RUTHFULLY YOURS

Pro-Israel Maxine Dovere Socks It To Ken O’Keefe & Co On Press TV (video)
Press TV, the satellite news and current affairs channel of that impeccable bastion of liberty, equality, fraternity and (of course) sorority, presents a so-called “analysis” of the Flytilla fiasco. (That’s the one in which a participant left a swastika on the wall of a holding cell at Tel Aviv airport. Perhaps the Israeli authorities should release the culprit’s name. After all, the participants sought publicity.)

There’s also a studio discussion between talking heads in different locations: it seems that the two Israel-bashing men can’t bring themselves to be polite to the pro-Israel Ms Dovero.

O’Keefe calls her “this delusional woman in New York” and Irish activist Derek Graham, ensconced in Gaza, “this woman”.

Ms Dovere makes excellent points, which the bossy-voiced studio anchor, enveloped in voluminous robes, hastens to cut short.

O’Keefe is given the final say, and he invokes the influence of “powers … bankers” …

‘A conservative,” the old cliché goes, “is a liberal who has been mugged.” But some liberals who are mugged refuse to admit that it happened.

Observe the rough treatment to which the new American ambassador in Moscow, Michael McFaul, has been subjected since his appointment last January. Since his arrival, the ambassador has been constantly accused in the media of stirring up anti-government protests, and lately he has been ambushed by Russian state-TV crews at his meetings, official and unofficial, suggesting that his phone was tapped. This comes on top of numerous other strong indications that the Obama administration’s attempts to “reset” relations with Russia — a policy spearheaded by Mr. McFaul — have failed. But while McFaul has complained loudly about his recent treatment, he does not seem to realize that he has been mugged in a much broader sense.

Designed ostensibly for three main purposes — to secure Russian cooperation in thwarting the nuclear ambitions of Iran, promote disarmament, and assure supplies to Afghanistan from the north — the “reset” policy has failed miserably, with the partial exception of the last item. Russia now protects Iran’s nuclear ambitions rather openly. It also supports and arms the genocidal regime in Syria, and has succeeded in postponing missile defense in Europe, to the great detriment of our relations with the pro-American Eastern Europeans. It continues to display its neo-imperialist designs, from South Ossetia and Abkhazia in Georgia to Transnistria in Moldova, as well as in its new Eurasian Union scheme.

Northeastern University — Profs Gone Wild

http://pjmedia.com/blog/northeastern-university-profs-gone-wild/?print=1

Many people suspect that American college students get a left-wing and sometimes radical slant from their professors, especially when it comes to matters concerning the Middle East. But few ever get a chance to peek into the lecture halls to see for themselves what today’s higher education provides. It can be shocking.

On April 2, Americans for Peace and Tolerance/On Campus (APT/OC) released a 16 minute video showing radical professors and guest lecturers at Northeastern University in Boston teaching students that Israel is a Western colonialist project and that the Jews “use” the Holocaust to distract from their needless oppression of the Palestinians, which is in fact comparable to the Holocaust itself. They are also taught that Jews do not qualify as “a people” and so therefore do not qualify to have their own state. These things were taught at Northeastern in programs designed to teach students about the genocide of Europe’s Jews.

Readers can view the film for themselves here [1].

Tasked with responding to the film, Northeastern’s provost, Steven Director, chose not to apologize to Holocaust survivors or the Jewish community, but instead to charge us — the filmmakers — with “cherry picking” and to counter with a list of speakers who had positive messages about Jews. But of course we chose the egregious cases — that was the entire point. Should the Jews be offended only if all of the speakers and professors were this horrible? And do lists of good presentations erase the bigotry?

A university administrator can only speak to Jews this way. He would not dare try that if it were found that a Black History Month observance featured speakers (even one) who postulated that blacks use their past suffering to take advantage of white people today. He would never dare suggest to blacks that a sympathetic speaker balances out the bigots. Imagine offering to blacks an Eric Holder to balance David Duke and then acting as though it were a wash.

Walking Papers? The Incredibly Thin, Speculative Zimmerman Affidavit

URL to article: http://pjmedia.com/blog/walking-papers-the-incredibly-thin-speculative-zimmerman-affidavit/

Last week, Florida prosecutor Angela Corey stunned many within the legal establishment when she announced her office was filing a second-degree murder charge against George Zimmerman. The four-page affidavit of probable cause [1] filed by Corey’s office shocked legal experts, ranging from liberal Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz and liberal law blogger Jeralyn Merritt [2] to conservative former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy [3] and talk show host Mark Levin [4], among others.

The affidavit starts out typically, listing the names and qualifications of the two investigators used by the special prosecutor. It then begins to build a case against George Zimmerman:

On Sunday 2/26/12, Trayvon Martin was temporarily living at the Retreat at Twin Lakes, a gated community in Sanford, Seminole County, Florida. That evening Martin walked to a nearby 7-11 Store where he purchased a can of iced tea and some Skittles. Martin then walked back to and entered the gated community and was on his way back to the townhouse where he was living when he was profiled by George Zimmerman. Martin was unarmed and was not committing a crime.

Not one paragraph into the “meat” of the affidavit, Corey’s team already made two unsubstantiated claims.

First: there is no publicly known evidence that supports the contention that Zimmerman “profiled” Trayvon Martin.

As far as the media were concerned, the murder of Jewish schoolchildren in Toulouse and a black teenager in Florida were the same story — literally: Angry white male opens fire on “the other,” his deeply ingrained racism inflamed by the tide of toxic right-wing hate infecting our public discourse. Alas, in Florida, the angry white male turned out to be a registered Democrat and half Hispanic — or, as the New York Times put it, a “white Hispanic,” a descriptor never applied by its editors to, say, Sonia Sotomayor or Gloria Estefan or indeed any other person living or dead. And in Toulouse the angry white male turned out to be yet another Muhammad.

Oh, well. Better luck next time, although the pickings seem likely to get thinner: Pitch the Western world a decade or two down the road, riven by an ever-more-fractious tribalism between blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims, and the one surviving nonagenarian neo-Nazi white supremacist will be at the retirement home. But it’ll still all be his fault.

“2012 won’t be a war on women,” the advertisement says. “It will be a war by women.”

She-PAC, a hybrid conservative “Super PAC” formed to help elect conservative women to Congress, has released a video touting its support of five Republican women candidates for Senate, fighting back against the manufactured meme that Republicans are waging a “war on women,” which liberals and the mainstream media are trying to perpetuate throughout the election cycle, especially on “Equal Pay Day.”

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ Many people have noted that Obama’s rhetoric often feels off, but fewer have looked into why that is so. A great part of Obama’s success has been his ability to invoke values detached from belief systems. To break away symbols and ideals from religious and national value systems, and mix and match them into […]

Ironically, that threat comes from the very individuals charged with protecting the Constitution — federal, state, and local government officials. All these public officials take an oath […]
