“There is no other nation in the world that will devote its energies to fostering (and protecting) Jewish culture, the Hebrew language, and our unique religious identity, and to ensure a society where Jews don’t have to compromise their unique identity in order to “fit in” to society.” The ethnic, national, and racial diversity in the Ulpan (intensive Hebrew) class I attended shortly after becoming a citizen of Israel, is a legacy of the cultural diversity and far-flung nature of the Jewish Diaspora: it is said that Jews have come to modern Israel from 103 countries and speak more than 70 different languages. In my class alone, there are Jews from Ethiopia, Peru, Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Russia, Belarus, Moldova, the UK, Italy, Germany, and the U.S. In addition, other nationalities represented in this global melting pot of Israel are Morocco, Yemen, Iran, Algeria, Tunisia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, Libya, Syria, India, Pakistan, Poland,... For those of us who recognize the complicity of both Republicans and Democrats in our economic calamity, it has been satisfying to see the party establishments of each pummeled this election season. But as far as averting the currency crisis I describe in The Dollar Meltdown, the gold market says it’s too little, too late. It’s no surprise that politicians hear only what they want to hear, but the Democrats DollarMeltdown take a new world indoor record for tone-deafness into the election. As the year opened with real unemployment at double-digit levels, all the President and the Democrat establishment could think about was passing Obamacare. They may be proud that they stayed on message, never mind that for most people a health care plan starts with a job and some savings. With polls suggesting Republicans are set to re-take the House, it looks like the Democrats have a glass jaw to go along with that tin ear. And while scattered tea party victories gave the... Laura: It is a natural progression for lauren booth to convert to islam in light of her pro-hamas, pro-jihad and anti-Semitic views. May she suffer the consequences of a miserable life as a subjugated muslim woman. In the not-too-distant future we will be speaking of the islamic republic of Britain anyway. She’s just getting a head start. Lauren Booth Converts to Islam Backspin Lauren Booth, who was named Dishonest Reporter of 2008, has converted to Islam. She follows in the footsteps of Yvonne Ridley, who converted after the Taliban kidnapped her while she covered the war in Afghanistan. Both are vocal critics of Israel, have sailed on Gaza flotillas, and work for Iran’s English-language Press TV, which means they’re on the Iranian government payroll. Bottom line: nothing’s going to change. By Yoel Meltzer, AMERICAN THINKER Despite the ongoing fixation by an assortment of Israeli trendsetters and decision-makers with the concept of land for peace, for the majority of Jews living in Israel, the picture is totally different. Years of terrorist attacks, wars, and missile bombardment following pullouts from Lebanon and Gaza, ongoing menacing threats from Iran, and various international terrorist groups and mounting anti-Semitism throughout the region and the world have caused most Israeli Jews to clearly understand that the establishment of another Arab state west of the Jordan River is nothing short of national suicide. Thus, to continue arguing that such a move by Israel will bring “recognition” and “acceptance” — a claim which has no historical anchor, since Israel is nearly always criticized and condemned regardless of what it does or doesn’t do — is not only spurious, but illogical, since no sane country would crave acceptance... T. Belman. On the one hand, Israel negotiates resolutions such as 242 and 1701 or the terms of the Roadmap or the disengagement letter from Bush, to the best of her ability. Then their leaders tell Israelis what a wonderful deal they got. Israelis buy into it thinking they have a measure of protection. But the truth of the matter is, they don’t. For instance, it has always been believed that all final status issues are to negotiated and that failing an aceptable agreement, Israel can always say no. In fact Oslo II provided “Neither Party shall be deemed, by virtue of having entered into this Agreement, to have renounced or waived any of its existing rights, claims. or positions.” The problem is the US is there to prevent our freedom to negotiate. They weigh in on the side of the Arabs and keep limiting our options. Nevertheless, Israel must insist on negotiatios without pre-conditions which means, if she doesn’t like the deal she can walk. Catholic Cleric: Jesus Cancelled Biblical ‘Chosen People’ by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu,INN The Creator’s promise in the Bible that the Promised Land belongs to the Jewish People is no longer valid, a Catholic synod declared. An American archbishop at the Synod explained Saturday that the promise of the Creator was “abolished by the presence of Christ.” In a decision that is bound to set off a furious reaction from many Jewish leaders, the synod concluded that “recourse to theological and biblical positions which use the Word of G-d to wrongly justify injustices is not acceptable.” The Catholic church in recent years has... Geert writes: “Jordan is the only Palestinian state there will ever be. Judea/Samaria are Israel, so the more settlements the better.” KLEIN VERZET The current state is that a backup panel of Judges dismissed the primary panel of Judges after one of Wilders’ expert witnesses (Prof Hans Jansen who is a thorough great guy to spend an evening with) published a blog post about one of the Judges. This dismissal of Judges is very rare in Holland I’m told. Here is the story of the dinner party that led to the collapse of the trial written in the first person by Jansen. They will need to have a new trial with new judges now. This story is remarkable in so many ways: Prof Jansen asking for an assurance that he wouldn’t be prosecuted for speaking at a private dinner party is so chilling. Needless to say outside Holland this has received almost no coverage. (My highlights in Bold) JUDGE SCHALKEN I was invited for dinner on... Plans to clean up and develop the Gan Hamelech, the King’s Garden, area outside the Old City of Jerusalem – also known as Al Bustan – will continue without interruption, despite ongoing rioting by Arabs opposed to the development, says Edna Freidman, who holds the Israeli Heritage portfolio in the Jerusalem Municipality. She is a graduate of the scholastically acclaimed Horev Ulpena in Jerusalem, holds an M.A. degree in Chemistry from Hebrew University and is a member of the Bayit Hayehudi (formerly NRP) party and member of Emunah, the Religious National Women’s Organization. “Five years from now we expect the neighborhood to look much different, and we believe all residents of Jerusalem – including those living in the area slated for renewal – as well as all Israelis, will benefit,” she says. Questions on the Impartiality of the U.N. Tomuschat Committee A Report by UN Watch EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The U.N. Human Rights Council’s newly-renewed committee to enforce the Goldstone Report, headed by German law professor Christian Tomuschat, has declared Israel to be in breach of a duty to investigate “those who designed, planned, ordered and oversaw ‘Operation Cast Lead’,” and the “serious allegations” that “officials at the highest levels were complicit in violations.” Specifically, the committee cited the name of Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni, who served as foreign minister during the 2009 war with Hamas. As soon as the Tomuschat Committee released its first report in September 2010, Palestinian organizations, echoed by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, called for the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, and prosecutors worldwide, to intervene. This latest U.N.-inspired...Israel: Out of Many, One (Or, what is the purpose of Luxembourg?)
