Neve with wife, Catherine, and children, Aviv and Ari

Just when it seems that there is no expression of academic treason that Israel has not seen and that Ben Gurion University has not defended as “pursuing peace and justice,” along comes Neve Gordon, the head of the University’s politics department, and issues a call in the Los Angeles Times for a world boycott of Israel. He says it is in order to save Israel. And a growing movement among Jews who do NOT hate themselves is organizing to boycott Ben Gurion University in response.

You know, to save it from itself!

According to Israel’s Haaretz, Aug. 23 2009, a large group of Los Angeles Jews are launching a campaign to boycott Ben Gurion University for as long as Gordon works there: Read more >

The harsh reality is that Islam is on the rise, the West is rapidly declining and there are hardly any Jews left. With a Muslim in the White House and Europe having morphed into Eurabia, it is hard to see, short of divine intervention, how Israel can survive and prosper. Apparently, other than Israelis, some Evangelical Christians and perhaps a few American Jews, no one sees a need for a Jewish state in the Middle East. People who call for a two state solution are not necessarily calling for one of the two to be Jewish.

Naomi Ragen succinctly introduced Peggy Shapiro’s article as follows.

More and more, this “two state solution” mantra, has the whiff of “final solution” about it. The Palestinians have absolutely no intention of ever recognizing a Jewish State. Period.  If there are two states, one of them won’t be Israel. Read more >

Benjamin Netanyahu has his work cut out for him. With the out of the closet Muslim in the White House strongly supporting the Palestinian Arab cause, what can Israel do? American pressure is clearly irresistible. Without American pressure, Netanyahu would have launched a frontal assault on Obama’s “two Muslim states” initiative. Instead, he had to settle for stealth gorilla warfare. His response to Obama’s “I am a Muslim” speech was cleverly crafted to agree with the One, keeping military supplies flowing, while laying sufficient booby traps to guaranty, with 99.9% certainty, that Obama’s “Islamization of Israel train” will be derailed. It is amusing to listen to Netanyahu pretend to preach creativity and commerce to a people seeking 72 virgins in heaven.

Here is the transcript of the speech. Read more >

“In my view the strongest force of all, one which grew and took fresh shapes and forms every day was the force not of any one individual, but was that unmistakable sense of unanimity among the peoples of the world that war must somehow be averted….. The peoples of the British Empire were at one with those of Germany, of France and of Italy, and their anxiety, their intense desire for peace, pervaded the whole atmosphere …

Ever since I assumed my present office my main purpose has been to work for the pacification of Europe, for the removal of those suspicions and those animosities which have so long poisoned the air. The path which leads to appeasement is long and bristles with obstacles. The question of Czechoslovakia is the latest and perhaps the most dangerous. Now that we have got past it, I feel that it may be possible to make further progress along the road to sanity.”

- – Neville Chamberlain, House of Commons, October 3, 1938

Friends,

President of the  free world, Barack Obama, made a speech in Cairo that should make any thinking person despair. And if that thinking person is a Jew, then in addition, he should shake with fear.

None of this is surprising, given all we knew about President Obama before he took office. But the blatant misrepresentation  of historic Jewish rights and ties to the land of Israel, which did not begin with the Holocaust Mr. President, and the blatant rewriting of Islamic fundamentalism, less its virulent Antisemitism, hatred of women, intolerance, tyranny, war-like nature and long history of barbaric terror attacks sounds like  the same kind of wishful thinking that led the world off the cliff only sixty years. Millions died because they had not the courage to face the truth and to stand firm against tyranny, hatred, and barbarism. Read more >

Despite the media’s best efforts to cover up, the truth is seeping out. Americans are slowly realizing that Barack Hussein Obama is a committed anti-American Marxist with affinity for Islam and deep affection for his polygamist Muslim father. His understanding of the Arab-Israeli conflict is grounded in the world view he absorbed as a child while studying in a madrassa in Muslim Indonesia (see Hillary Clinton Drops Madrassa Bomb on Barack Obama). Let’s hope that the enlightened Jews who voted for the Leader in 2008 will not live to regret it as much as the German Jews who voted for the Fuhrer 1932.

We have heard Caroline Glick speak. She projects passionate logic and focuses on the really big picture. The  Center for Security Policy’s Senior Middle East Fellow gave the following extraordinary address on her acceptance of the Ingeborg Rennert Foundation’s 2009 Guardian of Zion Award in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, the Eternal Frontline

Center for Security Policy | Jun 01, 2009

By Caroline Glick

Good evening. Members of Knesset, President Moshe Kaveh of Bar Ilan, Professor Benzion Netanyahu, former Guardian of Zion award winners Prof. Elie Wiesel and Arthur Cohn, and honored guests, thank you all for coming here today. I would also like to thank some very important people who made a special trip to join me here this evening. Thank you to my parents, Sharon and Gerald Glick who came here from Chicago. Thank you to Frank Gaffney, the President of the Center for Security Policy in Washington and my dear colleague, and his wife Marisol for flying in from Washington to be here. Thank you to Professor Avi Bell from Bar Ilan University Law School, my friend and intellectual sounding board for delaying your flight to New York where you’ll be presenting a paper at a law conference tomorrow, to be here with me tonight.

The Knesset passed the “Nakba Law” in its initial first round of voting yesterday. The law would make it a crime to commemorate Israel’s existence as a catastrophe or “Nakba”, an event that Nakba Nitwits think should be reversed. The Israeli Left is hysterical. If people cannot call Israel’s existence a catastrophe in the middle of a war, then how can they be expected to be good leftists and how will the country ever be annihilated? (Watch the video to get the article)

Haaretz is leading the hysteria. It denounces the law all this week as “racist.” What is not racist? When Haaretz’ Gideon Levy and Amira Hass celebrate terrorist attacks and call for Israel to be exterminated. Read more >

The International Women’s Commission is yet another of those bash-Israel NGOs (non-governmental organizations) that pretend to be pursuing peace neutrally, whereas in reality they are promoting the agenda of Palestinian genocidal terrorists. It is different from the countless other groups because it consists of women. Naturally, it wants to achieve a peace that involves creation of a new state of “Palestine” and naturally it refuses to acknowledge any right at all by Israel to defend its own civilians from Islamofascist barbarism and Palestinian terror, not even its right to protect Israeli women. Its “narrative” of the Arab-Israeli conflict can be read here and is identical to that of the Hamas, except when it comes to proclamations about how important and nice women are. (Gloria Steinem is an honorary member, ed.)

What is noteworthy is what took place at a recent mahjong klatch of these gyno-racists. Even more significant is the fact that the goings on there were exposed and implicitly criticized by none other than Akiva Eldar in Haaretz on May 12, 2009. Eldar is a far-leftist anti-Israel fanatic and the only good thing ordinarily that can be said about him is that he is less openly anti-Semitic and less openly advocating Israel’s annihilation than his two Haaretz colleagues: Gideon Levy and Amira Hass.

We previously wrote about the Golan here and here, but with Olmert’s confirmation that he has agreed to cede at least part, if not most, of the territory to Syria, it is time to re-visit the subject.

OK, so Olmert is a retard, but how little must he think of the Israeli people to try this fast one. The agreement calls for Syria to utter a cleverly crafted phrase, like “we denounce all terrorism” in exchange for the return of territory legitimately won by Israel in war – the time honored method of land transfer.

Every piece of land belonging to somebody today has at some time in the past been acquired through conquest. America is probably the only country to have paid for land in cash (Louisiana and Alaska). Historically, land has always been paid for in blood. That is just how it is. Anybody who tells you differently is either naive or lying. Anybody who tells you that times have changed is a fool or worse – a Liberal.

The Golan is strategically important. It gives Israel the high grounds overlooking Syria.

Israeli soldiers died defending the territory in 1973.

We always liked Senator Brownback. Now, we love him. Watch the video below and you will too.

Brownback also gave a great speech at the Jerusalem Conference.

Senator Sam Brownback (R – KS) gave a strongly pro-Israel speech at the Jerusalem Conference Tuesday, in which he advocated rethinking the idea of letting the PA administer itself. Instead, he suggested a confederation between the PA and Jordan, with the Arabs of Judea and Samaria enjoying limited self-rule. The current path to peace “isn’t working, wasn’t working, and will never work,” he said, drawing strong applause.

The PA, said Brownback, is not capable of administering its own territory. “After 15 years, billions of dollars in aid, massive international attention and unlimited diplomatic support,” he asked rhetorically, “what do the Palestinians have to show for it?”

“Nothing,” he answered.

Putting Jordan in the equation

“If our leaders want to talk in terms of a two state solution, it’s high time that we started thinking of Jordan as the second state in that equation,” Brownback told the audience at the Jerusalem Hyatt Regency Hotel auditorium. He cited a 2007 poll in which 42% of Palestinians expressed support for the idea of a confederation.

The senator from Kansas opened his speech with a clear statement of support for Jerusalem as Israel’s undivided capital. “A house long divided against itself cannot stand,” he said, echoing Abraham Lincoln.

Brownback argued that keeping Jerusalem united not only helps hold Israel together, it helps protect the religions which hold Jerusalem to be holy. He spoke of the freedom with which his wife toured the holy sites during their visit to Jerusalem, and said that he was sure this would not have been possible under Arab-Muslim rule.

Giving Hamas a haven

The senator expressed his strong belief that the Palestinians cannot be given their own state because “it would be giving Hamas a haven… and we simply cannot afford to do that.”

Brownback said that a Palestinian-Jordanian confederacy would work because:

Jordan is a country with good diplomatic ties with the international community.

It would halt talk of dividing Jerusalem, and because Jordan is largely a peaceful country.

It would strengthen Israel’s defense and security situation

He pointed out that Jordan fears falling into the same instability as Iraq is experiencing presently. If the Palestinian problem were to get out of hand, he explained, this would be a very real threat.

The senator ended on a strong note. “It is up to us,” he said, “to declare clearly and convincingly that Jerusalem is off the table… It is the capital of Israel!”

Sam Brownback for President!!!
