APPEASEMENT LOSES: VINCENT GIOIA

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.11601/pub_detail.asp
During the past decade the civilized world has experienced the same Islamic threat to survival that it was exposed to centuries ago, but the danger of destruction and success of the insane ideology is substantially greater. No longer do the Islamists just use scepters and knives to kill and enslave disagreeable Muslims and non-Muslims, they now have advanced arms and human bombs, with weapons of mass destruction looming on the horizon.

Much of the world struggles with the question of how to defeat Islamic tyranny, while others insist on ignoring the lessons of history and try to mollify Islam with appeasement in one form or another. Appeasement doesn’t work; world history is replete with examples. No amount of appeasing Hitler prevented a world war and the Holocaust. Giving in to Stalin’s quest for communist world domination didn’t stop the expansion of communist ideology and enslavement of large numbers of people. Appeasement by ignoring brutal treatment in Southeast Asia only led to killing of millions of people just as it has in Africa. And appeasing Castro by failing to assist brave men who sought to overthrow his dictatorship has left an entire country of people who don’t remember what it is like to live in freedom.

HERBERT LONDON: SOVEREIGNTY AND SUZERAINTY IN THE U.S.-ISRAEL RELATIONSHIP

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.11594,css.print/pub_detail.asp
The recent Obama-Netanyahu conclave has evoked a jamboree of media speculation. Will Israel act unilaterally to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities? Does the Obama administration really have Israel’s back as the president indicated? And where is that “red line,” the point at which an attack must occur to prevent an Iran with “secure” nuclear weapons? Despite all the diplomatic bonhomie, and announcements of solidarity, questions remain – questions fraught with uncomfortable implications.

U.S. officials made it clear that President Obama will not go beyond the broad policy enunciated in the past: that the United States is committed to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon through diplomacy and sanctions and, as a last resort, force. Here too equivocation prevails. Secretary of Defense Panetta has indicated a reluctance to apply military force in this matter, and questioned the effectiveness of an Israeli strike, a position adopted by others in the administration.

DAVID P. GOLDMAN: THE MEDIA NOTICES THE MOSLEM POPULATION IMPLOSION…BUT STILLDOESN’T GET IT

http://pjmedia.com/spengler/2012/03/13/the-mainstream-media-finally-notices-the-muslim-population-explosion-but-still-doesnt-get-it/?print=1 The mainstream media has finally noticed the fertility implosion in the Muslim world, the title of David Brooks’ column today in the New York Times.

BRUCE KESLER: UNCERTAINTY AN EXCUSE FOR OBAMA INACTION IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Uncertainty Is An Excuse For Obama Inaction In Middle East

Hundreds of articles analyze whether the US should or not take a stronger stand vis a vis Syria or Iran. The articles usually increase uncertainty among readers. In the absence of complete information as to all the players’ goals and means or perfect knowledge beforehand about the outcomes, the reader is understandably confused or paralyzed by doubts. Indeed, that seems the purpose of many analyses and comments by officials.

It is impossible to know with certainty in advance the effect and outcomes of the many variables and responses possible. So, uncertainty is natural. But, uncertainty does not require indecisiveness nor excuse inaction.

VICTOR SHARPE: JUST ONE BOMB

http://www.renewamerica.com/ The silence in the mainstream media was deafening. Silence about what? Well simply put. The Palestinians launched a massive missile barrage against southern Israeli cities, towns and villages. These communities endured for several days a barrage from the Gaza Strip of well over 200 lethal missiles aimed deliberately by Palestinian terrorists at Israeli civilian […]

But the Prime Minister needn’t have bothered […]

FORMER FL SENATOR GRAHAM: “CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CONTRADICT FBI’S ASSERTION THAT THERE WAS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN HIJACKERS AND SAUDIS LIVING IN FLORIDA

http://openchannel.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/03/13/10656262-classified-documents-contradict-fbi-on-post-911-probe-of-saudis-ex-senator-says
By Anthony Summers and Dan Christensen
Former Florida Sen. Bob Graham, who co-chaired Congress’ Joint Inquiry into the 9/11 terrorist attacks, has seen two classified FBI documents that he says are at odds with the bureau’s public statements that there was no connection between the hijackers and Saudis then living in Sarasota, Fla.

“There are significant inconsistencies between the public statements of the FBI in September and what I read in the classified documents,” Graham said.

“One document adds to the evidence that the investigation was not the robust inquiry claimed by the FBI,” Graham said. “An important investigative lead was not pursued and unsubstantiated statements were accepted as truth.”
Whether the 9/11 hijackers acted alone, or whether they had support within the U.S., remains an unanswered question — one that began to be asked as soon as it became known that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens. It was underlined when Congress’s bipartisan inquiry released its public report in July 2003. The final 28 pages, regarding possible foreign support for the terrorists, were censored in their entirety — on President George W. Bush’s instructions.

GIULIO MEOTTI: ON BRUCE BAWER’S NEW BOOK “THE NEW QUISLINGS”

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/11389

“This Judeophobic hegemony is exercised in newspapers, movies, magazines, books and cultural events. It stays around like artificial waste. Like plastic, it doesn’t disappear for generations. It’s like pollution.Anti-Semitism no longer shocks people.Our Western, Vichy-like intellectuals have much Israeli blood on their hands.”

How many Western columnists had declared, before the Fogel massacre, that the Palestinians had the right to attack Itamar-like towns?

Giulio Meotti is an Italian journalist with Il Foglio, writes a weekly column for Arutz Sheva. He is the author of the book “A New Shoah”, that researched the personal stories of Israel’s terror victims, published by Encounter. His writing has appeared in publications, such as the Wall Street Journal, Frontpage and Commentary.

Bruce Bawer, the American cultural critic who lives in Norway, just came out with a new book titled “The New Quislings”.

It’s a devastating blow against the witch hunt and hysteria which poisoned Europe after the Oslo youth camp carnage last year.Norway is the nation that gave the world the word “Quisling” – after the politician who encouraged a Nazi invasion of his country.

Despite it’s mainly dealing with Norway, Bawer’s splendid book sheds new light into a much deeper phenomenon: the night of Europe and its Vichy-like intellectuals.

Throughout Europe, there’s a river of oily, bloody money that feeds those who incite for anti-Jewish boycotts, all the while spreading anti-Israel lies under guise of “objective journalism” and “academic research”.

There are careers to be made through the betrayal of intellectual standards by making the Jewish State the object of an unremitting demonology. There are almost no Jews today in Oslo, however the Norwegian capital is one of the global centers of new anti-Semitism.
