NOVEMBER: THE MONTH THAT WAS JULIA GORIN
http://www.juliagorin.com/wordpress/?p=2949
1. Obama gets reelected.
(Shouldn’t he get a second Nobel?)
2. Palestinians vow to take their case to the UN unilaterally.
3. Hostess closes shop.
4. Hamas launches rockets at Israel.
5. The Palestinians become UN non-member observer state.
6. Croatian and Albanian Nazis are acquitted at The Hague.
Given these achievements — and all in a single month — where’s that Nobel?
Background on one of the items above, from a Simon Wiesenthal Center email:
UN VOTES TO ADMIT ‘PALESTINE’
Campaign to Deny Jewish People Historic Link to Land of Israel Continues Unabated
November 29, 2012
“Today’s vote in the UN has nothing to do with reality. Peace in the Middle East will only come when the Palestinians sit down with the Israelis and negotiate. There is no other way to achieve peace in the Middle East.” — Rabbi Marvin Hier
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has once again shown he never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity for peace. Instead of pursuing direct negotiations with Israel for a Two-State solution, and in violation of the 1993 Oslo Accords, Abbas unilaterally pressed the UN General Assembly to upgrade Palestine to a Non Member Observer State.
(I’m afraid Abbas isn’t “missing an opportunity.” He’s simply found a different opportunity, one that worked in Kosovo, a precedent that he’s cited himself.)
Today, he got his wish and continues the insidious campaign to erase a deep and abiding truth: the Jewish people have a profound history in the Holy Land dating back over 3,500 years. Abbas himself recently declared, “[The Jews] claim that 2,000 years ago they had a Temple. I challenge the claim that this is so.”
This slander echoes the lies spread by official Palestinian TV which, according to Palestinian Media Watch recently aired an interview stating, “No trace of Jewish history in ‘our land’ … Temple exists on the minds of radical organizations.”
Tragically, the NGO world and most world leaders, including many churches, have not uttered a word as Palestinian propaganda infers that the prophetic writings of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel – revered by Jews and Christians alike – were never uttered in the Holy Land.
And this is what today has become the new ‘Big Lie’ – that the Jewish people are intruders in their own land.
Intruders in their own land. Like mere Serbs. “‘Myth’ of the Serbian Claim to Kosovo,” anyone?
