Emmanuel Sivan / So what does the Arab and Muslim street really think?
2:29 (GMT) - 13.03.2010
Haaretz.com - Opinion
What does the Arab (or Muslim) street think? Whom does it hate and whom does it admire? These questions have reverberated among us from the days of Gamal Abdel Nasser to Hassan Nasrallah today. But who speaks on behalf of this "street"? Due to the lack of reliable public opinion polls, authoritarian rule and media outlets that are trained what to say, it's not surprising that the assessments of the man on the street are so incomprehensible and based merely on impressions and gut feelings.

Speak softly and carry a big stick

Haaretz.com - Opinion
The Israeli consulate in Los Angeles held a cocktail party in a restaurant in honor of the creators of the film "Ajami," an Oscar candidate for Best Foreign Language Film. During the celebration, actor Elias Saba, who looks particularly young, lifted a glass of champagne to toast his friends. Before he could say a word, the owner of the restaurant stopped him and asked whether he was 21, the minimum age for serving alcohol in California. Because he had no such ID, he was insulted. Even though the consul explained to him that those are state laws, the actors left the restaurant angrily, one for all and all for one - the motto of the Three Musketeers that is applied in Israel, too, when it comes to violating the law in public.

President Peres is turning against Bibi
13:12 (GMT) - 11.03.2010
JC comment
Two or three times a day, Shimon Peres stands in the President's mansion, receiving groups of blushing beauty queens, farmers and international parliamentarians. Each group gets its share of smiles, joint photographs and the standard joke, always some reference to the great man's age.
In the absence of a royal family, only the 86-year-old mega-statesman can lend grandeur to the informality of Israeli official events.
But no one ever expected him to be just a figurehead. The man eternally branded by Yitzhak Rabin as "a tireless schemer" could not stop playing politics even if he tried.
