DANIEL GREENFIELD: HOW I BECAME A HATE GROUP

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/

When I went to sleep last night, little did I know that while outside sirens competed with car alarms in the symphony that is New York City, I had already been declared a hate group.

Being declared a hate group wasn’t in my plans for the day, but like winning the lottery, it seems to be one of those things that happens when you least expect it. Except that as the little bald man in front of the bodega tells you, you have to play to win, but you don’t even have to buy a ticket to be declared an official hate group.

My first response on finding out that I was now a hate group was to look around to see where everyone else was. A hate group needs the group part and one man and a cat don’t seem to be enough. Even when the cat is a well known bigot who hates mice, birds, car alarms that go off in the middle of the night, the plumber and sudden noises.

Still the Southern Poverty Law Center had listed, “Sultan Knish a blog by Daniel Greenfield” as one of their Active Anti-Muslim Hate Groups, alongside such other vast organizations as “Faith Freedom”, a website for ex-Muslims, and “Casa D’Ice Signs”, the signs on a bar located on K-Mart Plaza in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

ED LASKY: THE COMMERCIALS THAT OBAMA FEARS

http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/03/coming_soon_the_commercials_that_obama_fears.html President Obama knows that every public statement he makes is recorded and lives forever on the internet.  That is cause for serious worry.  The best campaign ad to run against Obama is one that uses his own words — and those of the officials he has empowered — against him.  When it comes to […]

ISRAEL TO BE BARACKSTABBED AGAIN? JESSICA RUBIN

http://www.americanthinker.com/printpage/?url=http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/03/israel_to_be_barackstabbed_again.html In his meeting with Netanyahu at the White House after his AIPAC speech, Obama assured Netanyahu, “The United States will always have Israel’s back when it comes to Israel’s security.” That should worry those who think that Israel has the right to exist. In the 2008 campaign Obama adopted a pro-Israel stance. He staunchly […]

APPEASEMENT LOSES: VINCENT GIOIA

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.11601/pub_detail.asp
During the past decade the civilized world has experienced the same Islamic threat to survival that it was exposed to centuries ago, but the danger of destruction and success of the insane ideology is substantially greater. No longer do the Islamists just use scepters and knives to kill and enslave disagreeable Muslims and non-Muslims, they now have advanced arms and human bombs, with weapons of mass destruction looming on the horizon.

Much of the world struggles with the question of how to defeat Islamic tyranny, while others insist on ignoring the lessons of history and try to mollify Islam with appeasement in one form or another. Appeasement doesn’t work; world history is replete with examples. No amount of appeasing Hitler prevented a world war and the Holocaust. Giving in to Stalin’s quest for communist world domination didn’t stop the expansion of communist ideology and enslavement of large numbers of people. Appeasement by ignoring brutal treatment in Southeast Asia only led to killing of millions of people just as it has in Africa. And appeasing Castro by failing to assist brave men who sought to overthrow his dictatorship has left an entire country of people who don’t remember what it is like to live in freedom.

HERBERT LONDON: SOVEREIGNTY AND SUZERAINTY IN THE U.S.-ISRAEL RELATIONSHIP

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.11594,css.print/pub_detail.asp
The recent Obama-Netanyahu conclave has evoked a jamboree of media speculation. Will Israel act unilaterally to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities? Does the Obama administration really have Israel’s back as the president indicated? And where is that “red line,” the point at which an attack must occur to prevent an Iran with “secure” nuclear weapons? Despite all the diplomatic bonhomie, and announcements of solidarity, questions remain – questions fraught with uncomfortable implications.

U.S. officials made it clear that President Obama will not go beyond the broad policy enunciated in the past: that the United States is committed to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon through diplomacy and sanctions and, as a last resort, force. Here too equivocation prevails. Secretary of Defense Panetta has indicated a reluctance to apply military force in this matter, and questioned the effectiveness of an Israeli strike, a position adopted by others in the administration.

BRUCE KESLER: UNCERTAINTY AN EXCUSE FOR OBAMA INACTION IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Uncertainty Is An Excuse For Obama Inaction In Middle East

Hundreds of articles analyze whether the US should or not take a stronger stand vis a vis Syria or Iran. The articles usually increase uncertainty among readers. In the absence of complete information as to all the players’ goals and means or perfect knowledge beforehand about the outcomes, the reader is understandably confused or paralyzed by doubts. Indeed, that seems the purpose of many analyses and comments by officials.

It is impossible to know with certainty in advance the effect and outcomes of the many variables and responses possible. So, uncertainty is natural. But, uncertainty does not require indecisiveness nor excuse inaction.

VICTOR SHARPE: JUST ONE BOMB

http://www.renewamerica.com/ The silence in the mainstream media was deafening. Silence about what? Well simply put. The Palestinians launched a massive missile barrage against southern Israeli cities, towns and villages. These communities endured for several days a barrage from the Gaza Strip of well over 200 lethal missiles aimed deliberately by Palestinian terrorists at Israeli civilian […]
