2,000 strong Weak

Eric Shawn is reporting that today's Anti-Ahmadinejad (boycotted) rally drew 2,000 (and that was with the Jewish day schools in attendance). They made spin it but the numbers do not lie.

Last year, I reported in my anti-Ahmadinejad post that CBS reported 25,000 attended.

In 2006, I  reported the number was 40,000.

The boycott had an effect. Good! Be there Thursday.

Imagine if Palin was there. If she could draw 60,000 in Florida with no poison dwarf, no bread and circuses, or  greek columns. Imagine if  .....

In his speech, Wiesel advised the Iranian leader to "go home and stay home," saying that his place was not at the UN, but rather, at the international war crimes tribunal, where he should be tried for crimes against humanity. Wiesel slammed Ahmadinejad for repeatedly calling for Israel's extermination and for preaching hatred and nuclear destruction. (More at Ynet News)

ANTI-IRAN RALLY: THE SPEECH PALIN WOULD HAVE GIVEN

The New York Sun, the world's best newspaper, has published the speech Sarah Plain would have given at the anti-Ahamadinejad rally today at the UN. I'd say the leftard Jews shot themselves in the foot, but they have no feet left:

PALIN ON AHMADINEJAD: "HE MUST BE STOPPED" NY Sun hat tip Atlas readers

Governor Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president, was scheduled to speak today at a rally in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza to protest the appearance here of President Ahmadinejad of Iran. Her appearance was canceled by rally organizers who sought a nonpolitical event. Following are the remarks Mrs. Palin would have given:

I am honored to be with you and with leaders from across this great country — leaders from different faiths and political parties united in a single voice of outrage.

Tomorrow, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will come to New York — to the heart of what he calls the Great Satan — and speak freely in this, a country whose demise he has called for.

Ahmadinejad may choose his words carefully, but underneath all of the rhetoric is an agenda that threatens all who seek a safer and freer world. We gather here today to highlight the Iranian dictator's intentions and to call for action to thwart him.

He must be stopped.

The world must awake to the threat this man poses to all of us. Ahmadinejad denies that the Holocaust ever took place. He dreams of being an agent in a "Final Solution" — the elimination of the Jewish people. He has called Israel a "stinking corpse" that is "on its way to annihilation." Such talk cannot be dismissed as the ravings of a madman — not when Iran just this summer tested long-range Shahab-3 missiles capable of striking Tel Aviv, not when the Iranian nuclear program is nearing completion, and not when Iran sponsors terrorists that threaten and kill innocent people around the world.

The Iranian government wants nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that Iran is running at least 3,800 centrifuges and that its uranium enrichment capacity is rapidly improving. According to news reports, U.S. intelligence agencies believe the Iranians may have enough nuclear material to produce a bomb within a year.

The world has condemned these activities. The United Nations Security Council has demanded that Iran suspend its illegal nuclear enrichment activities. It has levied three rounds of sanctions. How has Ahmadinejad responded? With the declaration that the "Iranian nation would not retreat one iota" from its nuclear program.

So, what should we do about this growing threat? First, we must succeed in Iraq. If we fail there, it will jeopardize the democracy the Iraqis have worked so hard to build, and empower the extremists in neighboring Iran. Iran has armed and trained terrorists who have killed our soldiers in Iraq, and it is Iran that would benefit from an American defeat in Iraq.

If we retreat without leaving a stable Iraq, Iran's nuclear ambitions will be bolstered. If Iran acquires nuclear weapons — they could share them tomorrow with the terrorists they finance, arm, and train today. Iranian nuclear weapons would set off a dangerous regional nuclear arms race that would make all of us less safe.

But Iran is not only a regional threat; it threatens the entire world. It is the no. 1 state sponsor of terrorism. It sponsors the world's most vicious terrorist groups, Hamas and Hezbollah. Together, Iran and its terrorists are responsible for the deaths of Americans in Lebanon in the 1980s, in Saudi Arabia in the 1990s, and in Iraq today. They have murdered Iraqis, Lebanese, Palestinians, and other Muslims who have resisted Iran's desire to dominate the region. They have persecuted countless people simply because they are Jewish.

Iran is responsible for attacks not only on Israelis, but on Jews living as far away as Argentina. Anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial are part of Iran's official ideology and murder is part of its official policy. Not even Iranian citizens are safe from their government's threat to those who want to live, work, and worship in peace. Politically-motivated abductions, torture, death by stoning, flogging, and amputations are just some of its state-sanctioned punishments.

It is said that the measure of a country is the treatment of its most vulnerable citizens. By that standard, the Iranian government is both oppressive and barbaric. Under Ahmadinejad's rule, Iranian women are some of the most vulnerable citizens.

If an Iranian woman shows too much hair in public, she risks being beaten or killed.

If she walks down a public street in clothing that violates the state dress code, she could be arrested.

But in the face of this harsh regime, the Iranian women have shown courage. Despite threats to their lives and their families, Iranian women have sought better treatment through the "One Million Signatures Campaign Demanding Changes to Discriminatory Laws." The authorities have reacted with predictable barbarism. Last year, women's rights activist Delaram Ali was sentenced to 20 lashes and 10 months in prison for committing the crime of "propaganda against the system." After international protests, the judiciary reduced her sentence to "only" 10 lashes and 36 months in prison and then temporarily suspended her sentence. She still faces the threat of imprisonment.

Earlier this year, Senator Clinton said that "Iran is seeking nuclear weapons, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is in the forefront of that" effort. Senator Clinton argued that part of our response must include stronger sanctions, including the designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization. John McCain and I could not agree more.

Senator Clinton understands the nature of this threat and what we must do to confront it. This is an issue that should unite all Americans. Iran should not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. Period. And in a single voice, we must be loud enough for the whole world to hear: Stop Iran!

Only by working together, across national, religious, and political differences, can we alter this regime's dangerous behavior. Iran has many vulnerabilities, including a regime weakened by sanctions and a population eager to embrace opportunities with the West. We must increase economic pressure to change Iran's behavior.

Tomorrow, Ahmadinejad will come to New York. On our soil, he will exercise the right of freedom of speech — a right he denies his own people. He will share his hateful agenda with the world. Our task is to focus the world on what can be done to stop him.

We must rally the world to press for truly tough sanctions at the U.N. or with our allies if Iran's allies continue to block action in the U.N. We must start with restrictions on Iran's refined petroleum imports.

We must reduce our dependency on foreign oil to weaken Iran's economic influence.

We must target the regime's assets abroad; bank accounts, investments, and trading partners.

President Ahmadinejad should be held accountable for inciting genocide, a crime under international law.

We must sanction Iran's Central Bank and the Revolutionary Guard Corps — which no one should doubt is a terrorist organization.

Together, we can stop Iran's nuclear program.

Senator McCain has made a solemn commitment that I strongly endorse: Never again will we risk another Holocaust. And this is not a wish, a request, or a plea to Israel's enemies. This is a promise that the United States and Israel will honor, against any enemy who cares to test us. It is John McCain's promise and it is my promise.

Thank you.

ANTI-IRAN RALLY JEWISH ORGANIZERS: MOHAMMAD OK TO SPEAK, PALIN NO!

UPDATE: Mohammed Razvi didn't give a speech. Not sure who canceled who but he was scheduled.

Palin can't speak against Ahmadinejad but Mohammed Razvi can?

Another nail in the coffin of Hoenlein. I undertand that Mohammad Razvi will be speaking at the Anti-Ahmadinejad rally (!). Razvi sits on the Muslim Consultative Network along with Dhabah Almontaser, the Islamist forced to resign as principal from the public school madrassa in Brooklyn, The Khalil Gibran International Academy. Almontaser advocated for "intifada' anfd subsequently sued the city (litigation jihad) and lost.

Other members who serve with Razvi include Wissam Nasr, the former CAIR New York director who now runs the oxymoronically named Islamic Institute of Human Rights and Adem [aka Adam] Carroll of ICNA who is the MCN board chairman.

From Pipeline News here:

The MCN works in tandem with radical Islamist groups with terrorism ties such as ICNA/MAS, ISNA, [unindicted co-conspirator] CAIR and the MSA and will doubtless wield their influence on KGIA.

Mohammed Habib, the deputy leader of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, in which he confirms the existence of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood and that there is a “relationship” between the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Egyptian Brotherhood (more here)

Mohammad Razvi [also an MCN board member] sensing an opportunity to promote Islamism, has become a vocal defender of KGIA, predictably he has announced that his 11 year-old son will be in attendance.

Razvi heads COPO [Council of Pakistan Organization/Council of People's Organization] which recently championed the case of an illegal alien taxi driver who is being deported after stating his opinion of President Bush, "he's an asshole. If I had a gun I'd shoot him."

On the criticism of KGIA and Almontaser Razvi states, "It's just outrageous…It is not fair for anyone to make such negative remarks because the school is going to be teaching Arabic as a language. She's a person who brings communities together and makes them understand and works on peace."

Presumably, Razvi's explanation that Almontaser "makes them understand" is a reference to her da'wa efforts. His statement to a reporter, that he thinks his group is under surveillance because of its activities, should come as no surprise.

Dhabah Almontaser (on cellphone in background) left (with eyes closed) is Mohammed Razvi of COPO the Council of Pakistani Organisations now renamed the Council of Peoples Organisation an ally of Almontaser. Razvi's organisation attempted to help a taxi driver avoid deportation who had said he wanted to kill President Bush. (more here).

BOYCOTT ANTI-IRAN RALLY, RALLY FOR HOENLEIN FIRING

I have attended the anti-Ahamdinejad rally for years now. I will not attend tomorrow.

The anti-Ahmadinejad rally always hosts any number of politicians. How can one effect change in public and foreign policy without the politicians? Politicians always appear but this is not a political rally.

I covered the rally here in 2006 with Hillary Clinton (yes, Hillary attends this rally, but pulled out this year), Livni, John Bolton, then Governor Pataki, Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, and Professor Alan Dershowitz among others (plenty of politicians).

In September 2007,  I covered the same rally. Check out my remarks from that rally (how ironic):

My issue with this rally is the Jewish lay leadership's stuck on stupid program with the same tired leftarded NY Democrat speakers. Even Anthony Weiner was there,  fresh off his march in the Islamists day parade,  Nadler, Menendez - that whole cast of dhimmis. They still don't get it.

So I was dancing - literally - when I heard that Palin had accepted an invitation to speak at the anti- Ahmadinejad rally. Pure joy. And  I was not alone. This is not just a Jewish issue - this is a free world issue and the veep contender speaking forcefully against jihad nukes was a gift from the universe. It would have sent a powerful message. Obama and the Democrats saw this and knew how weak they are on this issue - so they bullied the Jews into canceling a great American and friend to Israel. Jewish leadership caved. "Leaders" like Hoenlein will/can never get anything meaningful accomplished. His time is over.

Israel is in Iran's nuclear cross hairs. Full weaponization is either here or  imminent. We need real leadership and that is why Malcolm Hoinlein must go. He is old and tired and gutless. As  executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations since June 1986- it was his decision to make. Hoenlein has demonstrated he is not capable of leading the Jewish people as the world prepares for a second holocaust. Left wing politics of yesterday cause irreparable harm.

I am sure you heard that intense Pressure led To Palin UN Snub - [CBS 2 HD Has Learned Democrats Threatened To Attack Jewish Groups' Tax Exempt Status Over VP Nominee Invite]. I was told this too when I called to rail against this Jew hating move.

Are we  supposed to believe Hoenlien when he says he believed his tax status we seriously imperiled by the kapos of J Street and the NJDC (National Jewish Democrat Council)?  Who was he afraid of? Tax cheat and enforcer Rangel? Hoenlein caved to the  Soros created J Street (a "counter balance" to AIPAC)? Soros - an admitted Nazi during World War II is counter balancing AIPAC? Soros is back at it, rounding up Jews and their belongings.

Worse still, Malcolm deferred to the increasingly hostile to Israel and Jewish left. Obama is soft on Iran and jihad. He studied it through his youth and considers it "one of the prettiest sounds he has ever heard". Biden has been Ahmadinejad's ambassador to the Congress. He has stood in the way of any effective legislation. That's a fact.

No one took J Street seriously - until Hoenlein gave them cred. Hoenlein should have insisted that Palin  appear and pushed back. He should have insisted that Obama send someone to represent him or suffer the consequences of an empty chair. And Hoenlein damaged the reputations of the other Jewish organizations sponsoring the event. The Israel Group had the good sense to withdraw their support and their name from the rally.

Bottom line, if Obama gets in - tax threats will be on the bottom of the lists of things Jews will be worried about. And imagine the public relations disaster for Democrats if they went after the Jews. I mean, really. Hoenlein could have documented the threats and pulled them out if they made good on their threat. That's what a leader would have done. Hoenlein blew it and every freedom lover will pay.

I also heard the organizers of the rally didn't want the media frenzy that a Palin appearance might generate. Ha!I do the anti-ahmadinejad rally every year and every year the media ignores it. Palin would have brought the rally to the front of the  world media, something desperately needed.

I will not attend a rally who caves into dhimmi Jews. Attending the rally gives tacit support to a Jewicidal cave.

I would have spit on the Jewish councils, I spit on this.

I strongly urge you not to attend this rally. Hold Jewish leadership accountable!

The only good that can and should come of this is disaster is that Jews that have been blindly and deafly voting Democrat for decades hear about this and it shocks them - snaps them into reality. For the first time in history, the Jewish vote in New York is just 5 points behind the jihad candidate. I predict this will make a difference.

I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO ATTEND THE SEPTEMBER 25TH RALLY AT 5:30 PM AT THE HYATT TO PROTEST A DINNER HONORING AHMADINEJAD. DETAILS HERE.  The rally has a website - 925rally.org

Women United, the Jewish Action Alliance, Stand With Us, Center for Security Policy, the Catholic League, the Traditional Values Coalition, the Alliance of Iranian Women and over 20 other organizations of all faiths and political affiliations will hold an interfaith rally to counter this BETRAYAL, to protest Ahmadinejad’s presence at the United Nations, and to oppose Iran’s nuclear weapons program and outrageous threats against the USA and America’s ally, Israel. See the full list of participating organizations HERE , updated daily.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been invited to speak along with many other civic and religious leaders and politicians, both Democrats and Republicans.

Please join us at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, East 42nd St, near Lexington Ave and Grand Central Station in Manhattan, at 5:30pm.  PLAN EXTRA TRAVEL TIME because the large number of attendees will affect traffic near the event

Yid with lid is boycotting too. (We are the same piece of kishka)

Checck out this Atlas post from 2006: The Jews need New Leadership a/s/a/p

UPDATE: ED wrote, "The strategy and its implementation was Obama, Biden and the Dems with J-Street as their beard. This is J-Streets raison d'etre. They were formed in order to have a group of Jews who would challenge and undermine Jewish interests in the name of Jews. Jews who would rail against the so-called Jewish lobby, Jews who would undermine support for Israel and especially support for Israel as a Jewish state. It was to have a group of Jews who would sit comfortably, not talk too loudly and nod their heads in agreement when told to by the various Protestant churches and Democratic left groups. It was to have a Jewish group that would remain their allies as they promote their agendas for various boycotts and the divestment of Israeli assets. It was to have a Jewish group that would overtly reject the support of people actually wishing to support the Jews and the State of Israel.  It was to have a Jewish group to openly make war on the evangelicals. 

There are a lot of people who should be held accountable here. J-Street, Hillary Clinton and the Council of Presidents who have empowered J-Street most certainly need to be held accountable . But it is Obama who was the architect and it was Obama who came wearing a beard.  In apportioning responsibility this fact should not be obscured"

J Street = F U Street, NJDC = KAPO

The Jewidicals rejoice. "J Street" is a vile group that represents the a "jewish perspective" reflected by "jews" like Noam  Chomsky and NormanFinklestein. And while it has been denied, I believe this group is backed by Jew hating "jew" George Soros. He promised for some time the formation of a group to counter AIPAC. It is my opinion this is it. He is the black hand. MoveOn financier  Soros was on the record as an initial backer of the concept for the group and then  "pulled out of it". I don't buy it.
Among the Jew haters on their advisory council Arab funded Lincoln Chafee, Obama adviser Rob Malley, Air America moneyman Shelby Drobman

WE WON! PALIN NOT SPEAKING IRAN RALLY  J Street (hat tip S)

We collected over 20,000 signatures in 24 hours asking Iran Unity rally organizer Malcolm Hoenlein to take Sarah Palin off the schedule for Monday's rally, and he caved to our pressure on Thursday afternoon citing the fact that the rally had become too partisan.

This is the right decision.  A unity rally to express communal solidarity is no place for partisan politics.  And to give such prominence to Sarah Palin alone would have spoken neither to, nor for, the American Jewish community.

This is a victory not just for the 20,188 others who signed J Street's petition.  It's a victory for the broader community.  And we're pleased the rally's organizers came to their senses so quickly.

Victories like these don't come easily - or often. But when they do, we should savor them, at least briefly.

We'll be back at it tomorrow, because our next task is making sure that the messages at the rally reflect the view of a majority of Americans - Jewish and otherwise - that the best way to deal with Iran is through tough, smart diplomacy - not saber rattling and threats of force.

The Democraps have a lot to answer for.

NJDC Commends the Withdrawal of Palin’s Invitation to the Iran Rally |

Yesterday, NJDC said that Monday’s protest against Ahmadinejad was too important to be tainted by partisanship. Today, NJDC commends the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, the National Coalition to Stop Iran Now, The Israel Project, United Jewish Communities, the UJA-Federation of New York and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs for making the right decision by withdrawing their invitation to Governor Sarah Palin.

Great comment from Michele, "Obama wants to meet unconditionally with Ahmadinejad, but the Democrats won't attend a rally with Sarah Palin. Now they understand how a public meeting can legitimize their adversary. The rally organizers, Barak Obama and the Democratic party have made this protest into a George Soros wet dream. J Street triumphs and ascends as a major mainstream Jewish group which is a sub-text of this whole thing. They have been accredited. They come away from this greatly empowered by the event organizers. This has obviously also been an Obama and Biden goal to disempower the so-called "Jewish Lobby" by supporting a Jewish group. Soros has made this possible.  Biden has been quite clear in his comments on the Jewish Lobby. This is the real life application of Mersheimer and Walt's writings. The organizers of this event through their lack of courage have done a great disservice to the Jewish community and the cause they supposedly avow. I know people who were going to but will now not attend, what a shame.  This rally, while it should still go forward, is tainted to say the least.   "

UPDATE: The Israel Project has removed its support for the Rally which disinvited Palin. The only rally in NY they are participating in is the one on the 25th

ZOA has issued this statement - Baruch Hashem!

The following statement is from Morton A. Klein, national president of the Zionist Organization of America.                        

"The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) strongly opposes the disinvitation of Vice-Presidential candidate Governor Sarah Palin to be one of many speakers at a "stop Iran from gaining nuclear weapons rally."  This rally will also protest the presence of Iran's president Ahmadinejad at the United Nations on Monday, September 22. This is an anti-Iran rally, not a partisan political rally, as Democratic Senator Hilary Clinton was invited as was vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden and later Democratic Congressman Robert Wexler of Florida.  Clinton withdrew and Biden apparently couldn’t attend.                             

  "Under tremendous pressure from Jewish Democrats and liberal Jewish groups, Palin's invitation was withdrawn with a decision made not to include any politicians. Why are we excluding political leaders who have the real power to act on this critical issue?  The ZOA believes this was a serious mistake.

“This was not a political rally for any party or individual. All Democrats and Republicans are united against Ahmadinejad developing nuclear weapons which he indicated he would use "to wipe Israel and America off the map." We thought that one of the themes of Democrats this year was “promoting unity” and “bringing people together.”  Well, here was an opportunity to do just that on an issue we can all support and certain groups and interests have caused us to fail.  The ZOA is so disappointed by this unnecessary and harmful outcome.  

"At this rally, there would be no implied or explicit endorsement of any candidate or party, only a unified condemnation of Ahmadinejad.  No one was going to speak about politics, only about loving America and Israel, and fighting Iran, and standing up to evil.    

"The ZOA deeply regrets that certain Jewish groups and individuals believed the inadvertent benefit that would accrue to Sarah Palin outweighed the enormous benefit that Israel and the United States would receive when a Vice-Presidential candidate and others give visibility and power to this life and death issue.

“It seems for these people politics and their personal political agenda were more important than Israel and America's security. This wrong-headed action of cancelling the appearance of major political leaders hurt Israel and the United States.  Ahmadinejad must be delighted that those who oppose his policies are so divided they can’t even stand on the same stage to condemn him.  I assure you, if we were holding a rally to condemn an internationally-known racist, anti-Black leader, no one would dare disinvite a speaker and no speaker would dare back out.  

"The ZOA strongly urges that Sarah Palin be reinvited along with any other key Democratic or Republican leaders. 

“Otherwise, this will become a day of shame and humiliation for the Jewish people instead of a day of Jewish pride, strength, courage, and will.  On this day, we should have put aside all other political interests and together fight against this existential threat against Israel and major threat to the United States and the entire western world.”

DEMOCRAT JEWICIDALS FIGHT TO DISINVITE PALIN TO ANTI-AHMADINEJAD RALLY UPDATE: PALIN DISINVITED, KAPOS WIN!

IF SARAH IS NOT WELCOME, NEITHER AM I. I AM NOT ATTENDING. BUT I STRONGLY SUPPORT THIS RALLY ON THURSDAY 9/25!

UPDATE 4pm: The Israel Project has removed its support for the Rally which disinvited Palin. The only rally in NY  they are participating in is the one on the 25th 

UPDATE; 9/19 2:32PM: The rally I am attending has invited Palin!

 Women United has extended an invitation Governor Sarah Palin, among others, to address a press conference and rally to "Stop Ahmadinejad", taking place in front of the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City on Thursday, September 25th protesting a meeting being held at the hotel between Iran's President Ahmadinejad and various organizations wishing to open up with him a dialogue and who appear thereby to be providing tacit legitimacy to the Iranian president's policies.

UPDATE: BIDEN TOLD ISRAEL: Joe Biden, told "senior Israeli officials behind closed doors that the Jewish state will have to reconcile itself to a nuclear Iran."

UPDATE 10:40pm: I'll be discussing this act of Jewish dhimmitude and submission on my radio sh0w tonight at 11pm on KFNX (listen here).

UPDATE 7:20 PM: Biden’s Refusal to Appear At Iran Protest Caused the Disinvitation of Palin

UPDATE 7 pm: The real question is all this, why didn''t Obama send anyone to represent him at the Anti-Ahmadinejad rally? WHY IS NO ONE THERE FOR OBAMA? Did he not want to piss off the Hitler wannabee? Is he pandering to his widespread support in the Muslim world or his 22% lead over McCain among Muslim Americans?

UPDATE 4:20pm: PALIN UNINVITED! CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! This is an outrage! Ahamdinejad said AGAIN today that Israel would not survive in any form.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference ahead of his visit to New York, Ahmadinejad also repeated previous anti-Israel comments, calling the Holocaust by Nazi Germany a "fake."

The Iranian President stated that the Jewish state wouldn't survive in any form.

He smirked at a former mantra of the Israeli right of a "Greater" Israel that would include occupied Palestinian territories, saying that while "some say the idea of Greater Israel has expired, I say the idea of a Lesser Israel has expired, too."(more here)

Who do these Jewish organizations represent? They exist for one reason and one reason only, to fight for the survival of the Jewish people. The rest is window dressing. How dare they. I AM LIVID. I am on the phones now. Do the same and withdraw your pledges for these orgs.

*********************************************************************************

David wrote to tell me, those debased leftard Jews (they will be the death of us all) over at the the DNC are calling in their markers and leaning very hard on Monday's Anti-Iran Rally organizers and sympathetic local rabbis to dis-invite Alaska Governor Sarah Palin from speaking at the event. The reason: her presence makes it a "partisan" event. One Northern NJ rabbi (who will remain anonymous) is really stinking it up with the Jewish Press. Look for an article about it very soon.

The bottom line is Hillary canceled her appearance at the anti-Ahmadinejad rally. She made the decision not to appear, she made it a partisan issue. Perhaps it was deliberate to try to force the organizers to cancel Palin ()Hillary Clinton Pulls Out of Pro-Israel Rally After Learning Sarah Palin will be there (US NEWS WORLD REPORT ...

What was Hillary doing? Clinton is more concerned with partisanship than with the danger Iran poses, and she has destroyed the united front against Ahmadinejad.

Palin's appearance is a gift to the Jews. I WISH TO UNEQUICVOCALLY STATE THAT IT WOULD BE POLITICAL SUICIDE TO UNIVITE PALIN and we will not take it sitting down. I will urge every Jew to stop donating to these orgs of they uninivite Palin. Dear G-d, we need all the friends we can get. Lord knows how close we are to electing a president aligned with the jihad (BHO). 

These leftartd Jews are reminiscent of the American Jews during World War II like Stephen Wise that were complicit in their silence about the holocaust. Fuck that! Never again and these Jewicidals will not be tolerated. The fact is for the first time in recent history JEWISH NEW YORKERS are leaning right.

  Evidence That Jewish Vote is Shifting to McCain (yid with lid)

Yesterday a Poll from Sienna College was released showing that McCain was gaining on Obama in NY State. The most astounding part of the Poll was the Jewish Vote that represents about 12% of the total in NY is supporting McCain by a 54% to 32% margin. This is a MAJOR shift that if duplicated nationally can help move Key states including NJ and Pennsylvania to the McCain corner.

CONTACT THE ORGANIZERS AND LET THEM KNOW!

Call, email etc. demand that they do not pull Governor Palin from the speakers list:

A Race Against Death: Peter Bergson, America and the Holocaust David S. Wyman and Rafael Medoff.

This is a chilling account of U.S. indifference to the plight of European Jews during WWII, of how government officials not only failed to act but thwarted the efforts of those who tried.Ê Had Peter Bergson, representing Ze'ev Jabotinsky's Revisionist Zionists in America, received government support for his plans to rescue Hitler's Jewish victims, many more might have been saved and his name might have been as well known as those of Oskar Schindler and Raoul Wallenberg. 

But as Wyman (The Abandonment of the Jews) and Medoff (The Deafening Silence: American Jewish Leaders and the Holocaust) make clear in this simple but potent volume, Bergson's dogged efforts--advertisements in the New York Times, lobbying in Washington, a star-studded pageant called "We Will Never Die" that toured the country--were crippled in large part not only by Roosevelt's administration but by the leaders of the established American Jewish community.

Yid with lid is blogging this too

More from the poison Hitler dwarf:

Earlier on Thursday, the Iranian president downplayed the possibility of an IAF strike against Iran.

"Israel is in a weak position to launch attacks against any other country," he was quoted by Press TV as saying.

UPDATE: From Dan Freidman,

The organizers of the anti-Iran rally near the UN on Monday have decided not to allow Sarah Palin to speak. The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the direct descendants of the court Jews who opted to protect their seats at court during the Holocaust rather than extend themselves one inch to save European Jewry - and instead actively opposed rescue efforts by other Jewish Americans - are still in the same cowardly, cringing mode. And if you go down the list, they are almost without exception liberal Democrats who support Obama. Little wonder that a Democrat who embraced Suha Arafat is kosher but a powerful Republican ally of Israel, and the next Vice President of the United States, is treif.

Under the circumstances, attending their event on Monday amounts to tacit approval of the Conference's leftwing bias and congenital timidity. Make your own decision, but I won't allow myself to be duped that way.

UPDATE: MCCAIN'S STATEMENT ON THE DISINVITE:

Throughout my political career, I have sought to rise above partisanship on critical national issues. Nowhere is this more true than on important matters of national security. Earlier this year, Senator Clinton, Senator Obama and I issued a joint statement on the genocide in Darfur and pledged to support efforts to bring it to an end. Earlier this month, Senator Obama and I put the campaign aside to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on our country and talk about the importance of national service.

Next Monday, the day before Iranian President Ahmadinejad is to speak before the United Nations General Assembly, several organizations will sponsor an event to draw attention to the importance of halting Iran’s efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. Governor Palin and I share a strong belief that a nuclear armed Iran poses a grave threat to the security of Americans and to our allies. Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The risk that Iran would provide terrorists with a nuclear weapon is too great for the world to ignore. Iranian President Ahmadinejad has denied the Holocaust occurred and called Israel a ’stinking corpse.’ A nuclear-armed Iran would destabilize the entire region.

Preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons should be a shared goal of every American, not another occasion for partisan posturing.

Governor Palin was pleased to accept an invitation to address this rally and show her resolve on this grave national security issue, regrettably that invitation has since been withdrawn under pressure from Democratic partisans. We stand shoulder to shoulder with Republicans, Democrats and independents alike to oppose Ahmadinejad’s goal of a nuclear armed Iran. Senator Obama’s campaign had the opportunity to join us. Senator Obama chose politics rather than the national interest.

JEWISH DEMOCRATS MAKE ME SICK: THE KAPOS OF THE 21ST CENTURY

I can only equate the Jews clinging  to the antisemtic, anti-Zionist Democrat party with Blacks clinging to the notoriously racist Democrat party. It defies all logic.

Check this Jewicidal rant from that horrible little man, Ira Forman. Can't this little dick be excommunicated?

While the religious right is happy with the selection of Governor Sarah Palin, the Jewish community is not.

LIE! WE LOVE HER KAPO FORMAN!~

As The Palm Beach Post noted this week with Palin’s “socially conservative views and absence of any record on Israel, Palin remains a question mark for many Jewish voters.”

CITING LEFTARD MEDIA -

NJDC continues to expose Palin’s extremist positions:

- Palin supports teaching creationism in our public schools. 1

- Palin has an extreme position against reproductive rights including being against abortion even in cases of rape and incest. 2

- As mayor of Wasilla, AK, Palin asked the librarian about having books banned in the public library and subsequently fired the librarian who reacted negatively to the idea because she was not "loyal." 3

- Palin believes that climate change is not man made. 4

ALL LIES! REFUTED HERE  - DEBUNKED AND WIDELY CIRCULATED.

With these views, Palin is clearly out of step with the vast majority of the American Jewish community.

No Forman, YOU are clearly out of step with Jewish values and the existential threat to Israel, you leftist tool.

We need to get out the facts to Jewish voters.

To outreach to Jewish voters in this critical election year, NJDC must expand our work throughout the country where the Jewish vote can make a difference! 

With the election now less than 55 days away, we still need your help to raise significant funds tonight by midnight to expand our outreach plans.

You might as well send a check to the Nazi party. Same difference.

[In]Sincerely,

Ira N. Forman

The Double Standards of American Jews Melanie Phillips

To judge from the screams of horror from certain Jewish quarters, anyone would think that Torquemada was about to open a branch of the Inquisition in Washington DC.

No matter that the office of Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin has been shown to have an Israeli flag stuck in the corner (ok, it could be a bigger flag — but hey, this is Alaska).

No matter that the Chabad organiser for Alaska, Rabbi Josef Greenberg, has praised Palin as a steadfast supporter of Israel and the Jews. No matter that her presidential running-mate John McCain is fervently pro-Israel.

No, this cuts no ice with Marc R Stanley, chairman of the National Jewish Democratic Council, for whom Sarah Palin is a threat. Why? Well, he foamed in the Jerusalem Post, she has never even been to Israel! She has absolutely zero foreign policy experience!

So what? Barack Obama has been to Israel only twice, the first time two years ago as a rookie senator and the second two months ago — to counter claims that he had zero foreign policy experience, a fact that became painfully obvious from the gaffes he made on that trip.

The next Palin crime in the eyes of her Jewish critics is that she’s an evangelical Christian. Now this, it seems, is a real stinker of a crime. It turns her, apparently, into what one Guardian writer described as ‘the Jews’ worst nightmare’. Some people might think that others have a superior claim to that title. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, for example. Maybe even the Guardian itself.

But no, the honour goes to the woman with the Israel flag in her office. That’s because — as so many American Jews believe –evangelical Christians only support Israel because they believe it will bring about the end of days and the return of Christ to earth, at which point the Jews will all convert to Christianity.

Well, I don’t know about you but I’ll take my own chances on that one.

Yeah, me too. They are Israel's best friend - keep dissing them while kissing the ass of the jihad.

It remains the case that (apart from the fact that only some of them believe this end of days stuff anyway) evangelical Christians are among the most fervent supporters of Israel — more so, indeed, than many Jews. If it wasn’t for this passionate endorsement by such a large chunk of the American public, it is doubtful whether successive American presidents would themselves support Israel as much as they do.

But look, scream Palin’s detractors: Palin actually sat in church while a preacher, David Brickner, claimed that terrorist attacks on Israelis constituted God’s ‘judgment of unbelief’ upon Jews who hadn’t embraced Christianity. This is held to be as damaging for her as Obama’s pastor Jeremiah Wright, who supports the Jew-hating Louis Farrakhan, his black supremacist Nation of Islam and Hamas, was for him.

But Brickner runs ‘Jews for Jesus’. Yes, that is a despicable organisation. Yes, it is troubling that he preached in Sarah Palin’s church. But he was a one-off visiting preacher. To equate that with Obama’s 20-year membership of a black power-supporting church and his close relationship during that entire period with a mentor who supports Louis Farrakhan is clearly preposterous.

Yet American Jews appear to have airbrushed all such questions about Obama out of the picture. Leaping instantly to denounce Sarah Palin, they are silent on Obama’s church, his pastor and assorted members of his staff who belonged to the Nation of Islam.

They are silent on his observation that ‘Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people’. They are silent on the fact that virtually every prominent member of his foreign policy team (with the exception of the recently arrived Dennis Ross) is hostile to Israel.

Stanley further claims that Palin ‘lavished praise’ on the American anti-Israel maverick Ron Paul and that there is ‘controversy’ over whether she supported the even more anti-Israel Pat Buchanan. But she had merely praised Paul’s ‘independence’ at the end of an interview on energy policy; and the McCain camp has denied she ever supported Buchanan.

Is it not perverse to hype up such thin evidence to condemn Sarah Palin for attitudes towards Israel while ignoring the vastly more serious questions about Obama on this score?

The real reason, I suspect, probably has more to do with issues rather closer to home. As Stanley complained, Palin was ‘against reproductive freedom’, didn’t believe that climate change was man-made and was said to think that ‘creationism’ — the belief that the world was literally created in six days — should be taught in state-run schools. As a result Palin was ‘totally out of step’ with American Jewish public opinion.

So the real issue isn’t Israel at all. It’s the self-image of American Jews as social liberals — which means they would vote for Caligula’s horse if it ran on the Democratic ticket.

Double standards, anyone?

CONDI GO HOME, TAKE OLMERDE - 200 TERRORISTS RELEASED TO CELEBRATE CONDI'S ARRIVAL

Olmert continues to commit acts of perfidy in his illegal occupation of the office of Prime Minister in Israel. Today he released close to 200  Jew killers into the general population to commit murder and mayhem. This in the name of the piss process. Snapped Shot has the media's ass kissing coverage of the release of the killers "kissing their mothers" - cheerleading the terrorists. No mention of the bereaved families of the victims.

According to an informal estimate by Israeli security bodies, about 50 percent of the terrorists freed for any reason whatsoever returned to the path of terror, either as a perpetrator, a planner, or as an accomplice. In the terror acts committed by these freed terrorists, hundreds of Israelis were murdered, and thousands were wounded.(more here)

Clearly, the release of Jew killers was timed to coincide with the arrival of the Grand Dhimmi and hatchet man for Islamic jihad, Condi Rice. Ghastly. This is her ninth visit in seven months. Exhausting. Why, in heaven's name isn't she pursuing the removal of Iran's nukes  or the NORK's nukes or a Russian pushback with such vigor and enthusiasm. You draw your own conclusion.

Condi, in her relentless pursuit of a bloody fantasy, believes she can satiate the blood lust of Islamic jihad with the subjugation of the Jews.  Dismantling Israel,  stronging arm the Jews into submission will acheive the opposite goal - it wil empower and embolden the growing imperialism of Islamic supremacy. Terrible, all of it.

ISRAEL RELEASES 198 "PALESTINIAN" PRISONERS Telegraph hat tip van

Israel releases 198 Palestinian prisoners in effort to boost peace process Israel has freed almost 200 jailed Palestinians — including a militant mastermind from the 1970s who became the state's longest serving Palestinian prisoner — in a goodwill gesture just hours before US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visits the region.

The prisoners arrived in Ramallah after being released by prison guards at an Israeli military checkpoint near Jerusalem. The prisoners, some waving black-and-white checkered keffiyeh headdresses as they stepped off Israeli buses, kissed the ground before boarding Palestinian vehicles.

Israel said the release was designed to bolster President Mahmoud Abbas and his western-leaning administration and give a boost to the slow-moving peace talks with the moderate Palestinian leader.

Government spokesman Mark Regev said: "It's not easy for Israel to release prisoners. Some of the individuals being released today are guilty of direct involvement in the murder of innocent civilians.

"But we understand the importance of the prisoner issue for Palestinian society...We believe this action can support the negotiation process and create goodwill."

PM Olmert pushing for deal with Palestinians to impose on Israel

Dr. Aaron Lerner                  Date: 22 August 2008

Maariv correspondent Ben Caspit reports in today's edition that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is pushing hard to reach a deal with PA head Mahmoud Abbas before he leaves office.  American businessman Daniel Abram recently met with Abbas a number of times to encourage Abbas to reach an agreement with Olmert.

According to Caspit, Olmert tells his circle that if he reaches a deal with Abbas "the president of the United States will adopt the wording, the world with adopt it, the European Union, also the Arab world.  We can tell the Israeli People that this is what can be achieved after long years of negotiations and the Nation will decide."

Put another way:  Olmert intends to create a situation according to which the Israeli public will be put in the situation that rejection of the deal means rejection of a plan already embraced by the entire world - with all the consequences.

Al Qaeda's Influence Grows in Israel; Israeli Bedouin IndictedA Bedouin from Be'er Sheva was indicted for plotting a suicide attack with the help of Al Qaeda, as the terror group's influence grows in Israel.

Al-Qaeda Affiliate - Jaish al-Islam - Receives Formal Sanctuary in Hamas-Ruled Gaza (Lt. Col. (res.) Jonathan Dahoah Halev)  

Except for Fatah, the other Palestinian terror organizations in Gaza enjoy full freedom of movement under Hamas rule. Offshoots of Al-Qaeda in Gaza include Jaish al-Islam (the Army of Islam), the Army of the Umma, and Fatah al-Islam. Following a series of violent clashes, Hamas and Jaish al-Islam established a joint committee to regulate relations between the groups and to solve disputes between them. In essence, Hamas recognized Jaish al-Islam as a legitimate armed movement inside the area under Hamas jurisdiction. In a previous agreement between the two groups, Hamas had given Jaish al-Islam $5 million and more than a million Kalashnikov bullets in compensation for its freeing of BBC journalist Alan Johnston. Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas warned about the emerging trend, telling Al-Hayat on February 26, 2008: "I believe that Al-Qaeda is present in the Palestinian territory of Gaza. It is the Hamas movement that brought Al-Qaeda in and it abets the entry and exit [of militants]....I believe that they are allies."   

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner confirmed in July 2007 that Hamas was in contact with Al-Qaeda. However, he clarified that their connection was not the result of Western policy to isolate the Hamas regime. Hamas has established a terror hothouse in Gaza designed to continue the jihad against apostates, pursue the struggle against Israel, secure the overthrow of the Abbas regime in the West Bank, and assist the efforts of the parent movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, in overthrowing the moderate regimes in the Middle East headed by Jordan and Egypt.

The Division Commander and the Head of the Civil Administration stated that such activity should continue in order to fight terror and crime within the Palestinian Authority.  

Corrupt Jew Hater Klein Forces ZOA Member to Resign: FLA Jews are you listening

FLORIDA VOTERS: VOTE THIS JEW HATING JEW OUT OF OFFICE. When will the Jewish lay leadership stop acting like the damn Judenrat of Germany and start actively advocating and campaigning for  great Americans - lovers of Israel, America and the those unafraid to confront our mortal enemies. American Jewish lay leadership seem to be escorting us onto the trains (excluding ZOA of course).

How fortunate for Florida that they could throw that bottom feeder Klein out and have an extraordinary thinking hero take over the helm of the 22nd district.

Klein Out of Line: Does this help West?

by John Gizzi (07/31/08)

Ron Klein forces ZOA member to resign...

Last Thursday (July 24th), the president of the Zionist Organization of America, one of America’s the most respected of  Jewish-American organizations, called ZOA South Florida organization chairman Alan Bergstein and gave him an ultimatum:  stop his volunteer work for West or resign from his ZOA post. According to the West campaign, “it was made clear to Bergstein that Ron Klein was necessary to pass congressional legislation important to ZOA and to Israel.  ZOA has an obligation to its membership to ensure that their issues are considered, so the national office clearly felt it had no choice but to deliver the message to Mr. Bergstein.” 

Think about it for a minute, experts:  if Klein is sending a signal for someone to do give an ultimatum to a campaign volunteer for West, does it not follow that he is somewhat concerned about the Republican challenger?

In March, ZOA had arranged a joint appearance between Klein and West.  Two days before the scheduled event, Klein said he was unable to attend and asked ZOA to cancel the event.  The group refused, the event was held, Allen West did speak, and it was very well-attended.

And Bergstein?  Upset that (in his words) “a Jewish congressman has to threaten Israel and world Jewry by whining over one person’s activities, Bergstein chose the better part of valor, resigned his position with ZOA, and will work hard on the West campaign.

I have passed the report of the ZOA and West on to others, including the Republican Jewish Coalition and Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the lone Jewish Republican in the House.  Their response will be interesting—as will those of the political “experts” the next time we review the races.

Allen West responds:

We believe that Mort Klein was put in an untenable position by Ron Klein or his supporters.  Alan Bergstein was given the choice of resigning from either the ZOA or from his volunteer support for Allen West.  We are not aware of any Ron Klein supporters who received a similar phone call.

Mr. Bergstein resigned under protest from the ZOA.  To our knowledge, no mention was made of tax status concerns but even if the question had been raised, the remedy offered was an over-reaction.

Mr. Bergstein honored the group's rules when he set up the candidate forum that started this ball rolling.  Allen West appreciated the hospitality extended to him by the local ZOA and also honored their rules in his comments to them.

This argument is not--and should not be--between Allen West and the ZOA.  It is more properly directed at Ron Klein, without whose inappropriate pressure this would not have occurred.

Leftard Jews pay Bloody Jiyza for Jewish Genocide

Murdered by Muslim in Jerusalem screaming, what else? Allah Akbar.

We mourn the loss of Elizabeth Goren-Friedman, 54, who had dedicated her life to teaching blind children; Jean Relevy, 68, who was about to become a first-time grandfather in a month; and Batsheva Unterman, 33, a kindergarten teacher in Jerusalem. (more here)

This is depraved. Why wouldn't a Muslim kill Jews and insure a solid financial future for his family. This is impossible to fathom and clearly represents how broken Israel is. They have laid down.

More Jewish Victims of the Bleeding Heart Idiots Steve Plaut (hat tip David)

1. For many years the Israeli Far Left and the Israeli media (pardon me for repeating myself - they are largely the same people) have had a bugaboo over the matter of "Vidu Hariga" or "Making sure they are dead." In confrontations with terrorist infiltrators, would-be suicide bombers, and similar peace partners, when it is not clear if the perps are really dead or just wounded, Israeli soldiers sometimes finish them off with a bullet or three. Official military orders are NOT to do so, but in many cases the commanders wisely turn aside when it is done. The leftist judges in the Israeli courts sometimes take time off from their judicial activism to scream about how awful "Making sure they are dead" is. Haaretz has long crusaded against the "barbaric" practice. Leftist "human rights" groups whine about it.

 

In the bulldozer attack in Jerusalem this week, the perp was shot by a policeman. The perp passed out and looked dead. The policeman did not "finish him off" with a Vidu Hariga shot to the nogen. Perhaps the cop was worried about being demonized in the media or prosecuted by the bleeding hearts.

 

His failure to do so resulted in more death. The terrorist suddenly came to, and hit the gas on the 'dozer, murdering Batsheva Unterman, the mother of baby Efrat. Do-good squeamishness and politically correct idiocy claimed yet another life in Israel. Failure to conduct Vidu Hariga against terrorists should be a crime in Israel, but, instead, every cop and soldier has to worry about being indicted if he finishes off a terrorist. Failure to kill terrorists costs Jewish lives.

 

Meanwhile, take a look at Naomi Ragen's wonderful piece here:

Note that the 'dozer murderer was a relative of the terrorist who committed mass murder in the yeshiva in Jerusalem last spring. At the time, the house of the terrorist's family was not demolished, the family was not deported, and - yes indeed - they WERE permitted to collect survivor benefits as relatives of the dead terrorist from Israel's social security (National Insurance Institute). For those who assumed I was kidding when I wrote that families of Arab terrorist murderers who have Israeli citizenship collect such survivor benefits, I was completely serious.

 

The family of the Yeshiva murderer set up a "mourning tent" to celebratetheir heroic "shaheed" family member after he murdered the yeshiva children. Israeli police protected the premises lest some angry Jew do something violent to them. They bragged about how proud they were of the hero with his 72 virgins (see this article).

 

Then, after all that, Olmert and his pals are shocked, I say shocked, this week when another member of that same family carries out another massmurder. While making some noises about how maybe this time the house of the perp's family should be demolished, it will not happen. The Jewish leftists will run to the courts to prevent it from ever happening. Andthen when the third member of the terrorist family commits a new mass murder, the Olmerts and the leftists in the media will be struck dumb from shock and surprise.

 

By the way, as fate would have it, one of those who shot the tractor terrorist was brother-in-law to the Jew who shot and killed the yeshivamurderer last spring. The Jewish hero had been arrested a few years back and beaten by the police for participating in protests against the Sharon Gaza capitulation and the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Gush Katif.

(More here).

UPDATE:  Must read! Caroline Glick: ANATOMY OF A MASSACRE

Government and police spokesmen would have us believe that the carnage in Jerusalem on Wednesday was unavoidable. Husam Taysir Dwayat, the convicted rapist, burglar and drug dealer turned jihadist who mowed down innocent people with his bulldozer on Jaffa Road was not suspected of links to terrorist organizations. The sociopathic, violent criminal who had "returned" to Islam over the past month raised no red flags. There was nothing to be done. No one is to blame.

If the protestations of the government and the police that nothing could have prevented Dwayat from using his bulldozer to murder three people sound familiar, it is because they are. Immediately after Ala Abu Dhaim entered into Mercaz Harav yeshiva on March 6 and massacred eight students, government and police spokesmen said the same thing. There was no way to prevent the attack. No one is to blame.

These statements are no more than easy excuses for incompetence. While it may be true that neither Dwayat nor Dhaim were members of a terror group, it is certainly true that both of these Jerusalemite terrorists operated in an atmosphere that engenders both radicalism and lawlessness. Their decisions to murder innocent people were products not only of their own evil natures, but of an atmosphere of permissiveness that naturally intensifies any latent desire to cause death and mayhem. If they had been operating in a different environment, it is possible they would have behaved differently.

JEWS UNITED FOR ISRAEL'S FRIENDS J Post hat tip wolf

[...].Ahmadinejad was hoping that while in the Italian capital he would be able to have a photo-op with Pope Benedict XVI. To secure the meeting, Ahmadinejad - who has called for all nations to convert to Islam or be destroyed (except for the Jews who can do nothing to avoid destruction) - has been sweet talking the Vatican for months. In his latest move, during a meeting in April with Archbishop Jean-Paul Gobel, the Vatican's representative in Iran, Ahmadinejad referred to the Vatican as a "positive force for justice and peace."

But Benedict was unmoved by Ahmadinejad's flattery. His request for an audience with the pontiff was unceremoniously rejected.

Not surprisingly, the Israeli government has nothing to say about Benedict's humiliation of Ahmadinejad. This is unsurprising because the Olmert-Livni-Barack-Yishai government has never bothered to pay attention to anything that the pope does. His bold moves in recent years to challenge Islamic leaders to repudiate murder and coercion in the name of Allah have elicited no support and indeed no reaction of any kind from Jerusalem.

The Olmert-Livni-Barack-Yishai government's neglect of the Vatican is regrettable, but it is par for the course for this government which has limited Israel's foreign policy to appeasing Palestinian terrorists and kowtowing to the State Department. The best that can be said for this state of affairs is that at least Israel's neglect of the Catholic Church - like its neglect of Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and Australia - is benign. In contrast, the treatment that the Vatican has received from some American Jewish leaders has been far from neglectful and far from benign.

RATHER THAN stand with the Catholic church as Benedict moves boldly against radical Islam, American Jewish leaders led by ADL Director Abe Foxman have been attacking the church for its theological decisions. Last year, fresh from his bitter campaign against Mel Gibson's movie about Jesus, Foxman began targeting the Vatican for its decision to permit wider use of the traditional Latin Mass which includes a prayer for Jews to convert to Christianity.

Foxman defines the term asshat.

Pope Benedict's actions clearly show him to be a friend of Israel and the Jewish people. Unfortunately, due to the grave absence of Jewish leadership in both Israel and the US today, he has little to show for it.
