I’m standing in New Jersey, so it’s probably red ink. No, wait a minute — it’s glowing ink! It could only be one thing: more conservative hagiography about the Garden State’s GOP governor. Chris Christie is so […]

The latest – and loopiest – ‘peace’ formula advanced by the former head of the security services is… submission in slow motion.

There is something about the discourse on the Palestinian issue that seems to induce the total evaporation of the mental faculties of otherwise ostensibly intelligent human beings.
Perplexing questions
How else can we explain the occurrence of so many perplexing – and vexing – phenomena? For example: Why is it that the feasibility of Palestinian statehood has been repeatedly disproven, but somehow never discredited – and certainly never discarded? How can it be that the land-for-peace formula has been undermined neither by the accumulation of past failures nor the accumulating evidence of its future implausibility? What makes any professed Zionist advocate a policy whose prospects for success are so slim and whose chances of ruinous failure so great?
Why do so many, who purportedly endorse rationality in human behavior, embrace such irrationality in their political credos?
But even more disturbing questions as to the conduct and motives of adherents/advocates of Palestinian statehood and the landfor- peace formula arise from their determined denial of the failure of their dogmatic doctrine and the devastation that endeavors to implement it have wrought.
http://www.jewishpolicycenter.org/3065/counting-palestinians Senator Mark Kirk (R., Ill.) has offered an amendment to the FY 2013 funding bill for the State Department that would require the Department to provide two numbers to Congress: 1) the number of Palestinians physically displaced from their homes in what became Israel in 1948, and 2) the number of their descendants administered […]
http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=1945 Israelis and Rahel Attias More deaths in Israel have been caused by car accidents than by war and terrorism put together. So trite is this by now that it’s become a macabre joke, as well as the focus of Knesset committees and private organizations. Indeed, we mothers often wonder which milestone deserves a greater […]
http://maggiesfarm.anotherdotcom.com/archives/19823-Palestinian-Propagandizing-Of-American-Children.html Palestinian Propagandizing Of American Children For those of you who, like I, enjoy “world music” it is saddening that a major venue in San Diego which largely targets children is sponsoring pro-Palestinian propaganda from a virulent anti-Israel, anti-US group operating under the misleading name Middle East Children’s Alliance, actually an activist anti-US, anti-Israel group.

http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/sharpe/120525 What have the United States, China and Israel in common? You may be surprised at the answer. But first, compare their respective populations. The U.S has a population of some 313 million people. China has 1.4 billion. Israel, on the other hand, has a population of only 7 million and its landmass is microscopic […]
We Ignore Egypt Situation at Our Peril Since the toppling of the Hosni Mubarak regime last year, matters in Egypt – and thus in the Egyptian/Israeli relationship and in the surrounding Middle East – have steadily gone from bad to worse. Strangely, few are taking notice. The Obama Administration actively encouraged the inclusion of the […]
AMIL IMANI ON THE MULLAHS: WHAT THEY SAY IS NOT WHAT THEY MEAN, AND WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT WHAT YOU GET
http://newmediajournal.us/indx.php/item/5681 Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson: What Do Iran’s Mullahs Want? Amil Imani May 24, 2012 In dealing with the mullahs ruling Iran, what you see is not what you get, and what you hear is not what they mean. Transparency and honesty are not their strong suit. So, we need a first-rate sleuth to […]
IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF PRIVATE FIRST CLASS HAROLD H. KING, AMERICAN SOLDEIR NO. 32922362,
WHO DIED IN THE SERVICE OF HIS COUNTRY IN THE EUROPEAN AREA, JULY 10,1944.
HE STANDS IN THE UNBROKEN LINE OF PATRIOTS WHO HAVE DARED TO DIE THAT FREEDOM MIGHT LIVE, AND GROW, AND INCREASE ITS BLESSINGS. FREEDOM LIVES AND THROUGH IT HE LIVES- IN A WAY THAT HUMBLES THE UNDERTAKINGS OF MOST MEN.
SIGNED BY FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Harold “Heshy” died of wounds received on June6th, 1944 in the Normandy Invasion. His older brother George “Gershy” King died immediately that day emerging from an LST. George was an M.P. but asked to be sent to combat, and Harold volunteered but was deferred due to a medical condition for which he elected surgery and was deployed.
They are among those who have fought in all America’s Wars- from independence to Iraq and Afghnistan.
In the words of heroic Hannah Senesh, who died by a Nazi firing squad on November 1944:
“Blessed is the heart with strength to stop its beating for honor’s sake.”

In 1923, Jabotinsky contemplated how to achieve Zionist aims of a Jewish majority. He understood that to do so Jews had to be protected by an “iron wall” so to speak, maintained by the British, behind which Jews would be free to immigrate subject to absorptive capacity. He disabused his fellow Zionists of any possibility of reaching a voluntary agreement with the Arabs so long as they had any hope of preventing it. The reason being that “there has never been an indigenous inhabitant anywhere or at any time who has ever accepted the settlement of others in his country.” (Except I must note, Europe today.)
And he knew that the Arabs would not be bought off with offers of of material betterment. In fact he rejected “endless talks” to get an agreement, which no amount of concessions could achieve, and called such talks “a snare and a delusion”. Sound familiar. He wrote “We would destroy our cause if we proclaimed the necessity of an agreement.” His message to us today is end the peace process and colonize the land. Ted Belman
