• Blaze staff offers gift ideas for Keith Olbermann’s Bday

  January 28, 2012 at 9:40am

  Our (now defunct) satirical podcast celebrated his departure from MSNBC thusly:

• Revealed: The First Pictures of the Model Who Lost Her Eye, Hand in Propeller Accident

  January 19, 2012 at 10:30am

  I might be out of place but I don’t think The Blaze should run these pictures. They are clearly long lens shots taken by paparazzi photographers without permission.

  I think The Blaze is better than this: you don’t need to participate in this dirty business and perpetuate it.

• Israeli Bill Would Outlaw Comparisons to Nazis

  In reply to krisdwashnh.

  Technically it is illegal to attempt to convert a Jew to Christianity in Israel. Though (and I have checked) I’ve not been able to find a single case of this law ever being acted on.

• Hear the Tear-Jerking, Fastest-Selling Single in Britain in 3 Years…By a Group of Military Wives

  In reply to whatthecrazy.

  We had rain on Christmas Day in Israel but that’s a good thing here :-) Sea of Galilee (Kinneret) is up in level by half an inch which is a really good thing.

  It’s a nice story from my former home… popular culture picks a worthy winner for once.

• AP: Do Palestinian Textbooks Really ‘Teach Terrorism’ as Gingrich Claims?

  December 18, 2011 at 6:21am

  Here are some pictures of Hamas kids and Jewish kids at a party. The AP’s fact checking misses the point and jumps through hoops to make Newt look bad and, of course, bash Israel. It’s a piece that is not worthy of The Blaze on both scores.

• AP: Do Palestinian Textbooks Really ‘Teach Terrorism’ as Gingrich Claims?

  Scott, I’m taking issue again with you for re-posting uncritically an AP story that is basically a hit piece. The quote from Itamar Marcus (while probably directly true) is clearly torn, bloody and bleeding, from statements he might make and is completely at odds with the 30 minute segment that aired on GBTV a week or two ago!

  The kinds of moral equivalences drawn in this AP hit piece are abhorrent and it is beneath the quality of The Blaze to post uncritically on The Blaze. It is well below your standards.

• Netanyahu to Host Regular Bible Study Groups at Official Israeli Prime Minister’s Residence

  December 12, 2011 at 10:46am

  Its more special than learning bible in school. I’m a largely secular Jew living in secular neighbourhood BUT the whole rhythm of the year and living in Israel is JEWISH. The holidays are nearly all religious and based around religious festivals.

  It’s hard for Jews outside of Israel (especially non-religious ones) to understand what an amazing feeling it is. I have huge respect for my religion and brining my kids to Israel gives them something I never had growing up in the UK. It’s priceless and it SO MUCH BIGGER than bible studies.

  But it’s very welcome that we have a prime minister who (I believe) respects the religious traditions and philosophy on which our entire country is based.

• Egyptian Coptic Christian and ‘Fourth-Class Citizen’ Describes Savage Massacre During Congressional Hearing

  Remind me again, why is Israel’s treatment of Palestinians the greatest evil in the world? I forgot while reading this.

• Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Blasts UN Agency on ‘The Truth’ About Palestinian Refugees

  December 9, 2011 at 12:32pm

  There’s an important thing going on in this video that no mainstream (or even major non main stream) source is commenting on. This video attacks the core basis of Islam right at it’s core.

  This video has one very careful sentence that describes Islam for what it is: a criminal scheme to take over the world by invasion, subjugation and occupation.

  “Over 850,000 Jews, from ancient Jewish communities predating Islam and the Arab occupation of the Middle East, were forced out of their homes”

• Virgin Megastore in Qatar ‘Recommends’…‘Mein Kampf’ — Then Pulls Book After Complaints

  December 7, 2011 at 8:22am

  It should be noted that Mein Kampf has, for a very long time, been the second best selling book in Arabic. No prizes for guessing the No 1 bestseller.
