Ira Forman’s well-earned position as Obama’s Kapo in Chief
The National “Jewish” “Democratic” Council reported today that NJDC Chair Marc Stanley issued the following statement on the Obama Campaign’s appointment of Ira Forman as its Jewish Outreach Director. On behalf of the National Jewish Democratic Council’s Board and Staff, I am ecstatic that the Obama campaign has chosen Ira Forman to lead their outreach to the American Jewish community. I had the opportunity to work closely with Ira for a number of years when he served in his capacities as NJDC’s Executive Director and CEO. I cannot think of anyone better suited to help the campaign reach Jewish voters. Ira’s knowledge and understanding of the Jewish community is unsurpassed, and his passion for the Democratic Party’s principles makes him a perfect fit for his new role. Mr. Forman’s commitment to the Democratic Party is amply proven by...
Laura: It looks as though we have another Chris Christie on our hands in Texas governor Rick Perry who has announced he is running for president. Like Christie, Perry speaks of fiscal conservatism but is clueless about the stealth jihad and has pandered to the agenda of islamic leaders and groups in Texas who’s aim is to infiltrate the educational system to propagandize youngsters with lies about islam’s contributions and sugarcoating its violent history and implementing sharia. It’s hard to believe that with all of the information out there in which even ordinary American citizens have access to, that so many politicians in both parties are unaware of the agenda and radical views of the islamic organizations and individuals they cultivate. It seems they are willing to sell out the future of our country to gain power for themselves, and unfortunately these stealth jihad groups are wielding an increasing amount of power and influence in our political system. Even...
The Palestinians’ decision to place the issue of the establishment of a Palestinian state before the United Nations for a vote next month repudiates of the principles of the 1993 Oslo peace framework, through which the Palestinian Authority was formed out of the PLO. The Oslo framework dictated that the final status of Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Jerusalem would be determined through direct negotiations between the PLO and Israel. While brazen, the Palestinians’ UN gambit is not the first time that Israel has been confronted with unequivocal proof that the Palestinians have been operating in bad faith. From the outset, PLO leaders from Yassir Arafat down have made statements and taken actions that have demonstrated that from the PLO’s perspective, the entire “two-state paradigm,” of peacemaking upon which the Oslo process is predicated was nothing more than a ploy.
‘The real lesson from Europe,” wrote Paul Krugman in January 2010, “is actually the opposite of what conservatives claim: Europe is an economic success, and that success shows that social democracy works.” Here are some postcards from the social democracy that works. • In Britain, 239 patients died of malnutrition in the country’s public hospitals in 2007, according to a charity called Age U.K. And at any given time, a quarter-million Britons have been made to wait 18 weeks or longer for medical treatment. This follows a decade in which funding for the National Health Service doubled. • In France, the incidence of violent crimes rose by nearly 15% between 2002 and 2008, according to statistics provided by Eurostat. In Italy violent crime was up 38%. In the EU as a whole, the rate rose by 6% despite declines in robbery and murder.
Bat Ye’or’s 2005 Eurabia: the Euro-Arab Axis portrayed Western Europe’s recrudescent dhimmitude, chronicled in real time, by our most informed contemporary scholar of the dhimmi condition. Living as an eyewitness in Geneva—a major European center, with its United Nations, NGOs and other international fora—Bat Ye’or described in painstaking detail, the ongoing transformation of Europe into “Eurabia,” a cultural and political appendage of the Arab/Muslim world.

Historian Arnold Toynbee, who developed the theory of challenge-and-response [1] to account for the survivability of civilizations, has said that great civilizations are not murdered, they commit suicide — by not meeting their challenges. A variation of this historical insight may be phrased thus: When a civilization or an empire feels inwardly that it is dying, or as Oswald Spengler put it in The Decline of the West [2], that it wants to die and “wishes itself into the darkness,” it begins to go mad. Collective madness is a sure portent that an end is approaching, that an axial transformation is about to occur, that an entire worldview or cultural habitus is on the verge of disintegration. It signals that a people has surrendered to a mortal destiny, repudiated its sustaining tradition and condign principles, and indeed has gone so far as to regard the enemy at the gates as a form of salvation. “They were, those people, a kind of solution,”...
To Discuss Strategic And Military Cooperation Rob Miller, AMERICAN THINKER This is one of those important stories you won’t see reported on much. General Chen Bingde, Chief of General Staff of the People’s Liberation Army of China arrived in Israel on an official 3 day visit to discuss military cooperation between the two countries. General Bingde’s position is equivalent to the head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, and this is the first time a Chinese officer of that rank has ever visited Israel. He was received with full honors upon his arrival and came at the invitation of IDF Chief of Staff Benny Ganz. His visit will include conferences with Ganz, Israeli defense Minister Ehud Barak, Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israel military figures as well as a visit of the Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem and a visit to a military base in the Negev.
Lt. Col. Howard writes to advise; I, with the help of others, posted these items at the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles: (1) Subject: Jerusalem some materials for background information–for distribution (1) East Jerusalem. The so-called Arab sector of East Jerusalem was once heavily populated with Jews. In 1948 the British led British equipped British trained Jordanian Legion conquered that portion of the city of Jerusalem and murdered or expelled every Jew and destroy every vestige of Jewish presence. Jews have indisputably been the majority in Jerusalem since at least 1853. It was a Jew-free area only during the brief period between 1949 to 1967, when Jordan ethnically cleansed East Jerusalem of Jews to interrupt a continuous 1,000-year Jewish presence.To consider East Jerusalem “Palestinian” an atypical 18-year historical blip as the baseline for negotiations.means rewarding Israel’s Arab enemies, who aimed for exactly this goal when they leveled the Jewish Quarter.
By OREN KESSLER AND REUTERS, JPOST Syrian forces shelled residential districts in Latakia on Monday, the third day of an assault on Sunni neighborhoods of the ancient port city that had seen mounting protests against President Bashar Assad’s autocratic rule. Meanwhile, thousands of people fled a Palestinian refugee camp in the coastal city, some fleeing gunfire and others leaving on orders from authorities, a spokesman for the UN Relief and Works Agency said.
“This is our final word to the Syrian authorities. Our first expectation is that these operations stop immediately and unconditionally,” the Turkish foreign minister said in Ankara’s strongest rhetoric yet against its once close ally. “If these operations do not stop, there will be nothing left to say about the steps that would be taken,” he told a news conference, without elaborating.
I just signed up for access to Genn Beck TV at the cost of $4.95 a month cancellable at any time. Ted Belman By Adam Taxin, PHILIDELPHIA EXAMINER Glenn Beck arrived in Israel yesterday and broadcast his daily radio show live from Jerusalem earlier today. Beck, who began the show by saying it has been “an incredible weekend,” is in Israel as part of his much-anticipated “Restoring Courage” event, which is intended to show solidarity with the State of Israel and the Jewish People. During the first hour of his show, Beck spent time discussing his visit to Itamar in Samaria [part of the region, along with Judea, that those with less-than-warm feelings for Israel prefer to refer to as the “West Bank”]. While in Itamar, Beck visited the home and community of the Fogel family, members of whom were brutally massacred in March by Arab Muslim terrorists who invaded their home while they were observing Shabbat.
