I won&#8217;t distribute or alert you to these brief insights via email or syndication\u2014they&#8217;re too frequent\u2014so you have two options for following them.<\/p>\n<p>The first, for Facebook users, is to become a &#8220;fan,&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/martinkramer.page\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. My posts will show up in your stream, and you can also post comments on them. (Sometimes I comment back.) The second, for those who don&#8217;t use Facebook (or aren&#8217;t my &#8220;fans&#8221;), is to visit my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.martinkramer.org\" target=\"_blank\">homepage<\/a> whenever you want to catch up. There&#8217;s a Facebook widget embedded at about the middle of the page, with all the latest posts.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I have something more substantial to say, I&#8217;ll continue to say it at Sandbox, and you&#8217;ll received it in the format you&#8217;ve chosen.<\/p>\n<p>Below are three sample Facebook posts from the past week. Visit my Facebook page for many more.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Stephen Walt <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2009\/09\/18\/AR2009091801146.html\" target=\"_blank\">advises<\/a> Obama on Israel: &#8220;To succeed, Obama must use his bully pulpit to explain to the American people that the two-state solution is by far the best outcome for Israel and that time is running out.&#8221; Uh, why not explain that to the Israeli people? Walt doesn&#8217;t get it: Obama forgot to reassure the Israeli public, who think he&#8217;s just another Hussein. Israeli opinion is the key to peace, and Obama lost it.<\/li>\n<li> I resent it when opponents of Israel&#8217;s existence criticize Israeli policy in prime outlets, but aren&#8217;t identified as deniers of Israel&#8217;s right to exist. George Bisharat, a law professor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/news\/opinion\/commentary\/la-la.1.mn_commentary.newart2-2009sep18,0,3402202.story\" target=\"_blank\">endorses<\/a> the Goldstone report in the LAT. But we aren&#8217;t told that Bisharat <a href=\"http:\/\/3.ly\/1R4\" target=\"_blank\">supports<\/a> the dismantling of Israel. LAT readers should know that these are Goldstone&#8217;s boosters: they want to erase Israel, not fix it.<\/li>\n<li> Of course Tony Blair has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yaledailynews.com\/news\/university-news\/2009\/09\/11\/q-blair-yale-was-right-ban-cartoons\/\" target=\"_blank\">backed up<\/a> Yale&#8217;s suppression of the Muhammad cartoons in a book about them, to be published by Yale U Press. The US operations of Blair&#8217;s personal foundation are <a href=\"http:\/\/3.ly\/vN1\" target=\"_blank\">based<\/a> at Yale, and he <a href=\"http:\/\/3.ly\/Ci5\" target=\"_blank\">collects<\/a> over $200k per annum to co-teach a Yale course. Blair is in bed with Yale, and if Yale says day is night, Tony will don pajamas. As usual, just follow the money.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re a subscriber to Sandbox, you may be interested to learn that I&#8217;ve taken to mini-blogging on my Facebook fan page.
