PRESIDENTIAL: MORAL, COURAGEOUS, AMERICAN ....PALIN ON ISRAEL
Palin just gets better and better, and she was brilliant to begin with. It is no wonder Obama and his left-wing paramilitary thugs are scared to death of her. This is what the leader of the free world should sound like.
Over at Conservatives for Palin:
John McCormack at the Weekly Standard has obtained an advance copy of Governor Palin's imminent Facebook Post:
The media, as usual, seems to be reporting only one side of the Israeli Flotilla incident. Don’t trust the mainstream media to give you both sides of a story fairly… you must seek out fair reporting to ensure you have all the information.
As far too many in the media, and in various governments, rush to condemn Israel, we must put the recent events off Israel’s coast into the right perspective. This “relief” convoy was not about humanitarian aid, as the liberal mainstream media keepsreporting. The whole operation was designed to provoke Israel, not to provide supplies to Palestinians held hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Anyone who sees the video of Israeli commandos being attacked as they land on that ship knows the people aboard were vicious thugs, not “peace activists.” The media insults our intelligence with their outright mischaracterization of who these enemies are.
Israel delivers thousands of tons of humanitarian supplies every week to Gaza. These ships could have offloaded their cargoes at a nearby Israeli port if they really wanted to help the people of Gaza. Instead, they chose to incite confrontation and violence. Israel has a right to prevent arms shipments to Gaza that will be used to target innocent Israelis, so they were legitimately checking the cargo on the flotilla. Turkey has chosen to condemn Israel but we should be asking some serious questions about Turkey’s role in this whole affair. Why is a fellow member of NATO sponsoring such a dangerous publicity stunt? As one expert points out: “Three ships of that six-ship pro-terror convoy flew Turkish flags and were crowded with Turkish citizens. The Ankara government – led by Islamists these days – sponsored the ‘aid’ operation in a move to position itself as the new champion of the Palestinians. And Turkish decision-makers knew Israel would have to react – and were waiting to exploit the inevitable clash. The provocation was as cynical as it was carefully orchestrated.”
We can only hope the Obama Administration does not join the anti-Israel chorus in the aftermath of this staged confrontation. Please, Mr. President, we need to let Israelis know we stand with them in their fight against terrorists and those who arm and support them. America and her ally, Israel, stand by waiting for your response.

Here's what they are saying about The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America
Sheer brilliance! The ultimate patriot's handbook. Sharp, well-written and to-the-point. Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer lay bare Barack Hussein Obama's radical, anti-America agenda and how to stop it. No true American's library will be complete without this book.
- Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Foreign Influence. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At a time when the US media – the traditional watchdogs of American democracy have transformed themselves into President Barack Obama’s lapdogs, the new media, on the Internet plays a crucial role in bringing accurate news to the public’s attention. At Atlas Shrugs, Pamela Geller does this on a daily basis. In the Post-American Presidency, Geller shines her laser on President Barack Obama – his life, his values, his friends and his perceptions of the country he leads. What she reports will disturb not only every American who believes in that America is the Shining City on the Hill and that the American people are what Abraham Lincoln referred to as “the almost chosen people.” It should also disturb people around the world who recognize that the international system stops working when the American Atlas shirks the burden of its uniqueness.

The Czechs, Israelis, Indians and other US allies were the first to realize we were heading toward a post-American world. Now it’s time for Americans to wake up to the realities of this President’s transformation of the country and its global role. Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer are two of the most incisive analysts of events at home and abroad, and you could not ask for better guides to where “hope”, “change” and czars are taking us – and what Americans can do about it.
--Mark Steyn is an international bestselling author, columnist and leading Canadian human rights activist.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This book is a chilling analysis of how the policy of president Barack Obama is chipping away at the very foundation of America's leading role in the world. It exposes his philosophy of near universal ‘moral equivalency’; a philosophy that is a dead ringer for the cultural relativism that has been poisoning Europe for the past decades. America is the last man standing and it is vital that the people in Europe adopt the attitude of proud American citizens and learn that it is not shameful to be proud of one’s heritage. This book is incredibly fascinating and at the same time holds a deeply disturbing message -- a message we should all take to heart.
---Geert Wilders Dutch MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barack Obama is a revolutionary on a mission to cut America down to size. One size fits all, to be precise. His post-sovereign America is a country no different from any other: economically bankrupt, morally rudderless, with nothing exceptional about it besides the heights from which it tumbles and the remorselessness of its choice – his choice – to decline. With their characteristic attention to detail, clarity and fearlessness, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer assay the wreckage. The Post-American Presidency is must reading for every concerned American who needs to know why we’re in this perilous moment, and where we’re headed if we don’t take our exceptional country back.
--Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review legal affairs editor and bestselling author of Willful Blindness: A Memoir of the Jihad
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barack Obama is the most radical individual ever to occupy the White House. This excellent book by Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer explains exactly what that means and why its implications are fraught with such dangers for this great Republic.

ANOTHER TWO WARSHIPS IN ANTI-HUMANITARIAN FLOTILLA MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE JEWISH STATE
In the post-American world, a convoy of war ships trussed up as a "flotilla" is affectionately called "humanitarian aid."
Worse still, Gaza, the world's largest and most successful fund raiser, is receiving more aid per person, per square mile, than anywhere else in the world. Gaza suffers no lack of "humanitarian aid," but it's not about that, it is about creating a narrative, as Nazi Germany did, in which to frame the next holocaust. The killing flotilla has become the rallying cry for the global jihadists hell bent on fulfilling the express command to kill the Jews, as prescribed over and over in the koran.
The only suffering in Gaza is at the hands of the barbarians, Hamas, whose first paragraph in their charter calls for the destruction of the Jewish state. Mere details, I know.
This is not about land, or humanitarian aid. This is about jihad, Islamic supremacism and annihilating the Jews. The level of anti-semitism in my email box and in the comments is full blown out of control. Evil unleashed. Pure evil. This is not about borders or land or aid. This about good vs. evil.
56 ginormous Muslim countries, one tiny Jewish state, and they are in a constant bloodthirsty frenzy over it.
Next up? Two more war ships, "jihad flotillas make their way to the Jewish state;..........
IDF General Staff Operations Commander Col. Itzik Turjeman told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday that two additional ships of the militant left flotilla are on their way to Gaza. He said they will be stopped as well, hinting that electronic means, or others, might be used.
Asked why the S.S. Marmaris was not physically stopped by the Navy without risking helicopter-borne soldiers rappelling down into a lynch mob, Turjeman said that the Marmaris is too large and heavy to have been physically blocked by navy ships.MK Tzachi HaNegbi (Kadima), Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, opened the session with these remarks: “After Operation Cast Lead, the government decided to impose a maritime blockade on Gaza [in accordance with international law governing parties in a state of armed conflict – ed.], and that all cargo headed for Gaza would be checked first in the Ashdod port… This issue is a matter of total consensus in Israel, and the reason is the sense of injustice that we all feel, the cynicism and hypocrisy that typify the attack on the State of Israel, and the sense we all have that the IDF’s operation yesterday was logical and ethical. We left Gaza five years ago, yet for years we have been attacked from Gaza, and our soldier Gilad Shalit is still being held in a dark dungeon in Gaza. We therefore feel that we have the right to act in the way we did.”
HaNegbi added that many questions remain open in terms of the operation, the intelligence that preceded it, and the PR efforts after it, “and we will insist on investigating these matters and receiving answers.”
Several terror activists wounded on the Marmaris ship early Tuesday morning are hospitalized in several hospitals throughout Israel. Each of them is guarded by a military policeman, ensuring that he not try to escape or give media interviews.
Dozens of others who were arrested after being taken off the ships are being questioned. Some are being sent home, among them an American citizen. Three Spaniards who received expulsion orders refused to sign them and leave and are being held at a detention center.
Among those removed from the ships is Sheikh Ra'ad Salah, head of the Northern Branch of the extremist Islamic Movement in Israel. He was originally thought to have been injured on the boat, leading to Israeli-Arab rioting and much media speculation, but he is now known to be safe and sound.
Arab MK Hanin Zouabi (Balad), a rookie female MK from Nazareth, was on board the ship as well, but was released straight home because of her parliamentary immunity - infuriating some Knesset Members. MK Aryeh Bibi (Kadima) said, “Our democracy has lost its direction. We’ve reached the point where Arab citizens and MKs do whatever they wish. Zouabi’s parliamentary immunity must be removed and she should be arrested. I’d like to see her try similar protests in Arab countries… let her join the Hamas regime in Gaza.”
MK Danny Danon (Likud) said, “Zouabi and her Hamas friends boarded this flotilla as shahids [martyrs] who said that they knew that they might die in the course of harming IDF soldiers. Instead of making peace, Zouabi started war on board the ship. Terror activists like her must not be permitted to return to the Knesset.” Zouabi was recorded shouting for help in English and Hebrew when the IDF boarded the ship on which she sailed.

RE-ISLAMICIZED TURKEY TURNS A CORNER, TURNS AGAINST, ATTACKS ISRAEL
Today's attack on Israel was a military operation from the re-islamicized Turkey, with the tacit support of the Erdogan government. Turkey intends to become a regional power, perhaps a return of the Ottoman empire.
Turkey has warned that its relationship with Israel has been severely damaged after at least nine people died when troops stormed ships trying to break the Gaza blockade.
The Turkish government has long been Israel's main regional ally but called the raid an act of state terrorism and has accused Israel of violating international law.
Turkey has recalled its Ambassador form Israel and called it an act of piracy on the high seas after supporting the convoy of war ships.
The latest attack on Israel came from ............... the once moderate, Israeli ally Turkey. But no more, not since the re-islamization of Turkey where the number #1 selling book is Mein Kampf
The July 2007 election win of devout Muslims in Turkey (AK party) over the moderates was a red flag. The warning, yet again, of Turkey’s re- islamization. After decades of Ataturk's moderation, Turkey turned - and turned harder still with the August 2007 election of an Islamic fundamentalist, Prime Minister, Tayyip Recep Erdogan. His devout, pure Islamic leanings are here and here.
[Erdogan] is the first politician with an Islamist background to become head of state since the creation of the deeply secular Turkish Republic in 1923.
On Monday the military warned about threats to the secular constitution.
Mr Gul, whose wife wears a Muslim headscarf, had pledged to respect Turkey's secular institutions.
The headscarf is currently banned from public institutions in Turkey and Mr Gul has said wearing it is a matter of personal choice.
Turkey's PM Erdogan has said there is no "moderate Islam." He is an fundamentalist who calls himself "middle of the road." he has hurled his harshest criticism for the notorious Arab apologist, Bernard Lewis (yes the untouchable Lewis.)
Erdogan to Lewis: You Can't Say Islamic Terrorism Zalman
While participating on a Middle East panel of the Academy of Achievement in Chicago, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, warned against religious definitions of terrorism and specifically objected to the phrases "Islamic terror" and "moderate Islam."
Reacting to Congresswoman Jane Harman's use of 'moderate Islam', Erdogan said, "Turkey is not a country where moderate Islam is sovereign. First of all, the 'moderate Islam' concept is wrong. The word 'Islam' is a simple word -- it is only Islam. If you say 'moderate Islam,' then an alternative is created, and that is 'immoderate Islam.' I cannot accept such a concept as a Muslim. Islam rejects excessivenesses. I am not a radical Muslim. We are Muslims who have found a middle road."
The Muslim world smells blood in the wake of the US weakness under Obama. The US has created a power vacuum, first in Iraq. And now by turning its back on Israel, the entire Middle East will be up for a huge power grab.
The media has been dangerously silent in their reportage of Turkey's IHH, which has both Muslim Brotherhood and Iranian backing. Ahmadinejad wants a Hamas alliance with his Hizbollah puppets.
Here's more on the Hamas linked Turkish group behind the aggression:
IHH, which plays a central role in organizing the flotilla to the Gaza Strip, is a Turkish humanitarian relief fund with a radical Islamic anti-Western orientation. Besides its legitimate philanthropic activities, it supports radical Islamic networks, including Hamas, and at least in the past, even global jihad elements.
1. Prominent among the coalition organizations participating in the aid flotilla scheduled to arrive in the Gaza Strip in the coming days is the Turkish IHH (Insani Yardim Vakfi, IHH, “humanitarian relief fund”). It is a radical Islamic organization which was established in 1992 and formally registered in Istanbul in 1995. It is headed by Bülent Yildirim.

2. IHH has a broad program of important activities in distressed areas. They include sending food and support to orphans, establishing educational institutions, hospitals and clinics, programs for vocational education, supplying medicines, building mosques and preventing the violation of human rights in various Islamic locations throughout the world. In recent years it has begun widening its activities to European countries, in part by establishing branches which bear its name.
3. In practice, besides its legitimate humanitarian activities, IHH supports radical Islamic terrorist networks. In recent years it has prominently supported Hamas (through the Union of Good). In addition, the ITIC has reliable information that in the past IHH provided logistical support and funding to global jihad networks.

IHH Links To Hamas
4. IHH’s orientation is radical-Islamic and anti-American, and it is close to the Muslim Brotherhood (Hamas’ parent movement). IHH supports Hamas and does not hide the connection between them. Hamas also considers its links to IHH and Turkey to be extremely important, and regards Turkey as a target audience for its propaganda network (Palestine-Information, Hamas’ main website, has a Turkish version, and as of the end of 2009, the website of its military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has also appeared in Turkish).
5. In recent years, especially since Hamas took over the Gaza Strip, IHH has supported Hamas’ propaganda campaigns by organizing public support conferences in Turkey. At those conferences, which featured the participation of senior IHH figures, the heads of IHH expressed their support for Hamas and its strategy (including the armed struggle it favors), in defiance of the Palestinian Authority, Hamas’ rival.
6. IHH is a member of the Union of Good, an umbrella organization of more than 50 Islamic funds and foundations around the globe, which channels money into Hamas institutions in the Palestinian Authority-administered territories. As a Union of Good member IHH has connections with other worldwide Islamic funds and foundations which support Hamas. Among other things, the support includes initiating and conducting joint projects whose objectives are to bolster the de facto Hamas administration in the Gaza Strip and Hamas’ civilian infrastructure in Judea and Samaria, which also supports terrorism (the infrastructure is under pressure from the Palestinian Authority security services). IHH, which has become an important factor in global fund-raising for Hamas, transfers significant amounts of money to Hamas institutions in Judea and Samaria, including the Islamic Charitable Society in Hebron and the Al-Tadhamun Charitable Society in Nablus (Hamas’ two central “charitable societies,” both outlawed by Israel).
7. IHH operates widely throughout the Gaza Strip. To promote its activities it opened a branch there, headed by Muhammad Kaya, who recently stated that IHH intended to send other aid flotillas to the Gaza Strip (See below). In January 2008 an IHH delegation met with Ahmed Bahar, a senior Hamas activist who is acting chairman of Hamas’ council in the Gaza Strip. At the meeting the delegation revealed the extent of the aid it had given Hamas in the Gaza Strip during the preceding year and said it intended to double the sum in the future. In January 2009 IHH head Bülent Yildirim met with Khaled Mashaal, chairman of Hamas’ political bureau in Damascus, and Mashaal thanked him for the support of his organization.
