PALESTINIAN MUSLIM JOURNALISTS BLACKLISTED/EXPELLED FOR MEETING WITH JEWISH JOURNALISTS
This is not surprising -- but revealing. Muslim journalists blacklisted and thrown out for meeting with Jewish journalists. It's in the koran. It's part of Islamic text. Totten has ben covering the Middle east for how long and he still doesn't know it's about the annihlation and extermination of the Jews?
This is man bites dog story -- but revealing just the same because it validates the unspeakable obvious.
Palestinian Journalists Blacklistsed Michael Totten
Those who believe peace in the Middle East may be just around the corner need to think long and hard about this. Palestinian journalists who last week met with their Israeli colleagues and an IDF spokesman in Tel Aviv have come under fire from both Hamas and Fatah. The trip was arranged by the non-profit Israel advocacy group The Israel Project, whose Web site described the group as "an international non-profit organization devoted to educating the press and the public about Israel while promoting security, freedom and peace."
The journalists met with Maj. Avichai Edri, head of the Arabic-language branch of the IDF Spokesman's Office.
Three of the journalists -- Lana Shaheen, Mueen al-Hilu and Abdel Salam Abu Askar -- are from the Gaza Strip, while another two are from the West Bank.
They now face expulsion from the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Journalists Syndicate on charges of promoting normalization with Israel.

One of the groups, the Democratic Press Association, called on the journalists to "repent" and express publicly apologize for visiting the "Zionist entity and meeting with Zionist reporters."
No one has ever demanded I "repent" or apologize for visiting an Arab country or meeting with Arab spokesman or colleagues. I even lived in an Arab country and would do so again, and not a single American has ever accused me of being a traitor. I haven't even been mildly criticized for it. I'm not Israeli, of course, but I know Israeli journalists who have worked in Arab countries and have Arab friends, and they don't face these kinds of problems at home.
If I were blacklisted out of my profession for visiting, say, Lebanon or Iraq, I wouldn't want to live in America anymore. Posted by Michael J. Totten at March 30, 2010 8:17 PM
And more Muslim taqiya for Western asshats from PMW:
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques ZilberdikContrary to statements by both Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and ChairmanMahmoud Abbas supporting a "non-violent resistance," their actions continue to support violence and terror. As Palestinian Media Watch has reported, the PA leaders have repeatedly honored terrorists in well-publicized acts of support in recent months.The PA leadership's most recent show of terror support was last week, when both Abbas and Fayyad honored one of the notorious terrorists of the first years of the Palestinian terror war (the "Intifada"). The terrorist Abdallah Daud headed the Palestinian intelligence service in Bethlehem, and was actively involved in the Palestinian terror against Israeli civilians. When Israel entered Bethlehem in 2002 in an attempt to eradicate the Palestinian terror, Abdallah Daud was one of the most wanted Palestinian terrorists who stormed into the Church of the Nativity.For several weeks, Daud and his fellow terrorists continued fighting against Israel from inside the church, essentially using the monks and the religious site as their shields. The confrontation ended when Israel decided to let the terrorists leave without trial and they were deported to foreign countries and Gaza. Daud was sent to Cypress and later Mauritania, where he died last week of natural causes.Ignoring the crimes and terror that led to Daud's deportation, the PA leaders last week chose to honor the terrorist Daud by giving him an "official" funeral. The official PA daily reported on the funeral with a large picture on its front page.Abbas sent his personal emissary to the funeral. He spoke in Abbas's name:"We must maintain the way of the Shahid (Martyr) Daud, who always believed in the struggle, in love of the homeland, and in the realization of national unity." [Al-Quds, March 28, 2010]Palestinian PM Fayyad chose to honor the terrorist publicly and in person by paying a condolence visit to the home of his family. Fayyad "enumerated the Shahid's (Martyr's) virtues" and noted his "suffering from the injustice of his expulsion." The story of his honoring the terrorist was also reported on the front page of the official PA daily.Other recent examples of Fayyad honoring terrorists:On December 26, 2009, Fayyad paid condolence calls to the homes of each of the three terrorists who murdered Israeli Rabbi Meir Avshalom Hai in a drive-by shooting.On February 14, 2010, Fayyad paid a condolence call to the family of a terrorist who attempted to stab an Israeli soldier.Other recent examples of Abbas honoring terrorists:On December 27, 2009, Abbas honored the three terrorists who murdered Israeli Rabbi Meir Avshalom Hai, in a drive-by shooting, calling them "Shahids [Martyrs] of the Palestinian revolution..."On December 29, 2009, Abbas honored the terrorist Dalal Mughrabi with a birthday party.On January 17, 2010 Abbas defended naming a square after the terrorist Dalal Mughrabi.On March 6, 2010 Abbas promoted imprisoned terrorist Mahmoud Damra to major-general.On March 9, 2010 Abbas's representative honored the terrorist Dalal Mughrabi by calling her the "bridge over which we pass on the way toour freedom."The following is the report from the front page of the official PA daily about Fayyad's condolences last week:"Prime Minister Dr. Salam Fayyad yesterday expressed his condolences at the Balata refugee camp in Nablus, over the death of theShahid (Martyr) Abdallah Daud. The Prime Minister enumerated the Shahid's virtues and said that his death far from the homeland and suffering from the injustice of his expulsion, bestows upon his Martyrdom a clear national and human character."[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 31, 2010]The following is the report on Abbas's statement read by Mahmoud Al-Aloul, member of the Fatah Central Committee, at the funeral:"Mahmoud Al-Aloul, member of the Fatah Central Committee, delivered a speech on behalf of PresidentMahmoud Abbas , during which he recounted the life story of the Shahid (Martyr), who sacrificed his life for his country and for his people. Al-Aloul said that we must maintain the way of the Shahid Daud, who always believed in the struggle, in love of the homeland, and in the realization of national unity."[Al-Quds, March 28, 2010]
PAMELA GELLER, AMERICAN THINKER: OBAMA'S NUCLEAR POSER REVIEW
Please read my latest oped piece in the American Thinker:
I am actually embarrassed for my nation.
Obama is leaving America flailing in the hostile wind. Was there ever a more frightful time in American history than the age of Obama? Yes, there were very dangerous periods (the Civil War, World War I, World War II), but during those times of great crisis the steward of this nation was always a patriot, a freedom-lover -- an American. As I explain in my forthcoming book The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America (Simon & Schuster), Obama, in contrast, is a socialist internationalist who clearly despises this country and the whole idea of America, the first moral nation, built on the principle of freedom itself, in human history.
He himself said it in April 2009. During a visit to London for a summit of the Group of Twenty Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (G-20), a reporter asked Obama: "[C]ould I ask you whether you subscribe, as many of your predecessors have, to the school of ‘American exceptionalism' that sees America as uniquely qualified to lead the world, or do you have a slightly different philosophy?"
Obama offered no avowal of American uniqueness. Instead, he equated American exceptionalism with the national pride that a citizen of any nation could feel: "I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism."

ANOTHER GENOCIDE BY ISLAM: ANNIVERSARY REMEMBRANCE OF THE GREEK GENOCIDE ACROSS FROM THE UN
Today the anniversary of the Thracian Genocide was remembered in a gathering across from the UN (video and pics here.) Never heard of it? Another genocide by Muslims scrubbed?
Like the Armenian Genocide, this too was committed by the Turks. It appears they have an appetite for such wickedness.
The Thracian Genocide was the systematic torture, massacre and ethnic cleansing of several millions Hellenes (Greeks) perpetrated by the Turks throughout historic THRACE an area that includes Constantinople (now called Istanbul by the Turks), Eastern Thrace, and the islands of Imvros, Tenedos.
Another genocide committed by the Turks. ..
The speakers we heard speaking were Armenian, Assyrian and Greek.
The event is supporting:
- Worldwide Affirmation of the Genocide of Hellenes (Greeks) perpetrated by Turkey and the Young Turk Party in Thrace, Anatolia, and Asia Minor.
- Recognition of the ongoing cultural genocide of Thracian Hellenes (Greeks).Speakers included the President of the Hellenic Organization of University Graduates of America HOUGA, the Pan-Pontian Federation USA and CANADA President and officials, and members and officials of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York.This year’s memorial included unique scholars and a solemn recital of the orphic hymns for our dead.
For more information on the Hellenic Genocide Memorial go to WWW.THRACIANGENOCIDE.ORG and download the pamphlet : “The Genocide of the Greeks”
All were there to remind those passing by that this genocide really did happen and sadly, continues today.

EDL SCENES FROM THE FRONT: LEADING THE MARCH
EDL Rally: [4/5/2010 10:01:06 PM] Trevor Kelway: This is the Russian girl who did the short speech in Russian to support the families of those who have died in recent suicide attacks. She wanted to lead the march.
I thought my readers should see more of what actually happened at the EDL rally.
Sareeta, a British Indian Sikh girl and her friend, who was of Caribbean appearance immediately made it clear that the English Defence League was not formed as an organisation which discriminated against individuals from an ethnic background other than English. Surprisingly there are still some narrow minded individuals and groups around in this day and age who will attempt to smear an organisation with these accusations for political gain, even though they know the accusations to be false. Also, Guramit gave a speech, and there was also a speech by a young girl with family in Russia. She gave her speech in Russian as a message of support for the recent Muslim Metro suicide bombings. Sareeta's speech, and the young girls speech can be found here.
EDL Supporters are pelted with Bricks and Bottles
Unfortunately, whilst Sareeta was giving her speech, a mob had approached a corner of the cage surrounding us and started to throw bricks and bottles at us. This caused a surge towards the area, and the missiles were thrown back. Police officers outside the cage did nothing. They stood idly by as we were pelted with a barrage of missiles. This was the moment when some members of our group proceeded to shake the fences down in an attempt to chase the offenders away. We were completely defenceless from inside this makeshift cage, and though we do not condone violence, self defence is the right of every human being. As i mentioned , the police stood and did nothing from outside the cage, and left our stewards to attempt to diffuse the situation. Eventually the fences came down, and at this point the police officers who were standing at the safety of the exterior of the cage appeared to run away! Our stewards did a fantastic job at calming the crowd and containing them in the designated area alone, and as you can see by the video, no major disruption was caused.
Robert Spencer has more on the latest subterfuge to infiltrate the EDL.
EDL rejects white supremacists, neo-Nazis trying to infiltrate
Here is a message from English Defense League leader Tommy Robinson, further belying charges that the group is racist, neo-fascist, neo-Nazi, etc. "Extreme Far Right Nationalists Trying To Recruit EDL": EDL rejects white supremacists, neo-Nazis trying to infiltrate
*GRAPHIC* VIDEO EVIDENCE OF RAPE IN THE PRISONS OF THE IRANIAN REGIME
The brutality of the crackdown on the Iranian people marching for freedom, for one man one vote, was impossible for those of us in the West to fathom. We heard the horror stories. We saw unarmed people meeting bullets with sheer will. But you cannot win this way.
We watched our President of the United States sanction a crushing suppression of people yearning to be free. We witnessed our President of the United States sanction mass raping and torture and public hangings of innocent people by an Islamic regime that our President of the United States demands that we respect.
Video evidence of rape in the prisons of the Iranian regime *warning – graphic* Planet Iran hat tip Banafsheh
I covered the Iranian revolution extensively -- please scroll here -- there are well over a hundred posts of just revolution coverage. Brutal. The Iranian revolution was what we were waiting for. We knew it was coming. Bush knew it was coming.
Obama sanctioned its squashing like a bug.
Atlas FLASHBACK: Taraneh Moussavi's family says they found her burnt body on the road between the Tehran suburb of Karadj and the town of Qazvin, northwest of Tehran. Taraneh was arrested by the regime's guards just after leaving her beauty school class & was waiting for a friend to arrive.Iran Press News (hat tip Banafsheh)
Taraneh M. is a 28 year old trainee beautician who was arrested more than two weeks ago by security forces on the fringe of the rally on 7th tir (28th june).
Atlas July 14th:
Reports indicate that her family were told that she was in danger due to damage to her anus and womb.
According to reports, this young woman was arrested by plain clothes security forces at 6 pm after participating in the 7th tir ceremony at Ghoba mosque. While after interrogation all other detainees were brought to Nobonyad police station by basij and intelligence agents, the plain clothes agents kept Taraneh in a building near Hosseinie Ershad.
According to witnesses, while most of the participants in the ceremony were dressed in normal clothes and trainers, Taraneh was wearing chic clothes and high-heeled shoes, and caught the interrogators’ attention because of her hairstyle, make-up and beauty.
Obama say: We seek broader engagement based upon mutual interest and mutual respect. We will listen carefully, we will bridge misunderstanding, and we will seek common ground. We will be respectful even when we do not agree.
