MUSLIM ANARCHY IN THE UK

These nations cannot protect their citizenry, cannot control their outlaws. They gave their country away to the enemy and when they discover this .... they will blame the Jews. Is it still true that UK cops can't carry guns? What genius thought of that?

Hat tip to Amaros who remark, "Look at the sheer violence and the cheering of the abuse of a British cop !!! If they re so saddened that Gaza is getting bombed, why do they cheer and laugh at abusing a Police officer? I bet no charges will be laid, Muslims can do whatever they please in the UK after all it is occupied Muslim land."

We must stop jihad immigration. We must.

Demonstrator burns policeman's cap as thousands try to storm Israeli embassy in London

An anti-Israel protester snatched a policeman's cap and set it alight during a demonstration in West London last night.

The man paraded the burning hat as thousands of demonstrators tried to reach Israel's embassy in Kensington.

Others protested in Cardiff, Birmingham, Halifax and Sheffield.

In London, some climbed the embassy gates and were restrained by police. Crowds chanted, 'Palestine must be free from the river to the sea.'

The whole story and pictures here.

MUSLIMS KILL THEIR OWN IN THE WAR AGAINST THE JEWS, "COLLABORATORS" SHOT

What were these poor souls guilty of? Talking to a Jew? NO ONE is safe from pious Muslims.

And where was the world condemnation on these cold blooded murderers? Someone send a plumber over to Turtle Bay, they have their heads so far up their asses they need professional help.

Gaza 'Collaborators' Murdered by Maayana Miski, INN

At least eight people were murdered in Gaza on Sunday after escaping prison. The eight were killed for allegedly helping Israel fight terrorism by providing information on local terrorist groups. The incident was reported by one of Yediot Acharonot's Arab correspondents.

The incident began when Gaza's main prison, located near the village of Sariya, was destroyed in an IAF strike. Several prisoners managed to escape the damaged building, among them many who had been accused of cooperating with Israel or convicted and sentenced to death for “collaboration”.

Upon hearing of the airstrike, terrorists and relatives of terrorists killed by the IDF rushed to the prison and caught several of the escaping inmates. Those caught were immediately killed. One of the victims was identified as Jamal Randour, who was convicted of giving Israel information leading to the assassination of Abed Abu-Yusuf el-Kuku, head of the Salah el-Din brigades.

Fatah issued a statement on Monday holding Hamas responsible for the deaths of Fatah-affiliated prisoners. The group called on Hamas to allow Fatah-affiliated prisoners who escaped to remain free.

We waz robbed!

The Village Voice (does that old hippie, commie rag still exist?) did a year end round up of The Top 10 Rightblogger Stories of 2008 (at their new blog! woo hoo)

And while I was linked in the number one position for the timeline of Obama's mama and the reader posited  Malcolm X theory (the tards cannot get over that one even though that post was most  informative of his past but they never touched on any of that) - it seems I was robbed of the number 6 position. I broke that story May 18th- helllooooooooooooooo. Stealing should not be encouraged. You'd think big bloggers would follow form and not succumb to petty jealousy.

Hey, that's my pic too!

The real Top 10 Rightblogger Stories of 2008 are the investigative stories --  the exclusive Atlas news stories--  that I broke - big stories the propadandy nancy-boy media refused to cover as their prostrated themselves before the O-ssiah.

ISLAMIC FASHION ALERT! NO JEANS!

Oh my ...what are all those smelly old leftard hippies and Hollyweird fashionistas going to wear? Aug sent this along, "You know that pair of tight jeans that make your butt look fantastic? Fuggedubbouddit"

Deccan Herald - 'Wearing jeans un-Islamic'*

After terming love as “un-Islamic”, the Darul Uloom Islamic seminary in Deoband has said that Muslilms wearing jeans is a gunah (sin).

The seminary recently issued a fatwa (religious decree) against the wearing of jeans and transplanting and dyeing of hair in black.
These fatwas have been issued in response to three different queries, according to the Darul Uloom's Darul Ifta (department of fatwa). In response to a query on wearing of jeans by women, especially in cold countries in Western Europe, the seminary has made it clear that “jeans pants and shirts are against the shariat (Islamic rules)”. “The physical structure (curves) of the body is reflected if one puts on a jeans. Wearing them by a woman is a sin”, the fatwa said adding that it should not be put on by the menfolk also. “It is barred for men as well. Women, who want to look as men, are cursed”, the fatwa went on to say.

No hair dye for men? ....What will those pussy boys in NY and LA do?

On a query on dyeing one’s hair in black, the fatwa said that any other colour other than black is permissible. “Use of black hair dye is un-Islamic”, it said.
On another query pertaining to hair transplant, the Darul Uloom said transplanting artificial hair amounted to “cheating” and is therefore is “illegal”. The clerics say that Islam very clearly separates what is right and what is wrong. “He, who does even after knowing that it is wrong, is the sinner”, said a senior cleric. “Fatwas should only issued on religious matters and not social issues”, said Maulana Yasoob Abbas, the spokesman of the All India Shia Personal Law Board. All India Muslim Women Personal Law Board chairperson Shaista Amber also echoed similar sentiments. “The clerics should confine themselves only to religious matters”, she told Deccan Herald.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?

It will be a year on New Year's day when Yaser Said, one of the FBI's most wanted, brutally murdered his two daughters in the name of Islam - in an honor killing a year ago right here in Texas. He got away with Irving police being too afraid of insulting the Muslim population. Law enforcement still has not questioned or interrogated the two alleged accomplices - the mother from hell, Tissie, who dragged those poor girls home after they ran away (only to be shot to death 24 hours later) and the radicalized brother who gave his father the gun and, to this very day, violently threatens family member who speaks the truth about the horror those poor girls lived with.
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?  There is a $22,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. Send it around. (never seen before photos)
 

Their brother ISLAM SAID: "I HOPE YOU GET SHOT 9 OR 10 TIME JEST LIKE AMINA AND SARAH"

ISLAM SAID SCAMS THE SYSTEM, MORE THREATS OF VIOLENCE AND RAPE AGAINST FAMILY MEMBERS

"Said mafia" indeed - two illiterate thugs that were intimidated by two free little girls. Chattel in Islam

FAT EX-JINO WANTED TO JOIN THE LOVE-TO-HATE- JEWS-BOAT

UPDATE: SOMEBODY SHOVE A CHEEZBOIGER IN THIS NUTCASE'S PIE HOLE:

Click here: American Thinker Blog: Roseanne Barr says Israel's destruction 'assured'

A JINO is not a twisted or funky word  for vagina (though it applies) or GINO (as in gigantic though that too applies here) - it is an acronym for Jew In Name Only. Here we have the classic Jew hater in the XJINO category. Schlussel must have had to shower after writing this post:

.... here's another pearl of wisdom from Roseanne, saying HAMAS is just a minor street gang, even though 300,000 Palestinians just marched in a rally marking this major Iran-backed terrorist group's anniversary:

i told my friend [DS: Jihad Cindy] don't go! . . .

Israel is a NAZI state. The Jewish Soul is being tortured in Israel. The destruction of the jews in Israel has been assured with this inhuman attack on civilians in gaza. Hamas is the street gangs---this is equivilent to los angeles attacking and launching war on the people of watts to attempt to kill the bloods and the crips.

Has-Been, Unfunny Comedienne Roseanne: I Was Gonna Go w/Jihad Cindy on HAMAS Love Boat  Debbie Schlussel

One of the human embodiments of why parents shouldn't teach their kids two religions is Roseanne. It confuses the kids, and sometimes has long-term effects well into adulthood. The bizarre, has-been, unfunny comedienne was raised with both Mormon and Jewish upbringings and hates both religions as a result. And, also as a result, she's, well . . . screwed up. And she also hates Israel and, apparently, herself. But she loves HAMAS and Jihad Cindy.

Now, she's bragging that she was supposed to be on the HAMAS Love Boat with Jihad Cindy a/k/a loony Cynthia McKinney:

Cindy She-hag!  Roseanne! You are up next on the clitorectomy line. Hoorah!

ISRAEL BLOGGER CONFERENCE CALL BRIGADIER SHAFIR: GAZA DEFENSIVE

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Israeli Consulate of New York, invited me to participate in a briefing on the current situation in Gaza --  I just got off the phone, liveblogging it.

Ambassador Jeremy Issacharoff (Deputy Chief of Mission at the Embassy) and Brigadier General in Reserve Relik Shafir of the Israeli Air Force, briefed bloggers and broadcasters on the latest developments regarding Israel's response to continued rocket and mortar fire from Gaza.

Much discussion of what precipitated this military option -  the tens of thousands of rockets fired into Southern Israel, with intense escalation last week.

"Israeli wanted to exhaust the diplomatic option..... military option was the last resort. Hamas always  chooses the military option first."

"Hamas wanted to escalate the conflict" to undermine Fatah ....they felt much more isolated. This puts them center stage

Israel two objectives to cripple the terrorist infrastructure of Hamas - the military primary purpose we are focused what they are using all their air force assets

Military capabilities is the target. Disarm Hamas. Their military infrastructure is the target.

Up to yesterday 89 trucks of humanitarian aid.....

93 additional trucks went through the south of Gaza today Five ambulances (provided by Turkey) went through ....all humanitarian efforts are being made while the guns are firing

"We do not want a return from the status quo". "This is the key"

General Shafir conferences in from the field in Ashkelon where it has taken 30 hits from rockets and kassams - sirens going off - and you can hear in the air the sounds of war.

"We have tried to minimize collateral damage because we know it is going to be a long battle"....

My question was what is the objective of the war - to disarm Hamas or to take take out Hamas? If Hamas's objective is to destroy Israel, disarming is not enough - this is just more foreplay ....

"We need goals we can measure"

The objective is to "defend our citizens".

General said, we are in for the long haul this kind of power game is something we cannot shouldn't tolerate. This conflict will end will power or fire power

"we are not willing to fore go our ethics ...... we will not change who we are.

we will not target civilians

we will not fire into civilian areas

we will take out one by one - so course this will take longer. so it will probably take longer, but this is who we are."

They have destroyed three major weapon smuggling tunnels - they cannot guarantee a complete stop of shooting. Now its a hunt - taking out the targets.

"We could have stopped a lot more firing but will not bomb places where uninvolved civilians will be hurt"

"We have warned citizens in homes with factory making facilities. We have dropped leaflets, made phone calls - we see them moving out of their homes and then we remove the target ...."

"This is why you see a minimum of casualties" .... it's going to take a little while.

UPDATE: Rick Richman has more here.

The bloggers that participated on the call included Anne Lieberman of Boker tov, Boulder!, Carl in Jerusalem of Israel Matzav, Omri Ceren of Mere Rhetoric, Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs, Bennett Ruda of Daled Amos, Jerry Gordon of Israpundit, and Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit.

Rush Gold: UNLEASH ISRAEL

An oldie but a goodie over at Rush Limbaugh's place. He wrote it in 2001 and it got better with age.

Rush Op-Ed: Unleash Israel and Win Peace 

The only way some form of quiet will ever exist in the Middle East is if Israel is given the latitude to totally defeat its declared enemies. Only then will the terrorist attacks on Israel's civilians come to an end. Perpetual negotiations, diplomatic half measures, or land for peace deals will not bring peace to the Middle East. For those who believe this is an irresponsible notion, I use history as my guide.

HAMAS HACKS PRO-JEWISH BLOGGERS

There are, what, six voices blaring for Israel (and they are all on the net)? Of course I am being somewhat snarky when I say six but you get my point.
Well if it's even one, it is one too many for the jihad. Ted Belman called me to ask for advice - Israpundit has been hacked. If you go to the site you get this ''HAMAS OWNS YOU"and the html immediately hijacks your internet browser by raising an exception window which takes priority over the main web page.  When you answer the prompt , it immediately raises another high priority window and another and another etc....

Which only goes to show you how intimidated these neanderthals are by the truth.

Any advice for Ted and Jerry. leave in the comments section.

UPDATE: THEY'RE BACK. heh

IDF GOES YOUTUBE

This is a good sign. Will it offset the tsunami of antisemitic world press reports? Of course not but it is a signal that Israel finally recognizes the overwhelming impact of a Jew hating press. For those of us in pursuit of historical accuracy it is a much needed tool. So let me be the first to say thank you.

In the midst of its Gaza operations, the IDF is entering yet another conflict zone: the Internet. The Israeli army announced yesterday the creation of its own YouTube channel, through which it will disseminate footage of precision bombing operations in the Gaza Strip, as well as aid distribution and other footage of interest to the international community.

IAF destroys truck with Grads 
Footage shows terrorists loading vehicle with missiles; Navy joins op.

"The blogosphere and new media are another war zone," said IDF Foreign Press Branch head Maj. Avital Leibovich. "We have to be relevant there."

Her sentiment reflects a growing awareness in the Israeli government that part of the failure of the 2006 Second Lebanon War was Israel's lack of readiness for the intense media debate surrounding its operations.

Since the beginning of the Gaza air strikes, Israeli politicians have been appearing regularly on the largest international news networks to defend the IDF. Leibovich's YouTube initiative is another piece of the new media offensive.

UPDATE: Over at Israel Matzav:

YouTube takes down IDF's most popular videos    

Yesterday, the IDF opened a YouTube account.

I just got an email indicating that because YouTube has removed the IDF's most popular videos, the IDF spokesperson's office has opened an account at LiveLeak instead.

Noah Pollak has more.

This was apparently too much for YouTube, which moments ago removed several videos from the IDF’s channel, including the most-watched video, which showed a group of Hamas goons being blown up in an air strike as they loaded Katyusha missiles onto a truck. The point of such footage, as if it needed to be said, is not to revel in violence — it is to show the legitimacy of Israeli self-defense.

The rank double-standard that YouTube has applied to Israel is disturbing. YouTube hosts all manner of similar footage — much of it far more gory than the grainy infrared images posted by the IDF — of U.S. air strikes. Why is YouTube capitulating to those who do not wish for Israel to be able to tell its side of the story?

Why am I not surprised?
In any event, LiveLeak is much more willing to post non-PC material, and I will try to do my part to get the word out.

UPDATE; CAIR STAGES A RALLY TODAY IN PHILLY! GO COUNTER PROTEST. Arab and Muslim Americans and allies will be protesting   the indiscriminate killing by Israel of Civilians in Gaza.   We are demanding an immediate Cease Fire and call on our   Government to push the Israeli Government to accept one.       

  Location: The Israeli Consulate—1880 JFK   Blvd—Philadelphia.      

  Time: Tuesday, December 30 2008 at 4:00pm     

    "Despite the public 'green light' given to the Israeli   military by the Bush administration, Arab and American   Muslims join our fellow citizens who respect international   law and the sanctity of human life in protesting this   massacre carried out using U.S. taxpayer-funded weapons.

Is CAIR saying all Muslims are antisemites and do not believe in the Jews right to exist?

Sanctity of human life? So why do Muslims dance the snoopy dance of glee when homicide bombers strap one on and kill people. Why aren't Muslims protesting that? Why aren't CAIR and the Muslims they claim to speak for protesting Mumbai?

  "It must be clear by now that the only future offered to   the Palestinian people by the outgoing administration was   one of perpetual subjugation and humiliation at the hands   of the Israeli occupiers. Unfortunately, our nation's   timid response to this tragic episode will only serve to   fuel anti-American sentiments in the Muslim world.

Why isn't it the other way around in this country? How about Muslims sentiments in the American world?Are they threatening Americans?

Lather, Rinse, Repeat ......

Looks Like Mega NAILED it in the comments section ................... he has the situation in Israel down to a T. I want Mega to be wrong, but he's not. It's .......... perfect.

Is it just me, or does it look like Israel is starting to fall back on hitting empty buildings, sports stadiums, etc.? Seems like we've been down this road before in 2006.

The pattern:
1) Israel starts out with an aggressive military response to the terrorists - the goals are somewhat fuzzy, but it does feel cathartic
2) The terrorists go to ground quickly after taking a minor hit to key forces and weaponry
3) The Arabs riot in the streets of Europe and across the middle east
4) Western govts get nervous and turn the screws on Israel to pull back and negotiate and make peace
5) The media reports it as a humanitarian tragedy story, complete with the pathetic pictures of Palestinian kids, leading to massive pressure on Israel to call it quits
6) Israel gets nervous and starts doing non-strategic things like flattening empty buildings, to avoid civilian casualties, while trying to figure out what to do next in the face of strong and (to them) unexpected international condemnation
7) The enemy, seeing that Israel has no real war plan, starts claiming victory, i.e. "survival" in the face of the onslaught of the world's 4th largest army blah blah blah, and uses some of its mostly-untouched forces and armaments, which were, of course, hidden beyond the IDF's reach
8) Israel calls it off and tells its citizens it won. Everyone knows otherwise.

We seem to be roughly at stage 6 right now.

The key ingredient in this repetitive mobius strip of failure is the inability of Israel's government to correctly anticipate the global pressure it will be under to call it off before a successful conclusion. Israel keeps expecting the world to be sympathetic and supportive. Israel is delusional.

Sorry to take the wind out of the sails of anyone who's pumped up and thinking Israel is on the way to a grand victory. I see Lebanon II unfolding, rapidly.
