Pamela Geller, Interview, Frontpage Magazine: Collaborators in England in the War Against the Jews

Don't miss my interview with Jamie Glazov in Frontpage magazine. Here's an excerpt:

Jewish history is littered with these collaborators. And we see them everywhere in our current environment. The failure of many Jews to stand up and fight this century’s Philistines after thousands of years of persecution is difficult to swallow. Can one deny that there is some kind of death wish present here?

And what I would like to ask is: when has the Muslim community ever stood against anti-Jewish protesters? Where were Muslims during the “Death to Jews” marches across the UK during the defensive war in Gaza? Where are the Muslim groups and Jewish groups demanding that Jew hatred be expunged from the Koran and Islamic teachings?

FP: What are your thoughts on this international cultural acceptance of Islamic anti-Semitism and simultaneous demonization of Israel?

Geller: The demonization of Israel is Jew hatred. On many levels, what is happening today is more dangerous than Nazism in the sense that Nazism was perpetrated covertly.  What we are witnessing today is done overtly: anti-Zionism is a modern variation on an age-old hatred. The Nazis hid the extermination. Work camps were death camps but no one knew what was really going on behind those walls until the Nazis were defeated. Today the haters take to the streets and engage in death to Jews, death to Israel demonstrations across Europe and America. They dance and pass out sweets in the Muslim street when Jews are murdered. What’s so disturbing is that it is being done now under the aegis of the UN.

Caroline Glick said: “They [the UN] have been attacking us for more than 30 years. They express their hatred for us with their ‘solidarity’ with the Palestinian people. That, together with their declaration that Zionism is racism, shows that they have done everything they could to fight against us.” She said that the UN’s anti-Israel stance “is anti-Semitism for the modern age. The attempt to dismiss our legitimate rights is a type of anti-Semitism, and I see no difference between the anti-Semitism of today and that of the past.”

Glick recommended that Israel take “dramatic” action against anti-Semitism at the UN:

“We must attack the hypocrisy of the UN and the international community.”

This of course is not new. But America sanctioning such an abomination is new. The most troubling aspect of this was Obama joining the United Nations human rights council – which teems with the world’s worst human rights violators and Israel bashers.

FP: Your interpretation of the mindset of the Jewish collaborators?

Geller: They are like the Jewish councils of World War II Germany that helped assist in what would become the extermination of the Jews. But that is not fair to the Kapos. The Kapos had no choice, as morally repugnant as they were. These Jews, the Rabbis and Jewish lay leadership, are fighting the last war. Yet that war is over. All their handwringing over Nazis. That war is over. This enemy is here and, as I said earlier, much more dangerous on several realms.  And this anti-Semitism is global, and still they do not see. The Koran’s hatred of the Jews is clear, and still they refuse to see. The vicious hatred of the Jews across the Muslim world, and still these Jews we are discussing refuse to see.

They tear into SIOE and counter jihad efforts, but never do they call the Muslims to task for their Jew-hating rhetoric, their death-to-the-Jews marches, their vile Jew-hating teachings, their relentless campaign against Israel, the Muslim Jew-hatred that is infecting Europe so much that Jews are fleeing in historic numbers.

Pamela Geller, American Thinker: Jews who won't support their allies

The Jews are going to have to take sides in the coming war against Israel and the Jews. Either you fight this century's nazis or you aid your executioners.

Read the whole thing. Here's an excerpt:

.Non-Jews are demonstrating on 13th December against the anti-Semitism being taught in mosques which goes unchallenged by politicians, the media and so-called ‘moderate' Muslims. Jews cannot, in all conscience, leave it to non-Jews to protest on the behalf of Jews who are once again the world's whipping boy."

But they did. The Community Security Trust, a leading Jewish group in Britain, urged the Jewish community there not to support the demonstration. The CST said in a statement that it "has drawn attention to the Islamaphobic comments on SIOE's website, and compared the group to the English Defence League, and the BNP's Nick Griffin, who have attempted to gain support from Jews through pro-Israel and anti-Muslim statements.... A demonstration against Harrow mosque under the banner ‘Stop the Islamisation of Europe', is as stupid and offensive as a demonstration against Harrow synagogue, under the banner ‘Stop the Zionisation of Europe.'"

Once again leftist Jews were lying and deceiving to advance the aims of the enemies of Jews and Jewish life. Stephen Gash of SIOE responded: "I have stood several times in elections against the BNP and what they stand for. Equating synagogues to mosques is reprehensible in my view. When terrorists leave synagogues to blow up planes and tube trains then we at SIOE might reconsider our position. Until that happens we will continue to support Israel and the right of Jews to exist and to defend themselves."

Rabbis attacked the campaign also. They said that SIOE's "only purpose" was "to spread hatred and fear," and wrote: "We share the desire of the Muslim community of Harrow to respect our mutual traditions, to learn from each other's cultures and ways of life, and to live together in peace." Even the Rabbis abandon Israel when the going gets rough. These morally ill rabbis have lost their basic instinct of self-preservation.

The Jewish Chronicle even went so far as to gloat when attendance was small. Did the Chronicle ask why so few people attended this demonstration in a town where the majority does not want this mosque? The majority knows what's happening in their country and fear it. But the Chronicle did not restate the obvious -- that people did not attend out of fear.

Did the Jewish Chronicle cover the Death to the Jews protests back in January? Does the Jewish Chronicle cover the ongoing jihad against the Jews?

Kapo Mentality takes Hold in the face of Islamic Annihilationists' Second Holocaust

These posts are hard for me to write. The failure of the Jews stand up and fight this century's Philistines after thousands of years of persecution is even more difficult to swallow.

Stop the Islamisation of Europe held a rally protest in what can only be described as an Islamic fortress in the heart of Harrow. I strongly urged Jews to attend. Islamic anti-semitism is more poisonous, more dangerous than even Nazism was to the Jews. This promise of Jewish genocide is made "sacred" by Islamic texts.

Rabbis attacked the campaign. "The show of unity from the Jewish community is in defiance of a website appeal by SIOE for 1,000 Jews carrying the Israeli flag to turn up." Even the Rabbis abandon Israel when the going gets rough.

And Jewish orgs strongly warned Jews not to support the SIOE, and even went so far as to gloat when attendance was small. Jewish history is littered with these traitors. It is our beast and burden.

The terrified Jewish Chronicle gloated:

Anti-Islam demo in Harrow draws just 15 supporters The Jewish Chronicle

A demonstration on Sunday against the building of a new mosque in north west London passed off peacefully, with no arrests.

Leading Jewish organisations had called on members of the community not to attend the Harrow demo, with the Board of Deputies and Community Security Trust among those warning against joining the Islamophobic protest.

Only 15 members of Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE), the organisation behind the demo, turned up at the rally, near Harrow Central Mosque.

A small number brandished Israeli flags. SIOE had tried unsuccessfully to persuade members of the Jewish community to join it in its protest against the mosque.

Around 200 Unite Against Fascism supporters also gathered in a counter-protest, but more than 800 police officers kept the two groups apart.

Did the Chronicle ask why so few attended in a town where the majority do not want this mosque? The majority know what's happening in their country and fear it.

No. They did not restate the obvious. People did not attend out of fear.

Did the Jewish Chronicle cover the Death to the Jews protests back in January? Does the Jewish Chronicle cover the "jihad on the Jews"? These cowards put all Jews at risk. If you are too scared to stand up, then shut up!

Much like the Jewish councils of World War II Germany that helped assist in what would become the extermination of the Jews, we are witnessing Jewish groups like the CST aiding and abetting Islamic jihad and Islamic anti-semitism. I see the Muslim community doing nothing to expunge their texts and their teachings of virulent Jew hatred (the poisonous fruit of their anti-semitism here and here).

What proud Jew or rational men could stand with savages?

Below: Jewish blood libel (eating babies)

I left numerous comments (something I rarely do) at these various  publications:

The death wish of the Jews....it is to break the heart.

Whenever has Muslim community stood against 'divisive' anti-Jewish protesters? I ask you. Where were Muslims during the death to Jews marches across the UK during the defensive in Gaza?

What about Islamic anti-semitism? Where are the Muslim groups and Jewish groups demanding that Jew hatred be expunged from the Koran and Islamic teachings?

Morally ill rabbis who have lost their basic instinct of self-preservation.

I then went on to list all of the implicit Jew hating quotes from Islamic sacred texts (here). To no avail (obviously).

Judge for yourself.

Read the remarks made at the Harrow SIOE demonstration:

we people who love our countries, favour freedom over oppression and believe that democracy is better than theocracy in order for people to develop and prosper.

Once again our enemies are gathered to oppose us which means they support the tyranny of Islam with its paedophilia, hatred of women, and general oppression of the human spirit..

Just across the way, there stands the giant Harrow mosque one of the largest in England. It stands there with its unnecessarily high 40m minaret, piercing Harrow’s skyline. This mosque is not a symbol of integration or co-existence with other, non-Muslim, communities. Just the opposite, it is a symbol of triumphalism and the hubris of Islam, and therefore Muslims, over everything and everybody else.

Recep Erdogan the Prime Minister of Turkey recited an Islamic poem with the lines The Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan, publicly read an Islamic poem including the lines: “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and Muslims our soldiers…”

That is what Islam is all about, domination and oppression of non-Muslims. Let’s not be under any illusions. Islam does not exist in a vacuum. It is not some mystical thing existing all on its own. Like any other regime Islam requires its protagonists in order to function. These protagonists call themselves Muslims.

Islam is not merely a narrow theocracy, nor merely a religion. it is tyrannical totalitarian doctrine that orders the murder of it dissenters.

Sensible people would call that fascism, however our opponents, who call themselves anti-fascists, wish to install the rule of Islam with its sinister, dissembling, bearded clerics who intend to dominate us by fear under sharia.

This fear is controlled and maintained by mosque-rule where the sinister, dissembling, clerics are the prosecutor, judge and jury. They are unelected and answer to nobody, but themselves, although they say they are fulfilling the will of allah. Well let them fulfil the will of allah in Saudi Arabia and Iran, those bastions of freedom, women’s rights and children’s rights. Non-Muslims are not allowed to practice their faith in Saudi Arabia. Only mosques are allowed there.

Saudi Arabia is the home of Sunni Islam and Iran is the home of Shia Islam, countries not known for promoting freedom of expression, but are known for stoning women to death for being raped, hanging homosexuals for being homosexual, and beheading those who leave Islam.

Not even the Nazis killed people merely for leaving the Nazi party.

We gathered here today, despise all these cruel things – yet those who oppose us today have the nerve to call US fascists. They should be ashamed of themselves, but self-styled anti-fascists have no shame. They are the true fascists who call themselves international socialists – the Internazis.

We, along with millions of other Europeans, and billions of people across the world wish to see an end to Islamisation. And we will see an end to Islamisation!

There are few if any countries that are blissfully free of Islam. Most non-Muslim countries have the dividing wedge of Islam hammered into their once peaceful societies. Some countries have the Islam-wedge driven deeper in than others, whether they be Christian, Hindu or Buddhist countries. It does not matter, what other religions countries have, it is the goal of Muslims to impose a worldwide caliphate where everyone submits to Islamic rule, controlled by the bearded women-haters and child molesters of the kind that run the mosques in Islamic countries.

We say ‘no’ we will not have hate preached in mosques in our countries. Stopping the preaching of hate in mosques means stopping Islam because Islam is a doctrine of hate. Some liars say that Islam means peace. It does not mean peace. Islam means submission.

We submit to no-one. We submit to no foreign ideology disguised as a religion.

NO SHARIA HERE!

In the cold-war we had ordinary people fleeing communism. These ordinary freedom-loving folk told us how bad it was to live under communism. They did not try to impose communism upon us. Just the opposite.

However, today we see asylum seekers supposedly fleeing Islamic persecution in countries like Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan, but they bring Islam with them and demand we live as Muslims or that we place ourselves as 2nd class citizens in our own countries, eating halal food when we don’t want it, and to go swimming only when Muslims are not at the pool because they would be offended by our presence.

Read his whole speech.

This  also bears mentioning:

Anders Gravers informed the English authorities through Stephen Gash concerning an episode that took place straight after we left the demonstration.

As we exit the square where the demonstration took place we are followed by app. 30 policemen and our own professional bodyguards.

We turn left towards our cars and are met by three-four UAF-people on our right side shouting the usual slogans, but on our left side there is a very angry looking young man standing looking very much like a convert…

He is standing with a cup in his hand containing some clear liquid.  The angry man is spotted immediately by our security people and they report it to the bodyguards who protect Anders Gravers. They keep an eye with him as he moves up the pavement following us walking on the road. He stares continuously at Anders Gravers with a boundless hate in his eyes. At one point one of the security guards senses that something is wrong and manages to shoulder him off  just as he lunges across the street. At that very moment a policeman grips him from behind and lifts him away. Shortly after he is released.

Afterwards the security people said that they obviously couldn’t guarantee  the man carried acid in his cup, but with the anger and determination he exuded it was very likely it wasn’t water.

and the winner of the Jewish libel, bloodthirsty, self-loathing Jew award goes to ...

The award goes to .....this pig. hat tip Armaros

Jewish self defense is a war crime.

Didn't these same spineless, gutless clowns give O-loser a nobel?

SIOE vs Dhimmi tools

I support the Stop the Islamisation of Europe movement. I think it a grave mistake for Europe to be co-opted and conquered by Islam. Not to mention heinous Islamic anti-semitism.

A five story monster mosque in the middle of Harrow is a fortress. Period. Stand against the invasion.

Stephen Gash of SOIE (Stop the Islamisation of Europe) answers our critics here:

People, and especially Jews please read this and then come to the demonstration. Ask yourselves who is deceiving you? The most dangerous lie is a half-truth and the CST’s articles about SIOE are full of half-truths.

SIOE has never made a secret of its hardline views on Islam and Muslims. SIOE considers that the talk about “moderate”, “political”, “radical” and “extreme” Islam is long passed. SIOE blames so-called “moderate” Muslims for the problems the non-Islamic world is now facing and has been arguing for a “gloves-off” debate about the place, if any, of Islam within democracy without success. SIOE agrees with the vast majority of Muslim clerics in Islamic countries that Islam and democracy are mutually exclusive.

Our ruling politicians and violent self-styled “anti-fascist” activists have quashed all debate about Islam and we are now suffering the consequences. Our arguments may be seen on our site and we leave people to decide – after they have done the research. We say this because the Western media, certain groups and especially politicians lie about the threat of Islam or at the very least censor what is going on.

The media are obsessed with the Israel v Palestine conflict at the exclusion of all else. It was with this backdrop of censorship that SIOE sent out a genuine request for Jews to attend the demonstration against further mosque building until the preaching of jihad is stopped in existing mosques, scheduled for 13th December in front of Harrow’s Civic Centre at 14.00.

This lead to an interesting interchange between SIOE and an organisation called the CST and the sequence of events is more or less recapped below.

Please read all of the information including the links and then form your own opinion.

1. 01/10/2009 – The press release for the demonstration was sent to national and international media outlets, anti-Islamist blogs and sites for Jewish, Coptic, Hindu, Sikh and Christian communities among others.

2. 26/11/2009 A press release was sent to Jewish media outlets, anti-Islamist blogs and Jewish blogs asking for Jews to bring 1,000 Israeli flags and to defend Israel’s right to exist and to protest against the biased media coverage Israel receives, as well as to protest against jihad against Jews that is preached in mosques across the world.

3. 30/11/2009 The CST published this response to the press relase calling for Jews to attend. This was reproduced in the Jewish Chronicle.

4. SIOE sent this response to the CST

This email is copied to several Jewish outlets and individuals.

Regarding this article in the Jewish Chronicle.

For your information, I have stood several times in elections against the BNP and what they stand for.

Equating synagogues to mosques is reprehensible in my view. When terrorists leave synagogues to blow up planes and tube trains then we at SIOE might reconsider our position.

Until that happens we will continue to support Israel and the right of Jews to exist and to defend themselves.

The whole world has a problem with terrorists who bellow “Allah u akbar” when they kill, not just the West. This is a problem for Muslims to solve, which they have signally failed to do. Until they do actually solve their problems with their so-called religion, then we reserve the right to demonstrate against further mosque building in the West and the foisting of Islamic practices upon non-Muslims.

Minorities are persecuted in Islamic countries, by Muslims. No moderate Muslims come to their aid. Not far from Israel, Copts are oppressed in a near genocidal fashion, by Muslims in Egypt. No moderate Muslim speaks up for the Copts in any mosque in Egypt or England. No moderate Muslim speaks up for Copts in Europe. The only non-Coptic group who speaks up for Copts is SIOE. Not even the Chief Rabbi speaks up for Copts, to my knowledge. So to be likened to the BNP is damned well insulting.

We in SIOE oppose communism, Nazism and above all Islam, recognising them all to be different manifestations of the same thing, namely, totalitarianism. Islam is the nastiest form of totalitarianism and anybody who denies this is a fool wilfully blind to events. Durban II ring a bell anybody?

Arguably, it was Western colonisation that halted Islam and its persecution of non-Muslims. It was certainly the West that forced the Ottoman Empire to stop imposing the jizzya tax on non-Muslims. Since that colonisation ceased the persecution has resumed. This is in no way intended as a defence of imperialism, but the behaviour of Muslims towards non-Muslims before the rise of the West was reprehensible, ask the Serbs. The behaviour of Muslims towards non-Muslims is reprehensible now. Ask Copts in Egypt, Christians in Pakistan, Sudan and Indonesia, Hindus in Bangladesh and Malaysia amd Jews everywhere.

In Denmark, Muslims have created non-Muslim no-go zones and are charging them the jizzya tax in order to move and go about their business. News of this is suppressed by media outlets which is obsessed with Israeli actions against Muslims (not the reverse).

Honing down any opposition to Islam, and therefore Muslims because Islam requires its practitioners to function, to merely being the BNP, is dangerous. The BNP has gained seats in the European Parliament, not because of SIOE, but because of the real Islamophobes in the British Parliament, who kowtow down to the Muslim demands backed up by threats of violence. It has also gained these seats because ordinary people have had their legitimate concerns quelled by insults and accusations of racism, xenophobia and bigotry. In other words people are feeling “I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t, so I may as well”.

The only recourse left for opponents of Islamisation in Europe is the streets because the dialogue now called for by “moderate” Muslims has, until now, been denied non-Muslim opponents of Islam. So-called moderate Muslims will not come to the aid of Jews, homosexuals or the Kuffar, should Islam4UK get its way and Islam with its horrible sharia law becomes the ruling despotism in the UK and Europe. Where have they prevented persecution of non-Muslims in Islamic countries or the rise of such persecution?

P.S.

I forgot to mention the image in the article was published without the caption.

It is here http://sioe.wordpress.com/2009/10/07/harrow-stop-mosque-buiding-demo-13th-december/

and the caption puts it in context, reproduced below.

The Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan, publicly read an Islamic poem including the lines: “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and Muslims our soldiers…”

Why are the media so enamoured of truth-economy that borders on Kitman?

4. 03/12/2009 SIOE phoned the CST asking if were going to publish the reply and was told that the CST would definitely not be doing so. I said that the CST could write a disclaimer and that the CST did not need to alter its position regarding SIOE, but this was refused.

An hour long conversation ensued in which SIOE accused the CST of being a deceitful organisation that wilfully misled its readers. We think this accusation has some merit.

The discussion included:-

a) Moderate Muslims – the CST accused SIOE of driving Muslims to become extreme, and SIOE suggested that quashing of debate about Islam was causing people to vote for parties the media describe as far-right.

SIOE said that moderate Muslims had had plenty of time to stop jihadism in mosques and had failed to do so. For example, in the days surrounding SIOE’s 11th September Harrow demonstration three Muslims were convicted for planned terrorist attacks who had been taught jihad in Walthamstow mosque, which itself had reportedly been “radicalised” for 20 years. Under such circumstances SIOE’s protests in Harrow were justified, a fact reinforced by the arrest of Muslims in Manchester on terrorist charges.

b) SIOE pointed out that the CST had deceitfully omitted the caption to the mosque-cartoon which was lines taken from an Islamic poem quoted by Recep Erdogan, the Prime Minister of Turkey.

SIOE pointed out that moderate Muslims had voted Erdogan into power AFTER his release. The CST guy whimpered not everybody in Turkey voted for him (I guess everybody in the USA voted for Bush then everybody voted for Obama?), to which I retorted that similar Islamic governments are being voted into power where any semblance of democracy exists in Muslim countries, such as Malaysia. I explained this is why we don’t believe in moderate Muslims, for which we receive both criticism and support. Generally people support our notion when we explain why, which is exactly why the CST refuses to publish our reply and doctors conversations in the way it has.

c) SIOE complained that it was totally wrong to link SIOE with any political party as political parties are banned from its demonstrations. The subjects in SIOE’s reply were discussed and CST’s assertions thorougly rebuffed.

d) The question of racism was raised and once again SIOE correctly stated that Muslims comprise many races and kill non-Muslims of all races, especially Jews which have virtually been eradicated in countries like Afghanistan. Race is not an issue, but hatred for the Kuffar and especially Jews is.

This was along conversation that I wished I had recorded. Anyway, I managed to persuade the CST that at least it should publish the caption for the cartoon as it had been so scathing in its attack on the image and made gross extrapolations as to what would happen.

5) 04/12/2009 The CST published this response to the telephone conversation

a) Note the point about Muslims voting Erdogan into power after his release was not included

b) The reference to people spitting at veiled women is actually contemptible when one considers the rise in acid attacks on Muslim women, not only in Muslim countries, but also in Europe and the UK, as can be seen in these graphic pictures of facial disfigurement.

Let’s look at this one issue of burkhas and face veils. One argument levelled at SIOE is that we make it difficult for moderate Muslims. It is well known that women are fighting the introduction of the veil in Turkey (where it and the burkha are still banned in public) and also its imposition in Iran, among other places.

SIOE argues that the allowing of the veil and the burkha in the West makes it impossible for women to oppose them in Muslim countries. The male Muslim clerics can point to the West and say “They wear them in Kuffar countries so you can damned well wear them here”.

BAN THE BURKHA AND BAN THE VEIL!

“The nastiest bigots are those prejudiced against their own people” and this is seemingly true of the CST in our honest opinion. Why else would it publish its opinion based on deceit?

SIOE never asked the CST to change its opinion about us or to support us, only to print our reply and to let its readership decide. Fat chance from truth-manipulating self-loathing bigots.

SIOE’s actions do not garner support for the BNP it is organisations like the CST with its censorship and the UAF which brands everybody with whom it disagrees, a fascist.

When people have a free and fair choice they vote against Islamisation, as they did recently in Switzerland.

Dhimmitude: European Rabbis Submit to Islam

Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan:

“The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and Muslims our soldiers…”

Is there any way we can gather these dhimmi Rabbis together for a conference and educate them on Islamic anti-semitism with the world's leading scholars on Islam?

Do these 'rabbis' know what Islam teaches about Jews? Do they know that Muslims curse the Jews (and Christians) 17 times a day in their daily prayer? Do they know it is the duty of every Muslims to destroy Judaism and Israel?

Have they forgotten the Muslims' death to the Jews marches across Europe when Israel defended herself against jihadi rockets earlier this year?

What is wrong with the Jews? These rabbis would have manned the judenrat councils for Nazi Germany.

Seriously, there is a fundamental death wish in the Jewish people.My heart is breaking.

European Rabbis Against Swiss Ban on Mosque Minarets

(IsraelNN.com) The head of the Conference of European Rabbis objects to the decision by Swiss citizens to ban minarets on Muslim mosques. "A war on religious freedom cannot defeat Islamic extremism,” he explained.

Fifty-seven percent of Swiss voters and a majority of the country’s cantons supported Sunday’s referendum proposal. Backers of the ban said the minaret is symbol of fundamental Islam that is encroaching on the life of Europeans.

Italy may follow suit with a referendum of its own, according to Roberto Caldeoli, leader of that country's conservative Northern League party. “Respect for other religions is important, but we must put the brakes on Muslim propaganda or else we will end up with an Islamic political party,” he said.

Catholic Supports Ban
A prominent Catholic figure from Moscow, where the European rabbis are holding their bi-annual conference, disagreed with the rabbis and supported the ban.

"The issue of minarets is not an issue of religious freedom," Father Filaret told Interfax, "but an issue of political presence of people of a certain faith and ethnic background in a country. Taking into account a rapid rate of Islamization, visible signs of Muslims' presence would have, in particular, a political tint."

The Ukrainian Rumor (hat tip Ken)

A frightening rumor was spreading like wildfire through a small Ukrainian village, at the turn of the century. Apparently, a young Christian girl had been found murdered. Knowing how anti-Semitic many of the local peasants were -- even with no evidence of who'd actually killed the girl -- the Jews logically feared horrible repercussions,. Perhaps even a pogrom. A huge crowd congregated in their small, simple synagogue. Ideas were flying around the room about the best way to ward off the inevitable revenge they both feared and had come to expect.

People were shouting, ideas were flying back and forth, when suddenly Abramowitz runs into the synagogue and makes a momentous announcement:

"I have great news! The murdered girl was Jewish!"

Not funny but appropriate.

The Koran on the Jews

(thanks to Robert Spencer)

“Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews…” (5:82).

 “Curses were pronounced on those among the Children of Israel who rejected Faith, by the tongue of David and of Jesus the son of Mary: because they disobeyed and persisted in excesses.” (5:78).

 “Is it ever so that when they make a covenant a party of them set it aside? The truth is, most of them believe not. And when there came to them a messenger from Allah [Muhammad], confirming what was with them [the Torah], a party of the people of the Book threw away the Book of Allah behind their backs, as if (it had been something) they did not know!” (2:100-101).

 “The People of the Book know well that that is the truth from their Lord. Nor is Allah unmindful of what they do” (2:143-144).

“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (9:29).

 “And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah (Himself) fighteth against them. How perverse are they!” (9:30)

 The Jews killed their prophets (2:61; 2:87; 2:91; 3:21; 3:112; 3:181; 3:183; 4:155; 5:70), and boast “we killed the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary” (4:157).

“Allah hath heard the taunt of those who say: ‘Truly, Allah is indigent and we are rich!’ We shall certainly record their word and (their act) of slaying the prophets in defiance of right, and We shall say: ‘Taste ye the penalty of the Scorching Fire!’” (3:181)

 “Why do not the rabbis and the doctors of Law forbid them from their (habit of) uttering sinful words and eating things forbidden? Evil indeed are their works.” (5:63)

 “The Jews say: ‘Allah’s hand is tied up.’ Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the (blasphemy) they utter. Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched: He giveth and spendeth (of His bounty) as He pleaseth. But the revelation that cometh to thee from Allah increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. Amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Judgment. Every time they kindle the fire of war, Allah doth extinguish it; but they (ever) strive to do mischief on earth. And Allah loveth not those who do mischief” (5:64).

 The Jews “strive to do mischief on earth” – that is, fasaad, for which the punishment is specified in 5:33: “they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land.”

 “Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors. They will do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance; if they come out to fight you, they will show you their backs, and no help shall they get. Shame is pitched over them (like a tent) wherever they are found, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allah and from men; they draw on themselves wrath from Allah, and pitched over them is (the tent of) destitution. This because they rejected the Signs of Allah, and slew the prophets in defiance of right; this because they rebelled and transgressed beyond bounds.” (3:110-112)

 “And because of their breaking their covenant, We have cursed them and made hard their hearts. They change words from their context and forget a part of that whereof they were admonished. Thou wilt not cease to discover treachery from all save a few of them. But bear with them and pardon them. Lo! Allah loveth the kindly (5:13).

 “Among the People of the Book are some who, if entrusted with a hoard of gold, will (readily) pay it back; others, who, if entrusted with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless thou constantly stoodest demanding, because, they say, ‘there is no call on us (to keep faith) with these ignorant (Pagans).’ but they tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it.” (3:75)

 “O Messenger! let not those grieve thee, who race each other into unbelief: (whether it be) among those who say ‘We believe’ with their lips but whose hearts have no faith; or it be among the Jews -- men who will listen to any lie -- will listen even to others who have never so much as come to thee. They change the words from their (right) times and places: they say, ‘If ye are given this, take it, but if not, beware!’ If any one’s trial is intended by Allah, thou hast no authority in the least for him against Allah. For such - it is not Allah’s will to purify their hearts. For them there is disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter a heavy punishment.” (5:41)

 “There is a party of them who distort the Scripture with their tongues, that ye may think that what they say is from the Scripture, when it is not from the Scripture. And they say: It is from Allah, when it is not from Allah; and they speak a lie concerning Allah knowingly” (3:78).

“Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say: ‘This is from Allah,’ to traffic with it for miserable price! Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.” (2:79)

 “But because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them, nor wilt thou cease to find them- barring a few - ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): for Allah loveth those who are kind.” (5:13)

“Many of the People of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers after your belief, through envy on their own account, after the truth hath become manifest unto them’” (2:109).

“And when there comes to them a Book from Allah, confirming what is with them, although from of old they had prayed for victory against those without Faith, when there comes to them that which they (should) have recognised, they refuse to believe in it but the curse of Allah is on those without Faith. “ (2:89)

“For the iniquity of the Jews We made unlawful for them certain (foods) good and wholesome which had been lawful for them; in that they hindered many from Allah’s Way; that they took usury, though they were forbidden; and that they devoured men’s substance wrongfully; we have prepared for those among them who reject faith a grievous punishment.” (4:160-161)

“Thou wilt indeed find them, of all people, most greedy of life,-even more than the idolaters: Each one of them wishes He could be given a life of a thousand years: But the grant of such life will not save him from (due) punishment. For Allah sees well all that they do.” (2:96)

Allah transforms disobedient Jews into apes and pigs (2:63-66; 5:59-60; 7:166).

December 13: Stop the Islamisation of Europe UK Event

Harrow stop mosque building demo 13th December

The Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan, publicly read an Islamic poem including the lines: “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and Muslims our soldiers…”

BANNED FROM PROTEST

1. As with previous SIOE demonstrations, political parties are banned.

2. Any racist chanting, banners and placards will result in immediate ejection of the perpetrators from the demo as will nazi salutes.

3. Totalitarian symbols such as nazi swastikas, communist hammer and sickles, Islamic star and crescent, UNLESS CLEARLY CROSSED OUT OR DEFACED WITH A STOP SIGN.

Banners, placards and speeches will be shown to the police prior to the protest starting if requested.

Gash instructions:

The event will start at 14.00 in an area in the square opposite the mosque allotted to SIOE by the police. A muster point has been allotted and people should not gather there before 13.30, in other words people should start assembling the gathering between 13.30 and 14.00 . Details will be given later of where this will be.

People are requested not to bring banners attached to either metal or wood. Plastic plumbing-piping or plastic frames are acceptable, or just hand-held banners. It would be helpful if people could send us images of proposed banners for approval. This will save time on the day. In any case banners will be shown to the police before the demo starts, if requested.

This demo will be carried out in a respectful, dignified manner, but will be robust in its message.

Protestors are requested to bring cameras and camcorders and to make images available to SIOE afterwards for publication. Also, if participants could bring dictaphones to record press interviews so that we can compare what is actually said with what is broadcast, it would be helpful. These interviews will be published by SIOE.

When the event ends the protestors will leave together from the scene according to how the police wish it to happen.

This second demonstration was only made necessary because of Muslims and a small number of UAF intimidating and disrupting the first attempt on 11th September. We refuse to be cowed by threats and intimidation from fulfilling our democratic rights to free speech. Europe is not yet Muslim dominated so non-Muslims do not  have to yield to Muslim demands, nor to the demands of a motley band of self-styled Antifascists who behave like Hitler’s Brownshirts.

OPPOSITION

1. There will be local Muslims who attend the mosque who will be close by the mosque. It is not anticipated that these will be large in number, but will in any case be under the control of the mosque leaders.

2. Muslims from outside the area have been asked to stay away by Harrow mosque leaders, so if any show up, it is anticipated they will be small in number.

Islam4UK is highly unlikely to appear, nor is Al-Muhajiroun, as they failed to demonstrate earlier in November and have ceased their disgusting protests against the troops at homecoming parades. Fortunately, they seem to have got the message that they have no support, but do have fierce opposition from the majority of the population.

British Muslims for Secular Democracy will be in opposition, but not in large numbers, as most Muslims indisputably do not believe in secular democracy. The fact that BMSD are counter-protesting is also another reason for Islam4UK not attending as the latter will more than likely be giving out a whining press release the day after the demonstration, as they did earlier in November when facing opposition.

SIOE suspects that BMSD and Islam4UK have a “good guy, bad guy” arrangement as, what SIOE calls, “Mecca Muslims” (BMSD) and “Medina Muslims” (Islam4UK). The Caliphate has more than one way to achieve domination.

3. A few misguided United Against Fascism (UAF) opposed SIOE on 11th September, but nearly all their banners were given to Muslims who came in from outside. 

UAF have appeared in larger numbers against the English Defence League, probably only because it has “English” in its title, not because it is in any way fascist.

However, the UAF has certainly recognised that SIOE is in no way a fascist or nazi organisation and that SIOE also unswervingly opposes racism. Indeed UAF has seen that SIOE is the one organisation that speaks up for persecuted minorities in Islamic countries, such as the Copts in Egypt and Christians in Pakistan and Indonesia. So UAF would look sincerely stupid counter-protesting against SIOE which opposes anti-Semiticism and fascism more robustly than UAF. Indeed SIOE is not selective in the kind of anti-Semiticism it denounces. Unlike UAF, SIOE despises and opposes the flagrant anti-Semiticism exhibited by Muslims, not only in Muslim countries, but also in Europe, and indeed across the world. The kind of anti-Semiticism preached in every mosque in the world.

Yes UAF will look as stupid as the few ill-informed Antifa members who show up against SIOE in other European countries.  Having seen that SIOE is the most anti-fascist organisation in Europe, the more serious and knowledgable anti-fascists no longer counter-protest SIOE.  We have observed it is generally a few unruly, ignorant youths who arrive shouting their heads off.

Sarah Cox, Harrow’s UAF spokesperson, has said in the Harrow Times that she does not want to take on SIOE, so we anticipate she will be persuading her more boisterous and foolish companions to do the same. So, if  UAF unwisely do appear, we are confident that they will heed Sarah’s demands for self-control and will therefore behave just as SIOE supporters do at all of their demonstrations, that is, peacefully.

So, SIOE considers that this will be an altogether different demonstration to that held on 11th September, now that our opponents have come to their senses and decided to behave in a civilised manner.

Therefore, we urge SIOE supporters to come to Harrow on 13th December and bring as many friends as possible for what will certainly be a peaceful, useful and successful demonstration.  The plug has been pulled on Islamisation and sharia is pouring down the plughole where it belongs.

BRING ONE THOUSAND ISRAELI FLAGS

SIOE supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Islamist attempts to annihilate Jews 

 

This is a serious appeal to Jews living in London or within travelling distance of London.

If you do not attend this demonstration then you are prepared to see Israel wiped off the map.

If you do not attend this demonstration then you are prepared to see Jews removed from the world.

Vile anti-Semitism is being preached in mosques across the world and almost certainly the one in your neighbourhood.

Are you going to honour those who have lost their lives for the Jewish people?

Are you going to demur to being called “apes and pigs” instead of the people you are?

Or are you going to dishonour those who made the ultimate sacrifice to provide the Jewish people with a HOMELAND and thereby dishonour yourselves?

Non-Jews are demonstrating on 13th December against the anti-Semitism being taught in mosques which goes unchallenged by politicians, the media and so-called ‘moderate’ Muslims.

Jews cannot, in all conscience, leave it to non-Jews to protest on the behalf of Jews who are once again the world’s whipping boy.

If Islam takes over Europe and the West where will Jews run to?  Support your friends now!

Calling Jews, especially ex-IDF who are concerned about the rise in anti-Semitic attacks in Europe particularly by Muslims and the flagrant anti-Israel bias in the Western media

Please come to the demonstration on 13^th December in Harrow to protest against further mosque building until hatred is finally stopped being preached in existing mosques and to stop the Islamisation of Europe

BRING ONE THOUSAND ISRAELI FLAGS – There are 295,000 Jews in the UK so surely 1,000 can give 2 hours on a Sunday and bring a flag each!

Here are some reasons why Jews must come to this demonstration

Anti-Semitic attacks have increased alarmingly in Europe especially by the hands of Muslims and Robert Spencer, eloquently as always, explains why . Of course the media would have it that Israel and the bombing of Gaza are the reasons.

France has seen the most noticeable increase in anti-Semitic attacks by Muslims which has caused an exodus of Jews from France.  Indeed it was suggested that emigration of Jews to Israel was the best answer to anti-Semitism in France.

Around 850,000 Jews have been ousted from Arab countries (no sanctions for genocide though) and reportedly one Jew is left in Afghanistan

So where are Jews to go?

Arguably, (some say undoubtedly) the media enflame the situation.

The anti-Israel bias is barely disguised.  Recently Peter Oborne reported on Channel4’s ‘Dispatches’ about the strength of the Israeli lobby in the press and government in the UK http://www.channel4.com/programmes/dispatches/4od suggesting that it was far too strong and the media were afraid.

The trouble with this programme is that it never even attempted to find a cause and effect. Rather like we are led to believe that everything was peaceful and calm before the first Crusade, we are led to believe that reports about Israel were always impartial and the Israeli lobby happened for no reason. Jews know that was far from the case.

The Palestine v Israel conflict has never been reported impartially. Indeed downright lies have been broadcast deliberately to put Israel in a bad light.

For example, the alleged shooting of the 12 year-old Mohammed Al-Dura whilst sheltering behind his father was exposed as fake in a French court.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Z4_11wLjw 
This is just one video of several showing the untruth.

Similarly, videos of children being “rescued” from bombed buildings were reportedly faked. We know about  doctored photos.

Often the internet is the only recourse to reverse the chicanery of the Taqiyya TV companies, but even there such sites as Honest Reporting are targetted by TV channels.

The largest United Nations voting bloc is comprised of the 57 Muslim countries which have tried to isolate Israel several times, most notably in the two Durban Conferences .

However, at least somebody speaks up for Israel in the United Nations, refreshingly.

Thanks to UN Watch

So please come to the Harrow demonstration to support those who support Jews, Israel and the truth.

Corrupt, Tainted Columbia University Recipient of Iranian Terror Dollars

Is it any wonder that ivy league Columbia Universitay welcomes the mass slaughterer and genocidal dictator Ahmadinejad like a returning king, but censures and bans brave truth tellers like Nonie Darwish? Any Jew who gives money to Columbia deserves his or her face slapped. As if the zyklon B wasn't strong enough.

Every Jewish dollar should be pulled from every one of these jihad juicing nurseries of brownshirts.

New York Post doing great work:

Schools' Iran $$ pipeline NY Post hat tip Paul

Anti-Israel, pro-Iran university professors are being funded by a shadowy multimillion-dollar Islamic charity based in Manhattan that the feds charge is an illegal front for the repressive Iranian regime.

The deep-pocketed Alavi Foundation has aggressively given away hundreds of thousands of dollars to Columbia University and Rutgers University for Middle Eastern and Persian studies programs that employ professors sympathetic to the Iranian dictatorship.

"We found evidence that the government of Iran really controlled everything about the foundation," said Adam Kaufmann, investigations chief at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

Federal law-enforcement authorities are in the midst of seizing up to $650 million in assets from the Alavi Foundation, which they charge funnels money to Iran-supported Islamic schools in the United States and to a syndicate of Iranian spies based in Europe.

In one of the biggest handouts, the controversial charity donated $100,000 to Columbia University after the Ivy League school agreed to host Iranian leader and Holocaust denier Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, according to the foundation's 2007 tax filings obtained by The Post.

Rutgers professor Hooshang Amirahmadi, former head of the school's Center for Middle Eastern Studies and president of the American-Iranian Council, a nonprofit advocacy group, unabashedly has touted Hezbollah and Hamas as legitimate organizations and not terrorists.

Between 2005 and 2007, the Alavi Foundation donated $351,600 to the Rutgers Persian language program, a spokesman for the school acknowledged. The university would not comment further.

Alavi's Web site says its mission is the "promotion of Islamic culture and Persian language."

"This is all about Iran laundering their policies through academe," said Michael Rubin, an Iran expert at the American Enterprise Institute think tank. "And the ivory tower is prostituting itself for money."

But Amirahmadi disagreed. "Grants from Alavi are made to the universities, not to the professors," he told The Post.

Columbia spokesman Robert Hornsby said Alavi's donations rarely topped more than a few thousand dollars and that the $100,000 donation was its largest single gift. Hornsby added that the school was surprised the foundation had direct ties to the Iranian government.

The Alavi foundation declined comment.

Additional reporting by Brad Hamilton

UNIVERSITIES FOR SALE

The Alavi Foundation — a charity that law-enforcement officials believe is a front for the Iranian government — has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund professorships at Columbia and Rutgers universities. These professors have been apologists for the Iranian government:

Gary Sick, professor, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia: He [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] made it very clear that, whether he is talking about ‘wiping Israel off the map,’ or ‘erased from the pages of time,’ or whatever the quote is, what he means is that there should be a free referendum among the peoples of the Palestine that existed to the partition in 1948 to vote about the kind of a government they should have. He is confident that, in a free vote, Israel and Israelis would lose that vote and it would turn out to be something else: a unitary state, probably run by the Palestinians.

Hooshang Amirahmadi, director, Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Rutgers: Unfortunately, a large part of the problems between Iran and the US are not based in reality, but are based on myths. The problem of terrorism is a true myth. Iran has not been involved in any terrorist organization. Neither Hezbollah nor Hamas are terrorist organizations . . . The Iranian president’s problem is with Israel, not with America.

Hamid Dabashi, professor of Iranian studies and comparative literature, Columbia: That monstrosity that [director Zack] Snyder pictures [in his film “300”] marching towards Thermopylae is the American empire — and that band of brothers that stood up to that monstrosity are those resisting this empire: They are the Iraqi resistance, the Palestinians, Hezbollah.

J Street is a Dead End as rats jump ship

The vile anti-Jewish J Street is being shunned by K street, Congress, and anyone with an ounce of basic human decency. Only Obama sanctioned this stain on humanity. Another revolting notch in the belt of the enemy in the White House. Daniel F sent this:

They're heading for the exits at anti-Zionist George Soros's vanity production, J Street. The Weekly Standard has the latest tally of politicians who no longer want their names associated with the ersatz outfit's "conference" being held next week. The list is growing. And the JPost reports that Israel's Ambassador to Washington, Michael Oren, has declined J Street's invitation too, citing concerns that "certain policies of the organization...may impair the interests of Israel."

 

Looking back, this is the unwinding of the unwarranted street cred Obama bestowed on the sham leftwing group at his meeting with Jewish leaders in July. Recall, as punishment for questioning his Israel policies, Obama excluded the venerable (and conservative) Zionist Organization of America to make room for his benefactor Soros.

The Weekly Standard is keeping tally:

The list of senators and representatives that have withdrawn their names from the host committee now stands at eleven, including both Democratic and Republican members. J Street has also cancelled a panel, rescinding invitations to three speakers whose "use and abuse of Holocaust imagery," first noted on this blog, was deemed potentially "offensive to some conference participants" by J Street director Jeremy Ben-Ami. How many more people will bail on this "pro-Israel" conference before it starts on Sunday?

The full list of members who've pulled their support from J Street:

Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR)
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS)
Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE)
Rep. Mike Ross (D-AR)
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX)
Rep. Leonard Boswell (D-IA)
Rep. John Salazar (D-CO)
Rep. Ed Towns (D-NY)
Rep. Howard Coble (R-NC)

Obama National Security Adviser to Speak at Anti-Israel Conference

It goes from bad to worse. Obama is sanctioning the fetid J street. In no other era would this radical group of Jew hating sell outs be anything but fringe.

So whats Obama's plan here? That's easy: to destroy Israel with the imprimatur of a faux "Jewish" group funded by the black hand of Soros. I wouldn't further sully the term "kapo" for these quislings. Kapos had no choice. There were no good choices for Jews in Nazi Germany. But here? Now? Collaborators to jihad in the most welcoming and benevolent country for Jews in the history of man (save for Israel).  J street Jews involved in this perverse and degenerate effort to dismantle, destroy Israel should be forever banned from the Jewish homeland. We can't excommunicate, but we can do that, at the very least.

Where is Jewish leadership in this country? Playing with their shmeckles, that's where. Where is our Jabotinsky, Meir, Begin, Bergson? How many millions did Jewish Americans donate to the major Jewish organizations in this country to watch them turn a blind eye to the Jewish genocidal threats we face or soft pedal Islamic anti-semitism? It is criminal in light of what we have  suffered. The Jewish orgs should be on the forefront of emerging threats, not making excuses or apologizing for jihad.

J Street was inevitable. When groups like AIPAC refused to take a political stand, it was only a matter of time that a leftist J group with anti-semitic  ideologies would emerge.

Back in May of '08, a reader  invited me to the AIPAC Wall Street dinner at Cipriani. Very chi chi. I went up to the Executive Director, Howard Kohr, and said I understand AIPAC is "non-partisan, but Obama will be lethal for the Jews". Kohr scoffed. I went on to relate all that I had unearthed in my two years of relentless investigation of Obama and I laid it out, point by point, fact by fact, with as little hyperbole as I could contain. Kohr shook his head. He would have none of it. We are non-partisan, he insisted. To what point are you non-partisan? If there is a candidate, a party, an official that is a Jew hater, do you maintain neutrality, like Switzerland?  He just smiled and walked away.

Obama National Security Adviser to Speak at Anti-Israel Conference

By Philip Klein American Spectaor

James Jones, President Obama's National Security Advisor, has agreed to be the keynote speaker at the anti-Israel group J Street's first annual conference in Washington next week. While the group bills itself as the "pro Israel" and "pro peace" alternative to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, in reality it is a liberal organization actively campaigning against Israel's right to defend itself. As Michael Goldfarb has noted, other speakers at the conference include Eli Pariser, the former director of Moveon.org, and Salam Al-Marayati, who was quoted in the New York Times in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks saying Israel should be considered a prime suspect:

''If we're going to look at suspects, we should look to the groups that benefit the most from these kinds of incidents, and I think we should put the state of Israel on the suspect list because I think this diverts attention from what's happening in the Palestinian territories so that they can go on with their aggression and occupation and apartheid policies.''

The announcement that Jones will speak comes as a growing number of Democratic members of Congress have announced they would drop out of participating in the conference, causing J Street to blame the Weekly Standard for employing a "classic 'swift boat' move" by publishing actual statements made by participants in the conference.
With each passing day, the outright contempt the Obama administration has for Israel becomes more apparent.

J Street Funded by Muslims and Arabs

I said the J in J Street, the fake Jewish lobbying group, stood for jihad, not Jewish. I was, of course, right. It's no wonder this group of wannabe Jew killers were welcome at the White House:

Muslims, Arabs among J Street donors

The J Street political action committee has received tens of thousands of dollars in donations from dozens of Arab and Muslim Americans, as well as from several individuals connected to organizations doing Palestinian and Iranian issues advocacy, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

Additionally, at least two State Department officials connected to Middle East issues have donated to the PAC, which gives money to candidates for US Congress supported by J Street. The organization describes itself as a "pro-Israel, pro-peace" lobby pushing for more American involvement and diplomacy in resolving the Middle East conflict.

Arab and Muslim donors are extremely rare for other organizations that describe themselves as supporters of Israel as J Street does, Jewish leaders at organizations across the political spectrum told The Jerusalem Post. Because most of these other organizations are not PACs, however, US law does not require them to release their donor lists. J Street's non-PAC arm also does not release a complete list of contributors

There's more. Want to fight back against this century's nazis?

Z Street and the Z for zoooooom, baby. There is a wonderful new organization, Z Street, that was created to counter the growing Jewicidal influence the left wing anti-Jew Jews have in the anti-Israel Obama administration. I wrote about it here. J Street, the marginal, fringe, alleged Soros group, given such credence by the White House, should be put on notice. The Jewish people have a real voice that speaks to the existential needs of the Jewish community (the J in J Street stands for jihad, don't let them fool you).

"We need to show everyone that it isn't only those on the left who know how to organize," said Lori Lowenthal Marcus, a long-time Zionist activist and, with Allyson Rowen Taylor, a Z Street founder. Her point of reference, and the inspiration for the name Z Street, was the well-known Jewish-American far-left advocacy group J Street and its associated Capitol Hill political action committee.

They are having a huge rally in DC, where I, among others, will be speaking. If you can get down to DC in support of Israel at the end of October, please join us. This group speaks for those who love and support the state of Israel.

Lori Lowenthal Marcus penned this piece for the American Thinker:

Z Street

There is a chilling scene in the 2002 movie "The Pianist." In it the train was already chugging along on the path to insanity and destruction, but before all was destroyed.  The family of the protagonist has been moved into the Warsaw Ghetto and the head of the family is sitting at a table, reading a newspaper.  He looks up and says, "I blame the American Jews."

He was talking to me.

At least, that's how I heard it.  I resolved then not to be our time's analog of a World War II American Jew -- you know, the ones who read the newspapers, see what is happening to Israel, mutter "tsk, tsk" and turn the page.

Others have had similar epiphanies, but the light from our bulbs going off is obscured by the clouds of appeasement and apologies, dressed up as tolerance and even-handedness.  

For several years we have agonized over the gathering storm of hostility towards Israel, and the organizational human shields which eagerly validate those positions.  Finally we decided that action - an immediate, decisive, in-your-face facts war, was imperative.  Allyson Rowen Taylor and I spent a few hours on the phone and created Z (Zionist) Street.

Z STREET is based on these ironclad positions: 

The right of the Jewish people to a state, and the right of Jews to live freely anywhere, including inhaling oxygen in areas the world insists are reserved for Arab Palestinians;

Relishing the terms "Jewish State" and "Zionism" - ones currently derided as shameful instead of sources of pride;

Circulation of facts -- not deceptive "Palestinian" narratives -- about the Middle East, Israel and terrorism;

Condemnation of those who revile Israel for actions they ignore when taken by Israel's enemies and virtually all states throughout history;

Categorical rejection of agreements with, or concessions to, terrorists (or their supporters) who are dedicated to Israel's destruction.

Unlike other organizations that claim to be pro-Israel, Z STREET will not pander to politicians who invite us to their offices and pay attention to our pocketbooks but ignore our positions.  For those who do not embrace our principles, there are plenty of other organizations to join. This catalyzing organization seeks to change the way discussions about Israel are crafted and viewed. 

A fuel source previously untapped has been released: within days of the launch  thousands clamored to our site, asking how to join and how they can help.  Z STREET already includes members from five continents and more than twenty states.  News articles are being written about Z STREET from the far right and the center, and we have been viciously denigrated and cartooned from the far left - all of which is gratifying.

The rising groundswell is in part a response to organizations whispering into the ear of this US administration that pervert the meaning of "pro-Israel." Their ultimate loyalty is to left-wing principles including a secular Israel and tolerance of terrorism only when directed at Jews.  They are ashamed of an avowedly Jewish State, yet completely comfortable with 22 Muslim ones, and are actively seeking the creation of a 23rd, based in Jerusalem, whose governing documents call for the destruction of Israel.

The Seven Deadly Jews

It's the enemy within us ..........

71 Senators to Obama: How About Pressuring the Arabs? (hat tip Jonathan Galt)

by Hillel Fendel

(IsraelNN.com) No fewer than 71 US Senators – including only six of the 13 Jewish ones – sent a letter to US President Barack Obama on Monday, asking him to press Arab states to recognize and normalize relations with Israel. The effort, led by Senators Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) and Jim Risch (R-Idaho), was promoted by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

The 71 signatories included the Senate leaders and whips of both parties...

The seven Jews who did not sign the letter asking for Arab peace gestures towards Israel were Russ Feingold (D-Wis.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Cal.), Al Franken (D-Minn.), Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

J Street (the J is for Jihad) Slanders Israel loving Christians

J Street is slashing and burning friends of Israel, while doing irreparable harm to the protection of Israel. It masquerades as a "Jewish" org, although it teems with self loathing Jews, Jewicidals and jihad loving tools. They were a fringe, marginal, group of radical Jew haters given influence and legitimacy by Obama, no stranger to anti-semitism.

Israel has no better friend than John Hagee's Christians United for Israel, so it was only a matter of time before a Jew hating group would come after them. And please don't write me that J Street is a pro-Israel group. They despise Israel. They deserve the contempt, scorn and derision of Jewish people the world over. *spit*

Left-Wing Group Slanders Christian Supporters of Israel

It is often said that ridiculing Christians and their beliefs is the last acceptable form of bigotry. Ultra-secular critics on the left, of course, usually scoff at this notion. But sometimes an example of anti-Christian bile comes along that is so blatant, misleading and littered with judgmental smugness, that I find it difficult to remain silent. Consider the left-wing organization J Street, which claims to be a pro-Israel advocacy group, but which, oddly enough, never misses a chance to slam Israeli policies, particularly when the Jewish State dares defend itself against Islamic terrorism. J Street released a bordering-on-hysteria press release last month to coincide with the annual Christians United for Israel (CUFI) conference in Washington, D.C. Here is the most relevant excerpt:

…J Street opposes an unholy alliance between right-wing Christian Zionist evangelicals and pro-Israel organizations. Besides being out of step with fundamental Jewish American values, Hagee’s so-called support for Israel is actually a means to an apocalyptic end of destruction or conversion for the Jewish people.

In our search for allies in the fight to keep Israel secure, American Jews should neither compromise our core Jewish values of tolerance and justice, nor gloss over the reality of the damage the settlement enterprise causes to Israel and the prospects for peace.

Where to begin? First off, let’s try a little experiment. Substitute “devout, Koran-believing Muslims” or “Torah-believing Jews” for “right-wing Christian Zionists.” The outcry from leftist groups like J Street would undoubtedly be loud and intense. But slander Christian evangelicals as J Street does in this outrageously bigoted press release, and it registers nary a blip on the radar of the mainstream media or most civil rights groups.

Indeed, J Street’s statement goes far beyond criticizing the views of Pastor John Hagee, who organized the CUFI conference. The group is, of course, perfectly free to criticize Hagee if it disagrees with his personal viewpoints. This is a free country. But by tarring all evangelical Christian supporters of Israel as part of some sinister movement that is “unholy,” “apocalyptic” and destructive for the Jewish people, J Street descends into stereotyping and demonization of the worst kind.

Since I spent two full days covering the CUFI conference at the Washington Convention Center on July 21 and 22 (watch my report on the event here and read my blog entry here), let me give some personal observations on what I saw and heard--and what J Street is so contemptuous of.

Not once--in the course of some 20 hours of coverage and countless conversations with conference-goers—did I hear the terms “apocalypse,” “Armageddon,” ‘Antichrist,” or “End Times,” mentioned. Nor did I hear any discussion of the Book of Revelation or of converting Jews. I realize this may come as a shock to J Street, which apparently views such events as fire-and-brimstone hatefests complete with snake taming and calls to nuke Mecca. What I witnessed instead were thousands of attendees, Christian, Jewish and secular, expressing a genuine, deep and heartfelt love for the Land of Israel--its history, beauty and legacy—and especially, its people. As you can see from my report, the place was literally a sea of Israeli and American flags: a true celebration of the Jewish State. There were Hebrew prayers, Hebrew songs, shofars, Torah readings and passionate speeches by Jewish leaders, lawmakers and religious figures. There were also some tears shed. I know it may all sound very “kumbaya,” but I have covered countless manufactured, shallow mega-events in DC over the past six years and let me tell you: what I saw at CUFI was 100 percent genuine.

If this was the kind of doom-and-gloom affair that J Street alludes to, I must have missed it. So must have Senator Joe Lieberman, Rep. Shelley Berkley and talk radio hosts Dennis Prager and Michael Medved: all prominent, proud Jews who spoke at the CUFI gala.

Since the folks at J Street obviously have a very narrow view of what it means to be a Christian supporter of Israel, let me enlighten them a bit by sharing my own personal story. I was raised in a heavily Catholic area of working class Philadelphia by a father who was a veteran of the U.S. 101st Airborne Division. Not surprisingly, my Dad was a big military history buff and a close follower of current events. He passed those passions on to my brother and me. By the time I reached my teen years, we would stay up, sometimes into the wee hours, discussing history’s great empires, battles and military leaders.

Israel's Ku Klux Klan

Our worst enemies come from our womb. And it proves yet again that no matter what your religion, race or creed, leftism trumps all. It infects and destroys the soul. These people worship at the church of liberalism, that is their G-d. How miserable they must be.

Michael Freund writes me the following, "The hypocrisy of Israel's left was on full display this past week as they sharply condemned the move by two Jewish families into an eastern Jerusalem neighborhood. Consider the absurdity of it all: To be liberal nowadays means to support imposing segregation in Jerusalem and prohibiting Jews from living in certain neighborhoods because they are Jews. And to be considered peace-loving, you must approve of restricting where Jews can purchase apartments. Go figure.

As I argue in the column below from the Jerusalem Post, it's time to call the Left on this point and challenge it to address the issue head-on. Let's stare down Israel's segregationist Left and its supporters, and compel them to face up to the folly of their position which, ironically enough, seems to have been taken straight out of the Ku Klux Klan's playbook".

Staring Down Israel's Segregationists By Michael Freund

The Left, once again, is in an uproar.

Along with its international comrades, it is bristling at the recent court-approved move by Jewish families into homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem.

This is in addition to the fury it expressed previously over plans to build apartments for Jews at the site of the privately owned Shepherd Hotel in the eastern part of the capital.

Mustering all the righteous anger at its disposal, the Left has now launched into a heated round of pious pontification, hurling invective and frenzied rhetoric as if the world itself were coming to an end.

The Ir Amim organization, for example, recently warned that if the Shepherd Hotel plan moves forward, it might "deal a fatal blow not only to [US President Barack] Obama's efforts but to the two-state solution."

No less hysterical was the reaction of Robert Serry, the UN's special envoy to the Middle East, who released a harshly worded statement saying: "I deplore the totally unacceptable actions by Israel in which Israeli security forces evicted Palestinian refugee families... to allow settlers to take possession of their properties."

Calling the move "provocative," Serry asserted that it will "heighten tensions" and "undermine international efforts" to bring about peace.

Have these people fallen on their heads?

A Convention of Killers: J Street, the J is for jihad

Harsh headline? The truth hurts and these abettors to a "final solution" for the Jewish people are worse than the kapos of the Nazi era. Kapos were forced to sell out the Jews in order to live. This "J" street is a voluntary "Jewish" organization created to facilitate the dismantling of Israel and support jihad.  J Street - the J is for jihad.

J-Street is going to have a convention in Washington. Here is a list of speakers:

Jonathan Chait, Senior Editor, The New Republic
Rep. Donna Edwards, Congresswoman from Maryland
Rep. Bob Filner, Congressman from California
Katrina Vanden Heuvel, Editor, The Nation
Ambassador Martin Indyk, Acting VP and Director, Foreign Policy, Brookings Institution; Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel
Senator John Kerry, Massachusetts *
Ezra Klein, The Washington Post
Eli Pariser, Former Director, MoveOn.org *
His Royal Highness Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid Al-Hussein, Ambassador of Jordan
Daniel Sokatch, Chief Executive Officer, Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties
Yuli Tamir, Deputy Speaker of the Knesset (Labor) and Former Minister of Immigrant Absorption
Matt Yglesias, Center for American Progress
Rabbi Eric Yoffie, President, Union for Reform Judaism 

Yoffie is particularly despicable. Jewicidal.

So Low

Who will speak for Jews in the American diaspora? The appointment of Alan Solow, a key supporter and confidante of Barack Obama, as chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, U.S. Jewry's most prominent voice in foreign and domestic policy issues, is the final nail in the coffin of American Jewish lay leadership. Why not Soros? Same thing. The function of  the American diaspora is to support Israel. Period. The Israelis are the ones on the front lines. The Israelis are smack dab in the middle of the ugliest, hellish hot spot in the world.  The Israelis are the ones meeting the endless violence of Islamic Jew hatred.

Sloppy, silly Jews like Solow have no right to sign off on a second holocaust - that's what the two state "final solution" is. An Islamic state, eating, breathing, inculcating, fomenting, feeding, teaching Jew hatred as its reason for living (and dying) in the very heart of Israel is a death sentence.

Solow speaking for the Jewish diaspora is a cruel, dangerous hoax. Any feeling, thinking caring Jew should not give  one dime to these traitors, not a cent. If I saw Solow or any of the other assclowns that were in the White House out on the street, I'd spit in their face.

The fix is in ..............

Solow, who once lived in Obama's neighborhood, is one of Obama's most veteran supporters, having backed his campaign for the Illinois State Senate a dozen years ago. 

[...]

The Chicago connection also figures in Solow's acquaintance with Obama White House chief of staff-designate Rahm Emanuel.

"He's simply the best person for this job, because of his experience in Congress and in Clinton's administration, and because of his intellect," Solow said of Emanuel, adding that "his support of Israel fits with the president-elect's thinking."

Z Street!

I did not blog about the kapos who descended on the White House to hand over the Jewish homeland to the jihad president. I have been describing these events for some time. It is not incumbent upon me to write of every action taken by enemies of the Jews, even when those enemies are Jews.

Yesterday the kapos signed off on the final solution. At White House, U.S. Jews offer little resistance to Obama policy on settlements.

These self loathing Jews ought to convert to Islam and leave us the hell alone. Instead, they pretend to speak for us, while paving the way for the final solution. But, the slick Obama didn't invite any real Jews to the White House ......... that J Street, the Soros antisemitic "Jewish" group was at the White House, but not ZOA (Zionist Organization of America), speaks volumes as to what Obama's goals are.

There is one piece of good news on the horizon ................

New Zionist Kid on the Block: 'Z Street' Supports Israel

by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz

(IsraelNN.com) A new Zionist organization declaring support for Jewish communities in all parts of the Land of Israel and opposition to negotiations with terrorists was formally launched last week. The group, going by the name Z Street, intends to "serve as an educational force" and "a proud banner" behind which Zionists can rally, according to its founding documents. The group's founders believe the current period is a "time of great danger to the Jewish State of Israel and, increasingly, to world Jewry," warranting the establishment of a new, unabashedly Zionist advocacy group.

"We need to show everyone that it isn't only those on the left who know how to organize," said Lori Lowenthal Marcus, a long-time Zionist activist and, with Allyson Rowen Taylor, a Z Street founder. Her point of reference, and the inspiration for the name Z Street, was the well-known Jewish-American far-left advocacy group J Street and its associated Capitol Hill political action committee.

J Street calls itself "the political arm of the pro-Israel, pro-peace movement," while promoting demands for Israeli territorial concessions and multilateralism.

In contrast, in her inaugural blog post on behalf of Z Street, Marcus declared: "No more appeasement, no more negotiating with terrorists, no more enabling cowards who fear offending more than they fear another Holocaust. Z Street is for those who are willing not only to support - but to defend - Israel, the Jewish State." Members hold the "firm belief that there can be no compromises or agreements with, and no concessions to, any terrorist entity or any individual terrorists."

Furthermore, the organization's charter makes specific note of the right of Jews to live in Judea, Samaria, the Golan Heights, Jerusalem and Gaza, all of which it calls "within greater Israel." Support for Israel's sovereignty, in the Z Street view, "necessarily entails adamantly opposing the dismantling of and/or handing over territory to any other entity or entities."

Declaring itself wholly volunteer and independent of any government, Z Street also intends to take a position identifying nations that fail to condemn terrorism against Israel as "active or passive supporters of a second genocide against the Jewish people." The group will reject links with any Israeli or Diaspora organizations or individuals "supporting the diminution or weakening of Israel either because of ideological conviction, animosity towards a strong, Jewish State, cowardice, or the misguided belief that compromise with terrorist entities can lead to peace in the Middle East or global peace."

Z Street's first major public act in the offline world is to be a pro-Israel rally at the White House on October 27, 2009. As noted by Jerry Gordon of The Iconoclast, that is the same week that J Street holds its first annual meeting in Washington D.C.

Riverdale Rabbi Slits Our Throats

How is this any different form the jihad against the Jews in Mumbai? Or Israel? Or Yemen? Or France? Or ................

How do JINO's (Jews in name only) Reconcile their Betrayal?

A year ago, a Jewish writer attacked me for saying that Obama was not pro-Israel. Now that he has been president for 100 days, how has that worked out? Here is what they wrote about me in May 2008 -- yeah, I'm the "crazy, inexplicably popular blogger"...lol:

False friends of Israel, on the other hand, go into a petit mal seizure at the slightest hint of deviation from a platform of dispatching all the Palestinians with extreme prejudice, and grand mal when that deviationism comes from a fellow Jew. So it only stands to reason that this crazy, inexplicably popular blogger would try to fulfill her service to Israel by smearing a better and truer Zionist than she could ever be, exclaiming: "JEWICIDAL JIHADI BENDS OVER, SUBMITS DEMANDS [sic] ISRAEL." And there's more! "Atlas" --- as she preposterously calls herself out of some deeply confused homage to a failed novelist-cum-failed philosopher who actually was a Jew who loathed Judaism --- wants to let us know that in addition to all his jihadi faggotry, Goldberg is also a "self-loathing" "jihadi" .....

There's more. How amusing to read this deranged post: Atlas Shrugs Blog: Where Sociopathy Gets Confused With Zionism here at a blog called Jewcy (it is anything but), written a year ago in May 2008. A silly tool by the name of Daniel Koffler rips Atlas for exposing Jewicidals shilling for Obama, and using epithets (ie faggotry) that I have never used. I had spent the better part of 18 months exposing Obama's anti-semitic allegiances, alliances, friendships, funding etc.

But Goldberg's deepest betrayal of his people, for which "Atlas" would call him a Kapo if she actually knew anything about Jewish history, is --- you guessed it --- explaining to the goyim that "Mr. Obama is actually more pro-Israel than either Ehud Olmert or Ehud Barak...[t]o say nothing of John McCain and President George W. Bush...." To which "Atlas" responds, staying classy, "Obama is more pro-Israel than Hitler maybe...."

It goes on and on in its condescending, sophomoric rhetoric. So here you have a leftist Jew deriding a proud zionist for fighting for Israel. Read the article. How does a schmuck like Koffler sleep nights selling out his own beleaguered people? At the time I did respond here: Loosey Jewcy Attack. But I think it a worthwhile exercise to read this fool's post and then review what has actually happened one year later.

Here are just a few highlights from the jihad sympathizing president's first 100 days:

Obama's National Security Adviser James Jones told a European foreign minister that Obama is planning to build an anti-Israel coalition with the Arabs and Europe to compel Israel to surrender Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem to the Palestinians. (more here)

SINCE IT came into office a month ago, every single Middle East policy the Obama administration has announced has been antithetical to Israel's national security interests. From President Barack Obama's intense desire to appease Iran's mullahs in open discussions; to his stated commitment to establish a Palestinian state as quickly as possible despite the Palestinians' open rejection of Israel's right to exist and support for terrorism; to his expressed support for the so-called Saudi peace plan, which would require Israel to commit national suicide by contracting to within indefensible borders and accepting millions of hostile, foreign-born Arabs as citizens and residents of the rump Jewish state; to his decision to end US sanctions against Syria and return the US ambassador to Damascus; to his plan to withdraw US forces from Iraq and so give Iran an arc of uninterrupted control extending from Iran to Lebanon, every single concrete policy Obama has enunciated harms Israel. (Glick here)

.........the US is curtailing its military aid to Israel. Under new Pentagon guidelines, the Ministry of Defense must give a detailed accounting of how it uses every item it purchases with US aid money. As a consequence, the Defense Ministry issued new instructions to the IDF that from now Israel's purchases from the US will be limited to defensive armaments and systems aimed at preserving its "qualitative edge" against its enemies." (more here)

Obama's Plan to Destroy Israel

In another shocking blow to Israel, the Obama administration has announced reversal of an important policy toward Israel, one that weakens that nation's ability to survive in its hostile neighborhood. 

As long as Israel was thought to possess nuclear weapons, enemies might be reluctant to try to destroy Israel. During the 1973 War, it was rumored that the mere threat of Israel resorting to nuclear weapons led to a massive resupply effort by America and to the willingness of Israel's enemies to agree to a truce. Surrounded by numerically superior nations -- and an Arab world that can afford to buy the best weapons from around the world -- the rumored possession by Israel of an atomic bomb(s) has probably warded off further warfare and bloodshed. Every US administration has acquiesced in this policy, seeing it as a sensible of a nation that rose from the ashes of the Holocaust and one that was surrounded by neighbors promising to commit another. There have been winks and nods, even going back to the Kennedy years, about Israel's stance.

Now that policy has finally been threatened -- not by the raft of traditional enemies and international organizations that have always advocated that Israel sign the agreement, but by the Obama administration.

GINGRCH "OBAMA ENDANGERING ISRAEL"  (hat tip Mike)

Former US House speaker Newt Gingrich on Sunday blasted the Obama administration for setting itself on a collision course with Israel and endangering the Jewish state, ahead of his address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

"They are systematically setting up the most decisive confrontation that we've ever seen," the leading Republican politician told The Jerusalem Post, referring to news reports about the administration's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Obama Wants Hamas as a Partner

Hagmann appeared on Israel National Radio's Weekend Edition with host Tamar Yonah.

When questioned about the possible abandonment of Israel by America, Hagmann told Yonah, "The Obama administration is no friend to Israel, is no friend to the Jews in America and is no friend to democracy or freedom in America.  …Just by his very appointments, we can see him filling positions of power with people who are anti-Semitic, who want to see Israel essentially dissolved as a nation, if not by diplomacy, then certainly by war."

In his report, the unnamed intelligence source told Hagmann, “I have every reason to believe, based on what I’ve seen at my level of [security] clearance especially over the last several years, that Israel will soon be completely on their own… or worse.” He explained this would happen “when our administration provides more support to Arab countries [with] financial and military aid, undercutting Israel’s defense efforts all while pushing Israel to succumb to the pressure of unreasonable demands designed to end with their political annihilation as a nation.” 

[...]

The intelligence officer explained that the  turnover of American policy towards Israel could occur through a manner that he dubbed 'malicious intelligence," which Haggman defined as information that is taken from its raw form. It then is morphed into something else to promote different interests, "where intelligence and politics meet and often collide,” he said.  A method “that has been molded and massaged to advance the agendas of a select few,” he elaborated.

In the case of the relationship between America and Israel, he noted, malicious intelligence is being used to turn over the U.S. to a more anti-Israel policy and forge ahead with a more pro-PA or pro-Islamist one. 

Israel's chief of staff cuts short trip after doors close in Obama's Washington

32% of Democrats blame Jews for Financial Crisis

The Madoff effect. The jihad loving media played the Madoff factor to the hilt. Former chairman of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, James Johnson, Franklin Raines, David Gregory's wife Elizabeth Gregory, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Geithner ...................all of those crooks get off scot-free, but the crook who robbed the Jews (Madoff) becomes the icon for the global financial crisis.

Jewish Democrats are peckerheads. They will be cheering Obama and kissing his ring as he shoves them onto the trains.

Survey: Jews are Blamed for Economic Crisis Israel National News by Hillel Fendel

(IsraelNN.com) A survey conducted by the Boston Review in its May/June issue shows that nearly 25% of American non-Jews blame “the Jews” a moderate amount or more for the financial crisis.

Furthermore, a total of 38.4% of the non-Jews in the U.S. attribute at least some level of blame to the group.

Possibly most significant of all were the subconscious anti-Semitic tendencies revealed based on the way the questions were phrased to different groups.

Neil Malhotra, Assistant Professor of Political Economy in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University, and Dr. Yotam Margalit of Stanford University, conducted the study. It was part of a survey of 2,768 American adults exploring responses and anti-Semitic sentiments vis-à-vis the economic collapse. 

They found that Democrats were significantly more prone to blaming Jews than Republicans: while 32% of Democrats accorded at least moderate blame, compared to only 18.4% of Republicans.

The researchers carried out a fascinating experiment in the course of the study.  The goal was to see what happens when Wall Street corruption is explicitly associated with Jewish financiers such as Bernard Madoff; would that affect people’s views on bailing out big business?

To address this question, they randomly assigned national survey participants to one of three groups. All three were prompted with a one-paragraph news report that briefly described the Madoff scandal, and were then asked their views about providing government tax breaks to big business in order to spur job creation.

The text of the paragraph about Madoff had slight differences for the three groups: The first group was told that Madoff is an “American investor” who contributed to “educational charities,” the second group was told that he is a “Jewish-American investor” who contributed to “educational charities,” and the third group was told that Madoff is an “American investor” who contributed to “Jewish educational charities.”

The findings were “revealing and disturbing,” the researchers wrote. Those people who were told explicitly that Madoff is Jewish were almost twice as likely to oppose the tax cuts to big business. While only 10% those who were given no information about his Jewishness said they opposed tax cuts for big business, over 17% of those who were told that Madoff is Jewish opposed the gestures to big business. “This difference is highly significant in statistical terms,” the researchers conclude.

To complete the picture, the “middle” group – those who were told that Madoff was an American who gave to Jewish charities – produced a 14% opposition rate.

When Jewish respondents were assigned to the three groups, they had “the exact same policy preferences in all three groups,” wrote Margalit and Malhotra.  Nor were there any differences between the groups on other proposals that did not deal with the business sector, but rather with federal support for state governments or with tax breaks for the middle class. 

The researchers noted that the greater tendency among Democrats than Republicans to blame Jews is “somewhat surprising, given the presumed higher degree of racial tolerance among liberals, and the fact that Jews are a central part of the Democratic Party’s electoral coalition.

ADL Stabs Israel's Staunchest Ally, Geert Wilders, and Jews Along with him Again

Righteous Gentile Geert Wilders, speaking this past weekend in a synagogue.

The ADL does not speak for Jews. The jewicidal, irresponsible leftopathic "Jews" over at the ADL have once again stabbed us in the back and come out against the staunchest Israel supporter and leader of the world counter jihad movement, Geert Wilders.

This is a mental disorder of the highest order. Atlas readers write me all the time asking how Jews can be Democrats or leftists. What must be understood is their "religion" is their dogma. These are not Jews, they worship at the church of human secularism. They define self-hating Jew (neo-kapo is apt here too).

Abe Foxman, the proverbial fox in the hen-house, has categorically denied the Armenian genocide and fired those at the ADL that did not go along. Imagine that, a Jew denying genocide. That's a  vile sin. These Jews in name only are traitors.

The ADL came out in support of the Islamic school in Brooklyn whose principal was forced to resign because of her involvement in Intifada NYC tee shirts (here).

I STRONGLY URGE any Jewish or Gentile readers who donate to this cause to STOP and urge your family members and friends to not give one dime to this Brutus. This is the same "Stephen Wise" Jewish mentality that sold us out and delivered us into the hands of the Third Reich during WWII. It was Wise who prevailed, not Peter Bergson.

Will the American diaspora repeat the same ghastly mistake again while Shoah victims still walk the earth? Foxman leadership and American Jewish lay leadership who align with the terror force must be vanquished.

The ADL has a notorious reputation of being loyal to their leftist, liberal dogma before the survival of the Jewish people. See Kapo. Self hating bastards.

ADL Condemns Anti-Islam Remarks Made by Dutch Parliamentarian During Appearances in S. Florida

Date: April 28, 2009

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) strongly condemns remarks made over the last few days at various appearances throughout South Florida by Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders.  In his speeches, he claimed that "Islam is not a religion" and "the right to religious freedom should not apply to this totalitarian ideology called Islam."  Mr. Wilders also stated that the Koran is a book of hatred, and that Mohammed was both "a pedophile and a warlord."

Israel has no greater friend on the International stage than the Honorable Geert Wilders. Here is what Wilders said in Florida about Israel:

Ladies and Gentlemen, there is one country in our Western Civilization that has been forced to fight the forces of Jihad for its values since the very day of its existence: Israel the Canary in the Coal Mine. Let me say a few words about that wonderful country.

I had the privilege myself to live in Israel for a few years and since then I have visited that country many many times.. Why? Because I love it, I do love Israel.

However, in Europe, being Pro-American, being Pro-Israel makes you an endangered species. Israel is a Beacon of Light in an area, the Middle East, that is pitch black everywhere else.

Israel is a Western Democracy, whilst Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and all the other countries in the region are medieval dictatorships. And the so -called Middle East conflict, as you all know it, is not about land at all. It's a conflict about, once again, about ideologies. It's a conflict and a battle between Islam and Freedom. It's not about some land in Gaza or Judea or Samaria, it's about Jihad.

To Islam the whole of Israel is occupied territory. They see Tel Aviv and Haifa as settlements as well, and I am very much in favor of a two state settlement solution but then the two state solution from Winston Churchill in 1921, when Palestine was partitioned into a Jewish and an Arab part, Arab Palestine, Ladies and Gentlemen, is now called Jordan and I think that Jordan is the Palestinian State.

Islam forces Israel to fight. Israel is not just fighting for itself, Israel is fighting for all of us, for the entire West, just like those brave American soldiers who landed in Sicily in 1943 and stormed the Normandy beaches in 1944.

Young Israeli men today, young Israeli Women today, are fighting for our freedom, are fighting for our civilization, and like Bosnia, like Kosovo, like Nigeria, like Sudan, like the Caucasus, like Kashmir, like Southern Thailand, like Western China and the South of the Philippines, Israel is situated exactly on the dividing line between Dar al -Islam, the Islamic World and Da al-Harb the non-Islamic World. It is no coincidence that it is precisely this dividing line, where blood is flowing and war is raging in many many areas.

And, we have to get rid of that politically correct fallacy that it is all about separate conflicts, it's not. Let us please allow ourselves at least to see the big picture, which is, that all those conflicts, have to do with Jihad, Jihad in the spirit of Mohammed. Ladies and Gentlemen, Europe ought to fully back Israel to the hilt and (???help) us fight against those that threaten it, whether it's Hezbollah, whether it's Hamas, or Nuclear Iran. Also, because of it's history, Europe has certainly the moral duty and obligation to prevent at all cost, another Holocaust against the Jewish people.

ADL 'strongly condemns Geert Wilders' message of hate against Islam'

WASHINGTON, April 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today commended the Florida office of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for condemning the anti-Islam hate of a speaker who was recently given a standing ovation at a synagogue in that state.

Earlier this week, CAIR called on members of the Jewish community to condemn "Nazi-like" statements by Dutch extremist politician Geert Wilders made recently at a Palm Beach, Fla., synagogue. In the speech, Wilders claimed that "Islam is not a religion" and "the right to religious freedom should not apply to this totalitarian ideology called Islam," all to the applause of the audience.

SEE: CAIR: Hate Speech Applauded at Florida Synagogue In a statement, ADL Florida Regional Director Andrew Rosenkranz said:

"The ADL strongly condemns Geert Wilders' message of hate against Islam as inflammatory, divisive and antithetical to American democratic ideals. This rhetoric is dangerous and incendiary, and wrongly focuses on Islam as a religion, as opposed to the very real threat of extremist, radical Islamists."

CAIR touting American democratic ideals? Now that's rich. They invoke freedom of speech to kill freedom of speech.

SEE: ADL Condemns Anti-Islam Remarks Made by Dutch Parliamentarian During Appearances in S. Florida

"We commend the ADL for its repudiation of Geert Wilders' Islamophobic views and ask all those who promoted his message of hate to recognize the negative impact such intolerance has on our society," said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper.

UPDATE: Dr. Andrew Bostom has more on the dhimmi assclown  Fox-moron who gave the Jew hating Maskomya Erdogan an award in 2005:

Anti-Semitism has no place in Turkey.  It is alien to our culture," Mr. Erdogan said in accepting the League's Courage to Care Award, which pays tribute to those who risked their lives to save thousands of Jews during the Holocaust.  Mr. Erdogan accepted the honor at ADL's National Headquarters in New York City at a ceremony attended by various high-level Turkish government ministers, U.N. diplomats and leaders of the Turkish and American Jewish communities.

"The Turkish nation has been living for centuries with the Jewish people and will continue its close and friendly relations with them in the future and will struggle together with them against any racism with determination," Mr. Erdogan said.  "It is the task of leaders around the world to join me in condemning the spread of hatred, whether through publications or otherwise.  Our consistent policy towards anti-Semitic diatribes can be nothing short of zero tolerance."

Current Prime Minister Erdogan, in 1974, while serving as president of the Istanbul Youth Group of his mentor Erbakan's National Salvation Party, wrote, directed, and played the leading role in a theatrical play entitled Maskomya, staged throughout Turkey during the 1970s. Mas-Kom-Ya was a compound acronym for "Masons-Communists-Yahudi [Jews]", and the play focused on the evil, conspiratorial nature of these three entities whose common denominator was Judaism.

And recently, when the wildly popular, most expensive film ever made in Turkey Valley of the Wolves (released February, 2006) included a "cinematic motif" which featured an American Jewish doctor dismembering Iraqis supposedly murdered by American soldiers in order to harvest their organs for Jewish markets, Prime Minister Erdogan not only failed to condemn the film, he justified its production and popularity.

The Armenian genocide denial “strategy” of Mr. Foxman and the ADL has succeeded, perversely, in further isolating Jews, while failing, abysmally, to alter a virulently Antisemitic Turkish religious (i.e., Islamic), and secular culture—the latter perhaps best exemplified by the wildly popular, and most expensive film ever made in Turkey, “Valley of the Wolves” (released February, 2006) which features an American Jewish doctor dismembering Iraqis supposedly murdered by American soldiers in order to harvest their organs for Jewish markets. Prime Minister Erdogan not only failed to condemn the film, he justified its production and popularity. This is the same Mr. Erdogan who in 1974, then serving as president of the Istanbul Youth Group of the Islamic fundamentalist National Salvation Party wrote, directed, and played the leading role in a theatrical play entitled Maskomya, staged throughout Turkey during the 1970s. Mas-Kom-Ya was a compound acronym for “Masons-Communists-Yahudi [Jews]”, and the play focused on the evil, conspiratorial nature of these three entities whose common denominator was Judaism.

Yet ADL ignores the plight of Turkish Jews, defends Erdogan, and apparently still believes Erdogan’s “moderate Islamic” regime remains a committed ally of Israel. Is this silence on Turkish Antisemitism, and the immoral denial of the Armenian genocide Foxman’s Faustian bargain for Turkey’s dubious “support” of Israel?

As a Jew, I find the ongoing efforts by Mr. Foxman and the ADL to deny recognition of the Armenian genocide morally repugnant, ignorant, and particularly inappropriate for an organization geared to reducing, as opposed to abetting and fomenting Antisemitism, and other forms of irrational hatred.

JIHAD JEWISH LEADERSHIP: "DURBAN DUPLOMACY"

The Jewish lay leadership has, for years, been failing, misinforming and deceiving the Jewish American diaspora. I am thrilled that Glick, Phillips and Bayefsky have finally called these assclowns on their complicity with Jew haters. I have been railing on these kapos for years. They have been selling their brothers down the river for years (Mort Klein not included in this motley crew of craven sellouts.)

Durban II Alert
A Response to David Harris (AJC)

By Caroline Glick, Melanie Phillips and Anne Bayefsky (J Post)

It stands to reason that that David Harris would be sensitive to criticism of the AJC's participation in planning "Durban II." [David Harris blog, "Durban Diplomacy", March 15, 2009] After all, by taking part in the Durban II planning process on a US government delegation, AJC contemptuously ignored repeated calls from Israel's Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Minister Isaac Herzog for the United States government to stay away and announce it will not participate, period. Israel's priority, and the priority of much of the American Jewish community was to delegitimize the hate-fest, not place an AJC representative on its planning committee.

The fact of the matter is that the only reason the US made a tactical retreat from the process was the pressure created by criticisms such as ours, along with protests made by Israel, Canada, and other American Jewish organizations and leaders.

For more than a year, the AJC has conducted an extensive lobbying campaign of the American government and of foreign governments to stay in Durban II.

On December 11, 2008 Harris told The Jerusalem Post: "We can't afford to declare Durban II lost without more focus on diplomacy." On January 12, 2009 the AJC's human rights arm, the Blaustein Institute, wrote to Secretary Clinton and UN Ambassador Susan Rice: "The Durban Review Conference provides an opportunity to review states' progress in the implementation of their commitments to combat racism made in 2001... While some organizations are calling for a US boycott, we believe that is the wrong decision at this time." As recently as February 22, 2009 Harris told the Post: "Our position on Durban II is clear. We have publicly praised France and the Netherlands, among other countries, for insisting on clear red lines and threatening to withdraw if they are breached."

If they are breached? The AJC's own UN monitoring body, UN Watch, reported the breach had occurred on October 28, 2008, in a report aptly called "Shattering the Red Lines: The Durban II Draft Declaration." Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice-chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations told the Post on December 11, 2008: "We clearly see that all the red lines that have been enumerated by the Europeans have been violated."

Under the guise of ever-shifting red lines (that in any incarnation Israel and the rest of the Jewish world understood were crossed long ago), AJC has caused great damage to Israel's diplomatic standing.

Contrary to much misinformation, the fact of the matter is that the Obama administration has not made a final decision about whether it will attend Durban II. Its recent departure from the planning sessions in Geneva left the door open for cosmetic changes to the text of the conference declaration that, if made, would allow its negotiators to claim a spurious victory.

The key point which Harris chooses to ignore is that the agreed objective of Durban II is to reaffirm and implement the 2001 Durban Declaration. That document singles out Israel for censure and says that Palestinians are victims of Israeli racism. Consequently any attempted sanitizing of the latest text will be worthless, since by definition the new Declaration will re-affirm the 2001 singling out and demonization of Israel.

Then too, Harris's claim that the US's tactical withdrawal from the planning sessions will make other nations more likely to walk away from Durban II is both incorrect and misleading. The ambiguity of the US's current position has held back the Australians and the British from withdrawing since they do not want to be double-crossed by an Obama administration that eventually attends. Absent a clear American stand, the French and the Germans are putting enormous pressure on Italy and the Netherlands not to break ranks with the rest of the EU - which have no intention of leaving. Initial suggestions by both countries that they would not go are now in doubt.

Worse still, as a quid pro quo for its tactical retreat from Durban II, the US is on the verge of announcing that it will run for a seat (election is a foregone conclusion) on the UN Human Rights Council - a move strongly advocated by none other than the AJC's human rights institute. In the words of an AJC press release January 29, 2007: "The human rights arm of the American Jewish Committee is urging the United States to seek membership on the UN Human Rights Council." The Council has adopted more resolutions and decisions condemning Israel than all other 191 UN member states combined. By joining the UN Human Rights Council, the Obama administration will be legitimizing a body dedicated to the delegitimization of Israel.

It is shameful that the AJC has chosen to join this cynical and sinister process, whose outcome can only be to weaken Israel and strengthen her enemies. And it is outrageous that the AJC has sought to defend its participation in the process by attacking those who point out the consequences of its actions.

No one knows whether the Obama administration or other Western governments will finally stand their ground against pro-Durban, anti-Jewish and anti-democratic forces. What is certain, however, is that if the Obama administration, European countries or Australia do decide to stay out and the West thus finally says no to the substance of Durban I, it will be through the efforts of all those who have tried to delegitimize the process rather than those whose actions have effectively helped an unconscionable exercise come to fruition.

OT but related: Jewish Organizations Are Failing the Jews

Anti-Semitism sweeps across the West and most Jewish groups are more concerned about glad-handing and global warming.

OUT JEWICIDAL LIAR! GARY ACKERMAN SPREADS JEWISH BLOOD LIBEL - DEMAND HIS RETRACTION!

Kudos to Elizabeth Berney, candidate for Congress, for exposing the Democrat JINO (Jew in name only) anti-semite Gary Ackerman. We must out these enemies of our people. This slob is more interested in furthering his political ambitions with an antisemitic administration than he is in the survival of his own people.

He is the lowest of the low. We need to broadcast the evils of this glutton and rid ourselves of this pox on our people. He has the audacity to show up at Israel rallies, speak at AIPAC, all the while behind the scenes he is feeding and supporting the Arabic/Islamic narrative. There is where Jewish lay leadership fails us -- why invite this enemy to and give him the imprimatur of friend of Israel when he is nothing of the kind?

We expect this betrayal and lies from anti-semites. When blood libels come from a traitorous fraud who uses his Judaism to further his career among his Jewish constituents while stabbing us in the back, he must be made to pay a political price. He will answer to a higher authority.

We must support candidates like Berney who is decent and good. It's time to stop giving a free pass to cretins like Ackerman. Destroy the political career of turncoat opportunists like this pig.

CONGRESSMAN ACKERMAN: WE DEMAND THAT YOU IMMEDIATELY RETRACT YOUR FALSE ACCUSATION THAT ISRAEL PERPETRATED “POGROMS” AGAINST PALESTINIANS.

At a Congressional hearing this week, Congressman Gary Ackerman, Chair of the Mideast Subcommittee, falsely accused Israel of perpetrating “pogroms” against Palestinians. On Feb. 12, 2009, The Jewish Telegraphic News Agency reported:

“Ackerman slams settlements, Israeli attitudes,”

Settler "pogroms," settlement building and Israeli intransigence are joined with Palestinian terrorism in a "downward spiral," a top U.S. Jewish congressman said.

Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House of Representatives Middle East subcommittee, made clear in a subcommittee hearing Thursday that he was not trying to draw a moral equivalence between Israeli hard-liners and Palestinian terrorists, "but they are all part of the same destructive dynamic."

In his opening statement, Ackerman described "downward pressure" that "comes from terrorism and the march of settlements. It comes from the firing of rockets and the perpetration of settler pogroms. It comes in daily images of destruction and the constant reiteration that 'they only understand the language of force.' " . . . .

Please join attorney Elizabeth (Liz) Berney in demanding that Congressman Gary Ackerman should immediately retract his outrageous false accusations that Israelis perpetrated “pogroms” on Palestinians. The accusation that Israelis committed such atrocities is totally untrue. This is the type of blood libel which has been used to instigate attacks on Jews around the world, similar to the false accusations in 2000 that Israelis killed al Dura (proven to be false in a trial in France), which were the pretext for Muslim riots and attacks on Jews in France. The libel that Israeli settlers perpetrated pogroms is also reminiscent of the false accusations of a "massacre" in Jenin, which never occurred. Ackerman should immediately publicly retract his false statements and issue an apology to Israel and all the people in our district who are outraged at his comments.

Elizabeth Berney, Esq.

Here is Elizabeth Berney's full oped piece.

OP ED By Elizabeth Berney, Esq.

CONGRESSMAN ACKERMAN SHOULD IMMEDIATELY RETRACT HIS FALSE ACCUSATION THAT ISRAEL PERPETRATED “POGROMS” AGAINST PALESTINIANS

Words can be very powerful - and can be very destructive. History has shown us the incredible damage that a false accusation can do. When I was a child, my father often spoke of his experience growing up in Germany in the 1930s. In the newspapers, the schools, and everywhere one went, citizens were bombarded with vicious accusations against Jews and characterizations of Jews as dirty and deceitful. Delegitimizing those of the Jewish faith with such accusations was the first step which led to the physical destruction of a whole people.

Like many people in our Congressional district, I was thus horrified and outraged this week when Congressman Gary Ackerman falsely accused Israelis of perpetrating “pogroms” against Palestinians at his Congressional hearing on the Mideast. See here.

The accusation that Israelis committed such atrocities is totally untrue. This is the type of blood libel which has been spouted all too frequently in recent years, and used to instigate attacks on Jews (and Westerners) around the world. The “pogrom” accusation is similar to the false accusations in 2000 that Israelis killed al Dura (proven to be false in a trial in France), which were the pretext for extremist Muslim riots and physical attacks on Jews in France after the libel was broadcasted there. Those attacks have continued to this day, stoked by further false accusations. The Paris police department is now reporting 10 to 12 anti-Jewish incidents per day, including numerous beatings. Synagogues and Jewish Centers in Saint Denis (near Paris), Montpellier, Strasbourg and Marseilles were recently firebombed. The recent libel that Israeli settlers perpetrated pogroms is also reminiscent of the false accusations of a "massacre" in Jenin, which never occurred, which has also been used as a pretext for attacking Israelis and Israel’s supporters.

Ackerman’s comments this week are especially damaging because they came from the Jewish head of the House Mideast Subcommittee who sometimes professes to care about Israel, which gives his untruths the appearance of credibility. His accusations that Israelis perpetrated “pogroms” are already being quoted on the Internet by those who want to destroy Israel. We have enough problems here already without Ackerman adding fuel to the fire. In the last months, we saw “demonstrations” in Ft. Lauderdale and other American cities, in which Muslim extremists screamed “death to the Jews” and “Jews to the ovens” (videos of which are available on the Internet).

One of the reasons why I ran against Ackerman in 2008 was his promotion of sending our U.S. tax dollars to the Palestinian Authority despite the fact that the P.A. gives 40% of the funds it receives from international donors to Hamas, and some of Ackerman’s prior accusations against Israel in Congressional hearings. Still, this latest statement shocked me to the core, and has alarmed many people in our community. Ackerman should immediately publicly retract his false statements and issue a public apology to Israel and all the people in our district who are outraged at his comments, before these comments do even more harm.

Elizabeth Berney is a securities fraud and consumer safety attorney, writer and violinist, residing in Great Neck. She was the Republican candidate for Congress who ran against Gary Ackerman in 2008. She is currently considering running again in 2010.

Ackerman palling around with Israel hater Lebanese President Michel Suleiman, Dec. 13, 2008.

In his inaugural speech to parliament, Suleiman affirmed the right of the Hezbollah-led "resistance" to confront Israel and obtain a disputed piece of property under Israeli occupation called the Shebaa Farms:

The continuing occupation of Shebaa Farms and the breaches and threats by the enemy [Israel] compel us to find a defense strategy that protects the nation coupled with a calm dialog to benefit from the competence of the resistance so that the achievements of the resistance are not consumed in internal struggles. And this way we can preserve its values and its national position.

He also said Lebanon would continue to refuse to grant the 400,000 Palestinians living in Lebanon passports in order to keep alive their dream of returning to a viable Palestinian state:

Our rejection of giving them nationality is not a rejection of hosting of our brothers the Palestinians and caring for their human rights, but an establishment of their right of return when a viable state is formed.

J Street's Director Alterman Proud Annihilationist: Threatens a Reader

J Street, aka Judenrein Street, the relatively new "Jewish" lobby, is not a "Jewish" lobby at all.

CBS 60 MINUTES JEWISH BLOOD LIBEL: THEY SHOULD BE INDICTED FOR INCITEMENT TO SECOND HOLOCAUST

Nazi propaganda took a sharp turn last night. CBS 60 Minutes set the stage for President Hussein and his Arab point man George Mitchell to put the screws to Israel.

Last night's story totally smeared Israel as warlike in regard to settlements and evil with regard to violating 'Palestinian"  rights. BTW,  they are not "settlers", they are Jews living in the Jewish homeland. Period. (hat tip Ken)

Drunk on jihad. Look at Simon's face -- you can see him manning the gates at Auschwitz Birkenau with his hat on straight.

BOB SIMON: Palestinians say they can't have a state with Israeli settlers all over it, which the settlers say is precisely the idea.

Notice how they say the Jews have to leave the land. The Jews have to be expelled from Judea and Samaria (Jewish land) but Muslims, Arabs etc. live in Israel and have the freedom to conduct mass demonstrations against Israeli policy! Bob Jew hater Simon says the Jews can't live there ............ why? Simon never mentions Islamic antisemitism and the vow to destroy Israel. Simon never mentions all the Jews expelled from Gaza and the gorgeous successful state Gaza turned out to be. Jew hater Simon never mentions the 950,000 Jews expelled from Arab lands ...

"I think that settlements prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state in the land of Israel. This is the goal. And this is the reality," Weiss told 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon.

See photos at the bottom of this post.

Bob Simon's 60 Minutes did a through hatchet job on the Gaza situation. Harcourt wrote me,

 Simon basically served as a Hamas-idal shill - saying that Israel has 3 choices: (i) ethnic cleansing, (ii) democratically including all Gazans and West Bankers in its elections or (iii) becoming an Apartheid state. Of course, the Apartheid remark comes with a visual of the separation wall and the "humiliating" checkpoints that Israel has. Very little mention of the full-scale continuing war that Palestinians have against Israel or that, before the wall, pizza joints and discos and buses were being blown up. No mention of how, by his example, the USA is an "Apartheid State", shamelessly keeping vigilance at its southern border and not letting in everyone who wants to emigrate from Yemen, for example. Feh, and double-feh.

 It would not be surprising that anyone without an in-depth understanding of the Gazan situation and Hamas/Hezbullah and Iran (i.e., most of the world) would come away from this with an extreme distaste of Israel and a love of Hamas.

It would be funny if not so biased. He has one scene where Israeli soldiers allegedly have taken temporary possession of a Palestinian's home to scout out a disturbance in the valley below it. The Palestinian comes to the door, but says he is in "prison" in his own house and cannot leave. Apparently, however, he is not so in prison that he can't answer the door and have an interview with a news correspondent. Also, no mention of what "disturbance" was occurring below that would necessitate the alleged "occupation" of this man's home.

Israel and the Jewish people should start suing these "media" organizations for their anti-semitic propaganda and incitement to Jewish genocide.

A word of advice to the Jewish American diaspora - you better pull your heads out of asses fast and back Israel hard, or you will have nowhere to go (see voyage of the damned Time Running Out For A Two-State Solution?
60 Minutes: Growing Number Of Israelis, Palestinians Say Two-State Solution Is No Longer Possible

CBS (CBS) Getting a peace deal in the Middle East is such a priority to President Obama that his first foreign calls on his first day in office were to Arab and Israeli leaders. And on day two, the president made former Senator George Mitchell his special envoy for Middle East peace. Mr. Obama wants to shore up the ceasefire in Gaza, but a lasting peace really depends on the West Bank where Palestinians had hoped to create their state. The problem is, even before Israel invaded Gaza, a growing number of Israelis and Palestinians had concluded that peace between them was no longer possible, that history had passed it by. For peace to have a chance, Israel would have to withdraw from the West Bank, which would then become the Palestinian state.

It’s known as the "two-state" solution. But, while negotiations have been going on for 15 years, hundreds of thousands of Jewish settlers have moved in to occupy the West Bank. Palestinians say they can't have a state with Israeli settlers all over it, which the settlers say is precisely the idea.

Daniella Weiss moved from Israel to the West Bank 33 years ago. She has been the mayor of a large settlement.

"I think that settlements prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state in the land of Israel. This is the goal. And this is the reality," Weiss told 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon.

Though settlers and Palestinians don't agree on anything, most do agree now that a peace deal has been overtaken by events.

"While my heart still wants to believe that the two-state solution is possible, my brain keeps telling me the opposite because of what I see in terms of the building of settlements. So, these settlers are destroying the potential peace for both people that would have been created if we had a two-state solution," Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, once a former candidate for Palestinian president, told Simon.

And he told 60 Minutes Israel's invasion of Gaza - all the death and destruction - convinces him that Israel does not want a two-state solution. "My heart is deeply broken, and I am very worried that what Israel has done has furthered us much further from the possibility of [a] two-state solution."

Palestinians had hoped to establish their state on the West Bank, an area the size of Delaware. But Israelis have split it up with scores of settlements, and hundreds of miles of new highways that only settlers can use. Palestinians have to drive - or ride - on the older roads.

When they want to travel from one town to another, they have to submit to humiliating delays at checkpoints and roadblocks. There are more than 600 of them on the West Bank.

Asked why there are so many checkpoints, Dr. Barghouti said, "I think the main goal is to fragment the West Bank. Maybe a little bit of them can be justified because they say it's for security. But I think the vast majority of them are basically to block the movement of people from one place to another."

Here's how they block Barghouti: he was born in Jerusalem, grew up in Jerusalem and worked in a hospital there for 14 years. Four years ago he moved to a town just 10 miles away, but now, because he no longer lives in Jerusalem, he can't get back in - ever.

He says he can't get a permit to go. "I asked for a permit to go to Jerusalem during the last year, the last years about 16 times. And 16 times they were rejected. Like most Palestinians, I don't have a permit to go to the city I was born in, to the city I used to work in, to the city where my sister lives."

What he's up against are scores of Israeli settlements dominating the lowlands like crusader fortresses. Many are little cities, and none of them existed 40 years ago. The Israelis always take the high ground, sometimes the hills, and sometimes the homes. And sometimes Arabs are occupied inside their own homes.

WE NEED NEW JEWISH LEADERSHIP IN THE DIASPORA

Our Jewish leadership has failed us miserably. One only has to look at the lack of response to Israel's latest defensive to see we are lost. We have failed the Jewish youth who haven't a clue as to who we are and why we must fight for our survival. I attend these rallies - the Muslim youth come out in full jihad drag. It is an event, a destination - theater. Jewish youth is conspicuously absent. Why wasn't Hoelien in front of the curve on this? Why wasn't he helping to organize counter protests against the onslaught of Jewish genocide rallies? Why didn't he rally the Jewish day schools, Hebrew schools, synagogues, Christian zionists, Pastor Hagee, friends of Israel  to come together and march against this scourge?

Instead he'll put together a conference call to spout Olmerde defeatist policy positions. That is not what the Jewish diaspora should be doing. We should be fiercely defending our RIGHT TO FIGHT FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

WE NEED PROUD, UNAPOLOGETIC, VIGOROUS JEWS TO LEAD OUR PEOPLE NOW. Mr. Hoelein, please step aside for the sake of the Jews.

I call on Malcolm Hoenlein to resign. He must see what a disaster his legacy is. It is irrelevant to me if his heart was in the right place; he failed badly. His cowardice and ineffective leadership has hurt the Jewish people. Remember the Palin fiasco back in September?  Hoelein was bulied into canceling Sarah Palin, a  great American and friend to Israel at an anti-Ahmadinejad rally. "Leaders" like Hoenlein will/can never get anything meaningful accomplished. His time is over.

Back in June of 2006, I did a post on Jewish Survival, a terrible question. I was right then, and I am right now.

Israel  faces existential threats. Iranian nuclear weaponization is either here or  imminent. We need real leadership and that is why Malcolm Hoenlein 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, 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.

Malcolm consistently defers to the increasingly hostile to Israel and the Jewish left. When it comes to Jewish survival, the left is irrelevant: RASMUSSEN POLL:MOST DEMOCRATS OPPOSE ISRAELI DEFENSE, 62% OF REPUBLICANS SUPPORT ISRAEL

Beth Gilinksy is calling for action:

PRESIDENTS OF JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS MUST ORGANIZE MAJOR RALLY AND OTHER INITIATIVES NOW TO STAND IN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL'S WAR AGAINST HAMAS TERROR

New York, January 4, 2008 -- The Jewish Action Alliance is calling on the leaders of all American Jewish organizations, and particularly Malcolm Hoenlein and the constituent groups of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, not to delay further in working together to call a major demonstration in support of Israel.

"As pro-Hamas and pro-jihadist activists organize hateful anti-Semitic rallies here in America and around the globe, it is incumbent upon Jewish leadership to stand together powerfully in solidarity with Israel in her defensive war against Palestinian Arab terrorism and Islamist threats calling for Israel's destruction," stated Action Alliance president Beth Gilinsky yesterday.

"Further, Jewish leaders must immediately and vigorously address the disturbing new phenomenon of Muslim Americans and their supporters using the public streets of America to threaten rape, torture and long-suffering death to Jewish bystanders, something never before seen in the history of America.  Where are the "Never Again!" Jewish leaders when dangerous circumstances demand their action?"

Gilinsky notes the following report posted this week by journalist Phyllis Chesler:.

"The war against Israel has gone global, not at the United Nations, (that’s old and terrible trouble), but at a new, grassroots level. The goon squad demonstrations against Israel that are taking place on every continent are not composed of peaceful demonstrators. The hate-Israel and hate-America protesters are essentially attackers on the march who are spoiling for a hot verbal and even hotter physical confrontation with their opponents. They mean to empty the streets of anyone with views that differ from their own.

"Now...grassroots “attack” groups, organized by mosques, Muslim student and civil rights groups and by their left-wing allies, are on the march. They curse, they scream, their faces are contorted by rage, they make hand gestures which approximate “shooting” and “throat cutting.” ...

"And without shame, and with great pleasure, the protestors call Jews: pigs, apes, donkeys, vermin, and faggots. They hurl curses at their far more sedate opponents. They threaten to rape their opponent’s mothers and visit a slow and painful death upon their opponents’ wives and children. They shoot their arms out in a “Seig Heil” Hitler salute. “Nuke Israel” screamed one young woman in hijab, over and over again in Ft. Lauderdale. “F–k you Jew” was also a favorite chant."

OT but related: REMEMBER - send blog posts to YOUR friends - get them reading the blogs. BIG MEDIA IS IN THE TANK FOR THE JIHAD. BIG MEDIA IS DANGEROUS. It's as much a battle of ideas as it is a military battle.

RASMUSSEN POLL:MOST DEMOCRATS OPPOSE ISRAELI DEFENSE, 62% OF REPUBLICANS SUPPORT ISRAEL

Here is proof -- the most stunning indictment of the leftist Islamic alliance hijacking the Democrat party, the media, the (anti)-intelligentsia. Any Jew that calls himself a Democrat and votes that ticket is a kapo. A KAPO! Obama will be taking cues from polls like this - his deafening silence on Israel's self defense, at this point, is stunning. It bodes most ill.

Most Democrats oppose Israeli offensive on Gaza; 62% Republicans support it (poll)

Sixty-two percent (62%) of Republicans back Israel's decision to take military action against the Palestinians, but only half as many Democrats (31%) agree. A majority of Democrats (55%) say Israel should have tried to find a diplomatic solution first, a view shared by just 27% of Republicans.

Rasmussen poll. Shame on leftwing Jews.

Fifty-five percent (55%) of adults, however, believe the Palestinians are to blame for the current situation in Gaza, while 13% point the finger at the Israelis. Nearly one-third (32%) aren’t sure.

CAN THE 32% READ? Or is the leftist public school system keeping them deliberately stoopid.

Men are far more sympathetic to the Israelis than women. Fifty-six percent (56%) of men support Israel’s military action, compared to 34% of women. Whites narrowly give the edge to military action, but African-Americans by three-to-one say diplomacy was the better way to go.

Proof women can't think. See verdicts of the OJ jury and the Menendez jury.

Sixty-seven percent (67%) of those who say they are following news out of Gaza Very Closely support Israel's military action, while 30% favor diplomacy.

While the Bush administration is viewed as a solid ally of Israel, the new findings signal a possible shift in Washington’s support for Tel Aviv under President Obama.

Just after the election, 47% of voters said Obama will do a good or excellent job handling national security issues. Thirty-four percent (34%) expected him to handle those issues poorly.

Sixty-two percent (62%) of Republicans back Israel’s decision to take military action against the Palestinians, but only half as many Democrats (31%) agree. A majority of Democrats (55%) say Israel should have tried to find a diplomatic solution first, a view shared by just 27% of Republicans.

While 75% of Republicans say Israel is an ally of the United States, just 55% of Democrats agree. Seven percent (7%) of Democrats say Israel is an enemy of America, but only one percent (1%) of Republicans say the same. For 21% of Republicans, Israel is somewhere in between, and 28% of Democrats agree.

UPDATE: RJC Responds to Poll Showing Sharp Division Between Democrats and Republicans on Gaza Action

Majority of Democrats oppose Israeli self-defense actions in Gaza; Nearly two-thirds of Republicans support it.

Washington, D.C. (January 2, 2009) -- The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) released a statement today in response to a Rasmussen poll of American opinions of the Israel-Hamas conflict, which showed a majority of Democrats opposed to Israel's defensive actions in Gaza while nearly two-thirds of Republicans supported Israel's actions. RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said:

The latest Rasmussen poll (conducted December 30, 2008*) highlights the continuing deep division between rank-and-file Democrats and Republicans regarding support for Israel's right to defend herself. As Israel takes military action to defend herself from the continuous assault of rockets and mortars coming from Hamas-controlled Gaza, that divide is especially note-worthy.

The Rasmussen poll shows that there is a huge split between Democrats and Republicans on whether Israel should have undertaken the current military action against Hamas. Democrats opposed the Israeli action 31%-55% and Republicans supported Israel's course of action 62%-27%.

This is not an isolated instance. We saw a similar split between Democrats and Republicans when Israel fought Hezbollah forces in Lebanon in the summer of 2006. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll in late July 2006 showed that among Republicans, an overwhelming 84% said they sympathized more with Israel (1% sympathized more with Arab states); by comparison, just 43% of Democrats did so (12% sympathize more with Arab states). In a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll at the very end of July, when asked whether the U.S. should be more neutral in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah or whether the U.S. should align itself with Israel, Democrats supported neutrality over alignment, 54% to 39%. However, by comparison, Republicans strongly supported alignment with the Jewish state, 64% to 29%.

While we are pleased that many Democratic congressional leaders have offered their unqualified support of Israel, the fact that an overwhelming majority of Democrats at the grassroots level oppose Israel's self-defensive action is troubling and a cause for concern in the Jewish community.

We hope that going forward, pro-Israel Democratic congressional leaders and advocacy groups such as the National Jewish Democratic Council will redouble their efforts to educate grassroots Democrats and build greater support for Israel's right of self-defense.

Bush to Olmert: Why are you giving Syria the Golan for nothing?

It belies logic and reason that this crooked quisling should attempt to bring down the Jewish state as expeditiously as possible before he gets thrown out on his corrupt, bony ass.
How vile and abhorrent this clownish creep is. How dare he? Give Golan to Syria? Is he mad?

Bush to Olmert: Why are you giving Syria the Golan for nothing?

WASHINGTON - U.S. President George Bush believes that Israel is offering Syria the Golan Heights without getting anything in exchange, according to sources briefed on his White House meeting with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert last week.

After Olmert updated Bush on Israel's indirect talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad, the U.S. president demanded, "Why do you want to give Assad the Golan for nothing?" the sources said.

"It's not for nothing," Olmert insisted. "It's in exchange for a change in the region's strategic alignment."

Bush persisted: "Why should you believe him?" And to that, Olmert did not reply.

The Bush administration has long had reservations about Israel's talks with Syria and refuses to play any active role in them. Infuriated by Syria's involvement in anti-American terror in Iraq, as well as its undermining of Lebanon's fragile democracy, Bush preferred to invest his diplomatic capital in Israeli-Palestinian talks, while eschewing contacts with the Syrians.

Olmert tried to explain the strategic importance that Israel attaches to the talks with Syria, describing the Middle East as being defined by two axes: an extremist "horizontal axis" running from Iran via Syria to Hezbollah and Hamas, and a pragmatic "vertical axis" running from Turkey via Syria to Israel, Jordan and Egypt. Syria, Olmert argued, sits at the intersection of these two axes. Thus should it switch its allegiance to the "vertical axis," this would greatly weaken the extremists and strengthen the pragmatists.

Olmert also believes that Bashar Assad has moved much closer to Iran than his father Hafez ever did. Today, he said, Damascus is locked in an Iranian "bear hug" that threatens the very existence of its secular regime. That, combined with Syria's dismal economy, creates an opportunity to flip Assad into the moderate camp, the premier argued.

U.S. President-elect Barack Obama favors American dialogue with Syria, and would presumably agree to take an active role in Israeli-Syrian talks. Aaron Miller, a veteran of former president Bill Clinton's peace team, published an article in The Washington Post Saturday in which he urged Obama to adopt a "Syria first" strategy.

Obama's House Jew: Rahm Emanuel

Atlas reader Alan spits, " hot on the heels of the appointment of the aptly described mean- spirited, foul-mouthed Rahm Emanuel, a son of an Israeli who promptly left his own Jewishness at the door when Clinton, Missy NotsoBright, and Dennis Ross embraced Arafat after Oslo, as Obama Chief of Staff comes the news that the Obamites have sharpened their knives for their first kill".

None other than the Democratic Nominee for Vice President in 2000 and a staunch friend of John McCain, Joseph Ira Lieberman.

Joe's crime? Being an American patriot, it seems and not an Islamofascist appeaser ala Obama, Biden, Pelosi and Reid.

There is talk that he will be removed from his position as Chair of the Homeland Security Committee of the Senate as early as today. If this is so, then we will definitely have a good idea that It and his buddies will not be Centrists and that we will definitely be in for rough times.

Reid looking to remove Lieberman as committee head

News My friend Jeff opined, Rahm Emmanuel will be used as President-Elect, Barak Obama's battering ram to push the Obama mandate. This will include pressuring Israel to: withdraw from East Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria to appease and 'reconcile' with the Palestinians. withdraw from the Golan Heights to appease and 'reconcile' with Syria. not to pre-emptively attack Iran's nuclear facilities despite the Iranians' stated goal of "wiping Israel off of the map." There will be throngs of Jews who will be pushing the Obama agenda despite the risk this agenda poses to Israel's security and well-being. Get ready for a rough ride.

Rahm Emanuel, biggest fundraiser for Clinton in 1992, a radical and a partisan is being touted by as a centrist by the Obamedia. Yes, more brown nosing and lying by the media about Obambi's first appointment. The perpetuation of the nonsense of Obama's move  "to the center" - words matter!

Emanuel once earned $16.2 million as a former investment banker and about his position as a board member of Freddie Mac, a quasi-government agency largely faulted for the current mortgage crisis.

Like Obama, Emanuel has compiled a hard-left voting record in Washington. He currently has a 4 percent rating from the American Conservative Union and has consistently voted in favor of higher taxes, regulation and liberal social issues.

“This is an ironic choice for a President-elect who has promised to change Washington, make politics more civil, and govern from the center,” said House Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner (R.-Ohio). (more here)

Emanuel was known for his hard-nosed tactics as a senior adviser to President Bill Clinton.

1. Rahm Emanuel has a record, as chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, of engaging in top-down machiavellian politics to thwart local candidates by introducing his “recruits”, and pumping in DCCC national support to those politicians, who have tended to be less progressive than the Democrats Emanuel has defeated. The choice of Emanuel by Obama signals that President Obama intends to disregard progressive interests in order to maintain his hold on power.
2. Perhaps the Chief of Staff, as an organizational leader, can be machiavellian without negatively affecting progressive policies.

And then this

One of his proudest moments during the Clinton Administration "was an event that touched his political sensibilities and his personal ties to Israel: the 1993 Rose Garden signing ceremony after the Oslo accord between Israel and the Palestinians. Rahm directed the details of the ceremony, down to the choreography of the famous handshake between Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat."^[10]

If you are really Machiavellian, you surround yourself with "Jews" as you destroy Israel:

Speaking of house Jews, according to today’s Washington times, former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell is being considered for the cabinet position in charge of the DOE.

This is the Jewish Rendell who praised the Jew-Hating Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam.

DEMAND THE LA TIMES RELEASE THE OBAMA VIDEO

The LA Times is refusing to release a video of the Jew hating event Obama hosted with pal and infamous Jew hater Rashid Khalidi, I am asking everyone at Atlas to contact the LA Times and implore them (nicely) to release the tape in keeping with their role as public servant (/sarc tag off) LA TIMES CONTACT: here.

They know not what they do. What is fascinating to me is the important, Jewish powerhouses  in Hollywood are not stepping up to the plate and demanding that the LA Times release the video or they will pull their entertainment advertising.

I am talking about men like Steven Spielberg who spent a large part of his fortune and career recording every witness to the Shoah. Fetishizing dead Jews. Someone ought to tell Spielberg  (and  Geffen, =Katzenberg, all of them) that his efforts are worthless if he has a hand in ushering in a President lethal for Israel and the Jews.

It was one thing for these guys to come out for Obama back in January 2007 when he was unknown. He is no longer unknown. Wright, Zbigniew, Farrakhan, Mansour, Powers, Rice, Ayers, et al. His allegiances are dangerous and fatal. You can avoid reality  but you cannot avoid  the consequences of avoiding reality. Movie moguls Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg (along with Soros of course) chose the Barack Hussein Obama, imposed him on the American people. The messed up. Big time.

These powerful and influential men should demand this video.

Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama LA Times (hat tip Randall)

CHICAGO -- It was a celebration of Palestinian culture -- a night of music, dancing and a dash of politics. Local Arab Americans were bidding farewell to Rashid Khalidi, an internationally known scholar, critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights, who was leaving town for a job in New York.

A special tribute came from Khalidi's friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking.

His many talks with the Khalidis, Obama said, had been "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. . . . It's for that reason that I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation -- a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid's dinner table," but around "this entire world."

[...]

And yet the warm embrace Obama gave to Khalidi, and words like those at the professor's going-away party, have left some Palestinian American leaders believing that Obama is more receptive to their viewpoint than he is willing to say.

Their belief is not drawn from Obama's speeches or campaign literature, but from comments that some say Obama made in private and from his association with the Palestinian American community in his hometown of Chicago, including his presence at events where anger at Israeli and U.S. Middle East policy was freely expressed.

At Khalidi's 2003 farewell party, for example, a young Palestinian American recited a poem accusing the Israeli government of terrorism in its treatment of Palestinians and sharply criticizing U.S. support of Israel. If Palestinians cannot secure their own land, she said, "then you will never see a day of peace."

One speaker likened "Zionist settlers on the West Bank" to Osama bin Laden, saying both had been "blinded by ideology."

Obama adopted a different tone in his comments and called for finding common ground. But his presence at such events, as he worked to build a political base in Chicago, has led some Palestinian leaders to believe that he might deal differently with the Middle East than either of his opponents for the White House.

"I am confident that Barack Obama is more sympathetic to the position of ending the occupation than either of the other candidates," said Hussein Ibish, a senior fellow for the American Task Force on Palestine, referring to the Israeli presence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that began after the 1967 war. More than his rivals for the White House, Ibish said, Obama sees a "moral imperative" in resolving the conflict and is most likely to apply pressure to both sides to make concessions.

"That's my personal opinion," Ibish said, "and I think it for a very large number of circumstantial reasons, and what he's said."

[...]

Obama also calls for the U.S. to talk to such declared enemies as Iran, Syria and Cuba. But he argues that the Palestinian militant organization Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, is an exception, calling it a terrorist group that should renounce violence and recognize Israel's right to exist before dialogue begins. That viewpoint, which also matches current U.S. policy, clashes with that of many Palestinian advocates who urge the United States and Israel to treat Hamas as a partner in negotiations.

Hamas endorsed Obama.

"Barack's belief is that it's important to understand other points of view, even if you can't agree with them," said his longtime political strategist, David Axelrod.

I wonder if he would be so "understanding" if  something terrible happened directly to him, his family, his people.

Obama "can disagree without shunning or demonizing those with other views," he said. "That's far different than the suggestion that he somehow tailors his view."

Looking for clues

[...]

Last year, for example, Obama was quoted saying that "nobody's suffering more than the Palestinian people."

Jewish leaders were satisfied with Obama's explanation, but some Palestinian leaders, including Ibish, took the original quotation as a sign of the candidate's empathy for their plight.

Obama's willingness to befriend Palestinian Americans and to hear their views also impressed, and even excited, a community that says it does not often have the ear of the political establishment.

Among other community events, Obama in 1998 attended a speech by Edward Said, the late Columbia University professor and a leading intellectual in the Palestinian movement. According to a news account of the speech, Said called that day for a nonviolent campaign "against settlements, against Israeli apartheid."

The use of such language to describe Israel's policies has drawn vehement objection from Israel's defenders in the United States. A photo on the pro-Palestinian website the Electronic Intifada shows Obama and his wife, Michelle, engaged in conversation at the dinner table with Said, and later listening to Said's keynote address. Obama had taken an English class from Said as an undergraduate at Columbia University.

Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian rights activist in Chicago who helps run Electronic Intifada, said that he met Obama several times at Palestinian and Arab American community events. At one, a 2000 fundraiser at a private home, Obama called for the U.S. to take an "even-handed" approach toward Israel, Abunimah wrote in an article on the website last year. He did not cite Obama's specific criticisms.

Abunimah, in a Times interview and on his website, said Obama seemed sympathetic to the Palestinian cause but more circumspect as he ran for the U.S. Senate in 2004. At a dinner gathering that year, Abunimah said, Obama greeted him warmly and said privately that he needed to speak cautiously about the Middle East.

Abunimah quoted Obama as saying that he was sorry he wasn't talking more about the Palestinian cause, but that his primary campaign had constrained what he could say.

[...]

In Chicago, one of Obama's friends was Khalidi, a highly visible figure in the Arab American community.

In the 1970s, when Khalidi taught at a university in Beirut, he often spoke to reporters on behalf of Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization . In the early 1990s, he advised the Palestinian delegation during peace negotiations. Khalidi now occupies a prestigious professorship of Arab studies at Columbia.

[...]

While teaching at the University of Chicago, Khalidi and his wife lived in the Hyde Park neighborhood near the Obamas. The families became friends and dinner companions.

In 2000, the Khalidis held a fundraiser for Obama's unsuccessful congressional bid. The next year, a social service group whose board was headed by Mona Khalidi received a $40,000 grant from a local charity, the Woods Fund of Chicago, when Obama served on the fund's board of directors.

At Khalidi's going-away party in 2003, the scholar lavished praise on Obama, telling the mostly Palestinian American crowd that the state senator deserved their help in winning a U.S. Senate seat. "You will not have a better senator under any circumstances," Khalidi said.

The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape was obtained by The Times.

Though Khalidi has seen little of Sen. Obama in recent years, Michelle Obama attended a party several months ago celebrating the marriage of the Khalidis' daughter.

[...]

"He has family literally all over the world," Khalidi said. "I feel a kindred spirit from that."

Give up that tape.

2008: HOLOCAUST RABBIS

I think Rabbis should STFU when it comes to politics if only to maintain their tax exempt status right? The only part of politics they should engage in is the study of history, Jewish history in particular.
Madeline suggests,  "[Rabbis]  should study what went wrong during the years leading up to the Holocaust. What was the denial like".

What role did the rabbis play? Then, like now, Rabbis will have much to answer for.

Rabbis Should Stay Out of Politics It Can Make Them Look STUPID yid with lid

Oh Boy, the Stupid Fairy must be very busy. A group of over 560 Rabbis, members of a group called "Rabbis for Obama" have attacked Senator McCain and the Republican Jewish Congress for their recent attacks on Senator Obama:

A pro-Obama group of rabbis says recent statements by the McCain-Palin campaign are “creeping toward hate speech.”

In a statement released Thursday, the group of 562 rabbis said that “increasingly those speaking on behalf of the McCain campaign have been demonizing Senator Obama as not being like us.” 

As an example, the organization notes that a sherriff recently emphasized Barack Obama’s middle name of Hussein when warming up the crowd at a campaign rally and that Palin recently said Obama has been “palling around with terrorists.”

Sorry Rabbis, you have made another mistake, You see, he is different then us. It has been proved that he lied about Ayers, Acorn, Rezko, Wright. They aren't casual acquaintances they are Alliances that the Senator Picked for his self. Wasn't Lot criticized by the sages for picking city to live that had so many bad people? When we were beating our breast during Yom Kippur, didn't one of the sins include lying? So are you Rabbi's saying that lying is OK when you are a liberal Senator running for President?

JACKSON ON OBAMA'S AMERICA Amir Taheri (hat tip Atlas readers)

PREPARE for a new America: That's the message that the Rev. Jesse Jackson conveyed to participants in the first World Policy Forum, held at this French lakeside resort last week.

He promised "fundamental changes" in US foreign policy - saying America must "heal wounds" it has caused to other nations, revive its alliances and apologize for the "arrogance of the Bush administration."

The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where "decades of putting Israel's interests first" would end.

Jackson believes that, although "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" remain strong, they'll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House.

"Obama is about change," Jackson told me in a wide-ranging conversation. "And the change that Obama promises is not limited to what we do in America itself. It is a change of the way America looks at the world and its place in it."

Jackson warns that he isn't an Obama confidant or adviser, "just a supporter." But he adds that Obama has been "a neighbor or, better still, a member of the family." Jackson's son has been a close friend of Obama for years, and Jackson's daughter went to school with Obama's wife Michelle.

"We helped him start his career," says Jackson. "And then we were always there to help him move ahead. He is the continuation of our struggle for justice not only for the black people but also for all those who have been wronged."

Obama, Hillary and Palin's Disinvite: What Really Happened

There is one thing that has been brushed over, ignored in all the tumult of the outrageous Palin disinvite. The catalyst that set the disastrous events in motion, Hillary Clinton's withdrawal.

Many weak and nonsensical excuses were made for Clinton's withdrawal. It was said she pulled out  because she thought the event was partisan, or because she did not want to appear with Palin. She was unhappy that the organizers did not tell her that Palin also was going to attend. This is mendacious. Hillary would never be given authority over who would or would not appear to represent the Republicans. Further,  do not believe she didn't want to share the podium with a woman whose politics are juxtaposed to hers.

Palin does not compete with Clinton and Clinton does not compete with Palin. Palin is the quintessential conservative and Clinton, the archetypal European socialist. Bottom line is, if you are a Clinton supporter, you are not going to switch to Palin or vice versa. The lines on their ideology, policies and platforms are most clearly drawn.

Caroline Glick wrote, " Clinton found out that she was to share a stage with Palin, she cancelled her appearance. By cancelling, she signaled to Jewish Democrats - and Democrats in general - that opposing Palin and the Republican Party is more important than opposing Ahmadinejad and the genocidal regime he represents." Actually, what Clinton signalled was her chances of seizing the nomination and the White House in 2012 was more important than presenting a united front against Ahmadinejad. It was Machiavellian.

So what happened to set the ball rolling?  Hillary's pull out had nothing to do with Palin. It was an implicit hit at Obama. Hillary did not want to be the one to represent Obama. Obama's position on Iran is sophomoric, idiotic and dangerous. Hillary has been more responsible and she was not going to clean up his mess. She was not going to be the face of Obama's Iranian foreign policy. Obama has said he would meet with Ahmadinejad without condition - essentially rewarding the poison dwarf for his nuclear arsenal and genocidal threats. No way was Hillary going to pave that road for him - so she pulled out forcing Obama to face the jihad music. In withdrawing she forced him send someone in his stead but who? Biden? Biden is the poster boy for Iran appeasement. His record on Iran is a capitulation - he could never make the case for a muscular policy on Iran's nukes and Ahmadinejad's genocidal threats. There was talk of Wexler - but he has his own problems (residential fraud) and he has lied about Obama's positions and support of the Jews. Sending a silly Florida representative would have spoke volumes of the importance Obama assigns to a nuclear, Jew hating Iran and would have paled next to Palin.

Hillary's withdrawal was a clear shot at Obama. And while it may have seemed to have backfired because folks were so disappointed with her, I am not so sure it was a  failure. Palin, in the speech she would have given, quoted statements that Clinton has made against the Iranian regime. Palin never mentioned Obama but spoke of Clinton most admiringly.  The Jews in America cannot rest easy knowing Obama did not think the existential threat to Israel and the free world  important enough to address.

Clinton could not have known that Jewish lay leadership would cave to their left wing masters but that was of little import to her. Her action was to shine the spotlight on Obama's complete failure on Iran and she accomplished this. Claiming that by inviting Palin (and Clinton, Biden and Wexler), the organizers were in danger of  losing their tax-exempt status was ridiculous. It was not a political rally and Hillary attended and spoke in 2006 when she was running for the Senate. Was that political? C'mon fellas, don't insult our intelligence.

I do not forgive Hoenlein for caving to the leftist Jews. The buck stops with him and he blew it. Israel is in Iran's nuclear cross hairs. Full weaponization is either here or  imminent. American Jews  need real leadership and that is why Malcolm Hoinlein must resign. He 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.

The Jews didn't like it. Many American Jews, like myself boycotted the rally. Estimates had this year's rally at two to four thousand while rally attendance in 2007 was reported by CBS to be 25,000 and 2006, roughly 40,000.

Further, no one took the Soros created  J Street seriously - until Hoenlein gave them credibility. 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 that was Hillary's objective, to put Obama's feet to the fire on Iran in front of the whole Jewish community and she succeeded. He failed.

The real question is all this, why didn''t Obama send anyone to represent him at the Anti-Ahmadinejad rally? Why was no one there for Obama?  Did he not want to upset the Hitler wannabee? Is he pandering to his widespread support in the Muslim world or his 22% lead over McCain among Muslim Americans? Whatever the answer, Hillary wanted the question posed. And McCain should be beating that drum incessantly. Yes, Hillary would want that but so what? In this Presidential race, Hillary is a McCain operative even if he doesn't know it.

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  .....

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.

Be there on THURSDAY!

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." 

UPDATE12:15pm: HERE'S THE SHOW (thanks Michael!) Download Sept_18_Show.mp3

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

Executive Director National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC)

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."

ISRAEL'S MORTAL, ENEMIES: AL QAEDA, HAMAS, FATAH, ISLAMIC JIHAD And OLMERT

In the last days of his illegal occupation of the office of Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, the most dangerous man in the history of modern day Israel, is working furiously behind the scenes to establish an Islamic terror state in the heart and soul of the homeland of the Jewish people.

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.

Lt. Col. (res.) Jonathan D. Halevi is a senior researcher of the Middle East and radical Islam at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. He is co-founder with Brian Falkenstein of the Orient Research Group Ltd. and is a former advisor to the Policy Planning Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

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.

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.
