UK Equalities Chief Who Popularised The Term ‘Islamophobia’ Admits: ‘I Thought Muslims Would Blend into Britain… I Should Have Known Better’  

By Raheem Kassam, BREITBART

The former head of Britain’s Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), Trevor Phillips, has admitted he “got almost everything wrong” on Muslim immigration in a damning new report on integration, segregation, and how the followers of Islam are creating “nations within nations” in the West.

Phillips, a former elected member of the Labour Party who served as the Chairman of the EHRC from 2003-2012 will present “What British Muslims Really Think” on Channel 4 on Wednesday. An ICM poll released to the Times ahead of the broadcast reveals:

ISRAEL’S COVERT MISSION TO DESTROY A SECRET SYRIAN NUCLEAR REACTOR  

POSTING NOTE. This is a very accurate account of one of the many critical decision points in  Israel’s continuing struggle for survival: the decision to destroy the Iranian financed, North Korea designed nuclear installation in Syria just prior to its going active.
 Had Israel not acted promptly and effectively, Syria, Iran and many other enemies of Israel would have  obtained access to nuclear capability.  After the attack became public knowledge, with Syria to save face keeping very quiet, Israel was condemned by  many elements in the European Union and widely in Islamic countries for  “Israel’s “reckless offensive action –which might  have caused a war.”
It should be noted that the US  CIA maintained up to the end that the installation was not  a nuclear facility, but rather an agricultural research Center. [And that it took soil samples gathered at the scene by Israel  in a daring commando operation which were then  presented  directly to the White House to convince the US government that the Israeli intelligence was indeed accurate. Even then, the United States refused to participate in and/or even condone an operation to eliminate this  threat to the existence of Israel.]

War With Iran? Count Us Out, Europe Says  

T. Belman. Of course count them out. They signed on to the stupid lopsided Iran deal and were anxious to trade with Iran. Furthermore they want to cut Israel down to size and see Iran and her proxies as the ones to do it. Finally, anyone who invites millions of Muslim immigrants into their countries cant be worried about the Mullahs. Since Trump has been beating up on the European Globalist countries, the Europeans want Iran to give the US problems.

By Steven Erlanger, NYT

Punitive sanctions are making life in Tehran hard.Arash Khamooshi for The New York Times

BRUSSELS — With strong memories of the last catastrophic war in Iraq, Europeans are united in opposing what many consider the United States’ effort to provoke Iran into a shooting war. Yet, despite the strains in trans-Atlantic relations in the Trump years, flat-out opposition to Washington remains an uncomfortable place for European nations.

Initially, not even pro-American Britain would go along with the Trump administration, with officials defending a senior British general in the coalition fighting the Islamic State who said that there was no enhanced threat from Iran in Iraq and Syria.

The Humanitarian Hoax of Pearson Education: Killing America With Kindness – hoax 30  

by Linda Goudsmit, PUNDICITY

The Humanitarian Hoax is a deliberate and deceitful tactic of presenting a destructive policy as altruistic. The humanitarian huckster presents himself as a compassionate advocate when in fact he is the disguised enemy.

Pearson plc, a public limited corporation, is a British multinational multi-billion dollar publishing powerhouse and the largest education company in the world. Pearson Publishing’s reported 2017 share in global revenues was $8.2 billion with a staggering 60% control of U.S. textbooks sales. It listed the Libyan Investment Authority as its largest financial contributor. Pearson is an anti-American, pro-globalism, antisemitic, pro-Muslim globalized education provider that is indoctrinating our American children.

Pearson is the premier global educational humanitarian huckster hawking its anti-American message of globalism to K-12 students and teachers in America. Its globalized curriculum comports to Obama’s pet Common Core Initiative Standards (CCIS). Globally, Common Core originated from the One World Education concept, a global goal orchestrated by the Connect All Schools program. Its origin is funded by the Qatar Foundation International (QFI) and supported by the United Nations Agenda 2030. This is how it works.

Critics of Islam are doing a service for us – don’t blacklist them.  

Popular blog hosting platform WordPress.com has begun a censorship spree, blacklisting at least two blogs dedicated to monitoring the spread of radical Islam.

BREITBART

The blog Creeping Sharia, which documented what it describes as “the slow, deliberate, and methodical advance of Islamic law” was taken offline by WordPress earlier this week. Visitors navigating to the long-running blog are now met with the message “creepingsharia.wordpress.com is no longer available.”

“This blog has been archived or suspended in accordance with our Terms of Service,” explains the message.

On its official Twitter account, Creeping Sharia claimed that WordPress.com’s decision to suspend service followed a warning from the hosting platform that one of its posts violated Pakistani blasphemy law. Creeping Sharia says it received a similar warning from Twitter after tweeting a link to the piece.

Abbas Is Ready to Reject the Peace Plan, But Not For the Consequences  

By David May, FPM

Palestinians will reject the deal of the century if it does not meet their demands, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki warned last week. To prepare for the rejection, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been consolidating power for more than a year at the expense of his rivals. Though centralizing power may look like an effective strategy from within, it will not likely shield the Palestinian Authority from the consequences of rejecting the White House’s forthcoming peace plan.

Abbas met U.S. President Donald Trump four times between March and September 2017, while U.S. and Palestinian delegates met more than 30 times. After Trump’s decision to move the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem last year, Abbas severed political ties with the White House. Abbas then set in motion a series of moves designed to consolidate his political power and prepare his political allies to face the aftermath of dismissing the American peace proposal.

TIME FOR IRAN TO FACE A RECKONING  

The mullahs can only be stopped by means of “the mailed fist.”

By Bruce Thornton, FPM

While the media obsess over chimeras like the president’s obstruction of justice for nonexistent crimes, and AG Barr’s impeachment for obeying the law, a collision between the U.S. and Iran is brewing in the Middle East. The question now is whether Iran will finally face the reckoning it has invited and deserved for 42 years, or the latest crisis will peter out into U.S. saber-rattling and empty threats.

Donald Trump has made a good start at ending our nearly half-century appeasement of a regime that has declared war on the U.S. and backed it up by murdering Americans and working to create nuclear weapons that would make even more difficult, or even prohibitive, the price of punishing them for their aggression.

700 reasons not to create a Palestinian state  

Gaza has become the most graphic illustration of why relinquishing Judea and Samaria to the perennially hostile and extremely corrupt Palestinian Authority is a fantastically dangerous idea.

By Moshe Phillips, JNS

 The nearly 700 rockets fired at Israel by terrorists from Gaza by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in early May were not just another round of the same mini-wars between Israel and Hamas to which the world has become accustomed to. Coming just as U.S. President Donald Trump’s “deal of the century” for Arab-Israeli peace is reportedly weeks from being launched, the rockets offer 700 vivid demonstrations of why a Palestinian state must not be created.

The international community for years badgered Israel to leave the Gaza Strip. Israelis were told that if only the occupation ended, then Gazans would embrace peace. That the presence of Israeli soldiers and Jewish communities in Gaza were the obstacles to peace. That once Israel withdrew, the Gaza Palestinians would no longer have a reason to attack Israel. And that “if even a single missile were fired into Israel from Gaza,” the Israeli army would be justified in reoccupying the area.

Analysis Netanyahu and Lieberman Are in a Standoff Over Gaza.  

T. Belman. Verter leads the reader to believe that Bibi is almost certainlty facing jail time if he doesn’innoculate himself. I don’t think that is the case. All the indictments should they come are vary fragil and don’t warrent prosecution let alone jail time.

The Government’s Fate Is at Stake

Lieberman’s all-or-nothing terms for joining the coalition have put Netanyahu on edge

Yossi Verter, HAARETZ

Illustration: Lieberman whips an elephant-shaped Netanyahu in a circus scene.

Amos Biderman

Amid the danger that lurks for us, the darkness that envelops us, the stench that’s smacking us, a rather delightful comic moment was recorded this week: Benjamin Netanyahu was caught in a lie. In interviews he gave on the eve of the election, he had denied – vehemently, contemptuously, even angrily – the brazen allegation that he was planning to push through an immunity law tailored specifically to his personal and felonious measurements. But now, alas, suddenly it’s actually taking shape before our very eyes.

The Third Gulf War has already begun  

The location and number of vessels in the Straits of Hormuz that were sabotaged by Iran this week send a clear message from Iran to Trump, and the US president will not take that lying down.

Dr. Mordechai Kedar, INN

On Monday morning, May 12, 2019, four oil tankers sailing in international waters were attacked as they made their way out of the Straits of Hormuz towards the Indian Ocean. The details of the sabotage are still unclear as these words are being written: who attacked, where they escaped to, how they attacked and how much damage they inflicted.  My intuition tells me that Western Intelligence agencies, certainly the American ones, know exactly who attacked and how the sabotage was accomplished.

All the media pundits are pointing an accusing finger at Iran, situated in direct sight of the Hormuz passage, and blaming it for the quadruple attack. It is not the first time Iran has behaved in this manner. On July 25, 2018, ten months ago, two Saudi tankers, sailing south of the Red Sea opposite the Hudeida port north of the Bab el Mandeb Straits, were attacked. The attackers were the Houthi rebels in Yemen who have been in direct conflict with the Saudis for years, but one month after the attack a senior Iranian officer admitted that the Houthis acted at Iran’s request.

Reclaiming the Language of Human Rights to Advance Peace in the Middle East  

by Dr. Eric R. Mandel

While speaking in Europe last week on political Islamism, the Iran agreement, and American national security interests in the Middle East, I continually emphasized the importance of reading multiple points of view to combat today’s editorialization of the news.

To do this effectively, you must literally examine the “accepted” meaning of words used to describe Israel’s behavior in the Palestinian conflict. Far too often, benign sounding words like “human rights” have been transformed into rhetorical weapons to advance a political agenda – in academia, the media, or in Congress – whose goal is to undermine America’s relationship with Israel, and Israel’s very legitimacy as a nation-state.

When I am in meetings at US congressional offices or when I lecture, I assume everyone does not share the same understanding of “international law, occupation, war crimes, Zionism, two states and human rights,” and I take pains to clarify their meanings in context.

EMP attack: Worst Case Scenario  

By Brian F. Sullivan

When last I wrote about the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) issue, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) had yet to publish its proposed rule for Mitigating Beyond Design Basis Events (MBDBE).

Since then, in a 3 to 2 vote, the NRC has gutted the rule, so as to leave our nuclear power plants vulnerable to major floods, earthquakes and the aftermath of a man-made or solar EMP.

The good news is that on March 26 President Trump issued an Executive Order titled Coordinating National Resilience to Electromagnetic Pulses in an effort to assess the risks of such an attack on our national electric grid and critical infrastructure, which would include our nuclear power plants.

IRAN’S PLAN FOR ATTACKING US WILL FAIL  

Iran’s “Non-Nuke EMP and Swarm” anti-US Fleet attack is doomed to failure as the US deploys its weaponry.

By Mark Langfan

This is not the first time a non-nuclear EMP device has been threatened by the Middle-East against the West. In 2013 I reported that on Sept. 26, 2013, Syrian President Bashar Assad said that Syria possesses “more advanced weaponry which can serve as a detterent and blindside Israel within seconds…”

No one can describe non-nuclear conventional EMPs better than its maker the Boeing Company. On 22 October 2012, Boeing released a press release and video that explained conventional EMP weapons as follows: “A recent weapons flight test in the Utah desert may change future warfare after the missile successfully defeated electronic targets with little to no collateral damage.

Boeing and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Directed Energy Directorate, Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., successfully tested the Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) during a flight over the Utah Test and Training Range.

Trump’s Cold War with China  

By Alexander G. Markovsky, AMERICAN THINKER

When an article begins with, “Just about everyone understands…” or “There can be little doubt…” you know that the author has a weak case.

Investors Business Daily’s post, dated May 10th begins just like that:

“Just about everyone else understands that the Trump trade war will be bad for US investors, consumers, retailers and manufacturers. The trade war will hit consumer spending and could freeze business investment in the US. It will damage American business prospects in the world’s second largest economy. It will hurt global growth and pressure global financial markets. The longer this takes to sink in, the greater the damage to the U.S. economy.”

While Donald Trump’s critics see the trade war through the prism of a hundred dollar price increase for washers and dryers or impact on the cost of footwear, Trump sees the rise of China as a major economic and geopolitical threat.

What’s in the Future for European Jews  

Victor Rosenthal

If American Jews are going to have it tough in the future, things look worse for Europeans.

The recent attempted murder of a Jewish woman in Sweden, apparently committed by a Muslim man “known to the police” and possibly motivated by antisemitism, brings up yet again the question of whether Jews are safe in Europe.

They aren’t – but neither are non-Jewish native Europeans.

For Jews, it isn’t a problem. They have a country, whether they like it or not. It is here waiting for them. Europeans, on the other hand, are stuck where they are, especially if they want to preserve their historic cultures. There are too many of them to go to America or Australia, even if they wanted to.

Evangelical leader calls for war on antisemitism among Christians  

CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM IS MAKING A COMEBACK AND CHRISTIAN LEADERS MUST PUBLICLY CONDEMN IT

(NASHVILLE, TN) –May 15, 2019—A major Evangelical voice of leadership in America’s war on antisemitism today released a statement challenging other Christian leaders to join her in exposing the growing threat of anti-Semitism among American Christians.

Laurie Cardoza-Moore, founder and president of Proclaiming Justice to The Nations (PJTN) noted today,

“A frightening reality is emerging in American Christianity and is being underscored by the perpetrators of violence and hatred against Jews that have resulted in national headlines such as the Tree of Life Synagogue massacre in Pittsburgh and the Chabad tragedy in Poway, California last month. Just last week, in Russellville, Arkansas, a peaceful Holocaust memorial event made national headlines when protesters bearing crosses, a large sign with an image of the face of Jesus and a huge placard reading ‘God has the oven pre-heated,’ disrupted it. This trend resembles a frightening resurgence of the vile anti-Semitism perpetrated by Christians against Jews throughout history.  From the pogroms of Europe, to the Inquisition in Spain and the Christian Nationalists born out of Nazi Germany, this trend is dangerously becoming too frequent in America under the guise of the heretical teaching of Replacement Theology. It is time for Christian leadership to condemn this ancient hatred we see arising in our generation.”

Vile comments should have no place in Congress  

By Victor Sharpe

House Republican Conference Chair, Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), knows well the warnings of history especially when she points out that; “History teaches us that anti-Semitism begins with words and becomes something far worse.”

Hateful anti-Jewish tropes frequently drop from the lips of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich). It is like corrosive acid laced with foul calumny.

This hate ridden and sometimes hijab shrouded woman made the obscene statement that, “the Holocaust gives her “a calming feeling” in part because her “ancestors the Palestinians” helped create “a safe haven for Jews.” Nothing could be further from the truth.
