My gorgeous, smart and talented friend Jill has finally agreed to share the extraordinary story of how she, a non-Jewish Englishwoman, ended up in Tel Aviv. Part One has been up on One Jerusalem for less than a day, but it's already getting a lot of attention - and for good reason. Go read about how she learned Hebrew, convinced the irascible David Landau, editor of Haaretz, to give her a job and kept her sanity through the second intifada - even when the cafe down the street from her apartment was hit by a suicide bomber.(full disclosure: I was recently hired to edit One Jerusalem).
A Danish paper publishes a cartoon that mocks Muslims. An Iranian paper responds with a Holocaust cartoons contest. Now a group of Israelis announce their own anti-Semitic cartoons contest!
"We'll show the world we can do the best, sharpest, most offensive Jew hating cartoons ever published! No Iranian will beat us on our home turf!"
No, this is not a joke. I mean, it's funny - but it's for real. Read the whole story here.
