Islamic Wakf conducts more destruction at Temple Mount
2007-09-03 10:09:00
In past weeks, the subject of the Wakf conducting more of their demolishing on the Temple Mount has come up again. Here's an article for starters from Breitbart (via One Jerusalem) that tells some starting details, and here's some photos of when a policeman stood in the way of a tractor they were using, a very bold move. I'm going to post four of them here: The part showing what appears to be

How does it help Israel if we let Turkey blackmail us into not being honest
2007-09-01 20:05:00
The ADL caused such a scandal this past week by balking at proper recognition of Turkey 's genocide of millions of Armenians in 1915 that it was forced to reverse its position. But it also led to some very eyebrow raising discoveries about what kind of positions various other Jewish organizations may have on the issue, now being discussed by the Jewish Exponent: The Anti-Defamation League's

All South Korean hostages were freed, but at what price?
2007-08-30 21:02:00
Appeasement and dhimmitude are two of them, I fear. Here is the latest on the case: Under the terms of a deal reached Tuesday, South Korea reaffirmed a pledge it made before the hostage crisis began to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan by the end of this year. Seoul also said it would prevent South Korean Christian missionaries from working in the staunchly Muslim country, something it had

Kitty Genovese syndrome in Minneapolis/St. Paul

And it's got what to do with Islam. As Front Page Mag once predicted, Muslim rape would become a problem in the US, but worse is that nobody came to the defense of the victim here. From the Pioneer Press (via Michelle Malkin): As many as 10 people witnessed a man raping and beating a woman early Tuesday in the hallway of a St. Paul apartment building, police said Wednesday.

Leftists who demonize and abandon children

Sometimes, it seems to me as though some leftists are astoundingly incapable of congratulating someone for having the bravery to stand up and do what they feel is the right thing. I'm going to give at least two examples here of some who're like that.

Is Jonathan Demme taking Jimmy Carter's side?
2007-08-22 10:16:00
It would seem as though film director Jonathan Demme is one of the few people who's willing to side with Jimmy Carter , and has just made a documentary about him called "Man From Plains". John Podhoretz got a news clip about it.Demme and a camera crew led by Declan Quinn filmed an intimate portrait of Carter as he dealt with the slings and arrows generated by his provocative public appearances across the country.I wouldn't be surprised if it were favorable towards this awful man. "Intimate"? I think that could signal that this is gonna be bad.There's an earlier report here that Brandeis University had denied Demme permission to film one of Carter's speeches that says: Demme said he had hoped Tuesday's speech and the planned question-and-answer session afterward would be part of a powerful ending to his documentary, "He Comes in Peace."When they speak about a powerful end, that too could tell that something is wrong. And the title given there, which must've been the initial titl...

EU stops funding for Gaza electricity, but will it last?
2007-08-20 22:15:00
Here's a welcome step that the otherwise corrupt Europe an Union just took, but for how long?GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Hundreds of thousands of Gaza residents were forced to make do without electricity Monday as the coastal strip's power supply became the latest victim of feuding between Gaza's Hamas rulers and their Fatah rivals.European donors stopped paying key electricity aid over the weekend, concerned that Hamas is siphoning off revenues. As Fatah and Hamas traded charges of corruption, at least half of Gaza's 1.4 million people were plunged into darkness....On Sunday, the European Union stopped funding fuel for the power plant that produces electricity for at least 700,000 Gazans. On Monday, it said the payments would not resume because it had information that Hamas was "diverting" electricity revenues."We are ready to resume our support to the Gaza power plant within hours once we receive the appropriate assurances that all the funds will be exclusively used for the ...

More proof of Hamas alliance with al Qaeda
2007-08-20 22:12:00
The JCPA (via The Dread Pundit Bluto) has some news providing more confirmation that Hamas is helping and working with al Qaeda:The declared policy of Hamas to provide sanctuary to any jihadi fighter invites additional terrorist groups associated with al-Qaeda to plant themselves in the Gaza Strip.According to Dr. Zakaria Zain al-Din, chairman of Hamas' largest charity organization, the extremist views of al-Qaeda are spreading among the senior leadership of Hamas. Expressions of this were evident in the adoption of the radical world view of al-Qaeda that accuses other Muslims of being "infidels" and permits their being killed. Radical religious rulings permitted the killing of Fatah operatives.Abu Ashur, the right-hand man of Jaish al-Islam (Army of Islam) leader Mumtaz Durmush, confessed that their organization received funds and instructions from al-Qaeda outside of the Gaza Strip. Jaish al-Islam was responsible for the kidnapping of BBC journalist Alan Johnston in March 2007....

Norway's law enforcement may be worse than Britain's
2007-08-20 21:19:00
Don Surber (via Power Line) finds that in Norway, they've got quite a way of dealing with criminals: arrest, try, and then release them and let the criminals decide if they want to go to jail or not. According to Aftenposten, one out of five criminals don't turn up to serve their sentence:It almost sounds like something out of a film, but for the Norwegian Correctional Services (Kriminalomsorgen), the problem is real. 20 percent of convicted criminals simply fail to show up to serve their prison term, according to figures for 2007.Criminals sentenced to long prison terms are particularly prone to bunking off. Almost every fourth person sentenced to six months or more in prison failed to meet in 2006. The situation is only becoming graver, with a total a 1799 people failing to show up during the whole of last year, compared to as many as 1068 people so far this year."It?s difficult to make plans for the prison terms when we have no idea who will show up and who won't," said Ellino...

Britain's a breeding ground for even Hamas terrorists
2007-08-20 17:40:00
It's not just al Qaeda that's been allowed to roam free there. Even Hamas is given free access to the blighty as well:(IsraelNN.com) A special report by the government's Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center shows that Great Britain continues to serve as a center for publications of Hamas incitement. The report notes that despite the terrorism the British themselves have experienced of late, they are not preventing the use of their country as a center for the dissemination of publications that include incitement and hatred towards Israel and the west, and the encouragement of suicide terrorists.The report's introduction states that the Hamas terrorist movement attributes great importance to the media, both written and electronic, as a major tool in its struggle against the West....Although the headquarters of the Hamas media empire is found in Gaza, with guidance and help from Damascus and other Arab countries, it has a large branch in Great Britain, "which continues...

Houston defendants in Oil-for-food scandal should be charged with treason
2007-08-19 20:43:00
Two oil tycoons in Texas who collaborated with the UN in the oil-for-food scandal have plead guilty (via Michelle Malkin):Houston oilman David Chalmers, accused of funneling illegal payments to Saddam Hussein?s regime at at time when Iraq was the target of strict economic sanctions, pleaded guilty today to a conspiracy charge.Chalmers? business associate at Houston-based BayOil, Ludmil Dionissiev, pleaded guilty to one count of facilitating a shipment of merchandise into the United States, knowing that shipment to not be authorized by law.That leaves Houston oil tycoon Oscar Wyatt as the lone defendant still slated to go to trial in September on charges he made millions of dollars in illicit payments to Saddam?s government for the privilege of buying Iraqi crude.Wyatt attorney Carl Parker said today that his client is not guilty and intends to proceed to trial.

Olmert refuses to help all refugees from Sudan
2007-08-19 13:03:00
Ehud Olmert has said that he'll absorb 500 refugees from Darfur, but expel the rest. But look at what he called them:In a decisive move to address the African refugee crisis, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced on Sunday that Israel has agreed to absorb 500 refugees from Darfur among the 2,800 Africans that have illegally entered into Israel."Those who have entered Israel illegally from Egypt will be returned to Egypt," government spokesman David Baker said, according to the Jerusalem Post. "These people are illegal economic migrants and will be returned."Is that implying that they're literally illegal immigrants looking to take advantage of state welfare and jobs like those infiltrating the US? These are people who've fled from the Islamic massacres against the black natives of Sudan , and are really here to find safety. They certainly haven't found it in Egypt, where police once massacred many refugees. They all deserve to find some safety from the barbarism they've been forc...

A terrorist's wife loses citizenship in Tunisia

And who might that be? Suha Arafat:Yasser Arafat's widow Suha lost her Tunis ia n citizenship, the London-based Al-Quds al-Arabi reported Monday.Reportedly, the instruction to withdraw Arafat's naturalized status comes from Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.The Tunisian government did not state a reason for revoking the citizenship, but sources in the justice system said Arafat lost her "moral and material rights."Arafat, who has been living with her daughter in Tunisia since the death of her husband in 2004, was naturalized in 2006. Al-Hayat, another London-based Arabic daily, reported that Suha Arafat left Tunisia last month. A reason for her leaving the country was not given.It probably doesn't matter either. All that matters is that she's being punished for being as evil as her horrible husband, now thankfully deceased.

John Reynolds shouldn't be head of the Memorial Project

Alec Rawls at Error Theory reports that John Reynolds , the head of the Flight 93 Memorial project, has gone public about the argument that the proposed design still looks like an Islamic crescent. Unfortunately, Reynolds refuses to accept this, and even seem to think that Islamic prayer is determined by shadow angle, when it's really determined by direction towards Mecca.I think that John Reynolds should be taken off the project if he's going to respond so dishonestly, and not accept that the design that looks like a crescent is just plain wrong.

How America entrenched al Qaeda in Gaza
2007-08-12 20:25:00
This week, we've got some op-ed gold from Dore Gold on Opinion Journal:The U.S. and other Western powers are pushing for a new Israeli-Palestinian breakthrough, to help contain Iran and undercut the appeal of al Qaeda and radical Islam. A grand-scale Middle East peace conference is planned for this fall.The underlying assumption is that radical Islam has something do to with Israel-related political grievances. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has made this argument repeatedly. If he and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice roll up their sleeves and work toward a permanent settlement of the Palestinian issue, so the logic goes, they will be providing a powerful diplomatic antidote to the jihadism threatening the security of the entire Western alliance.But is this really the case? In August 2005, the international community embraced Israel's unilateral disengagement from Gaza , largely for these very reasons. The "occupation," which they tirelessly argued was polarizing the M...
