Iran
Spewing Hate: Some Songs Never Change
September
30, 2011
"The
Zionist regime's establishment was based on numerous deceptions and lies
and one of the biggest lies was the Holocaust." ~Ahmadinejad at
Tehran U. 8/26/11
Since
1979, the Islamic nation of Iran has spewed anti-Jewish slogans, but few
were worried that those shibboleths would
turn violent. That is, until the rhetoric got ramped up in 2005 by the
Regime's Pinocchio Ahmadinejad, or as he's more affectionately know:
Ahjad.
And
it's been increasing ever since...
Some
past rants by the Iranian marionette:
-
"The
Zionists are groups of hypocrite racists who have been operating
under the pretext of following Jewish religion principles."
-
We
"oppose the occupation and aggression and the crimes committed
by the Zionist enemy and those who support it."
-
He
described Israel as a "fake regime" that "must be
wiped off the map."
-
"The question is, why don't we allow this subject (the Holocaust) to be examined further... It is incorrect to force only one view on the rest of the world...How come when it comes to the subject of the Holocaust there is so much sensitivity?"
-
Has
called Zionists "the most detested people in all humanity"
and called the Holocaust "a myth."
-
He
claimed Western countries were using special equipment to dump rain
on their countries, leaving none for Iran.
And
he continued his Muslim melody at the UN and Durban III this past week:
“Iran believes that whoever is for humanity should also be for
eradicating the Zionist regime (Israel) as symbol of suppression and
discrimination,” Ahmadinejad said in an interview with a Lebanese
television network.
The
current Islamic Regime's sock-puppet is carrying on their tired old
hateful harangue...it's a haunting melody that works better on Oct. 31st.
But with their nuclear program moving forward (as the world community has
done little to deter them)...like a cheetah (who can accelerate from 0 to
68 mph in 3 seconds) after its prey...this time the rhetoric has morphed
into a credible threat.
When
will the world community begin to condemn this hate-speech? Where is the
hue and cry against this mendacious messenger, when truth be told: ALL of
the West is on their morbid menu.
A
new tune needs to make the airwaves. An anthem against Ahjad and the
Maniacal Mullahs...for sanity's sake and for the sake of innocents
everywhere.
Shalom
through strength...

It's
A New Day: PA Does Not Get Its Way
September
29, 2011
Uh
oh...the Palestinian Authority (PA)...with all their threats and demands
for the past few weeks...doesn't get its way...at least with the Quartet.
Aww,
sniff, sniff, does anyone have a Kleenex?
The
Quartet on the Middle East is comprised of: the US, the UN, the EU and
Russia. Their ideas and proposals, in the past, have been lame, at best.
BUT, this proposal surely sends a message to Abbas and the PA, that
bully-bans extend all the way over to Gaza.
The
Quartet has proposed a timetable for revived talks and for a final resolution.
BUT it did not reach Abbas’ demand for a complete freeze of Jewish
building in Judea and Samaria and in areas of Jerusalem, which Abbas
insists on confiscating as the capital of the PA.
All
their pressure this week appears to be for naught. While they await a
vote, it is unlikely they will receive the number necessary (2/3 majority)
to gain Member State status.
And
the US has a veto dangling over their keffiyehs, as well.
Now,
the PA, consisting of the terror
groups Fatah & Hamas (although the US does not consider Fatah to be a
threat), still refuse to recognize Israel's right to exist. (Sidebar:
So, doesn't that make any negotiations/talks
moot, since both parties have to recognize the others existence, as a
prerequisite? I guess this is where Rod Serling steps into the picture...)
The
fecklessness, on the part of outsiders (the Quartet et al) to the conflict
ends up being pernicious and not quaint or humorous. Because the result of
world leaders accommodating the babblings and demands of a people who
daily commit crimes against humanity on innocent Israelis, is a body count
of precious blood. These crimes are both an act of commission by the
PA...coupled with the belittling or outright disregard of those lives,
which is an act of omission by those beyond the conflict.
Many
can play Macbeth here...
But,
for now...the Quartet is like the old Ford motto: They have a better
idea.
Shalom
through strength...

Not
An Agent Of "Hope"
September
28, 2011
"President
Obama's re-election strategy (class-warfare) unambiguously demonstrates
that he is not an agent of "Hope"--but rather a divisive,
sinister and self-serving politico who will (if need be) profoundly
polarize the country in order to achieve his political
objectives."---W.R. Ingoff

Tired
Talking Points
September
26, 2011
Despite
the mendacious and tired liberal talking points concerning the Middle
East: The acrimony, mayhem, violence and hyper Jew-hatred (which imbues
the region) is a direct result of Koranic dogma (better known as ISLAM).

Security
Council: Will The US Have To Be The Adult?
September
22, 2011
The
Palestinian Authority's (PA) dream of being Queen for a Day, were dashed
today...but their real thrashing will come in a Security Council vote...
Here's
a quick refresher on how this all works at the 'Useless Nations':
-
According
to the UN Charter, Article 27, Security Council decisions on all
substantive matters require the affirmative votes of 9 members.
There are 5 permanent members (US, UK, France, Russia & China).
-
Ten other members are elected by the General Assembly for
2-year terms starting on January 1st, with 5 replaced every year. The members are chosen by regional groups and confirmed by the United Nations General Assembly.
-
A
no vote, or veto, also known as the rule of "great power unanimity",
cast by a permanent member prevents adoption of a proposal, even if it has received the required number of affirmative votes (9).
The
US will veto the bid for Palestinian statehood, (and normally I would give
even Obama kudos for this, if his motives weren't dubious, due to an
election season)...therefore the bid is moot.
The
most disturbing fact is the prior blustering behavior by the PA, demanding
statehood...and promising that if it didn't get what it wanted, violence
could very well break out. Really? That sounds like the warning of a
bullying child threatening to trash the room if he didn't get his way.
Is
this the depths to which the world, in their trepidation of standing for
truth, have gone? That they will allow an entity (the PA), who is acting
more like Chuckie than a peace partner, call the shots?
It
looks like, once again, that the 'City upon a Hill' will have to lead the
way...even if it is by a man who would rather lead from behind.
Shalom
through strength...

Israel
& The PA: Making Nice With Hate
September 16, 2011
It's coming down to the wire. Israel has bent over backwards so many times to make peace with the Palestinian Authority (PA), they now look more like a pretzel than a State. All the compromises have been done by Israel and none by the 'Palestinians'.
It's been an inequitable relationship so far...Israel gives in on almost everything and the PA has it's minions pummel Israeli civilians into weariness to pressure their government to give more.
A bum deal to most rational people...but ostensibly, according to the global milieu so
far, the globe is replete with mentally challenged peeps...
The
PA's current finagling prior to the Durban III conference next week in
order to declare Statehood (Jew-Free with a capital of Jerusalem),
unequivocally proves that the 'Palestinians' are neither concerned with
negotiations nor peace with the Jewish State.
All
of Israel's efforts, albeit genuine, have been with people who have no
honor, no integrity and no mercy. Therefore, Israel's efforts have been in
vain because the beneficiaries of those acts find their sustenance on a
toxic drip of hate.
So
Israel's sincere acts toward peace, are met with suspicion...and will
never be viewed otherwise.
Note
to the befuddled among us: Making nice with hate, guarantees you the short
end of the stick...and in this case, the long end will keep whacking.
Shalom
through strength...

School's
Open And The Curriculum Is: HATE
September
14, 2011
On
Tuesday, the Samaria Military Court sentenced Hakim Awad, 18, who was convicted
of murdering 5 members of the Fogel family in Itamar last March, to five consecutive life sentences and another five years in prison,
totaling 130 years in jail.
Hakim Awad and his cousin Amjad Awad, 19, barbarically
murdered the Fogel family: Ehud Fogel, 36, Ruth Fogel, 35, 11-year-old Yoav, 4-year-old Elad and 2-month-old Hadas.
Amjad's
comments on his slaughter
of innocents: "I'm
proud of what I did...I don't regret what I did, even if it means I'm
sentenced to death."
Hakim's
comments on his slaughter of innocents: "I am
a person like you, I have no mental condition, I never had a serious
illness. My only illness is the Israeli occupation."
How
could teenagers become so hateful and calloused as to slaughter
innocents...and possess no remorse?
The
answer can be found in the culture of Jew-hatred manufactured,
manipulated and controlled by the Palestinian Authority (PA)...and
supported and also practiced by the Muslim Arab Street.
There
are myriad examples of the system that supports the corruption that is
deeply embedded in the young by the PA. Here are a few:
-
From elementary through high
school, are replete with powerful expressions of hatred towards
Israel.
-
Negation of
Israel's right to exist
and praise for the struggle against it.
-
Anti-Semitic terminology
against the Jews.
-
Calls to fight and eliminate Israel
via Holy War (Jihad) and Martyrdom for Allah (Shahada) appear habitually in PA schoolbooks, glorifying Shahada as an goal to be attained.
Quotes by Palestinian parents:
- "I'm prepared to sacrifice
my six children," said Mahmoud Sumara's mother, Halima. "I'm
serious. I don't mind if I lose them if that brings back al-Aqsa..." (NBC
News).
- Mother of female suicide
bomber, upon learning of her daughter's death: "I didn't scream, even my scarf stayed on my head. Everyone came.
Everyone heard what happened... I was sitting and started to sing to her. I said, 'It's the night before your wedding, Darin, and we won't see you anymore, my daughter.' People around me said, 'Allah be with you.' I said, 'I haven't gone mad, I'm not crazy. I want to sing, Darin is a bride.'"[PA TV (Fatah), Aug. 3, 2011]
- "I am happy that he [her 13-year-old son] has been martyred. I will sacrifice all my sons and daughters (12 in all) to Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem." (a mother to Sam Kiley of the London Times)
Quotes by Palestinian
children (powerful peer pressure):
- "We
meet everyday and decide. We just want to get Israeli's. I want to kill
them." (15-year-old Mahmoud Sumara on NBC News).
- "My purpose is not to be wounded, but something more sublime--martyrdom." (Ramahan Sahadi Abed Rabbah, age 13, tells PA paper
Al-Hayat).
- "I'm happy to die for my country, as long as a couple of Israeli soldiers die, too." (12-year-old schoolboy from Beit Jalah, Samir al-Mahari, tells the Jerusalem Post)
Poems and songs taught to the children follow the same recurring theme: The fortunate are those who are killed...attaining "Martyrdom".
The
list can go on interminably, including PA children's TV shows reinforcing
themes of bloodthirsty hate for Jews and for the State of Israel, naming
recreation areas after suicide bombers, surrounding the young in a milieu of
anger and detestation.
This
is what killers like Hakim and Amjad
were weaned on. A carefully concocted cocktail of hatred and lies, resulting
in the closest human examples of robotic assassins.
Yes,
it's a new school year. Time to nurture our children to grow into solid,
caring human beings. That is, of course, unless our children happen to be
living in a PA-controlled community...supported by the Arab Street and
ignored by the world/MSM media...
Shalom

Insidious Manipulation

Abbas'
Overplayed Hand
September
9, 2011
Despite
the numerous calls for the PA to renege on a declaration of a
Palestinian State at the UN, during Durban III, and return to the
negotiation table with Israel...Abbas has become even more intractable.
He is moving full steam ahead with a worldwide media campaign prior to
the September 21 motion at the UN for Palestinian statehood.
But
in foolishness, he's overplaying his hand...
First,
in his media campaign he used the words of Obama in a speech before the
UN General Assembly in 2010, in which he expressed hope (something he
does so well he even won a prize for it [Nobel]) of a Palestinian State
in a year. But Abbas is presenting it in a radio spot as a PROMISE by
Obama. A deception...something the PA are masters at...
Second,
a unilateral pronouncement of a
Palestinian state would be an illegal act that would violate U.N.
Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. Those resolutions, which are
binding, call for a negotiated settlement of the dispute between Israel
and the PA, which include 'secure and recognized borders'.
Abbas'
assumption that there's enough anti-Semitism in world governments and
world media, to bully his way into a State (with Jerusalem as their
capital), is simply a PA State of mind...not a reality. If this were a
time that didn't have a 24/7 news cycle, perhaps the fiend would be able
to have his way. But, alas, to his ultimate dismay...we're ALL watching.
And it will not be as he desires...and the PA will be further than ever
from an official PA State.
His
hatred for the Jewish State, as with his brethren, has caused him to go
too far. The results will NEVER be a State, because it's robbed from its
rightful owners. But rather, this arrogant and hateful move will cause
the loss of more innocent lives....
But
for Abbas and his ilk...that's not a problem, as long as the lives
lost...are Jewish.
Shalom
through strength...

Turkey's
Erdogan: Goes Gangsta
September
7, 2011
Sore
loser, cry baby, sour grapes...there are many terms for those who lose
in a fair competition, but whine incessantly about it. But I have a new
term to add to the lot: Turkey.
Since
their complicity in the first Gaza Flotilla, which backfired on them
tremendously...they have been in a pouting mode.
Here's
what happened, to Turkey's PM Erdogan's dismay:
-
The
Turkey-based IHH (terror-tied group) had the intention of provoking
the IDF with the flotilla...and their intentions were videotaped as they physically
assaulted the IDF upon boarding the flotilla to prevent its
entering the Gaza port.
-
The
violent attack by the flotilla occupants, of the Mavi Marmara, resulted in deaths
from a defensive action by the IDF.
-
The
world media and myriad world governments blamed Israel and called
the blockade "illegal"
-
UN
Palmer Report on the Gaza Flotilla of 2010 is released and unequivocally
upheld without reservation Israel's right to enforce a naval
blockade of Gaza and remarked as to why the Jewish state must take
extraordinary measures for self-defense: 1) To prevent Hamas from
importing weaponry after launching thousands of rockets into Israeli
civilian areas, 2) Preventing shipping into Gaza has a negligible
impact on Palestinians' quality of life...humanitarian aid still
reaches the people.
Turkish
PM Erdogan's response? He tosses the Israeli Ambassador out of the
country. Ooo tough guy.
Then
Erdogan demands Israeli diplomats get out of the country. Push the
peacemakers around...how gangsta...
Then
Erdogan suspends all trade with Israel!! Well, kinda...sshhh
After
making his Sopranos audition...his spokesperson later 'clarified' in the
Wall Street Journal that the prime minister had been referring in his
remarks only to trade in defense goods, and not to trade in general.
In
an attempt to sound like a big kahuna to the Muslim world...and because he
went gangsta...Erdogan made himself look like a gigantic mascot of his
country. And if I were him, I'd be worried...Thanksgiving is coming and
you know what some Westerners do with Turkeys.

Ample

Thursday's "Jobs" speech will proffer nothing new. It will be

Turkey:
Defiance In The Face Of Truth
September
3, 2011
The
Palmer Report, the UN report on the Gaza Flotilla Raid, is out. And it
proves Israel correct in their blockade.
And,
consequently, it proved Turkey WRONG.
So
what was Turkey's response to the report? First, they threw Israel's
Ambassador out of the country.
Ah,
grace under fire...
Second,
the Turkish navy will significantly strengthen its presence in the
eastern Mediterranean Sea. In other words...they will be a personal
escort for the next Gaza Flotilla.
Erdogan
to Israel, UN: Up Yours!
OR..."wah,
wah, wah...it didn't go my way"...
A
Turkish official was quoted saying, "We are looking for the best
timing for the visit...Our primary purpose is to draw the world’s
attention to what is going on in Gaza and to push the international
community to end the unfair embargo imposed by Israel."
Hmmm...unfair?
Why sure...it's unfair not to allow them to transfer weapons to their
brethren, and the enemies of Israel, to destroy the Jews. It's legal,
but oh so unfair...if you're a terrorist scum, I guess...
Since
the rebirth of the Jewish State in 1948, Turkey has seen a rise in
anti-Semitism. As Turkey's government has become more Islamic, by
membership in their parliament...which reflects the sentiments of the
population. And this has led to a recent surge in anti-Semitic literature,
most notably the sale of Mein Kampf, the autobiography of Adolf Hitler, a
bestseller throughout the country. Moreover, sales of the similarly themed
books like 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion' and Henry Ford's 'The
International Jew' have also increased. (Yes, that's Henry Ford, founder
of the Ford Motor Co., who published his anti-Semitic refuse out of
Dearborn, MI.)
The
Gaza blockade was necessary to prevent weapons from reaching Gaza. Weapons
used to target Israeli civilians. The UN confirmed the legality of the
blockade in the Palmer Report. That should be the end of the story.
Bust
as long as there are Muslims, there will be Jewish enemies. And as long as
there are Jewish enemies, there will never be peace in the Middle East or
anywhere else a Jew may set his foot.
Shalom
through strength...

Soccer
Fans: Making Sport of Hating Jews?
September
1, 2011
The
malignant contagion known as anti-Semitism, is on the rise yet again. The increase
of global anti-Semitism is alarming...and the tolerance of hateful
protests worldwide is inexcusable and reprehensible. And it's being
expressed at sports events. But predominantly at one sports event: Soccer.
Am
I picking on soccer? Nope...facts are facts.
Violence
has a history among fans of soccer. In the mid-1970s, a thuggish movement
began to spread from England to continental Europe, particularly to
Germany, Belgium, Italy and Holland. On average, there were violent
incidents at one of every ten games in these countries in the 1990s.
Police estimate that about 10% of soccer fans in these countries are prone
to violence. That may not sound like a large number, but 10% can be huge
when that violence is focused on you.
Since
that time, the loathing has been festering below the surface...and inaudibly,
just as real bigotry behaves...
Since
2006, there have been a growing number of incidents that have not been
addressed...similar to the one below (catalogued by the AJC):
"In
2006 there were a number of antisemitic and racist incidents in German
soccer, especially in the lower leagues, that were widely reported in the
media. During a game between the second professional league clubs Dynamo
Dresden and FC Energie Cottbus in December 2005, Cottbus fans displayed a
large banner with the word “Juden” (Jews) flanked by two stars of
David. The letter “d” in “Juden” was identical to the emblem of
the opposition team Dynamo Dresden. TV viewers saw an antisemitic banner
that was not confiscated by the police or the marshals. No sports
officials imposed penalties on the Cottbus soccer club, despite the fact
that the photo of the banner was widely publicized in the media."
Ignored
sentiments reminiscent of the subtle hatred that eventually sent 6 million
Jews to their death...and in a Fatherland that is still stained with the
stench of death. That is NOT a good sign of things to come.
But,
of course, this is not limited to Germany. There have been incidents
reported in soccer fields all over the EU...including Spain, Italy,
France...etc. And more recently in the Netherlands (with shouts of
"Hamas, Hamas. Jews To Gas").
Is
the US the only country where the citizens would never tolerate this
hatred toward the Jewish people at a sports event...or anywhere else, for
that matter? Besides the fact that our sports are far better than any
found elsewhere in the world (excluding Rugby)...and yes, our fans may be
rowdy at times...and have team-spirit rowdy-dows on occasion....but we
would NEVER allow or encourage such sick rhetoric.
Sadly,
it's clear that there is something now endemic to soccer fans that brings
out a twisted form of anti-Semitism not seen since Adolf had his good
little Bundists click their heals and follow him. A verbal hate that lays
the groundwork for another slow, methodical walk toward another
Shoah.
Is
there something about soccer that brings out Jew-hatred in a fan? I hope
not...because 10% is 10% too much for me.
Shalom
through strength...
