This woman — unlike most of her fellow Muslims — is no coward. She deserves our respect and protection against the jihadi cowards.

As Israel considers building a new fence to contain the Syrian conflict to the north, which fences can keep out Hamas’s even more lethal ideologies? While Gaza and the Muslim Arab world continue to claim victory in the recent Israel-Hamas conflict, for the sane observers among us, there is only ever defeat – the defeat of morality in the desecration of a great religion. While most Muslims laud Hamas and scorn Israel, for me, an observing Muslim, Israel’s war against Hamas remains my struggle – my jihad.

Israel’s eight-day operation “Pillar of Defense” sought to dismantle the Hamas apparatus from within Gaza. The predictably seamless alignment of the Muslim world against Israel was even more breathtaking than usual in the face of Syria’s 22 months of systematic genocide, one which has consistently failed to trigger unanimous Muslim protest. What does this say about us as Muslims?

We are hypocrites. (more…)

The obamination and his shill, Pilfery, have ordered our nation’s bought-and-paid-for media to proclaim peace in Gaza when there is no peace, only the quiet before the storm, no doubt due in large part to obamination, inc.

Israel’s enemies now have the time in which to catch their breath and await future reinforcements.  These reinforcements will arrive in the form of a united Muslim front.  A front likely controlled by the ever-growing Muslim Brotherhood.

Click on chart to enlarge

Thanks to the resident dark forces of our government, our once great nation’s influence, aided by illegal arms and covert actions, has been subverted by the committed effort to remove the Middle East region’s secular rulers—one by one—for the sole purpose of reuniting a heretofore crumbling Muslim world with increased power and renewed resolve.  

With our government’s assistance, the Muslim Brotherhood’s influence and power has grown steadily over a few short years in gaining the reins of power in one regional nation after another. Gaddafi and Mubarak have gone the way of the dinosaurs—literally.  Syria’s Bashar Al- Assad will follow soon. 

The noose around Israel’s neck is tightening and the proverbial writing is on the wall.

Jordan is the last piece of the puzzle, and the Muslim Brotherhood will not rest until that nation is under its control as well.

Once all of the players are set in place, Israel will be surrounded on three sides with her back to the sea. At that point, she will either be forced into the sea and destroyed as a nation, or, without the aid of her once great ally (the USA), be forced to resort to the use of nuclear weapons in a bid for her own survival.

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, please take your seats. The war we’ve all been waiting for is about to begin!

1. It’s not Israel victimizing Gazans.
It’s Arab, Persian and Indo-Pak muslims victimizing Jews.

2. Cease fire is not because Gaza defeated Israel.
It’s because Hamas cry babies can’t deal with the consequences of their bullshit.

3. Arab life is worth so little because that is how they priced themselves in the market of humanity.

If you state repeatedly that you live to die or that you wish your children can be killed to make a point, then don’t complain when you get killed.

If you love death more than normal humans love life, line up in neat little rows so we can accommodate you.

In the intifada that began in 2000, Palestinian terrorism killed more than 1,000 Israelis. As a portion of US population, that would be 42,000, approaching the toll of America’s eight years in Vietnam. During the onslaught, which began 10 Septembers ago, Israeli parents sending two children to a school would put them on separate buses to decrease the chance that neither would return for dinner.

Surely most Americans can imagine, even if their tone-deaf leaders can’t, how grating it is when those leaders lecture Israel on the need to take “risks for peace.”

During Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s July visit to Washington, President Obama praised him as “willing to take risks for peace.” There was a time when that meant swapping “land for peace” — Israel sacrificing something tangible and irrecoverable, strategic depth, in exchange for something intangible and perishable, promises of diplomatic normality.

Strategic depth matters in a nation where almost everyone is a soldier, so society cannot function for long with the nation fully mobilized.

Also, before the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel within the borders established by the 1949 armistice was in one place just nine miles wide (a fact that moved George W. Bush to say, “in Texas we have driveways that long”). Israel exchanged a lot of land to achieve a chilly peace with Egypt — yielding the Sinai, which is almost three times larger than Israel and was 89 percent of the land captured in the process of repelling the 1967 aggression.

Remember what I told you: if you want to know what policy is going to be, watch the governments, not the media. While the results of the EU foreign ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg were far from perfect, they also show the difference between decision-makers and opinion-makers on the Middle East.

First, the foreign ministers proposed new sanctions going beyond the ones just voted in the UN against Iran’s nuclear program to prohibit new investment and transfer of technology, equipment and services.

The British representative, William Hague, told the EU to take a “strong lead” on this issue. Sweden’s opposition was overcome. We must wait to see the details but clearly this is a step in the right direction. Incidentally, I believe the main European states were willing to do this nine months ago but were forestalled by the go-slow U.S. policy.

Second, regarding the Gaza issue, the EU foreign ministers refused to condemn Israel and adopted a mixed package of proposals. They called for a “credible, independent” investigation of the incident with the Gaza flotilla, which leaves the door open for Israel’s approach of an independent commission with two foreign observers rather than a UN-led (and inevitably wildly biased) process.

Rep. Mike Pence unloaded on Barack Obama efforts to “curry favor with our enemies” while being “far too hard on our friends,” in the second installment of the Indiana Republican’s exclusive interview with HUMAN EVENTS. Pence also blasted this president’s attempt to impede Israel from building apartment complexes in undisputed territory, calling Obama’s tactics “nothing short of bullying.”

He added: “I never thought I’d live to see the day that an American administration would denounce the Jewish state of Israel for rebuilding Jerusalem.”

Evidence Emerges of Government-Flotilla Link; Brave Turkish Nationalists Try to Calm Things Down
By Barry Rubin*
June 9, 2010

I’ve written about how the Gaza flotilla issue and stirring up a hysterical hatred of Israel is playing a role in internal Turkish politics as the government tries to use this demagoguery to continue eroding Turkish democracy and to win the next election. And a little later I’m going to talk about a major new development in the flotilla story.

In addition, while Turks are united in anger and sorrow about the deaths of nine of their citizens, they do not necessarily agree with the current government’s extremist response which threatens to lead to involving Turkey in violence and damaging its reputation abroad.

The leader of the main opposition, Ataturkist and social democratic party, Kemal Kilicdaroglu stated that Prime Minister Erdogan, “Almost declared war against Israel in his party’s meeting….Our party displays a more moderate and careful approach. Foreign policy can’t be carried out with heroism but with reason. The Turkish Foreign Ministry should publicly disclose correspondence made with Israel so that we may all learn whether Israel warned Turkey or not.”

Now you might ask yourself what is Kilicdaroglu hinting at here? And the answer is important and potentially explosive. (more…)

White House linked to flotilla organizers
Israel official ties president’s adviser to controversial ‘Free Gaza Movement’

A top adviser to President Obama is the contact person within the White House for communications with the Free Gaza Movement over plans to challenge Israel’s blockade of the terrorist Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, according to a reputable source close to the Netanyahu government. }} more…

Bülent Yildirim, the main organizer of the Gaza Flotilla, explained at a Hamas rally in Gaza that the operation was no humanitarian effort but part of a global Jihad to overthrow governments and install Islamist dictatorships. He made no secret of that fact, as shown in the MEMRI translation and video.

Keep in mind as you read this that his group originated the project and was the main funder, that his followers controlled the biggest ship, and that they were most of those who attacked the Israeli soldiers. Thus, more than any other individual, Yildirim represents the thinking behind the operation, its direction, and the organization of a militarized group that started the violence in order to achieve the intended result. Notice, too, that he–and thus the organizers of the operation and those who created the violence–are totally indifferent to the loss of life they cause. (more…)

There is no sane and moral alternative to the (albeit difficult) two-state solution. Anyone who supports the so-called one state solution is either a knave or a fool or both. Creating one state of all its citizens between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea can have only one outcome: the creation of yet another authoritarian Islamic ‘Republic.’

The right of national self-determination, it will turn out, will thus be guaranteed to all peoples but the Jews. In the new state Jews and Christians will at best be reduced to the status of dhimmis, tolerated religious (not ethnic) minorities subject to oppressive restrictions. Women will be forced behind the veil, gays will be persecuted. Anyone perceptive enough to realize this and who nonetheless supports the idea is a knave. Anyone who does not realize this is a fool. There is not a single Arab-majority state in the world in which non-Arabs actually enjoy full civil rights. There is not a single Muslim-majority state in the world in which non-Muslims actually enjoy full equality. An Arab-Muslim State born out of a century of conflict is not likely – to put it mildly – to be the only exception to these sad generalizations. (more…)

Q: Who are the biggest and best liars on the face of the earth?
A: No. It’s not the Democrats. It’s the shameless Palestinian thugs.

According to Palestinians, they were expelled from Israel by the Jewish armies in 1948. A large documentation, and many testimonies from Arab leaders and historians intend to prove that, actually, they fled the zone of conflict because of Arab propaganda, spreading the fake news of massacres… Deir Yassin, among those so said massacres, became a legend. Such as Jenin, and Gaza will be decades later. Pallywood, pallywood…

I haven’t read a comic strip for a while now.

There was and may still be a comic called “Pogo” in which the characters were swamp animals.

One of the most notable quotes from the strip was, “We have met the enemy and it is us.

This saying has been used over the years by liberals as a basis for American self flagellation and mea culpas.

Liberals love to point out what a sick and despotic society we are as long as they can avoid taking any blame or responsibility.

If there ever was a sick and despotic society worthy of this saying, it is certainly the cult of death residing in Gaza and much of the Arab world at large.

What can be more self destructive than holding fast to a policy that demands “war at any price”?

The one shining ray of light piercing this dark oppressive mentality is this little detail.

Many of the news stories concerning the IDF in Gaza show pin point strikes on specific homes or other structures harboring ham-ass personnel or armaments, the presence of which is confirmed by secondary explosions.

How do the Israelis know which places to target?

Are they clairvoyant?

Is Gaza infiltrated with Israeli spies and commandos?

The most likely scenario is that some Gazans have the presence of mind and a sense of reality to be dropping the dime on the vermin in charge of Palestinians.

A big up and a shout out to those brave enough to resist the “resistance”… I mean terrorists.

Keep up the good work!

The source of most of the information coming from Gaza thus far has been from Palestinian representatives. One of the only non-Palestinian voices heard has been that of Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor who entered Gaza on December 31 along with his colleague Erik Fosse ostensibly to provide medical assistance to Palestinians at Shifa Hospital. They have become media stars as the BBC, CBS, CNN, ABC, Independent, Sky News, and New York Times, among others, have turned to them as independent foreign observers to provide a presumably non-partisan perspective. They have been extensively interviewed in the Norwegian as well as the world press. In fact, Gilbert appears in so many interviews that one wonders how he has the time to provide medical help, never mind “doing surgery around the clock” as he claims. (more…)

Remember your elementary school playground/school yard?

Not one of these was complete without the requisite bully. Along with the bully comes the robotron teacher/playground monitor.

Invariably the bully taunts some kid because of perceived weakness. The taunted kid in most cases takes the abuse, out of fear of further punishment or because they have been told by parents and teachers that hitting back is wrong, or that if the bully is ignored, the abuse will stop.

We all know that this is a fallacy. The bully will either be emboldened by a lack of response or frustrated that he is not causing sufficient anguish in his victim and take the abuse to a higher level.

Ultimately the bully initiates action on an inappropriate target who will not suffer these indignities and get the shit kicked out of him.

Enter the dolt with cabbage for brains, who has been oblivious to the comings and goings of interpersonal dynamics in the school yard world.

Deaf, dumb and blind to the savagery of the bully and the torment of his victims, the playground monitor suddenly becomes the purveyor of justice and its dispensation only when roused from his/her stupor by the whines and cries of the offended bully.

Suddenly this petite bureaucrat develops the eyes of an eagle just as the victim turns the tables on his tormentor, whose brutality had always been missing from his/her field of sight.

Now the kid who has been beaten repeatedly, with no one in his corner, is now labeled the aggressor and is on his way to the principal’s office so the parents can be notified.

This happens in countless school yards and buses throughout the world on a daily basis.

Many of you reading this have encountered it personally either as a child, or like me, as a parent.

My phone call came when my son was in first grade. Unbeknown to me he had been bullied by an older kid for the entire previous year. My son was pushed beyond his breaking point and clocked the kid in the smeller.

Any way I digress.

The point is that the UN and the majority of world leaders are no more fit to be in their positions of authority than they are to be playground capos.

Let me break it down for you:

  • Firing random rockets with the expressed desire to kill and terrorize civilians = bullying on the playground.
  • No condemnation of such actions by the UN, BBC, CNN, leftwing activist moonbats, etc. = ignoring the actions of the bully
  • Israeli self defense = getting a bully to understand that it it wrong to perpetuate these acts.
  • Condemning Israel while ignoring Islamic terrorism or equating it with self defense = blind, stupid, Jew-hating bullshit.

Do you know what the land was like before the Jews decided to return to the Land of Israel? The French traveler Volney visited from 1783-1785 when Gaza had no more than 2,000 inhabitants. Jerusalem had between 12,000 and 14,000 inhabitants. Safed was practically a deserted village.

Buckingham visited in 1816 and said Jaffa “has all the appearances of a poor village, and every part of it that we saw was of corresponding meanness.” Ramalleh, “Where, as throughout the greater part of Palestine, the ruined portion seemed more extensive than that which was inhabited.” Describing how the Arabs lived, he said they “live by robbery and plunder, which form their chief and most gainful occupation.”

In 1827 a German encyclopedia called Palestine desolate and where “bands of robbers” roamed.

In 1840 Olin wrote that the once populated area between Hebron and Bethlehem is “now abandoned and desolate” and has “dilapidated towns.”

After visiting Lydda, Napier said “the greatest poverty, misery, and disease appeared to prevail.”

There were still Jews living there. And there were Christians. In the 1840s, while Jews still constituted the majority of Jerusalem’s population, about 3,500 Christians lived there too. Arabs didn’t start moving to Israel in large numbers until the Zionist movement brought in large numbers of Jews who created jobs, health care and all kinds of opportunities. Many of the Arabs who came then had theft on the brain. They planned to steal everything worth stealing from the Jews. Although it took them a while, in time the Arabs even decided the land was worth stealing. And even though Gaza was their de facto capitol, now, they want to take Jerusalem from the Jews and make it their capitol. No doubt Mohammed would be proud, for the assassination, terror and larceny that he taught, is alive and well among his many followers. Even the richest Arabs take pride in robbing us each time we fill our gas tanks. Unfortunately Muslims have no shame.

Out of the blue, Saudi Arabia has urged other Arabs to ‘help’ Palestinians. Help them how? Help their ‘rift.’

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister urged Arabs to help end inter-Palestinian rifts and re-establish moderate Palestinian rule in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip. Why? And why now?

Prince Saud Al Faisal made his remarks at a Cairo meeting of Arab foreign ministers. The top Saudi diplomat supported an Egyptian proposal to send Arab troops to the Gaza, which is currently ruled by Hamas.

“It’s about time that the Arab countries take a solid and decisive stance against those who shed Palestinian blood and deepen the Palestinian division, this requires only one Palestinian authority and one government which controls the army and the security forces,” Saud said.

He told the Cairo gathering that Palestinian factions have a vested interest in keeping the Gaza dispute ongoing. Duh! It’s business as usual. This is how Arafat got rich, how his fat ugly wife got rich, and how all Arafat’s cousins got rich, and now how all Hamas’ friends are getting rich. It’s how Arab politics works. The guy in charge controls all the power and money and kills everyone who wants to take any of it away from him. And of course, he uses hating the Jews everywhere and anywhere as a pretext to get his way. Luckily for him, Arabs are all taught to hate Jews with a piquant virulance that makes Bubonic plague seem tame. (more…)

Max Jacobs wrote the following as advice for Henry Kissinger in 1974. Hardly anyone else has ever read it. I’m not even sure Kissinger read it. Much of it is moot now. For instance, before King Hussein died he relinquished any and all Jordanian connections with the West Bank.

Much has changed since Jacobs wrote this, and much of what has changed is good for the people living in the region and many of these changes add to the stability of the region. But there remain some niggling issues that are continually thrust in everyone’s faces as if they really matter. Regarding these, I would like to point out the following:

There was just a war in Georgia between the Georgians and the Russians. Now there’s a ceasefire and with that ceasefire came an agreement. Wars lead to agreements and people abide by them. (more…)

Nine Killed, 90 Wounded Today in Hamas-Fatah Gaza Clashes

Nine Palestinians were killed – including members of Hamas’s security forces – and more than 90 were wounded in fighting that erupted August 2, 2008 between Hamas and Fatah in Gaza City.

The clashes began when hundreds of Hamas policemen raided homes belonging to the Hilles clan in the city’s Shajayieh neighborhood to arrest suspects in the bombing that killed five Hamas men nine days ago.

Hamas accused members of the clan, which has long been affiliated with Fatah, of being behind the explosion, which also killed a seven-year-old girl.

Toward Saturday night, more than 180 clan members approached the border fence with Israel near the Nahal Oz fuel crossing, laid down their weapons and asked soldiers to allow them to cross over.

Military sources said the group was allowed into Israel out of “humanitarian concerns” that they would be slaughtered by Hamas. (more…)

Five Palestinian Dirt-Bags Killed in Tunnel Collapse Under Gaza-Egypt Border

At least five Palestinians suffocated to death and 11 were injured on Friday while digging a smuggling tunnel beneath the Egyptian-Gaza border, hospital workers said.

Witnesses said the tunnel was being dug to smuggle goods from Egypt into the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.

Many Gazans use tunnels to bypass an Israeli blockade that was tightened after Hamas Islamists seized the coastal strip last year. Many of the tunnels are also used by militants to smuggle weapons from Egypt into Gaza.

More than 10 Palestinians have been killed in the past few months in tunnels designed to smuggle goods into the enclave.
