India has the third largest number of Muslims in the world. That makes it a natural for some to rise up in India against a domination that can only mean trouble for the Hindus. An alliance on Twitter between Hindus and Jewish conservatives is a natural association, both expected and appreciated.  A combination of a rich Jewish history in India, the recent slaughter at the Mumbai Chabad House in November 2008, and the promising India-Israel friendship and joint technological efforts make for some especially interesting discourse. 

I've been thinking a lot about the "peace talks" and the fact that Israel must sit down with our sworn enemies to make peace. How can we forget that the "peace partners" had roots in Nazi Germany?

What will Netanyahu do? What is the new partnerships we see between mainstream American Jewish organizations and New Israel Fund and J Street? How much actual influence do they have in Israeli policy? Is there anything that can lead us to survival and a peaceful co-existence  with all the treachery and danger that presents itself?

I don't have any answers, only questions.

Jonathan Pollard acted as an agent of the State of Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Tuesday, in reaction to a comment from Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren that was interpreted as suggesting otherwise.
Pollard is in the 25th year of a life sentence for passing classified information to an ally. While Israel initially made a point of distancing itself from him, the government, in May 1998, during Netanyahu’s first term, formally recognized him as an Israeli agent.
Oren appeared to backtrack from this stance in an interview with Washington radio station WTOP that was interpreted by American and Israeli media as suggesting that Pollard had been part of a rogue operation.

Libya's long time leader Gadaffi recently traveled to Italy. This is his fourth time this year visiting Rome. The Libyan Foreign Investment Company is building up a humongous portfolio in Libya and also abroad while some try to play down suspicions on Arab money.  This time the Libyan troublemaker ruffled the feathers of Pro-Vatican politicians. And how, pray-tell did Gadaffi do that? Well, he tried his own brand of proselytizing.
