Boosting Barbarians

February 3, 2012

Most will agree that when you have a history that is less than stellar...you make every effort to distance yourself from it, as far as possible. And in the case of the descendents of the Third Reich...light-years away...

That is what makes their recent behavior quite puzzling.

Germany is considered, under Chancellor Angela Merkel, to be one of Israel's most loyal allies. This week, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle announced they are upgrading 'Palestinian' diplomatic representation in Berlin from a delegation to a mission headed by an ambassador. Now it's true that France, Spain, Portugal and Ireland have already taken similar actions, and true these countries have dubious histories with Israel, but Germany's move is more concerning.

Their anti-Semitic history going back to the Hep-Hep Riots of 1819, to their connection with Islam during WWII, Germany should steer clear of any and all traces of their illicit past...and this move to show honor to Israel's enemies is troubling, at best.

The PA (Palestinian Authority) has displayed paltering in their agreements with Israel, violence and barbaric behavior toward Israeli civilians, and have been the vanguard of hate in the region.

Is this the team the Heinies want to back?

To the German government: Shouldn't you be focusing on a true tabula rasa with the Jewish people, rather than mimicking a dog returning to its vomit?

It's worth a pregnant pause to ponder your process...

Shalom through strength...

A Good Reason For Israel NOT To Trust Us: Politicos With Verbarrhea

February 1, 2012

The ranks of the Dangerous Weenies is growing exponentially today with the addition of yet another politico...

Dictionary.com defines 'secret' as: done, made, or conducted without the knowledge of others. That's precisely what Mossad* chief Tamir Pardo made the mistake of assuming when he paid a visit to D.C. to discuss a possible strike on Iran, this week.

His visit was supposed to be surreptitious...but a Lib politician couldn't control her pie-hole...

The Chairwoman of the US Senate Intelligence Committee, Dianne Feinstein, infected with the disease, verbarrhea (diarrhea of the mouth), spilled the beans at a committee hearing. BUT...the he hearing was being broadcast LIVE on US television.

Now, being the CHAIRWOMAN of an 'intelligence' committee, you would hope she would have known to keep her anterior orifice shut. Which brings me to ask this question...

Did Feinstein intentionally 'slip' due to her disdain for the Jewish State (she supports the division of Jerusalem), OR...did she miss too many doses of Aricept?

There really is NO other explanation for such behavior by the head of an Intel board. And at a time as perilous as this...with Iran on the precipice of possessing a nuclear weapon and the 'streamlining' of military by an anti-Military president...crazy glue should be the ONLY thing passing Feinstein's lips.

Allow me to end with this...I want to thank the Left for their generosity. They continue to provide, exclusively, an ever-increasing number of Dangerous Weenies for my list.

Tragically, my list is the only thing not in peril by their actions.

Shalom through strength...

*Mossad - Mossad is short for HaMossad leModi'in uleTafkidim Meyuchadim (Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations). The Mossad is responsible for intelligence collection and covert operations for Israel.

ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR THE TROOPS

'Checkpoint' Agenda: Tares Tainting The Wheat, Roiling Jew-Hatred

January 27, 2012

Soon, Israelis and Jews worldwide will be celebrating Purim...For those of you who forgot the Biblical story...a quick recap: Esther, a beautiful Jewish teenager, becomes queen of Persia. Haman, an ambitious and arrogant bureaucrat, turns his envy of the Jew, Mordecai, into a vendetta against the entire Jewish population of Persia. But His plot to destroy the Jewish people is exposed by the courage of Esther, and Haman is taken away and executed. Mordecai then becomes prime minister and is honored. Esther remains queen. And the Jewish people are spared from extermination.

It's celebrated with the sounds of greggers (to drown out the name of Haman), Queen Esther Beauty Pageants, and the noshing of hamantaschen.

Yet while the Jewish people are celebrating this victory, a hateful group of faux Christians will be gathering like a gaggle of goons, to attempt to persuade Christian Zionists to join them in their Jew-hatred.

But their efforts will do much more in the region than they may realize or intend...

Bethlehem Bible College is hosting a conference known as, 'Christ at the Checkpoint'...with assistance from 'Christian' leaders that claim their stance is nonpolitical and 'biblical'. A good deal of support (some of the speakers head some of America's largest churches) support the 'Palestinian' struggle for freedom in their "occupied land" (the term 'occupied' gives their bias away). One speaker is the author of a book that is forwarded by Haneen Zoabi, an extremist Arab Knesset Member, who in 2010 called for the start of a third terrorist intifada, or uprising, against Israel.

Sounds apolitical to me...

This assembly of evil, cloaked in Christianity, will further stoke the miasma in the region...and sadly, in many eyes, put a stamp of approval on hate against the Jewish State for those too busy to uncover the truth.

Shalom through strength...

Obama: When A Fool Meets Foreign Policy

January 24, 2012

Iran, Ahjad and the Strait of Hormuz. Sounds like a children's fable...but this concerns nothing so benign.

As I recently mentioned, the Strait of Hormuz is where approximately 14 tankers carrying 15.5 million barrels of crude oil pass through daily. This makes it one of the world's most strategically important channels.

We know this. The world knows this. And in particular, Iran knows this.

“Austere Challenge 12,” a military exercise that was planned between the US Military and the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) has now been cancelled. Not by Israel but by the Obama administration. It was to be a show of combined strength in response to Iran's saber-rattling...and according to Obama, it was cancelled in order to avoid an escalation with Iran.

Why that's up there with the Captain of the Costa Concordia..."yellow is my fave color"...

Let's get back to basics...you cannot show the Muslim world weakness. It views compromise, tolerance, and second-chances as a vulnerability to be conquered. Our military leaders know this quite well. But this administration is fecklessly and perilously dense in this area.

And that will adversely affect the free non-Muslim world.

As the Spanish proverb goes, "What a fool does in the end, the wise do in the beginning."

If we wait for Obama to do what should've been done at the start (show some testicular fortitude)...we'll soon be the nuclear ash settling on the flea of a camel's tukis.

And that's foreign policy that deserves the nuclear option.

Shalom through strength...

Israel Knows Something We Forgot: If You Want To Win, Shut Up!

January 20, 2012

"If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan your mission properly."
- Col. David Hackworth

Israel has a brilliant military, comparable only to our own. Strategically astute, disciplined and diligent in their protection of their people. Yet, they work arduously to prevent collateral damage (the deaths of innocents)...with warnings to civilians well in advance of a defensive attack in a civilian area.

And they do one more thing that ensures a victory when dealing with their enemies: They shut up!

That's right, they keep their lips zipped concerning their military movements. Something our civilian leaders are apparently too dense to comprehend. If you announce, to the press, when and where you will carry out an operation, chances are good that your adversary will learn of your plans, be there before you...and arrange a welcoming committee!

For this reason, I guffawed when the AP reported that Israel’s defense minister, Ehud Barak, said his country is “very far off” from choosing whether to launch a military strike on Iran’s nuclear program. He wouldn't designate when a decision might be made.

Now, did the AP really think the Israelis were going to let them take a look at their playbook? Perhaps they did, since our Commander-in-Chief is taken with episodes of verbosity concerning our military plans.

But alas and alack...their hopes were dashed.

A teachable moment for our leaders: Analyze, galvanize, strategize...then shut your mouth and open your eyes and give the enemy a big surprise. In other words: Israelize!

Shalom through strength...

Mr. Peanut's Nutty Adventure

January 18, 2012

"I will say today that they have pledged to me and to the world that they will take an objective view, the Muslim Brotherhood, and that they will govern as one of the major parties in the new parliament in a balanced way and respect the human rights of others who might have a different approach to religions." Jimmy Carter, former U.S. President on Al Jazeera English

It's sad when public figures display symptoms of mental illness...and sadder still when it's a former US President. But when one is blatant in his display and is encouraged by his peers, it can be perilous for those who are affected by it.

The Mayo Clinic defines Depersonalization Disorder as persistently or repeatedly having a sense that things around you aren't real. Feelings of depersonalization can be very disturbing and may feel like you're losing your grip on reality or living in a dream.

Poor Jimmy Dhimmi...the old goober is losing it quickly...

The opening quote was stated on Jimmy's recent adventure to Egypt, after a cup of tea with the MB. Perhaps he's been living in a cave, like his admirers...and is unaware of the Muslim Brotherhood's (MB) background and declarations. In case he missed these poignant facts, let's help him check a look at a few of them:

Established in 1902 by Ibn Saud and with the revival of Wahhabism (extremist and purest form of Islam). Saud created Wahhabi indoctrination centers (Ikhwan, meaning brotherhoods).
The discovery of Saudi oil reserves in 1920 eventually became the bank for today's jihad.
In 1928, the MB was established in Egypt by Hassan El Banna (who worked along with Hitler).
The MB is built upon Wahhabi foundations.
Amin Al-Husseini (Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during the Nazi reign of terror) became a prominent member of MB. Al-Husseini was an architect, with Hitler, of the 'Final Solution' for the Jews.
In 1948, Egyptian-born Yasser Arafat became a member of the MB. He worked under Al-Husseini from the age 17. He popularized the hijacking of airliners.
In 1978, the first offspring of MB, Jihad Islami, was founded in Egypt, in response to the Camp David Agreement. Group's goal is to restore Islamic Wahhabi autocracy in Egypt.
In 1987, Hamas was founded in Gaza...the offspring of the MB.
First and Second Intifadas (1987-2002) were instigated by Hamas.
In 1988, Saudi-born Osama Bin Laden strengthened his ties with Al-Zahawiri of Jihad Islami. He created Al Qaeda, a strongly anti-Western network of ex-Mujahedeen. Al Qaeda means ‘the Base'.
They have branches in 70 countries (including the US).
They have been responsible for murdering over 10 million people in half a century.
In Feb. 2012, Muhammad Ghannem, a leading member of the MB in Egypt, told the Arabic-language Iranian news network Al-Alam: "The people should be prepared for war against Israel. The Egyptian people are prepared for anything to get rid of this regime."
MB deputy leader Dr. Rashad Bayoumi began 2012 with a confrontational interview published in the Arabic daily al-Hayat, where he insisted that MB will not recognize Israel “under any circumstance.” Bayoumi continued that “we do not recognize Israel at all. [Israel is] an occupying criminal enemy.”
MB Motto: "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."

These are simply a few facts that Jimmy appears to have 'missed' in his assessment of the MB. Not to mention the fact that the MB abides by/promotes Sharia Law and also subscribes to the doctrine of Taqiyya, in which a Muslim can lie to infidels (like Jimbo) for the sake of Islam.

Perhaps Hamas has dropped him from their payroll and he's going to the source? Or perhaps he failed to get on the X Factor and is looking for a spotlight anywhere? Or maybe he should be on SSRIs to treat his Depersonalization Disorder ASAP?

Whatever the reason, I believe it's well past time for this dangerous weenie to grab his cane and monocle and shuffle on back to the goober factory...before some elephant accidentally mistakes him for the groundnut and tries to crack his shell.

Shalom through strength...

Obama: The Pierre Laval To The Muslim World?

January 12, 2012

Most of the discussion, which the mainstream media has been unable to control or suppress, has been about the insurmountable debt and the double digit (in most areas) unemployment rate. But all that pales in comparison to the ever-increasing volatility of our national security.

Many, including myself, have considered the President, and his super-genius VP, to be clueless on foreign affairs. But my recent research into WWII has caused me to change my perspective on Barry Obama's foreign policy acumen...

Adolf and his malevolent minions had a great deal of assistance in their machinations. From dangerous weenie appeasers like Neville Chamberlain...to fascist fiends like Benito Mussolini, self-serving politicos agreed with Der Fuehrer to gain their little kingdoms. One, in particular, was found to be a traitor and executed for his aid to the enemy: Pierre Laval, head of the Vichy government.

Laval was responsible for deporting thousands of foreign Jews to the Death Camps for Hitler, in order to keep his little kingdom. He also dealt harshly with the French Resistance, by allowing the Gestapo to hunt them down.

He chose, in his megalomaniacal search for significance, to be human waste...and he accomplished that goal.

Fast forward to 2012...

We have a Commander-in-Chief that has bowed to our enemies, dissed our friends, and enabled maniacal monsters like the Muslim Brotherhood...and most in the Muslim world (Arab Street), to believe we are paper tigers, weak and conquerable.

Well, if Mr. Obama was as astute as his sycophants swear he is, then shouldn't he KNOW that reaching out to a terrorist organization sends the Muslim world the wrong message for our national security?

Is he a modern-day Laval, assisting those whose goal is to convert, enslave or eliminate us? Or is he as dumb as a stump?

Either way, he has proven, unequivocally, to be unfit to serve the people of this great Republic.

John Wayne was correct when he said, "Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid." Yes harder for US, when the leader of the free world is the stupid one.

Is Iran Auditioning For Davy Jones Locker?

January 10, 2012

So they (Iran) are saber rattling in the Strait of Hormuz...where about 14 tankers carrying 15.5 million barrels of crude oil pass through daily, which makes it one of the world's most strategically important channels.

But do the maniacal Mullahs of the Islamic Regime of Iran know that?

You betcha...and they are counting on the cowardice displayed by the Obama administration to taint Israel into cowering as well...but they appear to be in for a big surprise...

Several weeks ago, Commander of the Third Air Force of the U.S. Military, Lt. Gen. Frank Gorenc, arrived in Israel to prep for a joint training exercise. A major missile defense exercise, “the biggest one ever” according to military sources. “Austere Challenge 12” drill is designed to improve defense systems and collaboration between the U.S. and Israeli forces.

Look at that...the two 'Satans' are teaming up. (According to Ahjad and the Mullahs, the US is the 'Great Satan' and Israel is the 'Little Satan'.)

Will we jointly (or even as a supporting party) strike Iran's nuclear facilities?

We (and Israel) clearly have no choice. What the West is dealing with is deranged religious zealots who have no qualms about launching a nuclear assault on innocents because they believe it will usher in a twisted 12th Imam or Mahdi...who will lead all Muslims and convert or kill all infidels.

And unlike the Nazis or the former Soviets: They don't mind dying to bring it all to pass.

A caveat to the Mullahs: Keep up your Naval exercises in the Strait, and we might take it as an audition for Davy Jones' Locker...and happily accommodate.

Shalom through strength...

Obama: Doing More TO Israel, Than FOR Israel

January 5, 2012

NY Magazine, in a tinfoil hat moment, dubbed him the first Jewish president. It's as loony as Nobel prizewinner Toni Morrison, calling Bill Clinton “our first black president.

But considering Barack Obama a Jewish kindred spirit is beyond loony...it's like calling David Duke a Christian...

From his years in a 'church' that followed Black Liberation Theology and reprinted the Hamas Manifesto the year before his election...to his long-term relationship with the anti-Semitic Jeremiah Wright (a long time critic of Israel & Zionism)...to his ties to/relationship with Rashid Khalidi and the Arab American Action Network...

Obama has made it unequivocal on what side of the Israeli security fence he has chosen to stay...and it doesn't don a Magen David.

But, in case you are of the ilk that chooses, despite the empirical evidence, to believe that Barry has changed (because you have a fondness for the word change)...allow me to lay some proof of his recent disdain, on you...

He chose the leader of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated group (ISNA, an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror funding case) to recite a prayer during his January 2009 inauguration.
His first call to a foreign leader was to Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas.
His foreign policy have been very much aligned with the recommendations of Robert Malley, Mideast Director of the International Crisis Group (ICG). Malley has written a plethora of op-eds condemning Israel, absolving Palestinians and urging the U.S. to disengage from Israel.
He chose Cairo to give his first speech to the Muslim world...a country that rhapsodized the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem...the mastermind behind Hitler's Final Solution.

Not to mention how abominably he treated Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu, personally (dissing him upon his first and second visit to DC), and through Biden and Hillary (and more recently Panetta).

So, any of my Jewish brethren that will, in light of this tip of the iceberg of info, STILL cast a vote for Barry: Hasn't WWII taught you anything?

We don't need another crew of Kapos.

What America Cannot Afford In 2012: Another Anti-Israel Prez

January 2, 2012

It's here...election year...and after the economic and foreign affairs hit-job performed by the current occupant of the White House: Our votes have NEVER been more critical.

From Gaza to Iran and from Egypt to Turkey, Israel's enemies are on the rise and, as Franklin Graham has said, "...they will line up against Israel and we will see another round of wars like we saw in '67 and later in '73."

Graham is spot on...and much of this uniting of Islamists can be laid on Obama's head. He is, without exception (and in opposition to NY Magazine's delusion), the first anti-Israel president in US history (including Carter, an enemy of the Jewish State, but was not so blatant while in office).

Why does this matter? Because Israel is the West in the Middle East. Perception is everything in the Mohammedan's mind. And Barry has given our enemies (and Israel's) the unequivocal message that we are weak 'infidels', able to be conquered and that we have abandoned our only true friend in the region.

This imperils Israel. This imperils us.

Much damage has been done by the Nimrod-in-Chief. But it's not too late to adjust the perception of our enemies. We have a long history of support for the tiny Jewish State. The majority of the American people, led by evangelical Christians, are the most devoted advocates of Israel and must now exhibit that advocacy by insuring that we never again place an individual at the helm of our great nation, that has a deeply rooted disdain for the Jewish State.

Most of those in the GOP field have already made their allegiances known. For Israel: Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, Romney (marginally due to his ignorance of Islam), and Huntsman. Against Israel: Ron Paul.

Please choose wisely.

Hariri: Warning From A Weenie

December 15, 2011

Don't you just love how the craven seem to attempt to regain their virility long after their cowardly behavior has put everyone in peril?

One such miniscule male is former PM of Lebanon, Saad Hariri. This apple fell miles from its tree. His dad, Rafik Hariri, gave his life for his stand for his nation. Rafik attempted to save Lebanon's sovereignty from Iran's stronghold by Hezbollah. He fought Iran's venal toddies and died for that stand (he was assassinated by Hezbollah). Then his son Saad brought disgrace on his father's memory by handing the reigns of the country over to his father's murderers.

Saad stepped down as PM following pressure from Hezbollah. Iran's barbarians, fed by Syria...have slowly but surely, swallowed the Lebanese government...with the aid of invertebrates like Hariri.

And the coward arises...

After handing the majority of the Lebanese government over to the terror group Hezbollah, Hariri accused that government of being "in a coma" after rockets fell in south Lebanon (they targeted a French UNIFIL [The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon] patrol, where 5 peacekeepers and 2 civilians were hurt). He 'warned' that the south of the country shouldn't be used “as a platform to settle regional and international scores.”

Who committed the acts? Well, it was intended to scare the peacekeepers away from the southern border so Hezbollah can prep and launch the next Lebanon War with Israel. So, let me see...hmm...could it be Syria backed by its Puppet Master Iran? A serious no-brainer...

But back to Saad the skulker...

His voice should be ignored. The moment he abdicated his position of leadership to a group of Islamist fiends, was the day his voice of influence should be heard no more. He went from leader to loser in one step. A step down...and he continues in that direction.

Enablers of evil deserve to be disregarded. Hariri is simply that. Time to turn off his mic.

Shalom through strength...

Egyptian Voters: Complicit In Their Own Demise?

December 13, 2011

When the Egyptian protests began in January of this year, the world media...with the US major media in the vanguard...dispersed reports that the Egyptians wanted democracy.

But for those of us that understand the nature of Islam and actually heard random interviews in the crowd of protesters: The reports were grossly erroneous and misleading and the election results and current Islamist milieu in Egypt confirms that reality.

The Egyptians were well aware of what made the Muslim Brotherhood tick: Sharia. And that was just fine with them. Even the women, who are subject to cruel treatment by men, under Sharia, stood in long lines in the rain to vote. The result was a 60% Islamist majority (40% Muslim Brotherhood and 20% Islamist Salafist).

That means Sharia Law is on the way...

The only people in 'The Gift of the Nile' that truly desire freedom are the Coptic Christians and the Jews (whose numbers are dwindling as you read this). The Copts make up 10% of the population, while there are only 100 Jews left and they reside in Cairo. Their Judeo-Christian principles are the foundation of free societies...NOT Islam. And therefore, these minorities have been and ARE being persecuted vehemently. And with the newly elected Islamist leadership, there is little hope that they will remain, if they survive.

In every nation that treasures liberty, only Judeo-Christian principles can be the foundation. There is no room for freedom or individual rights in a Quran-based society crushed by Sharia Law.

Was the Egyptian vote tantamount to hiring a hit on the Land of the Pharaohs? Well, if electing a brood of barbaric, misogynistic, intolerant jihadists isn't a clue...I don't know what is.

The Gospel Trail: Only Israel Would Be So Gracious

And Israel knows how to show their appreciation...

This week, the Israel Tourism Ministry (via the Israel Government Tourist Corporation) and the Jewish National Fund unveiled the Gospel Trail. A 40-mile long pilgrimage route and biking path linking most of the major sites of Jesus’ ministry in the Galilee from Nazareth to Capernaum. The cost was 3 million and took 3 years to develop.

The Gospel Trail is a nod to Christian tourists, who have outnumbered Jewish tourists to the Holy Land in recent years. The trail traces the footsteps of Jesus. It begins at Mount Precipice on the periphery of Nazareth in lower Galilee, the track winds eastward to include Tabgha, the traditional site of Jesus’ miracle of the loaves and fishes, and the Mount of Beatitudes, where he delivered his Sermon on the Mount. It concludes at Capernaum on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus taught for 3 years.

The trail is peppered with New Testament quotes in English, Hebrew and Arabic engraved into basalt boulders, and includes shaded rest areas and picnic spots.

By extending itself to Christians worldwide, Israel has not diminished its Jewish roots but rather endeared more and more Christians to the Holy Land by this act. An act that exemplifies the Jewish Roots of Christianity...

Only Israel would be so gracious.

This is yet another example that has acted like a magnifying glass on the Muslim world...because it is something that cannot be said of Islam (whose foundation has suffered from root-rot from it's inception). An ideology which is a rip-off of Judaism and Christianity...with a little paganism, perversion and misogyny mixed in. They just left out the Judeo-Christian principles of love, mercy and forgiveness.

The Jewish people, yet again, prove that the principles of the G-d of Israel...will always win hearts and minds.

Shalom through strength...

Did You Know?

December 7, 011

Did you know that the Midamar Corporation (a US based company) is the largest distributor of Halal food? Did you also know that it received almost $2 million in stimulus money?

What we all need to know is that Halal food is prepared according to the dictums of a law that is violently antithetical to our Constitution--Sharia.

Egypt's Sharia Gov't: Bad Moon Rising

December 6, 2011

Caveat after caveat was given by analyst after analyst...but to no avail. The Muslim Brotherhood was looking for a way to parlay the riots that occurred in Egypt, to their advantage. And the results of the first in a three-phase election scheduled to last until early January, have confirmed that...

Egypt will be the next Islamic State.

The Egyptian people chose 40-45% Muslim Brotherhood, who wants Sharia Law as the Law of the land, and 20% of the vote was taken by the Islamist Salafist party, who also wants Sharia.

That means 65% of the Egyptian government will be terrorist and in control, and the probability of the draconian fist of Islam coming down on Egyptians is guaranteed.

The suppression and abuse of women: Guaranteed.
The abuse of children: Guaranteed.
The persecution of Coptic Christians to rise to historic proportions: Guaranteed.
The planned destruction of the Jewish State: Guaranteed.

It's true that Mubarak was a dictator. But he was tolerable. He kept the agreement he made with Israel. But that's all a pleasant memory now...

The prospect of another neighbor whose government's goal is to murder innocent Jews and Christians, is a nightmare scenario. It's one that Israel has not had to deal with, on that border, for some time.

The emergence of the star and crescent moon, in any country, is always a bad sign because the ideology it represents is barbaric. But the emergence of this star and crescent is surely a bad moon rising.

The Terror Tax Transfer

December 2, 2011

By now, unless one is living under a rock...or has the IQ of one...it's unequivocal that, along with their ilk, the Palestinian Authority (PA) is on a mission. They are not surreptitious about their ambition: Destroy the State of Israel.

They state this in their charters. And have never reneged on that goal. They began this particular campaign, with their Arab/Muslim brethren, the very DAY Israel rebirthed as a nation: May 14, 1948. Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq didn't come with an ordinary welcome wagon...it had a fuse.

Nothing has changed, since that time, except...the list of bloodthirsty enemies has grown and become well-financed and organized. With the help of degenerate monsters like Yasser Arafat, when he wasn't lining his pockets with money extorted from Western nations...he was brainwashing the young, arming them...and aiming them at innocent Israelis.

The constant venal bombardment of 'education' to hate the Jewish nation and people, and the arming of the militant terror groups splintered-off from the PA government (Hamas-Fatah) must be well-funded. And sadly, it is...

Israel has collected tax revenue for the PA, and today that amounts to $100M/month...to enable it to run as a government. But, their murderous behavior and acts have forced Israel...on several occasions...to withhold those dollars from the PA. The most recent incident was the PA's unilateral demand for recognition of statehood, and UNESCO inviting them in as a member.

The tax revenues were frozen.

Now, Israel, yet again...is extending an olive branch to the PA to hopefully resume relations with the terrorist government. Israel is releasing the revenues.

Good idea? Nope...

Tragic idea. Those funds will assuredly be used to continue the terror campaign upon innocent and peace-loving Israelis. Unless the funds come with a tracking device to insure proper use, the violence will not cease, because the PA's modus operandi is enduring...just like Sheol.

Shalom through strength...

Occupied: To Be Used On Bathrooms, Only

November 29, 2011

Occupied. A funny term. It usually comes to mind when you've drank too much on an airplane and need to visit that tiny closet with blue water. When you need it the most, what is it? OCCUPIED.

But there's become an axiomatic use of the term, when it comes to politics and the Middle East, that needs to be clarified...because it's interminable...the use of the word 'occupied' concerning Israel in her own land. Jew-haters, liberals and their ilk continue to delegitimize the Jewish State and its right to the land. Jews are commonly referred to as 'occupiers' building 'illegal' settlements. But is this position true?

Let's settle this semantical subterfuge...

Merriam-Webster defines occupied as: To take possession and control of (a place), as by military invasion. That, of course, would not apply if one already owns a piece of land and is protecting its sovereignty.

Which is the case with the Jewish people and the Holy Land. Consider these facts:

The Jewish people are indigenous to Israel and have maintained a presence in the land for over 3,000 years, demonstrated by a plethora of historical and archeological evidence. So, 'occupying' your OWN land is, well, an impossibility. Lord Balfour (Balfour Declaration 1917) recognized Israel's claim to their homeland (which included the West and East banks of the Jordan River).
In 1967, there was NO Arab state known as Palestine. Israel took over the West Bank in a defensive act against Jordan, when Jordan launched a war with Egypt and Syria to destroy Israel. Jordan was in the West Bank illegally since its prior attempt to destroy Israel...in 1948. No one, including the other Arab states, recognized Jordan's occupation of the West Bank.
UN Resolution 181 recommended a 2-state solution. One Arab and one Jewish. The Jews agreed and began a State. The Arabs refused and launched a war on the newly created State of Israel. Resolution 181 was a 'recommendation' and had NO legal standing.
An armistice line was formed in 1949, BUT had no political significance whatsoever. THIS is the line referred to as '1967 borders'...which is erroneous. It is NEITHER a border NOR was it formed in 1967.

Israel has a legal right to the land. Its presence in the West Bank is the result of defensive acts. The West Bank was annexed by Trans-Jordan illegally and used to destroy the nascent State. And since the West Bank had no legal sovereign...it cannot be occupied, but rather disputed.

Occupied, concerning Jews and the Jewish State, should clearly be retired from use. It is provocative and meant to incite hatred toward the Jews...as Arab States have made a practice for centuries.

Occupied is a political term....and in this case, it is NOT correct. So, as Israel's Deputy MFA, Danny Ayalon, so aptly puts it: "So please, let's stop using 'occupied territories' and '67 borders'...they're just not 'politically correct'."

Let's leave it for the bathroom door.

Shalom through strength...

Thanksgiving Proclamation

Issued in 1789

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:

A PROCLAMATION

Plaque on the right side of

Federal Hall National Memorial, NYC

"Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor — and Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me 'to recommend to the

People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.'

"Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be — That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks — for his kind care and protection of the People of this country previous to their becoming a Nation — for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war — for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed — for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted, for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

"And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions — to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually — to render our national government a blessing to all the People, by constantly being a government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed — to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord — To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and Us — and generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Suha's Sorrow: Steal Today, Run Tomorrow

November 18, 2011

It's been 7 years since the death of the Rodent of Ramallah, Yasser Arafat. But no worries...his widow is still stealing to keep herself in luxury...apparently the billions he stole from the people he used as weapons to beat up Israel, has been burned by her tubby tukis.

Yasser's personal fortune was estimated at between $2 and $3 billion, most of which was in Swiss bank accounts. He would have been worth a lot more if he hadn't fallen on hard times in exile (1982-1993), when Arafat was worth up to $5 billion, mostly due to drug trafficking in Lebanon.

This is the fiend that Peres called a "Partner for Peace"...an obvious perception problem.

So back to Suha...well the greedy little pretend wife of the grandfather of modern terrorism (and a pedophile), was just not satisfied with the mass of money robbed from the PA...she robbed a few million herself. She's on the run from the authorities...

Nope, not a rumor...it's reality. Tunisia issued an international arrest warrant for Suha, who is wanted for purportedly absconding with Tunisian government and PA funds that were intended to be used to build a school.

And you'll love this...she was interviewed, before the warrant was issued, concerning some of the stolen money which had been used to build a playground for her and Yasser's daughter, Zahwa. “After 50 years of working for Palestine, does Arafat not deserve to have a playground for his daughter? He didn't buy jewelry or build factories for her. All he did was build a little playground in Tunisia," she remarked.

Really? Is that all the filthy terrorist/embezzler did? He looted the lowly, not to lavish hag and arm his minions to kill innocent Jewish civilians...but to build an ity bity pwaygwound? With other people's money (sounds like a Lib)?

The only schmuck buying that is on the run from Tunisian authorities...and I'm thinking her couture alone will slow her down.

Disaster: Forgetting Who We Are and Missing Who They Are

November 16, 2011

"So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.

"If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.

"If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself."

~Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Let me ask you a question: Who proposed the resolution to create the various Cabinet positions within the Executive Branch of our government and twelve amendments to the Constitution of which ten became the Bill of Rights? Who organized the first volunteer fire company in 1736, called the Union Fire Company?

Stumped? Most Americans would be...(James Madison & Ben Franklin)

As we move closer to the end of 2011, one of the most tragic realities is that Americans are forgetting where they came from. Assaulted by the mantra of multiculturalists, the absence of truth and facts in the classroom, Americans are being placed in a perilous position for the future of the greatest nation on earth.

What makes our situation vastly vulnerable is the fact that we also do NOT know or understand who our most aggressive enemy is (followers of Islam). And that actuality may very well cost us our freedoms...and eventually our lives.

There is a major difference between Middle East Muslim society and Western Judeo-Christian society. Muslims, as individuals and communally, are profoundly religious, with their faith being rooted firmly in the Quran and Sharia Law. Most Muslims perform their religious duties (the five pillars of Islam). Unlike the liberty found in a Judeo-Christian society, there is no widespread secular phenomenon...Sharia assures complete obedience to the Quran so there is no room for secularism...or separation of Mosque and State.

This distinction cannot be overlooked. Their mindset is at odds with the West in every meaningful way. To overlook this is to do so at our own peril.

And this is precisely what our leaders and the media are doing.

But hope is not lost. There is unprecedented access to information and global resources from authorities on this ideology. And there's always the opportunity to research our founding documents (and the sage men who created them)...and still pass this info on to another generation.

Acting post haste is not optional if we are to prevent the hordes of liberty-loathers drooling at the thought of imprisoning us under their draconian dictates.

Some simple steps for maintaining our freedoms, that we so treasure:

Educate ourselves on OUR OWN history.
Educate ourselves on the ideology of Islam.
Inform the ill-informed media of the facts (something they care little about, as of late).
Share this info with candidates who are requesting our support in the next election.
And if elected, tell your representatives to be sure to insert their spine prior to taking office...they have to stand up for US, not vice versa.

Know ourselves. Know our enemy. It's been a winning strategy for centuries...no reason to abandon it now.

Shalom through strength...

Obama/Sarkozy Incident: The De-Evolution Of Journalism

November 11, 2011

"Journalism consists largely in saying "Lord Jones died" to people who never knew Lord Jones was alive." --G. K. Chesterton

According to the International Federation of Journalists, journalistic codes of ethics share common elements including the principles of: Truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness and public accountability...as these apply to obtaining newsworthy information and its ensuing propagation to the public.

In other words: Tell it like it IS, not how you'd like it to be!

Yet in our lifetime...we have observed the corruption of what was once a noble profession. And no more discouraging example than what occurred at the recent G20 meeting.

The proud-to-be left-leaning media have been relentless in its persecution of GOP members when they made careless mistakes. BUT, if you happen to be one of their crew, like Barry Obama...you get an unequivocal pass. He has, in a brief time, racked up quite a plethora of gaffes, including: 'visiting 57 (US) States'; as Commander-in-Chief pronouncing Corpsman as "Corpse-man" several times in a speech, etc.

But his backbiting remark about the PM of the Jewish State, got more than a pass...it got a commitment of nondisclosure...

The incident involved Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy having what they thought was a private conversation regarding their mutual dislike of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The 'unbiased' media members present agreed to sign a document promising not to publish the derogatory comments. "There were discussions between journalists and they agreed not to publish the comments due to the sensitivity of the issue," an anonymous journalist told the French website, Arret Sur Images.

Really? Why not share the info? Wasn't it news...or was it precisely how they themselves felt about the Israeli PM and they were feeling a wee bit convicted.

What a sad and tragic day when it's finally realized that true journalism...the reporting of facts as they occur...is revised to fit the predilections of amateur amanuenses.

Vive les faits (long live the facts)!!

Israel: War-Ready Since 1948

November 8, 2011

"To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace." --George Washington

Shalom, or peace through strength is a long-time position of wisdom. It is a state of mind that accepts the reality that there is evil in this world, determined to destroy innocents. And the only way to protect innocent civilians is to be ready for war...at ALL times.

Former President Ronald Reagan knew this well. A man whose sage pillars of national security policy were (as Peter Huessy puts it): "Peace through strength;" "Trust but verify; and "Beware of evil in the modern world."

There is one State that knows these principles well...and have had to cling to them since the rebirth of their nation: Israel.

This tiny nation is surrounded by tens of thousands of hostiles on every side. Aside from the daily onslaught of terror attacks (which few are aware of because the Israelis are no whiners), Israel has contended with major Arab assaults in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1968, and 1973. And, by the way, those major conflicts had nothing to do with the 'Palestinians'.

They are surrounded by hate by Lebanon (now surrendered to Hezbollah [or Iran]) and Syria (puppet state of Iran) in the North. Jordan in the East (no friend of Israel). And Egypt on the southern border, now heavily-influenced by Hezbollah (which means Iran has its tentacles wrapped around it).

But wait...there's more...Iran, clinging to their nuclear program like white on rice, has made it unequivocal that Israel is the first target. And with all the enabler-states now surrounding the Jewish State...if allowed, they will finish Muhammad's and Hitler's job with the push of a button.

The majority of the American people are standing with Israel, and will continue to do so: No matter what. But, as far as the current US administration is concerned: They expect Israel to remain sitting ducks for the manifest promises of the maniacal Mullahs.

Sorry to disappoint, Barry, but Israel has the right to protect its citizens from Iranian weapons of mass destruction. And his support of their defensive mode should be a no-brainer...but that would require active gray matter.

Alas and alack...

And so it continues...and Jeshurun will thrive and survive, because they will remain war-ready!

Shalom through strength...

Albany Gets Something Right, So It's A Cold Day In Hell

November 4, 2011

Few good things have ever come out of the cesspool located at Empire State Plaza. Oh, the representatives look dapper, but what often goes on at that geographic location would raise eyebrows in the Court of Caligula.

Until today...

The GOP and the Dems have joined together in something other than the scandal-of-the-week...a noble effort that should be an example for every State in the Union (wow, as a NYer, it's almost surreal stating that).

State Senate leader Dean Skelos (R) will co-sponsor the Iran Divestment Act with Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D). The Bill is based on a federal law passed last year that empowers states/local governments to divest from companies that directly or indirectly support Iran's nuclear weapons endeavors.

What I want to know is: Who brought the smelling salts to Albany? Give that man a Klondike Bar!!

Skelos said that New Yorkers must condemn tyrannical governments, like Iran, that sponsor terrorism and have tried to develop nuclear weapons, and threaten Israel.

True, but our exprobation of a Terror State like Iran must be acute...because next to al Qaeda, Iran has killed more Americans than any other Islamic entity.

But I will give credit where credit is due. Skelos and Silver (eww, that name leaves a bad taste in my mouth) deserve kudos for this effort. It's sad that this should be among the paucity of magnanimous items that have ever emanated out of NY's capital.

I'm still waiting for the NY GOP (which is a mere shadow of what it was when my parents were alive and young) to have the testicular fortitude to condemn the behavior of the anarchists in Zuccotti Park. But I guess there is an excuse...

The effluvium emanating out of lower Manhattan surely has reminded them of the miasma they have either created and/or continue in the NY State capital.

It's a shame there is no such thing as a vertebral column transplant...I have a few candidates...

Denouncing The Defensible, Ignoring The Indefensible

November 1, 2011

It's become a habit. A BAD habit. A habit of the blind in the West. The conscious or unconscious Arab-tilt in their view of the Middle East...in particular...the Holy Land. And what they do is not only foolish and feckless...but for Israel: Pernicious.

Israel functions in an interminable defensive mode. She is surrounded by enemies on every border (and even more so, since the 'Arab Spring'). The targeted attacks that the IDF conducts are on terror cells. Period. They are performed in order to prevent future terror attacks on innocent Israeli civilians.

This is NOT the case with their enemies...

Israel's enemies intentionally target innocent Jewish civilians. They attack with intent to kill. Israel responds not in-kind, but rather seeks out the perpetrators and destroys their ability to kill again.

But is this the way the situation is reported in the West? Not so much...at all...

Since Israel pulled out of Gaza in order to allow the Palestinians a chance out of nation-building, innocent Israeli's have been targeted by Palestinian Islamic militant groups tens of thousands of times. These attacks have been perpetrated by ALL Palestinian armed groups, and, prior to the 2008–2009 Gaza War, were unswervingly supported by most Palestinians citizens.

You've heard about that from the media, right? Not likely...

BUT, what you HAVE heard is how the heartless IDF has pummeled and killed Palestinian civilians...lies, wrapped in falsehoods, wrapped in mendacities.

A 'gift' and talent you find in the digits of Islamists and liberal media outlets that report the news.

So, governments and world citizens believe the slant...and condemn the defensive acts of a nation (Israel) striving to exist, while simultaneously defending (by omission) the barbaric acts of a people--and their representatives (Hamas is a duly elected majority of the Palestinian government).

Convoluted, indeed...but insidious because it endangers Israelis and Jews globally, as a result.

People must decide what it is they want. Truth or the consequences of believing lies. Journalism was established in order to protect citizens by dispensing truth...facts-on-the-ground. They are not to become a Nanny feeding and guiding its audience. That is what is owed the consumer of their product. Anything else is a betrayal of their journalistic conscience...and, in the case of Israelis and Jews...a grave injustice.

Isn't it time for truth?

Shalom through strength...
