BLAME IT ON BAR: Naughty Refaeli Billboard Results in New Tel Aviv Poster Committee
A few weeks back we reported on the drama over in Israel surrounding a pair of Tel Aviv jeans billboards featuring the model — and Leo-ex — Bar Refaeli. Turns out the poster up top — the one with the cleavage — was oh-so scandalous to Tel Aviv’s orthodox types, who protested loud and proud [...]

ENOUGH: Jewish Groups Slam Nazi Imagery in Obama Health Care Debate
In what we hope will be the beginning of a much-needed reapproachment between America’s Jewish establishment and the White House, leading Jewish advocacy group the Anti-Defamation League has sharply critcized right-wing opponents of Pres.

ON DISPLAY IN JERUSALEM: The $30 Million Marie Antoinette Watch
Twenty five years after it was brazenly stolen from Jerusalem’s L.A. Mayer Museum for Islamic Art, the $30 million “Marie Antoinette” watch is back on display in the Holy Land.
