Israel’s Supporters Must Learn from the Enemy
by Bill Levinson
We removed our post that compared Henry Ford’s proven job creation methods with Barack Obama’s proven job destruction methods because a couple of readers expressed outrage against Ford personally because of his involvement in anti-Semitic activities. We do not agree with these readers (as shown below) but we don’t want to put Ted in the position of circulating a piece to which people might take exception. This shows, however, that Euro-Americans in general and Jews in particular have failed to understand a simple point: a person we might find offensive or unsavory, or even an outright enemy, is often the best teacher. Our collective failure to learn this lesson puts Israel in particular and Civilization as a whole at considerable and even mortal risk.
We will begin with a couple of extremely simple examples of this principle. The United Kingdom is famous for the 95th Rifles, a regiment immortalized by Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe series.The UK is...
Britain and the Guardian support recognition of Palestine
A Palestinian state is a moral right: The case for a Palestinian state is unanswerable and must be supported in the west

Britain prepared to back UN vote calling Palestinian Authority a state

Guardian group leads UK charge on reckless Palestinian bid for unilateral statehood at the UN
No mainstream media outfit in the Western world has been more hostile to Israel than the Guardian group. On Sunday it ramped up the vitriol yet again. Stupidity or bigotry? Take your pick.

On Friday this coming week, the Palestinian leadership will ask the United Nations Security Council for recognition of a Palestinian state on the basis of 1967 borders which are entirely indefensible for the State of Israel.
Anyone but a fool can see that this is a blatant attempt to avoid direct negotiations with Israel so as to obviate the need for the kind of concessions that meaningful negotiations always entail.
And anyone but a bone-headed imbecile or an...
Israel’s Rights as a Nation-State in International Diplomacy
Alan Baker, JCPA
A concerted campaign is being waged against Israel to question its very legitimacy in virtually every aspect of its historical, political, and cultural life, with the aim of undermining the very foundations of Israel’s existence.
In response, several world-renowned experts have joined to present an authoritative exposition of Israel’s Rights as a Nation-State in International Diplomacy, published jointly by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and the World Jewish Congress.
The volume includes: “The National Rights of Jews” by Prof. Ruth Gavison, “From the Balfour Declaration to the Palestine Mandate” by Sir Martin Gilbert, “Self-Determination and Israel’s Declaration of Independence” by Prof. Shlomo Avineri, “The United Nations and Middle East Refugees: The Differential Treatment of Arabs and Jews” by Dr. Stanley A. Urman.
“Israel’s Rights Regarding Territories and the...
Beduin land claims in the Negev
By Steven Plaut
For years Israel’s radical Left, led in this by the extremist
anti-Zionist cheerleader for terrorism Oren Yiftachel (professor of
geography at Ben Gurion “University”), has been attempting to convert
most of the entire Negev into a Bedouin mini-state. And if the Israeli
far Left has its way, Bedouinstan will yet be a mini-state in which
Jews will be prevented from living. Ben Gurion University could be
its capital!
The Bedouin of the Negev were migrating transient nomads who passed in
and out of borders over centuries, moving into and out of the Negev
from the Sinai peninsula, from Saudi Arabia and from Jordan. They
traditionally owned no land at all, and land ownership was an alien
notion for them.
Today, in the year 2011, Negev Bedouins are claiming legal title to
the bulk of land in the Negev, and the radical anti-Zionist Israeli
Left is solidly behind them. How did this develop?

Turkey’s alliance with Iran and Syria is in ruin
Analysis: Israel, Egypt, Turkey – shifting sands
By ZVI MAZEL
The fact is that the present crisis has its roots in the election which in 2002 brought Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Islamist party – well known for its hostility to the Jews – to power.
Erdogan dismantled one after the other the bulwarks built by Ataturk, father of modern Turkey, that ensured that the country would remain secular. Making use of an unlikely ally, the European Union, which saw in the strong army and its special powers a threat to democracy and an obstacle to Turkey joining the union, Erdogan started promoting officers who were faithful to him and threw 400 high ranking officers into jail without a trial on charges of plotting against the regime. When the commander in chief of the armed forces and the heads of the different branches resigned in protest, Erdogan happily accepted their resignation and put his men in charge. The army was thus effectively neutralized, which brought about an...
Militant Islamic Awareness Week Ends Today
by Bill Levinson
Militant Islamic Awareness week began on September 11, an outstanding education as to the beauty of Islam (5:45, note the Obama cap at 5:05 or so) as illustrated in the same video in which a female specimen of the beauty of Islam tells Jews (3:23) to “go back to the ovens” and “you need a big oven.” We will end militant Islamic awareness week (as touted by the Muslim Student Association) with an educational opportunity for the Committee on Student Life (CSL) at Tufts University as chaired by prominent Democrat Barbara Grossman, and Bucknell Univesity’s Kathy Owens, the Executive Assistant to the President.
We will say up front that we will put up with most faults in other human beings but there are two character defects we will absolutely never condone or tolerate. The first is an authority figure who does not take responsibility for the bad outcomes of his or her decisions (e.g. blaming subordinates–”a bad workman always...
