In Jordan, calls to fight terror by purging curricula of ideas that ‘aggrandize death’  

T. Belman. This is a very interesting debate. It is very encouraging that it is allowed to take place. Essentially, extremism is being taught in the schools and  universities even though Jordan’s constitution guarantees freedom of expression and political pluralism. The in charge of the curricula said, “On this basis, the committees for formulating and supervising [the curricula] were instructed to focus, in the framework of the new curricula, on concepts of good citizenship; tolerance, unity and equality in society and equality of rights and duties among citizens;  respect for the opinion of others, and pluralism,”.  Hear, hear.

Jordanians read a newspaper in a popular Amman restaurant

According to unofficial statistics, about 4,000 young Jordanians have so far joined the armed organizations in Syria and Iraq, a figure that places Jordan second only to Tunisia in the number of citizens who have joined these organizations, MEMRI  (The Middle East Media Research Institute) has reported. The media watchdog group has published an in depth report focusing on calls in Jordan’s media on the Education Ministry to reform school curricula in light of the problem of youth gravitating toward extremist Islamic ideology.

Kerry warns: Israel could become a ‘unitary state’  

T. Belman. Kerry doesn’t realize that the PA is not about to agree a peace agreement based on two states for two peoples. Any Arab leader who agrees to this will be murdered and such an agreement wouldn’t be accepted by Iran or Hezbollah or ISIS or Hamas or the PLO. There is no alternative to Israel remaining in possession of Judea and Samaria. The only question is should Israel maintain the status quo or annex the land.

Secretary of State warns that without the two-state solution, terrorist groups will be strengthened and Israel could be “one big fortress”.

By Elad Benari, INN

The comments came in an interview with the New Yorker published on Monday, and which was conducted after Kerry’s recent meeting in Germany with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

Kerry told the magazine that he believes that Israelis headed toward becoming a “unitary state that is an impossible entity to manage” and warned that such a reality would lead to Israel becoming like a “big fortress” and strengthen groups like Hezbollah.

Belman comes on strong in interview on the Zelda Show  

I have been interviewed on the Zelda Show every week for many years.

My interview on Dec 7/15  starts at 16:50 and ends at 38:60.

Some of what I had to say was deleted from the audio file. In fact I was temporarily banned from the show.

I was attacking the policy of Obama and Trudeau in pushing Muslim immigration.

Apparently, the radio station didn’t like my “racist” comments.

End the PA to end the terror  

DEBKA

For months now, Palestinian terrorists have been using their cars to run down Jerusalem bus commuters as easy victims. Knocking people down may not be enough. The terrorist often jumps out of his vehicle and wields a knife to kill his surviving victims.

Monday, Dec. 14, a young Palestinian from the Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina crashed his Mazda into a crowd waiting at a bus stop at the northern entrance to Jerusalem, near the central bus station. He injured 14 people, including a woman and her baby of one and four months. Doctors are trying to save his crushed foot. Four others were seriously hurt.

SUPPRESS SHOOTERS’ ISLAMIST TIES, OBAMA ORDERED  

How the Radical-in-Chief ordered federal officials to mislead the public about the Jihadist massacre in San Bernardino.

By Matthew Vadum, FPM

On the day of the deadly San Bernardino, Calif. massacre, President Obama ignored FBI-procured evidence that the attack was an Islamic terrorist operation and ordered federal officials to mislead the public about the true nature of the assault.

Although the FBI knew immediately on Dec. 2 that the mass-casualty event was a Muslim terrorist attack, Obama and FBI Director James Comey reportedly clashed over why Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, opened fire around 11 a.m. local time on Farook’s municipal government workmates, leaving 14 dead and 21 wounded.

Angela Merkel wants to ‘drastically reduce’ refugee arrivals in Germany  

BREITBART

Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Sunday she wanted to “drastically decrease” the number of refugees coming to Germany, signalling a compromise to critics of her open-door policy from within her conservatives on the eve of a party congress.

Merkel has resisted pressure from allies within her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) to put a cap on the number of refugees entering Germany, which is expected to top 1 million this year.

“At the same time we took on board the concerns of the people, who are worried about the future, and this means we want to reduce, we want to drastically decrease the number of people coming to us,” Merkel told broadcaster ARD.

Sarah Palin: Marion Maréchal-Le Pen and 16 Centuries of Christian France  

T. Belman. As my readers know, I have long been a supporter of Sarah Palin. This article is another example of why she is worthy of support. It is so politically risky to in any way support The National Front in France, that most people won’t touch it with a ten foot pole. But here Sarah is, with a public embrace of this party and its platform.

by SARAH PALIN, BREITBART

marionI have a political crush, but one I couldn’t vote for today – because she ran for office in France.

Marion Maréchal-Le Pen is the new deserved “It Girl” of French politics and a clear voice of courage and common sense in a country and continent in need of both.

In 2012, she earned the distinction of being France’s youngest elected Member of Parliament. Last week she handily won the first round of a race for the leadership of a large important region in southeastern France that’s home to the beautiful port city of Marseilles. Unfortunately, she lost the run-off election today because the two establishment Parties joined forces to defeat her.

Syrian war as testing ground for Russia’s latest sea and air weapons  

DEBKA

Like other manufacturers of advanced military weaponry, Russia has sought – and found in the Syrian conflict – a live battleground for testing and exhibiting its latest and most advanced tools of war. The two most sophisticated Russian armaments on full operational display in recent weeks are the Kalibr NK cruise missile and the Sukhoi Su-34 Fullback fighter-bomber.

Western sources commented Sunday, Dec. 13: The cruise missiles launched from a Kilo-class submarine provided visible proof of how President Vladimir Putin is using his intervention in Syria as a showcase for Russian military prowess..

Defense experts back IDF’s 2014 Gaza campaign, claim critics are invoking wrong set of laws  

Report by international High Level Military Group blasts UN commission, says Israel set a standard no other army could match

BY JUDAH ARI GROSS, TOI

Armies of the world would be rendered far less effective if they were forced to operate under the same restrictions as the IDF during last summer’s Gaza campaign, a group of former military and defense leaders from nine countries claim in a new report released Friday.

Following a months-long investigation into the 50-day conflict, the High Level Military Group — made up of retired generals and defense officials from Germany, Colombia, India, Spain, Australia, the United States, France, the United Kingdom and Italy — found that Israel not only abided by the laws of armed conflict, but far surpassed their requirements, despite damning reports by the UN and non-governmental organizations that accused the IDF of potential war crimes.

US Jews subject to 5 times more crimes per capita than US Muslims  

Every leftwing-lib journal from Slate to the Guardian to Huff Poo (not a misprint) to the NY Times, as if on cue, publish daily “news” alerts about the dreaded anti-Mussie backlash – an epidemic that we must contain, now! It’s not ISIS we need to contain. It’s people afraid of ISIS. It is an epidemic like Ebola. The same as we must keep an eye out for the dreaded onslaught of Bible-thumping armed-to-the-teeth Christians waging a Crusade in gun Free Zones – you know, your neighbors experiencing today’s rapture. Tomorrow’s rapture is another story…so Watch Your Backs! – AGB.

Climate Change Dogma or Data  

T. Belman. According to the participants in the COP21, the Paris Agreement is being lauded like the moon landing, notwithstanding that it must be approved by all individual governments and does not provide penalties for non adherence.

I have taken the position that the data does not support the climate change dogma, even though the “world” agrees with the dogma. Recently the US Senate held a hearing on whether the data supports the dogma. Here is a report on that hearing.

Sen. Cruz Confronts the Dogma of Climate Change Alarmism

“Public policy should follow actual data, not political and partisan claims that run contrary to evidence”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today examined the “inconvenient truth” surrounding the debate over how to interpret climate science data in a hearing titled “Data or Dogma? Promoting Open Inquiry in the Debate over the Magnitude of Human Impact on Earth’s Climate.” While many global warming alarmists claim the debate is over and have increased political pressure to silence those who have a different interpretation of the data concerning climate change, Mark Steyn, a witness at the hearing said, “Only a very weak idea demands that it must be protected from any criticism.”

There is no distinction between Islam and Islamists  

By Larry Klayman, RENEW AMERICA

WASHINGTONI personally will not vote for any candidate who calls Islamic terrorists “radical Muslims” or “jihadists.” The American people, and particularly conservatives, libertarians, and people of true faith, have had it with political correctness (“PC”). PC is what led the neighbors of the San Bernardino Islamic terrorists to not report suspicious activity at their neighbors’ house, where Muslims were pouring into the garage to make pipe bombs and arms to use against us, Christians, by attacking a nearby Christmas party and killing 14 Christians and seriously wounding 17 more. The hard reality is that we are at war with Islam, not because we chose to be, but because the Muslim religion itself teaches, by the will of Mohammad and his god Allah, to kill all infidels, – that is, persons who do not believe in and practice Islam. This means you, me, and our families. It’s regrettably that simple and scary!

Obama is seeking transformation rather than a “legacy”  

I AGREE WITH EVERY WORD

By Sylvia Thompson, RENEW AMERICA 

sYLVIATo the many gullible souls out there who truly think that Barack Obama is “legacy building” in his all-out assault on America, I implore you to bow out of the conversation because you are not seeing clearly.

The term legacy carries positive connotations of something bequeath that is to the receiver’s benefit. Everything that Barack Obama does is calculated to destroy America, which he despises. This man no more cares about legacy than he fears being properly prosecuted by the white political leaders whose responsibility it is to remove him from office.

I focus on white leaders, because whites are still in the majority and they fill the majority of political offices. If the majority of political operatives were of some other ethnicity, I would lodge my complaint against that group. Ethnicity is an issue only because Obama is half-black and he uses that fact to intimidate guilt-conflicted white people. Otherwise, he would have been impeached and likely in prison for treason by now.

Pipes to Trump: You Should Ban Islamists, Not Muslims  

Parliamentary Petition to Close U.K. Borders and Halt Immigration Already at 450,000

By Ted Belman.

Daniel Pipes wrote an article published by Washington Times titled Trump should have banned Islamists not Muslims. . With all due respect, that is what Trump did. Trump called for a total ban on Muslim immigrants “Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad.” What Trump is saying that we should ban Muslims until we can identify who among them supports Jihad. How else can you ban Islamists?
