“Two-time Oscar winner Thompson, recent Tony winner Mark Rylance and seven-time Oscar nominee Mike Leigh were among three dozen actors, directors and writers who signed a letter last week expressing “dismay and regret” that Habimah was invited to the festival and urging organizers to withdraw their invitation. In the protest letter, Habimah was accused of having “a shameful record of involvement with illegal Israeli settlements in Occupied Palestinian Territory.”

“Hillary, who not so long ago asked of the Russians, “whose side are they on?,” knows better than to believe most of the stuff she has to say. If a diplomat is someone paid to tell lies for his country, as the old diplomatic saying goes, a secretary of state is paid to tell the president’s whoppers.”

Few voters choose a president for his views on foreign policy, which is regarded as work best left to credulous wonks, artless dips and naïve double-domes. It’s work in a place where real people don’t want to go.

Voters make occasional exceptions. George McGovern, who promised to “crawl on my knees” to Hanoi to end the Vietnam war, and Jimmy Carter, who bungled an attempt to rescue the American hostages in Tehran and left eight American soldiers dead in the desert, paid for their reckless goofiness as soon as the voters got a chance to bury them under landslides.

Barack Obama may soon join them in that pantheon to the gods of presidential screw-ups. He sent a message to Vladimir Putin begging for “space” with an implied promise to trash American missile defense later, after he achieves “flexibility” with the November election. That sounds like a promise to crawl on his knees to Moscow. Mr. Obama knows how to crawl. He earlier crawled to Cairo to deliver an apology for America being America, and offering something that sounded like a promise to make the Middle East safe for radical Islam.

The Superiority of Western Values in Eight Minutes

http://www.westminster-institute.org/articles/the-superiority-of-western-va
lues-in-eight-minutes/

In a public debate in London against Tariq Ramadan, Ibn Warraq was given
eight minutes to argue the superiority of Western values. Here is his
defense of the West, which forms the basis for his new book, Why the West is
Best: A Muslim Apostate’s Defense of Liberal Democracy.

The great ideas of the West-rationalism, self-criticism, the disinterested
search for truth, the separation of church and state, the rule of law,
equality before the law, freedom of conscience and expression, human rights,
liberal democracy-together constitute quite an achievement, surely, for any
civilization. This set of principles remains the best and perhaps the only
means for all people, no matter what race or creed, to live in freedom and
reach their full potential.[1]

Rev. Wright’s Role in the ‘Destroy Israel March’ Posted By Arnold Ahlert

URL to article: http://frontpagemag.com/2012/04/02/rev-wright-helps-organize-destroy-israel-march/

On March 30th, the Global March to Jerusalem (GMJ), an attempt to mobilize millions of demonstrators aimed at converging on the state of Israel and inevitably breaching its borders, took place. Joining the likes of Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Mavi Marmara flotilla veterans, were the inevitable horde of useful idiots from the West, including British anti-Semite George Galloway, anti-war Bush-basher Cindy Sheehan, Truther conspiracy advocate Richard Falk, and radical race theorist Cornel West. Yet it was one of the movement’s “official advisers” whose name stood out: president Obama’s former spiritual advisor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

In earnest, the GMJ was little more than a modern-day, jihadist-inspired confrontation aimed eliminating the Jewish State. It was an aim revealed by the GMJ’s logo, showing a map of Palestine in place of Israel. The GMJ rejects any two-state solution with the nation they consider the epicenter of ”apartheid, ethnic cleansing and Judaisation.” Furthermore, the organizers insist that they are “renewing the struggle to liberate Palestine,” a particular expression that is a common euphemism for the destruction of Israel.

Here’s the story. Back in June 2010, Krekar – who at the time was facing possible expulsion to Iraq, where he insisted he was in danger of execution –issued the following warning: “My death will cost Norwegian society. If, for example, Erna Solberg tossing me out of the country leads to my death, she will suffer the same fate.” Solberg is head of the Norwegian Conservative Party.

So it was that on Monday of last week, to the surprise of many, an Oslo court actually took action against Krekar – not only for his threat against Solberg, but also for similar threats against other, less high-profile individuals. Sentenced to five years in prison, he was released pending appeal. His lawyer, Brynjar Meling, admitted that the court’s decision took him and his client aback. And understandably so – after all, Krekar has been a clear and present danger in Norway for years and yet has been allowed to reside in Oslo, living proof of the fecklessness of European governments in the face of the enemy within. Why start taking this peril seriously now?

In court last Monday, Krekar insisted, in his defense, that his singling out of Solberg was mere happenstance. “Solberg was just a name that popped into my head,” he said. “It’s as if I’m talking about German philosophy and mention Schopenhauer or Hegel – it’s just a name. She was just a symbol for me.” In other words, he isn’t particularly set on killing Solberg – there’s a whole bunch of other Norwegian officials whom he could just as happily kill instead. (Great defense: if I’m willing to blow just anyone to bits, you must acquit!)

Krekar went on to say something that came off (such is his wont) as yet another threat: “Muslims must provide security to the country that has given them security. As long as I received security and safety here, Norwegians were able to enjoy the same thing.” And now that Norwegians were threatening to lock him up? The mullah’s point is clear: if Norway makes war on him, he’ll make war on Norway.

Following his court appearance, Krekar headed for the studios of Norway’s TV2 to be interviewed by Al-Jazeera. When a TV2 reporter asked for a comment on the way out, Krekar got a tad violent (video here). Two, um, journalists from Al-Jazeera restrained him, whereupon one of them asked TV2′s cameraman to hand over the video of Krekar’s outburst. His request was, admirably, denied. One of the two Al-Jazeera boys then complained that TV2 had been wrong to videotape Krekar: it was, he said, a simple matter of “respect.” Among other things, this encounter tidily demonstrated – old news, of course – that for many Muslims, “respect” between themselves and infidels is a one-way street.
