Palestine?s real enemies: other Arabs
2009-06-25 09:08:00 Arabs, rather than Jews, have proved the biggest obstacle to Palestinian statehood. Jordan looked forward to annexing the West Bank, Egypt wanted the Negev, Lebanon had designs on the Galilee, and Syria wanted everything. Nobody cared about Palestinian Arabs. Jordan, seeking to annex the West Bank, even banned the word ?Palestinian.? Later, Jordanian (the Black ...

I?ve been thinking about the friends I made there four years ago, and wondering how they are faring, and imagining their terror as the bombs fall on that giant, open-air prison.The Israeli ambassador speaks movingly of the terror felt by Israeli children as Hamas rockets explode in the night.

Wikipedia Jews Redux
2008-07-17 15:31:00 Updated July 19:I've been informed that the Wikipedia Jews (click the Wikipedia Jews category at the end of the post for more) have been successful, incredibly, at eliminating an entire Wikipedia category called Jewish Businesspeople. The list had 550 names on until a few days ago, and now it has zero. The Wikipedia Jews win again. The crusade to get rid of it was led by Jayjg, one of the Wikipedia Jews' top henchmen.Now the Wikipedia Jews are going after the list of Jewish Sportspeople. For what reason, I haven't the faintest idea.A little background. The Jewish Businessmen category was eliminated by the Wikipedia Jews in order to hide the truth about Jewish success in the US. Jews have been very successful in this country, and reportedly 50% of the richest Americans are Jewish. The Wikipedia Jews are trying to hide the story of Jewish success in America because it is common fodder for anti-Semites.All through the centuries in the ghettos of Europe, wanted Jewish criminals were ...

The Saudhouse
2008-07-09 07:55:00 Updated July 12:Are the Saudis behind Muslim terror most everywhere, or does it just seem like it?After all, 80% of Al Qaeda were Saudis several years ago. What's the figure now? We know that Zarqawi's Iraqi Al Qaeda was full of men from the Gulf, not necessarily Saudi Arabia, but Arabia nonetheless. Fallujah was full of these guys in 2004 during the two horrible US invasions of the town.And support for Al Qaeda is high in the Kingdom. A good 50% of the population supported bin Laden a few years back. The Al Qaeda unit inside Saudi Arabia, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, had vast support and was able to penetrate into the deepest recesses of the Saudi security forces during its operations. This is how it raided embassies.There were also times during the worst of the AQAP operations that the Saudi security forces just let AQAP escape from their very hands. This was due to huge support for AQAP inside the Saudi security forces themselves. What's happened since? With the death of...

Top Israeli official: 'We will attack' Iran to halt nuclear program
2008-06-07 04:17:00 On Deadline - USATODAY.com As Israel's prime minister returned from discussions at the White House, his deputy said in a newspaper interview that "we will attack" Iran if Tehran continues its nuclear program, the Financial Times reports. Prime Minister Ehud Olmet also warned Iran-backed Hamas it might face a "harsh operation" in response to rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip. "Attacking Iran, in order to stop its nuclear plans, will be unavoidable," Shaul Mofaz told the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper. "If Iran continues with its program for developing nuclear weapons, we will attack it. The sanctions are ineffective." It was the most explicit threat to date from a member of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's cabinet. In 1981, Israeli warplanes destroyed Iraq's nuclear reactor.

All the Israeli prime ministers except Ehud Olmert were members in the IDF and fought and killed Palestinians and Arabs even pre-1948 !!?? Being an assassin in the Mossad is not something bad there ,after all she used to kill those she believed that they were and are her enemies , that makes her heroin in her society ,she does not care about what you think about her !!?

Free Palestine: INTIFADA! ???????
2008-06-01 16:50:00 Image via Wikipediaby http://guerrillaradio.iobloggo.-com/ Intif?da, dall'arabo: ??????? "intervento", "sussulto") è un termine arabo che vuol significare nella fattispecie "rivolta", "sollevazione". Il termine è entrato nell'uso comune come nome con cui sono conosciute due recenti campagne dirette a porre fine all'occupazione militare israeliana in Palestina. L'Intif?da è uno degli aspetti più significativi degli anni recenti del conflitto israelo-palestinese. La prima intifada palestinese risale al 1987, con una diminuzione delle violenze nel 1991 e un totale esaurimento del fenomeno a seguito della firma degli Accordi di Oslo (agosto 1993) e della creazione dell'Autorità Nazionale Palestinese. L'Intif?da di al-Aqsa (nota anche come Seconda Intifada palestinese) indica invece il violento riesplodere del confronto israelo-palestinese allorché, il 28 settembre 2000, l'allora primo ministro israeliano Ariel Sharon e il suo entourage di 1.000 uomini armati, entrarono nel comples...

60 years : A Road Map
2008-05-29 19:38:00 David Ben-Gurion made it clear in 1948 when he said A Christian State should be established {in Lebanon}, with its southern border on the Litani river. We will make an alliance with it. When we smash the Arab Legion?s strength and bomb Amman, we will eliminate Transjordan too, and then Syria will fall. If Egypt still dares to fight one, we shall bomb Port Said, Alexandria and Cairo ? And in this fashion, we will end the war and settle our forefathers? account with Egypt, Assyria and Aram That was David Ben-Gurion from 60 years ago; it was not just a plan for a war or for country but it is like a new map for the Middle East 60 years before the new Middle East maps even appear. That old plan was full of confidence despite the fact the Zionists were not actually armies but gangs , that old plan was full of old history despite that then it was in the 20th century, that old plan was full of biblical terms with emphasis to old prophecies despite the fact that founders of Israel , that fir...
The Despots' Democracy
2008-05-28 20:59:00 Michael Gerson - washingtonpost.com wants to create a new catagory of rogue state, a rogue democracy. He makes a case for South Africa to be included. By his criteria, the US under Bush, Israel, and quite a few other countries belong on that list. Somehow, I don't think Gerson had that in mind. "Things on the ground," e-mailed a friend from a groaning Zimbabwe, "are absolutely shocking -- systematic violence, abductions, brutal murders. Hundreds of activists hospitalized, indeed starting to go possibly into the thousands." The military, he says, is "going village by village with lists of MDC [Movement for Democratic Change] activists, identifying them and then either abducting them or beating them to a pulp, leaving them for dead." In late April, about the time this e-mail was written, President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa -- Zimbabwe's influential neighbor -- addressed a four-page letter to President Bush. Rather than coordinating strategy to end Zimbabwe's nightmare, Mbeki cr...
