The West supports a Judenrein Palestine

Now that the PA request for a Judenrein state was confirmed, I thought I should repost this excellent article.
By Matthew M. Hausman, (first posted in Mar 2011)
In seeking to impose a Palestinian state on Israel, the Obama Administration, European Union, and western media have displayed a cynical contempt for history that is astounding in its breadth and scope. Pressure is brought to bear solely on Israel, who is expected to sacrifice sovereignty and security in the name of an ideal that is premised on a repudiation of the Jews’ right to self-determination in their ancient homeland.
The Palestinians are expected to concede nothing — not even their oft-stated goal of the phased destruction of Israel. Nothing illustrates the hypocrisy better than a comparison of their demand that Israel accept an Arab “right of return” with their ambition for a state that would be ethnically cleansed of all Jews. Like the Nazis with whom the Mufti and other Arab leaders were so...

No Junk in the Trunk: UN Palestinian State Vote Bites Jewish Liberals in the Ass

To those who are paying attention, a scheduled United Nations vote on Palestinian statehood is just days away (though it’s possible that Obamaniks–rather than suffer embarrassment and American defeat–may do a deal sacrificing more of Israel and getting huge concessions in order to table it). But I don’t blame the anti-American, anti-Israel U.N. I don’t even blame the world’s nations, composed mostly of Third World banana republics, 22 artificially drawn nations carved out of Greater Barbaria a/k/a the Arab Muslim world, and assorted other Jew-haters and America-despisers. I expect these things from these people. Boys will be boys. And barbaric savages will be barbaric savages.

I blame Jewish liberals–the ones who dominate the American Jewish establishment, a Politburo that I and most other American Jews never chose. They are the ones who pimped America on the idea of accepting a “two state solution,” including a Palestinian State and Israel...

High Noon at the UN

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought”
“Israel Hayom” Newsletter, September 12, 2011
President Obama joins the campaign against the Palestinian UN initiative in spite of his belief that the UN is the quarterback of international relations, in defiance of his closest advisors – UN Ambassador Susan Rice, Director of Multilateral Affairs Samantha Power and Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett – and irrespective of his support of Palestinian claims and his assumption that the Palestinian issue is the root cause of Middle East turbulence and the crown jewel of Arab policy-making.
However, President Obama operates within the Federalist system which precludes an omnipotent president, and significantly constrains his maneuverability. It accords Congress – a bastion of support of the Jewish State – power equal to that of the President, domestically and internationally. The clout of Congress grows in direct correlation to the weakness of...

Bill attempts to impose accountability on UN

By Natasha Mozgovaya, HAARETZ
Ros-Lehtinen, who is Chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, is one of the loudest voices in Congress opposing the Palestinian UN bid. The bill, which she introduced earlier this month, also aims at cutting funding to the UN bodies that will upgrade the status of the Palestinian leadership.
The initiative was criticized by Obama Administration officials and Ros-Lehtinen’s democratic colleagues in Congress, but the Congresswoman made it clear on Tuesday that she has no intentions of backpedalling on the issue.
State Department officials have said bill puts U.S ability to pursue its foreign policy goals in danger, but Ros-Lehtinen disagrees, saying that it will restore ‘respect’ to the UN.

“I don’t think this bill is dangerous,” Ros-Lehtinen told Haaretz. “I think it will build on diplomatic efforts because it will bring the UN...

Veto a State, Lose an Ally
By TURKI AL-FAISAL, NYT
The United States must support the Palestinian bid for statehood at the United Nations this month or risk losing the little credibility it has in the Arab world. If it does not, American influence will decline further, Israeli security will be undermined and Iran will be empowered, increasing the chances of another war in the region.
Moreover, Saudi Arabia would no longer be able to cooperate with America in the same way it historically has. With most of the Arab world in upheaval, the “special relationship” between Saudi Arabia and the United States would increasingly be seen as toxic by the vast...

Democrats Lose Democratic-Majority 9th Congressional District

The handwriting is on the wall for the Democratic Party and its Master
by Bill Levinson
National Jewish Democratic Council President and CEO David A. Harris whistled past the graveyard but the handwriting is on the wall. The 9th Congressional District is in New York, and it went for Gore, Kerry, and Obama in the past elections. However, Republican Bob Turner just took the seat from the Democrats.
Attention King Belshazzar Barack
Mene, Mene, Tekel Republicans
    The electorate has numbered the days of your Presidency and brought it to an end; you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting; your Congress is divided and given to the Republicans and the Tea Party.

Ayalon points out that Arab rejectionism thwarts the peace process

Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon starred in a new public diplomacy video explaining the main reason for the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Authority is not Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria, but successive Arab leaders’ resistance to Jewish sovereignty.
Ayalon asks, “If Israel’s presence is the cause of the conflict, then it follows that there is no conflict before 1967, when Israel was not in the West Bank. Right?”
“Let’s look at the facts. The PLO – the Palestine Liberation Organization – was created in 1964, when the entire West Bank and Gaza were in Arab hands. Why create a PLO in 1964 when Israel has no presence in the West Bank and Gaza? What Palestine were they liberating?”
A previous video starring Ayalon, about Israel legal rights in Judea and Samaria has received more than 370,000 views.

Understanding Poverty in the U.S.

This article caught my attention because when the left try to discredit the US, it always points out that a huge percentage of people in the US, live below the poverty line and I have had to accept the validity of their criticism, til now. Ted Belman
By Robert Rector and Rachel Sheffield, REAL CLEAR POLITICS

The U.S. Census Bureau’s annual poverty report, released this morning, found that 46.2 million Americans, or one in seven of us, were poor in 2010. The prolonged recession, with its high levels of unemployment, clearly has swollen the ranks of the poor.
But high numbers for poverty as defined by the Census Bureau predates the current recession. In most years for the past two decades, in fact, the Census Bureau declared that more than 35 million Americans were “living in poverty.” Last year’s number was 43.5 million.
These figures sound ominous. But do we really understand poverty in the United States? What does it mean to be poor?
To the average American, the word...
