Kissinger’s Guilt

By David Isaac, in the Shmuel Katz Blog

Recently declassified White House transcripts (featured in an editorial in the Israeli daily Haaretz) show former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger blaming Israel for the problems in the region, accusing Israel of being “deliberately provocative” and attempting “to create maximum commotion in the Middle East.”

In the newly released documents Kissinger refers to the Golan Heights as “Syrian territory” and the Syrians as “my friends.” He confides to an Algerian diplomat that “a (new Arab-Israeli) war wouldn’t be so bad for us. … We could show (Israel) we are tough.” Us? This strongly suggests Kissinger identified with the Arab side in the Arab-Israel conflict.

While these documents do not cover the period of the 1973 war (they cover the end of the Nixon administration and eighteen months of the subsequent Ford administration), they bear out Shmuel Katz’s devastating assessment of Kissinger’s role during the...

NJDC sides/sided with J Street over ECI

Washington Jewish Week

SECOND UPDATE: NJDC’s David Harris calls me back to rescind his words about J Street’s bipartisan nature. See bottom of post.

UPDATED with response from J Street at bottom.

The controversial new pro-Israel outfit, Emergency Committee for Israel “is playing with fire,” says David Harris, president and CEO of the National Jewish Democratic Council, which recently released a “fact sheet” aimed at exposing what it says are ECI’s “dangerous” smear tactics.

ECI – founded earlier this month by neoconservatives and evangelical Christians – has been warring with J Street over the Pennsylvania Senate race, and both groups have sought to gain the upper hand by placing Israel front and center.

However, ECI, says Harris, has gone too far in its attacks on Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak.

“They’re using Israel solely as a partisan wedge issue and they’re employing tactics that have...

Out of the Closet Jew-Haters

Laura: Liberals are the new nazis and are abetting the muslim murder of Jews. If the muslims are able to carry out their desire for a genocide of the Jews, it will be western liberals who would be guilty of paving the way.

As to the liberals contention that Stone isn’t an anti-Semite, these are people who scream accusations of “racism”, “islamophobia”, “homophobia” at the slightest criticism of their favored “victimized” groups.

And as to Hollywood’s defense of Stone, these are people who rallied around the child rapist Roman Polanski, so why would they have a problem with a rabid anti-Semite?

The Left is Fascist….and as antisemetic as any Muslim.

Confronting Jew Hatred on Daily Kos: Are They Nazis?

The Left are fascist cowards


by Michael Lumis

Well, no. Of course, they are not Nazis. That is, they are not members of the National Socialist German Workers Party (that’s not quite possible, now is it?) nor are they modern day Neo-Nazi white supremacists. They are, for the most part, leftists who claim to hate war, favor environmental regulation, women’s rights, gay rights, and the entire hodge-podge of issues, including an anti-racist agenda, that makes up what we call the “progressive movement.”

And, yet, on the foremost website devoted to electing Democrats, with over 250,000 registered users, they allow a malicious and vocal minority to drive the Israel-Palestine discussion in such a way as to create hatred, and thus violence, toward Jews. As if that’s not bad enough in itself, they also do...

Quote for the Week

    “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.”

    (Albert Einstein 1879-1955. )

· There aren’t that many ladies around who have had heart transplants, still fewer have had transplants and then had babies and even fewer, five worldwide to be exact, have had twins. Well, we have a proud new mother and her two daughters, one weighing in at 1.5 and the other at 2 kilos [3.3 and 4.4lbs respectively] right here in Israel and mother and babies are doing well. Of the four previous instances two were in the US, one was in France and another in Italy. The major problem facing the doctors is determining the balance of immune-suppressant drugs taken by the mother – enough to protect her heart from rejection but not enough to harm the babies. The doctors did what they had to, the...

OCID….OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE ISRAEL DISORDER

New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman wrote in an oft-quoted line that: “Criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic, and saying so is vile. But singling out Israel for opprobrium and international sanction–out of all proportion to any other party in the Middle Eas –is anti-Semitic, and not saying so is dishonest.” The simple solution for peace in the Middle East may be for Israel to change its name to Norway.

Arabs prefer to live in Israel


Jew-Baiting From Democrats

Laura: The democrats are increasingly being exposed as the party of hate. They are becoming more comfortable expressing overt anti-Semitism since this appeals to their base of radical leftists, racial minorities and the increasing influence of muslims in the party. They do this with the confidence that they will still receive the Jewish vote. Will the American Jewish community finally acquire enough self-respect to turn their backs on the democratic party which has betrayed them and become home to anti-Semites and other assorted freaks; America-haters, jihadis and communists?
