This week we talk to Nick Cohen, Guardian writer and now the author of What's Left: How Liberals Lost Their Way. He talks to Tom Paine about how he's been using his journalism in the UK to try to convince the Left not to drink the "Bush is Hitler and America is the re-born Roman Empire" kool-aid.

You can find more information about the tunnels alongside the Temple Mount's Western Wall here: and make it a goal of your life to visit one day.

In Blog News this week we talk first about the terror plots in Britain. Not much point linking, the world is awash with news of this.

Both PMW (who brought us the original Farfour video) and Memri have the final moments of his life. Sick stuff. You can find links and the video in our earlier post.

Israellycool Dave has the great background work on the CNN weather. Other blogs may have given credit to LGF, but Dave brought it to the blogosphere first.

Meryl Yourish is telling us about the immigration bill.

Tomer Israeli is back this week and apologising to the BBC.
