“Uvda” means "facts" in Hebrew, and it's the name of a highly popular TV program hosted by investigative reporter Ilana Dayan.

Dayan began the show by claiming that the attack was most likely carried out…

If you can't make a crack about jesus in the Jewish State, in Hebrew, on late night private TV, then we are really in serious trouble. A
Vatican statement said a skit, broadcast on a late-night show on Israel's private Channel 10, had "ridiculed -- with blasphemous words and images -- the Lord Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary." Surely Catholic bishops can find something…

A recent Jpost magazine cover story, "
Jesus for Jews", was inaccurate on a number of accounts. Columnist Larry Derfner gave the numbers of Jewish messianics at 7000, but we know the current estimates are 10,000- 20,000. Also Derfner doesn't appear to like
Yad L'achim or Orthodox Jews very much, whereas he sees the…
