BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

By REBECCA HARSHBARGER in NY and S.A. MILLER in DC   Rep. Pete King says President Obama's weak Mideast policy is forcing House Democrats to make the difficult choice of either supporting Obama or supporting Israel. "I hope they put our relationship with Israel above their relationship with Obama," King (R-LI) said yesterday. Flanked by Jewish community leaders at a press conference across from the United Nations, King rallied support for his legislation calling for the US to quit the UN Human Rights Council and its probe of the Israeli raid May 31 on a flotilla off Gaza. Not a single House Democrat, including the entire New York City delegation, would sign on to that resolution introduced by King last week. But King found Dems and Jewish leaders back in the city who also don't trust the UN council, which regularly bashes Israel. He was joined at the press conference by Democratic Assemblymen David Weprin and Rory Lancman, Rabbi Joseph Potasnik and Jew...

The U.N. (currently one of the most useless organizations on the planet) once again welcomes Iranian terrorist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to NYC. My city. Once again, I hope hotels turn him down and that NYPD's Finest ticket every diplomatic automobile that clogs our streets - particularly ones that are sympathetic to this lowlife piece of ****. Why's he coming - well there's a month-long periodic review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Yup, Mahmoud wants the bomb. And his buddies the Egyptians plan to raise demands for Israel's nuclear disarmament. Blaming the victim again. But, Mahmoud should have them... that's right - let's put global annihilation in the hands of a madman! Good thinking U.N.!!! (feh...) Go home Mahmoud. You're not welcome here. And the U.N.? Well I think of a thousand different uses for that piece of real estate. It will save me flipping the place off every time I drive, stroll or am driven by. I'm tired... there are so ma...

In the wake of Bibi's strong speech - it's impossible not to compare O-lame-A's speech and weak rhetoric to it. And yet this guy's POTUS! We went from a sociopathic moron to this inexperienced narcissist. Let us pray. Well, if this isn’t an analogy for an empty-suit presidency, nothing will suffice. It’s too good to be true and so almost certainly isn’t, but as this rapid-fire look at 130 photographs from the UN this week shows, it’s hard not to draw the conclusion that the POTUS has a COTUS. Watch the frozen image of Barack Obama’s face on your first pass, and then check the position of his hands on your second pass: Barack Obama's amazingly consistent smile from Eric Spiegelman on Vimeo . The grin is almost Chesire Cat-like, staying in a fixed position in every shot while the angle of the camera moves. The hands stay in exact position in relation to the body. The angle of the head doesn’t change over 130 frames, either. Either that’s a cardboard cutout, or like...

By Barak Ravid, Anshel Pfeffer, Jack Khoury and Avi Issacharoff Israel began fighting the diplomatic battle Tuesday to prevent the Goldstone Commission report on Israel's Cast Lead Operation in the Gaza Strip from being brought before the United Nations Security Council and from there to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where charges could be brought against Israeli officials involved in the military campaign. The report, compiled by a commission headed by former war crimes prosecutor Richard Goldstone, accuses both Israel and the Palestinians of actions amounting to war crimes during the December 27 to January 18 battle in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. Tuesday night a team lead by Foreign Ministry legal advisor Ehud Keinan, and which included representatives from the Justice Ministry and the military prosecutor's office, delivered a preliminary analysis of the Goldstone Commission report to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avidgor Lieberman. N...

UN chief says may charge Israel $11 million for damage done to its facilities during Gaza war, adds that it is 'critical' Israel freeze settlement activity. EU's Solana says he expects Netanyahu to endorse two-state solution. by Yitzhak Benhorin UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Thursday it was "critical" that Israel halt all settlement activity. He added that he was considering fining the state $11 million for damage it did to UN facilities during the Gaza war. Ban says the fine was recommended by a committee elected to investigate damage done by the IDF to UN structures during Operation Cast Lead. Regarding the settlements he said, "The UN position is well known. It is critical that Israel freeze settlement expansion and dismantle outposts as the Quartet, and more recently US President (Barack) Obama, have asked," he told a press conference in New York. The secretary-general said the Middle East Quartet had scheduled a meeting in Italy ahead of an ...

And they go crying to their enablers - the meaningless, anti-Israel U.N. Projection. Pure & simple. Spare us all!! Iran complains to UN about Israeli 'threats' Iran on Tuesday urged the United Nations to respond firmly to what it described as Israel's "unlawful and insolent threats" to launch an attack on Tehran's nuclear installations. Israeli officials, including President Shimon Peres, recently have suggested that Israel could use military force to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons, as the West suspects it is doing. Iran, the world's fourth largest oil producer, insists it is only interested in building reactors that peacefully generate electricity. The Islamic Republic's UN ambassador, in a letter to Mexican UN Ambassador Claude Heller, said Israel was violating the UN charter and urged the international body to respond clearly and resolutely. Mexico holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council. "These out...

Double Standard Watch: Bishop Tutu, the UN and 'Alice in Wonderland' Justice On March 16, 2009, a group of 16 self-described experts on "international justice and reconciliation of conflict" - including Bishop Desmond Tutu, who has characterized Israeli self-defense actions as " unchristian " - called for the establishment of "a United Nations Commission" to conduct an "independent and impartial investigation" of war crime allegations stemming from the Gaza conflict. There is of course no need to conduct any investigation into whether Hamas has committed war crimes: they readily admit - indeed they boast - that they are trying to kill as many Jewish Israeli citizens as their anti-personnel rockets are capable of killing. They also acknowledge, as a Hamas legislator did on television, that they use women and children as "human shields." The only real target of this investigation is Israel, which, according to British military exp...

The Jewish State of Bureaucracy By BEZALEL STERN SHUT UP, I'M TALKING And Other Diplomacy Lessons I Learned in the Israeli Government By Gregory Levey Shut Up, I’m Talking , Gregory Levey’s often hilarious, generally fast paced, and ultimately troubling new memoir, starts out with Levey as a second-year law student at Fordham Law School and ends, a (very) few years later, with Levey in Israel, writing speeches for Ariel Sharon. Levey’s rapid rise, as he'd be the first to point out, had less to do with his personal expertise and the quality of his writing (although his writing is generally strong) than with the utter inanity of the ridiculous bureaucracy that is the Israeli government. Levey's stumble into the world of Israeli politics begins when he applies for an internship at Israel’s U.N. mission in New York. After numerous calls to the mission, Levey is invited to the Israeli consular building for an interview with a number of senior members of the mission. Once there, ...

GAZA LOCKDOWN Gaza's locked down and the poor poor Palestinians are angry calling for a "massive response." How typical of ABUSIVE PERSONALITIES! They provoke & provoke covertly and overtly (Qassams falls into the OVERT category). The abused (Israel) finally says "that's enough" and now Hamas is angry... at Israel... for DEFENDING ITSELF. The minute the VICTIM stands up and says "ENOUGH!" its a rush to pile on them and villfy them for doing so. Hello, IDF? Kick butt. Barak orders lockdown of Gaza, Hamas vows revenge Over 130 rockets hit southern Israel in last 72 hours while Israeli strikes against terror cells in Gaza leave at least 25 Palestinians killed. Defense minister vows IDF will bring end to incessant barrages, orders complete closure of coastal territory. More than 40 Qassam rockets landed in and around the town of Sderot and its neighboring communities in the western Negev on Tuesday, wounding three people. Defense Minister Ehud B...

WHOOPEE!! NOW WHEN ARE YOU LEAVING? Isn't U.N. translated from Islamofascist as "bend over? " "We will be judged in the future on the actions we take today -- on results. On this United Nations Day, let us rededicate ourselves to achieving them." Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General Pardon my Pukin' - Talk about something that has really outgrown its usefulness and turned into a hateful bastion of anti-semitic, pro-terror BULLPOCKY!!! Oh, did I mention its U.N. Day? I hope that explains my total lack of enthusiasm. I call on Donald Trump or Barbara Corcoran to take over that real estate and turn it into something that MAKES A REAL DIFFERENCE: A massive housing shelter for abused persons & children with medical, legal and mental health care on site? Or the world's biggest Starbucks? Someone please get the "diplomats" who drive like maniacs, leave the scene of accidents, park illegally, run people down and then leave the country, treat waiters ...

WELL DUH!! SO THE U.N. FAILED ISRAEL! I have always felt there should be a show called "The DUH News." Kind of like The Daily Show with more sarcasm and less blame. Stuff that is so blatantly obvious its amazing the MSM even said something. Like Fox news with a lot more TRUTH. This item would fit right in. FINALLY the U.N. admits its bias. Wonder what their first clue was? That the "balanced fashion" this was supposed to be dealt with was anything but! Hmmmm.... I am going to (don't faint) THANK President Chimpy for saying something. Yes. I will admit he did one thing correct this time. Or was told to do it. Either way - Thank you. Now, are we all holding our collective breath to see if they actually DO something about it? Wait, let me get the oxygen tanks!! Here goes: UN Rights Council 'failed' on Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Chairman The UN Human Rights Council has failed to handle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a balanced fashion, t...

MY OXFORD DICTIONARY IS IN FLAMES! I got my B.A. in English Literature. Yeah, I know - really useful. (It's ok - I picked up a B.F.A. and an M.F.A. and a paralegal degree - also really useful ;) so misuse of English is like nails on a blackboard to me. I know I probably mess up and misspell stuff on this blog but I tend to be a stickler for spelling & syntax on the most part. But this? This is just... WRONG! "Childrens do learn," Bush tells school kids Offering a grammar lesson guaranteed to make any English teacher cringe, President George W. Bush told a group of New York school kids on Wednesday: "Childrens do learn." Bush made his latest grammatical slip-up at a made-for-TV event where he urged Congress to reauthorize the No Child Left Behind Act, the centerpiece of his education policy, as he touted a new national report card on improved test scores. The event drew New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings plus teac...

AN OPEN-MINDED DICTATOR NOT! I always am so pleased when someone does something so blatantly obvious that shows you exactly WHO & WHAT THEY ARE. Ahmadin-ASS has done just that. Proved he's a lying sociopath with an abusive mentality. How did he do this? Just surf through some websites on Verbal Abuse and Domestic Violence. Look for things Abusers say to their victims. You can go to my other site and do this too. What to look for? These classic ABUSER comments when faced with the truth about their abuse: JUST GET OVER IT! MOVE ON! I DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THAT! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO QUESTION ME! I TOLD YOU ONCE NOW STOP ASKING! Thanks Ahmadin-ASS. You get a big black star for FANATICAL, PSYCHO PREDICTABILITY! Iran Leader Says Nuclear Issue Closed By EDITH M. LEDERER Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared Tuesday that Iran's disputed nuclear program is closed as a political issue and said Tehran will ignore a U.N. Security Council demand imposed by "arrogan...

ISRAEL - ALWAYS THE "BAD GUY" Murder in Gaza: Why Israel and not Fatah is demonized by Bruce Thornton In Gaza the fighting between Fatah and Hamas has escalated to the point of all-out civil war, replete with dead women and children, kneecapping, and handcuffed prisoners thrown from roofs. Meanwhile in Lebanon, the Lebanese army continues to shell a Palestinian refugee camp, with who knows how many civilian deaths. Arab is killing Arab, Muslim is killing Muslim, and the world basically is shrugging its shoulders. How different from the intense media attention and the U.N.’s hysteria over Israel’s attempt to root out terrorists in Lebanon last summer. This obscene double standard that strains out the gnat of Israeli self-defense while swallowing numerous camels of Muslim-on-Muslim violence cries out for explanation. Certainly the scale of alleged Israeli crimes can’t justify fifty years of international hatred and calumny. Since World War II, some 25 million people have died ...

WHAT ELSE SHOULD WE EXPECT FROM THE USELESS U.N.? (this speaks for itself) U.N. Team Still Looking for Iraq's Arsenal Though Work Is Seen as Irrelevant, Security Council Can't Agree to End It By Colum Lynch -- Washington Post Staff Writer More than four years after the fall of Baghdad, the United Nations is spending millions of dollars in Iraqi oil money to continue the hunt for Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons of mass destruction. Every weekday, at a secure commercial office building on Manhattan's East Side, a team of 20 U.N. experts on chemical and biological weapons pores over satellite images of former Iraqi weapons sites. They scour the international news media for stories on Hussein's deadly arsenal. They consult foreign intelligence agencies on the status of Iraqi weapons. And they maintain a cadre of about 300 weapons experts from 50 countries and prepare them for inspections in Iraq -- inspections they will almost certainly never conduct, in search of weap...
