Without getting into the question of why, it should by now be obvious to anybody paying attention that Obama has bent American foreign policy in a decidedly pro-Islamist direction. The submissive bow to King Abdullah and the humiliating apologies in Cairo would be sufficient evidence. Brutal verbal attacks on the State of Israel and denial of the right of Jews to live in their historic homeland complete the picture. Even traditionally Liberal Jews are getting it now! Barack Hussein Obama empathizes with his late father whose roots are in Muslim Kenya. His extensive Muslim family lives in Kenya, including his father’s second, third and fourth wives and their numerous children. Obama is a Kenyan who by some divine retribution was inflicted on the American people as President of the United States. 

So are the Jews of Israel doomed? Not necessarily! Haaretz, the Palestinian daily published in Hebrew and English, reports it as a bad thing, but apparently the “militant settlers” are both inclined and well positioned to stop the madness. Read carefully and you will notice, between the tears for the orchards of the Arab invaders and the blind faith in the power of CNN (whose ratings have dropped below MSNBC), that there is no chance in hell that Judea will be made judenfri.

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.

Obama: “Jerusalem Belongs to Arab Invaders. Jews Belong in Ghetto.” Netanyahu Disagrees

(IsraelNN.com) Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu issued a sharp response Sunday to United States pressure to stop Jews from building in parts of Jerusalem claimed by the Palestinian Authority. Israel’s sovereignty in Jerusalem is “not up for debate,” Netanyahu said, and Jews are permitted to build in any part of the capital city, as are Arabs.

Netanyahu implied that the U.S. request was racist, saying before the weekly Cabinet meeting, “Imagine what would happen if Jews were forbidden to live or to buy apartments in certain parts of London, New York, Paris or Rome. There would be an international outcry.”

State Department Supports Arab Squatter Rights, Judenfri Jerusalem

(IsraelNN.com) With the Obama administration turning the corkscrews upon Israeli sovereignty in its capital, the spotlight focuses once again on the growing Jewish presence in neighborhoods such as Shimon HaTzaddik. Arab squatters face eviction this week.

The U.S. State Department has made an unprecedented demand upon its ally Israel to stop lawful construction in its capital – specifically, at a property owned by activist Dr. Irving Moskowitz in the eastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah. The municipal housing plan calls for the site of the Shepherd Hotel to become a 20-unit apartment complex. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and other government ministers have categorically rebuffed the American ultimatum, as did Ambassador Michael Oren when he was called to the State Department to hear the U.S. demand.

A Look at What Motivates Jihadis in Southern Thailand

As he relates it, Adul’s entry into the insurgent movement was an almost seamless extension of his religious studies and his search for perfection in faith and practice. His origins are humble enough. His family are rubber farmers, and he is the first in his family to enter higher religious studies, for which his parents are very proud.

A studious boy, he entered the prestigious Samphanwitthaya religious school in neighbouring Cho Airong district, and from there gained a scholarship to study at the famous Thammawithaya school in Yala province, where he gained a diploma, reaching the 14th level of Islamic studies.

He wanted to continue his studies in Egypt, but his path was interrupted by events.

Adul recalls that he entered the “movement” in 1994 at the time he was studying at Samphanwitthaya school. His recruiter was a religious teacher at the school, but all communication with this teacher was private, taking place outside official class time. Read more >

Prime Minister Moussavi and the First Supreme Leader Khomeni

We haven’t written about events in Iran because we could not understand what the fuss was all about. The Butcher of Beirut vs. the Hitler of Our Time, and we are supposed to choose sides?

In all the excitement, highly respected Conservative bloggers lost their bearings. Stars like Michelle Malkin started posting in support of the “green revolution” led by Mir-Hossein Mousavi, who in the 80s arranged the attack on the US Marine barracks in Beirut and is widely known to be the founder of Hezbollah.

Bloggers pined for Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the first Ayatollah to come out in favor of nuking the Jews, to tip the scales in favor of the Butcher and his minions in their struggle to wrestle control from Hitler and his thugs. How one group of militant Shia Islamists would be better than another group of militant Shia Islamists is beyond us.

Of course, when the enemy has to expend energy suppressing uprisings in the rear it is a good thing by definition. Hopefully, fighting  each other will keep the Ayatollahs busy. So here is to chaos in the Islamic Republic of Iran! May the Supreme Leader and the Supreme Leader wannabe both suffer the fate they so richly deserve, in hell. What color should we display for that? Red?

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.

Spain has been fighting against Basque separatist terrorism for decades and especially against the “ETA” organization, which seeks secession of the Basque territories from Spain. ETA is considered responsible for the deaths of more than 800 people in Spain, a number that pales in comparison with Palestinian barbarism. (And Spain has a population almost six times that of Israel.)

Spain’s anti-terror campaign made a mockery out of any concern for human rights. Collateral damage and injury to innocent bystanders were regular and common features of the campaign. Anti-terror paramilitary fighters and forces routinely engaged in torture of captured terrorists. Numerous death squads sought out the terrorists and their supporters, quietly exterminating them behind the scenes. The government pretended to have no knowledge of their actions. Government anti-terror personnel kidnapped terrorists and held them without any regard for habeas corpus. Anti-terror militias routinely crossed the borders and snatched terrorists hiding in neighboring countries or killed them there. Bombs were planted in order to kill the terrorists. Many of those killed or tortured were in reality not even members of or connected with any terrorist groups. Many of the anti-terror operations took place in violation of international law and even of national laws. To suppress the terror, the government threatened and pressured other countries to crack down on the refugees and to deport them. Read more >

The CBC has a standing invitation for Stephen Harper to participate in a bizarre ritual they call an “interview.” In the ceremony a CBC “interviewer” uses a sledgehammer to beat the sacrificial Conservative to pulp. How smart is Harper? He has yet to accept.

The Canadian economy is performing surprisingly well relative to the rest of the world. You would think that the Prime Minister would get some credit for, at a minimum, not aggravating a bad situation. Read more >

Defying Bush and Olmert, some Jews refuse to march quietly into the showers.

Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister, is weak and stupid and Bush is willing, for some reason, to sacrifice Jews at the altar of his friends the Saudis. Bush’s duplicity is a constant source of pain to conservative friends of the Jewish people.

Olmert, with the support of the people, has just created a market for dead Jews. If a market exists, producers magically materialize and prosper. That is the most basic law of supply and demand.

Pray for the safety of Israeli soldiers and ruthlessly repair the world on election day.

Tikkun olam is a Hebrew expression that literally means “repairing the world.” Traditionally, it meant exercising good judgment to benefit the world in the future. Paying for bodies of dead soldiers is the opposite of tikkun olam. It benefits the grieving families and helps desperate politicians cling to power. It pays for today’s comfort with the lives of yet not drafted soldiers. Prime Minister Olmert is, essentially, surviving in the present by killing Jews in the future. Read more >

The long list of scandals involving Prime Minister Ehud Olmert (Kadima), keeps growing. Thus far he is facing charges of bribery, money laundering, fraud, breach of trust and more. On the weekend, Israelis enjoyed the spectacle of Tel-Tzur, one of Olmert’s lawyers, pressing American businessman Morris Talansky to admit that he, Talansky, issued instructions for the bank to transfer $160,000 to the Prime Minister. Essentially, the lawyer was arguing that the Prime Minister did not steal the money. It must have been just a regular bribe! They have no shame. Read more >
