Laura: Mayor Bloomberg was on a local radio show and said that those who oppose the ground zero mosque should be “ashamed of themselves”. He also said that he spoke to families of victims who he claimed said they support the mosque. While there may be some families who feel that way, the overwhelming majority of 9/11 families oppose the mosque. He then said our troops are fighting for religious freedom. But our troops are fighting against the jihadists that imam rauf represents. Rauf has advocated for sharia law which is the antithesis of what America stands for. This proposed mosque does not represent religious freedom, but rather an islamic triumph over America. And most astonishingly of all, Bloomberg said HE DOESN’T CARE WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM! Unbelievable! In other words, it can be coming directly from al qaeda and it wouldn’t matter to Bloomberg apparently. How sickening that we are losing soldiers abroad fighting islamic jihadis while we give... Quote for the Week “Happiness doesn’t just happen you have to create it” Author unknown.

May you live to be 120. · The Bank of Israel’s foreign currency... Dershowitz still doesn’t get it! Dershowitz remains part of the Jewish problem and certainly has no solutions. G-d save us from these blind insensitive liberal fascists before they bring another hell on all of us. Yamit [Editor’s note: Alan Dershowitz submitted an article to Frontpagemag.com criticizing the Anti-Defamation League’s opposition to the plans for a mosque to be built at Ground Zero. We decided to run the piece with a rebuttal by Victor Davis Hanson. An extra round between the two follows. The ADL’s decision to oppose the building of a 13 story Muslim center two blocks from Ground Zero is inconsistent with its mission. The ADL has a long and distinguished history of opposing bigotry, supporting multiculturalism and advocating tolerance. Though it began as an organization dedicated to combating anti-Semitism, it has become one of the most potent forces against all forms of... The worst kind of liar is the one who lies to himself. On a national level that could be catastrophic. Yamit Israel blames U.S., France for arming Lebanon Don’t look to the MSM to give you the truth about this week’s ambush of IDF reservists. Despite the careful “he said … she said” approach of the mainstream news media about the clash along the Lebanese-Israeli border this week, events are quite clear: Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were deliberately ambushed by Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). In an outdoor press conference held at a lookout point above the Lebanese border where the incident occurred, Ilan Diksteyn, the deputy commander of the Israeli brigade, explained what happened. The IDF had notified the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon... T.Belman. All you need to know is that the US has spent over $1 billion to train and armthe Lebanese army and the Palestinian Army. While they say otherwise, I believe that the US is purposely strengthening Israel’s enemy so that it won’t be so easy to defeat them By Caroline B. Glick, JewishWorldReview It wasn’t a US Army sniper who killed IDF Lt. Col. Dov Harari and seriously wounded Capt. Ezra Lakia on Tuesday. But the Lebanese Armed Forces sniper who shot them owes a great deal to the generous support the LAF has received from America. For the past five years, the LAF has been the second largest recipient of US military assistance per capita after Israel. A State Department press release from late 2008 noted that between 2006 and 2008, the LAF received ten million rounds of ammunition, Humvees, spare parts for Lebanese attack helicopters, vehicles for its internal security forces “and the same frontline weapons that US military troops are currently using,... A dangerous global shift is taking place in terms of Israel’s standing in the world at large which could have profoundly destabilizing implications for the Middle East. by Dore Gold Looking at recent developments, there is a dangerous global shift occurring with respect to Israel’s international standing, which must be urgently addressed. Over the last decade, former Israeli officers have been threatened with arrest for alleged war crimes if they visit certain European countries. From Norway to the UK, there is increasing talk of boycotts against Israeli universities. There is more talk about trade sanctions, as well. European media outlets from France-2 to the BBC spread complete fabrications about Israeli behavior, like the famous case of the 2001 killing of the boy Muhammad al-Dura, that often come from politicized reporters and by agenda-driven non-governmental organizations. The imbalanced conclusions adopted in the report by Justice Richard Goldstone for the UN Human Rights... by Baruch Gordon, INN Prof. Eugene Rosenberg and Prof. Eliora Ron of Tel Aviv University’s (TAU) Department of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology are using naturally occurring oil-munching bacteria, grown at the TAU lab, to clean the hard-to-reach oil pockets that occur when oil mixes with sand and organic matter on beaches and forms a thin layer on the Gulf’s precious waterways. Kagan’s appointment means that for the first time, the nine-member US Supreme Court will have three women. Kagan was preceded in the court by Justices Sonia Sotomayor, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Laura: Here are some excellent articles opposing the ground zero mosque abomination. Those that support it, including the meshuga mayor and newspaper editors, recite imam rauf’s talking points. How gullible can anyone be to believe this project is about outreach just because rauf says so? While proclaiming he believes in religious tolerance to Americans, rauf tells his fellow muslims in Arabic that he opposes interfaith dialogue. He has also blamed America for 9/11, has refused to admit hamas is a terrorist group, he is tied to terror groups, advocates for sharia law and lied about where he is receiving the money for the Cordoba Initiative, which is actually coming from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and who knows where else. In fact 80% of mosques in America are funded by Saudi Arabia. It would take very little effort to look into rauf’s background, as numerous bloggers have done, and discover that imam rauf is an islamic supremacist, not...

How Israeli Technology Can Help Clean Gulf Oil Spill
It’s taken millions of dollars to cap it, and it could take billions more to clean it up. BP’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is perhaps the environmental catastrophe of the century. But Tel Aviv University has a solution that may help remedy the remaining oil residue through a natural, biological process.
“It’s worked to clean up an oil spill on the coast of Haifa, Israel, so we’ve already got good evidence it could work in Florida too,” says Prof. Ron. Details of their decades of research appear in The Handbook of Hydrocarbon and Lipid Microbiology, published this year...Kagan Approved to US Supreme Court
The US Senate approved on Thursday the nomination of Justice Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court by a vote of 63-37. Kagan, who is Jewish, is the former dean of Harvard Law school dean and the fourth female justice in US history. She was nominated by President Barack Obama.
Kagan’s nomination was harshly criticized by the Rabbinical Alliance of America, which represents 850 Orthodox Rabbis. In a statement issued on behalf of the Alliance, Rabbi Yehuda Levin said at the end of June: “Ms. Kagan is non-kosher – not fit to serve on the Supreme Court or any other court. It is clear from Ms. Kagan’s record on issues such as abortion-on-demand, partial-birth-abortion, the radical homosexual and lesbian agenda, the ‘supremacy’ of the anti-family...The Travesty of a Mosque Near Ground Zero
