Jews are moving into east Jerusalem in the Holy Basin

Ted Belman. I met Arieh King in Sheik Jarrad today along with other journalists. He is buying up property in the Holy Basin and moving Jews in. He is also buying land and housing using an Arab straw man who then gets a permit and builds ultimately for the Jewish beneficial owners. Both are fully legal and get around the “freeze”.

Jerusalem’s best-laid plans
In addition to the settler homes sprouting up in abundance in and around East Jerusalem, there are innumerable plans in the offing by right-wing and other elements that threaten the Palestinian population. A sobering portrait in advance of Jerusalem Day next week
By Nir Hasson, Amos Harel and Nir Hasson, HAARETZ

While he was conducting intensive negotiations with the Bush administration on the “road map,” then-prime minister Ariel Sharon often invited over his friend Ze’ev Hever (Zambish ), who at the time was secretary general of the Amana settlement movement, and is seen by many as the...

Your enemy of your enemy is not always your friend

Be gleeful about banning the burka? Not so fast

By Jonathan Rosenblum Jewish World Review

Conflicted?

How should religious Jews react to the ban on the pubic wearing of the burka (a full-length garment with only tiny, mesh-covered slits for the eyes) recently passed by the French parliament and currently under consideration in other European countries? Answer: with profound ambivalence.

Women who wear the burka — or, in some cases, their husbands or fathers, who demand that they do so — view the burka as a religious obligation.

Religious Jews have always favored an approach which places a high burden upon the state to justify legal burdens on the performance of religious obligations. When the U.S. Supreme Court’s began to interpret the Free Exercise Clause of the U.S. Constitution, to give great deference to state statutes, as long as those statutes are neutral on their face, religious groups lobbied hard for the Freedom of Religion Restoration Act. The RFRA...

We can now marry a sheep!

WHAT’S WRONG WITH KOENIGS ARGUMENT? ….Why does society offer benefits and privileges to families? Not because families tend to have sex often—otherwise extra-marital relations would be similarly protected. Not to encourage warm feelings—otherwise the companionship of good old buddies who spend evenings in pubs would be protected too. Societies protect families because G-d said, Be fruitful and multiply. Societies support families because families produce children who form societies. That’s why single mothers are also supported. Unlike cabbage, same-sex pals do not reproduce and cannot claim subsidies and tax cuts intended for families. Gay unions need no statutory regulation like the institution of marriage; gays who wish to have sex on a regular basis could regulate their committed relationship via contract.

If gay marriage is permitted, there is no formal reason to prohibit other non-conventional marriages. Why can’t a father marry his daughter? Why can’t...

Obama’s Stealth Revolution*

Prof. Paul Eidelberg

Pamela Geller’s The Post-American Presidency reveals that America has been systematically penetrated by countless Muslim organizations. Their proliferation, like the proliferation of mosques, is a cancer that has metastasized. Many of these organizations and mosques are funded by Saudi Arabia and Iran. They operate in all sectors of American society and government. Many are connected with terrorist organizations, including the Muslim Brotherhood, whose ultimate goal is the Islamization of America and the destruction of Israel.

Weeding out these subversive elements is rendered all the more difficult by the constraints of the First Amendment and American civil rights which Muslims know how to exploit to America’s detriment. What makes this task virtually impossible is the man in the White House. Obama’s Leftist and Muslim appointees are well placed in the executive and judicial branches of government. A stealth revolution is occurring in...

The ACLU is Treasonous

Laura: The ACLU has gone beyond falsely claiming that captured terrorists have the right to civilian trials here in America, they are now fighting to prevent the American military from targeting and killing terrorists on the battlefield. These people are sick and should actually be tried for treason. The article also provides a background on the ACLU, which was founded by self-professed communists with the express purpose of overthrowing the American system under the guise of civil liberties. The goal of the ACLU has not changed from its origins.

The Day the ACLU Joined Al Queda

Daniel Greenfield, The Sultan Knish

December 1944. American artillery near the Belgian village of Losheim opens fire on advancing German troops during the Battle of the Bulge. Suddenly a jeep pulls up and a lawyer jumps out waving a piece of paper. “Stop what you’re doing immediately! I represent Obersturmführer Gunther Stoltz down there, and I have an order...

Alleged murder plot rocks cash-for-gold rivalry

Elderly female employee of Harold the Jewellery Buyer allegedly targeted rival jeweller in murder plot

Toronto Police have charged a 71-year-old woman in connection with a bizarre plot to put an alleged hit on a prominent jeweller.

The cast of characters is as unlikely as could be imagined, including, of course, the alleged elderly mastermind herself, two Orthodox Jews and an ex-mixed martial arts fighter, hit man with a conscience, who purportedly confessed all to the intended target and subsequently gave police a lengthy videotaped statement.

The fantastic plot allegedly revolves around two rivals in the increasingly cutthroat and lucrative “cash-for-gold” business where, with gold hovering at $1,200 per Troy ounce, potential profits are so huge that even the venerable Canadian jewellery retailer Birks last year entered the business...

A breach in the dam……THE EU IS IN SELF DESTRUCT MODE

Will Europe take America down with her or will the coming American economic collapse finish off Europe?

What seems obviously certain both America and Europe will collapse sooner than later. Yamit

Something which is finally going to blow apart the vile construct that is the European Union is just beginning to emerge.

This is the news, offered fairly low-key at the moment, that EU member states are exploiting passport loopholes that potentially give nearly five million outsiders, mostly from Europe’s poorest countries, the coveted right to live and work in the EU.

And, of course, once they are inside the EU borders, they have freedom of movement and, eventually, unrestricted freedom of establishment. This means they can come over here and sponge off the over-generous welfare system which seems to favour immigrants above all else.

Now this is being given the Daily Mail treatment, and it is obvious that The Boy can do absolutely nothing about it, for all the bleating about...
