LEO RENNERT: ISRAEL EVACUATES A SETTLEMENT BUT GETS WHACKED ANYWAY…..SEE NOTE PLEASE

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/06/israel_evacuates_a_settlement_but_gets_whacked_by_ny_times_anyway.html

ISRAEL DESERVED A WHACKING FOR THE COURT RULING THAT EVACUATED JEWS FROM THEIR HOME, BUT THE POINT IS THAT ISRAEL WILL GET BASHED AFTER EVERY CONCESSION AND ONLY A DISPLAY OF STRENGTH SUCH AS ENTEBBE, OSYRAK, STUXNET, THE SYRIAN STARTUP REACTOR AND THE 1967 WAR ELICITS RESPECT…..AND RENNERT’S CLINGING TO THE RIDICULOUS NOTION THAT THERE CAN BE A TWO STATE SOLUTION IS SIMPLY MORE POSTURING…..WHEN WILL THEY LEARN AND WHEN WILL RENNERT, A GOOD JOURNALIST AND SUPPORTER OF ISRAEL LEARN?…..RSK
Israel evacuates a settlement, but gets whacked by NY Times anyway

This week saw a generally peaceful evacuation of 30 Jewish settlers from a Beit El neighborhood in the West Bank — a move ordered by Israel’s Supreme Court which found that five buildings were on Palestinian land. For the affected settlers, it was a wrenching experience, but with urgings from their rabbi to comply peacefully, they packed up and moved to new housing elsewhere in Beit El.

One would think that such compliance with a lawful court order on a highly politically sensitive issue might be depicted as Israel going the extra mile to advance the peace process — but not by the New York Times. In fact, in its June 27 edition, the Times runs a purported news article by Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Rudoren that manages to use this event to indict Israel as driving another nail in the coffin of a two-state solution. (“Settlers Begin Mandatory Evacuation of a West Bank Outpost” page A10).

In Rudoren’s view, Israel — and only Israel — stands in the way of a peace deal with the Palestinians. Mahmoud Abbas is automatically forgiven for refusing to resume negotiations.

Rudoren’s real thrust is to focus on a compromise with the settlers forged by Prime Minister Netanyahu — in exchange for removal of this Beit El neighborhood, Israel will build another 300 homes in parts of Beit El that don’t sit on Palestinian land. But why should this be an impediment to achieving a two-state solution since Israel intends to keep Beit El in any two-state peace deal anyway? Plenty of room would be left on the West Bank for a viable, contiguous Palestinian state.

With an assist from some “experts” dug up by Rudoren, the Times draws its own conclusion that, to achieve peace, Israel must cede all of Beit El to a Palestinian state. Never mind what Israel might demand if peace talks ever resume. Never mind exactly what borders would be drawn for a Palestinian state. Rudoren and the Times, with all their imperious chutzpah, already have determined that Beit El, a town of 7,000 residents north of Jerusalem, must and will end up on the Palestinian side.

EILEEN TOPLANSKY: THE SPECIOUS LOGIC OF THE LEFT

http://www.americanthinker.com/printpage/?url=http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/../2012/06/the_specious_logic_of_the_left.html Does MSNBC’s Ed Schultz really believe the nonsense that he spouts? His never-ending rants that anyone disagreeing with Obama is a racist are base and irresponsible. Together they form a screed that appears to have no end. Given this insulting and specious logic, we must presume that if Schultz and the rest of his […]

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/what-has-happened-to-love-of-country Just last week a school principal in Coney Island, New York, banned a song to be played during graduation because she objected to the phrase “G-d bless the USA.” Although the song was banned, students gathered outside in protest and sang the song in front of the school while parents yelled “Burn in Hell” […]

Muslim Persecution of Christians: May 2012 “Death to Christians!” by Raymond Ibrahim

  http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3135/muslim-persecution-of-christians-may-2012 Elsewhere in Sub-Sahara Africa, wherever Christianity and Islam meet, Christians are being killed, slaughtered, beheaded and even crucified. Unlike those nations, such as Saudi Arabia, that have eliminated Christianity altogether, Muslim countries with significant Christian minorities saw much persecution during the month of May: in Egypt, Christians were openly discriminated against in law […]

RICHARD MILLETT: SAVE THE CHILDREN…EXCEPT IT THEY’RE ISRAELI (FROM THE UK)

http://richardmillett.wordpress.com/2012/06/27/save-the-children-except-if-israeli/

Save the children…except if they’re Israeli.

I was back at Parliament last night for the launch of a joint report by Save The Children and Medical Aid for Palestinians called Falling Behind – The Effect Of The Blockade On Child Health in Gaza.
The same day a report was released called Children in Military Custody. This may explain why there were only 20 people at my meeting.

It must have been a good day to release bad news about Israel. With politicians, NGOs and charities totally impotent to stop massacres in Syria and starvation and disease in Africa they got back to doing what they do best; delegitimising Israel.
I haven’t had a chance to read Children in Military Custody except to notice that it starts off by stating:

“We have no reason to differ from the view of Her Majesty’s Government and the international community that these settlements are illegal.”

This despite Article 6 of the British Mandate which called for

“close settlement by Jews on the land”. So when did those “settlements” suddenly become “illegal”?

Anyone?

AMAZING ISRAEL: BONUS BIOGROUP GROWN NEW BONES FROM PATIENTS’ FAT!!!!!

http://israel21c.org/health/israeli-company-grows-new-bones-from-fat/?utm_source=Newsletter+6%2F20%2F2012&utm_campaign=June+27+2012+&utm_medium=email

Israeli company grows new bones from fat
Bonus Biogroup’s major breakthrough generates new healthy bone from stem cells harvested from the patient’s own fat.

The bone takes a few months to grow inside a unique bioreactor.

Make no bones about this technology: Bonus Biogroup, a regenerative medicine company in Israel, has found a way to grow human bone from a patient’s own fat, culled during liposuction.

Following successful pre-clinical testing, clinical trials will begin within the next year in Europe or in Israel on applications ranging from growing bones for dental surgery to replacing bone tissue lost through trauma or illness.
“The standard of care today is autologous bone grafting — taking bone from other parts of the body, breaking it and putting it in where needed,” Bonus founder and CEO Shai Meretzki tells ISRAEL21c. “Two operations are needed for the treatment of harvesting bone from another part of the body,” he says. Obviously, this solution isn’t optimal.

BRUCE KESLER: BIPARTISAN HEALTHCARE REFORMS….PLEASE SEE NOTE

http://maggiesfarm.anotherdotcom.com/archives/20054-Bipartisan-Healthcare-Reforms.html

IN ADDITION TO THESE TEN SUGGESTIONS WE SHOULD REVISIT THE CATASTROPHIC HEALTH INSURANCE ACT PROPOSED BY RONALD REAGAN AND SHOT DOWN BY THE “GREY PANTHERS”….THE GREEDY SENIORS AND MUSES OF AARP THAT WOULD NOT COUNTENANCE ANY MINOR INCREASE IN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES. RSK
Bipartisan Healthcare Reforms

What the US needs is bipartisan health care reforms, not the partisan ram-down that we’ve experienced with Obamacare. Everyone has a prediction for tomorrow’s Supreme Court decisions on Obamacare, and no one has a clue, including President Obama who has three different speeches prepared for different decisions. Regardless of the decisions, all except those addicted to government-run and single-payer medical care recognize that either Obamacare will need serious revisions or that we will need to start from scratch.

Below is an op-ed that I had in the San Diego Union-Tribune with proposals based on my decades of experience and credentials in health insurance. Republicans and Democrats should be able to agree.
No GOP ideas? Try these 10
President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats swung their 2008 majority stick, poked the health care hornets nest and are being chased by a popular uprising saying “no to Washington.” Obama now says he is willing to listen to Republican proposals for improving health care. Republicans believe that just passing an ObamaCare-lite will still move us toward government control, toward larger deficits and higher taxes.

Instead, improvements should be separate and incremental to improve health care without financial excesses or intrusion into personal lives. Here are 10 proposals that would work, cumulatively helping the poor and middle class, be affordable, enlarge care without taking away deserved care, and be supported across party lines.

ANDREW McCARTHY:Hezbollah Joins the White House in Congratulating Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood President-elect

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/303998/hezbollah-joins-white-house-congratulating-egypts-muslim-brotherhood-president-elect-a

The Shiite jihadist organization that serves as Iran’s forward militia, issued a statement congratulating the Egyptian people and their new Islamic supremacist president, Mohammed Morsi, on their “historical achievement,” adding, “The movement [i.e., Hezbollah] praises this unprecedented step and hopes that Egypt’s first presidential polls will pave the way towards achieving the demands of the January 25 revolution.”

Meantime … the U.S. State Department wants you to understand that when, following President Obama’s congratulations to the Muslim Brotherhood’s victorious candidate, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton demanded that the Egyptian military hand over power to Morsi, that was in no way intended as an endorsement of Morsi and the Brotherhood.

Thanks for that clarification.
