Laura: Another brilliant piece by the Sultan Knish. While the leftist establishment believes it is bigoted to oppose a mosque near the site where thousands of Americans were slaughtered by muslims, it endorses the racist arab demand that Jews shall be forbidden to live amongst them. The war being waged against us by muslims will continue as long as the free world continues to play the role of dhimmi and indulges islamic supremacist demands. For years the west has indulged the muslim double standard that they are to be given complete freedom and even preferential treatment in infidel majority countries while muslim majority countries are allowed to discriminate against and oppress their non-muslim populations without any objections from the west. According to liberals, it isn’t muslim incitement to hatred, violence and genocide against Jews, hamas missiles or suicide bombers that presents an obstacle to peace, but rather a Jewish... Christopher Hitchens, one of the most important journalists in the English-speaking world, needs to take a long, hard look at Palestinian history and at the nature, behavior and aims of the Palestinian national movement. Christopher Hitchens, one of the most important journalists in the English-speaking world (a columnist for Vanity Fair, a contributing editor to The Atlantic), is of two minds about the Islamic Arab world. Or, rather, for him it is divided in two – the Palestinians and all the rest About “the rest,” he is fairly clear (as in his just-published book, “Hitch-22: A Memoir): It is a world riddled by corruption, violence and brutal autocracy, gradually falling into the grip of a nihilistic or medieval Islamism that is challenging the core values of the West – liberalism, democracy, tolerance and equal rights for women, homosexuals and ethnic minorities. Hitchens broke ranks with his leftist colleagues (he had long written... Yamit Most of us already knew Arafat gave the green light without Hamas confirming it but they did anyway so good for them, for what it’s worth. Hamas Reveals Nobel Lauret, Arafat, Had Blood On His Hands, Approved Hamas and Fatah Terror in Oslo War My favorite line from this story is this one, “It was the first time Hamas has stated that Arafat, who like his successor was championed by the American government as Israel’s ‘peace partner,’ gave instructions to Hamas to break two years of relative quiet and launch what evolved into a decade of suicide bombings and deadly rocket attacks.” A very true, albeit subtle, commentary upon the character of Arafat and his murderous successor, Abbas. If the world could just get past its hatred of Jews, they would soon realize that it isn’t Israel that is an “obstacle to peace.” Every time Israel gives even a little bit, it increases the violence and murder. We were right to be suspicious of Arafat... Jewish peace or Arab peace initiative? Why doesn’t Israel accept the Arab peace initiative? It offers Israel normalization with all Arab states (though not Iran) in exchange for returning to the 1967 borders, Jerusalem, and a solution to the refugee problem. That’s basically what the Israeli government agreed to; most Israelis accept the solution except for the partitioning of Jerusalem. The differences are mundane: the Saudis want full return to the 1967 borders while Israel offered to exchange settlement blocs for similar tracts of empty land, and the Palestinians agreed. The peace plan does not require Israel to accept the refugees, just to find a solution: presumably, compensation will do, and the US and EU would be happy to foot the bill for resettling the refugees in Palestine. The issue of Jerusalem is a matter of names. What is the Jerusalem which Jews want for our eternal capital? The sprawling Arab neighborhoods of “East Jerusalem” are not... By Ted Belman With all the talk about the freeze, announced or de facto, I decided to write an article on the genesis of the freeze thinking it began with the Mitchell Report in the early nineties. Prof Barry Rubin set me straight and advised that in 1993 Israel agreed or at least announced, a freeze. She would not build new settlements but would do infilling of existing settlements. My research led me to this very important resource, Statements on American Policy toward Settlements by U.S. Government Officials – 1968-2009 Introduction The policy of all Israeli governments since 1967 of settling Israeli citizens in the territories Israel occupied in the 1967 war is regarded by most governments as a violation of international law defined by the “Fourth Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.” In 2004, the International Court of Justice confirmed this in an advisory opinion.The United States supported the applicability of the... • T. Belman. Yesterday I toured east Jerusalem with a new group Keep Jerusalem. Please read all about them. Their mission is to educated the public of the multitude of reasons for not dividing Jerusalem, a la Olmert or Barak, and why division is a stupid and dangerous idea. I have been invited to work with them to prevent this from happening. In the evening Danny Danon spoke with us about the peace process and Bibi. Apparantly the coalition is strong enough to keep Bibi in check but there is no room for complacency. The US government is pushing for the division of Jerusalem as recommended by Olmert or Barak. A response to former prime minister Ehud Olmert from a former Israeli ambassador to the UN. Today, he says, Israel must reestablish that red line. Right after the War of Independence, prime minister David Ben-Gurion faced inexorably difficult pressures over the future of Jerusalem. The UN planned to press its case for internationalization. Its grounds were... Belman. Cathy Shaidle is a friend of mine and a great fighter. I have a similar story to tell. Yesterday I was contacted by a journaluist I know who wanted me to comment on an article he wrote about Islam and moderates etc which was just published by a prominent right wing academic internet journal. I told him I didn’t like the article because it was confusing. On the one hand he seemed to be making the case against Islam and on the other hand he was being generous to it. I gave him all the sentances I didn’t like. He told me that all those sentences were inserted at the request of the editor or the piece wouldn’t be published. By Cathy Shaidle, News Real Blog They don’t make ‘em like Rory Leishman anymore. He’s one of those old fashioned newsmen you only see in black and white movies these days. As a rare non-lefty Canadian journalist, he’s fought all the good fights, particularly against activist judges. Leishman was also battling our censorious,...
