COMMONSENSE PANACEA

May 16, 2012

According to a recent study conducted by the Brookings Institute--individuals (regardless of skin hue) who graduate high school, get full time employment and do not have children out of wedlock, will succeed in today's free market society.

This study stands as a commonsense panacea against the Professors of Victimolgy who teach hate, envy and the "insidiousness of white culture."

Green Is The New Color Of Hate?

May 11, 2012

Note: I love the Irish. The accent, the music, St. Patty's Day in NYC...we'd even change our names by adding an O' or a Mc in front of our last name to celebrate. But especially the people...warm and lighthearted. The ability to laugh at what would give most people hypertension. I'm prefacing my piece with this statement so there's no confusion about my love for the Irish people.

Few are aware that between the years of 1937-1944, the Irish Republican Army was best-buds with Abwehr: The Nazi intelligence agency. But what many would find even more disturbing is that this anti-Semitic mindset is more prevalent today in the Emerald Isle.

Some disturbing facts by The Institute for Global Jewish Affairs, in a recent summary of Trade Union and Other Boycotts of Israel in Great Britain and Ireland:

In Ireland as in Britain, the most prominent supporters of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) are the academics and the trade union movement. The call for a boycott of Israel has been endorsed by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU); IMPACT, the largest public-sector union in the Republic of Ireland; and the Northern Ireland Public Service Alliance (NIPSA), the largest public-sector union in Northern Ireland. Israel is a soft target in Ireland as there is very little organized opposition to the boycott calls. (And, the PSC is a fave of the anti-Israel zealot George Galloway.)
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) actively works for a general boycott of Israeli goods as well as a cultural and sports boycott of Israel and has forged links with the far Left and the unions to publicize their cause. All the major UK trade unions are affiliated with the PSC and several of them actively promote PSC policies and literature.
In Irish politics sympathies are very much with the Palestinians. Yet Irish politicians are pragmatic. Many believe that Israel has much to offer their country in the economic field and thus think Ireland should not burn its bridges with it. Moreover, Irish politicians would not be willing to break ranks with the EU and adopt a tougher position on Israel than its European partners.

But much more disturbing info was discovered, thanks to MarkMurphys.com, which includes:

Ireland trained Egyptian Air Force pilots in 1978
The Irish-Palestinian Connection
Irish "peacekeeping" with the UN in Lebanon since the 1970s has unfortunately made many in the Irish military and government anti-Israel.

And the book "Ireland and the Palestine Question" (2005) by Rory Miller has a plethora of info, including:

Ireland strongly condemned the Israeli bombing of Iraq's nuclear weapons program in 1981.
Ireland strongly opposed the building of the life-saving Israeli wall in 2003.
FF governments were consistently pro-Palestinian throughout the 1980s (and since). FG was little better. Labour was even worse.
The Irish taxpayer has been forced to send money to the Palestinians through the UN since 1959, and directly since the 1980s (and still today). It seems that some of our money has been used to pay for hate-filled schoolbooks that promote jihad and Islamic terror.

Then it follows to be no surprise of the cancellation of the band Dervish to tour in Israel after their website was the vicious target of pernicious abuse by anti-Israeli activists, up on the instructions of the Irish Palestinian Solidarity Group. The 'tolerant' ones became fascist bullies to get their way (no different than we find in the US, by the left).

Kevin Myers of Ynetnews.com put it succinctly: "It is the liberal version of Sharia law." Spot on, Kevin.

This may shock many Irish citizens...but it is a reality and a tragic one, at that.

My friends in the 'Land of Saints and Scholars' need to address this hateful strain that seems to be lingering since before WWII. It's time to take a weed whacker to this Jew-hatred before the winds blow to a new growth and another generation.

I still love the Irish people...but I'm not lovin' the hate.

Muintir Iosrael beo...Am Israel Chai...The People of Israel Live!!

Shalom through strength...

Hollande: Israel's Blessing Or Bane?

May 8, 2012

Bastille Square in Paris was a victory celebration...Champaign corks popping, confetti swirling and Palestinian Authority and Syrian Flags waving? (Oh, this is never good...)

You read that right...PA and Syrian flags waving at a celebration for the Socialist Francois Hollande’s victory over French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

This ones a no-brainer...this is trouble for the Jewish State.

During Hollande's campaign, he stated he was opposed to "illegal" boycotts of Israeli products. BUT, he did NOT specifically if he considers goods made and exported from Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria (what the PA calls the West Bank) as fair targets for the boycott advance. Left-wing parties, whom Hollande will most likely woo for a coalition, are consistently behind boycott efforts.

The President of the Conseil Représentatif des Institutions Juives de France (CRIF), Richard Prasquier, said Hollande is unproven concerning Iran, and there are closer ties between the Socialist Party and the anti-Israel left than there are between Sarkozy’s party and the intolerant right represented by Marine Le Pen’s National Front.

As many in the US were concerned with the alliances between radical leftist and anti-Israel groups with Obama, there is similar anxiety over the people close to Hollande, who are adamantly anti-Israel.

The largest French community in Israel, Netanya, expressed displeasure over the Hollande victory. Lorence Partush, a Netanya resident said, "Hollande is not good for the Jews or for Israel." He believed that many Jews in France will now have an good reason to make Aliyah, because "he [Hollande] loves Muslims."

Time will tell whether Hollande will be a blessing or a bane for the Jewish State...but with some of the parties Hollande is likely to partner with clearly NOT being friends of Israel...the concerns about Hollande are warranted.

Bénédiction ou malédiction pour Israël? (Blessing or bane for Israel?) We shall see...

Obama's 'Elian Moment'

May 4, 2012

While Americans were nestled all snug in their beds, a blind Chinese pro-life dissident is waiting for a lifeline from the land of the free.

That's the story in a nutshell...now the details...

Chinese pro-life activist, Chen Guangcheng, was under house arrest since his Sept. 2010 release, following a 4-year prison term (for his human rights activism). Chen escaped from his home in Shandong province a week ago and sought protection from U.S. diplomats in Beijing.

Enter, (or rather swooping in on her besom) Hillary...at Barry's behest. To take Chen and his family to safety?

Not so fast...if you're starting to get a whiff of Elian Gonzalez, you've got the right aroma...

A flashback...Janet 'I don't suffer from Low T' Reno pulled up her britches and donned her flack jacket and stormed the home of Elian Gonzalez's relatives, took him at gunpoint, and placed him back in the iron fist of Fidel Castro...despite the fact that his mom lost her life getting him to freedom in the US. The communist triumph of Bill Clinton.

Well, Barry's 'Elian Moment' has arrived.

Following Hillary's arrival, Chen left the safety of the US Embassy in Beijing after Chinese officials threatened to beat his wife to death, according to a family friend. He was escorted to a Hospital to get treatment for an injury to his foot that he incurred during his escape from house arrest. One of his lawyers said that he's happy for Chen that he's now free.

Really? Well, according to reports, he wants out...

Hours after leaving his refuge in the US embassy, Chen now says he fears for his life and wants to leave China. In an interview with CNN, Chen beseeched US President Barack Obama to help him. "I would like to say to President Obama - please do everything you can to get our family out."

The activist said he was very disappointed in the US government. (Hey Chen...join the club.)

So, Mr. President...I have a new 'Julia' for you...his name is Chen. What will Chen's situation be under a President Obama. Will Chen be as fortunate as 'Julia' and make it to 42?

This IS your 'Elian Moment'...we're waiting and watching, sir.

Shalom through strength...

Lawfare: The Covert Conflict That Will Cause Our Collapse

May 2, 2012

"Legal action has become a mainstay of radical Islamist organizations seeking to intimidate and silence their critics."

~Steven Emerson, Counterterrorism Specialist

As average, law-abiding, tax-paying, patriotic Americans go about the daily slog...they trust, in this post 9-11 world, that the entities their government has dedicated to fight subversives...particularly Islamists...are doing their job. Covering every possible chink in our collective armor.

But tragically...the citizenry's rear flank is wide open...

There is a weapon, that in the past has not had a specific moniker...but as Sun Tzu says in the Art of War: Know your enemy.

According to Maj. Gen. Charles Dunlap (the former Deputy Judge Advocate General of the United States Air Force who is now at the Center on Law, Ethics and National Security at Duke Law School) in his work: Law and Military Interventions: Preserving Humanitarian Values in 21st Century Conflicts: Lawfare is "the use of Law as a weapon of War."

Now, thanks to The Lawfare Project...the enemy is defined and detailed. Modern-day Lawfare has five distinct goals:

1. To silence and punish free speech about issues of national security and public concern;
2. To delegitimize the sovereignty of democratic states;
3. To frustrate and hinder the ability of democracies to fight against and defeat terrorism;
4. To confuse laws of armed conflict with human rights law; and
5. To prevent the application of human rights law in situations where it is needed the most.

Hmm...does this have a whiff of something familiar? It should.

We are inundated, on almost a daily basis, by groups like CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), with faux charges of 'Islamophobia' and fabricated 'hate crimes' in a determined effort to cause trepidation in Americans. The kind of fear that would cause a citizen to willingly surrender their free speech rights to be spared endless litigation and even violence.

Some of the high-profile cases include (The Legal Project):

Khalid bin Mahfouz vs. Rachel Ehrenfeld: Ehrenfeld wrote that Bin Mahfouz had financial links to Al-Qaeda and Hamas. He sued her in January 2004 in a plaintiff-friendly British court. He won by default, and was awarded £30,000 and an apology.
Iqbal Unus vs. Rita Katz: His house searched in the course of a U.S. government operation, code-named Green Quest, Unus in March 2004 sued Katz, a non-governmental counterterrorist expert, on the grounds that she was responsible for the raid. Unus lost and had to pay Katz's court costs.
Council on American-Islamic Relations vs. Andrew Whitehead of Anti-CAIR. CAIR claimed in March 2004 that Whitehead's statements on his website were false, libelous, and "impute the commission of a criminal offense," all of which caused injury to CAIR's "standing and reputation." Two years later, CAIR withdrew the lawsuit.
Islamic Society of Boston vs. 17 critics, including the David Project and Steven Emerson. ISB initiated the lawsuit in May 2005, accusing them of defamation and of conspiring to violate the ISB's civil rights through "a concerted, well-coordinated effort to deprive the Plaintiffs … of their basic rights of free association and the free exercise of religion." Two years later, it withdrew the lawsuit.

The critical question here is: What are our governmental agencies, paid to protect our national security systems and our freedoms...doing to combat Lawfare?

Bupkis...nada...zilch...NOTHING!

Thanks to groups such as: The Lawfare Project - Dir. Brooke Goldstein, The Legal-Project - Sam Nunberg, and The Henry Jackson Society (UK) - Alan Mendoza...we're able to keep abreast of this covert conflict.

And perhaps...with our assistance...our leaders will finally have our backs.

Shalom through strength...

ABULIST IN CHIEF

Israel: 64 Years Of Blessing The World

April 27, 2012

“Some people like the Jews, and some do not. But no thoughtful man can deny the fact that they are, beyond any question, the most formidable and the most remarkable race which has appeared in the world.”
~Winston Churchill - Prime Minister of

Great Britain

“With Judaism, therefore, we have a relationship which we do not have with any other religion. You are our dearly beloved brothers, and in a certain way, it could be said that you are our elder brothers.”

~Pope John Paul II

There is no doubt, for those who choose to engage their gray matter, that the most amazing nation of people in the world is Israel. A tiny nation that has stood against its foes from day one of its rebirth, and yet...despite the hatred for its existence...has been determined to bless every people group on the globe.

In celebration of their 64th birthday, is the perfect opportunity to recognize just a few of Israel's contributions to the world:

Disk-on-key (scandisk)
Technology behind Windows NT and XP
Israel developed Intel's SandyBridge 8088 and Centrino processors.
MacBook Airflash memory chip
Cell phones
Technology inside the Kindle and technologies inside the Xbox & Playstation 3 are Israeli.
Online messaging (i.e. AOL)
Answers.com
Drip irrigation makes deserts bloom.
World's first electronic milk meter.
An aquaculture system that let's you raise Nemo on dry land.
Israel operates the world's largest desalination plants
Israel's Shai Agassi made electric cars a reality
PillCam - An ingestible capsule device equipped with a miniature video camera to visualize the small intestine (PillCam SB), and esophagus (PillCam ESO) for detection of damage or disease.
Robomow - robotic mower
Babylon Translation @ a click
Quicktionary - a portable electronic pen that can scan printed text and immediately translate it into verbatim into other languages.
Powermat - wireless charging

These, and hundreds of other inventions and discoveries, have never been associated with Israel. Sadly, major media outlets have daily disparaged Israelis, in the eyes of the world, as cruel 'occupiers', rather than what they clearly are: True aids to humanity.

The promise to Abraham, in Genesis 12:3, is still in effect...and one must merely open one's mind and heart to see its fulfillment.

Fear not, Yisrael...some of us have our loving eye on you.

Ahavat Eretz Yisrael...Am Israel Chay!*

Shalom through strength...

*Love the Land of Israel...Long Live Israel!

Egypt Ends Israel's Gas Supply: It's Political AND Religious

April 24, 2012

The 1979 Camp David Peace Accord, the treaty between Israel & Egypt stipulated that Cairo was obligated to provide Israel with as much oil as it could afford. The wording was later changed from oil to natural gas.

That agreement continued under Hosni Mubarak until his rule was toppled in a popular uprising last year. Israel has grown increasingly nervous about the state of relations with Egypt, especially since there have been 14 attacks on the pipeline since Mubarak left.

But, despite the many warnings concerning this administration's support of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and the Salafists (new majority of the Egyptian government), the Egyptian leadership has taken a critical blow against the long-time peace accord...

Egypt’s Natural Gas Holding Company announced the cessation of the contract with Israel, this weekend, citing violations of contractual obligations. It denied the act was political. The "violations" were bogus since the 14 attacks on the pipeline that stopped the delivery of the gas 14 times were the reasons Israel would not pay for the undelivered gas.

A bogus excuse that is actually a facade. The Islamist Egyptian government did not speak with veracity concerning their motivation. It was more than political in nature, it was also for religious reasons.

Aw now, am I just being Islamophobic (a faux term)? Nope...here's a little evidence...

In November of last year, Egypt's MB held a rally in Cairo's most eminent mosque. Was it one of those 'pro-democracy' rallies the US president kept lauding? Nope, it was a typical Friday service that turned into a noxious anti-Israel protest, with attendees vowing to "one day kill all Jews." Approximately 5,000 people participated in the rally, which called to encourage the "battle against Jerusalem's Judaization."

And there were all sorts of 'treats' at the event. The speakers delivered passionate, odious speeches against Israel, condemning the "Zionist occupiers" and the "treacherous Jews." As the worshippers of the 'religion of peace' filed out of the rally, they were given small flags, with Egypt's flag on one side and the Palestinian flag on the flipside. In addition to maps of Jerusalem's Old City specifying where "Zionists are aiming to change Jerusalem's Muslim character."

So, based upon this bissel (little) proof, it's logical to conclude that what's behind the violation of the peace treaty is clearly based upon Muhammed's ideology, which is both religious and political.

This is Egypt's first blatant violation of the 33 year old treaty...but they've only just begun.

Shalom through strength...

"Never Again" Is Not An Election Moment Motto

April 20, 2012

Ahh...you can smell it in the air. The whoppers wafting up from the paltering portals of politicos. It's an election season, of that you can be sure...

As the polls get closer, the lies getting bigger...if you're paying attention.

President Obama issued a statement in honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, stating that nations must stand up against anti-Semitism, and Holocaust deniers. He said, "On this day, and all days, we must do more than remember. We must resolve that 'never again' is more than an empty slogan. As individuals, we must guard against indifference in our hearts and recognize ourselves in our fellow human beings."

Well, well...sounds admirable...and I'd like to believe him. This was said on his visit to Buchenwald...one of the first and the largest of the concentration camps on German soil. Obama declared, "This place is the ultimate rebuke of those thoughts--a reminder of our duty to confront those who tell lies about our history."

OK...here's my question: In all his time in the White House, why has he NOT condemned Mahmoud Abbas for being a Holocaust denier? Abbas did his doctoral dissertation on Holocaust denial ( "The Other Side: the Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism")...and he never reneged one word,

Additionally, the Center for Near East Policy Research has found that the doctoral dissertation is the focus of the PA-controlled curriculum...infecting children with Shoah lies.

Oh, was that Mr. Obama? Nope, no condemnation.

Abbas has even visited the White House in 2010...any reprimand? Nah ah. Why not? Didn't the smartest man in the White House KNOW about the Abbas thesis? Um, that's a roger...

And yet...not a word of rebuke.

Was it, perhaps because the date didn't fall in proximity to a ballot box?

Oh, I don't know, but that sounds like "never again" just made it to the "empty slogan" level. And that makes his statement: Reprehensible in my book.

Laying your dictum on the graves of 6 million people is downright ghoulish. But hey...gotta get those votes and climbing over millions of dead Jews is just a means to an end in Barry's book.

Shalom through strength...

Lordy, Lordy: 1st Muslim Nobleman Issues $10M Bounty On O & W

April 17, 2012

Well, some of our cousins across the Pond were able to straighten up, from bending over backwards for the Muslim community...to finally do something right...

According to Pakistan’s Express Tribune, Lord Nazir Ahmed, a British Labour peer, announced a $10 million bounty on Presidents Obama & Bush, at a business reception in Haripur on April 15...after mentioning the US bounty on Hafiz Saeed. Saeed's the founder of the Islamic terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which had reported links with Osama bin Laden. He has also been blamed for organizing the 2008 attacks in Mumbai that killed 166 people, including 6 Americans.

Ahmed was appointed the Lord of Rotherdam for life in 1998 during Tony Blair's term and was functioning as a Labour Party representative for Britain's noble upper branch of Parliament, the House of Lords. But Ahmed's comments, which he denies, followed him all the way back to the UK. The Labour Party immediately told the BBC: "We have suspended Lord Ahmed pending investigation. If these comments are accurate we utterly condemn these remarks which are totally unacceptable."

Ace , Mates! But how long will that last? With the hypersensitivity toward Muslims in the UK, I'm guessing as long as the next news cycle. I believe the British government is contorted with fear of the Fatwa.

Ahmed has revealed, by his comments, his true loyalties. NOT to the British government, but to his brethren. Rather than condemn the terrorist actions of Saeed, he equates them with the legal defensive actions of a sovereign nation.

If the UK (British Gov't) was concerned with truth and facts on the ground...and they were able to crawl out of their hiding place...they would know that one dedicated to the Quran will never put a country above their devotion to Allah. They are commanded to put Islam first, and consequently, their brethren fighting the infidels, for the sake of Islam.

I hope the media keeps an eye on this...but my guess is they won't, and the UK's fear of the Fatwa will allow Ahmed to goosestep his way back into the House of Lords.

Shalom through strength...

Testosterone Twins Tell Iran: Don't Do That!

April 13, 2012

"The wisest thing in the world is to cry out before you are hurt. It is no good to cry out after you are hurt; especially after you are mortally hurt. People talk about the impatience of the populace; but sound historians know that most tyrannies have been possible because men moved too late. it is often essential to resist a tyranny before it exists."
― G.K. Chesterton, Eugenics and Other Evils: An Argument Against the Scientifically Organized State

This week, President Obama and French President Sarkozy called on Tehran to consider the upcoming nuke talks seriously, or be faced with reinforced sanctions. And Sec. State Clinton recognized signs Iran is ready to bring ideas to the negotiation table.

Now, I like fiction just like the average person. It's an enjoyable distraction from the mundane slog of the everyday. In a fictional world, within reason...anything goes. The author dictates the players behavior and the outcome. Even the nemesis must behave.

BUT, I don't want my country's foreign policy and national security run on a fictional basis. And that's what we are dealing with here...

There is not one iota of evidence that would give these testosterone twins (almost trio, but I'll give Hillary a pass) sufficient reason to continue to warn the maniacal mullahs and their marionette (Ahjad). Despite warnings and useless sanctions, they have continued their interminable demonic debouch toward a nuclear nightmare.

So why repeat a failure?

Einstein said: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." But in this case, I think a quote from Forrest Gump is more apropos...

"Stupid is as stupid does."

The only problem is...when Stupid does...everybody ELSE gets hurt.

Stones Were Wrong: If You're Israel, It's Not

April 10, 2012

"Time is on my side, yes, it is. Time is on my side, yes, it is."

--The Rolling Stones

It's that time again...time for the nimrods of the world...including the current administration...to give the maniacal Mullahs of Tehran: More Time.

Time to waste as they make haste to fulfill their machination: Regional and world dominance for Allah...and the destruction of the 'Little Satan' (Israel) and the 'Great Satan' (US).

And they can be assured of accomplishing their goal because of the plethora of 'Appeasinators' globally. And leading the pack of Dangerous Weenies is President Barry Obama.

Washington Post leaker, David Ignatius, said that Obama told his best bud, Turkey's Erdogan to tell his best bud Ayatollah Khamenei that O has no prob with Iran's nuclear program as long as they cross their heart NOT to continue their nuclear weapons program.

The Road Runner must be close because I just found the super-genius...

Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu said this past Sunday concerning the P5-1 talks with Iran scheduled for next week, "We have seen that Iran uses the talks in order to deceive and mislead."

Bibi gets it. We get it. But Barry is so overwhelmed by instructing the Supremes with all his Constitutional expertise...it's all good to him.

Time is a present for Ahjad and the Mullahs. And Barry and his ilk are more than happy to present it to them with a bow. But that bow will cost innocent lives...

So the Stones were wrong. If you're Israel or the US...it's not.

Obama: Chag Sameach! Really??

April 6, 2012

"Next year in Jerusalem"...for Jews globally is a comforting phrase. A phrase of hope. REAL hope. From the Giver of hope.

And a common greeting at Pesach and other holidays is 'Chag Sameach' literally means, 'Joyous Festival'.

That's how the president ended his video greeting to the Jewish people this year. Very nice. Very common. But very sincere?

Let's think about that...with some evidence:

Obama spent 20 years under the close tutelage of a man (Jeremiah Wright) who has spewed hatred toward Jews for years in his sermons and included on the "Pastor's Page" in 2007 of his church newsletter, this remark from a member of Hamas: "I must tell you that Israel was the closest ally to the white supremacists of South Africa. In fact, South Africa allowed Israel to test its nuclear weapons in the ocean off South Africa. The Israelis were given a blank check: they could test whenever they desired and did not even have to ask permission. Both worked on an ethnic bomb that kills Blacks and Arabs."
Wright helped lead the anti-Semitic Global March to Jerusalem...and Obama said nothing to dissuade him.
Obama has dissed the Israeli PM Binyamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu as no US President has ever dared to...and more than once.
Obama has blamed Israel for the terror committed against it, and made that accusation through Biden, Panetta & Hillary.
Last year Obama was attempting to 'fundamentally transform' the meaning of Passover by comparing the Muslim uprising to the Exodus. (Huh??)

This, of course, is a bissel (a little) amount of the evidence that speaks to the integrity of the president's message. Especially the line that he would "look forward to a good bowl of matzo ball soup."

I'd like to believe his words are sincere, but based on his vast anti-Jewish alliances...it's hard to swallow that Matzoh Ball.

Chag Pesach Sameach, mishpochah! (Happy Passover, family!)...and that's sincere.

Shalom through strength...

Like A Thief In The Night, Despite Barry's Betrayal

April 3, 2012

As time passes, the bomb ticks louder...Israel knows this well. The Mad Mullahs, and their puppet Ahjad, are on track and on target to create a nuclear nightmare that starts with Israel (the "Little Satan") and ends with us (the "Great Satan").

And to believe otherwise is to admit you're off your Thorazine.

The Obama administration has shown itself to be a disloyal and pernicious 'friend' to the Israeli people. Having given away key strategic info on Israel's plan of attack, in order to thwart their national security efforts.

Again I believe it's important to know some of the reasons WHY Israel MUST attack Iran's nuclear facilities:

Iran's uranium enrichment effort continues to advance, even after the Stuxnet computer attack and the assassination of several of its nuclear scientists.
Fordow mountain site is near Qom, and is a bunker that's too deep for Israeli bombs to pierce. When Iran tosses out the IAEA Inspectors (and they inevitably will), they will then be in a position to produce enough low-enriched uranium feedstock for several bombs. And according to the Bipartisan Policy Center, Iran will be in this position later this year.
The international monetary sanctions have NOT slowed the nuclear program, nor are they likely to have any effect on the timeline.

What we are talking about here is survival. National survival. Survival of a people and culture that have been persecuted globally for centuries. And even in light of the horror of the Shoah...their enemies are uniting and planning a genocide once again.

I believe Israel will and MUST make their way to Iran's nuclear facilities. In order to do enough damage to hinder their machinations. And hopefully, when the Iranian people again rise up against this Islamic regime, there will be a new face in the White House that will speak for the American people and support an overthrow of the Mullah's madness.

But until then...we will await the news of the IDF's journey to deter the Muslim demagogues of Tehran. We know their work will be 'like a thief in the night'...because that's the ONLY way to deceive deceivers.

Shalom through strength...

GMJ: Bullies Breach The Border While Barry Betrays

March 30, 2012

As you read this, thousands of Israel's enemies will be breaching Israel's borders. They've called their machination the Global March To Jerusalem (GMJ). And it's not a spiritual journey or a peaceful movement, but rather a violent advance that intends to "unravel the Zionist edifice," as one of the organizers puts it.

The supporters include Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and especially Iran. Participants are planning to arrive globally, from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and you got it, America. Their goal is to guarantee that 1 million people overwhelm the Israeli border security and march to Jerusalem, where they intend to declare Muslim rights to the Holy City. A spokesman for the march said this week the initiative "demands freedom for Palestine and its capital Jerusalem."

'Muslim rights'? "Its capital Jerusalem?" Really? According to what, exactly? Historically, archeologically and according to their own holy book, it says the opposite.

But since they are not concerned with facts on the ground or TRUTH, in any way shape or form...they will bully their way across the Israeli border and breach their sovereignty.

But what of the man who said, "I try not to pat myself too much on the back, but this administration has done more for the security of the state of Israel than any previous administration?" Haughty words for the "first Jewish President" as New York Magazine dubs Obama. (Hmm...let me see, Clinton was the "First Black President" and Obama is the "First Jewish President"...oh, I see...you are what you're not...Okee Dokee.)

Let me say that this statement is beyond false. And if we look at the current situation...why is the president silent? His best bud for over 20 years, Rev. Wright is on the BOARD of GMJ...and wholeheartedly endorses this march to end Israel's 'occupation'. Has Barry lost his influence with Jeremiah...or is he in total agreement with this hateful procession? He had a good deal of time to warn Israel's neighbors AND other nations NOT to breach Israel's borders, but did he?

Cricket chirps...

Is that another one of the things he did for Israel's security?

If these are the actions of a 'friend'...then I guess the word means nothing now. Or, just like the 'first Black Prez' and the 'first Jewish Prez': You are what you're not.

A teachable moment for Barry: A friend is not one who kicks the chair out from under you when there's a noose around your neck.

Shalom through strength...

Whisperer-In-Chief: Puffing Promises To Putin

March 27, 2012

In case you missed it...despite the fact that the world mic got it...President Obama, um...well...sorta, kinda...slipped a message to Rootin Tootin Putin through his lap dog Medvedev. You probably missed it, since the major media was distracted by the thrill racing up and down their collective leg...so here is the conversation picked up by the hot mic:

Obama: "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for him to give me space.”

Medvedev: "Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you…"

Obama: "This is my last election...After my election, I have more flexibility."

Medvedev: "I understand. I transmit this information to Vladimir."

The Prez-Whisperer says: This is about missile defense.

Oh that rascal Barry...what is he cooking up? A lack of missile defense in return for a reduction of the Russian nuclear arsenal? My, My...Barry's mind, what a fakakta fog to cut through...

But, with all sobriety...this is really not a laughing matter. He has proven myriad times, he has little to no regard for the US Constitution (though a self-proclaimed 'expert'). Additionally, he's attempted to blame the Founders for his inability to 'force' Congress to do what he wants (I never thanked God more for the Founders).

Is it, or should it be, a source of concern? Oh, I don't know...if you look at the state of our economy, the constant double-talk on our support for Israel, Afghanistan, Iraq, helping Iran stay on their nuclear nightmare timetable, the consistent dissing of our allies globally...what do YOU think?

Mr. Transparency has gone from translucency to haziness to obfuscation.

But only to those he promised transparency.

We won't get an answer, but I believe we deserve an explanation as to exactly what he meant in his sotto voce message to Vlady...since Russia is no ally.

Any HOPE in waiting for that?

Toulouse Terrorist: Following The Paradigm Of The Prophet

March 23, 2012

So, the monster Mohammed Merah, the cold-blooded murderer of an unarmed Rabbi and 3 little children, is dead. But not without bringing nightmares to life for innocent Jews.

Soon after the fiend committed the carnage, the French newspaper Le Point published a psychiatric report on his psyche. What was emphasized was his troubled life...one that could be repeated millions of times throughout the globe. Son of divorced parents, vacillated in deciding upon a vocation...blah, blah blah...

Attempting to humanize this barbarian...a typical Liberal technique...make the miscreant the victim...they have poured acid into the wounds of the families.

While the global media is busy doing damage control for this ideology...more facts have emerged. Merah became radicalized amid a small Salafist group in Toulouse and had connections to a group called Forsane Alizza, which has been outlawed in France because it was a terrorist organization training members "for armed combat." (By the way...Salafists are part of the new Egyptian government and concur with their brethren, the Muslim Brotherhood, to establish Sharia Law).

So the question emerges: Was Merah meshugass or a true Mohammedan?

If you decide he's crazy, then what of a man who has committed the following:

Had sex with a 9-year- old girl.
Carried out 72 military campaigns to violently propagate Islam upon innocent civilians.
Eradicated all the Jewish tribes of Medina using the methodology of beheading.

He was crazy? He had a troubled youth? He couldn't pick a career goal? Nope...you'd say he's a fiend...a monster...a barbarian.

And you'd be correct. And you'd ALSO be talking about the one Merah was following: Muhammed, the founder of Islam.

I say Merah is the example of what happens when one is weaned upon the loathsome filth of an ideology crafted by the digits of a degenerate. A pedophile who raped little girls, tortured and slaughtered those who would not bow at his hoofs...and had a visceral contempt for Jews that is gleefully practiced throughout the Ummah (worldwide Muslim community) to this day.

There tragically will be more Merahs out there...as long as free nations will allow unmonitored fundamentalists...who couch themselves as victims...to follow the paradigm of The Prophet.

Shalom through strength...

Jerusalem Undivided: The Legal & Historical Argument (With A Bissel Evidence)

March 20, 2012

"Jerusalem symbolizes the reason and purpose for our lives here. It is the 'why' and 'wherefore' explaining why we are fighting. We will continue to do whatever we can to ensure that Jerusalem will forever remain the capital of Israel. And as the Prophet Isaiah said 2,700 years ago: 'On your ramparts, O Jerusalem, I have placed guards all day and all night.'" --Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, IDF Chief of Staff, Arutz Sheva, 11/8/07

And the argument continues...should Jerusalem, the Holy City, be divided. But the only entities insisting upon it's division are either ignorant of its history...or those privy to that knowledge and prefer paltering over proof.

There is a plethora of evidence to prove that Jerusalem belongs to Israel and should remain in their hands, including: Legally, Demographically, Geopolitically, Historically, Religiously, Morally and for reasons of National Security.

Just a bit of the evidence:

Based upon international law, the Jewish people never renounced their historic connection to their ancestral homeland... they did not voluntarily abandon their land or forget their rights. In the Blackstone Memorial, which was signed by Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Melville Fuller, university presidents, and members of Congress before it was submitted to President Benjamin Harrison in 1891, Palestine is characterized as "an inalienable possession" of the Jewish people "from which they were expelled by force."
Jerusalem was the focal point for the historical connection of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel...expressed throughout centuries of lamentation for Jerusalem's destruction and their constant prayer for its restoration.
Israel had acted in the lawful exercise of its right of self-defense in the Six-Day War. Those familiar with the events that led to its outbreak recall that Egypt was the party responsible for the start of hostilities, through a series of steps that included closing the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping and the broadcast of a blockade on Eilat, an act that FM Abba Eban would characterize as the firing of the first shot of the war. Along Israel’s eastern front, Jordan’s artillery had opened fire, pounding civilian neighborhoods in Jerusalem, despite repeated warnings issued by Israel. (Territory captured by Israel was a result of the legal booty of war...as the defender.)
Jordan's failed attempt to claim sovereignty over Israeli land it stole in an illegal invasion in 1948 and lost to Israel in another illegal aggression against the Jewish State in '67 (Judea & Samaria, & Jerusalem). Even the British would not recognize the Jordanian claim of Jerusalem. Author Stephen M. Schwebel in his piece "What Weight to Conquest?" in the American Journal of International Law (1970):344-347 specifically stated that Israel had better legal title to "the whole of Jerusalem" than any of the Arab States.
Jerusalem has served in the past and present as capital of the Jewish State as early as 2,880 years ago, but it was never the capital of any other nation.
Islam has NO claim on Jerusalem...it came into existence 600 years AFTER Christianity...and the Quran NEVER mentions Jerusalem.
The Ottoman Empire had control (seized by Muslims) for over 400 years and yet it was never made the capital of the Empire...but rather they ignored it. Mark Twain visited Jerusalem during the 1800s (during the Ottoman Empire) and said it was desolate and in great disrepair.

This is only a bissel (a little bit) of the mountain of evidence that exists.

But aside from the historical and legal grounds...one of the most critical reasons Jerusalem must remain under Israeli control is the assurance of religious freedom and access to Holy Sites to all religions.

Christians are well aware of this and agree with Israeli control remaining. The only entity that refuses to concur are the Muslims...who have already demonstrated intolerance, built on a foundation of lies and disdain...clearly demonstrated by past Jordanian control of Jerusalem and Palestinian Authority control of Joseph’s Tomb in Shechem (Nablus) and their desecration of Jewish Holy Sites.

Israel has waited an eternity for what is theirs. It's time for those who prefer integrity to mendacity, to take a bold stand.

Jerusalem must remain united and undivided. That is, of course, if everyone desires to be free to enjoy it.

Shalom through strength...

Mollification: Foreign Policy Of The Super-Genius

March 13, 2012

One of the few cartoons my parents allowed us to view when we were kids were Bugs Bunny and his crew. That gang included the Roadrunner...and his arch enemy Wile E. Coyote. The Roadrunner cartoon was a great lesson in what happens when one gloats in his arrogance...

It blows up in your super-genius face...POOF!

Such is the case of the the current crop of nimrods and the head super-genius: President Barack Obama.

Having no military background (by choice) and no military acumen (yet he still desired to be head of the military, still puzzled by that one)...his entire strategy for foreign affairs can be summed up in one term: Mollification (aka appeasement).

There are many brilliant military strategists in our nation (who apparently have not been consulted by Obama), who would unanimously agree that the worst possible approach to a hostile nation would be appeasement. The empirical evidence proves that it never has nor ever will work for the cause of peace OR freedom.

Yet, the smartest person in the White House (can't determine which one he is since not everyone has released their school records) continues to march to the same weenie rhythm...and we are more vulnerable than ever before.

The president has been very accommodating to what we have already deemed a terrorist State (Iran), by giving them all the time they need to develop nuclear weapons. This is perilous to our only friend in the region, Israel...and we shouldn't be kicking our feet in a hammock at the thought either.

But President Barry's brilliance doesn't end there...

He has sent U.S. Ambassador Alan Solomont to a Muslims assembled at a Townhall-like meeting in the 'Gothic Quarter' (center of Barcelona's old city) that the US is not an "enemy of Islam" and that President Barack Obama wants to improve America's image in the Middle East as soon as possible by closing the "dark chapters" of the US. incursion into Iraq and the Afghanistan War.

With all due respect: WTFreak!!

This ideology declares war on us, kills our citizens on our own soil...and we are apologizing for defending ourselves?

I've always had little respect for weenies...especially weenies who play with others' lives. Mollification is a pernicious policy that will bring untold horror to myriad innocents.

This corrupt course of action of making kissy-face with those who hate us is inefficacious and will blow up in somebody's face.

But sadly, it won't be in President Wile E's visage...it will be in our own...if we allow him.

Shalom through strength...

Bibi: A Voice Of Reason Amidst The Foolish

March 7, 2012

As the former Persian Empire gets closer and closer to possessing the means to carry out their desire to wipe Israel off the map, there are two clear and opposite voices coming to the forefront: One of reason and one of foolishness.

What do you say to those who, despite no empirical evidence to prove their position...continue to insist THIS time they're correct?

Well, Thomas Paine once said:

"To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead."

Brilliant and cogent at such a time as this.

In the Oval Office meeting this week between Israeli PM Benjamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu and President Obama, tensions were soaring. Obama still banging the gong of the procrastinator (he leads from behind) insisting that diplomacy...despite the lack of evidence, will work. And Bibi, whose concern is for the very survival of his people, again attempted to offer reason into the discussion...to no avail.

Bibi, of course, reserving the right as a sovereign nation...to act in its best interest, to Obama's dismay.

And again, during his speech at AIPAC...Bibi attempted to inject reason into the thoughts of those who oppose the Jewish State having sovereignty to act on its own behalf...

"The Jewish state will not allow those seeking our destruction to possess the means to achieve that goal. A nuclear armed Iran must be stopped. Amazingly, some people refuse to acknowledge that Iran’s goal is to develop nuclear weapons. You see, Iran claims that it’s enriching uranium to develop medical research. Yeah, right. A country that builds underground nuclear facilities, develops intercontinental ballistic missiles, manufactures thousands of centrifuges, and absorbs crippling sanctions – is doing all that in order to advance…medical research. So you see, when that Iranian ICBM is flying through the air to a location near you, you’ve got nothing to worry about. It’s only carrying medical isotopes."

Humorous? Yes. Serious? Even more so. Will Israel have to act on its own? Well, if it were up to the majority of the American people, the answer is unequivocally, NO. But will this administration be the first to abandon our friends at such a dire time in history?

The clock is ticking. We will soon see who cares about freedom, survival, loyalty and steadfastness.

And who cares about the ballot box...

"Streamlining": The Foul Of The Downsizing-Doves

March 2, 2012

Streamlining. A profitable term, often used to describe what a company is doing to strategize for better, more lucrative times. It's a good term for the free market...for investors...for consumers.

But NOT for national security...

We have never been, as a nation, in a more vulnerable and perilous position in history. Due to irrational fears, we have left ourselves open to attacks from enemies who have used our system of freedom against us. And again, out of fear, we subject our citizenry to foolish protocols so the 'world' will think 'well' of us. Remaining vulnerable.

This has made the need for a stronger military necessary to protect the homeland and our interests and citizens overseas.

Recently, the Obama administration unveiled it's new Military Strategy: He's putting the Military on NutriSystem...aka "Streamlining" it (I'll bet that was Michelle's idea).

That 'super genius' of an idea has been done before...with, um...not very good results. Here's a quick history lesson:

President Carter downsized the military - the result: Russian Invasion of Afghanistan, Iranian Hostage Crisis.
President Reagan increased the ranks and instilled a pride in our Armed Forces again, which enabled us to deliver a reverberating defeat of the Iraqis during the First Gulf War (not possible under Carter's levels of defense).
President Clinton again downsized our forces, which again gave an equivocal message that we were a paper tiger, can anyone say: Mogadishu, 1st WTC Bombing, Khobar Towers Bombing - Saudi Arabia, U.S. Embassy bombings - Kenya/Tanzania & USS Cole Bombing - Yemen.
President Bush, thankfully, built the Military back up so we could fight the War on Terror.
Now President Obama is "streamlining" and downgrading our military again. (Oy vey)

I'm thinking, with the empirical evidence, that if patterns follow...there will be no need for party hats, but rather body bags...

The world whines and cries about us, but when the bully down the block is harassing them, who do they call? Well it ain't Ghost Busters...it's the US MILITARY!

SO WHAT, if we have turned our forces into a skeleton crew, to save money...that should have been saved on the billions wasted on subventions for those who are bilking the system. Does it really matter?

Well, when the newest protected 'minority' gets off their prayer rugs and begins a jihad far more horrific than was experienced on 9-11...the first ones to cry, will be...

The Downsizing-Doves.

An Act Of Valor Would Help Our Foreign Policy

February 29, 2012

The just released film, Act Of Valor, is a tribute to our troops. It is indeed the most positive flick out of Hollywood, about our military since the Green Berets. Something Hollywood and the media did as a matter of fact, years ago. A film that lauded the troops magnanimous deeds, rather than the rare failures in the ranks. It's something the media always did...

And so did our government...but no more...

When I say 'our government', I'm speaking about the current one. Any time the Commander-in-Chief addresses issues concerning the troops to the media (and the world), there's no praise for their daily good works. No reports to the people they serve of the moral courage of these brave warriors. No encouragement, or pat on the back...or a HOOYAH!

Nope...just apologies to our enemies, who view us as weak every time we cower to lick their boots. Never a proclamation, following an incident, that our Military is the most ethical on the earth. Not as Israeli leaders do every time they hit the mic. No...just a file in the minds of the listeners that bad acts are associated with being a member of the US Military.

There are far too many alive today that have no one in the military, nor know someone in the armed forces, nor know anyone that has a family member serving. They are not taught about our armed forces in school (and the way Recruiters are banned/blocked from school campuses, I'm sure students don't get the impression its an honorable profession)...so the only info they have on the US Military is what they see in the media/arts...

And what they hear out of the mouths of our leaders.

So what does that have to do with our Foreign Policy?

Tons...

We are dealing with enemy countries (specifically Muslim) who do not see things through Western eyes, nor think with a Western mindset. They see negotiation and compromise as a sign of weakness to be conquered. And when we do not laud our warriors as upright and honorable...or as strong and courageous (they respect military strength). They own propaganda machines that have their target set on The West. So, it's to our disadvantage and ultimate demise.

Our troops should be spoken of not by their few flaws, but rather by their finest deeds. Doing this accomplishes much for our nation:

It boosts troop morale.
Gives a true and positive representation of our heroes.
Let's our enemies know we are strong. .
Assures our friends and allies that we can be trusted.

THAT would be an act of valor worthy of our champions.

And for men who give up so much to ensure we are free to pursue happiness...shouldn't this be the minimum they can expect from those they protect?

Shouldn't the HEAD of the military concur and comply?

Well, I think so...

Shalom through strength...

More Frightful Than Der Fuehrer? You Bet...

February 23, 2012

There is no doubt that one of recent history's most egregious monsters was Adolf Hitler. The founder and leader of the Nazi Party slaughtered approximately 11 million people (6 million being Jews), and his genocidal hatred was lived out in the cruelest ways possible.

During his despotic reign, he collaborated with Muslims leaders, specifically the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (Haj Amin al-Husseini). He was fascinated by Islam expressly because of their mutual goal: The elimination of the Jewish people. But with all his barbaric machinations having almost been accomplished, there is a monster out there today, far more dangerous than Hitler ever was...

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or Ahjad, fueled by his religious fervor to obliterate Israel (and all Jews, for that matter) and the "Great Satan" or the US...is pounding his chest with a war cry that we cannot afford to pooh-pooh as the clamor of a lunatic. Why? Because he is on the precipice of possessing a nuclear weapon...and we have placed ourselves in a wholly vulnerable position by kowtowing to world opinion.

Our government's fearful preoccupation with being identified as a 'bully' to the world has prevented the War in Iraq and Afghanistan from being fought with 'shock and awe' (the only warfare respected by the Arab world). And has resulted in our country displaying a facade of weakness in the War on Terror. This fecklessness has emboldened perilous despots like Ahjad, and may very well be to our own demise...and that of our steadfast friend Israel.

We can only pray that at this moment, the US and Israel are involved in furtive strategies to destroy, or do serious damage to, Iranian nuclear facilities. And if the current administration is unable to locate the testicular fortitude to do what is necessary, then they need to get the flippity-do-da out of the way so the Jewish State can protect itself and its citizens.

Energized by the teachings of Islam, Iran's leadership has become the nightmare's nightmare...and that means: More frightful than Der Fuehrer.

Tehran has no intentions of ceasing their nuclear nightmare for the infidels...it's what they live for. So, slapping their wrists and waiting them out will only gain them the time they need to put the finishing touches on their arsenal of abomination.

But try telling that to the Pollyannas at the UN or the current administration...who swear by the same 'successful' policy that worked with North Korea's nuclear program.

Obama has been feverishly sending his envoys over to the Jewish State, all but demanding they NOT to do what is necessary for the free world's survival. Imagine that...the Follower-in-Chief, or the man who leads from behind, is instructing a war hero (Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu) on survival strategy...

Everything that Barry and his ilk choose to use, including these sanctions, in delaying Israel's necessary action against Tehran's tyrannical regime...is turned into time utilized for creating an enormous nuclear nightmare that will first hit Israel, 'the Little Satan'...and then 'the Great Satan'...that would be us.

And, since Barry has no intention of dealing with this rogue regime...we need to get out of Israel's way and allow them to do what this White House would never have the testicular fortitude to do: Protect the world from glowing into oblivion...

Because with Ahjad and the Mad Mullahs...more time for THEM, is less time for US.

Shalom through strength...

Understanding The Middle East Mindset, Part 2

February 17, 2012

"Terrorists know more about America, than America knows about them. These [Terrorists] are people who have lived in America, they have studied America, they know how the media works, they know how the psyche works....they know how we function, so they are more efficient in fighting. We don't know them and that's a very big problem. Ignorance is very dangerous now."

--Marianne Pearl, widow of Daniel Pearl (Journalist beheaded by terrorists)

They know us better than we know ourselves. That's a dangerous place to be if the 'they' are our enemies. And in the case of our current and most accessible enemy, Jihadists...they are.

Since well before the Muslim terror attacks of 9-11, Islamists have been studying us. Our ways, our thoughts, our ideology...and most of all: Our vulnerabilities.

And those vulnerabilities can easily be exploited if we continue to view their words and deeds through Western values.

Integrity:

We value truthfulness in our agreements with other nations and peoples. But entering into a treaty with those of the Islamic ideology would be a dangerous endeavor for anyone in the West. This due to the fact that integrity is not a shared value with Islamists. They are permitted, and do, lie to infidels in the West for the sake of Islam and Allah. If we were to look at the Israel-Palestinian conflict, we would see proof that the Muslim side, the Palestinian Authority (PA), have not honored one agreement they have made with the 'West in the Middle East' or Israel.

Family Values:

There is a growing population of Islamists who believe it is an honor to send their sons to die for Allah...as they kill infidels. A study done at Monash University in Australia found the pattern is in keeping with studies of Fatah, Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Turkish terrorists, which revealed that about one in five involved individuals were direct kin, while seven in 10 were close friends as youths.

The mother of a suicide bomber said in an interview: "I am a compassionate mother to my children,… Because I love my son, I encouraged him to die a martyr’s death for the sake of Allah... Jihad is a religious obligation incumbent upon us, and we must carry it out. I sacrificed Muhammad as part of my obligation. This is an easy thing."

A bizarre and disturbing statement that displays the antithesis of Western thought.

How many think this way:

Various stats have affirmed that only 7-10% of the Muslim world is radical. But with an estimated 1.3 billion following Allah...that would give us about 100-150 million radicals...and growing. The 90-93% that will not behead us, support their brethren in silence. What exacerbates the situation is the high illiteracy rate, coupled with a draconian government with its tentacles enveloping every aspect of the culture with an iron umbilical cord, from the Quran, wrapped around the throat of every citizen: Muslim or Dhimmi (infidel living under Islamic rule).

It is fair to say, that aside from Israel, a general anti-West mindset is endemic to the Middle East (as well as other Islamic nations). And when the West finally assimilates this, we will be on the road to victory over tyranny...for as Thomas Jefferson once said:

"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."

Understanding The Middle East Mindset, Part 1

February 15, 2012

"We are raising in a generation of young Americans who are by and large historically illiterate...it's a very sad situation." --author David McCullough

It's true that education is not a panacea, as we were able to see with WWII Germany having the highest educated populace in the world at that time, but in a world replete with venal influences...ignorance of those entities is a perilous place to be.

As America has encountered difficult times in her past and has been struck by outside enemies before 9-11, no attack has revealed the dangerous state of ignorance that now renders us vulnerable beyond being borderless, than Sept. 11th.

Sun Tzu, the great Chinese military strategist once said, "If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself."

Our country has reached this point. We have a population that does not know its history, and is woefully ignorant to the mindset of our ardent enemies.

This spells disaster any way you look at it.

Knowing the Middle East mindset will en able us to comprehend our foes and to know what to expect from our adversaries in Muslim regimes (and their ilk).

They do NOT think as we do. They are weaned on a festering fare...and the result of that nutrition is NOT benign.

Individual Choice:

Islam is not simply a religion. It cannot be practiced separate from the culture. It IS the culture, and its iron fist dictates every move a Muslim makes. From what they eat, with what hand they eat...to what hand they use in their lavatory hygiene. There is no individual choice.

But Islam micro-manages much more than that...

Free Will:

It does NOT allow its followers to think for themselves, but dictates every aspect of life...from the demeaning of women and children, treating them as chattel, to the hatred of infidels (unbelievers) simply because they do not believe. Congenial relationships with infidels is forbidden. Freedom for women is unthinkable.

Compromise:

None, if it involves dealing with infidels. If they agree to compromise, they are practicing Taqiyya (deception). And if the infidel compromises...it is viewed as weakness to be conquered.

And we're just scratching the surface. Their mindset is based upon the Quran and the Hadith (the traditions of the prophet)...and EVERYONE must submit to these books.

By the way, Islam means submission.

To be continued...

Shalom through strength...

The Prepped Do The Propping

February 10, 2012

In order for deception to be easily assimilated by a population, there must be a foundation of propaganda, which is defined as organized dissemination of information, allegations, etc, to assist or damage the cause of a government, movement, a people group, etc.

Every population, that has ushered in a tyrant before they were overtaken, had their hearts and minds prepared to welcome the unwelcome.

The prepped did the propping, of dictators and martinets.

The German people were prepped for Hitler's entrance, with hearts already grounded in hate for the Jews. True they still had volition, but the constant, yet subtle, passing comment in the marketplace, at the newsstand, at the dinner table...always seemed to blame the Jews for something, unjustly. And every time they allowed the accusation to pass uncontested...each stone was laid for a seared and fiendish foundation.

This tragic preparation is still effective and at work today. Anti-Semitism was a virulent disease, left untreated in Europe, for decades. And with the rise of anti-Semitism being reported more recently, it's no wonder that the ghouls of Gaza are able to beguile millions with ease.

Case in point...recently, a photo allegedly showing an Israeli soldier standing on the chest of a small 'Palestinian' girl while pointing his automatic rifle at her face, went viral on social networks like Facebook. Hundreds of thousands of web-surfers saw the picture and with disgust, vocally lashed out at Israel over what they dubbed as 'inhumane treatment of even the most innocent of 'Palestinian' Arabs'.

There was only one problem: The pic was a FAKE.

The 'soldier' in the photo was not Israeli (he was wearing boots and a coat that are not donned by IDF soldiers), and he was holding a Kalashnikov rifle of the type used by Arab armies, NOT an M16 or M4 rifle, which are used by IDF soldiers.

When the truth came out, few cared. Why? Because the viewers already believed evil of the Israelis and this was just more evidence to confirm their deeply-held hate for the Jew.

Another victory for the vile...and another step toward another Shoah?

Chas v'shalom! (God forbid!)

To The Bear: When The Eagle Is Angry, He's Right

February 8, 2012

"Those who get angry are hardly ever right."

--Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov

in response to US pulling Ambassador to Syria

Since the Cold War, the Russian Bear has been growling at the Eagle and his allies because it desires to be the big kahuna...not only in the region, but globally. So their recent veto at the UN Security Council concerning sanctions upon Syria, is no surprise...

It's just the case of a mama bear protecting its cubs...and in this case, the cubs are Russia's financial investments...and their ideology.

Russia has longtime commercial, military, and political ties with Syria. Russian investments in Syria in 2009 were valued at $20 billion, primarily in arms deals, energy, infrastructure expansion, and tourism. And in 2010, their exports to Syria totaled $1.1 billion.

“Russia is now a business-oriented country, and the Russian government obviously wants to protect the investments made by its businessmen in Syria...But, the main reason in being so stubborn [blocking UN action against Syria] is because Moscow perceives that the Western bloc is wrecking stability in the Middle East in pursuit of wrong-headed idealistic goals...Western idealism has contributed to chaos in the Middle East, and for once Russian foreign policy is right not to want any part of it,” says ” Yevgeny Satanovsky, president of the independent Institute of Middle Eastern Studies in Moscow.

I have bad news for the 'we are the world' fanatics out there: Worldviews are different and when reality runs into the road...it's not a smooth landing.

When the 'brilliance' of communism collapsed in 1991, it never ended Russia's desire to be a world hegemony. And their economic feasibility trumps truth, justice...and anything right that gets in their way.

The Kremlin considers the US and the West to be "hysterical" in their opposition and interference in Syria because it interferes with Russia's wallet...and their doomed worldview.

They are not, nor ever have been, concerned with liberty, democracy or the 'foolish' ideals of a free people...but rather only with what fits in their iron fist.

Shalom through strength...

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...

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...

'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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Shalom through strength...

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.

Shalom through strength...

The Gospel Trail: Only Israel Would Be So Gracious

December 8, 2011

They know who their friends really are...and they don't forget it.

Evangelical Christian support for the State of Israel is the largest non-Jewish entity in the world. Almost 2 million of the 3 million tourists that visit Israel every year, are Christian.

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...

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.

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...

"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.

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)!!

What Would They Call Her?

November 10, 2011

What would the professional race-hustlers (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus) call Sharon Bialek if she were levying similar charges against a black man with a D after his name?

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...
