Il contemplates fatherhood.
