Gaydamak Doesn't Talk, He Acts!

So ridiculous it almost defies parody. Does Israel have a Saturday Night Live to mock the pretensions of this shameless billionaire? If not, it needs one.

I am feeling down in the dumps about the Jerusalem mayoral race. Of the three main candidates, none is remotely progressive. They are all just pathetic bit players in the endless Israeli culture wars.

This is the other reason I have trouble being optimistic about the future of Jerusalem. The Wiesenthal Center wants to build a Museum of Tolerance on top of an old Muslim cemetery? Only in the Middle East.
