President Obama’s airplane buzzed Ground Zero scaring shoppers, office workers and children. If President Bush pulled this stunt the headlines in the New York Times would have been “Bush Attacks New York: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit.” Since the culprit is the smartest President ever, it all got blamed on Moishe Poopick, a $60,000 a year clerck working in the sub-basement archives of City Hall. Sure, somebody in the White House knew about it, but it wasn’t anybody with a window office. The smartest President definitely did not know about it and the best Press Secretary in history, Robert Gibbs, when asked by a reporter to explain why Obama buzzed New York responded “you should call the White House.” Waw! Brilliant!

Mark Steyn has been forced to defend himself against charges of hate speech in three provinces of the Dominion for publishing statistics about Islam and Muslims. His thought provoking book, America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, contains a wealth of useful demographic data. The book is a best seller in the United States. In Canada you have to search the dark corners at the back of the store to find it and in Britain it is outlawed. Steyn’s thesis is disturbing to a culture that rgularly runs television ads demanding “DIVERSITY NOW!” If you missed the book, you can get a synopsis, or perhaps just a slice, of the relevant demographics by watching the video above. There is no attribution to Mark Steyn, but there most likely should be. The religious twist at the end is an improvisation by the video producer.

President Obama, Ben Bernanke and Warn Buffett declared “war on the economy.” The economy is losing. It is simply not possible for the Fed to borrow trillions of dollars, driving interest rates up, simultaneously printing trillions to push rates back down to the .25% target, without diluting the cash savings of individuals and inflating the prices of everything else. Yet, in the trenches, life goes on. The troops follow old routines as if nothing has changed.

Investors are sitting on cash as a defensive strategy, just like they have always done, unaware that the forces unleashed by Obama’s “war on the economy” are bound to reduce the value of cash on hand. As the newly minted money trickles down from the political classes, through their Wall Street buddies, to main street, there will be twice as many pieces of paper chasing the same assets. Shouldn’t we all be buying assets now, before the wave of Bernanke dollars washes ashore? Read more >

Today is Yom Hazikaron, the day Israelis remember the fallen warriors of past wars. Tomorrow is Yom Haatzmaut, Independence Day.

Unlike North Americans, Israelis are intimately familiar with war. Being surrounded by hundreds of millions of hostile neighbors makes that inevitable. Most Israelis serve in the armed forces from the age of 18 to 21 and do up to a month of military reserve duty each year well into their forties.

Each generation of Jews has its tormentors. Each generation of Israelis has its wars. My father fought in the 1956 Sinai War. He was an experienced soldier, having been trained by the Russian army defending Stalingrad during World War II. He just missed the War of Independence, arriving in Israel in late 1948. The Six Day War of 1967 was my war.

I remember the resolve of the nation in June 1967. We knew that the enemy wanted our destruction while we only wanted to be left alone. We knew that we were honorable and good and that they were blood thirsty savages. Much of the clarity and courage eroded over time. Relentless attacks by post-Jewish, post-Zionist hordes of pseudo-intellectual academics, pontificating TV talking heads and corrupt useful idiots in the political classes have weakened the people’s resolve and undermined the military.

Way back then, we were not afraid to name the enemy. We were proud to use the biggest bombs we had. We named each military operation as we pleased and if the enemy did not like it we rubbed his face in it. In the days of empire, the British used pig skin to bury killed Jihadis, as a deterrent. Worked every time! Alas, we don’t do that anymore. We are all sophisticates now. “Infinite Justice” would have been a wonderful name for an operation to avenge the 9/11 attacks, precisely because the enemy found the name irritating. Under pressure from “our friends the Saudis,” Bush changed the name to “Enduring Freedom” and Obama to “An Overseas Contingency Operation.” Do you feel safe yet?

Here is a photo gallery commemorating the Six Day War.

According to Gideon Levi, writing in Haaretz, “Contemporary comparisons leap out at you, page after page, day after day, in this diary of mounting horrors in prewar Germany, no matter how vast the differences.” Thus he feels compelled to draw his own comparison between the Nazis and the Israelis.

Have you watched CNN live from Gaza? Have you noticed the Palestinians that look like the Jewish Holocaust survivors in the randomly selected photo above?

On the morning of June 5, 1967, I was manning my post on the Jordanian border. I did not know that just before dawn General Mordecai “Motti” Hod issued the order.

URGENT

From: Air Force Commander 050800

To: All Units

The Egyptian enemy has risen to exterminate us. The IAF, the clenched fist of the IDF, received the order to lead the battle. And so begins the third leg in the battle for our survival.

As in 1948 and 1956 the enemy is coming from all directions.

The spirit of past heroes goes with you into battle. Let the memory of Joshua, King David’s warriors, the Maccabees, and the soldiers of the 1956 Sinai war, be the source of your inspiration. They will give you the strength to crush the Egyptian enemy who threatens our nation. With a decisive victory we will secure peace for ourselves, our children and future generations.

Soar and swoop down on the enemy, bomb them to rubble, remove their fangs, and scatter them in the desert so that the People of Israel may live eternally secure in their homeland. —

General Motti Hod did not understand his Arab neighbors and underestimated the tenacity of Islamists. He had no way of knowing how things will evolve. The magnificent victory did not bring “peace for ourselves, our children and future generations.”

Four more wars and a couple of intifadas didn’t do it. Maybe the next war will.

Those of you who hold that things tend to balance out over time, take heart! Canada, the country that gave us Louise Arbour, the incompetent former High Commissioner for Human Rights, moderator of the Durban I hate fest and future CEO of the International Crisis Group, has also produced Anne Bayefsky. Here, via Naomi Ragen, is Bayefsky’s dress down of the Durban II gathering of anti-Semites, thugs and gangster.

STATEMENT BY ANNE BAYEFSKY AT THE THIRD SUBSTANTIVE PREPARATORY MEETING OF THE DURBAN REVIEW CONFERENCE

April 17, 2009

United Nations, Palais des Nations, GENEVA, Switzerland

The eyes of millions of victims of racism, xenophobia and intolerance are upon YOU, the representatives of states and the United Nations. And instead of hope you have given them despair. Instead of truth you have handed them diplomatic double-talk. Instead of combating antisemitism you have handed them a reason for Jews to fear UN-driven hatemongering on a global scale. Read more >

The Canadian Jewish lobby is, thank G-d, more powerful than its usual tendency to appease would suggest. Apparently, they managed to get ani-Semite Denis Rancourt fired from his post as a pseudo-academic in the University of Ottawa. Steven Plaut has the story.

Down goes another “academic” Anti-Semite, out come the Leftist Complaints about the “Zionist Bogeyman”

An Ottawa anti-Semite professor gets himself fired due to gross insubordination and the Left blames the Jews and the “Lobby” once again!

Yes, he was an anti-Semitic crackpot at the University of Ottawa who regularly invited Holocaust Denier Michel Chossudovsky to lecture to his classes.  So now he blames dem Joos, of course, for his getting fired. Read more >

You got to love the Blogosphere. Breitbart dug up a video showing CNN reporter Susan Roesgen inciting a demonstration by a bunch of losers just a few months ago. Of course, they were demonstrating in support of Obama.

This is getting better by the minute. Founding Bloggers kept their own cameras rolling after CNN turned theirs off. Don’t miss the good parts. Watch the entire video. You almost feel for the entrapped Roesgen. Almost. Clearly people are angry at Obama’s money grab, and that is a good thing.
