• Egypt arrested more than 100 protesters outside the Israeli Embassy in Cairo. [The Lede]
• Lars Von Trier: First a “Jew,” now a “Nazi,” always a jackass. [Roger Ebert’s Journal]
• Maureen Dowd on DSK. Much of this is good and funny, though comparing him to Wolfowitz is kind of despicable. Anyway. [NYT]
• Right-wing parties are on the rise throughout Europe. [Guardian]
• AIPAC sez: Don’t boo the prez. What if you want to say “Boo-urns”? [Ben Smith]
