Here in NYC - attacked by Islam on 911. It is sickening to see this depraved trash in the American city that took the biggest hit in the biggest attack on American soil in the history of this nation.

Red Squirrel was there.... more pics here. The Squirrel paints a grim picture:

DAY FOUR: Free Free ‘Fakestinians’ Assault the streets of Manhattan. Today they were marching to the Israeli ‘mission’ (isn’t that cute). Not the Israeli Consulate.The Left continues to rewrite history. An outrage? You bet.

A crowd of 3,000 maybe 4,000 filled their assigned pens on Broadway  but they also chose to spill on to the sidewalks. As always, the leftists do what they want by fiat because the police simply can’t rope them all in…so …as long as they aren’t rioting…they roam the streets with their offensive signs and flags. Little parades on the sidewalks and in the crosswalks: constantly.

However, WE….the Pro-Israel Patriots  are penned in…even those who were trying to pass out informational flyers with the FACTS, the TRUTH were penned in. Also, trying to take a picture of the Pro-Israel side AGAIN was complicated by the police stepping into the pictures. This happened to other photographers on our side. Not just to this photographer. The police are controlling US…Not them? Why?! Why no pictures?

The hate-Israel crowd is very confident. they own the streets. I was told to ‘get out of here’ and I was flipped off and cursed each time I said “Long Live Israel’. One of our group was shoved in the face because(as a woman of color) she had no right to support Israel.. There was a bit of fun at the N/W corner of 42nd  and 7th Ave. I caught  two of our Patriots staying on-the-streets with the wandering ‘fakestinians’…It was wonderful to see them hang close and tight with their Pro- ISRAEL message forced among their Hate-Israel messages.

 

Then the March. When it began there was a HUGE uproar (planned in my opinion for the photographers). The march began, turned onto 42nd street and a ‘pali’woman came screaming at the cops that the march was NOT to start yet. She was in charge and to STOP the march. Her people came and surrounded the officers in charge…then more officers came and surrounded her people and she kept demanding the march stop. Lots of yelling and confusion and  lots of pictures and film rolled taking in this situation…and of course…now the traffic was blocked. Finally…the cops said they were to move and the march continued.

42nd street was a long march. Traffic at each avenue had to be able to pass, so this very large crowd would go through intersections in groups. Five large groups I think passed through slowly at Sixth Avenue as they passed Bryant Park.. Turning at Third Avenue. Going uptown to 48th and then back down 2nd Avenue. When we arrived, a valiant few of our Pro-Israel patriots were at 2nd Ave and 42nd. It was great to see them. But, we are out-numbered. WHY?!

The ‘palis’ made a very BIG show for all of Manhattan to see….lots and lots of muslims….lots and lots of ‘fakestinian’ scarves…Is this our future? As Europe goes…What’s next for us. Be Afraid, America!

AMEN!

GROUND OP: IDF TROOPS IN GAZASTAN

IDF Vlog

The beauty of the whole world grand mal seizing with Jew hatred is ..... it doesn't matter what you do. If you shut off a lightbulb or you carpet bomb the rats' nests it's the same condemnation, so carpet bomb the rats' nests. Of course Olmerde, Barak and Livni do not have the moral courage (or any courage for that matter) to do what must be done.

When I was on the conference call earlier this week, I asked what was 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?

The answer was a diplobabble, roundabout - response - disarm Hamas.  In order to disarm Hamas, you have to disarm Iran. In order to neutralize Hamas, Hamas must be crushed (and Iran must be disarmed).

If Olmerde/Barak/Livni do not have the courage of their convictions, they have no right to send precious Jewish lives to their death .... for naught.

Caroline Glick excoriates the lily livered leadership here:

By maintaining its demand for control over the borders, Hamas has made clear that it has not changed its calculations of its interests. And this makes sense. Israel's air attacks have not degraded Hamas's ability to maintain control over Gaza in any significant way. IAF attacks have only destroyed between five and 10 percent of Hamas's smuggling tunnels, and so Hamas can still restock its arsenals. The IAF has caused no significant damage to Hamas's 20,000-man army, which went to ground before the operation began. Hamas's military and political leaders are also all safely in hiding.

Moreover, Israel's willingness to begin negotiations based on a draft that favors Hamas shows Hamas that far from losing this war, it is winning. So why would it reconsider its desire to attack Israel?

In truth, given Hamas's commitment to Israel's destruction at all costs and its indifference to the lives of its Palestinian subjects, there is only one way for Israel to secure its territory from Hamas attack. It must destroy Hamas's ability to wage war. The only way Israel can achieve its aim is by conquering Gaza, overthrowing Hamas's regime and destroying its military forces. Since the Olmert-Livni-Barak government has already stated that it will not launch such an attack, it is obvious that Hamas will end this war with its ability to attack Israel more or less intact.

All of this leads us to a very nasty conclusion. The Olmert-Livni-Barak government now leading Israel in its war against Hamas is no different from the Olmert-Livni-Peretz government that led Israel in the 2006 war against Hizbullah. Our leaders have learned nothing from their prior failure. Indeed they are reenacting it in Gaza today.

The only thing the public can hope for, and indeed demand at this stage, is for Olmert, Livni and Barak to forego any ground operation in Gaza. There is no reason for our soldiers to place their lives in jeopardy in a campaign that the government that has already decided to lose.

Ground op underway: IDF troops enter Gaza

Ground operation underway: Following heavy artillery bombardment, IDF soldiers enter Gaza Saturday evening; forces invade northern section of Strip; earlier, army fires hundreds of shells at areas adjacent to Gaza fence

Hanan Greenberg

Latest Update: 01.03.09, 20:42 / Israel News

IDF invades Gaza: IDF ground troops entered the northern Gaza Strip Saturday evening, as the army launched its long anticipated ground operation.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni met Friday night and approved the ground incursion. The operation was approved in principle in the cabinet session 10 days ago.

Earlier in the day, artillery cannons started to shell targets in the Strip. The IDF said that by Saturday evening hundreds of shells had been fired at precise targets in Gaza. Much of Gaza was enveloped by darkness as night fell.

Meanwhile, Air Force aircraft continued to drop leaflets in Gaza, calling on residents to leave their homes in order to avoid injury. The leaflets dropped Saturday read: "Area resident, as result of the acts undertaken by terror activists in your area against Israel, the IDF is forced to respond immediately and operate in this area. For your own safety, you are asked to leave the area immediately."

 

Earlier Saturday, the Air Force attacked a vehicle in Khan Younis carrying Hamas officer Muhammad Maaruf and another group member. The two were reportedly killed in the strike. Saturday morning, a senior Hamas commander was assassinated.

Oorah .... an ultra special place in hell for them.

UPDATE: 2 soldiers seriously wounded in Gaza following heavy artillery bombardment, Israeli troops enter Hamas-controlled territory Saturday evening, operate mainly in northern areas to quell rocket fire; 13 soldiers injured; dozens of terrorists hurt, some killed. Defense Minister Barak: We won't abandon our citizens, IDF's job is to defend home front.

Go Israel!

Thousands protest in Europe at Gaza offensive Reuters

LONDON (Reuters) – Thousands of chanting, banner-waving demonstrators marched in cities across Europe on Saturday to demand a halt to Israeli bombing in the Gaza Strip.

Protests were held or scheduled in Britain, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain as the Israeli offensive entered its second week. Kuwaitis also took to the streets, a day after bigger Middle East rallies.

In Paris, police said more than 20,000 demonstrators, many wearing Palestinian keffiyeh headscarves, marched through the city center chanting slogans like "Israel murderer!" and waving banners demanding an end to the air attacks.

Similar protests were planned in some 30 other towns.                        

London police said more than 10,000 people staged a noisy march and rally to urge an end to an Israeli offensive against Hamas militants that has killed at least 435 Palestinians.

In many European cities people waved shoes -- recalling the action of an Iraqi journalist who hurled footwear at U.S. President George W. Bush in Baghdad last month in a symbolic insult.

British demonstrators threw dozens of shoes into the street as they passed the gated entrance to Downing Street, where Prime Minister Gordon Brown lives, and shouted angrily at a line of 40 police officers on guard there.

[...]

Paul Mukerji, 42, from Birmingham, acknowledged Israel had security reasons but called its action disproportionate.

Who dictates the proportion? The jihadis?

"The best way for peace for Palestinians and Israelis is to end the occupation," said Mukerji, who said he had spent six months working with Jewish and Palestinian peace groups.

What occupation? There has not been an Israeli toenail in Gaza since 2005. All lies, lies lies.

Ali Saeed, 24, from Luton, said Western governments had failed to condemn Israel's actions.

Failure to condemn self defense? The will to live?

UPDATE: BERLIN, GERMANY: SWASTIKAS ON HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL Associated (with terrorists) Press 

BERLIN (AP) -- Berlin police say vandals have daubed swastikas on some of the slabs that make up the German capital's Holocaust memorial.

"DAUBED"? WTF kind of word is that? An AP kinda word.

A police statement says security guards discovered the swastikas and anti-Semitic slogans on 12 slabs Saturday lunchtime. Authorities ordered the graffiti's swift removal.

The memorial to the Holocaust's 6 million Jewish victims consists of a field of 2,700 gray slabs situated close to the capital's Brandenburg Gate.

It opened to the public in 2005 and is freely accessible around the clock. Similar vandalism has occurred on several previous occasions.

"occasions" WTF kind of word is that?

EUROPE EMBRACES EVIL AGAIN

A jihadi throws a shoe near the Downing Street residence of Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown today at a huge protest against the Jews

Europe_jew_hate
It is hard to believe that while Shoah victims and holocaust survivors still walk among us, that we would witness an evil so severe and grotesque that it would make the rhetoric of the Third Reich look mild.
Yes, the Nazis killed millions -- that was the obvious monstrous result of their campaign.
We have not yet witnessed the "final solution" of Islamic jihad -- but there are incontrovertible facts that are blinding. The Nazis hid their crimes. The Nazis pretended to be doing one thing while subversively carrying out its "extermination" of Jews,  gypsies, "undesirables", etc. They engaged in rhetoric and obfuscation.

This time is different. The Muslims are not engaging in rhetoric. They are not pretending. They want the Jews dead and they exult in their wild screams of blood lust. Such joy, such happiness at their Jew hating chants from a joyless people.
The Germans went to war, conquered countries and with the help of those weak governments and people annihilated the Jews. The Holocaust was a German initiative subsequently carried out by every nation the Nazis conquered in Europe, with the exception of Denmark.
It's not a national initiative this time. It's global........... a wave of evil has washed over this earth like a veritable tsunami and it has colored everything.

I expect this barbarity and Jew hatred from the Arab/Islamic world. It's what they do and what they have always done.

But what was the lesson that Europe learned after the holocaust? It was not that evil is bad and that they behaved like monsters, but, as Caroline Glick said in our interview, that " rather that everything was caused by nationalism and therefore what we really need to do is have a European Union that will obviate our need for nationalism so that we can become this transnational gobbletygook and we'll all get together and therefore we won't have another Auschwitz". But really the lesson the Europeans should have been is that "we were evil and we have to be good. And that is the lesson we have to learn and and we have to be able and willing to make moral distinctions and stand up for the good and fight evil and that is something the Europeans refuse to do."

Once again Europe chooses to embrace madness and evil as its central unifying characteristic. And this time England is leading the way.

I believe good will triumph over such overwhelming odds and numbers. I know it in my bones, but one has to look at the global landscape and say, at what cost?

Paris_burning

Paris

In Paris, police said more than 20,000 demonstrators, many wearing Palestinian keffiyeh headscarves, marched through the city center chanting slogans like "Israel murderer!" and waving banners demanding an end to the air attacks.

Nidra Poller is a rare bird in Paris - a "reliable witness". Here is her account of the pro jihadi, annihilationist rally in Paris. I must ask her if Jews stayed shuttered in their homes, afraid to leave for fear of the savages .....

Nidra Poller reporting from Place de la République, Paris, 3 PM

Huge turnout for this afternoon’s pro-Palestinian demonstration. People pour out of the metro stations and march into the Place de la République, bundled up against the cold, knotting keffiehs around their shoulders as they walk briskly to join the compact crowd. Raucous voices shouting “Israël assassin.” Palestinian flags flutter. Families with children, men and women of all ages, very very few infidels. When these mass demonstrations began in October 2000, the proportions were reversed: many leftists, so-called pacifists, and a sprinkling of Arab-Muslims. And the rallying cry was “Death to the Jews.”

Two infidels timidly waving blue and white peace flags huddle near a metro exit looking hesitant. 

Nous sommes tous Palestiniens” “Palestine vaincra, Palestine vivra” “Halte au massacre” …the usual stuff. And all those keffiehs.

The square trembles with hate-filled violence-prone voices, and the flow of demonstrators never ends. Take a good look: these are the moderates. Huh? The moderates? Yeah, the moderates. Don’t they always tell us the majority of Muslims in Paris, London, Alexandria VA, and the world are moderates? Well here they are.

A dark skinned white haired chap with the airs of a European intellectual, a red keffieh wrapped around his neck, chats with a woman by his side. They look like they are waiting for friends to join them. I hear him say “assassins,” and I know he isn’t talking about Hamas.

It doesn’t look like the demonstration is going to follow the traditional République-Bastille route. Either they are going to stay put and shout their lungs out, or maybe they’ll march down the Grands Boulevards?

Anyway, it’s no place for a little Jewish grandmother. I’ve seen enough. I walk south and in five minutes I’m out of the Arab quarter and back in the ville européenne where life goes on as normal. Back home, I check out the media. What do they have to say about this madding crowd?

Guess what? They have nothing to say. If you didn’t see it with your own eyes you wouldn’t know it existed. There’ll be a few brief shots on the evening news. A family with kids, a pretty young lady, a few talking points—massacre of civilians, blockade, humanitarian crisis, starvation. You’d think that all those French journalists frustrated at not being able to mill around Gaza and report directly on Israeli atrocities didn’t take the opportunity to immerse themselves in Gaza at la République. Snuggled into that mass of dense anger, surrounded on all sides by “youths” in keffieh, they could have a try at yelling “ceasefire” in a crowded pro-jihad mob.

Update 10 PM Nidra Poller

You have to scratch around in the dusty soil to get a few kernels of information in this country. After watching 3 newscasts and checking out the major daily’s websites, here is what I got:

There were about 21,000 demonstrators and the atmosphere was tense. As a matter of fact, there was not much in the way of newswoman-in-the-midst interviews. Like I said, they claim they want to get into Gaza to bear witness to all that humanitarian crisis, but they don’t have the courage to dive into a keffieh-clad crowd.  Le Parisien, which is the only paper that really covered the event, claims it was organized by the Collectif national pour une paix juste entre Palestiniens et Israéliens, which includes the MRAP, PCF, LCR, and some labor unions. I have no proof to the contrary but I don’t believe it anyway. Having seen hundreds of demonstrations in Paris, I can attest that this one looked like it was organized by the Paris branch of Hamas.

Two extreme-left personalities marched in front like the good old days. Communist (PCF) party leader Marie-George Buffet declared: “We must stop this attack against Gaza and go back to negotiations on the basis of the 1967 frontiers [sic…it’s the ceasefire line, madame]. Olivier Besancenot (Nouveau Parti Anticapitaliste, ex-LCR) said French public opinion  is not represented by Sarkozy, who rolled out the red carpet for Israeli officials [Tzipi Livni paid a visit to politely decline the ceasefire proposal].

At 6 PM, a group of two to three hundred heading for the Israeli embassy were blocked by police. They went wild, threw café chairs at the policemen, smashed telephone booths and shop windows, overturned and burned cars. The battle raged for an hour. “At least 3 people,” reports le Parisien, “were arrested.” How’s that for a law & order ratio?

In a private communication from J.S., an envoy reports:

When we got there at 3 PM the square on the side leading to the Grands Boulevards was already packed. We walked all the way down to Porte Saint-Martin. The demonstrators marched in tight rows in the street and spilling over onto the sidewalk, most of them wearing keffiehs, many women in different degrees of hijab.. 

Shouting their hatred of Israel that kills children, starves Palestinians. Up with the résistance, down with Sarkozy, Moubarak, and the media.

A  crowd filled with hate that filled us with fear. Most of them were young.

Groups prostrate in prayer on the sidewalk.

Slogans shouted through megaphones, chanted by the crowd. Photos of children, a bloodied doll, a flag burning…

When we left at 4 PM, people were still joining the march.

It was so frightening, that dense crowd shouting and screaming, just like the crowds we see on TV !

Pro-Israel vs. Pro-Palestine Protests in Chicago

A very large Pro-Palestine protest was mounted in Chicago today, with participants being bused in from other cities and states (we heard one organizer gathering people who “were on the bus from Milwaukee”). Jake covered a similar but much smaller protest earlier in the week.

Today was definitely the main event — the Hamas supporters gathered in front of Chicago’s famous Tribune Building, then marched across the Chicago River and around the corner to the Israeli Consulate. A good-sized crowd was already in place across the street to offer their support for Israel.

We wandered around in both crowds taking pics and video for a while. We had our press ID badges on, but were still told we had to “choose a side” when the loonies got ready to begin their march to the Israeli consulate. The police hustled us off behind their barricades post haste…just in case you were wondering if bloggers are still largely considered to be “second class journalists” — the answer is YES!

Jake will have video up after a while. Until then, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, for the most part, and keep my witty commentary to a minimum.

Gaza: Gang on rampage in Golders Green The Jewish Chronicle

A gang of pro-Palestinian demonstrators rampaged through the heart of the Jewish community on Wednesday evening, attacking businesses and assaulting a motorist.

Police and the CST have increased patrols and security following the incidents in Golders Green, North-West London, amid concerns of further trouble during Shabbat.

The group of around 15 men had been demonstrating in support of Palestinians in Gaza but then made their way along Golders Green Road, attacking the man as he got into his car.

They attempted to gain access to a number of kosher restaurants and Jewish businesses, and at one point entered Solly’s restaurant, but were thrown out by staff and diners.

Despite officers arriving in the area quickly, the gang was able to escape on the Tube.

Acting Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Tucker, acting borough commander of Barnet police, said: “We were aware that the activity in Gaza was going to have an impact on antisemitism because of our very large Jewish population in Barnet.

“We have liaised with the CST in advance to make sure our response is joined up.

We will not tolerate any incidents of antisemitism and will investigate any allegations robustly.

Holding my breath.

“People have a legitimate right to demonstrate but that cannot be a front for antisemitism or any other type of crime.”

A CST spokesman said: “The gang-related incident in Golders Green is extremely troubling.

Ayn Rand at 100: "Yours is the Glory"

  • Aynrandstamp_1

  • Speaking to the unnamed, unchampioned, beating heart of her new land, Ayn was to say: 'Yours is the glory.'"
    A man whose ability and independence leads others to reject him, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. Man as an individual, as a creator. What's the most depraved type of human being? Not a sadist or a murderer or a sex maniac or a dictator; "The man without a purpose." Yet most people seem to go through their lives without a clearly defined purpose.


Barter


  • Life has Loveliness to sell,
    All beautiful and splendid things,
    Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
    Soaring fires that sways and swing,
    And children's faces looking up,
    Holding wonder like a cup

    Life has Loveliness to sell,
    Music like a curve of Gold,
    Scent of pinetrees in the rain,
    Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
    And for your spirit's still delight,
    Holy stars that star the night.

    Spend all you have for loveliness,
    Buy it and never count the cost;
    For one white singing hour of Peace
    Count many a year of strife well lost
    And for a breath of ecstasy
    Give all you have been, or could be.
