Fellow Israelis are nothing but a bunch of moaning minnies according to Michaella Adler, 22, student

How expectations have fallen for the once great Utopia for Jewish People -
"Are you Jewish? Fancy a complete change of lifestyle? Then come to Israel where we've a soup kitchen on every corner, in case things don't work out for you"

Sometimes the BBC make it so obvious they're taking the piss - they can't be serious, surely?

Anyway, great news - the deracinated Chagossians are getting to go back to their home, if only for a short visit
Paradise regained - for a few days
Just shows that ordinary folk like our good selves do help those who have been treated unfairly, and we can make a difference.

Keep up the great work you two!

Anyone else notice a strange coincidence about the lineage of the new hopes for peace in Israel? The parents of both Ehud Olmert and his deputy Tzipi Livni were Irgun leaders in the 1940s...

I thought Moshe Arens's article was th ereal earthquake.

I didn't know you could inherit Irgun-ness from your parents.
