RUTHFULLY YOURS

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/

It’s still quite a while till Valentine’s Day in the United States, but in Pakistan the day of love came early as a Romeo named Ahmed Yusuf threw acid in the face of his 9 year old Juliet, his wife/cousin causing extensive burns over her body.
Ahmed Yusuf couldn’t have known any better. Throwing acid at a woman in Pakistan is their culture’s version of roses and chocolate. And since he was only 10 years old, his father and brothers were happy to help out.

After the father who had married off a 9 year old girl to her 10 year old cousin noticed the acid burns, which the family tried to pass off as a skin condition, he earned a “Father of the Year” trophy by taking her back home, but that didn’t dissuade his brother and nephews who showed up and thew acid on her again.

Now the acid burned girl and father are on the run with the Pakistani police in hot pursuit because the local law favors turning the girl back to her husband. The whole thing might end in an honor-killing or charges of adultery, a term that in the Muslim world covers everything from marrying without a father’s permission to being gang raped in an alley.

What could a 9 year old girl possibly have done that would result in multiple acid attacks from her own uncle/father-in-law and her child husband? The answer is simple. She was a 9 year old girl in a culture where weakness only inspires cruelty, where animals are routinely tortured and people are treated like animals.

Iran is a central pillar of evil in the Middle East, Central Asia and through Afghanistan to Pakistan.  It threatens Israel in apocalyptic terms; arms and trains proxies that kill Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan; orchestrates plots to kill diplomats in the United States; murdered its own dissidents in Europe; undermines the elected government […]

JERUSALEM BASED THINK TANK LAUNCHES NEW EFFORT TO TEACH ABOUT AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM AND ISRAEL’S RENAISSANCE

(JERUSALEM) A new policy institute, the Israel-American Renaissance Institute / I-ARI, with offices in Jerusalem and Philadelphia has been launched by a group of veteran scholars. Professors at American and Israeli universities, both Jews and non-Jews have been brought together by political scientist Paul Eidelberg to discuss the importance of the basic ideas and values found in the Bible of Israel to the futures of both nations.

Dr. Eidelberg earned his doctorate at the University of Chicago, where he studied under the world-renowned scholar Dr. Leo Strauss. His trilogy on America’s founding documents is considered without parallel: The Philosophy of the American Constitution, On the Silence of the Declaration of Independence, and A Discourse on Statesmanship. In 1976 he joined the faculty of Bar-Ilan University in Israel.

Finnish delusions http://www.meforum.org/3091/finnish-delusions Finnish Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja has done it again. No sooner did this 1960s radical ease himself back into the foreign minister’s seat after four years in the opposition than he unveiled again his anti- Israel prejudice. “No apartheid state is justified or sustainable,” he told a panel discussion in Helsinki last […]

http://politicalmavens.com/index.php/2011/11/03/its-enough-already/ Many of the Occupy Wall Street protests—which began with generalized calls for anarchy—have now slipped into anarchy themselves. Anarchy and violence. Rampant drug use, rapes, theft, smashed windows, public urination, defecation and sex, and physical clashes with police have made these demonstrations into hotbeds of chaos—which is what the organizers would like to export […]

http://politicalmavens.com/ The Occupy Wall Street Performance is a perfect example of what happens when people in charge deign to make tough decisions promptly and put their collective fingers to the wind instead.  At the outset, Mayor Bloomberg wholeheartedly supported the encampment under the rubric of freedom of speech and assembly.  Despite the fact that the […]

Report: Sarkozy calls Netanyahu ‘liar’

http://www.ynetnews.com

Microphones accidently left on after G20 meeting pick up private conversation between US, French presidents. Sarkozy admits he ‘can’t stand’ Israeli premier. Obama: You’re fed up with him? I have to deal with him every day!

The conversation then drifted to Netanyahu, at which time Sarkozy declared: “I cannot stand him. He is a liar.” According to the report, Obama replied: “You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!”

The remark was naturally meant to be said in confidence, but the two leaders’ microphones were accidently left on, making the would-be private comment embarrassingly public.

Palestinian Authority slated to receive millions in monetary assistance after Republican House Foreign Affairs Committee chair lifts objection to transfer. Aid ‘serves US’ national security interests,’ she says

Yitzhak Benhorin and APWASHINGTON – The Palestinians are slated to receive some $200 million in US security assistance after a top House Republican ended her hold on the money.

http://www.prudenpolitics.com/index.php/pruden/full_column/rattling_sabers_at_the_iranians Something is definitely going on between Israel and Iran. More behind-the-scenes diplomacy? Plotting tougher sanctions? Or is something real finally in the works? It’s not quite clear what that “something” may be. Uncertainty is exactly what the Israelis prescribe for now. The window of opportunity to destroy Iran’s nuclear-weapons program is swiftly closing, Western […]
