Israel, a light unto the nations
By Ted Belman
YOU WON’T BELIEVE YOUR EYES
An amazing, heartwarming story of triumph of the human spirit in Haiti, and of hope for the handicapped, everywhere. On January 12, 2010, the earthquake that devastated Haiti left George, a professional dancer, with an amputated leg, and severe injuries in his remaining one. Now it seemed that his career was over, and that his life would never be the same. But then George met with the Israeli experts operating a rehabilitation project in post-quake Haiti.
Watch 28-year-old George one year later, following his intensive
treatment in Israel and Haiti.
The rehabilitation clinic and prosthesis lab are a joint project of Israel’s Magen David Adom, The Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer, Israel and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), working in collaboration with the Haitian Government, the Haitian Red Cross and the University Hospital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince.
No ‘Revolution’ for Egypt’s Christians
by Raymond Ibrahim, FrontPageMagazine.com
On March 5, Muslims attacked, plundered, and set ablaze an ancient Coptic church in Sool, a village near Cairo, Egypt. Afterwards, throngs of Muslims gathered around the scorched building and pounded its walls down with sledge hammers—to cries of “Allahu Akbar!” Adding insult to injury, the attackers played “soccer” with the relic-remains of the church’s saints and martyrs and transformed the desecrated church into a mosque (a live example of history, which witnessed countless churches seized and transformed into mosques). As a result of Christian girls being abducted and raped and overall terrorization of the Coptic community, thousands fled the village. (See this letter to Egypt’s military leadership signed by twenty congressmen discussing this and similar anecdotes.)
This latest church rampage was initiated by Muslims killing each other over an affair between a Christian man and a Muslim...
Obama’s Libya fiasco
By Ted Belman
With each passing day criticism mounts from the left and the right on Obama’s decision to bomb Libya. It ranges from
1) he should have asked Congress
2) he should have done it earlier
3) he is leading us into a quagmire
4) goal should have been to remove Qaddafi
5) If there was no plan to remove Qaddafi, the bombing shouldn’t have started.
I have a different take. It was never an humanitarian mission. Qaddafi was attacking armed insurgents. Sure there was some collateral damage (non combatants being killed) but that wasn’t the goal. Not once did I hear the accusation against him of using disproportionate force or collective punishment. That’s reserved for Israel. For that matter neither did I hear it with respect to the bombing campaign.
Nor have we been informed who the “rebels” are. Why is the US fighting to protect them and to have them replace Qadaffi.
What a collossal error in judgement.
The UN Carries On With Its Anti-Semitic Agenda
Laura: Even with all the upheaval taking place in Arab countries, the UN still finds time to continue its jihad against Israel and her people. For the OIC dominated UN, the Jews of Israel simply living on their own land is considered an unlawful act.
The UNHRC: Hard at work condemning Israel
By ANNE BAYEFSKY, JPost
The Council is poised to adopt six resolutions this week condemning just Israel – the highest number of resolutions dedicated to bashing the Jewish state at a single session.
The meeting on Monday at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva helps explain how it is possible for the horrifying murder of the Fogel family by Palestinian terrorists on March 11 to have been so easily minimized by the “civilized” world. Slashing the throat of a three-month old baby and stabbing a three-year old twice in the heart has sickened and anguished Jews everywhere, but the steady pounding of anti-Semitism at the United Nations has not skipped a beat.
At this session of the Human Rights...
How Obama has given terrorists an edge
By David B. Rivkin Jr.and Lee A. Casey, USA TODAY
Under the guise of “reaffirming America’s commitment to humane treatment of detainees,” the Obama administration announced last week a revolution in the rules governing how the United States protects itself from al-Qaeda and other terrorists.
Although the president has thrown a meaty bone to a determined segment of his political base — which opposed a full force, military response to the Sept. 11 attacks — with a stroke of his pen he has also made the American people less safe.
From now on, according to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the U.S. will comply with part of a treaty known as Protocol I Additional to the Geneva Conventions “out of a sense of legal obligation.” These are code words, which mean that the U.S. acknowledges this particular provision, Article 75, which extends ” fundamental guarantees” to any detainee, as a binding form of international law— even though the...
Sarah Palin In Israel
Laura: I love Sarah Palin for her moral clarity and her support of Israel and friendship with the Jewish people. She is unafraid to defend Jewish rights to the Jewish homeland when most of the rest of the world is siding with the false claims of the fakestinians and demonizing and delegitimizing Israel. I really wish Israeli leaders would assert their nation’s rights. Enough of this evenhandedness and appeasement of implacable enemies.
‘Palin Asked: Why Apologize to the Muslims?’
by Gil Ronen
Popular conservative politician Sarah Palin understands the importance of the Temple Mount to the Jewish people, according to MK Danny Danon (Likud), who accompanied her on a visit to the Kotel Sunday.
Danon told Arutz Sheva’s Hebrew-language service: “When we toured near the Kotel and in the tunnels near the Holy of Holies, she told me clear things without hesitating. She understands the importance of the place for the Jewish People and even asked me...
The United Nations’ Highly Selective “Responsibility to Protect”
by Bill Levinson
Per “Responsibility To Protect,” Not Remotely New by Omri Ceren
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon also said on Thursday that the justification for the use of force was based on humanitarian grounds, and referred to the principle known as Responsibility to Protect (R2P), “a new international security and human rights norm to address the international community’s failure to prevent and stop genocides, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.”
We will say up front that we have no use for Libyan dictator Moammar Khadafy. The United States in fact has every right on earth to kill him for his complicity in the Lockerbie bombing. The United Nations’ highly selective exercise of its “responsibility to protect” as described above, however, casts substantial doubt on Ban Ki-Moon’s honesty and good faith. Where was the UN’s “responsibility to protect” when North Korea murdered Ban Ki-Moon’s...
