Sarah Palin: She’s baaack

By Ted Belman

Sarah Palin owned the crowd at the CPAC Convention last Saturday when she gave her great speech. She got more standing ovations from the over-flowing crowd then all the candidates put together. She then went down into the crowd and shook hands for over an hour.

Since then she did over 8 interviews over at FOX. All the FOX personalities were swooning over her. In her interview with Eric Bolling she said that she expects a brokered convention and that she would help any way she could. She even mentioned a possible future run.

    I am thankful that I know that I, that you, so many people, we can make a difference without having a title, without being kinda shackled to an office or put in a box right now. And that’s where I am right now. But I cannot predict what will happen in the future, but I know that I’ve got the fire in my belly to try to help, to try to make a difference. And if that involves running for public office at some time in the future, I’m...

Why Multiculturalism Is Racism

I was there when Trudeaumania took over the Canadian electorate. Trudeau was an intellectual and a socialist and a third-worlder. He had a love affair with China and Fidel Castro. And he introduced multiculturalism and the Canadian Bill of Rights to Canada. “social justice” was one of his goals. Yet when he thought that there was a potential insurrection happening in Canada, he declared the War Measures Act which suspended all liberties and rights.It is only with the present Conservative Government are Canadians clawing their way back.

Dr. Salim Mansur’s new book Delectable Lie: A Liberal Repudiation of Multiculturalism [1] has been positively reviewed and endorsed by a handful of mainly conservative reviewers and distinguished intellectuals.

In my opinion, the book has been underestimated. It is a real gem. And, despite a recent spate of other important books on this subject, including Ibn Warraq’s Why the West Is Best [2],...

Foreign Aid and American Priorities

by Shoshana Bryen, The Jewish Policy Centre

It is a struggle to decide who, if anyone, has a claim to U.S. foreign aid dollars. It is, after all, money earned by American taxpayers and sent to people who didn’t earn it, at least not in the traditional sense. Should it be used to encourage countries to accept American requirements — or to reward countries that have done so? Should it be only for people who like Americans? That would be a small group. James Lindsay, senior vice president of he Council on Foreign Relations, reminds us, “Gratitude isn’t the primary objective of U.S. foreign aid… Washington doles out aid primarily based on calculations about how to advance U.S. strategic interests.”

If the minimal condition is that American money should advance American interests, it is worth considering money spent on the Palestinian Authority (PA) and on Egypt, as well as in support of what remains of the “Arab Spring.”

How do Jews survive the constant threat of genocide

The First Symptom
by Michael Devolin

Doctor Michael Phelps once said, “The trouble with heart disease is that the first symptom is often hard to deal with: sudden death.” Likewise it is difficult for Israel to deal with what is always the first symptom of war with her Muslim neighbors: their intended genocide of every living Jew residing in the Middle East. Iran’s “Supreme Leader” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei recently had his “strategy specialist” Alireza Forghani compose a document declaring that it would be a “jurisprudential justification” for the Iranian military to wipe out the nation of Israel and all its Jewish inhabitants.

Aside from even touching on the subject of Islamic-incited, anti-Jewish hatred and genocide as being somehow connected to any type of “jurisprudential” philosophy other than the various kill-the-Jews themes found in the Koran, one has to wonder at how the Jews of Israel, especially women...

“Jihad and sacrifice [fida] are imperative.”

Ayat al-Akhras, who graduated that school, blew herself up at a Jerusalem supermarket, killing a security guard an 18 year old Israeli girl, Rachel Levy, who had grown up in the US.. After Ayat al-Akhras carried out the homicide, the UNRWA school held a memorial for her and commissioned paintings of her throughout the school and on the entrance to the school.

A comprehensive paper on the “Right of Return” as the central theme in all of UNRWA education, affecting 500,000 Arab pupils, was presented to the US Congress on January 26, 2012 by Dr. Arnon Groiss, a senior official of the Voice of Israel Arabic Language Service.

The paper was commissioned by Council for...

Social Justice or a market economy?

By DANIEL DORON, JPOST

Choice is between: an efficient, growth-inducing market economy or a welfare state meaning a huge government that actually harms the poor, inhibits prosperity.

At the recent Herzliya Conference, the question was raised whether the Israeli economy should be “managed” according to the principles of social justice or of the market economy.

As a “vision,” Social Justice – a codeword for the welfare state, undoubtedly trumps capitalism.

Social Justice is indefinable so it can mean anything: from free tuition to subsidized housing. In contrast capitalism seems niggardly.

For Capitalism – the dirty word Karl Marx, a brilliant propagandist, attached to the market economy – can make no unlimited ideological promises. The market economy is merely a process of production and distribution of goods and services, the best we know in a world of imperfect people.

Yet capitalism created “values” when it freed humanity from crushing poverty, from the need...
