About Kesher Talk

  • "Kesher" means "connection" in Hebrew. The banner image is the mosaic floor of a 6th c. synagogue in Jericho, showing a menorah flanked by a shofar and lulav; the inscription reads "Shalom Al Yisrael." (This synagogue was destroyed by Arab vandals a few years ago. The condition of the mosaic floor is unknown.)

Exposing the UN with YouTube

David T at Harry's Place tsked at baby-faced UNWatch activist Hillel Neuer:

My mother always used to say to me:

"There are some things you say, and other things you just think".

This is a lesson this young fellow from the pro-Israeli UN Watch has clearly not learnt.


But Neuer was obeying the first law of debate as political theater: You are not trying to change the minds of your opponent, but speaking to the bystanders, using your opponents as a foil. In that context, his original denunciation in YouTube video form, as well as the one which showed acceptable speeches in the UNHRC (posted one more time at the bottom of this post), was enormously effective. They were viewed thousands of times. The world was reminded once again in graphic terms how corrupt the UN is, and informed that there is an organization dedicated to continue reminding it.

Shire Network News interviews Neuer about his organization, his speech and its results. (Podcast) (Neuer does come across as a bit of a smartass, but in a good way.)
