If you are, I was there. It was very enjoyable and I think that is when my attitude on this subject changed. Wasn't Dersh one of OJ's attorneys? Cochran was probably the best one. Ray,

Whenever the israelis go to the trouble of denying a crime, you can be all but certain they are guilty of it. Perhaps the world will put a stop to them before it's too late.

His wife is an Israeli, maybe she could be co-opted... this law is a PR stunt to discredit Hayom. "In fact, if Israel had a constitution it might actually be the democracy..." Israel has Basic Laws that are a de-facto constitution, the SC overrules other laws and government action based on them, democracy isn't safeguarded by a written constitution, not in Israel and not in anywhere else. “I’m guessing that even if this bill passed that Adelson, who must retain a team of crack attorneys for just this eventuality, would figure out a way to co-opt an Israeli to be his front-man owner.”
