Yosef Robinson who was shot and killed in a Liquor store robbery in Brooklyn on Thursday 8/19/2010.

Yosef Robinson who was shot and killed in a Liquor store robbery in Brooklyn

Not my usual cynical stuff, and on a different target. But I found the following story in the NY Daily News very moving. But first, take a look of the photo of the victim on the left. That is right, dressed evidently in Lubavitch garb, the victim is a black Jamaican Jew, probably a convert (although that is not made clear in the story).

I guess I found the story touching in part for this reason. If indeed he was a Chabadnik, he may well have moved to Israel, where he would be denounced by leftist anti-Semites all over the world and also in the Israeli seditious far Left for being a racist Zionist and a perpetuator of apartheid Zionism. He might have joined the IDF paratroopers, bashed in some terrorist skulls, kicked leftist butt near Bil’in at the security fence, thrown a pie into the faces of some tenured traitors. All the while being denounced for being a racist Jew. If he had lived.

Canadian Culture Moving South

No, we are not talking about the Barack Hussein Obama (mm, mm, mm) takeover of the health delivery system. This is an entirely different horror story. Watch appalling images of a Canadian girl conducting milk drinking rituals involving circumcision of recyclable plastic bags. Will the Obama administration import the barbaric custom as part of its cap and tax (“to save the planet”) legislation?

Offer Penis to Get New Job

Humour, Israel, Offir Pines, Politics · By Steve Plaut

Questions:  Quick. On which Israeli national holiday did Ophir Pines resign from politics?

Answer:  Any day in which Ophir Pines resigns from politics is an Israeli national holiday!

Ophir Pines is a politician whom I really love to hate. He is an obnoxious leftist McCarthyist. He led the Labor Party’s campaign against freedom of speech for anti-Oslo dissidents. After Rabin’s assassination, Pines led each and every Labor Party attempt to indict members of the political opposition for supposedly being collectively guilty of Rabin’s death, and he led the camp claiming that exercise of freedom of speech by Right-wingers was what ultimately produced the Rabin assassination. He repeatedly filed court petitions against Righists expressing opinions.

Pines was considered until yesterday, when he resigned from the Knesset, to be the up-and-coming Young Turk, the Bonnie Prince Churly, and next-generation-leader of the Labor Party. He had come in at the very top of Labor Party internal primaries. This – in spite of his total absence of charisma and his lack of any sense of humor. Pines looks like a young Montgomery Burns, and has yet to be seen cracking a smile.

“Pines” is actually a common name for German Jews. It is however pronounced in German and Hebrew, and I kid you not about this, “Penis.” Some members of the clan spell the name as it sounds, making their peace with the jokes. Others, including young Ophir, prefer the PG spelling – PINES. In any case, his name is pronounced Offer Penis, and for many years I respond to anyone mentioning his name with, “Sure, just not my own.” Wouldn’t it be cool if he had married a woman named Fanny Prostate?

So just what induced Prince Penis to abandon the Labor Party? I think the answer is pretty clear.  Rodents never stay aboard sinking ships. The Labor Party has sunk from a hegemonic single-party ruling class, running the state all on its own, to squeezing into the last Knesset as the 4th largest power. It is possibly about to split into two even smaller splinters.

The Labor Party has very simply been completely wrong about nearly every single matter on which it has taken a public stand. First and foremost, of course, the Labor Party bears direct responsibility for the Oslo debacle and all the existential damage it has done to the Jewish people. Pines completely supports all of that, but he can see that the Labor shiplet is a-sinkin. Read more >

Avatar – Hollywood’s Anti-American Wet Dreams

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 >

Canada’s Globe & Mail Has Become A Platform for Virulent Antisemitism

Antisemitism, Canada, Media · By Mordecai

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 >

Jews to Judea, Palestinians to Palestine

Ilan Ramon's shuttle exploding over Palestine, Texas

Ilan Ramon's shuttle exploding over Palestine, Texas

Friends, I have at long last come to a realization. The only way to bring stability and peace to the Middle East is by creating a new independent state in Palestine and moving all of the Palestinians into it.

I am of course referring to Palestine, Texas.

Yes, there is a town in Texas named Palestine and frankly I think it would be a wonderful place to erect a homeland for Palestinians. The weather is not all that different from that in the area of the Land of Israel referred to incorrectly by some people as Palestine.

Moreover, there are oodles of advantages to moving all of the Palestinians to Palestine (Texas).

First, their water problems would be solved. Palestine, Texas is home to the lovely Lake Palestine. Second, the largest employer in Palestine is the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. I guess that means the prison authorities. And who better to host the large number of Palestinians moving in to town and making them feel snug and comfortable! Read more >

Before She Hated Jews She Betrayed America

Jane Fonda in North Vietnam

She was at her best when she and Roger Vadim did threesomes with prostitutes in Paris. It has been all downhill from there. Vietnam, Barbarella, Tom Hayden, Ted Turner and lately Islamist terrorists. Soon she will be broadcasting Antisemitic bile live from Gaza to help kill Jews.

Jane Fonda, of course, is an experienced traitor. In North Vietnam, circa 1972, she gave a rousing speech that, no doubt, contributed to the death of many American soldiers and thousands of Vietnamese.

As I left the United States two weeks ago, Nixon was again telling the American people that he was winding down the war, but in the rubble-strewn streets of Nam Dinh, his words echoed with sinister (words indistinct) of a true killer. And like the young Vietnamese woman I held in my arms clinging to me tightly–and I pressed my cheek against hers–I thought, this is a war against Vietnam perhaps, but the tragedy is America’s.

Barbarella Supports the Destruction of Israel

Antisemitism, Canada, Hollywood, Israel, Letters · By Naomi Ragen

Friends,

Toronto had a film festival highlighting movies about Tel Aviv.  You’d think a city that pre-dates the Jewish State, one not in the “occupied territories” would not be controversial.  Guess what?  Jane Fonda, Danny Glover and Eve Ensler (that basket case) Naomi Klein, Alice Walker  etc. are protesting, signing a letter which says: “we are deeply disturbed by [TIFF's] decision to host a celebratory spotlight on Tel Aviv,” the letter begins. “We protest that TIFF, whether intentionally or not, has become complicit in the Israeli propaganda machine…we object to the use of such an important international festival in staging a propaganda campaign on behalf of … an apartheid regime.”

And now, the festival’s director, Cameron Bailey, whose good idea it was in the first place to focus on Tel Aviv, has backed down, calling Tel Aviv “contested ground” and vowing: “to learn more about the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.”  Contested by whom?  The Hamas?

Just shows you the inroads of Palestinian hate speak, and the useful idiots involved. Read more >

Jacqui Smith: Blame Prime Minister Brown for Appointing Incompetents Like Me

Humour, Politics, Socialism, United Kingdom · By Caidom

Johnson (incoming Home Secretary – – ed.) said Smith had no right to put Savage, the third highest rated radio talker in America, on the same list as a former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, a skinhead gang leader and a Hezbollah militant.

Last week, Jacqui Smith admitted she was not up to being home secretary, saying she should have been given some training for the job before being named.

“When I became home secretary I’d never run a major organization,” she told Total Politics magazine. “I hope I did a good job but if I did it was more by luck than by any kind of development of skills. I think we should have been better trained. I think there should have been more induction.”

Last month, Smith resigned her position in the wake of scandal over personal use of taxpayer funds and her controversial ban of Savage.
