NOTE: A brief review covering stories ISRAELEXIST readers are familiar with, but lumped together with commentary. It should also be said that something clicked in the American Jewish Mind around the time that the ASA issued its boycott resolution. There seems to have been a collective "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" flash. Hence, disparate sides working together. Now if we can get the two radicalized sides to stop calling each other names and shouting at each other we'd make some real progress.
