Earlier today, I said what Koch is saying. The Arabs think they can take us just as in all previous wars. Hope burns eternal.Much of the blame for the current mindset is Obama’s foreign policy decisions. He is to blame. Ted Belman By Ed Koch, JWR, Sept. 13, 2011 Israel is now surrounded by Arab and other Muslim nations who believe this is the moment when they can finally destroy the Jewish state. They tried and failed to conquer Israel in five different wars since 1948. They are still trying. Since the “Arab Spring” revolts in the Arab heartland of Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen and Syria, opinion-makers in the Western world have sought to glamorize those revolutions by comparing them to those by which eastern European countries freed themselves from Communist regimes imposed on them by the Soviet Union.

Members of Digital Judaica Book Club The Return of the Evil (Ottoman) Empire: Erdogan Brandishes Weapons, Menaces Regional Peace Israel calls Turkey’s threat to send warships ‘grave and serious’ demonstrates that Turkey has made an armed threat against a fellow Westernized nation, and opens to question whether Turkey is a responsible and civilized nation that should possess any weapons at all. Murder Conducted by a State: the Turk at his Work As reported by the reference, Speaking to Al Jazeera television in Turkish, Erdogan said Ankara would dispatch warships to protect any Turkish aid ships seeking to reach Gaza in defiance of the Israeli blockade. “Turkish warships will be tasked with protecting the Turkish boats bringing humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip,” he said in remarks which were translated into Arabic. “From now on, we will no longer allow these boats to be the targets of attacks by Israel, like the one on the Freedom Flotilla, because then Israel will have to... What is Israel’s predicament? It is this: It is surrounded on nearly all sides by enemies who are aggressively committed to its destruction. And too many people who call themselves its friends are only ambivalently committed to its security. Consider the month that Israel has just had: • On Aug. 18, eight Israelis were killed in a sophisticated cross-border ambush near the frontier with Egypt. • From Aug. 18-24, some 200 large-caliber, factory-made rockets and mortars were fired at Israel from Gaza. • On Sept. 1, the head of Iran’s atomic energy agency announced that it was moving the bulk of its enrichment facilities to a heavily fortified site near the city of Qom. Board Statement: Board Speaks Out Against EDL and Extremism As we have done so consistently in the past, the Board of Deputies of British Jews condemns unreservedly the EDL, their ideology and their actions. It is clear for all to see that the EDL are solely intent on causing divisions and mistrust between different groups in British society. When they wave Israeli flags at a rally or demonstration, they do so only to goad the Muslim community and to stir communal tensions. This, and everything that the EDL stands for, is utterly abhorrent. Equally sickening were the scenes of demonstrators attacking America and celebrating 9/11. All right thinking people should be repulsed by extremism from any quarter. Turkish frigates to confront Israeli vessels, disable their weapons DEBKAfile Special Report September 12, 2011, As Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan was set to start a visit to Egypt, Turkish naval sources reported: “If Turkish warships encounter an Israeli military ship outside Israel’s 12-mile territorial waters, they will advance up to 100 meters from the ship and disable its weapon system.” The threat bluntly applied to Israel’s naval enforcement of its UN-approved blockade of the Gaza Strip. No US drones for Turkey until armed threat on Israel lifted The Obama administration has turned down a Turkish request for drones or for the deployment of US Predators at Turkish bases until Ankara stops threatening Israel with armed attack, debkafile’s military and Washington sources report. Turkey has no functioning unmanned aerial vehicles at present. The “technical problems” grounding the Herons Israel sold Ankara have crippled the Turkish army’s campaign against the Kurdish PKK rebels – both in northern Iraq and in southeast Turkey. In recent days, therefore, the rebels have stepped up their raids on Turkish territory, killing nine people including army and police personnel. By Mark Steyn, NRO We retreat to equivocation, cultural self-loathing, and utterly fraudulent misrepresentation of 9/11. Waiting to be interviewed on the radio the other day, I found myself on hold listening to a public-service message exhorting listeners to go to 911day.org and tell their fellow citizens how they would be observing the tenth anniversary of the, ah, “tragic events.” There followed a sound bite of a lady explaining that she would be paying tribute by going and cleaning up an area of the beach. Great! Who could object to that? Anything else? Well, another lady pledged that she “will continue to discuss anti-bullying tactics with my grandson.” Whoa, ease up on the old judgmentalism there, pal. In New Jersey, many of whose residents were among the dead, middle-schoolers will mark the anniversary with a...
