Swedish Excellence in Soccer .. Can A Jew Kick Goals?

Well, ethnicity is blurring, look at the latest athletic hero from Sweden ...

A spectacular strike by Sweden’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic was enough to give AC Milan a 1-0 win over Fiorentina on Saturday, moving them four points clear at the top of Serie A.

Turning to Ibrahimovic's moment of magic Allegri added: "That's par for the course for him to do that! He has other qualities rather than just physical..I don't know what Milan would be without him."

The article did not comment on Zlatan's origins, but the nose strikes me as a give away. In fact, I think I remember seeing this Zlatan in a movie. 

And God Said ....

Be fruitful and multiply ..........

Peace Now Outscores AIPAC on Facebook.

from an email:

The NY Jewish Week wrote an important piece Friday about APN’s success reaching out through Social Media:

Social media is the new currency of political activism. And which Jewish group has the most in the bank?

No, it's not the AJC or the ADL. Take a look at Facebook for the answer: it's Americans for Peace Now (APN), which currently has 17,039 Facebook users who "like" the pro-peace process organization.

AIPAC, the big pro-Israel lobby, isn't far behind with 16,229 fans, but let's face it: AIPAC has a lot more resources to work with than little APN. An informal survey puts J Street in third place with 10,210 fans; most of the other Jewish groups active on Facebook are way down in the triple digits, if that.

I know there is a horse-race element to this report, but something very important lies behind those numbers. APN’s base is growing for three basic reasons:

Christian Zionism

Worth a look!
