| ...Lastly, maybe you noticed how in Monday’s Republican candidates’ debate Newt Gingrich expressed his view, which is mine, that it was Obama who canceled the long-planned exercise here, two years in the making, meant to fortify Israel against an attack by Iran. One imagines that Gingrich has some good foreign policy advisers with reliable contacts here who advised him that this was the case. By amusing contrast was the reaction of the President of the National Jewish Democratic Council David Harris who accused Newt of fabricating events as a ploy to smear the Muslim Prince who has “an outstanding pro-Israel record.” How do these dejudaized, inside the beltway Jews live with themselves? | |||||||||

| ...Before the music my fantasy was a country without Arabs because there is no way we can share this country. That is, Arabs can live here in any numbers so long as they have zero claims to national independence among us, to ownership; so long as they accept that as Arabs have 21 states that are officially Arab, Israel is officially Jewish. The Jews own it and are in charge. And that is because, to repeat, there is an abyss of culture that separates the two peoples. On Sunday, Knesset Speaker Ruby Rivlin received back a secular new year’s greeting he had sent to parliamentary speakers like himself around the world, and this one came back from his counterpart in Amman, Tahar al-Masri who returned letter because he said it was racist. He said when Rivlin in the circular letter called Jerusalem Israel’s capital, this was a racist and biased and political statement. I read stuff like that and despair of ever having a rational, intelligent, sober talk with any of these Arabs. Any Arab is entitled to object to Israeli rule in Jerusalem; but he is not entitled to call this rule racist. Are his fellow Arabs racist when they officially call every one of their 21 states an Arab state? Are Muslims racists when they deny non-Muslim entry into Mecca and Medina? It’s this throwing around of words ripped from their meaning that so separates the two peoples, the sons of Israel and the sons of Ishmael. Tahar al-Masri surely claims Jerusalem for the Ancient Balestinians – and never mind his last name means “the Egyptian.” There are thousands of Arabs in Israel and Jordan with this last name, a name reveals their roots, which ain’t in Balestine. What I’m saying is here is that there can be no sober dialogue with such people who are so low level in their thinking. These Arabs are constitutionally incapable in our time and who knows for much longer of dealing with us as equals. In their universe the only way to deal with Jews is to rule over them and confiscate their wealth. The Torah is true. It says we are people that must dwell alone, and the sooner we stop trying to make formal peace with these people in words and deeds instead of treating them as they really are…that is the way to real peace and quiet. Waiting for these Arabs to say they accept us is a fool’s errand... | |||||||||

| ...Sometimes I wonder if Israelis like Bibi really understand why Israel’s traditional reception of foreign dignitaries includes a trip to Yad Vashem. Visiting Chief of Staff Martin Dempsey just went through the drill. I mean, what is the point of remembering the Holocaust at all if it is only an act of remembering? Then it becomes a kind of antiquarian entertainment. No. the message of Yad Vashem must be that it happened before and it can happen again, and I say these Muslims today, these Iranians, they are today’s Nazis in their insane hatred and demonization of Jews. Memri.org has a whole archive now of these TV preachers all over Araby spewing the most medieval Jew-hatred not a whit more sane than anything the Nazis ever said. Only Bibi, the archetypal dejudaized sabra, doesn’t have it in him to tell the Dutch that these Iranians are this generation’s Nazis who must be stopped, not only for our sake, us Jews in Eretz Yisrael, but for the sake of the whole free world... | |||||||||

| ...Since the founding of the UN in 1945 with less than sixty member-states, way more than one hundred new nation-states came into being and in each case there was some kind of national movement clamoring for independence, typically from some colonial power. Well, Israel was one of those 100-plus new states, only it was unique among the new nations, alone among the nations, for its movement for national liberation was judged in 1975 “a form of racism.” Other peoples can come together and function as a nation, but when Jews do it, they do it in a racist way against all non-Jews. Jewish nationalism is an aggressive, injurious form or nationalism. Why, in order for the Jews to become as independent as say, modern Algeria, the Jews had to steal an entire country from another people. Jews are known to be cliquish and clannish. Jewish nationalism is an offense against mankind. In other words, what this French socialist did in his report was behavior known over countless generations. He said Israel’s water management was part of its policies of apartheid that impacts to unjustly and grievously on the victims of Israel’s racist policies. And never mind that racism, a la South Africa or the American South was exclusively about skin color. Skin color was the most important feature in people in those societies who did not have white skin. This was politics as a branch of dermatology. Versus Israel where skin color has nothing to do with Israel’s policies toward the Arabs. Not one among the Ishmaelites here has been unjustly treated because of the color of his skin. Those who have run afoul of Israeli law have done so for their behaviors, like sticking dynamite in their underpants to go and murder Jews at random. Apartheid, a regime of distinction by skin tone, has nothing to do with Israeli policies or Jewish nationalism, so this allegation by this French socialist is nothing but lying about Jews which in my definition is antisemitism. But again Israelis are ill-equipped to call that spade a spade... | |||||||||

| ...Roger Cohen laid out a bitter bill of indictment in Obama’s head concerning Netanyahu’s alleged hostility to him. Cohen wrote of “Obama’s fury at several things: the way Netanyahu has gone over his head to a Republican-dominated Congress where he is a darling.” Translation: Bibi has not gone over his head, and the thirty standing ovations he got were self-generating among the legislators. Is Bibi to feel guilty for generating such feelings? No matter. If Cohen is right, and he probably is, Obama is wildly jealous of Bibi and is out to get him. Cohen says Obama is furious at Bibi’s “ingratitude” over the vetoing of the PLO-sponsored UN Security Council initiative attacking the settlements. Notice that so far Obama’s complaints are wholly insubstantial. They address attitudes and manners, like ingratitude, not policies inimical to the United States of America. Cohen is describing an egomaniac bothered by Bibi’s relationship to him rather than the substantive issues important to both countries. Cohen referred to the “dysfunctional relationship between Netanyahu and Obama” with the implication of course it is Bibi’s fault and his responsibility to repair the relationship. This is what American Jewish intellectual Phillip Reiff had in mind when he wrote a book called The Triumph of the Therapeutic which dealt with the conquest of the mind in popular culture by Freudian-esque psychology, pop psychology. We all think and use those terms. Dennis Ross to me sounds like a marriage counselor and Roger Cohen sees a “dysfunctional relationship” that needs to be repaired. What he does not see is the existential threat to the lives of another 6 million Jews that Bibi is responsible for and he does not see the in-grained hatred of Jews in men like Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan and Barack Obama... | |||||||||

| ...On the domestic front which I rarely get into because the political system here is so second-rate I prefer not to get into it – someday these Israelis are going to wake up and understand that the very structure of their electoral system produces second-rate politicians – the top story last week and into this week is the entrance into politics of TV talk-show host and weekend columnist in Yediot Yair Lapid, son of the late Jewish antiJew Tommy Lapid. Yair resigned from his program to declare his desire to enter politics by creating his own party. How typical. Estimates by the pollsters say that he could get 15 seats out of the 120 and at the expense of Tsipi Livni’s Kadima Party, which makes sense. They both represent the vacuous dejudaized Israelis for whom Jewishness is drag and the Palestinians are the victims of Zionism who deserve a state. Lapid is a handsome guy who in every picture of him is shown trying to look as debonairly handsome as he can. A week ago Friday he wrote his last column and just like his late father he blamed the problems of the middle class in Israel on the Haredim. He wrote that in representing the middle class he wanted to “prevent their money from being taken by settlers, tycoons and the government – but most the Haredim. Israel has been enslaved for many years by members of a shameless, extortionist, special interest group – some of whom aren’t even Zionists – who take advantage of our twisted political system to steal the money of the working class.” In other words, those Haredim are a bunch of blood-sucking Jews leeching off the working class. Sound familiar? But I won’t call Yair Lapid an antisemite because he is too shallow and provincial to have any awareness of how he sounds. He is just another empty suit of a dejudaized Israeli who stands for nothing except the material good life... | |||||||||

| ...I envy the historians of the future who will have access to all the material documenting our generation, the generation of the Oslo Brain Fever, when people’s brains went on the blink; when they made a deal with the lowest form of humanity imaginable, Yasir Arafat, that mass murdering, antisemitic psychopath and homosexual pedophile. What will the historians make of our time? Historians of the future will also have access as well to the archives of such as PMW, Palestinian Media Watch which has compiled a record which is perfectly clear that the Oslo players Beilin, Peres, Rabin, Clinton and State department Jewboy flunkies were perfectly blind. The idea of Oslo was that the Arabs here (claiming to be an ancient nation) had finally come around to accepting the rightness of the existence of Israel as it existed west of the 1949 cease-fire lines, and that all they wanted was the spoils of 1967. But if that were true, the PMW would not have an archive of the kind of material the PA media routinely broadcasts and publishes, like the rebroadcast this week of a children’s song played last May called “On the Way to Jerusalem,” and the refrain is: “Jaffa, Acre, Haifa and Nazareth are ours.” The first verse (it sounds like a child’s round) “I, Muhammad, sing about the Galilee and the Golan.” Then the refrain: “Jaffa, Acre, Haifa and Nazareth are ours.” Second verse: “I, Kabha, sing about the Galilee and the Golan.” And then the refrain. And then, “From Bethlehem to Jenin is Palestinian. Ramleh, Lod and Sakhnin are Palestinian. Nowhere is more beautiful than Jerusalem, no matter how far we travel. From Tsfat to Al-Badhan (near Nablus) is Palestinian. Tiberias and Ashqelon are Palestinian.” There are 16 place-names in this song. 15 are places west of the Green Line; only one of them is in Yesha. These people are singing about pre-1967 Israel... | |||||||||

| ...Which brings me back to where I often find myself: puzzling over the absence of an Israel that fights for and demands its rights; demands that the Arabs and world sign off finally on the League of Nations Mandate which created a Palestine that did not exist under Muslims, one explicitly intended to be the Jewish homeland. Bibi’s demand that the PLO sign off on that, and the inability of the PLO to do is the whole conflict in a nutshell. And I say Israel has to go even further and insist on our right to keep every square meter we took in self-defense in 1967. That is what this conflict is all about: the refusal of the world to respect our rights to this Land as per the laws of nations and the human right to self-defense. We took this land away from an enemy people that used it to launch murder squads to murder us in the 1950s and 60s; and in 1967 they made a second major push to succeed in destroying Israel when they had failed in 1948. Only in 1967 again we survived, we were victorious, and took this land that they used to attack us away from them, and we are under no moral obligation to return it to them and let them have another shot at exterminating us. Peace will come when Israelis stake their rightful claim and demand their rights. Which is the opposite philosophy to that of the Enlightened who unquestioningly go along with the ridiculous concept of a Palestinian Nation with rights to our ancient homeland... | |||||||||

| ...And then there was Dennis Ross today in the Washington Post writing of the two sides here in conflict saying, “There should be no illusions about the prospects of a breakthrough in peace talks anytime soon. The psychological gaps between the parties make it hard to resolve their differences that have bedeviled all the work for peace talks over the past few years.” “Bedeviled.” Now, that is a good word. A devil is at war here that prevents peace for Israel but it is not the psychological gaps, Dennis, between the parties. He went on to equate Netanyahu and Abbas who “carry the weight of their peoples’ history, and mythology and face enormous political constraints.” Here Dennis equates Jewish history with so-called Palestinian history, and “both sides have mythology.” The moral equivalence here between the Jewish prime minister and this bloody criminal is simply nauseating. Dennis, there are no psychological gaps. The Arabs have a history of being predators, raiders, armed robbers and their religion justifies their greed, their hunger to overrun the world. Dennis Ross always sounds like Dr. Phil or some other marriage counselor trying to get the two spouses to work things out and get back together. Dennis, we Muslims and we Jews have never been together. Ever... | |||||||||

| ...Lastly, it is good news that in the Iowa caucuses the anti-Jew Ron Paul came in third. Last week YNETnews.com quoted some blog called Rightwing News quoting some former Ron Paul aide Eric Dondero who says Ron Paul wishes Israel didn’t exist. Well, I wish Ron Paul didn’t exist. Dondero said Paul thinks Israel is more trouble than it is worth, specifically to the American taxpayer. People are entitled to their opinions but not to their ignorance. Foreign aid is like one percent of the federal budget and there are lots of other recipients of that one per cent besides Israel, with none of them, except Israel returning on the investment as Israel does. George Gilder lays out in his book The Israel Test the benefit to the US to US taxpayers via the aid it gives Israel. I would vote for any of the Republican candidates except Ron Paul, so I am enjoying this campaign because I don’t care who wins. They are all good enough to be president and anyone of them is preferable to the Islam-loving villain in the currently in the Oval Office... | |||||||||

| ...Lastly this evening, here is a case in which there are besiegers within and without working together. It was we know the pressure of the Left-liberal media here that drove Netanyahu to liberate hundreds of violent barbarians for the life of Gilad Shalit, and now it turns out, one of those liberated, one of those behemas afn tsvay feese / beasts on two feet, a Mr. Mahmoud Awad Damra has just become a major-general in the army of the People’s Democratic Republic of Balestine. This homicidal Hamite was responsible for the murder of young Eish Kodesh Gilmore on the Arab side of Jerusalem in 2000 and out in Benjamin about the same time the murder in a drive-by shooting, I think, Rabbi Benjamin Kahane son of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane and his wife Talia. The couple with their children were riding in the family car driving toward Ofra, if memory serves when either in a drive-by or from the side of the road the vehicle was sprayed with gunfire. This villain was at the time the commander of Fatah’s Force 17, Arafat’s personal Praetorian Guard. He was sentenced to life in prison, but two years ago Mahmoud Abbas, anyway, bestowed upon him the rank of major-general. And now he is out and has taken up his post. This is what I mean about the collusion of Israel’s enemies without and those within... | |||||||||

The government in Cairo said the raids were part of an investigation into the “foreign hands” behind the latest wave of protests. Heavily armed men in black uniforms belonging to the so-called central security police carted off boxes and files and computers. I think a frowning Lady Macbeth Hillary Clinton, the famous Middle East expert had something to say about this the next day. She was not happy. But what I am waiting for is the wisdom of LTF, Little Tommy Friedman who makes millions as a Middle East expert, when in truth he is a dumbbell because he is much too twisted up inside spiritually to see the Arabs for who they really are. LTF has the same understanding of Islam as his soul-mate Yossi Beilin, both of them cases of arrested development when it comes to hating their parents for whatever reasons which manifests and presents as hating the Jews... | |||||||||

This was a girl soldier Doron which interestingly enough is one of those bisexual names used here by both men and women. And then this morning in the newspaper was this dramatic studio photograph, done by like fashion photographer, of eight famous women in Israel facing the camera, taking a stand against what their spokesman called “an ugly, internal Israeli tsunami that wants to sweep us all away.” And who their spokeswoman was Tsipi Livni right there in the middle of the picture, most forward, standing closest to the camera, dressed in black trousers and black top like a ninja prepared to do battle. Her statement to the press about this “tsunami threatening to sweep Israel away” was characteristic of the anti-Haredi posturing and hysteria... | |||||||||

| Yes, Islam is a menace, the last of the anti-Jew ideologies that must also fall. I mean, the classical pagan world of Greece and Rome made its contribution but its metaphysics did not survive. As far as I know, there is not one person on the planet sacrificing to Zeus or Jupiter these days. Roman Catholicism, which supplanted Rome, seems to be in a parlous state. One diocese after another has been stripped of its wealth in lawsuits by victims of its predatory, homosexual pedophile priests. Its churches are empty in Europe. The top echelon of the Nazi command was heavily Roman Catholic starting with Der Fuhrer on down, all baptized in the Church of Rome. Nazism too, another antiJew ideology, has been defeated. Now it is Islam’s turn. | |||||||||

I think there were another forty dead today. The Arab League’s observer mission, the head was to arrive last night Sudanese Gen. Muhammad Ahmed Mustafa al-Dabi who was head of Sudanese intelligence when Sudan’s ruling Arab Muslim elite was slaughtering hundreds of thousands of black Muslim Sudanese, the Darfur people. It is this guy the Arab League chose to lead the peace-keeping mission, the monitoring mission. This is Alice in Wonderland meets Franz Kafka. The best thing the world could do, if it had the money and will would be to invade all Arab lands, conquer them and rule them as colonies, as in the good old days, for left to their own devices, these Hamitic Arabs are a blight on humankind... | |||||||||

| ...Now, as for the local response here in Israel to the Foreign Ministry’s sharp retort to the European attack on Tuesday, the reaction of Defense Minister Ehud ben Yisrael Barak was totally predictable. What Lieberman said to the Europeans was, more or less, “We will ignore you and you will have no say in determining the future of the Holy Land.” For Israelis like Ehud Barak, isolation from Europe is a fate tantamount to the death of Israel as they want it to be. In the words of Bibi’s book title, Israel is supposed have A Place Among the Nations and not be isolated. But the unknown secret of the especially Leftist Zionists which they hid from those they wished to recruit was that contrary to their propaganda about being proud Jews who fought back, who did not go like sheep into the gas chambers, their idea of a Jewish state was a non-Jewish state. In a nutshell, they came to the Land of Israel not to be Jews but to stop being Jews, as weird as that may sound. And there is a connection between that weirdness and Israel’s perennial begging for acceptance by the Arabs and the rest of the world. Some weeks back I mentioned an interview with former Israeli UN ambassadress Gabriela Shalev crying over how alone she felt at the UN. Versus Avigdor Lieberman who demands respect and not love from the Gentiles. In this, though, seen as a hardline right-winger, he is no different from that famous Leftist Zionist also from the Russian Empire Golda Meir, who once quipped that if she had to choose between being loved and dead or alive and hated, she preferred the latter... | |||||||||

| ...Lastly, more information has come out about that storming of the Efraim Brigade last week, the background to it. It seems the catalyst was the leaking of an IDF plan that day to destroy the Gilad Zar outpost at the order of - behind Prime Minister Netanyahu’s back - Defense Minister Ehud “the Socialist-Atheist” Barak who apparently has a bee in his bonnet about these outposts like so many of his peers. At the last moment, Netanyahu stopped it. One suspects that Barak wants to carry out the Supreme Court’s order to destroy this outpost in order to preserve the democratic life of the State which includes respect for the decisions of the High Court, yadda, yadda, yadda. I think that is rubbish on his part. Barak the youthful communard who grew up in a house full of atheists was raised to see in religion, and especially the Jewish religion, medieval superstition. Believing Jews are objects of contempt in Barak’s world, not fit for membership in Herzl’s state of New Jews. I still don’t approve of what this mob did but now have a larger context in which to understand it. What possibly could be driving Ehud Barak to destroy that outpost if not a bee in his bonnet? He is getting no pressure from Washington during this election year. His war against the outposts may be coming from the same dark place that drives Little Tommy Friedman... | |||||||||

| ...Did you see how last week Turkey’s antisemitically deranged foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu addressed parliament during budget talks and crowed how Turkey made Israel “kneel down in front of Turkey and isolated the Jewish state in the region.” Well, my immediate reaction to that last remark about isolating Israel in the region was “Baruch Hashem / thank G-d.” Isolating Israel in the region is exactly what Israel needs; as little to do with these Muslim states as possible because they are so spiritually, politically and mentally backward. And as for the image of Israel kneeling down before Turkey: this guy is as delusional as any antisemite. Antisemites have a poor grasp of reality when the concept of the Jew rises to consciousness. The political columnist Pat Buchanan is like that. He can be wonderfully intelligent, well-educated, clever and knowledgeable on many topics but when the Jews enter his mind, he blows some fuses. Maybe that is how it is with Ahmet Davutoglu. Here he is talking about Turkey’s budget and works into his remarks how Turkey made Israel kneel in front of it. When? How? Israel never did as Turkey commanded; Israel never apologized for our sons defending themselves before a band of mostly blood-thirsty Turkish Muslims. Notice overall the importance in the mind of this Muslim of humiliation as a form of victory and certainly its importance in the handling of foreign affairs. Foreign affairs between civilized societies deal with joint and separate interests and how to manage them via diplomacy; force being the consequence when diplomacy fails. Here, though, foreign affairs deals with humiliating others and making them kneel down before you. Spoken like a true Turk throughout their history. Imagine an American secretary of state or Canadian foreign minister, or British or Australian foreign minister/foreign secretary saying such a thing? For Muslims and the Arabs who gave the world Islam as well, the clash of civilizations is not about competing for natural resources. The Arabs, the Muslims, do not need the 2,000 miles of Judea and Samaria. The Arabs alone are 40% larger in area than the United States. What they are fighting over in their endless aggression against us is wholly spiritual, psychological, bound up in a miasma of their antediluvian culture... | |||||||||

| ......Well, did you catch yesterday’s latest verbal droppings from LTF, Little Tommy Friedman, who I call “little” because despite his 60 years I still hear a nasty little boy sniping at his mommy and daddy, like the Kahane-ite I described earlier. What Friedman never does in his pieces on Israel is present fact and argument; it is always a rant against Israel for its attitudes and feelings toward the Ancient Ones that Israel needs to change. In this regard Thomas Friedman is the worst commentator on Israel in print. Yesterday as he has in the past he worked into his text the words and phrases “apartheid,” “ethnic cleansing,” “stifling dissent,” “weakening minority rights.” He also wrote that “Israel sees America at its ATM”; that Bibi won all that applause before that joint session of Congress last spring because “that ovation was bought and paid for by the Israel lobby.” In this LTF exposed himself and not for the first time as no better than a low-life scumbag of an antisemite, for this is how deranged Jew-haters talk. What LTF just said was that all those 535 elected officials had been bought off, corrupted by Jews with big bucks. The Jews have corrupted the very heart of the American system of government. Not for LTF the possibly that those 535 Americans are pleased and proud to be allied with Israel and not with the ragheads who not only bought down the World Trade Center but attacked the Pentagon, the seat of the American military. LTF in his way holds his fellow Americans and their elected representatives in utmost contempt for allowing themselves to be bought off by Jews with all that money. LTF, and as I say not for the first time, exposed himself this week as an antisemite; there is no better word for his type of thinking when it comes to Israel. He is always whining, “It’s the Jews’ fault, it’s the Jews’ fault.” He is simply pathetic. Thomas L. Friedman is simply one of a posse of Jewish anti-Jew prostitutes who have made a life for themselves, well-paid in prestigious careers by bashing Jews. Had LTF never been an Israel-bashing journalist, he never would have been appointed by the New York Times as its first Jewish chief of bureau in Jerusalem since the birth of the modern state. Anyone chosen before then would have been for his dual loyalty... | |||||||||

Imagine the global shrieking were Israel to adopt the same law as Switzerland according to which no new mosque built can have a minaret. Uncle Shimon opined to Yediot yesterday the anti-noise law on the books is sufficient. “Don’t go and create a law with a religious argument. You don’t have to stir up all the Muslims and the Arab world against us.” Once again spoken like a true St. Simon of Oslo in his ignorance of our mortal enemy. Peres never understood anything about Islam, knew anything about Jewish life under Islamic tyranny, which is why he pursued so ardently the ludicrous Oslo peace plan concocted by his political vizier Dr. Joseph Beilin, PhD, another groiser khochem, a “wise” ignoramus about the Arabs. Shimon doesn’t see that whether or not Israel as he puts up it stirs up all the Muslims and the Arab world, our very existence fuels the fire of their burning hatred and aggression. Shimon said, “You can’t separate Judaism and democracy. There is no such thing.” It sounds like he thinks Jewishness and liberal democracy are indistinguishable.
