The Rights of Indigenous Peoples: JINSA Report #1048 The intent is purportedly to protect people like Native Americans and Aboriginal Australians against exploitation and denial of rights by the majority culture. In fact, it represents a breathtaking invasion of the sovereignty of any nation that contains a subculture that defines itself as ‘indigenous’. The declaration has a long preamble and 46 articles. It does not contain a definition of ‘indigenous’, because According to the Chairperson, Ms. Erica Irene Daes, Rapporteur of the Working Group, this was because “historically, indigenous peoples have suffered, from definitions imposed by... Negotiators push surrender of territory twice used to invade Jewish state By Aaron Klein © 2010 WorldNetDaily GOLAN HEIGHTS, UNSPECIFIED – APRIL 29: Israeli soldiers make their way along a mountain path during a training march on April 29, 2010 in the Golan Heights, the disputed strategic volcanic plateau Israel captured from the Syrians in the 1967 Six Day War.

Israeli diplomat ambushed by NY Times staff The New York Times, flagship of the liberal American media, has never been a friend of the Jewish state. But the newspaper’s aversion to Israel turned to open hostility this month when its top editors ambushed and tore into an unsuspecting senior official from the Israeli Consulate in New York City. The Israeli official was invited by the Times editors, among them rabid columnist Thomas Friedman, to meet with them at their office. Being a veteran at dealing with the American media, the official assumed the invitation was for a friendly discussion and perhaps an interview regarding the peace process and other matters of importance to Israel. As the meeting started, the Times editors – most of them Jews, and one of them a former Israeli – began to attack the Israeli diplomat, and refused to give him even a moment to respond. They blamed Israel...

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report Palestinian leaders in Ramallah, including Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayad, are sunk in gloom over what they perceive as US President Barak Obama repudiation of his promises to them and greater sympathy for the Netanyahu government’s side of the Middle East dispute. They also see a spreading push in Europe, the Arab countries and Moscow for them to bite the bullet and reconcile themselves to partial or interim accords, since no feasible solutions are visible on the outstanding core issues of borders, refugees and Jerusalem. 1. It declines to endorse former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s 2007 pledge that borders of a future Palestinian state would be “very close to the 1967 boundaries.” US officials... by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu, INN (Israelnationalnews.com) A Jordan Valley Arab farmer has exposed the tactic of leftists accepting Arab claims and falsely accusing Jews of attacking Arabs. He admitted that the “burning sheep” libel against Jews was meant to disguise his own blunder of losing control of a brush fire. Last week, left-wing groups in Israel and counterparts in the United States spread a story that that an Arab shepherd “saw settlers light a fire in the field where his herd was grazing, burning to death 12 pregnant ewes, and then drive away.” The story of the sheep burning was so extreme that the police immediately doubted the claim. The supposed burning of the sheep occurred on the Sabbath, when observant Jews, the usual scapegoats, are forbidden to drive. Laura: Not only has the 57 member OIC hijacked the UN and its agenda, they are now set to take control of the internet. We have the Obama administration to thank for this as it is all too willing to surrender America’s sovereignty, freedom and very way of life to the jihadists, terror states and dictatorships around the world. He is obsessed with redistributing our wealth and our power as well. All nations of the world cannot be treated equally and be allowed to have an equal say in international affairs since certain nations are not morally equivalent to America and the west. This is the danger of the liberal mindset. Islamic Supremacists Target a Takeover of the Internet Pam Geller, Atlas shrugs Back in October 2009, I warned of a seismic transformation in internet regulation and free speech.

By Ted Belman Israel has made a switch from concessions based diplomacy (its about time) to security based diplomacy. So I was informed when I attended a panel discussion in Jerusalem which was organized byHadar-Israel. The panelists included Maj-Gen (ret) Amidror, Maj. Gen. (res) Uzi Dayan and Amb Dore Gold. It was chaired by Dan Diker. It was a great evening. These people are at the top of their game and know what they are talking about. Amidror focused on rejecting an international force as our security blanket arguing that the last thing Israel needs is for American soldiers to go home in coffins. Besides only the IDF will fight the terrorists in defense of Israel. History teaches us this. Dayan dealt with our need for defensible...US endorses absurd postcolonialist resolution
In 2007, the UN General Assembly passed resolution 61/295, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

In this context he dropped a bomb. He made it absolutely clear that Israel was not asking the US to bomb Iran. How did he know? “We’re making plans to do it ourselves”. No way did he want Israel to seen in need of US protection.
