While some quickly dismissed as an anomaly yesterday’s explosive revelation that Barack Obama’s former literary agency billed him as “born in Kenya” back in 1991 in connection with a book he never wrote, WND has discovered much later published references – some dated as recently as 2007 – used to promote his highly touted book “Dreams from My Father.”
As WND reported, Breitbart News originally found a brochure from two decades ago in which literary agency Acton & Dystel promoted Obama as the author of the never-produced “Journeys in Black and White” by declaring Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”Twelve years later, however, the Dystel of Acton & Dystel was busy promoting Obama’s new book, “Dreams from My Father,” and still touting the author as “born in Kenya.” (Read more…)
Yom Yerushalayim Day, the 45th Commemoration of the Reunification of Jerusalem
“The Temple Mount is in our Hands” – Yom Yerushalayim Day, the 45th Commemoration of the Reunification of Jerusalem
This evening in Israel begins the commemoration of Yom Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Day, the 28th of Iyar in the Hebrew Calendar. The occasion marks the 45th anniversary of the reunification of the ancient and eternal capital of the Jewish State of Israel. Nineteen years after Jordanian Legionnaires routed valiant defending forces, destroyed Jewish landmarks and expelled Jewish residents of the Old City; IDF forces retook the eastern half of Israel’s capitol on June 7th, 1967, after fierce fighting.

Prime Minister Petr Ne?as today held talks with his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu. Members of both countries’ governments then participated in a joint meeting.
“We have assured the Israeli delegation of our support for Israel. We support the development of relations between our two countries, as well as relations between the EU and the State of Israel, which we believe are highly beneficial to both parties,” remarked Prime Minister Petr Ne?as after the meeting.
“We categorically reject the de-legitimization and any boycott of Israel. We unequivocally support Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorist attacks. Together we share the global concern about Iran’s nuclear programme,” said the Czech prime minister. (Read more…)
Ted Belman. Forget about deligitimation and deamonization, floatillas and flytillas, charges of racism, genocide, war crimes and being apartheid, terrorism and rockets, threats of annihilation. They are all just a distraction.
The only battle that matters is the battle for the land in which we and the Arabs are putting facts on the ground. Unfortunately they are winning. Due in part to the massive financial, diplomatic and moral support they are receiving from the U.S., the countries of Europe and from our own government. For the Right to turn this around it must win the hearts and minds of the Israeli centre. Israel must bite the bullet and take charge. This means abrogating Oslo and extending Israel sovereignty.
The Tower and Stockade Plan of Salam Fayyad to control Area C
From The “Justice” Supplement Of Makor Rishon by Gil Bringer (14 March 2012 )
Whilst Israel talks about renewing negotiations, the Palestinian Authority discusses creating a fait accompli in the territories. The purpose, which has been openly declared for some time, talks about taking control of Area C and the creation of territorial contiguity. The method: establishment and development of Bedouin settlements through financial and legal aid to the residents, who thus identify with the idea of a Palestinian state. The state attorney’s office turns a blind eye to this, and the civil administration ignores it and essentially conducts two policies – one for Jews and one for Arabs. As the Palestinians say: “Jerusalem is the gate to the heavens and the Jordan Valley is the gate to Palestine.” . (Read more…)
Strangely, when making the argument, he doesn’t factor in Israel’s huge off shore gas reserves which are expected to be onlne next year and her huge oil shale deposits which are expected to be producing oil within the said 10 year period.
Chief Justice Beinisch’s Ultimate Assault against Israeli Democracy and Rule of Law
By steven plaut
Dorit Beinisch was the Chief Justice of Israel’s Supreme Court until retiring recently. While already retired, she is still writing verdicts for some cases that began while she was on the bench.
Beinisch was the worst Israeli practitioner of the anti-democratic doctrine of “judicial activism,” which holds that court judges can just make up laws and “right” as they go along and that unelected judges should have the right to veto and dictate laws against the will of the elected representatives of the people. In other words, judicial activism is judicial tyranny.
Yesterday Beinisch and two other judges issued what is without a doubt one of the very WORST court rulings in Israeli history, and for that matter one of the worst in the history of the democratic world. (Read more…)
This goes back 2 generations, 3 if you are over 50. It also explains why many Jewish men died in their early 60′s with a non-functional cardiovascular system and looked like today’s men at 89.
Before we start, there are some variations in ingredients because of the various types of Jewish taste (Polack, Litvack, Dutch and Gallicianer).
Just as we Jews have six seasons of the year (winter, spring, summer, autumn, the slack season, and the busy season), we all focus on a main ingredient which, unfortunately and undeservedly, has disappeared from our diet. I’m talking, of course, about SCHMALTZ (chicken fat). SCHMALTZ has, for centuries, been the prime ingred ient in almost every Jewish dish, and I feel it’s time to revive it to its rightful place in our homes. (I have plans to distribute it in a green glass Gucci bottle with a label clearly saying: “low fat, no cholesterol, Newman’s Choice, extra virgin SCHMALTZ.” (It can’t miss!) Then there are grebenes – pieces of chicken skin, deep fried in SCHMALTZ, onions and salt until crispy brown (Jewish bacon). This makes a great appetizer for the next cardiologist’s convention.

The denial of the Nakba is as much a crime as the Nakba itself. Israel has a duty to recognize the Nakba….

Two weeks ago, US Congressman Joe Walsh published an op-ed in the The Washington Times in which he called for the US and Israel to abandon the two-state solution.
After running through the record of Palestinian duplicity, failed governance, terrorism and bad faith, he called for Israel to apply its sovereignty to Judea and Samaria. In his words, Israel should “adopt the only solution that will bring true peace to the Middle East: a single Israeli state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. Israel is the only country in the region dedicated to peace and the only power capable of stable, just and democratic government in the region.” (Read more…)
DFM Danny Ayalon in response to the President of the International Olympic Committee Jacques Rogge who refused to remember on the 40th annuiversary of the Massacre of ther Jewish Olympic Team
“Unfortunately, this response is unacceptable as it rejects the central principles of global fraternity on which the Olympic ideal is supposed to rest”
Today (Thursday , May 17, 2012), Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon
responded to the letter he received from International Olympic Committee President, Jacques Rogge rejecting his request to hold a minute silence in memory of the members of the Israeli Olympic team murdered at the Munich Olympics in 1972 during the upcoming London Olympic Games. (Read more…)
Attorney Nitzana Darshan-Leitner is a legal trailblazer in Israel: Over the last nine years, she and her human rights organization have filed hundreds of lawsuits against terror groups and governments that support terror and have been awarded more than $1 billion. This week, she won a lawsuit against Syria and Iran.
The late Leon Klinghoffer, an American Jew, was wheelchair bound. In 1985, he took a cruise on the Italian ship Achille Lauro, which was hijacked by the Palestine Liberation Front near Egypt. The terrorists threw Klinghoffer overboard, while he was alive, and let him drown. The incident shocked the world, including a 10-year-old girl named Nitzana. Back then, she didn’t fathom that the first time she would appear before Israel’s Supreme Court, it would be on Klinghoffer’s behalf. (Read more…)
A TEN PART COURSE Be sure to watch this introduction. It is a wonderful overview of the threat. Then read Part 8.
PART 8: TEAM OBAMA & THE ISLAMISTS
The Obama administration has greatly exacerbated the penetration of the U.S. government achieved during the George W. Bush administration. This part of the course will concentrate on illustrative examples of Muslim Brotherhood-associated individuals who have been allowed access to – and, in some cases, given positions In the Obama administration. This part is a case study of Rashad Hussain, Huma Abedin, Daliah Mogahed, Kifa Mustapha, Momamed Elibiary, and Mohamed Magid. As we will see, taken together, such people and policy initiatives have advanced considerably the Muslim Brotherhood’s civilization jihad against the United States, here at home and overseas.

I have just received reliable information from a certain insider that a meeting was held two weeks ago in Turkey attended by the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar and CIA. Allegedly, Israel’s Mosad sat in as an observer. The attendees discussed what they want to happen in Jordan when the King falls.
The MB was asked specifically whether it would uphold the peace treaty with Israel if it came to power and they said yes. Furthermore the MB offered to take in many Palestinians from Judea and Samaria.
It struck me that this is exactly what Mudar Zahran is intending to do should he come to power. The MB is obviously following his playbook.
From a different source I heard that Obama is putting financial pressure on Abdullah so that he will fall. Obama wants to replace him with the MB.
Mudar Zahran says he cannot see how the Muslim Brotherhood will come to power in Jordan. They are are mostly East Bank Jordanians and are hated by the Palestinians. The Palestinians will never vote for the MB. Zahran said he could not comment nor confirm that such a meeting took place, nonetheless, he said if it turns out to be true, then Obama is betting on losing horse.
Laura: British society has become completely unhinged. Are they so convinced that America is beholden to the Jewish lobby because the British government itself is beholden to a nefarious Arab-muslim lobby? The BBC cannot conceive of the idea that Americans support Israel out of deeply held convictions. I find it amusing that the BNP is marginalized partly because of its antisemitism. Yet the BNP is far less antisemitic than the BBC, the Guardian, the Labor party, the Tories, the British foreign office, academia etc. No matter, England is a dying nation with no future.
On and on it goes, this deranged vendetta against Israel and the Jews that we are not allowed to call by its proper name, on and on with obsessional intensity into ever-more alarming and astonishing bigotry and violence that is even now passing virtually without comment in wider British society.
Last night Richard Millett, an Israel supporter who tirelessly records and thus brings to light the venomous anti-Israel bigotry coursing through campuses and elsewhere, was assaulted and racially abused at a meeting of the Palestine Society at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London.

An Important change is happening in the presidential race — the belief that Mitt Romney could actually win is spreading. There is a growing confidence among his supporters, and the polls are starting to pick up a shift in his favor.
There is another indicator, however, and it is far more reliable. The left-leaning media is getting hysterical, launching over-the-top attacks on Romney and moving to protect President Obama as they see the public turning away from their man. (Read more…)
Washington’s envoy to Israel says the U.S. has plans in place to attack Tehran if necessary to prevent it from becoming an atomic military power.
In remarks before the Israel Bar Association, Dan Shapiro said the U.S. hopes diplomacy and economic sanctions will pressure Iran to abandon its suspect nuclear program.
He says the U.S. prefers not to resort to military force “but that doesn’t mean that option is not fully available. Not just available, but it’s ready. The necessary planning has been done to ensure that it’s ready.”
The Associated Press obtained a recording of his remarks on Thursday. Shapiro spoke Tuesday.
World powers are to meet with Iran for a new round of nuclear talks in Baghdad next week. Iran denies it is building bombs.
It is conventional opinion that Israelis have moved to the right. I disagree. I think the people have stayed in the same place but the right wing political parties have moved to the left. Just compare PM Rabin’s speech (LABOUR) to Knesset a month before his assassination with the governing policies of this government. TED BELMAN
Thirty-five years ago today, Israel’s most famous political upset took place, catapulting Menachem Begin and his Likud party into power and ending their “long public service in the opposition.” Since then the Right has held a tight grip on the reins of power, albeit with brief interruptions by the Left. But despite this ostensibly unchallenged control, at times it seems as though the Left has been at the helm of the ship.
In many ways, Benjamin Netanyahu is one of the strongest prime ministers Israel has ever had. His mega-coalition of 94 MKs only proves that there is no real opposition in Israel. Such a reality is largely a result of the Left’s political demise and the Right’s success in winning over the public’s hearts and minds. The Left is more preoccupied with protecting foreign workers and reinstating socialism than with demonstrations against the occupation. (Read more…)
Establishing Facts In The Field
By Amichai Atali – Ma’ariv 10th May
Translated by Yonatan Silverman
THE OUTPOST METHOD – PALESTINIAN STYLE
In Recent Months The Palestinians Have Settled Dozens Of Points All Around Judea And Samaria – The Method: Erecting Prefabricated Buildings In A Few Hours, While The Monitors Are On A Break – The High Court Will Soon Be Compelled To Decide On The Volatile Issue.
A few weeks before Passover 2011 a factory in the industrial zone of Mishor Adumim received an exceptional order. The factory produces prefabricated buildings. The Palestinian customer asked to receive urgently more than 80 prefabricated buildings. The factory owner had never encountered such a large or urgent order, but he fulfilled it on schedule. Some weeks later while the civil administration monitors were on a Passover break, hundreds of Palestinians came to the area in Nahal Kidar under Ma’aleh Adumim and in a short time erected all the buildings.
