This is Real Apartheid
Saudi traffic sign indicating that only Muslims may enter Mecca.
“The Arab Muslim world frequently and erroneously describes Israel as an “apartheid” state. Once again a picture speaks volumes as to which society practices discrimination on a massive scale. Perhaps Secretary of State Rice should view this and then re-assess her sympathies for the “poor Palestinians” who, according to her own words, like southern blacks in the 1950s suffer from “Israeli apartheid” practices and address her concerns to Mecca, Cairo, Damascus, Tehran, and dozens of other capitals.” — Dr. Steve Carol, Associate Producer and Historian of the Middle East Radio Forum
Leftists Photographed Staging "Settler Harassment of Arabs"
Residents of the Shomron town of Elon Moreh have accused extreme-left activists of deliberately damaging Arab property in order to create conflict. They also say Yediot Acharonot and its associated website Ynet have refused to correct their libel.Benny Katzover, a senior founder of Elon Moreh, spoke with Arutz-7 and recounted the events leading up to what he says were attempts by left-wing activists to sully Jewish residents’ good names and create conflict with the neighboring Arab village.
The village in question, Dir el-Hattab, was hooked up to the Israeli water utility thanks to Katzover’s own initiative as mayor of Elon Moreh. Recently, Jewish youth who refurbished a park area within Elon Moreh’s municipal boundaries set up a small pool, connected to the water line leading to the village. The pool did not disrupt the flow of water to the village until somebody began cutting the pipe flowing toward the village.
A resident of the town recently photographed leftists as they damaged a water pipe leading to a nearby Arab village. Elon Moreh residents argue that the leftists were hoping to lead the Arabs to think that their Jewish neighbors were destroying their water supply.
After destroying the pipe, residents said, the leftists reported the incident to the Yediot Acharonot newspaper, which published an article accusing the Jews of Elon Moreh of harassing local Arabs and stealing their water.
“They were more than happy to publish a half-page story on how we abuse our neighbors, without an ounce of research,” Katzover said. He added that the leftists were led by Kibbutz Movement Chairman Yoel Marshak, infamous for his involvement in claims that Arab olive trees were destroyed by Jews, when in fact they had been pruned by their owners and left-wing activists.
Islamo-fascism is real
According to “David”, a libtard who just commented recently, this photo is not real and is just a reenactment from a film depicting – as “David” calls it – “vague” fascism in Islam.
Excuse me “David”, but these photos are very real. Every single one of them. Every single photo is a brutal depiction of Islamo-fascism.
Defenseless enemies are fun
Folks, you know that photo of that smirking, arrogant cocky Muslim who holds a protest sign that says “May allah make a mushroom cloud over Israel” to represent how peaceful his fake religion is?
The following article is for him.
Keep smiling, punk. The next mushroom cloud you beg for, could very well be over Mecca and Damascus. So be careful what you wish for, cur.
Folks, I encourage you to read the following excellent article from Dr. Jack Wheeler, Silence in Syria, Panic in Iran, which can be read in full only if you register:
Wednesday, 19 September 2007One of India’s top ranking generals assigned to liaise with the Iranian military recently returned to New Delhi from several days in Tehran – in a state of complete amazement.
“Everyone in the government and military can only talk of one thing,” he reports. “No matter who I talked to, all they could do was ask me, over and over again, ‘Do you think the Americans will attack us?’ ‘When will the Americans attack us?’ ‘Will the Americans attack us in a joint operation with the Israelis?’ How massive will the attack be?’ on and on, endlessly. The Iranians are in a state of total panic.”
And that was before September 6. Since then, it’s panic-squared in Tehran. The mullahs are freaking out in fear. Why? Because of the silence in Syria.
On September 6, Israeli Air Force F-15 and F-16s conducted a devastating attack on targets deep inside Syria near the c ity of Dayr az-Zawr. Israel’s military censors have muzzled the Israeli media, enforcing an extraordinary silence about the identity of the targets. Massive speculation in the world press has followed, such as Brett Stephens’ Osirak II in yesterday’s (9/18) Wall St. Journal.
Stephens and most everyone else have missed the real story. It is not Israel’s silence that “speaks volumes” as he claims, but Syria’s. Why would the Syrian government be so tight-lipped about an act of war perpetrated on their soil?
The first half of the answer lies in this story that appeared in the Israeli media last month (8/13): Syria’s Antiaircraft System Most Advanced In World. Syria has gone on a profligate buying spree spending vast sums on Russian systems, “considered the cutting edge in aircraft interception technology.”
Syria now “possesses the most crowded antiaircraft system in the world,” with “more than 200 antiaircraft batteries of different types,” some of which are so new that they have been installed in Syria “before being introduced into Russian operation service.”
While you’re digesting that, take a look at the map of Syria:
Notice how far away Dayr az-Zawr is from Israel. An F15/16 attack there is not a tiptoe across the border, but a deep, deep penetration of Syrian airspace. And guess what happened with the Russian super-hyper-sophisticated cuttin <> g edge antiaircraft missile batteries when that penetration took place on September 6th.Nothing.
El blanko. Silence. The systems didn’t even light up, gave no indication whatever of any detection of enemy aircraft invading Syrian airspace, zip, zero, nada. The Israelis (with a little techie assistance from us) blinded the Russkie antiaircraft systems so completely the Syrians didn’t even know they were blinded.
Now you see why the Syrians have been scared speechless. They thought they were protected – at enormous expense – only to discover they are defenseless. As in naked.
Thus the Great Iranian Freak-Out – for this means Iran is just as nakedly defenseless as Syria. I can tell you that there are a lot of folks in the Kirya (IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv) and the Pentagon right now who are really enjoying the mullahs’ predicament. Let’s face it: scaring the terror masters in Tehran out of their wits is fun.
It’s so much fun, in fact, that an attack destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities and the Revolutionary Guard command/control centers has been delayed, so t hat France (under new management) can get in on the fun too.
On Sunday (9/16), Sarkozy’s foreign minister Bernard Kouchner announced that “France should prepare for the possibility of war over Iran’s nuclear program.”
All of this has caused Tehran to respond with maniacal threats. On Monday (9/17), a government website proclaimed that “600 Shihab-3 missiles” will be fired at targets in Israel in response to an attack upon Iran by the US/Israel. This was followed by Iranian deputy air force chief Gen. Mohammad Alavi announcing today (9/19) that “we will attack their (Israeli) territory with our fighter bombers as a response to any attack.”
A sure sign of panic is to make a threat that everyone knows is a bluff. So our and Tel Aviv’s response to Iranian bluster is a thank-you-for-sharing yawn and a laugh. Few things rattle the mullahs’cages more than a yawn and a laugh. Yet no matter how much fun this sport with the mullahs is, it is also deadly serious. The pressure build-up on Iran is getting enormous. Something is going to blow and soon. The hope is that the blow-up will be internal, that the regime will implode from within.
But make no mistake: an all-out full regime take-out air assault upon Iran is coming if that hope doesn’t materialize within the next 60 to 90 days. The Sept. 6 attack on Syria was the shot across Iran’s bow.
So – what was attacked near Dayr az-Zawr? It’s possible it was North Korean “nuclear material” recently shipped to Syria, i.e., stuff to make radioactively “dirty” warheads, but nothing to make a real nuke with as the Norks don’t have real nukes (see Why North Korea’s Nuke Test Is Such Good News, October 2006).
Another possibility is it was to take out a stockpile of long-range Zilzal surface-to-surface missiles recently shipped from Iran for an attack on Israel.
A third is it was a hit on the stockpile of Saddam’s chemical/bio weapons snuck out of Iraq and into Syria for safekeeping before the US invasion of April 2003.
But the identity of the target is not the story – for the primary point of the attack was not to destroy that target. It was to shut down Syria’s Russian air defense system during the attack. Doing so made the attack an incredible success.
Syria is shamed and silent. Iran is freaking out in panic. Defenseless enemies are fun.
The muzbots are desperate for attention
Just when you thought the muzbots and their supporters couldn’t go any lower, they have now released a series of mock-up Hollywood film posters – with a chilling message for US troops in Iraq – on the web.
Check out their latest tactic: putting posters on the internet in a bid to affect US morale.
Oh, we’re so scared.
Not. I mean, how much longer is this crap going to go on? Do they think the longer they keep it up the more scared we’re going to be? What’s to be afraid of? Sure they’re violent drooling idiots but big deal, they aren’t bullet proof.
"Peace Now" Protests For a Jew-Free Hebron
It is outrageous in the extreme that the world would accept a scheme that would permit Arabs to have an ethnically cleansed continent where no Jews can live, but that’s exactly what the misanthropes at Peace Now endeavor for. They want all of Hebron Jew-free. What they don’t realize is that Hebron was already Jewish when Europe was still a swamp. Just as Germans can live in France and French in Germany, Jews should be able to remain in Hebron and Gaza as Arabs remain in Jaffa and their Galilee villages.
It’s hardly irrational that Jews should want to live in Hebron or in Jerusalem or near the Wailing Wall or other sites of great importance in Jewish history and religion, particularly given how poorly Muslims have treated such sites.
Peace Now, a left-wing group founded to bring about Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon, but expanded to work toward a withdrawal from all areas won by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War held a protest in Hevron earlier this month. The protest, in the heart of the tiny Jewish quarter of the city, featured large signs demanding the Jews be barred from living in the city of the Patriarchs.
The local community, by and large, chose to ignore the protest, saying the group’s aim was to draw them into confrontations it could then use to justify Peace Now’s provocations – but several activist groups from outside Hevron came to counter Peace Now’s message.
Women in Green, Tzafrir Ronen’s Nahalal Forum and Kumah all turned up with signs and activists to say that Jewish life in Hevron is a positive thing, which should be expanded and allowed to flourish. Peace Now protestors led chants like “We don’t want to die in vain, make peace now!” and “Hevron settlers – a bone in the throat.”
Women in Green’s Nadia Matar pointed out that Peace Now is heavily funded by the same European Union that is soft on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Kim M., a student at a Christian university in Pennsylvania, observed the Peace Now protest from the side. “I’ve only been in Palestine for a few days,” she said. “And I’m still trying to figure everything out.” Kim wore a CPT (Christian Peacemaker Teams) hat; she was part of a tour organized by the radical Christian group. Other CPT members stood aside and opined that the Jewish Peace Now protestors still insist on occupying pre-1967 Israel as well, “stolen from the Palestinians in 1948.”
Being Christian doesn’t authorize you to determine for me and my people where we live and where our borders are, CPT. Those days are over. If you’re going to be realistic, then arrange to reinstate Jewish citizenship in Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Lybia, Tunisia, Algeria, & Morocco. Invite the Jews back to all those countries, and restore their rightful property. Be true to your words and lead the way, Christian.

In a just world, the New York Times would have to pay
A smiling photo of a palestinian muslim murderer, in an Israeli jail, featured in an HBO film, praised by the New York Times. From Boker Tov, Boulder:
Ahlam Tamimi in a scene from the documentary “Hot House.” Ms. Tamimi is among about 10,000 Palestinians being held in Israeli jails.
Page E9 of The Arts Section of the New York Times, Wednesday June 27, 2007:An Odd Understanding Reached in Israeli Prisons by Television Review / “Hot House” by Neil GenzlingerThe parents of Malki Chana Roth write:Dear friends,Today’s New York Times carries a review of a film called “Hot House” that goes inside Israeli prisons and examines the lives of Palestinian prisoners. We’re not recommending the film or the review. But we do want to share our feelings with you about the beaming female face that adorns the article….The film is produced by HBO. So it’s presumably HBO’s publicity department that was responsible for creating and distributing a glamor-style photograph of a smiling, contented-looking young woman in her twenties to promote the movie.That female is our child’s murderer. She was sentenced to sixteen life sentences or 320 years which she is serving in an Israeli jail.Fifteen people were killed and more than a hundred maimed and injured by the actions of this attractive person and her associates.…. Neither the New York Times nor HBO are likely to give even a moment’s attention to the victims of the barbarians who destroyed the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem and the lives of so many victims. So we would be grateful if you would pass along this link to some pictures of our daughter whose name was Malki. She was unable to reach her twenties – Hamas saw to that.Though she was only fifteen years old when her life was stolen from her and from us, we think Malki was a beautiful young woman, living a beautiful life. We ask your help so that other people – far fewer than the number who will see the New York Times, of course – can know about her. Please ask your friends to look at the pictures – some of the very few we have – of our murdered daughter. They are at http://www.kerenmalki.org/photo.htmAnd remind them of what the woman in the Israeli prison – the woman smiling so happily in the New York Times – said last year.“I’m not sorry for what I did. We’ll become free from the occupation and then I will be free from prison.”With so many voices demanding that Israel release its terrorist prisoners, small wonder she’s smiling.With greetings from Jerusalem,Frimet and Arnold Roth, on behalf of Keren Malki
Newton Papers Reveal Apocalypse Calculation
Three-century-old manuscripts by Isaac Newton calculating the exact date of the apocalypse, detailing the precise dimensions of the ancient temple in Jerusalem and interpreting passages of the Bible – exhibited this week for the first time – lay bare the little-known religious intensity of a man many consider history’s greatest scientist. Manuscripts written by scientist Isaac Newton include his interpretations of Bible passages and his conclusion that the world will not end before 2060. Newton, who died 280 years ago, is known for laying much of the groundwork for modern physics, astronomy, math and optics. But in a new Jerusalem exhibit, he appears as a scholar of deep faith who also found time to write on Jewish law – even penning a few phrases in careful Hebrew letters – and combing the Old Testament’s Book of Daniel for clues about the world’s end.

Three paratroopers
One of my most favorite photos revisited 40 years later. Via In Context:
JERUSALEM: It’s an image etched in history — an iconic photo that captured Israel in its most triumphant moment.
Three young, battle-worn faces gazing up in wonder at the Western Wall, moments after capturing Judaism’s holiest site on June 7, 1967.
The three paratroopers — Zion Karasanti, Yitzhak Yifat and Haim Oshri — became famous as symbols of that victory before drifting back into anonymity. Forty years later, they recalled the instant that changed their lives and the life of their country.
“It was an uplifting moment, a real spiritual experience,” said Karasanti, 64. “My heart was beating, there were soldiers crying, just staring at the stones …. the wall was so pure and divine, it gives me goosebumps every time.”
The three men were recently reunited at the wall for a photo shoot, recreating their pose of 40 years ago.
The Western Wall, a remnant of the second biblical Jewish Temple, is the holiest site where Jews can pray. It lines the Al Aqsa Mosqe compound, home to Islam’s third holiest shrine. The holy sites in Jerusalem’s walled Old City were under Jordanian control and off-limits to Jews for 19 years.
On the third day of the 1967 Six-Day War, the three young reservists were frozen in photographer David Rubinger’s frame, after fighting in a series of bloody battles and making their way into the Old City.
