If your Sunday is quiet, here's some interesting reading from recent days that is worth checking out:
As the 60th anniversary celebrations continue, Daniel Levy writes that "Israel has locked itself into a box of fear."
Over at The Atlantic before Bush spoke to the Knesset, Jeffrey Goldberg had an extended interview with US Sen. Barack Obama about his thoughts on Israel, the endorsement the Democratic presidential candidate got from Hamas leader Ahmed Yousef and more.
In London, The Guardian had a story about a newly-released letter from Albert Einstein in which the Jewish genius describes religious beliefs as "childish superstitions" and disparages the Jewish claim to be "the chosen people."
Gershom Gorenberg writes about attempts by the pro-Israeli group CAMERA to secretly co-opt Wikipedia entries on Israel.
Matt Beyon Rees, a long time reporter here who now writes a series of successful mystery novels featuring an amateur Palestinian detective, had a piece in The Telegraph of London titled "How I Found Peace in Gaza."
"Blood and Sand," is a piece by David Remnick at The New Yorker that takes a look at Israeli historian Benny Morris and his new book, "1948."
Then you can read "From Dove to Hawk," a piece by Morris on how his views of the conflict have changed over the years.
I just want to thank Israel in advance for its sacrifice to save America.
When during Obama's term Iran nukes Israel out of existence I am sure that would wake America up to how wrong it was to elect Obama, and to the threat the Left is to America.
It would cause a change in direction away from socialism and we should be electing a good President in 2012.
So, again, thanks for your sacrifice. It will not be for vain.
