G'mar chatima tovah 5786 - גמר חתימה טובה

This is an update my Yom Kippur message of previous years.

I unconditionally forgive anyone who may have wronged me during this year, and I ask forgiveness for anyone I may have wronged as well.

Specifically:

-If you sent me email and I didn't reply, or didn't get back to you in a timely fashion -- I apologize.

-If you sent me a story and I decided not to publish it or worse, didn't give you a hat tip for the story -I'm sorry. I'm also sorry if I didn't acknowledge the tip. I cannot publish all the stories I am sent, although I try to place appropriate ones in the linkdumps, or tweet them.

-If you requested help from me and I wasn't able to provide it -- I'm sorry.

-I apologize if I posted without the proper attribution, with the wrong attribution, or without attribution at all, including graphics.

-I'm sorry that I usually don't give hat tips on things I tweet.

-If I didn't thank you for a donation, I'm very, very sorry.

-I'm sorry if I didn't give the proper respect to my co-bloggers Ian, PreOccupied Territory, Varda, Daled Amos and the guest posters. Also to people who send me tons of tips.

-I'm sorry if any of my posts offended you personally.

- Please forgive me if I wrote disparaging things about you.

- I'm sorry if things got published in the comments that violated my comments policy but that I missed. I don't have time to monitor most comments.

This past year I finally published my cartoon book and then embarked on an initiative I had not foreseen at all - philosophy. I firmly believe that this is the most important thing I can work on. In recent years there has been an explosion of excellent commenters on Israel so my blog is not as essential as it was a decade ago; for that reason I have been shifting focus away from debunking the lies and antisemitism and towards trying to fix the root of the problem. To those who rely on my blog for the pro-Israel stuff, and especially to those who send me money, I apologize for this shift, but I honestly think that this is as important a task as anyone can do.

May this be a year of life, peace, prosperity, happiness, security, good health, Jewish unity, and complete victory over our enemies.

I wish all of my readers who observe Yom Kippur an easy and meaningful fast.

Memes to make todays useful idiot anti-Zionists uncomfortable

Yesterday I wrote that the anti-Zionists have a very good grasp of known persuasion techniques that they use effectively to attract and keep followers. Zionists, on the other hand, think that facts alone can win the debate.

One way to fight the methods of the haters is to reveal them so people can know that they are being played. So I made a series of three memes for the anti-Zionists to humorously expose how many of them were manipulated - much like members of cults.

Showing them that they are wrong about Israel almost always backfires with the "true believers." But showing them how they are being used as pawns might make some of them realize that they are not acting as nobly as they might think.
