By Phyllis Chesler We are entering an all-spin zone, a wild, weird and spooky season and I am not talking about Halloween. With a few exceptions, the mainstream media continue to kill stories about honor killings and attempted honor killings in North America.

Farouk Hosny has set out to destroy Israeli culture. Of course, this is contrary to the spirit of the Israel-Egypt peace treaty, if not the letter, but the Israeli government has been silent on this point. Hosny lost a bid to run UNESCO, because he threatened to burn all the Israeli books in the Alexandria library. Even the UN did not like the idea of a book burner as culture Czar. Israel and Egypt...

Where did Jesus live? I don’t mean, what part of the world did he live in, but, under what roof did he live? Where would you go if invited to spend the day with Jesus at home?
