Let’s examine an obvious, yet overlooked source: the rubble of the Twin Towers. 9/11 was the most traumatic day in American history, and its horrors left deep gashes in our national soul. We stumbled around in pain and confusion for years, groping for […]

“F*cking Jew” Abuse At Max Brenner Protest In Newtown, New South Wales
Below is footage of the mob of Israel-demonising leftwing ratbags who marched on Max Brenner in Newtown yesterday. Update: and I’ve added a counter-demo too (hat tip Shirlee)
In its report of a demo against the same shop last month, the Australian Jewish News quoted one Jewish community member as saying:
“They blocked the footpath. I felt I was under personal attack.”
She described their behaviour as “aggressive and impassioned”, and some of their words as “absolutely horrifying”.

Since 9/11 we have done quite a good job in scaling down the risk in the ‘West’. Soft policies of inclusiveness/diversity have a role. They show a willingness to talk, within civilised limits. So does killing our enemies. That shows a refusal to be defeated.
I returned to the Embassy in Belgrade to be told to watch on TV what was happening in New York.I did. The Twin Towers crashed.
My thought then is still valid:
This level of Islamist madness is quite different. It can’t be defeated by normal means. Only moderate Muslims can do it, if they have the courage. And what will they demand from us as the price for sorting out their own lunatics..?
www.MedMasks.com My 9/11 Story I was in the Trade Center that morning and lived in the neighborhood of Ground Zero. That day as most of you remember was a magnificent fall day, New York that morning could not be more beautiful. I started the day walking Justice, my cock-a-poo, and spending a couple of minutes […]

Like a ship pulling away from shore, time brings distance to all events. No pain is as fresh ten or twenty years later as on the day it happened. The shock of the impossible becomes the new normal and then it becomes more background noise.
“A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic,” said Joseph Stalin. This is something that the statisticians in Berlin, Moscow, Tehran and Riyadh know quite well when they count up their numbers. But compound death is not a statistic, it is incomprehensible. The banality of the media coverage of September 11 reveals the struggle of grappling with a story too big to tell that can only be broken down into human fragments of personal stories.

http://www.tnr.com/article/tel-aviv-journal/94655/israel-obama-terrorism-munich I wish it would be historically possible—that is, historically honest—for Israel to be omitted from the long list of target countries that have been the victims of terrorism. Alas, it is not. But President Obama has a habit of making such lists, and he always fails to include Israel (or anyplace within its borders) […]
http://amilimani.com/2011/09/remembering-the-unforgettable/ It is said that “powerlessness frustrates and absolute powerlessness frustrates absolutely; absolute frustration is a dangerous emotion to run a world with.” Sometimes I wonder why I am so restless, why I cannot cease thinking! It seems like the world we live in reveals to us incessantly, at certain moments or in certain circumstances, […]
http://politicalmavens.com/ In schools, in politics and in the media, we are whitewashing the events of 9/11 by ignoring their connection to the ideology of Islamic Jihad. This can only backfire as we raise a younger generation that will have no memory of what we lived through and little comprehension of the forces we are […]
