If you really want a land without people for a people without land, Clark County Nevada fits the bill. At least then you wont be an irritant to the world and wont provokde the antisemitism that the zionist entity has provoked South Jerusalem today, South Vegas tomorrow.

I checked out TNR for the first time. Great looking website. Then I cruised on over to Haaretz. Whack! There on the front page is Peres laying a sweet peck on the cheek of H. Clinton. By her expression of amazement, I would say she almost looked feminine. Thanks Haim, I almost threw up! That set back my liberal leanings a week or two. So . . . I checked out TNR for the first time.

I found out about this website a few months ago and now enjoy checking it regularly. It gives me hope where logically there shouldn't be any and it also challenges my own viewpoints on occasion.

I love this site, and if all it amounts to are links to your and Gershom's articles in other places, so be it. Great reporting on what is really going on in Israel is a beautiful, rare thing, and I am realizing with each day how very important it is to have more of y'all's voices out there where people can read and consider Israeli politics, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and other issues in the Middle East without the knee-jerk, ABsolute Israel-is-always-right bias. Critical voices concerned about what is going on are needed now more than ever. Just my two cents. You gotta do what you gotta do...just don't go too gently into that good night.

I regret to say that all my money has now been committed to GM, AIG, Citigroup and the rest of the truly needy. Though I'm too pinched to give you anything, I am funding putting men on the moon and Mars and conducting two high-tech vs. no-tech wars. Oh, and I mustn't forget the vital F22 fighter (can Israel use a few? It really would help the program!) Alas, all I can say financially in your favor is that indirectly I am supporting you by subscribing to the New York Times. Seriously, I am not surprised at the extra load that a blog puts on you. I decided several years ago to have my website be a place where I could express my philosophy all in one go and then leave the interchange to take place at other sites where I was not obligated to post regularly. With the amount of writing (and speaking) that you two do for a living, I'm astounded that you can afford any time for SoJo. If it comes down to not being able to sustain the effort, you have my full understanding though I'll be sorry to see you go. You've shown courage in taking on very touchy subjects in an open way. Though it is true that blogs depend on newspapers, this blog is an example of something a newspaper could never do. Haim, why didn’t you post this some time ago?
