New York Post Editorial: Israel on the outs — again

"Once again, Israel was excluded from one of Team Obama's pet projects — the Global Counter-Terrorism Forum, a group of 29 nations that met this week in Spain.

The BBC's talent for misrepresenting Mizrahim

"To read this article you would never guess why hordes of Mizrahim would willingly choose to put themselves through the mill of cultural oppression that is Israel.

They maintain that the Mizrahim simply "arrived" in Israel from countries like Morocco, Tunisia, Iraq, Yemen and Iran in the years following its establishment — like aliens from the planet Zog."
