by Jerry Gordon

Earlier this morning at 12:45AM Ken tweeted his victory. Timmerman had the endorsement of former US UN Ambassador John Bolton , former Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich, Rep. Roscoe Bartlett , who won his GOP primary in the redrawn Maryland 6th CD, Republican State officials and Tea Party leaders. Both Timmerman and Bolton were nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by a former Swedish deputy Prime Minister for their ground breaking work in disclosing the threat of Iran’s nuclear program.

“I wrote this book because of my grandmother, who made me a Zionist. And because of Khaled Jaber, who could have been my son.”
So begins Peter Beinart’s new book, The Crisis of Zionism, and already you know he’s off to a bad start. Leave aside the oleaginous appeal to Grandma. The real question is: Someone named Khaled Jaber could have been Beinart’s son?
Sorry if I just can’t get past hello, but this curious little intro tells us something about the methods—factually cavalier and emotionally contrived—of the whole book. Here’s the story: Khaled Jaber is a young Palestinian boy whose father, Fadel, was arrested by Israelis in 2010 for stealing water after being repeatedly denied access to pipes serving a nearby settlement. The arrest—and Khaled’s frantic efforts to reach his “Baba” as he’s being hauled away—were caught on a video and later reported in the Israeli press.
The connection to Beinart is that Beinart’s son also calls him Baba. That’s it. Yet watching the video sparked in Beinart what he describes as a kind of Damascene conversion: “For most of my life,” he writes, “my reaction to accounts of Palestinian suffering has been rationalization, a search for reasons why the accounts are exaggerated or the suffering self-inflicted. … But in recent years, for reasons I can’t fully explain, I have been lowering my defenses, and Khaled’s cries left me staring in mute horror at my computer screen.”
This is disturbing, though not in the way Beinart intends. Many people form their views of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on snapshot impressions, often shorn of the most basic context. That’s a shame, but at least most of these people don’t go on to write books on the subject. Journalists, by contrast—and Beinart is a former editor of the New Republic who currently teaches journalism at City University of New York—are supposed to, you know, dig deeper. Get the full picture. Go where the facts lead.
So, you might expect that Beinart would have made the effort to reach out to the Jabers, perhaps even by flying out and meeting them in person. Who is this family in whose name this book is ostensibly written? Are they supporters of peaceful co-existence with Israel or advocates of terrorism? Do they intend to vote for Fatah or Hamas at the next poll? Was Fadel’s arrest as unjustified as Beinart makes it seem? Is it true that Israel deprives Palestinians of their fair share of water rights? Would the Fadels be better off as farmers in a Palestinian state? What was the state of Palestinian agriculture—not to mention education, health, and infrastructure—before 1967?
PROFESSOR SHARON WAS THE GUEST OF HONOR AT AN AFSI CONFERENCE AND CONTRIBUTOR TO OUTPOST AND A BRILLIANT AND PRESCIENT COMMENTATOR AND WRITER…..RSK
Moshe Sharon is a professor of early Islamic history at Hebrew University and the author of several books. He has been lecturing to one government of Israel after another that when they negotiate with the Arabs they must remember that they are negotiating in a Middle Eastern Bazaar, not in Washington DC or in Brussels, Belgium, the capital of the European Union.
For those who have forgotten or never knew, Mr. Sharon was the only Arabic speaking person at the peace negotiations between Israel and Egypt. As Sharon tells his audience often, at that time, The treaty was signed in Washington , D.C.on the 26th of March 1979.
One time, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, said to Sharon, in Arabic, “This is a [Middle East] market. Tell your prime minister.” What Sadat was telling Israel, explains Sharon, to learn the language of the Arab bazaar, but Israel never has learned. Because Israel hardly ever listens.
On October 5, 2006, Professor Sharon wrote the article, ‘No peace, No peace plans, No price for Peace (A short guide to those obsessed with peace) http://spme.net/cgi-bin/articles.cgi?ID=1202.

Eric Holder Nailed $120,000 for Meritless Abortion Clinic Lawsuit Posted By J. Christian Adams
URL to article: http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2012/04/02/eric-holder-nailed-120000-for-meritless-abortion-clinic-lawsuit/
The Department of Justice has been forced to hand over $120,000 for bringing a meritless abortion clinic access lawsuit against a clinic protester. This loss is one of multiple lost cases by the Department of Justice against abortion clinic protesters. The Special Litigation Section is the unit bringing the meritless cases. It was profiled in the PJ Media Every Single One Series as being headed by and filled with Leftist ideologues.
The Special Litigation Section sued Mary Sue Pine under the “FACE” Act, which guarantees access to abortion clinics. The complaint alleged Pine obstructed a car entering the clinic by standing in front of it. Hans von Spakovsky previously wrote about the scalding the DOJ received in the trial court.
