My Mother's Testimony

Re-Imposing Sykes-Picot

U.S., British and French forces pounded Syria with air strikes early on this Saturday. What? The British and the French still think that the Middle East is their area of influence and they have the right and the duty to impose their ideas how the Syrians should behave? And Russia still working to get a foothold in the Mediterranean?

Has anything changed in the last hundred years?

Waiting for that Midnight Knock on the Door

Figyelo, a Hungarian right wing paper, published a list of people in the pay of George Soros working against the interests of the Hungarian nation. Far from being a conspiracy, these are people employed by legal and open international NGOs like the Helsinki Committee, Soros's Open Society Institute, human rights societies and other registered organizations for the welfare of refugees. The publication of the list is frightening, because in Hungary the midnight knock on the door is never far away. There are few Jews on the list, but then, there are few Jews left in Hungary.  

Societies of Thieves

When Stalin died, 4% of the Soviet populations was in prison, more than half for ‘theft of socialist property’ and other petty crimes. To exceed this level of incarceration we have to take the situation of Black American men today (5% of Black adult men are in prison). By Piketty.

Europeans Subverting Israel

The European Union is very active in Israeli politics and has been financing and promoting subversive activities for a long time. One group on European pay has been following and filming the army and publishing fake news to discredit it. Soros' Open Society Institute is also hyper-active in Israel. I do not like Hungary's Orban but he may have had a valid case in rejecting the EU orders to accept unwanted "refugees" and to evict Soros's Institute from his country.

The Story of Avi Yaron

"I was going to die, I was desperate.  I had to do all to live, including betting on what I did not know. That was the only way to succeed."

Avi Yaron had brain cancer with little chances of successful operation. So he developed an instrument that sees the tumor with a bee's eye, as a tri-dimensional object. He was operated with full success. In 1998 he founded a start-up and today he sold it for 75 million dollars. Total investments in the start-up: 20 million. The Globes disses the project: It took too long to be really profitable.

Idiots, but this is Israel.

Be a Secret Agent

Yesterday we had a strike in the University. It was all very quiet so I had time to play with "moodle", the in-house network. Suddenly appeared a page urging me "Be a Secret Agent" - it was a call for a course in hasbara - explaining Israeli views on the social media. Since I have no free time and am old for learning new tricks, I am not interested. Moreover I am a declared Zionist since age fifteen and writing all the time about Israel. But we are so few and the world so big that overall Zionist impact is minimal.


Trying to buy something to eat, discovered that all the sandwiches were vegetarian or naturalist (tivoni) - no real food was sold on campus. The new religious right-wing settler youth studying in Ariel are mostly fanatical environmentalists, specially the females of the species, and carefully read the labels about components, and examine the kashrut stamp and which rabbi has signed it.
