A Lesser Superpower Than We Used To Be by Shoshana Bryen

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4030/lesser-superpower The traditional American posture as the guarantor of freedom and protector of allies, and the scourge of Nazis, Communists and al Qaeda is headed toward a less manageable, every-man-for-himself series of ad hoc arrangements that portend greater international instability in which terrorism and warfare thrive. Here is what happens when the United States is […]

Lawrence A. Franklin: Saudi Arabia, the UN and the OIC

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4031/saudi-arabia-un-oic Saudi Arabia’s rejection of a term on the UN Security Council likely reflects its view of itself as helping to establish an alternate international order based on Sharia law. The 56-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation is already the largest international organization after the UN. For Islamists, the UN, like all secular international organizations, lacks […]

The Medieval Anti-Semitic views of 150 Million Europeans An Interview With Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld….see note please

http://www.israpundit.com/archives/63590969

So much of this hatred of Jews can be traced directly to the influx and increased influence of Moslems who have been black belt haters of Jews since the time of the prophet and long before the advent of the Nazis…..rsk

Recently, a new book, Demonizing Israel and the Jews by Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld, sent shock waves across Europe by revealing the frightening levels of anti-Semitism and vicious condemnation of Israel taking place in the European Union. Not since 1938 has Europe witnessed such a virulent outbreak of open hatred for the Jewish people. Jews are leaving Europe in record numbers, and in city after city, where Jewish communities once thrived, people have mpacked their bags and fled to Israel, Canada or the United States. From Paris to Malmo, old Jewish homes are standing empty, as family after family leaves the land of their birth to escape the memories of 1800 years of persecution and death.

For those who remain behind, daily life is a constant burden and an awful reminder of a time, only 85 years ago, when Jews were forced to wear yellow stars and herded into cattle cars by the millions to be gassed and burned.

Now, in the year 2013, Jews are once again spat on and kicked for daring to wear a Kippah on a European street, “Dirty Jew, Hitler should have finished the job” echoes in their ears as they run for cover. Ancient Jewish gravestones are covered with Swastikas and Israel flags are torn to shreds by ravening crowds of protesters screaming their hatred for the Jewish state. Rather than dwell in despair on the horrors of Jewish life in Modern Europe, we invited Dr. Gerstenfeld here today to explain how and why this is happening and to gain an understanding of what can be done about it. Does hope still remain for the Jews of Europe or are we on the verge of a second Holocaust? Is Israel facing nuclear annihilation or can the Jewish state finally take its place as an equal partner among the nations of the world.

RUSSIA’S ROUGH JUSTICE…A NEW CASE AGAINST KHODORKOVSKY?

http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/russia-appears-to-be-preparing-a-new-case-against-khodorkovsky-a-929017.html Putin’s arch-enemy Mikhail Khodorkovsky is due to be released in 2014, but justice officials seem to be preparing the next case against him. Investigators have also set their sights on a German legal expert who criticized the last verdict as “deeply unjust.” On Sept. 30 at 11:05 a.m., Lufthansa flight LH 2996 left Hamburg […]

THE COURT’S SECOND CHANCE TO CONFRONT THE EPA

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/22/editorial-the-courts-second-chance/ Much maligned carbon dioxide just can’t catch a break. Without it, plants would die, and we’d have no oxygen to breathe. Yet the Environmental Protection Agency insists this harmless gas is a blight on the planet and must be eliminated, lest the stars fall and the planets collide. Or something like that. The U.S. […]

MARK STEYN: WHOSE ISLAM?

http://www.steynonline.com/5809/whose-islam The “war” part of the war on terror is pretty much over, and we’re now fighting it culturally, rhetorically. Which is not something we do well. Take the British prime minister and his traditional nothing-to-do-with-Islam statement, issued in the wake of the Kenyan shopping-mall carnage: These appalling terrorist attacks that take place where the […]

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?: OBAMA’S FINGERPRINTS ALL OVER THE IRS TEA PARTY SCANDAL: JAY SEKULOW

  http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/10/20/obamas-fingerpints-all-over-irs-tea-party-scandal/ It’s past time for the media to begin asking President Obama tough questions about the IRS conservative targeting scandal.  After all he was involved, publicly, from the beginning. Last Friday, the American Center for Law and Justice (where I serve as Chief Counsel) filed its Second Amended Complaint against the United States, the […]

The Opportunistic Politics Rolls On BY Frank Salvato

http://www.newmediajournal.us/ Just as the American people begin eying the torches and pitchforks, readying their maps of Washington, DC, the establishment politicos have set themselves to brazenly cover their butts yet again. This time, they are proposing a way to absolve themselves from tough votes on raising the debt ceiling.    In the aftermath of our […]

ALAN CARUBA: THE PRESS ENDURES OBAMA’S UNREQUITED LOVE

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-press-endures-obamas-unrequited-love?f=puball Some years ago Bernard Goldberg wrote a book, “A Slobbering Love Affair With Obama”, about the way the press treated his 2008-9 campaign and election as President. The mainstream press continues to protect Obama, often rather blatantly. The curious thing about this is that it is not reciprocated. More and more, the press acts […]

HERBERT LONDON: SCHADENFREUDE AND THE GOVERRNMENT SHUTDOWN

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/ Now that the dust has cleared and government services are open and available, let me engage in Monday morning quarterbacking. Right after his 2012 election victory President Obama did something he rarely does: he tuned in to Fox News. Nothing, he noted at the time, is more satisfying than schadenfreude or what might be […]
