    “Tablet Magazine contributor Christopher Hitchens”.

    Wow, that’s a monument of irony. The same Hitchens?, that opportunistic sack of droppings who defended holocaust denier & British historian David Irving, and who invited for diner in his own house, holocaust denier Robert Faurrisson.

    You can say what you want about Hitch as a person. But the fact is that he is an enemy of Israel.

    This design is spectacular! You definitely know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
