Michael Bloomberg amassed a huge fortune servicing Wall Street, got himself elected Mayor of New York City and some “very important” people began whispering about a Presidential run in 2012. So, how dumb can he be? Well, dumb enough to let Muslims build a 9/11 victory memorial on Ground Zero. All in the name of tolerance, multiculturalism, non-violence, blah, blah, blah. In other words, Mayor Bloomberg is a lefty elitist – an incurable narcissist.

On her Facebook page, Sarah Palin re-stated the case for America and the 3,000 murdered on 9/11.

No one is disputing that America stands for – and should stand for – religious tolerance. It is a foundation of our republic. This is not an issue of religious tolerance but of common moral sense. To build a mosque at Ground Zero is a stab in the heart of the families of the innocent victims of those horrific attacks. Just days after 9/11, the spiritual leader of the organization that wants to build the mosque, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, suggested that blame be placed on the innocents when he stated that the “United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened” and that “in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.” Rauf refuses to recognize that Hamas is a terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of our ally, Israel, and refuses to provide information about the sources of funding for the $100 million mosque. Rauf also plays a key role in a group behind the flotilla designed to provoke Israel in its justifiable blockade of Gaza. These are just a few of the points Americans are realizing as New York considers the proposed mosque just a stone’s throw away from 9/11’s sacred ground.

I agree with the sister of one of the 9/11 victims (and a New York resident) who said: “This is a place which is 600 feet from where almost 3,000 people were torn to pieces by Islamic extremists. I think that it is incredibly insensitive and audacious really for them to build a mosque, not only on that site, but to do it specifically so that they could be in proximity to where that atrocity happened.”

In Islam, the more things appear to change the more they remain the same. Back in the 620s AD, Muhammad taught his followers to lie for the sake of Allah. Deceit, murder, rape – anything necessary to spread Islam – were suctioned by Muhammad and his Allah in the Koran. Muhammad’s followers learned well. They deceive because they emulate Muhammad, the “perfect” man. Liberals just lie because they are stupid, malicious or Antisemitic.

In the upside down world we live in, it is sometimes difficult to keep the faith. Just when we have started questioning our ability to defeat the 1400 year old Jihad, along comes a true hero to renew our confidence.  Lest you think that the young man in the video is unique, you should know that pretty much all the “settlers” in Judea and Samaria have the same in-you-face attitude. One day these young people will run Israel and there will be hope and change.

Makes me proud to be a Jew and an Israeli.

March is upon us and seasonal Antisemitism is in full bloom. “Israel Apartheid Week” will be celebrated on campuses from Berkeley to London, where the Jew-bashing will be lead by Israeli “academics”.

LONDON – A Tel Aviv University professor is set to open this year’s “Israel Apartheid Week” taking place at three London university campuses.

Adi Ophir, an associate professor at TAU’s Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science, will open the event on Monday. “Israel Apartheid Week” takes place at the School of Oriental and African Studies, the London School of Economics and University College London.

Also taking part is Israel-born lawyer Daniel Machover, co-founder of Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights. Machover is also a major player in the campaign to arrest Israeli officials who visit the UK, on charges of war crimes. Read more >

Did you hear the one about the Gaza Jihad class? Teacher, strapped in a suicide belt, “Listen up, kids! I am only going to do this once.”

The long term problem Israel faces emanates from the demographic realities on the ground. With 65% of the Gaza population consisting of crazed teenagers, nursed on Jihad ideology from the crib, it is not possible for any leader in Arab occupied Israel to sue for peace. Read more >

Congressman Jack Murtha died last week, leaving America a better place. There, we said it! No squeamish preemptive apologetics. The Democrat from Pennsylvania, chairman of  the House defense appropriation subcommittee, was a power-hungry megalomaniac. Nancy Pelosi will miss him.

In John Murtha: Requiem for a corruptocrat, Michelle Malkin wrote:

We are not supposed to speak ill of the dead. But those whom the deceased viciously smeared and humiliated deserve to be defended. Entrenched Democrat Rep. John Murtha passed away on February 8 after a botched gall bladder surgery. He has been hailed as a “military advocate” (Associated Press) and “one of the greatest patriots ever to serve in Congress” (former Democratic congressman Harold Ford). These obsequious obituaries leave out inconvenient truths:

John “Jack” Murtha was an unrepentant smear merchant and corruptocrat to the bitter end.

He stole from taxpayers to enrich himself and his political friends. In 1980, he was taped negotiating bribes with FBI operatives. They get to the actual bribe in part three below, but if you have the time watch the whole gory affair. This is how Congress works. Read more >

Does this crap sway anybody? The answer must be yes. Otherwise, San Francisco wouldn’t exist.

Avatar is the kind of movie you get when you liberate a bunch of crazed Hollywood lefties from all financial constraints. With a $240 million budget, James Cameron managed to squeeze  every last Marxist fantasy into three hours of boring propaganda.

With the plot conveniently available on the Internet and no first rank stars, the balk of the money went into producing the special effects, with very impressive results. Not impressive enough, however, to offset the endless flow of anti-American, anti-capitalist, global warming claptrap.

The plot goes something like this. Capitalism, global warming and war destroy earth. Capitalists, aided by the Military, try to do the same to the beautiful, breath-taking planet Pandora. They are after – wait for it – unobtainium, because it sells for $20 million dollars a kilogram on the open market- about the same as a Hollywood star. We’ll never know why Earthmen need  unobtainium or why they are willing to pay so much for it. Apparently, it is just one of those things evil capitalist do. Read more >

How things have changed. Toronto the good, as it was mockingly called by the rest of Canada in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, has become a hotbed of anti-Jewish activism, sometimes disguised as opposition to Israeli policies, but usually not. As the city grew from Sunday blue laws to cosmopolitan metropolis, from a white Anglo-Saxon bastion to a multicultural hodgepodge, low level polite Antisemitism morphed into proud Jews-hatred.

Two things have changed over the past thirty years. Lefty ideologies of all shades of pink now dominate the city and the Muslim population has exploded (not literally, yet) from almost none to what feels like 500,000 visible believers. At the intersection of dawah (Islamic missionary work) and far-left (fascist) agitation lies the source of Antisemitism in this age.

Where do the local Antisemites go to promote their hate online? One place is the Globe and Mail, Canada’s newspaper of record. Read more >

Are you worried that a deeply disloyal soldier, who openly confessed allegiance to the Islamist enemy, managed to attain the rank of Major in the United States military? Chris Matthews isn’t.

Given the predisposition of the media against anything American, Christian or Israeli, it is not surprising that a Jihadi attack on an army base in Texas, by a devout Muslim, inspires (P)MSNBC to worry about rampant Islamophobia. It is impossible to miss Chris Matthews’ pandering to the Muslim overlords. The smirk on Nihad’s face, at the end, shows that he recognizes a subservient dhimmi when he sees one. Read more >

We couldn’t resist reproducing this post from On the Pisiiing section of Clareification, the weekly student newsletter of Clare College, Cambridge University. Students can be so precocious!

It’s a year since the demonstration outside the Danish Embassy in London, featuring, among others, the placards shown below. These and numerous other Muslims worldwide were protesting against cartoons that depicted Muhammad and suggested that Islam was violent. More than a hundred people were killed during the protests, including some who were, for example, burned alive by mobs.

In the words of the great sage Jamie Foxx: We shall fucking see

Its a few months since the Pope’s speech produced a similar response. Which brings me to: Read more >
