http://www.thecommentator.com/article/1050/george_galloway_s_win_is_mainstream_politics_loss There are fewer things in life that are more depressing than seeing George Galloway’s smug face after winning an election. Yet this is the reality after Galloway managed to convince 55.9 percent of those who voted in Bradford West to vote for him, despite his past stint as the Respect MP in Bethnal Green […]

Pressures mount on Mali junta as rebels, Islamists advance
Mali’s embattled coup leader Captain Amadou Sanogo on Friday asked for help to halt advancing Tuareg rebels and Islamist fighters who seized another key northern town from overwhelmed soldiers. The appeal came after the 15-nation regional bloc, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), on Thursday threatened a “diplomatic and financial embargo” unless constitutional order is restored within 72 hours.

Obama proposal would benefit 1 million illegal immigrants
The Obama administration is proposing to make it easier for illegal immigrants who are immediate family members of American citizens to apply for permanent residency, a move that could affect as many as 1 million of the estimated 11 million immigrants living here illegally. The proposal is the latest move by the administration to use its executive powers to revise immigration procedures without changing the law. Read more…

There’s nothing revelatory about the fact that contemporary Judaism keeps drifting towards the notion that this is primarily a religion about social justice with its tikkun olam banner now more significant than the Magen David. In fact, for a growing number of Jews, Judaism is really the opportunity to celebrate liberalism with Jewish food and ceremony – in that order. Passover, which begins next week, is viewed as an ecumenical occasion to talk about slavery and disenfranchisement throughout the world, from the gravest examples to the most petty. There’s a seat at the seder for everyone who has a gripe and a Haggadah to match it.
At Brandeis, a college founded by ardent Zionists and named for one, a recent protest was by a group called Brandeis Students for Justice in Palestine who disrupted a panel discussion by Israeli legislators and Jewish community leaders. Their signs were all about apartheid, fascism and freeing Palestine. There were no demonstrators protesting the massacres in Syria, Sudan, Congo, Somalia or any of the Muslim states where tens of thousands of people have been and are being slaughtered, nor any mention of the purges against Christians in Moslem countries. The only politically correct cause du jour is Israeli “apartheid.”

Roger Hedgecock: the case for Israel is never presented in American media. Arab violence is not reported.
USA talk show host Roger Hedgecock is in Israel for the first time since the 1990s. He toured Judea with Minister of Public Affairs and the Diaspora.
Hedgecock told Arutz Sheva that the case for Israel is never presented in American media and the story of Arab violence is never told. “People have got to start reaching out and telling their story,” he added.
Hedgecock is one of the leading broadcasters in the United States and an occasional commentator for CNN, FOX news and the Washington Journal.

The huge investment by students, parents and taxpayers made in colleges providing a foundation of knowledge and critical thought has already or is in process of sinking into the hole of politicized instruction that is one-sided indoctrination. The California Association of Scholars details this in a just published 87-page report, A Crisis Of Competence:The Corrupting Effect of Political Activism in the University of California.
The specifics describe the University of California but, also, uses broader principles and statistics that apply nationally. The report to the Regents of the University of California cites its own policies that are being ignored by passive or activist administrators, allowing or furthering a lack of academic standards, yes also of academic freedom, that is digging a deeper hole under our society and prosperity.
In recent years, study after study has found that a college education no longer does what it should do and once did. Whether these studies look directly at the capabilities of graduates, or instead at what employers find their capabilities to be, the result is the same: far too many college graduates have not learned to write effectively, they can not read and comprehend any reasonably complex book, they have not learned to reason, and their basic knowledge of the history and institutions of the society in which they live is lamentably poor….

The worst man ever to win the Nobel Peace PrizeThere have been many controversial awards in Nobel history, but Yasser Arafat’s 1994 award is right up there. When I told people I was writing a history of the Nobel Peace Prize, they had a common reaction: “Didn’t Arafat win that?” (I am speaking primarily of Americans.) He did win it, yes, in 1994. For some, that’s all you need to know about the Nobel Peace Prize. Elena Bonner, the widow of Andrei Sakharov, said that she could not “understand or accept” the fact that her late husband and Yasser Arafat shared membership “in the club of Nobel laureates.”
It’s well to remember, though, that Arafat did not win the prize by himself. He won it in concert with two Israeli statesmen: the prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, and the foreign minister, Shimon Peres. They were happy to go to Oslo to share the prize with Arafat, or at least willing to do so.And one of them, the foreign minister, went so far as to say in his Nobel lecture that Arafat’s share in the prize was “fitting.”

BOYCOTTER OF ISRAEL NOW ALSO BOYCOTTING OXYGEN
Adrienne Rich, who called for compulsory lesbianism for women and the destruction of Israel, has expanded her boycott of the Jewish State beyond the Jews and into oxygen, which she believed was tainted by Zionism and Heterosexuality.
Rich’s courageous commitment to refusing to breathe has been praised by BDS activists who have rallied to her in the wake of the Battle of the Park Slope Coop defeat. While Rich’s decision to boycott Zionist and Heteronormative American Imperial oxygen has led to her passing from this plane to a wondrous realm of Muslim lesbians, thus preventing her from participating in the next Gaza flotilla, she has been praised for remaining true to her principles of hating Jews, men, women and koala bears.
Adrienne Rich leaves behind a final poem summing up her existence.
Damn (2012)
Jews,
They’re everywhere
Like Zionism hives hatching
Patriarchal somo-dominance of integrity
Birds shriek into a hurricane
Lesbian Palestine I embrace you
Truth is dangling from

“I’m deeply concerned about the possibility of an escalation of tensions and the occurrence of more confrontations and demonstrations [in Egypt],” said McCain. “However, the more important question is whether the Muslim Brotherhood will adopt a moderate approach, or if some of its extremist members will be directing the constitution-drafting process and the [presidential] elections.”
I certainly hope none of those “extremist” members of the Brotherhood will try to make the Constitution go Islamist.
