holley mangold is awesome

Holley Mangold is a weightlifter on the US team at the London Olympics.

Everything about her is awesome and she has a great outlook on life and sport.

Maybe she will surprise and get a gold medal.

where is the love

Olympic organisers continually claim that they do not want to mix sport with politics.  Obviously, the Palestinian terrorists politicised the Olympics in 1972.

In one short cynical letter, the PA have exposed the stupidity of the IOC, in thanking them for not memorializing the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre at the London Opening Ceremony.

“…Sports is a bridge for love,  connection and relaying peace between peoples. It should not be a factor  for separation and spreading racism between peoples,…”

Where is the love?

The Lebanese judo team do not even want to practice in the same hall as the Israelis!

For the comfort of the fat cats in the IOC, this is not politics – neither are the comments by Al-Jazeera commentators.

Maybe I am being sensitive, but would this sort of action be tolerated against any other national team?

With the IOC, it is all about the money.  They will never do anything that may have cause a slowdown in the flood of money that pours into their pockets.

church – v – pussy riot

Three young ladies, who may or may not have been part of the Pussy Riot impromptu “punk prayer” in Church, go on trial in Moscow.

They face the prospect of 7 years in prison – a frightening prospect, but some people in Russia found their impromptu concert hard to swallow and a provocation against Russia.

Meanwhile, a lady in Ukraine was arrested for bearing her breasts at a visiting Patriarch.

I am not sure what the fuss is about – traditionally the clergy have taken a strong liking to young believers.

with friends like these…

An attempt by an Egyptian tv show to prank some guests did not go as planned – including the female host being beaten a few times.

MEMRI has put subtitles to the disturbing words spoken.

And these are the citizens of Egypt – a country that signed a peace treaty with Israel!

deserving of praise

Great people like Kalina Krumova never seem to get the credit they deserve.

So often the limelight is stolen by unworthy people – and great awards are handed to people who have not really done much good.

This young Bulgarian MP has shown that she is a great person.

another mk, another disgusting act

Imagine how MK Michael ben Ari would react if any person, let alone a federal politician, tore up a Bible in the parliament chamber.

Continuing the outrageous behavior of our politicians, this right-wing National Union member decided to tear up an Old Testament and throw it in a rubbish bin, inside the Knesset chamber.

Unfortunately, the Speaker of the Knesset did not take any action against this act of incitement and hatred.

But this type of barbaric behavior is what we have come to expect from our politicians – from all parties.

They are all totally out of touch.

Time for a complete reform of the electoral system – something that the leaders have been promising for years, but have not even taken the first step to implement.

i don’t like to spread gossip, but…

this is just too good not to pass on!

Apparently a very prominent ( as yet unnamed ) Admor Rabbi has “fallen”.

Fortunately for us, someone was there to witness it – presumably he took some photos which will be produced at a later time when he will be busy defending his own reputation at the hands of the loyal followers.

matkot

Matkot – The End

Anyone who has been on a Tel Aviv beach in summer will be familiar with the sound of ball on wooden paddle and will enjoy this satirical short film.

Two guys set out to have the local sport of Matkot banned from beaches.

gadhafi was jewish too

Who will be next?

Apparently Moammar Gadhafi’s mother was Jewish.  Luckily he is not around to hear this going public – it is enough to ruin the reputation of a good anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist tyrant.  Bad enough that in his later years he reformed his bad-boy image and renounced terrorism.  Now we find out he was Jewish?

It is not the first time this has been mentioned.

A family relative living in Israel poetically confirmed the family secret.

It was also reported that his daughter, Aisha, may move to Israel – on the basis of the law of return.

You just can’t make up this stuff.

Maybe one of the betting agencies can offer odds on who will be next to be outed as a Jew.

silence from gaza

No, not silence from rocket fire by terrorists from Gaza into Israel.

Silence from the human rights activists and UN organisations – this time it is the Christians on the receiving end of Hamas justice.
