Lebanese Band Commits Suicide




Beirut Spring, an impressive Lebanese blogger, has made some salient points regarding Mashrou Leila, the Lebanese rock band that cancelled their position as the opening band for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

No need for me to gild the lily here. Read BeirutSpring's words HERE and quoted as calling them "the first artistic suicide bombers who have killed off their career for a dubious cause." Dubious is putting it mildly.

Thank you, Mustapha, for your courage to speak truthfully.

Batsheva - An Insider's Perspective



Jackie Kemp, granddaughter of Robert Kemp, co-founder of the Edinburgh Festival, weighs in on the attempts by the terrorist sympathizers of the BDS and their related organizations to ban Batsheva from performing. Article Here.

Although they were incapable of stopping the show - they did cause many disruptions within the show. As Jackie understands, these disruptions are a disgrace to art and a slap in the face against the very purpose of the Festival.

As Jackie points out, the Edinburgh Festival was created after World War II to bring art back to a world that had been stripped of it in the raping violence of war. Today, the anti-Israel crowd continues to want to leave us in the darkness and fear of their terror.

I applaud Jackie's willingness to speak truth to the lies. I applaud Batsheva's courage to continue their award-winning beautiful work in the face of tyranny and I applaud all artists who bring us light.

Michael Jordan Loves Israel...Maybe




This is a great story about a brave, Australian women who owns a sneaker store and has the courage to stand up to the threats, harassment and intimidation of a handful of BDS hooligans. The entire article is chock full of inspiring quotes by individuals in Australia who refuse to be bullied by the terrorist supporting BDSers. Bravo.

Even more awesome is the above picture. This is a "illustration" of a shoe. I think it is based on a Nike Jordan 7 or 8. Just a little confused why they didn't show an actual shoe.
