Laura: The Obama administration wants American engagement with the UN as well as to share American foreign policy decisions with a UN which has been hijacked by the most depraved regimes on earth. The agenda of the UN is controlled by the block of islamic and third world sharia terror states and dictatorships. And a western world which lacks any moral courage and clarity goes along with the abominable charade to keep the oil flowing and not anger the jihadists. So we have a situation where Israeli self-defense and koran burning result in emergency UN sessions while gang rapes of children and elderly women in Africa are virtually ignored. There is no reason why the UN should continue to exist and certainly no reason American taxpayer dollars should be used to fund an institution which represents the antithesis of our American values of liberty and individual rights and is used to support the global jihad and the enforcement of sharia law. Dayan for all his faults would never have given I believe what Rabin did and Even if Rabin had had second thoughts both he and Dayan did place security of the state above all else. BB? Has not shown that he is cut from the same cloth. Can anyone imagine BB giving an OK for Entebbe? Contrary to leftist Israeli myths Rabin was elected as Mr. Security and by many right wing voters, not for what the left idolizes about him, OSLO!

Jaffee, netwmd.com National Public Radio’s (NPR) firing of Juan Williams had less to do with his (benign) remarks about Muslims on airliners, but more about finding a pretext to dump him. Just yesterday, NPR CEO Vivian Schiller stooped to name-calling against Williams, stating, “that whatever feelings Williams has about Muslims should be between him and ‘his psychiatrist or his publicist — take your pick’.” This belies the deep resentment NPR held against Williams for his “controversial” views. Many at NPR probably considered Williams an “Uncle Tom,” just as the same left-wing epithets were tossed at great minds like Condi Rice and Colin Colin Powell. Williams’ Muslim remarks were just a pretext for NPR to do what it’s wanted to do for a long time: Fire Williams and derive perverse pleasure from it. Here’s Williams being “controversial,” speaking the truth, caring for his own... Compliments of Anglo Raannana Real Estate Quote for the Week “You go to the Middle East if you´re looking for oil and you wouldn´t even stop in Israel, but if you´re looking for brains, energy and integrity, Israel is the place to be.” Warren Buffet – (Financial Wizard and Entrepreneur Extraordinaire) * Beat this if you can! We’ve mentioned that Israel is a hi-tech super power and that includes such weird and wonderful things as nano-tech, bio-tech, clean-tech etc. and when the achievements in these areas, in this tiny country, with a total population smaller than that of Greater London are as amazing as they are then you tend to get a little blas?. But even we were mightily impressed by the following: There’s an organization called GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and it’s all about cellular phone technology. Well, said organization presents awards to the industry that are held in very high regard – the awards... By David Isaac, Shmuel Katz Blog Halevi believes that what the West wants, or even cares about, is Israel’s good behavior. In assuming this, he entirely misreads the West’s motives. Israel’s ability to prove that its pursuit of peace is genuine is irrelevant to the West’s calculations. Western policy, as Shmuel Katz writes, is “in fact governed by the principle of not ‘infuriating the Arabs,’ of appeasing and fawning upon them, of encouraging them to continue the flow of... By Stephen Brown, FrontPageMag “U.S. State Department insiders say that U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice [2] not only didn’t campaign for Canada’s election but instructed American diplomats to not get involved in the weeks leading up to the heated contest,” Grenell reported on a Foxnews website. By Ted Belman In 1993 Israel signed the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements which was just that. It began, The Government of the State of Israel and the P.L.O. team (in the Jordanian-Palestinian delegation to the Middle East Peace Conference) (the “Palestinian Delegation”), representing the Palestinian people, agree that it is time to put an end to decades of confrontation and conflict, recognize their mutual legitimate and political rights, and strive to live in peaceful coexistence and mutual dignity and security and achieve a just, lasting and comprehensive peace settlement and historic reconciliation through the agreed political process. and provided Under the DOP, the permanent status will take effect 5 years after the implementation of the Gaza-Jericho agreement, namely May 1999. The principles laid out were antithetical to the provisions... LEO RENNET WRITES TO EDITORS OF THE NEW YORK TIMES: Palestinian officials increasingly threaten to abort negotiations with Israel for a two-state solution and instead are toying with the idea of seeking international endorsement of a unilateral declaration of statehood in Gaza, the West Bank and all of East Jerusalem, including the Old City with all its Jewish, Muslim and Christian shrines. This is obviously important news and should be reported, along with whether such a Palestinian strategy shift is merely bluff, and, if not, whether it would be a quixotic venture leading nowhere. Plus of course, what this would mean for President Obama’s insistence that only direct talks can lead to a real peace and why his attempts to get the parties to resume negotiations seem to be going nowhere. But that’s not exactly how Ethan Bronner, the Times Jerusalem bureau chief, reports this important development in a lengthy Oct. 21 article, (“Palestinians Shift Focus In... By Andrew L. Jaffee, netwmd.com I tell ya,’ when I’m waiting for, boarding, or riding on a good ole jet liner, I get nervous when I see Vikings on board — you know, with their battle axes, swords, and especially those horned helmets. And, ya’ know, some of them have names like, “Skull-splitter.” I guess I’ll have to take flak from the local Scandinavian community, but hey, that’s how I feel. Note the widely acclaimed animated hit, “The Secret of Kells,” didn’t portray Vikings in a positive light as Vikings were the terrorists of their era. Now-former National Public Radio (NPR) commentator Juan Williams similarly spoke from the heart: … Just today, NPR’s Juan Williams was fired for honestly expressing himself on the “Muslim” issue on Monday’s O’Reilly Factor. “Look, Bill, I’m not a bigot.

Ya’alon was the keynote speaker at the Night to Honour Israel – Canadians Inscribe the Bible event, which was also hosted by B’nai Brith Canada and Christians United for Israel. “While we continue to pursue our efforts for peace, Iran continues to pursue nuclear weapons,” Ya’alon said. “What are the implications of an Iran that can produce nuclear weapons? First and foremost, this is a very severe threat to Israel and we are not going to allow it…. Mr. Ahmadinejad and his regime must face a dilemma: the bomb or survival.”

Dayan In Retrospect, Was Far To The Right Of Netanyahu
Although we gave the world monotheism, we are a nation obsessively searching for idols. We sculpt some, raise them on pedestals, confer sanctity upon them and declare their worship mandatory. In other idols we seek imperfections, poke at them, dig at the surface and deepen the blemishes so we may be justified in smiting the ghastliness.NPR CEO stoops to calling Juan Williams names; NPR was gunning for Juan for a long time

Why The West Presses Israel
“There is good reason why the Israeli government should heed Defense Minister Barak’s advice and extend a settlement freeze. If nothing else, a freeze would prove that the obstacle to Middle East agreement isn’t the settlements … but the more basic refusal of the Palestinian leadership to accept the legitimacy of Jewish sovereignty over any part of the land.” So writes Yossi Klein Halevi, a fellow at Jerusalem’s Shalom Hartman Institute, in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed.Abandoning our Closest Allies
A former official with the U.S. delegation to the U.N. revealed recently a major reason why Canada lost its bid last week to gain a seat on the Security Council [1]. Richard Grenell, a former press officer, said the American delegation deliberately sat on its hands during the run up to the vote that ended in a defeat for a staunch ally of Israel and America’s closest neighbour.
