The notion of Barack Obama becoming President is so preposterous, it cannot be parodied. This al-Jazeera report about Palestinians in Gaza — the folks who elected the terror group Hamas to run the government — appears to be completely on the level. The same folks who passed out candy in celebration on 9/11 are running phone banks in support of their hero Obama.

From the blog Planck’s Constant

The phrase “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter” is often used by lazy minds to make moral equivalencies where none exist. You might as well say, “One man’s beef is another man’s chicken.” This last would only be true if you had lousy taste buds or a sloppy dictionary.
When the historical expert Mos Def was last on the Bill Maher show he said, “You know, when the Revolutionary War was going on, George Washington and all them dudes was terrorists…“.

Of course, Mos Def confuses treason with terrorism. As far as the King was concerned, George Washington and his fellow separatists were traitors, not terrorists since the Continental army never attacked civilians, as far as I know, to achieve their political ends.

And since Mos Def gets his info from the local barbershop…

(oh God I almost choked I laughed so hard)

… it is unlikely he ever read the pamphlets of Thomas Paine or he would have read the arguments for separation from England were based on reason and the rights of man and not on violence against innocent women and children. Conflating Islamic terrorists with George Washington as if they operated in the same manner only shows Mos Def’s ignorance of this country’s history and lack of appreciation for the deadly threat posed by Islamic terrorists.

More racist crap…. Doesn’t this guy look so proud, in his mask?

It seems almost unthinkable in the homeland created by the Jews after the terrors of fascism.But Israel has a cell of neo-Nazis, accused of a string of attacks on foreign workers, orthodox Jews, drug addicts and gays.

The immigrants from the former Soviet Union are all Israeli citizens and have been arrested in connection with 15 assaults.

News of the arrests has shocked Israel, which was founded nearly 60 years ago in the wake of the Holocaust.

The discovery of anti-Semitism within its own borders has dominated Israeli newspapers and TV and radio news shows.

All of the suspects are in their late teens or early 20s, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

Eight have been arrested and yesterday a court ruled that they should remain in custody.

Another has fled the country.

The gang documented its activities on film and in photographs, and Israeli TV stations showed grainy footage of victims lying helpless on the floor while several men kicked them.

Police found knives, spiked balls, explosives and other weapons in the suspects’ possession, Mr Rosenfeld said.

Israeli forces raid jeep of longtime wanted militant caught in compromising position

RAMALLAH – Israel today arrested a longtime wanted terror leader here in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

According to Israeli security officials and Palestinian sources in Ramallah speaking to WND, the terrorist was arrested while having car sex just a few hundred feet from late PLO leader Yasser Arafat’s gravesite.

Khaled Shawish, an officer in Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ Force 17 presidential guards, was captured by undercover Israeli police forces following scores of shooting attacks he is suspected of carrying out. Shawish, who doubles as the Ramallah chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, previously boasted of involvement in a West Bank shooting attack in December 2000 that killed Israeli ultranationalist leader Benjamin Kahane and Kahane’s wife, Talya.

Here are some people who, in the words of one commenter at YouTube, really suck; Boston College students staging an incredibly obnoxious, violently bigoted episode of “street theater” outside the Israeli consulate in Boston, to try to cash in once again on the reputation of terror supporter and International Solidarity Movement member Rachel Corrie.

If you want to know any more about this disgraceful event, the creeps have posted a long screed at the YouTube page where they uploaded it, apparently with pride.

I found this on Hot Air, you know sometimes I get caught up and post funny pictures of these terrorist idiots, but when you see what these bastards do to children it makes you sick.

All of those idiots who will be going to Washington DC this weekend, protesting the war should watch these clips, but the bad thing is they support and condone turing little kids into ticking time bombs.

Important Action Alerts are usually the province of the leftosphere but it’d good to get the word out about this one. Longtime MEMRI fans will recognize this sort of thing instantly, but most people aren’t longtime MEMRI fans, and nothing concentrates the mind about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict like seeing four-year-olds brainwashed into becoming the Arab equivalent of the Hitler Youth before one’s very eyes.

When Jordan’s King Abdullah addressed a joint session of Congress, he predictably chose to blame all of the world’s problems on Israel—and did not even mention Hamas: Jordanian King’s Address to Congress Draws Criticism For One-Sided Mideast Peace Outlook.

WASHINGTON —  Top House Democrats said Wednesday they are “disappointed” with Jordanian King Abdullah’s address to a joint meeting of Congress in which he singled out the plight of Palestinians without mentioning the role of Palestinian groups in preventing a Mideast peace.

In a room with a number of pro-Israeli politicians, the king devoted his speech to discussing an end to the conflict in the Middle East, but he focused primarily on the needs of the Palestinians and suggested that Israel was holding up the peace process.

At no point did he discuss the role of Hamas, the U.S.-designated terror group that is the majority partner in the Palestinian government. Hamas has refused to recognize Israel or change its charter calling for the destruction of the Jewish state.

“I meet Muslims thousands of miles away who have a deep, personal response to the suffering of the Palestinian people. They want to know how it is, that ordinary Palestinians are still without rights and without a country. They ask whether the West really means what it says about equality and respect and universal justice,” he said.

At least one Congressman was ecstatic at the King’s standard-issue “Arabs hate Israel” speech, though.

Abdullah set the tone for his 30-minute speech at the outset when he noted the historic make-up of the 110th Congress, which “welcomes its first woman speaker and its first Muslim-American member of Congress.” …

Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison is the first Muslim member of Congress. Upon Abdullah’s recognition, he shook hands with his seated neighbors, Reps. John Lewis, Rahm Emanuel and Hoyer.

At the end of the speech when the king offered a traditional Arabic greeting for peace, Ellison vocally responded in kind. He was the only attendee to do so and gave an embarrassed laugh as people turned to look at him.

Businessman charges ex-secretary of state used middleman to ’sell out’ Israel for profit  

RAMAT HASHARON, Israel – The law firm at which former Secretary of State James Baker is a senior partner used an Israeli middleman to bypass U.S. sanctions on Iraq and push through a multimillion-dollar collection effort involving the regime of Saddam Hussein, according to a businessman here who said he mediated the deal.

Nir Gouaz, president of Caesar Global Securities in Israel, told WND that Baker’s firm, Houston-based Baker Botts, made about $30 million collecting funds owed to a South Korean company by the Iraqi government at the peak of American sanctions imposed against Baghdad.

He claimed Baker was directly involved in the deal.

Gouaz told WND he decided to come forward with details of the alleged transactions after the release earlier this month of a report by the Iraq Study Group, a commission headed by Baker that recommended an eventual U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and dialogue with Iran and Syria.

Jimmy fails to mention onslaught of terrorist attacks against Israelis 

From WorldNetDaily  

Without mentioning the onslaught of attacks by Palestinian terrorists, former President Jimmy Carter told a national audience watching the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno” there is “horrible persecution” of Palestinians at the hands of Israelis, and he is urging a return to peace talks between the residents of the embattled region.

“In Palestinian territory, there is horrible persecution of the Palestinians who live on their own land,” Carter said.

“A minority of Israelis want to have the land instead of peace. The majority of Israelis for the last 30 years have always said [they] will exchange their own land in exchange for peace. But a minority disagrees and they have occupied the land, they have confiscated it, they have colonized it, and they forced Palestinians away from their homes, away from their pastures, away from their fields, cut down the olive trees and severely persecuted the Palestinians.”

For those with eyes to see, there were hints as far back as the 1976 presidential campaign of the trouble to come. Early that year, Harper’s magazine published “Jimmy Carter’s Pathetic Lies,” a devastating exposé of Carter’s record in Georgia by a then little-known journalist named Steven Brill.

Reg Murphy, who as editor of the Atlanta Constitution had kept a close eye on Carter’s rise in state politics, declared, “Jimmy Carter is one of the three or four phoniest men I ever met.”

Speechwriter Bob Shrum quit the Carter campaign after just a few weeks, disgusted with what he described as Carter’s penchant for fudging the truth. He also related that Carter, convinced the Jewish vote in the Democratic primaries would go to Senator Henry (“Scoop”) Jackson, had instructed his staff not to issue any more statements on the Middle East.
 
“Jackson has all the Jews anyway,” Shrum quoted Carter as saying. “We get the Christians.”
 
Relations between Carter and Israel were tense from the outset of the Carter presidency. Carter’s hostility was evident to Israeli foreign minister Moshe Dayan, who in his memoir Breakthrough described a July 1977 White House meeting between Carter and Israeli officials. “You are more stubborn than the Arabs, and you put obstacles on the path to peace,’’ an angry Carter scolded Dayan and his colleagues.
 
“Our talk,” Dayan wrote, “lasted more than an hour and was most unpleasant. President Carter…launched charge after charge against Israel.”
 
On October 1, 1977, the U.S. and the Soviet Union unexpectedly issued a joint statement on the Middle East calling for an Arab-Israeli peace conference in Geneva, with the participation of Palestinian representatives. The communiqué marked the first time the U.S. officially employed the phrase “legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.”
 
Reaction in the U.S. was immediate and furious. “[A] political firestorm erupted,” wrote historian Steven Spiegel. “After American officials had worked successfully for years to reduce Russian influence over the Mideast peace process and in the area as whole, critics could not understand why the administration had suddenly invited Moscow to return.”
 
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, who five years earlier had expelled thousands of Soviet military advisers from Egypt, neither liked nor trusted the Russians, and decided to kill the U.S.-Soviet initiative in the womb. His decision to go to Jerusalem to address the Knesset electrified the world and caught the Carter administration completely off guard.
 
Eventually the U.S. would broker what became known as the Camp David Accords and oversee the signing of the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty. But Carter was far from a dispassionate third party. His disdain for Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin and near hero-worship of Sadat were clearly reflected in his demeanor and has informed nearly everything he’s written on the Middle East since leaving office.
 
In The Unfinished Presidency, his book about Carter’s post-White House activities, the liberal historian Douglas Brinkley provides a detailed account of the former president’s obsession with helping Palestinian terror chief Yasir Arafat polish his image. Carter, according to Brinkley, regularly advised Arafat on how to shape his message for Western journalists and even wrote some speeches for him.
 
Carter was also a vocal critic of Israeli policies and “view[ed] the unarmed young Palestinians who stood up against thousands of Israel soldiers as ‘instant heroes,’” wrote Brinkley. “Buoyed by the intifada, Carter passed on to the Palestinians, through Arafat, his congratulations.”
 
Former New York mayor Ed Koch, in his 1984 bestseller Mayor, recounted a conversation he had shortly before the 1980 election with Cyrus Vance, who’d recently resigned as Carter’s secretary of state. Koch told Vance that many Jews would not be voting for Carter because they feared “that if he is reelected he will sell them out.”
 
“Vance,” recalled Koch, “nodded and said, ‘He will.’ ”
 
In Dangerous Liaison: The Inside Story of the U.S.-Israeli Covert Relationship, Andrew and Leslie Cockburn revealed that during a March 1980 meeting with his senior political advisers, Carter, discussing his fading reelection prospects and his sinking approval rating in the Jewish community, snapped, “If I get back in, I’m going to [expletive] the Jews.”
 
Carter – such was the country’s good fortune – did not get back in. But as evidenced by his years of pro-Palestinian advocacy, reams of anti-Israel op-ed articles, and the release last week of his latest book/screed,  Palestine Peace Not Apartheid, he’s been trying to [expletive] the Jews ever since.

The United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA) might finally be learning that bashing Israel isn’t a job for teachers.

It is no secret that the teachers union did everything in its power to defeat Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his educational reforms during last year’s special election in California.  What wasn’t as widely known until this month was that UTLA has also been doing its part to bring Israel, a country many of UTLA’s radical leaders detest, to her knees.  

Not until it was bombarded by complaints from concerned citizens did UTLA cancel its decision to host a meeting sponsored by the Los Angeles Chapter of Movement for a Democratic Society (MDS).  The purpose of the upcoming event is not to help spread democracy in the Middle East, but to hurt the lone democracy in the region by “launching a local boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign in support of the Palestinian people.”  The MDS can boast about having on its National Board Noam Chomsky, whose book Hegemony or Survival: The Imperialist Strategy of the United States was praised by Hugo Chavez last month at the United Nations.  Indeed, Chomsky, Chavez and the MSD all share a deep hatred for Israel.  While Chavez has accused Israel of committing a “new Holocaust,” the MDS believes that “Israel’s apartheid and racist system of oppression closely resembles that which South Africa once had.”

Apparently, for the MDS, such methods as “boycotting companies that are invested in Israel” and “working to end US government foreign and military aid to Israel” aren’t the only acceptable ways of bringing about the country’s destruction.  On the flier for the event, which was originally posted on the UTLA Human Rights Committee website, there is no condemnation of the never-ending terrorist attacks perpetrated against innocent Israeli citizens.  In fact, the only mention of the intifada can be found at the bottom of the notice:  “Meeting endorsed by: Los Angeles Palestine Labor Solidarity Committee Café Intifada.”

WASHINGTON — It seems to me that the Islamofascists of Hezbollah have made a parlous mistake. They have demonstrated that they have missiles that can cause dreadful localized carnage and that they are continuing to improve those missiles. Someday these weapons will be able to cause widespread carnage. Hezbollah’s killers have demonstrated that they will infiltrate their brutes into civilian neighborhoods and use suicide bombers. They have refused to abide by United Nations resolutions. They have revealed that they have powerful supporters in Syria and Iran. Actually the Syrians and Iranians have not been coy about showing their support for Hezbollah’s brutal asymmetrical warfare, and here they too have made a mistake. In their unconscionable bellicosity Hezbollah’s guerrillas, the Syrians, and the Iranians have all donned bull’s-eyes. They have made themselves targets.

Now that Israel has responded to rocket attacks and the abduction of its soldiers by terrorists by making military strikes into areas controlled by those terrorists, much of our media are deploring another “cycle of violence” in the Middle East.
For reasons unknown, some people seem to regard verbal equivalence as moral equivalence — and the latter as some kind of badge of broadmindedness, if not intellectual superiority.
Therefore, when Palestinian terrorists (”militants” in politically correct Newspeak) attack Israel and then Israel responds with military force, that is just another “cycle of violence” in the Middle East to some people.
The “cycle” notion suggests that each side is just responding to what the other side does. But just what had Israel done to set off these latest terrorist acts? It voluntarily pulled out of Gaza, after evacuating its own settlers, and left the land to the Palestinian authorities.
Terrorists then used the newly acquired land to launch rockets into Israel and then seized an Israeli soldier. Other terrorists in Lebanon followed suit. The great mantra of the past, “trading land for peace,” is now thoroughly discredited, or should be.
But facts mean nothing to people who are determined to find equivalence, whether today in the Middle East or yesterday in the Cold War.
Since all things are the same, except for the differences, and different except for the similarities, nothing is easier than to create verbal parallels and moral equivalence, though some people seem to pride themselves on their ability to do such verbal tricks.
Centuries ago, Thomas Hobbes said that words are wise men’s counters but that they are the money of fools.
Regardless of fashionable rhetoric, there is no Middle East “peace process” any more than trading “land for peace” has been a viable option. Nor is a Palestinian “homeland” a key to peace.
During all the years when Arab countries controlled the land now proposed for a Palestinian homeland, there was no talk about any such homeland. Only after Israel took control of that territory as a result of the 1967 war was it suddenly sacred as a Palestinian homeland.
There is no concession that will bring lasting peace to the Middle East because the terrorists and their supporters are not going to be satisfied by concessions. The only thing that will satisfy them is the destruction of Israel.
Pending that, they will inflict as much destruction and bloodshed on the Israelis as they can get away with at any given time. This brutal reality is not going to vanish through verbal sleight of hand.
The terrorists have spoken in words and in deeds, including suicide bombers. They have what Churchill once described in the Nazis as “currents of hatred so intense as to sear the souls of those who swim upon them.”
We saw that on 9/11 — or should have seen it. But many, especially among the intelligentsia, are determined not to see it.
Of all the Western democracies, only two have no choice but to depend on their own military forces for their survival — the United States and Israel. The rest have for more than half a century had the luxury of depending on American military forces in general and the American nuclear deterrent in particular.
People who have long been sheltered from mortal dangers can indulge themselves in the belief that there are no mortal dangers. Nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran or North Korea — and, through them, in the hands of hate-filled terrorists — may be all that will finally wake up such people. But that may be tragically too late.
Those who keep calling for an end to the “cycle of violence” are what make such violence more likely. “World opinion” in general and the United Nations in particular can always be counted on to counsel “restraint” in response to attacks and “negotiations” in response to lethal threats.
What that means is that those who start trouble will have a lower price to pay than if those they attacked were free to go all out in their counter-attack. Lowering the price to be paid by aggressors virtually guarantees more aggression.

On 13 September 1993, Israel and the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) agreed to and signed the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements — what has come to be commonly known as the “Oslo Accords”. Former PLO chairman Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin endorsed the deal that was partially brokered by then President of the United Stated Bill Clinton. Even during the signing ceremony in Washington D.C., the signatories to the agreement were said to have expressed an alliance of discomfort.

The primary propose of the agreement was to establish peace between Israel and an emerging Palestinian state and to create a 2-state (Israel and Palestine) solution to the ongoing armed conflicts between the two parties. At the heart of the contract were three major points:

1. Transfer of Powers to the Palestinians: The DOP features an agreement in principle regarding a transfer of power and responsibilities to the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, so they may have control over their own affairs.

2. The DOP does not prejudge the Permanent Status: The DOP specifically states that permanent status issues, such as Jerusalem, refugees, settlements, security arrangements and borders are to be excluded from the interim arrangements and that the outcome of the permanent status talks should not be prejudged or preempted by the interim arrangements. During this period, the Israeli government retains sole responsibility for foreign affairs, defense and borders. Israel’s position on Jerusalem
remains unchanged. When the DOP was signed, Prime Minister Rabin stated that “Jerusalem is the ancient and eternal capital of the Jewish people.” An undivided Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, with religious freedom for all, is and remains a fundamental Israeli position.

3. Security remains an Israeli responsibility: In the DOP, Israel and the PLO agree that during the interim period, Israel will remain responsible for security along the international borders and the crossing points to Egypt and Jordan. Israel will also retain responsibility for and the overall security of Israelis in the West Bank and Gaza, the Israeli settlements in those areas, and freedom of movement on roads.

There were multiple other agreements negotiated and authorized between Israel and the PLO, leading up to the ceding of the Israeli Gaza to the Palestinians in 2005. During this period, then Israeli PM Ariel Sharon dismantled all of the Katif Jewish communities in Gaza, four Jewish communities in Samaria and moved and relocated Jewish citizens from their homes and businesses. These actions were supposed to bring peace and harmony to the side-by-side states of Israel and a newly-formed
“Palestine”. However, the Palestinians then proceeded to elect terrorist Hamas members as their leaders. The newly elected Hamas, as has Islamo-fascist Iran, now refused to recognize Israel as a sovereign nation and has vowed and continues to vow to destroy the nation of Israel. It also immediately ignored the “truce” between the Palestinian Authority and its neighbor and immediately began shelling Israel — again. Hamas also started abducting Israeli citizens, including the most recent kidnapping
of an Israeli soldier. Hamas wants the entire country of Israel — not just the Gaza.

Then, after 22 years of fighting in southern Lebanon in order to protect its residents in the northern regions, the Israeli Army pulled out of that country in 2000. This was largely a reaction by Israel to world pressure for Israel to leave Lebanon. However, the pull-out left no buffer zone between the terrorist Hezbollah-controlled southern regions of Lebanon and the residents of northern Israel. In 2005, Lebanon ostensibly kicked occupying Syria out of power and conducted its first general
elections in thirty years without Syrian military and intelligence forces in-country. However, the new Lebanese government either does not have the will or is unable to control the Hezbollah menace. Unprovoked by Israel, Hezbollah operatives covertly invaded the no longer buffered area of northern Israel, began a firefight that killed 7 soldiers and then kidnapped 2 soldiers that they are also holding hostage. Currently, there seems to be no doubt that Iran and Syria are financing and
coordinating Hezbollah in Lebanon — just as it comes as no surprise that Iran strongly appears to be funding and supporting the actions of Hamas in Palestine.

Note: Hezbollah members are now part of the Lebanese government. Haaretz.com reports: “When asked by a reporter why Lebanon does not disarm Hezbollah, Mawad said the organization was brought into the government to grant its members the feeling they are Lebanese.”

Now, the “world” is again, as it has done multiple times before, in essence telling Israel that it has no right to protect itself. Using such terminology as Israel’s “overreaction” (to the continuing kidnappings and killings of Israeli citizens as well as rockets continuing to be fired into its country) and saying that Israel’s response needs to be “more balanced”, the “world” is telling Israel to “back off” from its self-protection! Of course, the world’s reaction to Israel’s attempt to protect its citizens — even its very existence — is specious at best; insane and terrorist-supporting at its worst.

So, there you have it. Israel has bowed to world opinion on two fronts — controlled by terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah — and it is now forced to fight on those same fronts. This is one of the clearest and most outstanding examples of what appeasement of one’s enemy produces. Accession to the demands of those who have already said they will destroy you, quite obviously doesn’t work. Instead, it only leads to the new requirement of even more conciliations. Eventually, these lead to the
non-existence of the appeasers. As of Saturday morning, Hamas has issued a statement advising that it is its intention that Islam destroy the infidels (non-Muslims) and rule the world — with its sights firmly on Israel, the United States and Europe.

Still think appeasement works?
