The original was this anti-Fatah cartoon created by Hamas. This illustrates that propaganda material can, like artillery on a battlefield, be turned easily against its original owner with devastating effectiveness. Click here to view the embedded video. The depiction of violent rats with a Palestinian flag (later a skull and crossbones) was all we needed, and the burning books and demolished (by Palestinians) mosque were a welcome bonus. The depiction of Hamas as a brave lion fighting the Fatah rats was of course edited out completely. This is so weird. Apparently both Saudi Arabia and the US want this. How does this weaken Abbas. For sure it weakens Abdullah. How can the US believe that Mashaal would be easier to deal with than Abbas? Really weird. The US could just cut funds to Abbas. Or if Obama thinks that is too destabilizing, he could always support Israel’s right to the settlement blocs and come out against the right of return as Bush did. That he would never do. What about moving to Gaza? Ted Belman Egypt has warned the U.S. not to pass a new Senate bill that aims to suspend military aid until Egypt certifies its full functions as a democracy, the Washington Post reported on Friday. According to the report, 1.3 billion dollars in aid for 2012 will be suspended until Egypt holds democratic elections and guarantees civil liberties. Claudia Rosset discloses that the US pays $7 Billion/year to the UN and that, Yet the chief effort currently on the table to reform the UN — Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen’s “United Nations Transparency, Accountability and Reform Act of 2011? — is playing in Washington as an utterly partisan issue. There are so far 98 co-sponsors for this bill, and not a single Democrat among them. Why’s that? The Hill reports that according to Rose-Lehtinen, the Obama administration is telling Democrats to stay away from her bill. The bill seeks to clean up the UN by revamping some of its financial incentives — basically proposing to condition a substantial share of U.S. money on UN performance. This would include potentially withholding some of the assessed dues with which the UN General Assembly bankrolls its self-approved and ever-expanding budgets, for which the U.S. dutifully pays 22%. The administration’s argument against this approach takes the line that if America stops... Europe’s support for unconditional negotiations is phony because they keep demanding negotiations to be based on ’67 borders. For that matter even recognizing the legitimacy of a state is both predetermining the outcome and setting a pre-condition. Israel should not tolerate such interference. She should tell the EU and Turkey where to get off. Israel owes EU nothing. The PA on the other hand gets 500 million from them. They should make demands on the PA. Ted Belman “The right of Palestinians to self-determination and to have their own state is unquestionable, as is the right of Israel to exist within safe borders”, the resolution said. The European Parliament also reiterated its endorsement of the 1967 borders as a basis for negotiations, stressing that “no changes to the pre-1967 borders, including with regard to... Op-ed: US president abrogating the right of Jews to live wherever they want in Israel Giulio Meotti, YNET By seeking to force Israel to cease building houses in Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem, Barack Obama is legitimizing the Islamist zeal for the eviction of 300,000 Jews who live in parts of Jerusalem that were illegally occupied by Jordan between 1948 and 1967. Obama’s administration just blasted Israel for the new homes to be built in Gilo, a Jerusalem neighborhood where 40,000 Israelis live. For 19 horrible years, Jordanians and Palestinians controlled the neighborhoods now under Obama’s attack. Jews were summarily expelled. Property was seized. The historic synagogues of the walled enclave were gutted, trashed, some turned into makeshift barns. Obama’s de-legitimization of Jerusalem’s post-1967 neighborhoods is nothing less than a renewed “Judenrein” (empty of Jews) policy. To decide, as a matter of policy, not to endorse the building of Jewish homes within... Rumsfeld was interviewed on al Jazeera and said, Responding to a question on his previous reported comments about the ‘imperfectly’ named War on Terror, Mr. Rumsfeld described radical Islam as a danger equal to the way that “extremism in Christianity or extremism in Judaism is a danger.” He went on to question the effectiveness of the war, admitting that “we are not competing in that competition of ideas very successfully.” Fundamentalist Islam: Killing Jesus Again and Again and Again! Copying and circulation of this picture is encouraged noting that the original is in the public domain due to age. As reported by Iran’s religious judges have sentenced pastor Youcef Nadarkhani to be hanged for being a Christian. “Facing Execution for the ‘Crime’ of Being a Christian In Iran” has more about this. If militant Muslims have a phobia about Crusades, they seem to do everything possible to make another one by the world’s infidels reasonable, necessary, and in fact desirable. In any event, noting their efforts to incite hatred of Jews by portraying Jews as “Christ Killers,” the above picture is payback, truth for falsehood and with compound interest.Palestinians Apply for UN Membership

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report September 30, 2011,
Washington has played a strong card against Mahmoud Abbas’ push for UN acceptance of a Palestinian state and his playing hard to get for resumed peace talks. After some arm-twisting, Jordan’s King Abdullah agreed to let his main rival, the radical Hamas political leader, Khaled Meshaal, visit Amman. The Hamas leader arrived Wednesday, Sept. 29, for the second time since he and the entire Hamas leadership were expelled from the kingdom 12 years...

According to the source, the U.S. officials “know the value of the partnership between the United States and Egypt and how much such conditions and language would be detrimental to future cooperation.”

Editorial of The New York Sun
The next drama at the United Nations is going to involve a clash between two women. One is the American permanent representative at the world body, Ambassador Susan Rice, who is known around Turtle Bay as the ambassador of the United Nations to the United States. The other is the Florida Republican recently elevated to the chairmanship of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who has been pushing to reform — and, in effect, to reduce — American payments to the institution, whose efforts in recent years have largely focused on isolating the state of Israel.
This is being brought to a head by the refusal of the United Nations budget writers to accede to any significant job cuts and to propose instead huge raises for its staff of international civil servants. The United Nations has been pushing such a budget in...
