BERLIN The Austrian Constitutional Court said Friday that the government had acted legally when it seized the apartment complex in which Hitler was born, the latest and most likely last chapter in the long battle for ownership of the Nazi dictators birthplace. The court said in a statement that a law passed late last year allowing the expropriation of the three-story building was in the public interest, commensurate and not without compensation, and therefore not unconstitutional.

The Israeli authorities last week confiscated two tractors, a hydraulic excavator and other equipment used by Palestinians to carry out illegal quarrying that has been damaging a rare nature reserve in the Judean Desert. If major American newspapers reported the story, the headline would probably read: Israel Confiscates Palestinians Tractors. I say if, because theres really not much chance The New York Times or Washington Post would ever cover a story that reflects badly on the Palestinian cause

Greenblatt is CEO and National Director of the Anti-Defamation League. Last weekend, organizers of a gay pride parade in Chicago ejected three people carrying pride flags emblazoned with a Jewish Star of David. Subsequent bizarre statements attempting to rationalize their action, claiming that Zionism is an inherently white supremacist ideology only exacerbated the sense that the organizers were deaf to the concerns of the Jewish community and engaged in anti-Semitism denying Jews the same rights that were extended to other participants, basically to celebrate their identities as Jewish queer women

In medieval times Jews were required to defend the Talmud against attacks by Christians. If they were deemed to have lost (which they inevitably were), the Talmud was then burnt. There is something equally medieval about bringing an Emeritus Oxford Professor into a Church to vilify and lie about Israel
