BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

by Seth J. Frantzman Jewish self hate is one of the most fascinating of phenomena. While many nations now produce intellectuals who have self-hate the Jews seem especially adept at it. It is worth examining a few cases to understand that self-hate is primarily based on illogical concepts. Recently the German government gave one of its highest civilian awards, the Federal Cross of Merit, to Felicia Langer, a supporter of the Palestinians who calls Israel the "apartheid of the present" and a defender of Iranian president Mahmud Ahmadinjad. She noted that the Holocaust denying Iranian president "is right" when "speaking about the suffering of the Palestinians". He had left Israel in 1990 "because for the Palestinians, unfortunately we cannot obtain Justice." She speaks often of how the Holocaust has harmed her family and when in Israel spoke of being part of the "other Israel" and noted "I'm for justice and against all those for ...

(If you are on an aggregator CLICK HERE to view the above video ) At about 2:21 - Rock NAILS IT! ~~~~~~~~~~~ Obama to Jews: I'm Just Not That Into You By Stuart Schwartz American Jews and Israel would do well to take a page from the book of Saul Alinsky, who provides the radical underpinning for much of how the Obama left sees the world: "As an organizer I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be." It is time for American Jews to leave the Democratic Party, to see reality as it is and not how they wish it to be. To be a Jew in this world is dangerous ...and our president and his party are deliberately making it more so (even serial Obama apologist Susan Estrich is "not completely certain...where this president will stand in a crisis" involving Jews). A leading reform rabbi (for whose community Obama "represents the golden harvest," as a senior executive of the Union for Reform Judaism put it) has just issued a clarion call ...

By Timothy Collins Not surprisingly Benjamin Netanyahu's heavily qualified endorsement of the two-state solution prompted scorn and ridicule from Palestinian and Arab quarters. In Israel, many considered the prime minister's offer of a future Palestinian state a generous one. But to characterise Netanyahu's endorsement of Palestinian statehood in his address last Sunday at Bar-Ilan University as either farcical or magnanimous is to miss the historic significance of the moment. Granted, Netanyahu vetoed both a Palestinian military and Palestinian sovereignty over its airspace, staked Israel's claim to an 'undivided'Jerusalem as its capital, and demanded that Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state. But seen in the context of Likud's ideological evolution over the past several decades - and notwithstanding Netanyahu's unwarranted reiteration of his belief that the West Bank and Gaza are part the Jewish peoples ancestral homeland - the PM's de f...

by Aaron Klein Netanyahu clashes with White House on West Bank construction The Obama administration wants to abrogate a secret deal that President Bush made to allow Israel to construct homes in previously existing West Bank Jewish communities, WND has learned. "The matter is ongoing and is subject to current talks with the U.S. administration," said a source in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office. The source was referring to a 2005 deal Bush made with then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon that Israel can continue "natural growth" of West Bank settlements, meaning adding housing to current communities in that territory to account for growth in population. The deal was forged just prior to Israel's 2005 retreat from the Gaza Strip. It was confirmed by Sharon aide Dov Weissglas in 2005, and again last week in statements to the Washington Post by Elliott Abrams, a former deputy national security adviser to Bush who reportedly negotiated the arrangement. The ...

Obama insists Palestinians must have state, rejects Iran deadline Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu emerged from his first meeting with US President Barack Obama Monday confident that Israel has the right to defend itself from the threat of a nuclear Iran. Following four hours of talks with Obama, Netanyahu told Israeli reporters gathered across from the White House that there are no green, red or yellow lights from the US but rather a shared sense that Iran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapons capacity. Speaking side by side at the Oval Office earlier in the day, Obama stressed the importance the US places on Israeli security and its recognition of how the Jewish state perceives the threat from Teheran, even as he defended his policy of engagement. Obama rejected the notion of "artificial timelines" in negotiations with Iran, which he indicated he expected would begin in earnest after the Iranian election on June 12 and could subsequently expand to include direct...

I'm going to back up my friend Chaim over at Freedom's Cost , who's taking some flack for posting about a truth-telling video the jihadists are trying to get pulled off of YouTube... about Palestine. In my book -- Truth is TRUTH. I always tell the truth and always have facts to back me up. I have never accused anyone of anything without backup. Ever. And I am getting damn sick, too - of people telling me how "horrible" Israel is. I know what it's like to be accused of being abusive - usually by the SAME PERSON OR ENTITY THAT'S ABUSING YOU. It's projection and a classic terrorist move. The truth is a static thing... if only people would bother to check! This is what the anti-semitic Arabs has been feeding people for years - and far too many do no research or look any farther than the rhetoric. Stupid is as stupid does. from Tehillah Hessler : Check world history prior to its re-writing by Arabs in the 20th and 21st Centuries and you'll disco...

If this isn't PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE BLAME SHIFTING then I don't know what is. I'm no Gingrich fan but in this case he is SPOT ON! Gag me! Thwarting Iran hinges on Israeli-Palestinian talks Thwarting Iran's nuclear program is conditional on progress in peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, according to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Israeli TV reports said Monday that Emanuel made the comments in a closed-door meeting the previous day with 300 major AIPAC donors. Last month, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned Israel that it risks losing Arab support for combating threats from Iran if it rejects peace negotiations with the Palestinians. Clinton said Arab nations had conditioned helping Israel counter Iran on Jerusalem's commitment to the peace process. Meanwhile, in an interview with the Jerusalem Post Sunday, former US House speaker Newt Gingrich blasted the Obama administration for setting itself on a collision course with Israel a...

My handful of readers are, I'm sure, tired of me comparing terrorists to abusers. For everyone else - I have to put these articles out there. One after the other. Yes, I do see abuse around every corner. Especially when it comes to these animals. You'll get it. Honest, you will. Now if people like Obama & Biden would just answer the clue phone. TWO LOOKS AT THE CRITERIA FOR THOUGHT REFORM Dr. Robert J. Lifton's 8 Criteria for Thought Reform 1. Environmental Control - The purposeful limitation of all forms of communication with the outside world. 2. Mystical Manipulation - Extensive personal manipulation is used to provoke specific patterns of behavior and emotion in such a way that they will appear to have arisen spontaneously. 3. The Demand for Purity - The world is sharply divided between pure and impure with the group in the role of ultimate judge. Normal urges and tendencies become sins, and shame is used to control. 4. Confession - Carried beyo...

This makes absolute sense. But of course, we won't have to wait long before some appeaser finds fault with this totally logical approach. If anyone who backs the PA would take a LOGICAL, clear look at Bibi's proposal - they'd see that it also shows these animals for the whining, terrorist antagonizers they are. WAY TO CALL IT, BIBI!! Israel's new PM says he will discuss a Palestinian state only if Palestinians recognise Israel as a Jewish state. Benjamin Netanyahu was speaking to US President Barack Obama's envoy to the Middle East about prospects for peace. Mr Netanyahu, of the right-wing Likud party, has not previously endorsed the creation of a Palestinian state. The envoy, George Mitchell, reiterated US support for a Palestinian state alongside Israel, in talks with the Israeli president and foreign minister. But Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said the diplomatic process was at a "dead end" and a new approach was needed. A senior official in Mr Net...

by David Warren In Toronto, on Thursday, I witnessed a little incident of some value to the interpretation of world affairs. It happened on a crowded westbound King Street trolley, trapped at Yonge Street by the early rush hour crowds. (Ottawans may envy any kind of functioning transit service.) Three young men, whom one might characterize as voluntary members of the underclass from the way they were dressed (expensive ghetto gear), jumped the back door of the trolley, in order to avoid paying fares. It is the sort of thing people just get used to in a decaying society. The drivers have their hands full processing paying customers through the front entrance, and can hardly be expected to guard the rear. But in this case, the driver more than noticed what was happening, apparently through his rear-view mirror. He shut the front doors, stalled the car, and elbowed his way through the standing passengers to confront his unpaid guests. "I've got bad news for you punks," he de...

This was such great stuff I am reposting it here: from OyVaGoy!: by Chas Newkey-Burden This is an interesting video from 1978 of a 28-year-old Benjamin Netanyahu (then known as Benjamin Nitay because Netanyahu sounded too much like a native American name for U.S. circles) speaking during a televised debate in America. His words are prescient. He says that a Palestinian state would become a terrorist state that threatened Israel. Fast forward to the 21st century. Israel withdraws from Gaza, Hamas takeover and bombard southern Israel with rockets. As he says of the Palestinian aims: “What were are talking about here is not the attempt to build a state, but to destroy one.” (Looking good, Bibi!)

Oh Puhllleeeezze! Does anyone believe these murdering animals? "WITH RESERVATIONS" - golly, wonder what those might be? How about: when we bomb Israel they can't defend themselves or fight back all Jews need to die Israel needs to be wiped off the planet Everyone must convert to Islam and Sharia law must rule There is NO TALKING to these people. Unfortunately the Moderate Palestinians are not the ones in charge. Hamas is. And this is what we got. Now people are angry Israel is defending itself? Sounds a lot like this to me: CLICK HERE. Hamas: We accept Egypt's proposal for Gaza truce - with reservations By Avi Issacharoff and Natasha Mozgovaya, Haaretz Correspondents and Reuters Hamas representatives held a press conference in Cairo Monday evening following talks with Egyptian officials, and announced that they have accepted in principle an Egyptian proposal for a cease-fire agreement to end the fighting between the Islamist group and Israel in the Gaza Strip, sa...

(I am not, nor have I ever been a Bolton fan. I find him to be a reactionary war-hawk. But, I am smart enough to know when someone speaks truth and open minded enough to agree with someone's ideas; even when I don't like the speaker. - Barbara) By John R. Bolton War in the Gaza Strip demonstrates yet again that the current governance paradigm for the Palestinian people has failed. Terrorists financed and supplied by Iran control Gaza; the Palestinian Authority is broken, probably irretrievably; and economic development is stalled in Gaza and the West Bank. Palestinians are suffering the consequences of regional power struggles played out through them as surrogates. Israel isn't a happy place, either. It endures opprobrium from the world's High-Minded for defending itself from terrorism yet still finds itself subjected to terrorist attacks from Hamas and terrorists based in Syria and Lebanon. Israel's domestic politics are increasingly muddled, and its way forward ...
