Where’s Waldo Osama?
Government should release bin Laden death photos
by Bill Levinson
The following picture (don’t click on “more” if you don’t like graphic death images) shows why we are not receptive to the President’s statement that publishing pictures of Osama bin Laden’s death is not “who we are.” The hanging of Japanese warlord Hideki Tojo, and the hanged bodies of various Nazi war criminals, were all photographed by our government which obviously released the photos.
In any event, the following set of photos speaks for itself and Osama bin Laden definitely deserves to be part of it.

Hamas’ useful idiots
ITS ONLY A DISASTER IF YOU THOUGHT PEACE WAS POSSIBLE. IF YOYU DIDN’T WANT TO CAPITULATE, IT WAS A GODSEND. THE WEST LONG SINCE STOPPED ISOLATING HAMAS.
The reconciliation pact signed between Fatah and Hamas on Wednesday is a disaster. A disaster for Israelis, who for years have suffered rocket attacks from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, and for their government, which waged a war on Hamas in late 2008 and early 2009 and has subsequently tried to weaken the Islamist movement’s hold on the Strip via an unpopular blockade. And it’s a disaster for the West, which has attempted to isolate Hamas with sanctions while giving billions of dollars in aid to the Palestinian Authority government in the West Bank.
But most of all, it is a disaster for the Palestinian people, who have seen their chances of achieving statehood suffer a serious blow.
You wouldn’t know this from reading the upbeat reactions of those people outside the region...
Bin Laden’s One Mistake
by Shmuel Sackett, Manhigut Yehudit International Director
One thing made Osama bin Laden public enemy #1. One thing made him a target for America ‘s hit squad. One thing – and only one thing – made his assassination justified and praised by world leaders. He didn’t just kill Jews.
Had he limited his terrorism to Jews only, he would not have been targeted. The same world leaders who today take great pride in his death would have celebrated his life. He would not have been killed by President Obama; he would have dined with him.
He would have been invited to the United Nations. He would have had a worldwide speaking tour. He would have won the Nobel peace prize.
Think I’m crazy? Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the President of Iran. His resume includes much more than just politics. He and his Persian mentors ordered Hezbollah to bomb the Jewish Community of Argentina in the 90s and killed hundreds of Jews. He has stated – time and again – that he wants to destroy...
Recognition, Unity Agreements and Negotiations.
By Ted Belman*
The Palestinian Authority (PA) has been busy lining up countries to recognize Palestine as a state with armistice line borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital. It intends to ask the Security Council to vote for such a resolution in September of this year. Should the US veto it, it will then ask the GA to do so.
To make the Palestinian’s case stronger, Fatah, Hamas and other terrorist groups have signed a Unity Agreement. Not for the first time, I would add. These agreements give the appearance of unity to obscure their fundamental differences if not on substance at least on tactics. But the main reason they fail is that neither party is prepared to give up their power. The driving force this time behind such agreement is the desire to present a united PA before the UN votes on whether to recognize Palestine..
The Obama administration is publically against such a resolution preferring instead negotiations. Privately it works with Britain, France and...
Obama Eligibility Suit Receives Federal Justices’ Positive Nods
By Ted Belman
On May 2/11 the C of A heard the appeal against the denial by the lower court of the standing of the Plaintiffs to ask whether Obama was eligible.
This article discusses what exchanges took place on the appeal. Even allowing for the fact that the author may have wanted the appeal to be granted, he describes some of the facts and the arguments presented in a fair way.
The article serves a useful purpose in ellucidating what is at stake on the issue of standing. Although he has a positive take on what transpired, I couldn’t escape the feeling that this court would try their utmost to deny the appeal.
The Court has yet to rule (I’d be surprised it it grants the appeal).
