The UN’s Tolerance of Anti-Semitism

Laura: It’s way past time to end American taxpayer support for the UN. It has devolved into a cesspool which not only tolerates anti-Semitic hate speech, but applauds and celebrates the dictators and despots making these hideous speeches. And Europe lacks any moral compass that their diplomats have to figure out what actually constitutes anti-Semitic hate speech before walking out.

How much anti-Semitism is too much?

By ANNE BAYEFSKY, JPost

Recent incidents at the United Nations indicate that most UN diplomats do not know where to draw the line, letting hate speeches drag on without walking out.

Recent WikiLeaks cables reveal that diplomats at the UN are haunted by a thorny question: How much UN-driven anti-Semitism is too much? The original UN was built on the ashes of the Jewish people and owes its human rights foundations to the victims of the Holocaust. At today’s UN, we have now learned, diplomats hunker down near the General Assembly hall “listening outside with...

National Jewish Democratic Council Bleats for Gun Control

National Judenrat Democratic Kapo (NJDC) ghouls use Gabrielle Giffords’ blood to advance political agenda
by Bill Levinson

The National Jewish Democratic Council, which is about as Jewish as the Westboro Baptist Church is Christian, required less than 72 hours to seek political profit from the mindless crime that was committed against Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others. NJDC’s new leader David A. Harris eagerly dipped his hands into the blood of the victims to demonstrate NJDC’s ignorance, dishonesty, or both with regard to the Second Amendment.

    As anyone who has ever fired a weapon at a cardboard target senses deep down, and as any well-trained law enforcement officer knows of a certainty, there is a tremendous, vast difference between knowing how to hold and shoot a handgun and knowing how to use that weapon successfully to defend yourself and others in a high-pressure, life-or-death situation as law enforcement officers train and prepare to do.

Labour is splitting

By Ted Belman

Ehud Barak is asking for permission to split the Labour Party and for recognition of his new Party of four seats. He complains Labour Party has moved too far left. He says his new Party will be centric, Hey I thought that’s where Kadima says they are. Perhaps Barak’s new party will join Kadima in the next election cycle.

If he gets the required approval, the coalition will be reduced from 75 seats to 64 seats. Labour got five cabinet posts for their 15 seats. How many will they get for their four seats? Its time to invite the National Union Party which has four seats into the coalition.

No doubt, Labour’s breakup strengthens Israel Beiteinu’s position in the Coalition.


The UNRWA: Perpetuator of Conflict

By Sybil Ottenstein, Campus Coordinator, American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise (AICE)

Fellow Americans, do you have any idea where and to whom your tax money goes in the Palestinian territories? Proven to distort international regulations regarding the definition of refugees and employ self-proclaimed Hamas affiliates, the 60-year-old United National Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) is yet again asking its largest donor, the United States, for more funding and political support. American support to the UNRWA not only directly contradicts U.S. policy, but also has become a powerful tool in squashing progress within the Palestinian community.

The UNRWA was created under the jurisdiction of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It is the only agency assigned the unique responsibility of solely aiding the Palestinian population, as opposed to the UNHCR, which is dedicated to aiding all refugees in the world.

While the UNRWA was...

National “Jewish” “Democratic” Council Condemns Palin’s “Blood Libel” Accusation

National Jewish Democratic Council previously enabled MoveOn.org-hosted anti-Semitic blood libel
by Bill Levinson

It comes as no surprise that the National “Jewish” “Democratic” Council has prostituted its purportedly Jewish identity to attack Sarah Palin for entirely partisan purposes, and that David A. Harris’ lack of integrity is matched only by that of former NJDC leader Ira Forman. We remind our readers that Forman used NJDC’s nominally Jewish identity to whitewash MoveOn.org’s sponsorship of the most vicious imaginable hate speech against Jews and others, much as Jewish kapos (concentration camp trustees) of the Second World War told other Jews that the cattle cars were going to take them to nice country resorts instead of concentration camps. The difference is that the kapos, unlike Forman, often had guns to their heads (literally) and would have been killed had they not cooperated with vicious anti-Semites. Forman’s NJDC...

Judgment at Nuremberg for European Speech Code Enforcers

by Bill Levinson

Has Militant Islam Suborned European Judges, Prosecutors, and Legislators? describes Europe’s enactment of legally enforceable speech codes whose purpose is to punish any criticism, including truthful criticism, of militant “Islam.”

Judgment at Nuremberg starring Spencer Tracy is about the Nuremberg trials, not of prominent Nazi war criminals who were later hanged for their crimes, but of German judges who condemned and sentenced people for actions that were crimes under the letter of Nazi-enacted laws. The prosecutors argued successfully that the judges should not have lent their authority to the enforcement of laws that, even though totally legitimate under the German Reich, were clearly wrong under the standards of common human decency.

“Herr Janning, it came to that the first time you sentenced a man to death you knew to be innocent.” (starts at about 7:45). Or to put it another way,...
