RUTHIE BLUM: TALKING PEACE AND WAGING WAR

http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=1723 Ben-Gurion airport will be particularly busy on Sunday, and not only due to end-of-Pesach traffic. In anticipation of the pro-Palestinian “flightilla” scheduled to bring hundreds of activists to Israel’s shores – this time via the sky rather than the sea – the police and other security forces might just end up outnumbering the rest […]

DANIEL GREENFIELD: ON SLAVERY AND FREEDOM

From Slavery to Freedom http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ As another Passover comes to an end and the cycle of the year continues its brief spin, the echoes of “Once we were slaves and now we are free” and “Next year in Jerusalem” fade into the background noise of everyday life. We can board a plane tomorrow and fly […]

DANIEL GREENFIELD: ON GEORGE ZIMMERMAN

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/

Andy Warhol predicted that in the future everyone would be world-famous for 15 minutes. What he neglected to mention was that they were just as likely to be infamous.

Zimmerman had decorated his flyers and website with the famous quotation attributed to Edmund Burke, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good men do nothing.” His activities reveal a man who took those words to heart, who put his time, money and safety on the line to become one of those good men who do something. But the problem was that Zimmerman had been reading Burke, when he should have been reading Kafka.

MARSHALL WEISS: THE KOSHER COOK ON THE TITANIC…..VERY INTERESTING….SEE NOTE

http://www.timesofisrael.com/the-kosher-cook-who-went-down-with-the-titanic/

EVERY STORY HAS A JEWISH ANGLE….EVEN 100 YEARS LATER SO DOES THE TITANIC….RSK

The ocean liner, which sank 100 years ago today, boasted a kosher meals service complete with separate utensils, rabbinical inspection, and a chef named Charles Kennell
Of the 2,225 people aboard Titanic on its maiden voyage, 1,512 perished in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic when the ship went down in the early hours of April 15, 1912.

Charles Kennell was among the nearly 700 crew members to die that night. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, the 30-year-old Kennell signed on to the White Star Line’s Titanic on April 4, 1912. He listed his address as 6 Park View, Southampton, the port city in southeast England from which the Titanic would embark.

Kennell had already served on the Titanic’s sister ship, the Olympic, which took its maiden voyage in 1911. Now he came aboard the larger, more luxurious Titanic for wages of four pounds a month. Kennell was the ship’s “Hebrew cook.” The Titanic had kosher food service.

Midway through the great wave of Eastern European Jewish immigration to America — which brought two million Jews to the United States between 1881 and 1924 — major passenger lines crossing the Atlantic began instituting kosher food service for their Jewish passengers, mainly immigrants in third-class steerage.

“DIVERSITY”: THEY DRIVE US OUT AND WE INVITE THEM IN BY PETER MARTINO

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3015/islam-diversity-france

Islamic countries have become more Islamic because of a deliberate policy that drives non-Muslims out; non-Islamic countries have become more Islamic because of a deliberate policy that invites Muslims in and ensures that they feel in no way hindered or upset.

Islam. the elephant in the room of European politicians on both the Left and the Right, recently became a concern again when French President Nicolas Sarkozy angered the family of Abel Chennouf — a 25-year old corporal of the French army, who murdered by the terrorist Mohammed Merah because he was wearing a French army uniform — by suggesting that Chennouf, a Catholic, was murdered because he “appeared to be a Muslim.”

Chennouf and a colleague were shot by the Islamic jihadist,Mohammed Merah, in Montauban on March 15, four days before Merah assassinated a rabbi and three Jewish children in Toulouse. In an attempt to absolve Islam from having inspired Merah to commit his terrorist acts, Sarkozy tried to emphasize that some of Merah’s victims were killed because they “looked like” Muslims.

MICHAEL DEVOLIN; ANTI-ZIONISM….A FORTIFIED STUPIDITY

Anti-Zionism: A Fortified Stupidity By Michael Devolin

Stephen Vizinczey wrote, “Strange as it seems, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and higher education positively fortifies it.” When I first read this quotation, I was at once reminded of the sophisticated –and by now commonplace– hatreds that have been directed against the State of Israel and those courageous Jews who dwell therein. These hatreds, once seized upon, can fester fast, and be disseminated as truth even faster. And believe it or not, those who should know better, those who boast of intellect and morality, are more often than not found to be at the forefront of this character assassination of Jews and their Judaism (which, by definition, includes a Jewish state). And no amount of placation, not even the weight of truth, can dissuade these anti-Zionists from their odious obsession.

STEVEN PLAUT: THE “FLYTILLA” THAT NEVER WAS

Well the “Flytilla” of pro-terrorism anarcho-fascists and Hitler
Youth pretty much was halted in their airport espresso lounges
yesterday. Only a handful of the gutternsnipes made it into Israel.
Unfortunately, the government did not take my advice of shipping those
into Gaza and then refusing ever to let them leave. The women
“anarchists” could stay in Gaza and find work as comfort girls.

The big story seems to be the IDF colonel who hit a Danish
guttersnipe in the face with the butt of his rifle. The anarchists
videotaped the incident and edited out what CAUSED the colonel to
strike the guttersnipe. Well, now we know. The colonel, who is
religious, has a long track record of keeping order and staying calm
in the face of “anarchist” provocations. So what set him off? The
Danish guttersnipe struck him violently and broke several of the
colonel’s fingers. This is not shown in the anarchist edited
videotape. That full story is here:

TOULOUSE “LA ROSE” IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH? NIDRA POLLER

http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/04/toulouse_la_rose_in_the_shadow_of_death.html

March 11, Toulouse: parachutist Imad Ibn Zlaten, 30 years old, is shot dead by a lone gunman on a motor scooter.

March 15, Montauban: parachutists Abel Chennouf, 25, and Mohamed Legouade 23, are shot dead by a lone gunman on a motor scooter. The critically wounded survivor, parachutist Loïc Liber, may be tetraplegiac.

March 19, Toulouse, Ozar Hatorah day school: Rabbi Yonathan Sandler, 30, his sons Aryeh, 6, and Gabriel, 3, and Miriam Monsonego, 7, are shot dead by a lone gunman on a motor scooter. Brian Aaron Bijaoui, 15, critically wounded as he protected other pupils, left the hospital on April 12th to continue a long convalescence at home in Nice.

March 22, Toulouse: murderer Mohamed Merah is killed in a shootout with the RAID commandos.

The state of alert in southwest France is subsequently lowered. As if Merah were a one-time phenomenon.

How do we close the gap? How do we connect the public mind to the massive evidence of 21st-century jihad strategy revealed since 9/11? Democratic societies cannot defend citizens against Islamic jihad without popular consensus — the informed will of the people.

The jihad assassination in Toulouse and Montauban of three soldiers, a rabbi, and several Jewish children shocked French society. Could this be the tipping point, where a European country begins to push back against Islamization? Or is it, as many jihad-savvy commentators have concluded, a flash in the pan?
