The Writing on the Wall
Greetings and thanks for being here to savor a new batch of Laura's Links. Last week's column was filed before I heard the news of the murder of two, young, engaged employees of the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. One was an American Jew; Sarah Milgrim, the other an Israeli Christian; Yaron Lischinsky. The murders were brutal and savage and are certainly not "just" a Jewish problem, or an "Israel" problem, or a "Zionist" problem.

Live Around the Planet: Wednesday May 28th
UPDATE - Please click above to tune in to today's Clubland Q&A with guest host Melissa Howes. The good news is we have a brand-new upgraded audio player that, in addition to some new bells and whistles, is more user-friendly.

Please tune-in at 3pm North American Eastern/ 8pm British Summer Time for an hour of questions from Steyn Clubbers around the planet on today's edition of our Clubland Q&A. To ask a question, simply log-in and enter your ...
