		<description><![CDATA[A good op-ed from James Zoby in HuffPo: "Better than threats, which only serve to embolden Iran, I would suggest a combination of direct engagement (which has been tried too little), continued targeted sanctions (which are having a real impact) and a bit of ridicule."]]></description>

I also love Bradley Burston&#8217;s description of the skit as &#8220;portraying Birthright Israel participants as sweetly loutish, cluelessly hyper insta-Zionists.&#8221; UPDATE: It seems the video on YouTube as been disabled. You can go instead to this video, and scroll to 39:50. No English subtitles though, sorry. It&#8217;s on Vimeo now, so I re-added the video. (Via Rachel)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great feature from the Economist on the state of the Israeli hi-tech scene: Israelis innovate because they have to. The land is arid, so they excel at water and agricultural technology. They have little oil, so they furrow their brows to find alternatives. They are surrounded by enemies, so their military technology is superb and creates lucrative spin-offs, especially in communications. The relationships forged during military service foster frenetic networking [...]]]></description>
