JERUSALEM BASED THINK TANK LAUNCHES NEW EFFORT TO TEACH ABOUT AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM AND ISRAEL’S RENAISSANCE

(JERUSALEM) A new policy institute, the Israel-American Renaissance Institute / I-ARI, with offices in Jerusalem and Philadelphia has been launched by a group of veteran scholars. Professors at American and Israeli universities, both Jews and non-Jews have been brought together by political scientist Paul Eidelberg to discuss the importance of the basic ideas and values found in the Bible of Israel to the futures of both nations.

Dr. Eidelberg earned his doctorate at the University of Chicago, where he studied under the world-renowned scholar Dr. Leo Strauss. His trilogy on America’s founding documents is considered without parallel: The Philosophy of the American Constitution, On the Silence of the Declaration of Independence, and A Discourse on Statesmanship. In 1976 he joined the faculty of Bar-Ilan University in Israel.

No sooner did this 1960s radical ease himself back into the foreign minister’s seat after four years in the opposition than he unveiled again his anti- Israel prejudice. “No apartheid state is justified or sustainable,” he told a panel discussion in Helsinki last […]

http://politicalmavens.com/index.php/2011/11/03/its-enough-already/ Many of the Occupy Wall Street protests—which began with generalized calls for anarchy—have now slipped into anarchy themselves. Anarchy and violence. Rampant drug use, rapes, theft, smashed windows, public urination, defecation and sex, and physical clashes with police have made these demonstrations into hotbeds of chaos—which is what the organizers would like to export […]

http://politicalmavens.com/ The Occupy Wall Street Performance is a perfect example of what happens when people in charge deign to make tough decisions promptly and put their collective fingers to the wind instead.  At the outset, Mayor Bloomberg wholeheartedly supported the encampment under the rubric of freedom of speech and assembly.  Despite the fact that the […]

Report: Sarkozy calls Netanyahu ‘liar’

http://www.ynetnews.com

Microphones accidently left on after G20 meeting pick up private conversation between US, French presidents. Sarkozy admits he ‘can’t stand’ Israeli premier. Obama: You’re fed up with him? I have to deal with him every day!

The conversation then drifted to Netanyahu, at which time Sarkozy declared: “I cannot stand him. He is a liar.” According to the report, Obama replied: “You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!”

The remark was naturally meant to be said in confidence, but the two leaders’ microphones were accidently left on, making the would-be private comment embarrassingly public.

http://www.prudenpolitics.com/index.php/pruden/full_column/rattling_sabers_at_the_iranians Something is definitely going on between Israel and Iran. More behind-the-scenes diplomacy? Plotting tougher sanctions? Or is something real finally in the works? It’s not quite clear what that “something” may be. Uncertainty is exactly what the Israelis prescribe for now. The window of opportunity to destroy Iran’s nuclear-weapons program is swiftly closing, Western […]
