The Model of Politically Correct Self-Deception

Another Tack: Permanently High Plateau, by Sarah Honig (Jerusalem Post)

“The collapse that threatens us… is far more horrendously final than insolvency, with no comebacks or meaningful retrospection likely thereafter.”

Excerpts;

Once upon a time there was a very prolific star economist named Irving Fisher. Always inordinately confident of his astute clairvoyance, he was among the forerunners of the modern breed of celebrity financial gurus.

His most famous prediction – in October 1929 – was that “stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.” But a mere few days later, alas, reality confoundedly interfered with Fisher’s rosy forecast and the stock market uncooperatively crashed. read more

Chanukah: Jewish Law Must NOT Break

Hanukka and the Limits of Pluralism, By Stewart Weiss (Jerusalem Post)

“We cannot tolerate those who would change the basic rules of the game.”

“Thus observing the Sabbath on Sunday, believing in Jesus or redefining ‘Who is a Jew’ evoke a call to arms by those who sincerely care about the future of Judaism. And it is in this context that we have to address issues like same-sex marriage or gay and lesbian ‘rabbis.’ While Jewish law has always been willing to bend, it is not prepared to break.” read more

Olmert Gov’t Falls for Ahmadinejad Strategy: Deny Holocaust, Praise Perpetrators

Column One: Why deny the Holocaust? By Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“Were Israel to base its diplomatic, military, informational and economic policies on a single-minded commitment to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear capabilities, it would succeed. Unfortunately, under the Olmert government Israel is doing nothing of the kind on any level.”

“Imagine what the impact would have been if Olmert had rejoined, ‘Excuse me, but it is quite possible that at the end of the day a military strike against Iran will be the only way to prevent Iran from acquiring atomic bombs and so committing another Holocaust. Given this, your blanket opposition to the notion of military strikes constitutes Germany’s effective acceptance of another Holocaust. Shame on you, Angie. Shame on Germany.'” read more
