Orthodox Jews to Join Other Arab Organizations in Protest Against the AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) Annual Dinner, and Against the Recent Atrocities in GAZA  FOX Business

NEW YORK, Jan 31, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Place: Outside the Marriott Marquis Times Square, NYC

Date: Thursday, January 31, 2008

The following is a statement by Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, a spokesman for Neturei Karta International:

AIPAC: (An Institution Perpetuating Atrocities and Catastrophe)

Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, a spokesman for Neturei Karta International, Jews United Against Zionism, stated at a recent meeting: "Philanthropists, government representatives and well meaning people, should be apprised of the reality, that supporting Zionism and the State of 'Israel' does not help Jews or Judaism, but on the contrary only helps to perpetuate the tragic impasse and constant bloodshed in the Middle East, both of Arab and Jew.

[..]

The Rabbi further stated: "The terrible oppression and deaths wrought on the Palestinian people in general and now particularly of those residing in Gaza is yet another example of the awful consequences of Zionism. We Jews true the Torah, issue a passionate condemnation of these latest Israeli atrocities. The deaths and suffering of these people, is only the most recent example of the sixty year toll of human suffering created by the Zionist enterprise in the Middle East.

"History clearly attests to the fact that the Jewish existence in all Muslim countries was mostly harmonious and only since the inception of Zionism has this relationship been destroyed. Remove the intimidation and hyperbole of AIPAC and its ilk, and any logical person will conclude that the difference of religion is not the cause of the deep seated rift between Jews and Arabs. The new ideology, the political movement of Zionism, which culminated in the form of the State of 'Israel,' is the real culprit. In fact, Zionism is the direct cause for the exacerbation of anti Semitism universally."

Jews lived in harmony under Muslim rule?

"Furthermore, we are forbidden to oppress another people or steal their lands and homes etc. We are commended to be loyal, peaceful citizens in every country wherein we reside."

The Rabbi added that, "It is a great embarrassment to us that the Palestinians have suffered so much for so long at the hands of those who masquerade as representatives of the Jewish people. Zionism is a movement that disregards the Jewish faith and its teachings on every area of life, including its commandment that we seek peace and justice towards all people.

There's more sick hate but I won't run it. These aren't Jews, they are annihilationists in Jewish clothing.

I wrote FOX I strongly recommend you do same.

Editor,

This is vile Jew hatred by clowns that wear Jewish clothing. They do not represent Orthodox Jews. They do not represent Jews. They are a sick aberrant movement. I have taken a screenshot and will be posting this on the net.Unbelievable. How irresponsible and dangerous.

Political Straight Talk

This just about sums it up. Doc Nancy quick take;

"One thing I disagree with Rush is that Bill Clinton's recent behavior hurt Hillary. I think he saved her ass by taking the attention off of her with his controversial statements... so people stopped focusing on her ever more obvious shortcomings. Bill, the media's favorite, was for the most part forgiven and Hillary faded into the background as an idea (which is so much more appealing than the real life person she is). Now she's poised to win Super Tuesday and if she runs against MacCain in a two party race, she's got it. The media will then embrace her like they did in New York while finally giving us the dirt on the hot tempered, unstable man who left his crippled wife for young hot rich Cindy, leadership-hamstringing grandstander, Gitmo-closing-advocate, waterboarding-as-torture-but-apply-Geneva-conventions- to-Islamic-enemy-combatants so we look better in the world, KEATING FIVE STAR WHO GAVE GOVERNMENT "BACK" MORE THAN $100,000 EVEN THOUGH HE REALLY DID NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT SOME VACATIONS PAID FOR ,OH, AND A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS, campaign finance reformer who hacked the first ammendment and screwed the country empowering the satanic George Soros and other groups like him as one of the only ways to finance politics now, all to clean the Keating 5 excrement off his butt so he could fulfill his highminded political aspirations Johnny-come-lately Iraq War supporter. Yes, then when he runs against Hillary we'll hear it all...that's if it's necessary, if she slips in the polls or something".

Private Members Motion M-446

Huge news! Norman, Atlas reader north of us, writes me excitedly:

This is a very big deal.

That, in the opinion of the House, subsection 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act should be deleted from the Act.

Subsection 13(1) is the part of the Act that Islamofacists are using to harass and attempt to silence Ezra Levant, Mark Steyn and Macleans magazine. The motion was made by a Liberal MP - Keith Martin. I have written to him and my MP - to express my support.

 

The brave, wonderful Ezra Levant has the whole story here.

Keith Martin, a Liberal MP from Victoria, has introduced a private member's bill motion that is as groundbreaking as it is concise:

That, in the opinion of the House, subsection 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act should be deleted from the Act.

This is important for several reasons:

1. It's evidence that the "undernews" of the abusive, unaccountable conduct of the human rights commissions has caught the attention of at least one MP (we can assume Sen. Anne Cools is watching things, too).

[...]

4. By taking the initiative -- and beating other MPs, especially Conseratives, to the punch -- Martin will get some well-deserved credit for leadership. But he'll also make it easy for Conservative MPs, even the Conservative government itself, to "follow" his example, rather than to lead. In a way, Martin takes the political risk; by supporting him, the Tories are merely sensible and bi-partisan followers. He's the point-man.

5. The fact that Martin is a "visible minority" is irrelevant to most normal Canadians, but to the identity politics Left, it's a sign of his moral virtue, and thus makes him even more politically safe.

Congratulations to Martin for doing the right thing. But more than that: he has given the government itself a political opening to amend this awful law. The Conservatives should ensure that Motion M-446 goes to a vote, and every one of them -- as well as other MPs of good faith from every party that cares about freedom -- should join with Martin to make his amendment law.

And Stand your Ground has a great piece too.

Geert Wilders Gets Death Threats

Geert Wilders Dares to Release Movie Critical of Koran 

"The announcement posted  in the event that Geert Wilders releases his film, also proposed sending letters to the media explaining that the threats are motivated by Wilders' attacks on the Koran, and urges forum members to recruit Muslim youth in Europe and to train them to make bombs to attack the Netherlands, which they called "an apostate country occupying Afghanistan."

Islam is out of control.

On January 30, 2008, a participant in the Islamist forum www.ek-ls.org (hosted by Crystal Tech Web Hosting Inc., in Phoenix, AZ, USA) posted an announcement in which he promised the imminent release of an audiotape message by the Emir of Al-Qaeda in the U.K. According to the announcement, the message will include an oath of allegiance to Al-Qaeda and a promise to join the global Jihad.

B). Iraqi Jihad Groups Announce Joint Assault on U.S. Forces in Solidarity with the Palestinians
On January 24, 2008, the Islamist forum www.alhesbah.net (hosted by NOC4Hosts Inc. in Florida, USA) posted a communiqué allegedly issued by the jihad group Kataib Thawrat Al-'Ishrin. The communiqué announced that thirteen Iraqi jihad groups (among them some groups openly opposed to Al-Qaeda) have decided to launch a joint assault, called Hamlat Al-Tawaum (Solidarity Campaign), against the U.S. forces in Iraq, as an act of solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza. Another communiqué, posted January 27, 2008, announced that Kataib Thawrat Al-'Ishrin had carried out its first operation as part of this campaign.

C). Islamists Call for Death Threats Against Geert Wilders' Girlfriend, Associates
On January 29, 2008, participants in the Islamist forum Al-Ikhlas www.ek-ls.org , (hosted by CrystalTech Web Hosting Inc., Phoenix, AZ, USA), posted an announcement calling, in the event that Geert Wilders releases his film, for death threats against his girlfriend and against anyone else associated with him. The announcement also proposed sending letters to the media explaining that the threats are motivated by Wilders' attacks on the Koran, and urges forum members to recruit Muslim youth in Europe and to train them to make bombs to attack the Netherlands, which they called "an apostate country occupying Afghanistan."

Muslim schools to conduct own inspections Telegraph hat tip wolf

Private Muslim schools have been given the power to police themselves, despite widespread fears over religious segregation, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.

In a controversial move, they have won the right to appoint their own Ofsted-style inspectors. A new independent watchdog has been set up to be more "sensitive'' toward Islamic education.

The decision comes despite concerns some private Muslim schools are already failing to prepare pupils for life in modern Britain.

Barry Sheerman, the chairman of the Commons schools select committee, told MPs last month local councils were finding it "difficult to know what is going on in some faith schools - particularly Muslim schools".

But religious leaders defended the move, saying the curriculum and religious traditions in faith schools demand specialist knowledge.

The Daily Telegraph has learned the Department for Children, Schools and Families [DCSF] approved plans for the Bridge Schools' Inspectorate last week, giving it the power to inspect about 60 private Muslim schools and 50 Christian schools.

Ofsted will still regularly vet the new inspectorate, but the move has been criticised.

Baroness Massey, the Labour peer, said any decision to set up separate inspection bodies would "reinforce differences and divisions" between religious groups.

Last night Mr Sheerman described the move as "very worrying".

Considering madrassas are hotbeds of hate speech and inculcation to violent jihad, I find it "very worrying as well".

UPDATE: Melanie can't believe it either and she is hard to shock.

Obama's Obucks

BARACK OBAMA RAISED $32 MILLION IN JANUARY, TOPPING WHAT HE HAS RAISED IN A SINGLE MONTH DURING THE COURSE OF HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

WaPo HEARTS BLOODY ISLAMIC RITUAL, ASHURA

Unfathomable. (WaPo video) "extraordinary ritual"

The Washington Post's account of the bloody, masochistic ritual of Ashura is jaw dropping. It calls to mind the puff piece The New York Times did on clitorectomies. The fact that Muslims have brought this vile (blood borne disease anyone?) practice to the streets of New York is bad enough (here and here), but the media's exaltation of such violence is twisted. They want to impose Islam on our us.

In the first in a series of "Islam's Advance", the Washington Post shows extraordinary willingness to throw themselves onto the pyre.This takes dhimmitude to a whole new level. "Islam's advance" - advance? Certainly this medieval ritual is no advance (as in modern) so the advance they are referring to is the advance of Islam on Western civilization. They  seem to be welcoming our eventual surrender. These leftards are ill. Morally ill and void of reason.

BLOODY RITUAL, MODERN MEANING Washington Post (hat tip rut)

For the first installment of Islam’s Advance, I want to take you into the heart of this ritual and explain what Ashura means today. Throughout the Shi’ite world, adherents express their mourning by beating themselves. In some regions this involves hitting one’s chest with a fist

[...]

To watch Ashura in Afghanistan is to be plunged into a world that may seem, at first, seem medieval in its intensity. It hasn’t always taken this form. There have been long periods in Afghanistan, under the Taliban and Communist regime in the 1980s, when Ashura observances were banned. Then the rituals were forced underground, and performed in windowless rooms in private homes. Over time, too, the nature of the ritual has changed, with the use of knives prevailing over swords, flails, and the traditional chest-beating.

I met two old men in Kabul, during the build-up to the ritual, who refused to watch. They believed that Ashura in recent years had become “too showy”. The knives they used in their day were longer, they said, and only sharp on one side. “The fashion is for them [the knives] to get shorter and shorter, and now they’re double edged. That means a lot more blood,” said the man, “I think people are forgetting about the purpose of Ashura.”

Their comments, I thought, were a little grouchy. After all, Ashura is a rite overwhelmingly performed by young men, often in their teens, with the older generation cast as onlookers.

But clearly something about Ashura, in its various forms over the centuries, fulfills a deep, human need. I repeatedly asked Fouad Hussein, the subject of this video, what that was - just what made him beat himself. His answer – “for love” – was baffling at first until I witnessed the ritual.

I began to see Ashura as a test of love and devotion: for the Prophet’s grandson, but also for each other and for the community. Over the course of the morning these young men, who lead remarkably complex lives – often poor, with little job security, and caught between the radical voices in the Islamic world and allure of Western consumerism they see on television or the cinema – manage to resolve their tensions in an act of catharsis.

Obama's Muslim Summit

Spoken like a true ...... Muslim. This fits in perfectly with Obama's tacit support of Kenya's Odinga, a violent opposition leader that has signed an agreement with Islamists to institute sharia should he wrest control of the government from its current President. Obama was raised in a madrassa, he knows what sharia (Islamic law) is. Shariah is completely and utterly incompatible with freedom and democracy.

Obama would hold Muslim summit: interview

PARIS (AFP) — US presidential hopeful Barack Obama has told a French magazine he wants to organise a summit of the Muslim world if he makes it to the White House.

Muslim and Western leaders would be invited to the summit for "a discussion about how we can prevent the widening misunderstandings and gaps between the Muslim world and the West," Obama said in the interview to Paris Match.

"I will ask them to join us in battling terrorism but we should also be willing to listen in

Obama lived in predominantly Muslim Indonesia with his mother and a Muslim stepfather for four years as a child, but his parents were not religious and he was baptised as a Christian as an adult.

In the interview, Obama also said he wanted to shut down the US Guantanamo prison camp in Cuba and end the war in Iraq.

"As long as we are maintaining an occupation in Iraq, it's going to be hard to focus on other things," he said.

UPDATE: Abe Greenwald over at Commentary queries here;

Is he planning on doing this before or after bombing Pakistan? Because that could have an effect on that gap he’s talking about. And in what phase of their nuclear program will Iran be when Obama has this sit-down with the mullahs? And will he require Tehran to rebuild the cobwebbed American embassy first or is he through with international law altogether? And when it’s the Iraqi prime minister’s turn to speak, what will Obama do when he requests the return of the 100,000 troops he just withdrew from that country?

Obama represents a foreign policy disaster of untold proportion. With a doctrine of pre-emptive appeasement and the perfect advisory team to institute it, every gain made by the Bush administration would evaporate. The greatest overarching accomplishment of the past five years was implementing the imperative that we will not deal with hostile nations on their terms. In many Muslim countries, the “gap” Obama talks about is not a side-effect of cultural differences, but the stated goal of anti-American policies. The only course of action is to support Muslim moderates in their efforts against extremists and secular tyrants. Our president doesn’t need to sip tea with Bashar Assad or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and hear about the evils of Israel in order to work towards that goal.

Read it all. Greenwald making perfect sense.

McCain is Nuts

......... and that just about sums it up. In a nutshell. It is only a matter if time before he goes off  like a ticking time bomb. I can't wait for him to blow like the Dean scream or insane Perot - as long as he reveals himself before super Tuesday.

The leftarded media is dying for a McCain win - that way its a Dem vs. a Dem.

Watching the Republic debate tonight, the differences could not be more stark. Mitt was Presidential. Really magnificent. And why is Huckabee still in there? It's to take the air out of Romney because those evangelicals would be his. It's an important 10%.

U.S. sells Syria dual-use tech that could be used by Iran World Tribune hat tip Katherine

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration has approved the sale of advanced dual-use computers to Syria

It's a major piece of equipment and is being given to an ally that could use it for military purposes as well as share it with Iran," an official said.

The export, disclosed by the U.S. television network Fox, was approved despite U.S. sanctions on Damascus of military and advanced dual-use systems. Syria, deemed a terrorist sponsor, has been in the same category as Iran and North Korea

Officials said the State Department has provided a license for the sale of advanced computers for a Syrian border surveillance program. They said the systems were being provided through a United Nations program that could significantly enhance Syria's military capabilities.

In 2004, President George Bush signed legislation to severely restrict technology exports to Syria, deemed a gateway of Al Qaida for the war against the U.S. military in neighboring Iraq. But the legislation allowed the president to waive sanctions on grounds of U.S. national security.

MARINES ATTACKED IN BERKELEY, CA

City Calls Marines “Unwelcome Intruders”

SAN FRANCISCO – The City of Berkeley, California has passed two resolutions attacking the United States Marine Corps, calling the Marines, “uninvited and unwelcome intruders in the city.”

The Berkeley City Council voted to condemn the Marines on Tuesday night (January 29th) as part of a campaign by anti-war activists to shut down a U.S. Marine Recruiting Center located in the city of Berkeley.

The votes by the Berkeley City Council were immediately condemned by Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org), the nation’s largest grassroots pro-troop organization.

“It is disgraceful that in the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement, anti-military activists would attempt to silence the same military men and women who serve this country and give their lives to protect the free speech rights of all Americans, including these ungrateful and despicable people on the Berkeley City Council,” said Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward.

The actions by the Berkeley City Council followed continuous protests by Code Pink and other anti-military organizations that vandalized and defaced the U.S. Marine Recruiting Center in September 2007.

A Florida Voter speaketh

Dr Nancy after voting,

Our Republican primary was bogus and I'm furious. We're so manipulated with tricks, it's gross. This never happened before where our field was studded with press choices making the probability of a true conservative choice less likely and they illegally let independents vote in our primary. "The poll workers were instructed to let such people choose" according to the Sun Sentinel and they showed in record numbers. This is not supposed to happen. It's so creepy. They keep contaminating the Republican vote. People like Peggy Noonan and Fred Barnes think MacCain is the only one who could win? Who cares? Hillary, MacCain, not much difference

PULL IT OUT FOR ROMNEY

It cant be McCain. Puhleeeeze.  Just look at his foreign advisers James Baker and Scowcroft. banner hat tip J

McCain told Haaretz that as president, he would "micromanage" U.S. policy toward Israel and the Palestinians and would dispatch "the smartest guy I know" to the region, presumably to jump-start a new push for a comprehensive accord.Asked who that "smartest guy" might be, McCain responded: "Brent Scowcroft, or James Baker, though I know that you in Israel don’t like Baker."

McCain foresaw "concessions and sacrifices by both sides" and indicated that Israel would be expected to "Defend itself and keep evacuating." Asked whether that meant "movement toward the June 4, 1967 armistice lines, with minor modifications," McCain, reported Haaretz, "nodded in the affirmative."

McCain’s statements are jarring not only because they reflect the view, long championed by the State Department and both the moderate and liberal wings of the Democratic party, that the U.S. can somehow "micromanage" a fair and equitable Mideast peace (code for unilateral Israeli concessions, since the Palestinians have nothing concrete to concede), but as well for the almost cavalier dismissal of concerns about an interlocutor on the order of a James Baker.

(McCain’s mention of Scowcroft, whose Mideast views and chilly attitude toward Israel are indistinguishable from those usually attributed to Baker, is equally instructive and should serve as one more caveat for McCain supporters in the pro-Israel community.) (more at NRO)

McCain was against the Bush tax cuts.

McCain was a potential running mate with Kerry.

McCain is a liberal.

McCain undermined the Republican party with the gang of 14.

McCain is wrong on illegal immigration.

McCain is wrong on "waterboarding"

Why would Giuliani even think of  endorsing a man who wants to weaken the Patriot act, give habeas corpus to terrorists, close down Gitmo? Oh yeah let's not forget the jihad endorsement of The New York  Times. Rudy wants the veep spot? Yech.

WALID PHARES ENDORSES MITT!

UPDATE: STEYN! STEYN! STEYN!

I'm getting a bit tired of Senator McCain's anti-business shtick. The line about serving "for patriotism, not for profit" is pathetic. America spends more on its military than the next 35-40 biggest military spenders on the planet combined: Where does he think the money for that comes from?

As for his line about "some greedy people on Wall Street who need to be punished", aside from being almost entirely irrelevant to the subject under discussion (the subprime "crisis"), it reveals, I think, one of the most unpleasant aspects of McCain. For a so-called "maverick", he's very comfortable with the application of Big Government power, and the assumption of Big Government virtue. Undoubtedly there are "greedy people on Wall Street". Why should he and his chums be the ones who decide whether they need to be "punished"? If greed is to be punishable, why doesn't he start with a pilot program applied to, say, the United States Senate and report back to us in five years how that's going?

Primary triumph doesn't seem to be doing anything to mitigate the small and graceless side of McCain. On the other hand, John Hinderaker might be on to something here:

Businessmen, in my experience, are generally more idealistic than politicians. Businessmen really do make deals with a handshake. No one would dream of doing that with Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi or the Clintons. Turning a businessman loose in the political world is basically a mismatch. That's the sense I get of McCain's reaction to having Romney as his last serious rival. He can't believe his good fortune; Romney is an amateur. McCain can poke him in the eye, knee him in the groin, and the rule-following businessman has no idea how to respond.

I don't view this as an argument in Romney's favor. As President, he wouldn't be dealing with honorable, law-abiding businesspeople. He would be going up against the Vladimir Putins, Osama bin Ladens and Harry Reids of the world. This is not a game for amateurs. I think we should recognize that professional politicians bring important experience and skills to the table, and that one of those skills is the ability to knee an opponent in the groin and get away with it.

UPDATE: And while we are on the subject of McCain's failings and misrepresentations of his record. You must read the meticulously researched piece by A Jacksonian over at his blog Dumb Looks Still Free:

LEFT IN THE DESERT OF HIS OWN CREATION

As so many like to point to Sen. John McCain's American Conservative Union ratings, I decided to take a look at them!  It gives a good idea of what they see as important and how members of Congress voted on those items.

Thus starting in Mr. McCain's House time, and votes contrary to what the ACU supported are listed (Year - ACU percent - comments), all ratings from the ACU Ratings site and I am doing my best to de-conflict the votes for on a proposal against and such [note that non-votes are on ACU cited votes, not of all votes taken].  This list is representative of their views which are biased and I do disagree with a number of their takes and backing, but it is a fair view from a given biased perspective of how to grade Congresscritters:

Now go and read it all then send it to your neighbors!

 

Brititude Dhimmitude

The celebrated Jew hater Ken Livingstone has proposed a surrender doc to Islam. Here's the PDF link.

Ken Livingstone commissioned a report called "Common Ground". Here's   some extracts and also attached is the report:- (hat tip Liam)

From Livingstone:

The research undertaken for this report highlights examples of good practice and makes recommendations to news organisations as to how they can play a role in morefairly portraying Muslims and Islam through self-regulation and the development of codes of professional conduct. Increasing Muslim representation in the media is essential to overcome theelementaryignorance upon which so much Islamophobia – as with other forms of prejudice and bigotry – feeds.

Other gems:-

"4 Foreign policy
Much of UK foreign policy works to the disadvantage of Muslims overseas. Examples include the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, support for the government of Israel in its dealings with Palestinians and ; Lebanon, insufficient criticism of the US creation of Guantanamo Bay, and exploitation of natural resources, particularly oil, in Muslim  countries. "

"Western and Islamic values are not incompatible. For example, the objectives (maqasid)and essential interests (masaleh daruriyah)of the Shariah (Islamic Law) – namely, the development of individuals, social justice and communities through the protection of life, intellect,  religion, family and wealth – are little different from the deeper values and principles that underpin European human rights law, as captured in the European Convention of Human Rights. "

"Consideration should again be given to amending the Press Complaints Commission’s (PCC) terms of reference so it can consider distorted and inaccurate coverage of groups and communities as well as of individuals, and can consider complaints from third parties."

"The term ‘Islamophobia’ in its current sense was coined in about 
1990. Itcan be a useful shorthand term for referring to coverage that:
• presents narratives about Islam and Muslims as threats at the same
time as ignoring or misrepresenting alternative narratives
• does so with closed not open ways of thinking, talking and engagement
• is likely to increase insecurity and vulnerability amongst Muslims
• is likely also to provoke anxiety, fear and panic amongst non-Muslims
• is unlikely thereforeto help diminish levels of hate crime and acts of
discrimination against Muslims
• is unlikely to contribute to an informed debate about ways of 
maintaining and developing Britain as a multicultural, multifaith democracy. "

WINOGRAD REPORT: THE CASE FOR OLMERTS DISMISSAL

On the eve of the publication of the Winograd report, the reserve general and former commander in chief of armored vehicles, Avigdor Klein, believes that the biggest mistake made during the War of Lebanon was that of the prime minister who failed to set clear objectives for the army.  (Guysen.International.News)

Yid with Lid has the report fresh off the presses and it aint pretty. It is a stunning indictment of Olmert's incompetence. Fire the tool because as reprehensible as his tenure has been,  he won't resign despite an approval rating of 2% or os it 3?  He's a chaza.

WINOGRAD REPORT-Lebanon Was a SCREWED-UP

The long awaited Winograd Committee report is finally out. The conclusions published in the 500 page time should be no surprise to any Mid-East observer. The report called the Second Lebanon War "great and severe missed opportunity." and the final 60 hours of the war in which dozens of IDF soldiers were killed a waste, saying it "did not achieve any military objectives nor did it fulfill its potential."

The real mistakes behind the War was in communications and judgment. While the committee did not make any political judgments, it is clear to this reader that Olmert's lack of clear and definitive thought process should preclude him from remaining in office.

'Filthy' Jews days are numbered - Iran

Ahmadinejad tells West: Accept Israel's 'imminent collapse'  Haaretz

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on the West Wednesday to acknowledge Israel's "imminent collapse."

Speaking to a crowd on a visit to the southern port of Bushehr, where Iran's first light-water nuclear power plant is being built by Russia, Ahmadinejad further incited his listeners to "stop supporting the Zionists, as [their] regime reached its final stage."

"Accept that the life of Zionists will sooner or later come to an end," the Iranian president said in a televised speech.

He added, "What we have right now is the last chapter [of Israeli atrocities] which the Palestinians and regional nations will confront and eventually turn in Palestine's favor."

Iran does not acknowledge Israel and Ahmadinejad has in the past sparked international outcry by referring to the systematic murder of six million Jews in World War II as a "myth" and calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map."

Iran is currently also mediating in the crisis over the Gaza Strip, where Israel has imposed a blockade on border crossings into the coastal territory, barring the entry of supplies into the already impoverished area. Last week, Palestinian militants blew holes in the barrier separating the Gaza Strip from Egypt, prompting hundreds of thousands of Gazans to pour into Egypt in search of supplies.

Ahmadi mediating Gaza... thats like Goebbels mediating Nuremberg.

Ahmadinejad also urged the Western powers to help build nuclear power plants in his country saying it will be too late if they do not decide to do so immediately.

"If you will not come, this nation will build nuclear plants based on its own resources and when you come some four years later it will reject your request and not then give you any opportunity," he said.

"I am addressing leaders of two or three powers; do you remember I sent you message and told you to stop be stubborn? If you think that you can block the movement of Iranian nation, you are wrong," the Iranian president continued.

Also on Wednesday Ahmad Fayyazbakhsh, the deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization told reporters the first Iranian-made light-water 360 megawatt nuclear power plant will go operational in 2016 in the southwestern Iranian town of Darkhovin.

The United Nations Security Council has been trying to pressure Iran to freeze uranium enrichment, but it has repeatedly refused, and officials from the International Atomic Energy Agency have privately said Tehran is expanding the program.

The Security Council is considering a new draft resolution that calls for additional sanctions against Iran, including bans on travel. Two sets of sanctions have already been imposed on Iran for refusing to halt enrichment.
