Israel has a long experience of American promises to maintain its qualitative edge, only to see state-of-the-art hardware funneled to the Gulf in impressive quantities. The furor over the second settlement freeze should not obscure the divergence between Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Obama administration over the Iranian nuclear program. In Washington last week, Netanyahu argued that Iran’s march to the bomb cannot be averted by porous economic sanctions; Secretary of Defense Robert Gates replied by reiterating his faith in the sanctions regime. If this divergence is not bridged, Israel will have to weigh unilateral action, though this option too is currently blocked by the Obama administration. Ostensibly the rationale for the president’s position is the desire to give sanctions a chance.

Laura: The developers of the islamic supremacist ground zero mosque continue to rub our noses in 9/11. To add insult to injury, the stealth jihadists have the audacity to apply for the use of our tax dollars for their abomination celebrating the largest muslim massacre of Americans. They applied for a federal 5 million dollar community and cultural enhancement grant. The islamic supremacists will continue to stomp all over us as long as we allow them to get away with it.

Most Israelis and Jews are ignorant of the fact that 1.5 million Jews fought Hitler and Nazism during World War II. Red Army veteran Shalom Scopas defies his 85 years as he dashes about the mini-museum of World War II memorabilia he has created in the basement of his Holon home. His bright blue eyes sparking with pride, he points out rows of medals, sepia snapshots of himself as a dashing young man in his smart Soviet uniform, and letters of gratitude from Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and former president Vladimir Putin. Scopas is one of half a million Soviet Jews who joined the Red Army to fight against the Nazis. Forty percent of these Jewish recruits died in battle, the highest percentage of all the USSR’s ethnic groups. Soviet Jews were not the only ones to join the fight against the Nazis. One and a half million Jews from all over the world fought in World War II, including 150,000 women. A quarter million of these Jewish fighters fell in battle. ... Alan Jacobs: … Sacco believes that the ideal of impartiality, an ostensible aim of American journalism, is “ludicrous,” citing his own rude awakening — that is, his “discovery” that Palestinians were “victims,” “historically wronged.” He admits an indifference to objectivity and a disregard for journalistic standards: no story, it seems, is too baseless for him to report… By Andrew L. Jaffee, netwmd.com All’s I can say is “Oh, Canada!” Our northern neighbor’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper continues to defiantly defend Israel — which is a lot more than I can say for my own joke-for-a-President Obama. Read, watch, listen, and stand with Stephen Harper and Israel: … But when Israel, the only country in the world whose very existence is under attack, is consistently and conspicuously singled out for condemnation, I believe we are morally obligated to take a stand. Demonization, double standards, delegitimization — the three “D’s” — it is the responsibility of us all to stand up to them. … Click here to view the embedded video.
