Gimpel Fires Back at Radical Accusations
In the wake of the latest media attacks against the Bayit Yehudi, Jeremy Gimpel fires back at those accusing him of incitement.
“The Bayit Yehudi is confident that this motion will be exposed as completely baseless and on Tuesday the voters will cast their ballots for Jewish pride, values, and equality, by voting for the Bayit Yehudi. Splinter parties on the left are desperately seeking to make headlines by twisting the truth and taking remarks out of context. The voters will see through it.” (Read more…)


Eldad says what must be said  

National religious Israeli voters like yours truly have three choices this coming Tuesday:
    Vote for Likud-Beitenu and strengthen the hand of Benjamin Netanyahu, whose party list includes at least six national-religious candidates in realistic spots. The polls are giving them between 32 and 38 seats.

    Vote for Jewish Home, so that it would be large enough for Netanyahu to be forced to include it in his coalition government and necessarily stick to pro-settlement, anti-Palestinian state policies. The polls are giving them between 12 and 16 seats.

Toward a `conservative’ foreign policy  

By Diana West, American Thinker
What might a “conservative” foreign policy look like?
In the post-9/11 era, it’s fair to say we have mainly followed a “neoconservative” foreign policy. This policy has been based on the rock-solid belief that there exist universal values that all peoples everywhere share and indeed yearn for if they don’t already enjoy them. Our neoconservative foreign policy, then – our war-fighting policy, too – has been a matter of spreading such universal values.
This has been a disaster. Think of nation-building in Iraq and Afghanistan — policies predicated on this denial of the existence of cultural difference. Certainly in this decade since 9/11 we should have learned that cultures, the West and Islam, namely, are different and that such universalism is a fantasy. The West enshrines the liberty of the individual, while Islam, like other totalitarian systems, enforces a collective will. Still, to this day, we don’t permit this simple reality to be discussed let alone reflected in any meaningful policy way.

The research she did for her paper alarmed her, and Valdary resolved to do what she could to fight Jew-hatred.

There hasn’t been a lot of good news recently for pro-Israel watchers of campus culture, but in the unlikeliest of places, by the unlikeliest of Zionists, there is finally good news to share. (Read more…)
 
 

My heart valve replacement  

By Ted Belman
I am happy to say that I am now out of the hospital after having my aortic heart valve replaced.
Fifteen years ago, in Canada, my doctor preformed a triple bypass for me which required open heart surgery. For the uninitiated, this means that the doctors had to saw through my sternum (breast bone) to separate both sides of my rib cage. Once done they separated both sides about four inches by the use of a very strong separater. This enables the doctors to do their thing inside by rib cage. This creates havoc on ones rib cage that takes months to recover from. When I woke up in the recovery room after this operation, I felt like I had been run over by a truck.

Obama supports the U.S. Constitution only when it suits his political agenda  

By Andrew L. Jaffee, netwmd.com
President Obama takes a rather selective view of our Constitution, even though he is sworn to uphold the whole document. He likes to apply it in situations favorable to his political agenda, and deny the application of it in situations unfavorable to his agenda, as the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) pointed out:
“First, it’s time for Congress to require a universal background check on anyone trying to buy a gun.” These were President Obama’s words as he outlined his plans for gun control legislation on Wednesday.
FAIR takes no position on gun issues, but the president’s unequivocal support for universal checks demonstrates two things:
  1. The president does not consider background checks to be an infringement on anyone’s constitutional liberties, and
  2. The president does not consider there to be any technological impediments to carrying out universal checks before someone is permitted to purchase a firearm.

Kristof’s Antisemitic Tweet  

Laura:  Why isn’t kristof the pig upset about the muslim and arab lobbies? Why do we never hear of their influence on our government, which makes AIPAC look like child’s play? Kristof the antisemitic pig obviously has no problem with muslim brotherhood operatives in the White House, State Department, Defense Department, Justice Department etc. shaping policy. Only the pro-Israel lobby is controversial to the leftist Jew-hating pigs.

NY Times Columnist Kristof Tweets – Pro-Israel Group AIPAC Are Pigs

 Nicholas Kristof thinks AIPAC = pigs.
Apparently, NY Times Nicholas Kristof thinks the pro-Israel group AIPAC are pigs.  At least that’s what he retweeted.  He also is not a fan of the NRA and the pro-business Chamber of Commerce.  No wonder they love him at the Times. Israel National Newsreported: (Read more…)
