I translated her testimony:
What Happened to Me on Tuesday Last

This past Tuesday, 28 Shvat – February 21, I was returning home to Karmei Tzur from Efrat where I work.

At the Gush Etzion Junction I collect a female hitchhiker who got into a back seat since the front passenger seat was where our infant seat was affixed. What luck. While traveling between El-Aroub and Bet-Omar on the ascent I notice a car appraoching from the opposite direction with a damaged front window from a rock that must have previously landed. I naively presumed that that was the result of an old incident that hadn’t yet been fixed.

VICTOR SHARPE: SLOUCHING TOWARDS BETHLEHEM

Slouching towards Bethlehem

http://www.thejerusalemconnection.us/blog/author/admin

No, the title of this article does not refer to W.B. Yeat’s poem nor to the foul and evil figure of the Antichrist found in the Book of Revelation. But it does refer to a wicked presence soon to be found in the ancient Jewish village of Bethlehem in the territory of Judea – or what the world prefers to now call by the name given to it during the illegal 19 year old Jordanian occupation of the Jewish biblical and ancestral heartland of Judea and Samaria: The West Bank.

KING ABDULLARD’S NOT SO PEACEABLE KINGDOM: VICIOUS ATTACK ON A PALARAB DISSIDENT

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11293 TED BELMAN

The Government of Jordan is accused of a vicious attack on a beautiful Palestinian activist

Things are turning ugly in Jordan. Just two days ago, a beautiful young co-ed, Enass Musallam, was brutally stabbed in the abdomen five times by a masked man who was “professionally covered like he was on a SWAT team”.

Luckily she survived the vicious attack. What was her “crime”?

She is a Palestinian student at the University of Jordan. She is active in opposing King Abdullah’s discriminatory policies towards the Palestinians. Recently, King Abdullah’s uncle made threats to the Palestinians –out of the blue– on Jordanian national TV. She responded immediately with a posting on her blog. Shortly after her articlewas published, when she was heading to college, a masked man who reportedly spoke in a Bedouin accent, attacked her.

Her blog is called, Myth Pen with this sub-title “Here is flowing ink pens in the rebellious, the flow of blood in the veins rebel!” It can easily be translated into English. Here is the article in question.

ANDREW McCARTHY: WHO DECIDES WHAT FRI AGENTS LEARN ABOUT ISLAM?

http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/291737

While we’re on the subject of the Muslim Brotherhood, this February 16 report from Steve Emerson at the Investigative Project on Terrorism will be an eye-opener. As I mentioned in my column over the weekend, the FBI — following the administration’s lead — is purging its training materials of publications that are deemed offensive to Muslims (you know, crazy stuff like claims that passages in the Koran and Hadith promote violent jihad, Islamic supremacism, killing of apostates, oppression of women, etc.). So what are the criteria the Bureau uses to figure out what materials are offensive? And who decides?

You’ll never guess. Steve, who has been talking to some mighty outraged law-enforcement officials, writes:

It was just revealed two days ago that FBI Director Mueller secretly met on February 8 at FBI headquarters with a coalition of groups including various Islamist and militant Arabic groups who in the past have defended Hamas and Hizballah and have also issued blatantly anti-Semitic statements. At this meeting, the FBI revealed that it had removed more than 1000 presentations and curricula on Islam from FBI offices around the country that was deemed “offensive.” The FBI did not reveal what criteria was used to determine why material was considered “offensive” but knowledgeable law enforcement sources have told the IPT that it was these radical groups who made that determination. Moreover, numerous FBI agents have confirmed that from now on, FBI headquarters has banned all FBI offices from inviting any counter-terrorist specialists who are considered “anti-Islam” by Muslim Brotherhood front groups.

ROBIN SHEPHERD: EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY IS ON THE EDGE OF THE ABYSS ****

http://www.thecommentator.com/article/921/european_democracy_is_on_the_edge_of_the_abyss

It’s been moving this way for some time, but now Europe’s leaders are going to have to answer a simple question on democracy: For, or against?

It’s often the little details casually slipped into the coverage that give the game away. Try this from today’s BBC report on the EU’s latest destined-for-certain-failure bailout deal for Greece:

“Opinion polls suggest that the two parties in the coalition, which currently dominate parliament, are facing huge losses at the next election, scheduled for April. Parties on the far left and far right, which are set to make big gains, are opposed to the bailout deal.“

So, fascists and communists are set to make inroads as the centre-right and centre-left parties of Europe discredit themselves by their dogged commitment to a set of suicidal policies concocted in Brussels? Well I never.

“Predictable, and predicted“, as the eurosceptics are now fond of saying: the hollowing out of European democracy has been leading us in this direction for years.

But the more you look into it the worse it gets. George Tzogopoulos, of the Bodossakis Foundation think tank, was quoted in the Irish Independent last week as saying: “In my view the election (in April) will be postponed because of EU pressure.“ All quite casual and unremarkable. A leading Greek analyst just thinks the EU will ban a general election.

INTRODUCTION TO “LICENSE TO MURDER-THE ENDURING THREAT OF THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION” BY ALEX GROBMAN

License To Murder: The Enduring Threat of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion Dr. Alex Grobman

Introduction

“There are a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your realm. Their laws are different from those of every other people’s, and they do not observe the king’s laws; therefore it is not befitting the king to tolerate them.” Book of Esther 3:8.

“Among themselves they [Jews} are inflexibly honest and ever ready to shew compassion, though they regard the rest of mankind with all the hatred of enemies.” Tacitus, The Histories Book V

Antisemitism existed in one form or another throughout much of human history. This study examines some historical examples of this particular strain of hate, focusing especially on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the most deceitful, dangerous and pernicious of the libels ever used to incite hatred and violence against the Jewish people.

The myth of an international Jewish conspiracy to control the world as advanced in the Protocols has been exposed by historians, journalists, politicians, police and religious leaders. In November 1937, the Court of Appeals in Berne, Switzerland, concluded: “This scurrilous work contains unheard of and unjustified attacks against Jews and must without reservation be judged to be immoral literature.”1

UNPLANNED PARENTHOOD: ILLEGITIMACY AND THE LIBERAL ELITE JAMES TARANTO

Social issues are so fascinating for the same reason debates over them are so often dull and frustrating: because the language of ideology, morality and law is insufficient to describe the human complexities involved. Writing at National Review Online, City Journal’s Heather Mac Donald calls our attention to a case in point:

Katie Roiphe’s full-throated defense of single parenthood should not really come as a surprise, given the iron-clad grip of feminism and the related prerogatives of the sexual revolution on the elite worldview. This proud single mother and NYU journalism professor, who is definitely not “too poor to marry,” is insulted by a New York Times article on the 53 percent illegitimate-birth rate among females under 30. . . .

But despite its overdetermined status, Roiphe’s Slate piece is nevertheless a sobering reminder of how great the abyss still is between those who understand the costs of family breakdown and those who see it as merely “refresh[ing] our ideas of family.” Roiphe concludes that there are no (annoyingly retrograde) studies on “what it will be like for . . . children to live in” the coming world without marriage. Actually, we know already. It’s called the ghetto.

Mac Donald is right as far as she goes. Roiphe’s views are fully consistent with the selective nonjudgmentalism that is an essential component of contemporary feminist ideology (selective because feminists are happy to stigmatize men–“deadbeat dads,” for instance–and women like Sarah Palin who reject the pieties of feminism). It’s also true that Roiphe is blasé about the effects on children, including children less privileged than her own offspring, of growing up without fathers. To her, the only risk worth worrying about is that they will bear the brunt of others’ censure.

But when you read Roiphe’s article, it turns out there’s more going on here. For one thing, ideologically she is just confused. Consider her second paragraph:

Conservatives will no doubt be elaborately hysterical over the breakdown of morals among the women of Lorain [Ohio, dateline of the Times piece], but they will be missing the major point, which is that however one feels about it, the facts of American family life no longer match its prevailing fantasies. For those who have associated single motherhood with the poor and uneducated, and increasingly, with the urban very-educated . . . they now have to confront the changing demographics of the vast American middle. No matter how one sees this development, . . . one has to recognize that marriage is very rapidly becoming only one way to raise children.

N. RICHARD GREENFIELD: AND THERE GOES ELECTABILITY…..SEE NOTE

And there goes Electability by N. Richard Greenfield

THE GOP DEBATES ARE MORE AKIN TO MUD WRESTLING THAN TO SERIOUS DISCOURSE. HERE IS RICHARD GREENFIELD’S TAKE SO FAR….THE GOP WILL BE SINGING “GLOOMY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN”….RSK

N. Richard Greenfield owns Ledger Publications in Hartford, Connecticut, which publishes weekly and monthly newspapers in Connecticut and Massachusetts. He has been active in politics for many years and has worked on a number of campaigns around the country.

It was at the CPAC conference a few weeks ago that former governor Mitt Romney threw out the comment that his time in office in Massachusetts was “severely conservative.”(1) Richard Viguerie(2), the lion of the conservative right, immediately countered that no serious observer of the governor’s tenure ever used the word conservative in describing it.

No doubt, Republicans who gain high office in very liberal states like Massachusetts have a great deal of difficulty governing, but Governors Kasich in Ohio and Walker in Wisconsin(3) are rising to the task as they enunciate core principles and work hard to move their states in the right direction. Governor Romney showed no such initiative. He got along with the legislature, did deals and ended up with a record that boasted Romneycare(4) as its crowning achievement.

If Governor Romney’s campaign for the presidency can’t gain traction from his record as governor, the positions he took while running for various other offices don’t serve him well either. As John Kerry(5) found out during his failed run for higher office. changing positions on major issues, while not a problem in Massachusetts, doesn’t go over well elsewhere. Governor Romney is foundering on the same truth and here is how former Bush speechwriter, Michael Gerson(6), describes his dilemma. “Romney’s main political vulnerability is a serious one. Running for Massachusetts’s governor in 2002, he was a pro-choice, economically centrist, culturally liberal, business-oriented Republican. Running for president in 2008, he was a thoroughly pro-life, orthodox supply-side, culturally conservative, Fox News Republican. Romney’s shape-shifting 2008 campaign only reinforced the impression of a consultant-driven candidate.”
