Delegitimization Goes Global
Why have nations gathered and kingdoms think vain things? Psalm #2
Never before in the history of the world has one nation been the target of a global delegitimization campaign such as is ongoing against the tiny nation of Israel. The torrent of invective, misrepresentation and egregious falsehoods directed against Israel’s Jewish inhabitants and national and international policies knows no comparison, except perhaps existed in the narrow confines of 20th century Nazi Germany.
The effectiveness of today’s shock and awe campaign is due primarily to two reasons. First, today’s communication technology has many venues which together create an inescapable, ubiquitous global presence. Nowhere and almost no one on Planet Earth is not bombarded messages multiple times a day by its message.
Secondly,...
NATO Missile Shield to be Based in Turkey
Laura: Turkey should be treated like the enemy it has become and kicked out of NATO. It’s infuriating that a missile shield is going to be based in turkey and controlled by it even as it has turned on Israel and the west and aligned itself with Iran, syria, hamas and hezbollah. The more dangerous an enemy a country becomes, the more Obama caters to it. It pays to be an enemy of America and Israel under the obama administration.
US security guarantees for Israel worthless when Turkey controls missile shield
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis November 21, 2010,
By bowing to Ankara’s demand to omit Iran, Syria and their ballistic missiles as a threat from the NATO agreement to establish a missile shield base in Turkey, President Barak Obama has devalued any US security guarantees offered Israel – as well as negating the facility’s avowed purpose. The missile shield and its location in Europe were conceived in the first place for detecting and...
Does the Freeze-Deal Make Sense?
If the uprooting of Jewish communities advances peace, why would the uprooting of Arab communities undermine peace?!
The call for uprooting Arabs is immoral; Isn’t the uprooting of Jews just as immoral?!
Why did the Arab-Israel wars erupt...
Palin can run on her record and win
Jedediah Bila replies to Mona Charen’s “Why Sarah Palin Shouldn’t Run”
In a National Review Online column on November 19, Mona Charen provided an explanation of why she believes Sarah Palin shouldn’t run for President. She argued that after the 2008 campaign, Palin “quit her job as governor after two and a half years…and seemed to chase money and empty celebrity.” She asserted that “Palin seems consumed and obsessed” by the media, labeled Palin’s new TLC show, Sarah Palin’s Alaska, a “cheesy entrant in the reality-show genre,” and took issue with the fact that Sarah and Todd sit in the Dancing with the Stars audience “cheering on their unwed-mother daughter.” She opined that Palin’s “endorsement of Christine O’Donnell was irresponsible and damaging” and suggested that “She would be terrific as a talk-show host — the new Oprah.”Netanyahu vows three red lines
Though Netanyahu had summoned 13 Knesset members, only eight showed up, and many said he had reiterated old arguments.
The prime minister presented the MKs with three principles from which he would refuse to stray under US pressure. He said he would reject any additional freeze on settlements, demand that the US veto a Palestinian unilateral declaration of statehood at the UN, and stress that no agreement will be pressed upon Israel at the end of the 90-day moratorium on construction.
Shavit: “The loony Right is driving us off a cliff”
Let us for the moment forget that we are being asked to cede the promised land.
Shavit argues that Israel should cut a deal, not knowing what that deal will be in terms of settlement blocs we get to keep and whether they accept no right of return to Israel. Obviously, even Kadima and Labor will draw some lines perhaps killing a deal. He argues that it is better to find out how onerous it will be so that we can decide.
Remember when the Saudi Plan was first announced the incentive was a peace agreement with all Arab countries and the normalization of relations. Nobody talks about that now. So long as Syria does’t deal there will be no hope of that.
The Right is not monolithic. Some want all the land. Some want only Area “C”. Some want to minimize the number of Israelis we will have to uproot. Some don’t want to divide Jerusalem. The more we get than what is offered, the more on the right who will accept it. The cost of trying to minimize our losses, is...
lies, lies and damned lies….

U.S. Officials: What Freeze Commitments?
United States officials are unfamiliar with the commitments America is allegedly offering Israel in exchange for a ban on Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria, says investigative journalist David Bedein. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has told his ministers, and the Israeli public, that the U.S. has promised not to pressure Israel for any additional ban on construction in the future in exchange for a three-month building freeze now.
Bedein was in the U.S. last week and met with senior White House officials. He reports that he was surprised to hear them deny the promises reported by Netanyahu. The officials said they had heard of the alleged American commitments in the Israeli media but had not received confirmation from the...
More religious women choose the IDF
Yossi Yehoshua, INN
In Israel Defense Forces communications lingo, each female soldier is called a “skirt”. But recently, when talking about skirts in the field, the code doesn’t necessarily have the same old meaning: More and more religious women, some already married, are passing up on national service and choosing to enlist in the IDF.
The IDF has avoided taking official steps to promote the issue in order to prevent confrontations with rabbis in religious high schools. In a very hush hush manner, without creating any fuss or antagonism, these young women are enlisting in large numbers, becoming pioneers in units which never before included religious women: Air force, artillery and tank corps instructors, IDF command courses and more.
