There is no shying away from this ugly truth, just because it’s unbearably painful to contemplate. It’s time to face it square on. It was members of the Fogel family who were slain in their home on Shabbat. Rabbi Udi Fogel, 36, who taught at the Itamar yeshiva. Ruth Fogel, 34. Yoav, age 11. Eldad, four. Tiny baby Hadas. Here you have a picture of Eldad, with the beautiful (unabashedly I say, kissable) face of a happy child. Look well, and then understand that he was stabbed in the heart. His baby sister had her throat cut. By Ted Belman Abbas aide: Israel’s approval of West Bank homes ‘unacceptable’ Yishai: Israel must build 1,000 new units in settlements for every person murdered I agree with Yishai. Better still why limit it. Just, build Bibi, build. What purpose does the freeze fulfill when peace isn’t possible? Fogel Family Slaughter Deliberately Incited by PA h/t Israel Matzav BE WARNED, THIS VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES. Nick Day, student Rector at Queen’s University, recently published a letter in his official capacity as a represenative of the Queen’s student body to Michael Ignatieff on rabble.ca, accusing the Liberal leader of supporting Israeli genocide. An online campaign to begin the process of impeaching Mr. Day has succeeded, a school-wide referendum will be held in two weeks to determine whether or not Mr. Day remains in office. The campaign was driven by outraged students offended that their student leader has chosen to advocate causes they have no interest in, or explicitly do not support. One such student is Kerry Mendelsohn, whose open letter to Mr. Day, with her permission, we reproduce below. (Please note that letter has been edited for spelling and grammar, but is otherwise true to the original version sent to Mr. Day.) Dear Mr. Day, I would like to share with you my thoughts on your response to Michael Ignatieff’s condemnation of Israel Apartheid Week. I... An Interview with an Arab Dissident Mudar Zahran is a Palestinian Jordanian who fled Jordan and currently resides in England. A former political insider, he is very critical of the Hashemite regime in Jordan, both vis-à-vis its treatment of its majority Palestinian population and in its belligerent attitude towards Israel. He is convinced that the Hashemites are an impediment to a resolution of the Palestinian issue and hence to regional security. Zahran’s English articles have been published by the Hudson Institute and the Jerusalem Post. The following interview reveals a picture of Jordan unknown to most outsiders. Equally important, the ideas and suggestions of Zahran provide some hope for the future of the troubled region. MZ: Not at all, Jordan is a dictatorship whose rulers have always posed as modernizers while they are indeed... It’s Time for the Jews to Stand Up for Themselves By David Horowitz, FrfontPageMag I was not looking forward to my speech at Brooklyn College last night during “Israel Apartheid Week.” The campus atmosphere was so hostile to Jews that no student organization was willing to host my appearance, not even the Jewish organizations – and with 3,500 Jewish students on campus, there were several. My visit was only made possible by the courage of one professor, Mitchell Langbert, who reserved a room in the school library and the bravery of one student, Yosef Sobol, a Jewish immigrant from Ukraine who organized the event. by Giulio Meotti, INN Pope Ratzinger, in a new book, exonerates the Jews of allegations they were responsible for Jesus Christ’s death. Israel’s relationship with the largest Christian group is different from Israel’s relationship with, say, Albaniaor Lesotho, because the Catholic Church has more than one billion adherents. In 1948, the Vatican described Zionism as a “new Nazism”. This was a forerunner of the infamous UN resolution – “Zionism is Racism”. The repudiation of Israel after the Shoah is an everlasting stain on the Christian’s conscience. Since then, the Holy See took positive steps toward Israel, like the formal recognition in 1993. T. Belman. If the US wanted to be the dominant power in the ME, it would have to take Iran out. There is no other choice. It should have no illusion. It can only retain its dwindling assets by going on offense. If it does, it will need Israel all the more. As it is, it thinks it can retain these assets by undermining Israel. “Withdrawal by the US behind its ocean walls will not protect us from either nuclear terrorism or the very real possibility of a Nuclear Winter.” The Obama Administration’s ambivalence and apparent naïveté confronting street demonstrations and revolutionary fervor sweeping the region must confuse Israel and her Arab neighbors. How, they must wonder, can a country and world power with regional strategic interests in a state of free-fall support and promote the ouster of long-time allies previously protecting those strategic interests? The short answer is that the administration’s response continues a policy set in motion... From a strategic point of view, the Iran-led regional axis has until now emerged as a net earner from the “Arab Spring” of 2011. In Egypt and Tunisia, two stable, pro-Western Arab regimes have fallen, giving way to ambiguous and potentially chaotic situations in those countries. Among the countries of the “resistance axis,” meanwhile, protests have been brutally suppressed or stillborn, at least for the moment. Attention is now turning to the vital Persian Gulf area. Bahrain is in the midst of an uprising by the country’s majority Shi’ite population. But the main question is whether instability will spread to Saudi Arabia – the key US ally in the area, and in many ways the linchpin of US regional strategy.
“Truth Be Told about the massacre of 5 innocents”
I began my report on the family slaughtered in Itamar late last night. Here I continue:
~~~~~~~~~~
There is a fence around Itamar, and I’m receiving conflicting stories about how the terrorists got in. What seems to have happened is that some alarm was set off by the fact that the fence was touched, but as the Itamar security guards did not find a break in the fence — it apparently had been jumped –they...Lift the freeze in total

King Abdullah of Jordan is strongly anti-Israel and pro-Hamas

YM: To most outsiders Jordan is considered somewhat modern and pro-western. Is this assessment true?David Horowitz finally gets to speak at a campus.
The college paper, Excelsior, is edited by a 9/11 “truther” who had declared on the Internet that a memorial should be erected to Mohammed Atta and the 9/11 terrorists and who had turned the Excelsior into an anti-Israel propaganda sheet. Despite the fact that the Jews who attend Brooklyn college are members of a minority who are the victims of eight times...The Church and Israel: the Truth
Who killed Jesus two thousand years ago is simply not the question at hand. What is happening now is what matters.
However, Ratzinger’s teaching on Christ sharply contrast with the latest Vatican’s stances against the State of Israel. This is the real issue in the relations between the Church and the Jews....Mr. President, it’s Iran or lose the region, period!
