Wives and Concubines in Modern Dating

September 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Conservative Pundits, Culture, Dating, Economics, Europe, Feminism, Politics, Religion, Sex

The Spear­head (ahem) looks at West­ern soci­ety and sees more and more women pur­port­edly choos­ing to become “mod­ern con­cu­bines”: If one takes a close look at con­tem­po­rary Amer­i­can soci­ety, it appears that con­cu­bi­nage is grad­u­ally reassert­ing itself in West­ern cul­ture and law. This is an inevitable result of the idea that men have an obligation […]

Sarit Hadad Lyrics and Israeli-Music Culture

August 28th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Civil Liberties, Culture, Entertainment, Europe, Immigration, Islam, Israel, Judaism, Language, Music, Personal, Politics, Religion, The Middle East

JERUSALEM — From Brit­ney Spears in the United States to Sarit Hadad in Israel to the Ben­daly Fam­ily in Lebanon, every­one seems to like cheesy, pop music. It might be the only thing that these three coun­tries have in com­mon. In a recent episode of the Israeli ver­sion of “Amer­i­can Idol,” pop singer Sarit Hadad […]

Barack “Hussein” Obama, Birthplace, and Globalization

August 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · Conservative Pundits, Culture, Economics, Education, Egypt, Europe, Globalization, Immigration, Israel, Judaism, Personal, Politics, Religion, The Middle East

JERUSALEM — David P. Gold­man, a.k.a. Spen­gler, argues that the “debate” whether Barack Obama is a Chris­t­ian or Mus­lim misses the real point: Today’s Google News leads with a new poll show­ing that 18% of Amer­i­cans think that Barack Hus­sein Obama is a Mus­lim. Only 34% of Amer­i­cans think he is a Chris­t­ian, down from… […]

Gypsy News: France Expels Many Romany Gypsies

August 21st, 2010 · 16 Comments · Britain, Civil Liberties, Culture, Europe, Feminism, Globalization, Immigration, Islam, Judaism, Personal, Politics, Religion

LONDON — Europe is start­ing to get sick of modern-day Gyp­sies: More than 100 Gyp­sies, or Roma, were put on a char­ter flight to their native Roma­nia on Fri­day, the sec­ond day in a row that France has expelled Roma in a much-criticized gov­ern­ment crack­down… Pres­i­dent Nico­las Sarkozy announced the crack­down on Roma in late […]

Changing Accents and World Politics

August 12th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Culture, Education, Egypt, Europe, Globalization, Islam, Israel, Personal, Politics, The Middle East

JERUSALEM — In an era of glob­al­iza­tion, has your accent changed when you speak Eng­lish (or any other lan­guage)? It may be likely: Amer­i­can researchers have found human brains imi­tate the speech pat­terns of other peo­ple, even com­plete strangers, with­out mean­ing to. Their find­ings, reported in the jour­nal Atten­tion, Per­cep­tion and Psy­chophysics, con­cluded this hap­pens when […]

Hairstyles in Religion and World Politics

August 11th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Christianity, Culture, Egypt, Europe, Iran, Islam, Israel, Judaism, Personal, Politics, Religion, The Middle East

JERUSALEM — One of the most inter­est­ing things about liv­ing in the Holy Land is the world pol­i­tics that sur­round hair­styles. In pol­i­tics in Amer­ica, male hip­pies in the 1960s grew their hair long partly as a sign of rebel­lion against the con­ser­v­a­tive pol­i­tics of the prior gen­er­a­tion, but that is tame com­pared to what […]

“Hey Baby” and Anti-Male Violence">“Hey Baby” and Anti-Male Violence

June 19th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Britain, Business, Conservative Pundits, Culture, Dating, Economics, Education, Europe, Feminism, Israel, Media, Personal, Politics, Sex, The Middle East

Mod­ern, angry women now have an out­let of their own through a vio­lent, anti-male video game that pro­motes the misandry that has become so preva­lent in mod­ern, West­ern cul­ture: Ever had one of those seem­ingly end­less days? All you want to do is to get home… You’re the last one out of the office. Its […]

Birthright Israel: Life Amid Violence

JERUSALEM — Every nation and coun­try has its his­tor­i­cal mem­ory — the lens through which it remem­bers the past, inter­prets the present, and hopes for the future: His­tor­i­cal data is objec­tive; his­tor­i­cal mem­ory is sub­jec­tive. This video enti­tled “I am Israel” does a pretty good job of show­cas­ing Israel’s his­tor­i­cal mem­ory (whether accu­rate or […]
