Last week, the principal Palestinian Authority religious leader, the Mufti Muhammad Hussein, presented the killing of Jews by Muslims as a religious Islamic goal. At an event celebrating the 47th anniversary of the founding of Fatah, he cited the Hadith (Islamic tradition attributed to Muhammad) saying that the Hour of Resurrection will not come until Muslims fight the Jews and kill them: “The Hour [of Resurrection] will not come until you fight the Jews. The Jew will hide behind stones or trees. Then the stones or trees will call: ‘Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.'” Click to view

The past year has seen an ongoing debate among U.S. policy makers over what exactly happened in Egypt last summer. The Obama administration and former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton very visibly supported the Muslim Brotherhood government of Mohammed Morsi. But over the course of Morsi’s one year in power, the majority of Egyptians did not like what they saw as a systematic undoing of democratic processes in Egypt.

Egyptians took to the streets by the millions in July 2013 to protest against the Muslim Brotherhood government. When the military stepped in, headed by General Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the Brotherhood were ousted and an interim government was formed. The Obama administration was careful not to label the events of July 2013 as a coup, but neither did they come out in support of Sisi. Additionally, Senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham held a news conference in Cairo on August 6th and declared the events a coup. Read more…

Andrew C. McCarthy and I are allies over the long term, fighting the Islamist scourge in the same trench for two decades. But alliance does not mean singlemindedness and he responded critically today at NRO in “Can Islamism Evolve?” to my earlier NRO article, “The Growth of ‘Moderate’ Islamism.”

I wrote there that while Islamism – the radical utopian movement aspiring to a consistent and global application of Islamic law under the rule of a caliph – remains in large part violent and tyrannical, developments in several countries suggest the slight possibility that this ideology will evolve in a more benign and decent direction. To which, Andy responded with three main observations, which I shall briefly answer: Read more…

Belgium does not only support criticism of Israel. Its target is Jews.

Three killed outside the Jewish museum of Brussels.

There is nothing shocking in this terror attack. EU’s capital is a factory for Jew-hatred.

The daily De Morgen published the results of a survey among young Muslims in Brussels high schools. It finds that fully half “can be described as anti-Semitic, which is a very high rate”, says VUB sociologist Mark Elchardus.

Meanwhile, Belgian authorities have declared war on Judaism. A Belgian court in the city of Antwerp has forced a Jewish Orthodox school for girls, affiliated with a hassidic sect, to admit the two sons of an anti-Zionist hareidi militant who attended the Holocaust denial conference in Tehran in 2006 and was photographed kissing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

This article is well worth reading. Along these lines, I have been wondering how liberal progressives can give a pass to Sharia and even promote it like Obama does, when it is in total opposition to their values. One can only conclude that they in fact don’t have such values. Instead, they share certain other values with Islam, namely the need for control and power. They also embrace the Muslim doctrine of taqiyya (lying). Muslims and liberals are fascists. They keep telling us what we can and cannot do. Neither are interested in democracy or Judeo/Christian values. And that is the truth. Ted Belman

Languishing in Omdurman Federal Women’s Prison in Khartoum, Sudan, Dr. Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag and her 20 month-old son, Martin Wani, await their fate. While the liberal selfies of the world move on with their political correctness, social networking, and mindless entertainment, three fragile lives are about to be extinguished for the unthinkable high crimes of being Christian.

And where, pray tell, are Barack and Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, liberal Dreamers and all the other Muslim apologists in this country? Aside from the U.S. government expressing that it is “deeply disturbed,” our quasi leadership’s silence is absolutely deafening. Martin and the baby are – after all – U.S. citizens, locked in a cage in a dungeon full of infection and terror.

Make no mistake, Obama and his minions spring into action to defend Islam whenever necessary. But American lives, Christianity, or traditional values – well that’s another story all together. Read more…

Testimony submitted to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa

Arrival on the world stage coincides with the region’s collapse into political turmoil. They have only been nation-states for a few decades, yet their immediate political future, given an almost-nuclear Iran and the turmoil of the Arab Spring, is uncertain. To make matters worse, the trend line of their greatest asset—their hydrocarbons—is bad. In ten, or more likely twenty years, an energy glut is predicted for North America (Canada, the U.S. and Mexico), which will hammer oil and natural gas prices. So, even if the GCC member states collectively have more than 30 percent of the world’s oil and more than 20 percent of the world’s natural gas, lower prices would probably spell disaster for the relatively undiversified economies of the Gulf Arabs

This entire newspaper would not suffice to recap the anti-Jewish doctrines promulgated by Church Fathers which guided Catholic theology and practice down to the middle of the last century. For centuries, Jews were rejecters of Christ, “perfidious” objects of contempt to be isolated and humiliated until they “saw the light,” a non-people shorn of their covenantal heritage including the right to the Land of Israel. Inquisition, blood libel, pogrom, burning the Talmud and burning Jews at the stake, ghettoization and Holocaust – these were the fruits of 2,000 years of vicious Christian anti-Semitism. In our generation, one pope was complicity silent throughout the Holocaust. Another pope warmly embraced Yasser Arafat way back when (in 1982) no one else would go near the terrorist chieftain. It took until 1993 for the Vatican to accord diplomatic recognition to the State of Israel.

Greenwald characterizes Obama’s foreign policy as one of humbling America. While that may be true, what is also true and more fundamental is his decision to get in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood and now the Mullahs of Iran. Ted Belman

I. From Bush to Obama

In the last days of George W. Bush’s presidency, the Economist delivered a damning assessment: “Abroad, George Bush has presided over the most catastrophic collapse in America’s reputation since the second world war.” In the view of the magazine’s editors, “a president who believed that America’s global supremacy was guaranteed by America’s unrivalled military power ended up demonstrating the limits of both.”

Without question, the United States paid a large price for Bush’s policies outside the United States. There were two unresolved wars, thousands of American dead, and the lingering castigations of assorted parties around the globe.

Anyone with half a brain knew that there would be no two-state deal. The ugly truth is that only viable solution is moving the Arabs in Judea and Samaria out. Ugly? Yes, but all other options are primed to fail.

The lion’s share of the blame lies with the Arabs, who refuse to recognize a Jewish right to the land; but even had the Arabs been more reasonable, Israeli Jews were never going to surrender their patrimony. Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) are the Jewish heartland. No two-state solution was moral, let alone possible.

What to do with these Judean and Samarian Arabs? The ideas range all over. To arrive at the necessary conclusion of removal, it is necessary to show that other options fail.

The US keeps the possibility of negotiations on the table so that it can make demands on Israel not to take unilateral steps. Were Israel to write off negotiations as not going to happen or will lead to nowhere, then it is free to do what it wants. If the US ever wrote off the “peace process” then it would have no basis to restrain Israel which is its policy. Ted Belman

By Yitzhak Benhorin, YNET

“We would like to resume peace negotiations, and we think that both sides should take steps to make that possible,” State Department Spokeswoman Marie Harf said on Friday, commenting on statements made by Prime Minister in an interview with Bloomberg’s Jeffrey Goldberg published Thursday in which he said that Israel is considering unilateral steps.

The US spokeswoman further added that “no one should take any steps that undermine trust, including unilateral.”

Anti-EU, anti-immigration party gains 89 seats, having previously held just one, in early results; Cameron’s Conservatives lose 97 seats

BY AFP AND AP, TOI, May 23, 2014,

Britain’s anti-EU and anti-immigration UK Independence Party surged in local council elections according to results announced Friday, at the expense of the three main parties including Prime Minister David Cameron’s.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage said party would now be “serious players” in European parliament elections, which were also held in Britain on Thursday alongside the council polls in England and Northern Ireland, and in the May 2015 general election.

Despite his party having no seats in his national parliament, the beer-swilling, chain-smoking Farage has led UKIP from the margins to claim a major place in Britain’s national debate on its place in the European Union.

“The UKIP fox is in the Westminster hen house,” Farage said on Friday as the first results came through.

Keepod makes a complete operating system that fits on a USB device and can make old, refurbished computers act like new. It plans a campaign to offer low-cost computing to the two-thirds of the globe’s population that currently has little or no access. This BBC article shows the test bed for the project in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya, while omitting to mention the Israeli origin of the invention.(of course.)

Keepod: Can a $7 stick provide billions computer access?

By Dan SimmonsBBC 

The USB flash drive is one of the most simple, everyday pieces of technology that many people take for granted.

Now it’s being eyed as a possible solution to bridging the digital divide, by two colourful entrepreneurs behind the start-up Keepod.

Nissan Bahar and Franky Imbesi aim to combat the lack of access to computers by providing what amounts to an operating-system-on-a-stick.

It is difficult to know what is more disturbing: Whether Bayit Yehudi chairman Naftali Bennett really believes the delusional drivel he wrote in his op-ed this week, or whether he doesn’t, but wrote it anyway.

Israel must allow Palestinians complete freedom of movement, which requires removing all roadblocks and checkpoints in the West Bank. In particular, Israel should dismantle the security barrier erected throughout the last decade to defend against Palestinian terror attacks…

The proposals from the Israeli right-wing, however inadequate… add a little bit to that hope [of bringing an end to Jewish Israel]… We should watch how this debate develops and engage and encourage it….
