		<description>Thanks for that link, DR.

Did you also notice this telling admission of Dave's bias in creating the awards:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The JIB awards were conceived as a...way to bring attention to...Jewish, Israeli, and pro-Israel blogs out there, which I consider absolutely necessary in light of the mainstream media bias against Israel (and, to some extent, Jews).&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If this doesn't indicate the 'political' &#038; propagandistic agenda of JIBA I don't know what does.

Do you think you could e mail me with your real e mail address (that is, if you don't mind)?</description>
