Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense in fighting
Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense at all
Sitting on a fence is a man who strokes his twenty beards
Sitting on a fence is a man who drinks real ale

But the real problem with this man
Is he says he can’t when he can
He’d rather not get his hands dirty
He’ll still be there when he’s thirty

I told myself to keep my mouth shut
But I still end up saying if and but
I lied to myself right from the start
And I’ve just worked out that I’m falling apart

Sitting on a fence is a man who looks up to his guardian
Sitting on a fence is a man who swings from poll to poll
Sitting on a fence is a man who sees both sides of both sides
Sitting on a fence is a man who looks down on opinion

Barnstable police respond to a break-in at the Chabad Jewish Center on West Main Street in Hyannis yesterday.

HYANNIS, MA — Three youths will be arraigned Friday morning in connection with Tuesday’s break-in at the Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Cod. The local teenagers are accused of vandalizing the synagogue, pulling a charity box off the wall, smashing doors, and throwing phylacteries on the floor. Especially disturbing to the center’s rabbi and the broader community was the overt message the teens left in their wake.

When the break-in was discovered Wednesday, images of Adolf Hitler were displayed on each computer screen. Anti-Semitic literature was strewn around the building.

Clarke, Dems, Vote against Pro-Israel Resolution

Ms. Clarke at a function in Crown Heights congratulating her on being re-elected.

Yesterday, 33 Democrats voted “no” and 20 Democrats voted “present” on House Resolution 867, which condemned the “Goldstone report” on Israel’s conduct in Gaza last winter. The final roll call vote on the House floor was 344 for, 36 against, and 22 present.

H. Res. 867, introduced by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, calls on the Obama administration to oppose efforts by the Arab states in the UN General Assembly and other international forums to use the Goldstone report as a propaganda tool and a diplomatic weapon to attack Israel. In all, 21 percent of the Democratic caucus did not support this pro-Israel measure, including Crown Heightses representative Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke.
