Ancient Jewish Altar Found in Shilo
Ongoing dig in the Samaria town of Shilo turns up ancient stone altar from First Temple times or earlier.
A reader asks a question in the comment section, "How do you know it was a Jewish altar?"
A reader responds, " Good question. There are a few ways: In close proximity to pagan altars, archaeologists find bones of non-kosher animals, such as swine. Pagan altars don't necessarily have a ramp, but steps leading up. And they are constructed of hewn stones. So if you find an altar (1) in an area that is already established by accredited archaeologists be an ancient Hebrew cultic site, (2) made unhewn stones, (3) with evidence of a ramp, and (4) with bones of only kosher animals, it can be safely assumed to have been a kosher Israelite altar."

"It’s official, the New York Times made a “Wrong Choice” when they illustrated their story of the murder of sleeping soldier Eden Atias with a picture of the mother of his evil murderer."

Hundreds of readers wrote to me in recent days to protest the prominent use of a photograph that accompanied an article in The Times last Thursday.
The photograph was an emotional and sympathetic portrait of a distraught Palestinian woman, whose son had killed an unsuspecting young Israeli soldier on a public bus. Although it was a powerful image (in fact, partly because it was such a powerful image), it was a poor choice, failing to put the focus where it belonged....
A comment published below the IsraellyCool post includes, "This bias at the Times happens too often to be just another ‘poor choice”. The errors and “poor choices” always seem to occur when reporting on Israel. The negativity is ALWAYS directed at Israel. The “poor choice” always benefits the “Palestinian” cause and never seems to hurt it. There is a concerted effort to change the public’s perception of the Palestinian terrorist. This begins at the headline, which should read, PALESTINIAN KILLS ISRAELI.
This type of headline (with the nouns reversed) is often used when Israelis kill Arabs in self defense."

The NY Times (Slimes, as said by the wise) is and always was one of the most anti-Semitic newspapers and has, with great thanks to wise people who have stopped purchasing it, lost many consumers. Before WWII and, of course, during that war, when millions of Jews were being slaughtered, while the paper was owned by 'jews', they showed contempt for those 'lowly East European Jews'. No Jew with any integrity and love for his fellow Jew, should ever purchase their newspaper.
