RUTHFULLY YOURS

http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2012/07/david-singer-on-palestine-mandate-as.html
Here’s Sydney lawyer and international affairs analyst David Singer’s latest article via the antipodean J-Wire service. It’s entitled “Palestine – Jews and Arabs, the Mandate and the Law”.
The Levy Commission’s resurrection of the Mandate for Palestine as the legal title deed establishing Israel’s entitlement to claim sovereignty in the West Bank has come 48 years after the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) first tried to bury it.

A member of the Levy Commission – Alan Baker – stated this week that the three Commissioners were:

“legal experts examining a legal situation and making legally oriented recommendations.”

Two short statements made by the PLO in 1964 and 1968 had attempted to negate the unanimous decision of the League of Nations in 1922 to grant the Mandate for Palestine to Great Britain to enable the Jewish people to reconstitute the Jewish National Home in any part of former Palestine.

Those statements also became the opening shots in an ongoing and concerted Arab campaign of misinformation and disinformation to denigrate and vilify the Jewish People’s entitlement to its own state in its ancient and biblical homeland. They provide potent evidence to explain why the conflict between Arabs and Jews still remains unresolved in 2012.

The first statement – in 1964 – appeared in Article 18 of the Palestinian National Covenant :

“The Balfour Declaration, the Mandate system and all that have been based upon them are considered fraud”

The second – in 1968 – followed the loss of the West Bank by Jordan to Israel in the 1967 Six Day War.

ISRAEL’S MEDICAL ACHIEVEMENTS

Protein that stops cells dying. Prof. Assaf Friedler of the Hebrew University and Prof. Atan Gross of the Weizmann Institute have discovered a peptide tBID that is key to cell death. They have also been able to mimic tBID’s behaviour with another peptide MTCH2, which “could lead to new approaches to treating cancer.”

Gino Bartali was a modest man who, during World War II, helped save 800 Jews from death.

Gino Bartali, the legendary Tuscan Italian cyclist who died in 2000 and is acclaimed in his home country of Italy, but less well known internationally, is a heroic figure, not only in his sport, but even more outside of it, as documented in a recent biography.

Bartali’s greatest sporting feats as a cyclist were to win the Tour de France twice, in 1938 at the age of 24, and in 1948, and the Giro d’Italia three times. His skill as a cyclist was widely admired, especially for his winning three consecutive mountain stages of the Tour in 1948, a feat that remained unequalled until Mario Cipollini’s four consecutive sprints in 1999.

However Bartali is even more worthy of admiration for his heroic wartime activity. More deadly than the Italian cycling rivalry between Bartali and Fausto Coppini — with the country divided into “bartalini” and “coppini” adherents — was the wartime division between fascists and partisans. Bartoli, an active member of Catholic Action and a Tertiary of the Carmelites, kept his distance from Fascist authorities and refused to dedicate his cycling triumphs to Mussolini as the Duce expected.

Anthony Watts delivers devastating scientific blow to Muller’s claims: ‘New analysis demonstrates that reported 1979-2008 U.S. temp trends are spuriously doubled’

Climatologist Dr. Pielke Sr. on Watts’ ‘Game Changer New Paper’: ‘Muller’s conclusion regarding the robustness of the BEST analysis is refuted in the same day as his op-ed appeared’ — ‘Anthony Watt’s new paper shows that a major correction is needed Muller’s BEST study. Anthony also has shown what dedicated scientists can do with even limited financial support. Despite the large quantities of funds spent on the BEST study, it is Anthony Watts and his team who have actually significantly advanced our understanding of this aspect of the climate system’

Watts new study: ‘Half of the warming trend has gone. 92% of artificial rise was due to ‘erroneous adjustments of well sited stations’ — ‘Muller et al used an older siting classification system. The new classification system shows that siting does have a major impact on the data’

Warmist David Appell: Where BEST Should Have Stopped: ‘Attributing climate is more like figuring out the structure of DNA than it is like figuring out the laws of quantum mechanics simple curve-fitting doesn’t cut it. In fact, it makes you look kind of foolish’

Full text of Mitt Romney’s address in Jerusalem

Republican presidential candidate delivers speech to prominent Israelis and donors under the auspices of The Jerusalem Foundation
Thank you for that kind introduction, Mayor Barkat, and thank you all for that warm welcome. It’s a pleasure and a privilege to be in Israel again.

To step foot into Israel is to step foot into a nation that began with an ancient promise made in this land. The Jewish people persisted through one of the most monstrous crimes in human history, and now this nation has come to take its place among the most impressive democracies on earth. Israel’s achievements are a wonder of the modern world.

These achievements are a tribute to the resilience of the Israeli people. You have managed, against all odds, time and again throughout your history, to persevere, to rise up, and to emerge stronger.

The historian Paul Johnson, writing on the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Jewish state, said that over the course of Israel’s life, 100 completely new independent states had come into existence. “Israel is the only one whose creation can fairly be called a miracle,” Johnson wrote.

It is a deeply moving experience to be in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel.

Our two nations are separated by more than 5,000 miles. But for an American abroad, you can’t get much closer to the ideals and convictions of my own country than you do in Israel. We’re part of the great fellowship of democracies. We speak the same language of freedom and justice, and the right of every person to live in peace. We serve the same cause and provoke the same hatreds in the same enemies of civilization.

It is my firm conviction that the security of Israel is in the vital national security interest of the United States. And ours is an alliance based not only on shared interests but also on enduring shared values.

In those shared values, one of the strongest voices is that of your prime minister, my friend Benjamin Netanyahu. I met with him earlier this morning and I look forward to my family joining his this evening as they observe the close of this fast day of Tisha B’Av.

Dennis Ross was launched by James Baker in the first Bush White House (father) and stayed on during the Clinton years happily pummeling Israel into accepting any terms the Arabs presented. He also squired terrorists to Congress in 2003. He is despicable. Read:

http://archive.frontpagemag.com/Printable.aspx?ArtId=15783

“During his eight-year tenure as the special Middle East coordinator during the Clinton administration, from 1993 to 2001, Ross acted as the salesman of Clinton’s Middle East “peace package” to the world. It would seem that Ross continues to do so, as he spent the better part of Monday and Tuesday escorting his “guests” to meet leading congressmen and congressional aides and Middle East policy makers. The height of Ross’s visit was the meeting that Ross organized for the leaders of the Fatah Tanzim with David Satterfield, the Deputy Asst. Secretary of State.”

Friday Afternoon Roundup – London Bridge is Falling Down
ROMNEY IN LONDON

This entire mini-affair is an example of the rules we are playing by. Scandals will be manufactured and transformed into narratives in the blink of an eye. A Republican candidate either has to be completely robotic or so charismatic and natural that no one cares about any of the attacks made against him.

The narrative is that Romney’s London trip is full of gaffes. The reality is that Romney simply commented on actual events. The same events being covered widely in the same British newspapers playing up the story.

“It’s hard to know just how well it will turn out,” Romney told NBC. “There are a few things that were disconcerting. The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials… that obviously is not something which is encouraging.”

Obviously when you have to dispatch thousands of soldiers to fill in for a hole in your security that is not a good sign and there’s a long list of problems with the London Olympics.

For that matter here’s a story from the Washington Post from ten days ago hitting on the same theme.

“Ten days to the Games — what could go wrong?” a sarcastic headline in Britain’s Guardian newspaper asked Tuesday. The answer, as this Olympic host nation has discovered, is: Quite a lot.

Even as athletes begin arriving in London for the 2012 Summer Games, Olympic organizers are coming under fire over bungled security staffing and other issues that have prompted the British media and opposition lawmakers to already declare the event a “fiasco.”

This is much stronger language than Romney used.

Romney is a candidate making a global trip to show off his diplomatic skills, so he probably should not have commented on the problems with the London Olympics… then again Obama should probably not have compared his bad bowling to the Special Olympics.

London Mayor Boris Johnson attacked Romney to warm up the crowd, which is understandable, this is the sort of thing that local politicians do. Prime Minister Cameron however reacted in a way that truly is a gaffe.

“We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world,” the prime minister said. “Of course it’s easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere.”

That’s a rather stupid thing to say considering that he may have to deal with a President Romney next year and it’s not as if Romney had set anything offensive about England. Salt Lake City is a good deal smaller than London, it’s about the size of York, but dragging them into a completely unnecessary fight is much worse diplomacy.

Johnson and Cameron welcomed a chance to turn from domestic criticism to xenophobia and the liberal media has hysterically seized on the opportunity. And yet despite all the screams of “Gaffe”, no one can quite explain the gaffe.

Here’s the narrative…

Elevating his tendency for gaffes to the international stage, Mr Romney said that because of concerns about security, it was “hard to know just how well it will turn out”.

…but where’s the gaffe? There isn’t one. Just a credible statement of opinion widely reflected in the same papers attacking him for that gaffe.

And this is the same treatment that has been prepped for Romney in every country he visits. Molehills will be turned into mountains and the same will scream GAFFE GAFFE GAFFE until it’s hoarse.

(…side note to Brits. If this were being held in New York or Chicago, the way Bloomberg and Obama wanted, I’m sure it would have ended up a complete mess.)
