$19 BILLION FOR WHAT'S IT?

Facebook will buy the mobile messaging service WhatsApp for $19 billion in cash and stock, the company announced. WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum got out of Kiev's “troubling political and anti-Semitic environment" when he was sixteen. “I’ve known Jan for a long time, and I know that we both share the vision of making the world more open and connected,” Zuckerberg, who also is Jewish, wrote on his Facebook page.

A JACK RUSSELL HAS MORE!

The so called Museum of Tolerance in LA has acquired a 1937 letter written by Bertrand Russell in which the Nobel Prize-winning philosopher says if the Nazi army invades his native England the British should invite Adolf Hitler to dinner rather than fight. All of which goes to show that you can have brains bulging out of your head and still be a friggin' idiot! Latter day Russell clones can be found at JStreet and the likes of the Israeli Peace Now movement.

Hi, I'm dead, but you could have called me Bonkers Berty.

SHINY NEW CITY!

The Palestinians are busy building a city! Rawabi, the brand-new Arab Palestinian city you've never heard of  (with phase A coming to completion) will soon be accepting the first of 25,000 middle class Palestinians. But the shiny new city on the hill - a third of the engineers on this project are Palestinian woman - is not only a model of Palestinian entrepreneurship, it is also a little-known exemplar of Israeli-Palestinian cooperation. "Projects like this bring our peoples closer together", says Bashar Al-Masri, the entrepreneur behind an unprecedented construction project that is changing the West Bank landscape.

RATTLESNAKE...

The latest Obama choice from the anti-Israel pick-an'-mix tray for a key White House post is Arafat apologist and Hamas luvvie, Robert Malley. Obama's actions always expose his real political DNA and betray his honey tongued ways. Trust Obama? I'd sooner trust a rattlesnake down me undies!

THE PROMISE IN PERU!

Peru is looking to become Israel's most important partner in Latin America. Israeli companies have invested in excess of a billion dollars in Peru, primarily in enterprises dealing with agriculture, medicine, energy and telecommunications. Israel also has strong defense ties with Peru that go back many years.

PHOTO OP AT LOBOTOMY CENTRAL!

The Al-Qaeda-linked groups in Syria, Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS have been selling oil to the Assad regime in exchange for money and recruits with the assistance of that "moderate" regime in Tehran. The Islamo-fascist mullahs are using Al-Qaeda’s Iran-based network to thwart US foreign policy objectives. News to me that the Surrender-in-Chief Obama has one!  (Image: Copyright Control)
