AFSI AND CAMP DAVID

http://www.mideastoutpost.com/archives/afsi-and-camp-david.html

Americans for a Safe Israel opposed the Camp David Treaty that returned the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt and promised “autonomy” to the Arabs of Judea and Samaria.We supported the citizens of the thriving community in Yamit who were uprooted in that shameful agreement with Sadat. We denounced “autonomy” on the grounds that it would lead to demands for return to the pre 1967 borders.

While other Israel support organizations bowed and kissed the posterior of Anwar Sadat we stood alone in opposing the foul treaty and predicted its terrible aftermath.Events have proved we were right. It is not something to gloat about but rather we rue the willful blindness of Israeli leaders and their American supporters.

We did the right thing against the wrong pacifist currents.

“SOCIAL JUSTICE” A LA CARTE: WILLIAM MEHLMAN

http://www.mideastoutpost.com/archives/social-justice-a-la-carte-william-mehlman.html

Editor’s note:  Israel is currently governed by a coalition led by the Likud Party headed by Benjamin Netanyahu.  The Kadima Party, led by Tsipi Livni, is the major opposition party and, with 28 seats, is the largest single party in the Knesset. Kadima was created in November 2005 by then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (who at that time headed the Likud Party) when he realized his government was likely to fall as a result of internal opposition flowing from his ramming through, several months earlier, the unilateral withdrawal from Gaza and the destruction of the Jewish communities there.

Islamic Emirate in Sinai?This is the forecast of journalist Khaled Abu Toameh if Egyptian authorities do not move rapidly to regain control of Sinai–”the Sinai peninsula” says Toameh “could soon become a separate Islamic emirate run by Salafis, Hamas and Al Qaeda.”

                Alex Joffe of the Institute for Jewish and Community Research fills in some of the details on what is going on in Sinai. In July, the natural gas pipeline across the Sinai bringing gas to both Israel and Jordan was blown up for the fifth time this year.  Gunmen waving black flags and carrying the Koran attacked a police station in the northern town of El Arish, leaving five dead.  There is evidence of Hezbollah squads operating in Sinai.

BENJAMIN BOUILLON: DAVID ISAAC

 Who could forget the dramatic meeting in May when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told President Obama in no uncertain terms that Israel would not go back to the 1967 lines? When he said “that a peace based on illusions will crash eventually on the rocks of Middle Eastern reality”?

                Netanyahu received much deserved praise for his performance. He was firm and unequivocal. It was a welcome change. Previously he had caved to American pressure, ‘freezing’ Jewish construction in the territories and adopting weak-kneed policies he had criticized when in opposition.

NORWAY AND ANTI-SEMITISM: MANFRED GERSTENFELD

http://www.mideastoutpost.com/archives/norway-and-anti-semitism-manfred-gerstenfeld.html 

  A huge international debate has developed around who is responsible for influencing the thoughts of the despicable Norwegian mass murderer, Anders Breivik. His acts have also generated much unusual international publicity about Norway. This is therefore an appropriate time to investigate another type of Norwegian hate mongering: the major anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism there.                

IN THE GARDEN OF THE BEASTS: RITA KRAMER

                Those accounts we have of life in Germany during the twelve-year Reich have been written by the persecuted, the hunted, the hidden who managed to survive.  In this engrossing, sad, and sometimes infuriating book we learn what it was like to be a stranger, a neutral observer, in the early years of Hitler’s creation [..

 

JOSEPH TRUMPELDOR’S MESSAGE: VICTOR SHARPE

http://www.mideastoutpost.com/archives/joseph-trumpeldors-message-by-victor-sharpe.html    Born in 1880, Joseph Trumpeldor grew up in the small town of Piatigorsk in the Caucasus region of Russia and spent much of his youth wandering among the foothills of the Caucasian mountain range.                 Young Joseph’s father was forcibly conscripted into the Czarist army for 25 years. This was the cruel policy implemented by […]
