Arafat’s Dream by Ari Bussel Once, about a generation ago, there was no entity called “Palestine,” no people called “Palestinians.” There was an “Arab-Israeli Conflict,” a continuing attempt over decades by the Arabs to eliminate the Jewish state and drive the Jews into the sea. This approach was unsuccessful. In 1948 and in 1967 Israel prevailed, although outnumbered and tiny relative to her enemies. Then in 1973, despite all odds she survived an attack on her holiest day. It was not due only to military might, but something greater protecting the Israelis. A very smart man looked around trying to...

ZOA: It's Troubling To See Jewish Leaders Defend Israel/U.S. Basher George Soros Against Glenn Beck's Criticism November 16, 2010 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Morton A. Klein Phone: 212-481-1500 http://www.zoa.org/sitedocuments/pressrelease_view.asp?pressreleaseID=1968 Soros: 1944 (Nazi occupation) “was happiest time of my life … adventure … fun” The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has expressed its concern over the strong criticism that a number of American Jewish leaders and other prominent Jews in recent days have directed at Fox broadcaster, Glenn Beck, for his criticism of Israel/U.S.-basher, financier George Soros, regarding his behavior in Nazi-occupied Budapest in 1944. In that year, George Soros’ father...

Once again, Israel's "peace partner," the Palestinian Authority, talks "peace" to Westerners, but poisons the minds of its own people with the vilest hatred via state-controlled TV. A little Palestinian girl told PA TV, "I say that he [Arafat] died from poisoning by the Jews." (Watch her). She doesn't know that Yasser Arafat, the monster, led her ancestors -- his and her people -- from one disaster to another, from the failed and suicidal takeover of Jordan ("Black September"), to destroying Lebanon, to his "recognition" of Israel during the Oslo debacle, and in July 2000 his rejection of Israel's generous...

Arafat museum in works Keepers of Palestinian leader's memory gathering thousands of objects - photographs, pistols, trademark sunglasses and military-style suits he favored - for display in $3.4 million museum under construction at his former West Bank headquarters. Shopkeeper: I loved him because he died while resisting Israel, US Yasser Arafat had a knack for turning ordinary objects into symbols, including the black-and-white checkered headdress that came to represent the Palestinian quest for a homeland. Six years after his death, the keepers of Arafat's memory are gathering thousands of objects - photographs, pistols, the trademark sunglasses and military-style suits he...

So, I was reading the Drudge Report tonight – in particular the piece about all of the teeth-gnashing and angst that has been wrought by the new airport security procedures – you have to choose between an x-ray photo-shoot that sort of strips you naked for viewing by TSA personnel, or a pat-down search if you refuse the full-body scan – including manipulation of your private parts (not to put too fine a point on it). Reuters has the original report, if you care to read it: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6AA55S20101111 And then I started thinking about who we really have to blame...

When Eli Lake's story regarding J Street's donor list was published the role of George Soros created controversy. Soros has a long history of funding anti-Israel activism so his role at J Street was deliberately hidden by the group for years. Now more revelations have started to leak. I did a bit of further research (hat tip: Cheryl Lewin) about another donor and supporter of J Street: Gail Furman. She sits on its advisory council and is a donor listed on its Form 990  . She is also a member of the board of the Soros-created Democracy Alliance - a...

RAMALLAH, West Bank — It has been 10 years since Palestinians began an uprising that swept away peace talks, triggered a ferocious reaction by the Jewish state and left thousands dead on both sides. Exactly why it happened just as Palestinian statehood seemed attainable is a mystery, fed by conspiracy theories and competing narratives from across the political spectrum. This week comes an intriguing twist: One of the leading figures in Hamas seems to confirm that Yasser Arafat was playing a double game — encouraging Islamic militants to attack inside Israel while publicly insisting he was trying to stop the...

Former Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat instructed Hamas to launch terror attacks against Israel when he realized that the peace talks weren't going anywhere, Mahmoud Zahar, one of the Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip, revealed on Tuesday. "President Arafat instructed Hamas to carry out a number of military operations in the heart of the Jewish state after he felt that his negotiations with the Israeli government then had failed," Zahar told students and lecturers at the Islamic University in Gaza City. Zahar did not say when and how Arafat instructed Hamas back then to launch the "military operations" –...

"My Hero the Grand Mufti" Yassir Arafat was born in Cairo, Egypt to a mother from the al Husseini Clan. The head clansman was Amin al Husseini, the famous Nazi war criminal who worked alongside Adolf Eichmann to kill six million Jews in the Holocaust of World War II. Amin al Husseini escaped the Nuremburg War Crimes Trials in Germany and fled to Egypt in 1945. There he trained his nephew, Yassir Arafat, to carry on Hitler's tradition. Arafat founded the Palestine Liberation Organization. While the PLO waged an unending war of terrorism against the Jewish state of Israel,...

Attacks on nuclear power stations, oil and gas terminals, Canary Wharf and Heathrow’s control tower were being considered by leaders of the plot to blow up seven transatlantic airliners in mid-flight, a court was told yesterday. Documents found on computer memory sticks at the home of an alleged terrorist ringleader contained a list of targets across Britain – including the gas pipeline between Britain and Belgium. The man, Assad Sarwar, was said to be in contact with terrorist leaders overseas and visited Pakistan a month before his arrest as preparations for the airline attacks were being finalised. Peter Wright, QC,...

THE TRUE FACE OF ARAB-ISLAMIC "Palestine" ANIMALISM!The day the world witnessed animalism on display, shameless inhumane revelations, by "average" Arab-Palestinians & their official police. * Two Israelis are nabbed --as they lost their way-- by the "Palestinian" Police who beat them brutally. * They then handed over the men to a mob to lynch, while they watch the scene. * One "proud" Arab-Muslim “hero” had his hands covered in the blood of the Israelis and waved in a bragging manner through the window to the larger crowd anxiously waiting in the public square. (* They were put on military clothes...

How radical Islam makes you: a bigot religiously - a racist ethnically UNIQUENESS OF ISLAM'S INTOLERANCE While Christianity, ever since the termination of the Crusades and the Spanish inquisitions has no plans to "convert by force" anybody else, nor is ever Buddhism or Judaism, Islam --on the other hand-- even modern day Islam is about to Islamize the world, with any means possible. When (thank God) not "yet" accomplished, the Islamists bigotry has a few levels, the "people of the book" a.k.a.

Rick Sanchez Tuesday invited on a former adviser to deceased Palestinian terrorist Yasser Arafat in order to tell viewers how Israel has become a threat to American troops. The CNNer devoted a good amount of his two-hour "Rick's List" to teeing up a number of guests and fellow so-called journalists to voice their anti-Israel sentiments.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) -- Brazil's president placed a wreath on the tomb of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat on Wednesday and sharply criticized Israeli policies, leading Israeli officials to suggest he was not being evenhanded. Making the first visit by any sitting Brazilian president to Israel and the Palestinian territories, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has termed the trip amission of peace." The visit appears aimed at helping Brazil emerge as a bigger player in foreign affairs.

Lula humiliates Israel  Brazilian president refuses to lay down flowers on the grave of the founder of the modern State of Israel  By Julio Severo  I wonder what would happen if, in visit to Brazil, an Israeli government official declared in the Brazilian Congress gaffes humiliating Brazil.  Israelis would not be capable of that discourtesy. They are so polite and civilized that they allowed Lula, as a demonstration of affection for the Brazilian people that represents a large portion of the tourists visiting Israel, to make his speech in the Parliament of Israel.  No retribution for the affection. Lula took...
