Demolition of Jewish House

Laura: The Israeli government traumatizes Jewish families for the “crime” of living in Judea and Samaria. Here we see a Jewish home being demolished in the middle of the night with no prior warning. But as far as the left is concerned, the human rights of Jews do not matter. Actual ethnic cleansing and apartheid when its being done against Jews is not only acceptable but demanded by the left.


The McCarthyism Syndrome

I should post more articles by Steven Plaut. He is a tireless worker for Israel. He is Israel’s David Horowitz. In this article he describes the recent Bill passed in the Knesset as an act of resistance. The Left describes it as McCarthyism. Plaut started his article by picturing a similar threat to America during WWI to which Israel is now exposed. and imagined the reaction to a similar Bill being passed by both houses.

A similar situation actually happened after the war under the auspices of the House Committee on Un-American Activities headed by Joseph McCarthy. The primary difference was that the left was much weaker then and was cowed into silence. The main fault of the hearings was that people were accused and convicted without the due process of law. It was a witch hunt. At that time America was threated by a Fifth Column of Communists within and the USSR without.

Twenty years later America lost the war in Vietnam and the Vietnam Syndrome was born. By virtue of such...

UK More Interested in Islam, 100,000 Have Converted

by Maayana Miskin, INN

A study conducted by Swansea University for the British group Faith Matters has found that UK citizens are increasingly interested in Islam, with the number of converts to Islam nearly doubling in 10 years. An estimated total of 100,000 have converted to Islam, 5,200 of them in 2010.

In 2001, it was estimated that 60,000 British citizens had converted to Islam.

Of the most recent converts, two-thirds are women. Most are white and native to Britain. The average age of new converts is 27.

One in four believe there is a “natural conflict” between being devoutly Muslim and being a British citizen. More than half said they had met with a negative response from family regarding their conversion.

When asked what they believe to be the negative aspects of British society, the converts cited alcohol consumption, “sexual permissiveness,” and “unrestrained consumerism.”

Similar studies in France and Germany found that approximately 4,000 people convert to...

The Invention of MidEast Peace

by Italian MP Fiamma Nirenstein,INN

[Sent to INN by MP Nirestein, published in Italian on Il Giornale]

How distant is the Middle East, and how fuzzy its image, an image which we tirelessly hope will give life to that dream of peace that inevitably evaporates again and again… Rather than scrutinizing it from afar, we prefer to picture a scenario in which everyone will, in the end, want peace, in which the unyielding extremism of the Middle East is only a fantasy dictated by fear, and the menace it emanates a mere exaggeration.

This springs from the desire to be left in peace, the same syndrome that convinces us to consider figures like Tarik Ramadan as a “moderate Islamic”, or to class as a dialogue between religions a situation in which, behind the scenes in London, the Islamic courts are gaining ground. We find it engaging that the most popular name in certain countries of the Old Continent is now Mohammed, or that the burqa is permitted in the name of multiculturalism, or we...

Lebanon is claiming our gas field

Next Flashpoint in Mideast Could Be Gas Fields Off Mediterranean Coast Dispute With Lebanon Could Be Ignited

By BENNY AVNI, NY Sun

UNITED NATIONS – The next flashpoint in the Middle East could be the gas fields off Israel’s Mediterranean coast, where the discovery of large cashes of natural gas is raising homes that Israel could soon become energy-self-sufficient but where a dispute with Lebanon could be ignited.

The Iran-influenced Beirut government is threatening to defend its maritime “rights” and is complaining about Israel’s explorations. Lebanon’s appeals for international intervention begun last summer, immediately after Israel’s off shore gas explorations showed signs of positive results. Now that years of exploration have yielded what some energy experts estimate to be the world’s largest deepwater gas discovery in a decade, Beirut is raising the tone of its demands.

Lebanon’s foreign minister, Ali Shami, in a letter to Secretary General Ban,...

Jewish legal rights to Judea and Samaria

By Ted Belman

I attended a lecture two years ago by Jacques Gauthier, a Canadian Lawyer who just received his PhD after twenty years of research on the legal status of Jerusalem and the writing of a dissertation of some 1300 pages with 3000 footnotes. He had to present his thesis to a panel of two leading international lawyers and one world famous Jewish historian. The reason for so many footnotes was to enable him to defend his thesis from intense attack by one of the lawyers who happened to be Jewish anti-Zionist and who had represented the PA on numerous occasions. Gauthier is not Jewish.

Here’s what he said in point form,

1. The Balfour Declaration of 1917 started the whole process but it didn?t create international legal rights.

2. The San Remo decision made on 25 April 1920, incorporated the Balfour Declaration of 1917[2] and Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations. It was the basic decision upon which the Mandate for Palestine was constructed. While the...

Christ Killing Nazis ==> Christ Killing “Muslims”

Turn anti-Semitic “Christ Killer” propaganda against Nazis and militant “Muslims”
by Bill Levinson

We have previously cited militant “Islamic” propaganda that depicts Jews as the murderers of Jesus. In “Crucified Palestine,” Jews with exaggerated Semitic features congregate around the base of a cross to wallow in the blood of a Palestinian woman. In “Please do not kill Him again,” an Israeli soldier with bloody hands stands ready to bayonet Jesus in his mother’s arms. Noting that modern Israel is probably the only country in the Middle East in which Jesus would NOT be hanged, shot, stoned to death, or nailed to a cross, we have encouraged Israel’s supporters and other defenders of Civilization to turn this hateful imagery on its originators.

It turns out, however, that the innovative Polish people were more than 65 years ahead of us as shown by this World War II anti-Nazi cartoon, in which “Christ killing...
