Mad in Israel: December 2008

http://madinisrael.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Tuesday, December 30, 2008. Why Israel needs to fight Hamas. Long time, no hear. Have been too busy - yes, really - and maybe a bit lazy, but most of all too depressed about Israeli politics in the last two years to find the muse, sit down and write something beyond the obvious. For Olmert and all peace loving Israelis this was a very nasty surprise, which eventually forced Olmert to change course and postpone the withdrawal from the West Bank due to rapidly evaporating public support. "Why are those...

Mad in Israel: August 2006

http://madinisrael.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 20, 2006. Thank you, Hezbollah! Why for haven's sake would we have to thank Hezbollah? For almost 200 Israelis killed? For 23 billion NIS damages to the Israeli economy? Well, obviously that is not what I had in mind. We have to thank Hezbollah for a wake-up call, which may have been delivered at the very last moment. Being their message to all our enemies. Now, that we narrowly avoided a bigger disaster, we will surely be prepared much better next time, right? Israelis, wake up! Incompete...

Mad in Israel: A Swedish Joke....

http://madinisrael.blogspot.com/2009/11/swedish-joke.html

Saturday, November 14, 2009. Here is one that describes the kind of objective journalism covering events in Israel, especially but not only in Sweden. You are a hero! The headline will be "Swede saves girl from attack dog." Replies the Israeli: "But I am not Swede! Of course, what was I thinking, why would you speak English, and with that funny accent. Okay, so we'll write "European saves little girl from attack dog - how's that? If Sweden is even worse i sure wouldnt want to live there.

Mad in Israel: Israeli Army Saving Lifes in Haiti

http://madinisrael.blogspot.com/2010/01/israeli-army-saving-lifes-in-haiti.html

Monday, January 18, 2010. Israeli Army Saving Lifes in Haiti. Where are the search and rescue teams from Hezbollah, Hamas, The Muslim Brotherhood, The Islamic Jihad? Okay, then let's think about Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Sudan (and North Korea)? I wondered how Turkey would respond to the desaster. To my relief and satsifaction there are Turkish search and rescue teams in Haiti. Maybe there is a reason deeper than cold strategic interests for Turkey being the only muslim ally of Israel?

Mad in Israel: The Taliban in the IDF

http://madinisrael.blogspot.com/2009/01/taliban-in-idf.html

Monday, January 26, 2009. The Taliban in the IDF. Without anybody noticing, the Taliban have arrived at the Israeli Defense Forces (click on the title to read the Haaretz article). They masquerade as Rabbis and abuse the public trust into the IDF's rabbinate in order to educate Israeli soldiers to behave like Taliban, Hamas or Hezbollah warriors. "Show no mercy to the cruel" sounds a lot like "show no mercy to the infidels" to me, in my humble opinion. Du hast ja so recht. Es geht bei diesem Konflikt...

Mad in Israel: The Solution For The Gaza Blockade

http://madinisrael.blogspot.com/2010/06/solution-for-gaza-blockade.html

Thursday, June 03, 2010. The Solution For The Gaza Blockade. Therefore I suggest to open the Gaza strip, both the harbour and the airport, under the condition that Turkish customs officers police the border crossings. I am sure they will know better how to bring everything in, except for missiles, mortars, TNT and other goodies that really don't help that much with the humanitarian crisis. Was erlauben sich die Türken? Außerdem stellt sich dann der Frieden wie von selbst ein! Greetings from drage lun.

Mad in Israel: Time for peace now, is it? Or why Abbas will make me rich and dead.

http://madinisrael.blogspot.com/2009/12/time-for-peace-now-is-it-or-why-abbas.html

Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Time for peace now, is it? Or why Abbas will make me rich and dead. Well, it is always a good time for peace out here, but is this a realistic time for peace? The peace talk these days is very much like the talk about the imminent release of. From captivity in Gaza. Every other week we read that this time it is only a question of days, maybe weeks, and just five disputed names on the. List of prisoners to be exchanged for. So today we read in the. So here we have. It is huge...

Mad in Israel: July 2006

http://madinisrael.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 31, 2006. Qana - A Nightmare Repeated. For the second time Israel has lost a war in the Lebanese village of Qana. As in 1996, some kind of mistake lead to the bombing of a place filled with civilians. The public outcry lead to a halt of the military operations then, and it seems it is the beginning of the end also this time. But why is that? For the Sheba Farms, a small piece of dirt not even viewed as occupied by the UN? Links to this post. Thursday, July 27, 2006. Where is the Diaper Truck?
