Murdoch Warned of a War Against the Jews
[Now that Murdoch is under the gun, I thought I would remind you of his very supportive speech to the ADL last fall.]
Murdoch on Anti-Semitism
Editorial of The New York Sun | October 14, 2010
It will be some time before a major public figure confronts the question of anti-Semitism in a speech as to the point as that delivered last night by Rupert Murdoch to the annual banquet of the Anti-Defamation League in New York. The honoree of the evening, he noted that the League has been so successful that a few years ago some people were beginning to say, “Maybe we don’t need an ADL any more.” That, he said, “is a much harder argument to make these days” when, as he put it, “we live in a world where there is an ongoing war against the Jews.”
The war has, moreover, entered what the world’s most successful newspaper magnate called a new phase. The first phase had been “conventional in nature,” with the goal “to use military force to overrun Israel.” He...
Syrian forces surround protesting eastern town
By Khaled Yacoub Oweis
AMMAN (Reuters) – Syrian tanks surrounded a town near the border with Iraq’s Sunni heartland on Sunday after tens of thousands, emboldened by defections among security forces, took to the streets there denouncing President Bashar al-Assad, residents said.
Assad, from the minority Alawite sect, has sent troops in to towns across the country to try to end four months of protests against his rule. But activists say discontent is growing within the mostly Sunni army rank and file.
Killings, mostly carried out by ultra loyalist units, are leading to limited defections within the military, which is controlled by mostly Alawite officers who ultimately answer to Assad’s feared brother Maher, activists say.
Syria’s fractured opposition is also taking steps to unite, forming a 25-member National Salvation Council composed of Islamists, liberals and independents at a meeting in Istanbul on Saturday and agreeing to work toward a democratic...
There is another way
By Jan Willem van der Hoeven
In an interview with Jerusalem Post on 10.08.2001 the then leader of Israel’s opposition, Yossi Sarid was quoted:
“Every dispute around the world in history was solved through negotiations”.
This mantra repeatedly verbalized across Israel’s political spectrum, the notion that a solution with the Palestinians can only be found through negotiations is, however, entirely false.
Israel’s negotiations have actually brought more violence, not less. The ONLY WAY a political solution can be reached via negotiations is if an Israeli government comes to power, which, for the sake of regional peace, would be willing to change Israel’s nature so that it would no longer be a sovereign JEWISH state.
World history is replete with examples demonstrating that conflicts initiated by aggressive regimes are usually only resolved by military might. From the Islamic conquest of Europe, through the aggression of Nazi Germany...
Jordan on verge of survival showdown?
Jordan’s prime minister revealed that his country would vote against Palestinian statehood at the UN General Assembly in September.
Jordan has been relatively quiet since the outbreak of popular unrest engulfing many Arab and North African countries.
However, two recent developments perhaps indicate that the kingdom is far from complacent.
Last Saturday, King Abdullah declared a reshuffle in the cabinet not five months after it was sworn in – clearly in response to demonstrations protesting alleged government corruption. Earlier that week, the Dubai-based daily Al-Bayan published a leaked report that Jordan’s prime minister had revealed that his country would vote against Palestinian statehood at the UN General Assembly in September – thus breaking Arab consensus.
Unsurprisingly Jordan is facing two major challenges. On the one hand, there are mounting domestic pressures, especially from the Beduin South, the backbone of the...
“Palestinians want their own state but vote with their feet”
By Alexander Maistrovoy, a Israeli journalist
Not long ago Libya was a prospering country. Medicine, education and electricity were free for all citizens. There was a supermarket chain with symbolic prices of basic products for large families. There was no rent. A liter of gasoline was cheaper than a liter of water, and the state paid $ 7 000 for every newborn. Today, thanks to the efforts of the European powers, Libya is a ruined, miserable country taken to pieces by local clans, gangs and agents of influence, including “Al-Qaeda” and Iran.
Kosovo is another example. Recognized by the West, it remains “a black hole” of the world community and the main transit point for drugs and sex slavers trafficking.
Supporting the Palestinian state is a modern tendency. The problem is that nobody has asked Palestinians themselves what that wanted. It is clear that any inhabitant of Jenin or Nablus would without a hitch tell the BBC or CNN correspondents that he...
The hated settlers.
By Ted Belman
Israel is fulfilling settlers’ expansionist dream says Zvi Bar’el but it is a misleading title. In fact its all about the hated settlers who are destroying democracy.
He argues that in the name of redeeming the land the settlers want “a country in their image. A country where the halakha (religious law ) is the law, the rabbis are judges and the police are their servants. A proper Jewish state. ”
He complains that
“the exiled minority who dwell on rocky hills and in subsidized housing – who, from their place of exile, managed to bend the mother country to their will, to shape its image, to determine its laws, its budget and its foreign policy, and to fence in its citizens with the barbed wire of fascism.”
He is so wrong. The settlers themselves are certainly a minority but their supporters are not. Besides there is no prohibition on a minority fighting for their vision of the state. The left does it all the time. If...

It is an excellent rule to begin an article with the most important point, but this time, I find it necessary to begin with an introduction , and, moreover , with a personal introduction.
I am reputed to be an enemy of the Arabs, who wants to have them ejected from Palestine, and so forth. It is not true.
Emotionally, my attitude to the Arabs is the same as to all other nations – polite indifference. Politically, my attitude is determined by two principles. First of all, I consider it utterly impossible to eject the Arabs from Palestine. There will always be two nations in Palestine – which is good enough...
