Op-Ed: Lara’s Lies – Or How Peace Now Sees the IDF: Phyllis Chesler ****

http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/1092/lara-friedman-peace-now

A fundraising brochure from Americans for Peace Now just arrived in the mail. The cover quotes Lara Friedman, their Policy and Government Relations Director. She states:

“Sometimes the Zimmermans of the world turn out to be Jewish and/or Israeli. Their actions bring shame to all of us and are a stain on our community, our religion, and the Jewish state.” Shame on you, Lara Friedman!

Friedman equates the Israel Defense Force, (the IDF), WITH a 28-year-old neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman, who is neither Jewish nor Israeli, BUT who is, in fact, a multi-racial Hispanic.

American.Zimmerman is the Sanford, Florida man charged with second degree murder in the tragic shooting of 17-year-old African-American teenager, Trayvon Martin, on February 26, 2012. Zimmerman has not yet been tried or found guilty–except in the media.

Within weeks, President Obama said that “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon. I think that Trayvon’sparents are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness this deserves and we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.”

The IDF, several oceans away, are hereby implicated by Friedman in the assassination of the President’s (imaginary) son.

Egypt: The Muslim Brotherhood Bomb? by Raymond Stock

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3333/egypt-muslim-brotherhood-bomb “We [Egyptians] are ready to starve in order to own a nuclear weapon that will represent a real deterrent and will be decisive in the Arab-Israeli conflict.” — Dr. Hamdi Hassan, Spokesman, Muslim Brotherhood Parliamentary Caucus, 2006 When Egypt’s first civilian, democratically elected dictator,[1] Mohamed Mursi became his country’s first head of state to […]

The Libya We Fought For Or Is Libya the New Iraq? by Daniel Greenfield

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3329/libya-iraq In Benghazi, a car bomb aimed at Libyan intelligence officials shook a crowded street. It’s not the first car bomb to strike Libya after the fall of Gaddafi. Benghazi has its own insurgency and remains a flashpoint for the looming civil war that no one is talking about. Postwar Libya has not received the […]

RUTHIE BLUM; FAYYAD’S BLOOD SOAKED OVERDRAFT

http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=2527 Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad is in a real pickle these days. This is not because the Democratic National Convention ended up having to overturn its initial omission of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in its platform – though that might have felt to him like the icing on his otherwise collapsing cake. Indeed, […]

CRAIG SHIRLEY: ARE YOU BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE FOUR YEARS AGO? REDUX

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/80719.html “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” A host of leading Democrats, including many key strategists, were unable to answer this simple question over the Labor Day holiday. They are still scrambling to figure out an appropriate answer. Ronald Reagan used this phrase to bedevil President Jimmy Carter in 1980. […]

US MUST UPDATE ITS STRATEGIC NUCLEAR DOCTRINE By LOUIS RENÉ BERES

http://www.jpost.com/LandedPages/PrintArticle.aspx?id=284060 During the 1950s, America first began to codify various rudimentary doctrines of nuclear deterrence. At that time, the world was clearly bipolar, and the conspicuous enemy was the Soviet Union. Thoroughly tempered by a shared knowledge of the carnage that had overwhelmed the planet from 1939 to 1945, it was, at least strategically, a […]

STELLA PAUL: THE DEMS’ THEOLOGY EXPLAINED…THERE IS A GOD AND THEY HATE HIM

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/09/democratic_party_theology_explained_there_is_a_god_and_they_hate_him.html

Trying to figure out Democratic party theology has never been easy. Is it atheism, Islam, New Age globalism, or some weird mishmash of all of the above?

Thankfully, the Democratic National Convention has answered all of our questions. On Wednesday, the All Mighty was inserted back into the party platform to a chorus of loud boos.

So there is a God. And Democrats hate Him.

Delighted to help clear that up.

DERSHOWITZ: J’ACCUSE- SHAME ON GERMANY FOR CIRCUMCISION BAN SEE NOTE PLEASE

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3331/germany-circumcision-ban

J’Accuse!…the words of Emile Zola who inspired the Dreyfusards in the notorious Dreyfus Affair (1894 until 1906) in which an innocent Jewish officer was set up and accused of high treason. Dersh is no Zola. He has these burps of selective outrage….but continues his slavish praise and support for Obama. Shame on Dersh….no hero at all…..rsk

Why do countries with long histories of anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry seem to care more about the so-called rights of young children not to be circumcised than do other countries in the world with far better histories of concern for human rights? The same rhetorical question can be asked of countries, such as Norway, that care so much about the rights of animals not to be slaughtered according to Jewish ritual. These questions are entirely rhetorical because every thinking person knows the answer. It’s not because Germans or Norwegians are better people and care more about children and animals than do Americans. It is because they care less about Jews. Or more precisely they care a lot about Jews. They just don’t like them very much and don’t care if they are forced to leave the country because they cannot practice their religion there.

So let no one praise a nation that murdered a million Jewish babies and children for shedding crocodile tears over the plight of the poor little baby boy who, following a many thousand year old tradition, is circumcised 8 days after birth. Every good person should condemn Germany for what really lies at the heart of efforts to ban circumcision—old-fashioned anti-Semitism, a term coined by Germans for Germans and against Jews.

History is not irrelevant in assessing current policies. The history of Germany (and Norway) in prohibiting Jews from practicing their traditional rituals goes back to a time when overt anti-Semitism was not only acceptable, it was de rigeur. Today, new words replace discredited old ones. Anti-Zionism instead of anti-Semitism. The welfare of children instead of the banning of religious rituals. But it’s all the same. Anyone who falls for the new pseudo-scientific nonsense about the evils of circumcision or ritual slaughter is as naïve or bigoted as those who fell for the old pseudo-scientific racial claims of Nazism.

OBAMA: ” REGRET THE SYNTAX OF THE “YOU DIDN’T BUILD THAT” SPEECH BUT NOT THE CONTENT (HUH?)

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/obama-admits-he-has-one-regret-over-you-didnt-build-that-speech-the-syntax/

During an interview with WWBT-TV, President Barack Obama said he regrets the “syntax” of his now-infamous “You Didn’t Build That” speech — but not the content.

“Obviously, I have regrets for my syntax,” said President Obama. ”But not for the point, because everyone who was there watching knows exactly what I was saying.”

Syntax, according to Dictionary.com, deals with the “formation of grammatical sentences in a language.” So in other words, Obama regrets they way he said it, but not what he said.

The president also said America is much, much better off than it was four years ago.

“We are absolutely better off than we were when I was sworn in and we were losing 800,000 jobs in a month,” he said, adding that there is “much more to do.”
