It has been stomach-turning to listen to flunkies for Bush such as Rush Limbaugh et all call patriots who want to secure our borders “racist” for being “anti-Arab” regarding the port deal. Who’s the racist? Who the hell do you think you are - you think this is a game?
Dubai Ports World is anti-Semitic, bottom line, a bunch of Nazis, and U.S. law prohibits doing business with companies who boycott Israel . The whole story regarding Dubai ports firm enforcing Israel boycott is enough of the facts to be the end of this entire deal, dead “in the water“. You Bushies who called others “racist” for being “anit-Arab”, let me turn the coin on you - you hate Jews, isn’t?
So you want the Jews to be put in the gas-chambers, right? That is why you support the anti-Semitic Dubai Ports World, right? You flunkies who support this anti-American port deal just because you are water carriers for Bush, let me tell you - I’m going to the Jewish community, I’m going to get the message out regarding all of you who called patriots “racists” for being “anti-Arab”:
. . . is President Bush a closet anti-Semite?
. . . Bushies for Zyklon B?
Is that what it is? You’re not? Then, why do you support Nazis like Dubai Ports World, then? I think the Jewish community needs to know. And ask the questions. After all, you called other patriots “anti-Arab”. Are you anti-Jew?
I think maybe you are. Oh, you don’t like being called racist?
Well, maybe you are racist. I think the Jewish community in America needs to consider.
Just whose side you are on.
It isn’t a question. Now just watch. You like playing politics with the race card? Ok. Now just watch.
The parent company of a Dubai-based firm at the center of a political storm in the US over the purchase of American ports participates in the Arab boycott against Israel, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
The firm, Dubai Ports World, is seeking control over six major US ports, including those in New York, Miami, Philadelphia and Baltimore. It is entirely owned by the Government of Dubai via a holding company called the Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation (PCZC), which consists of the Dubai Port Authority, the Dubai Customs Department and the Jebel Ali Free Zone Area.
"Yes, of course the boycott is still in place and is still enforced," Muhammad Rashid a-Din, a staff member of the Dubai Customs Department's Office for the Boycott of Israel, told the Post in a telephone interview.
"If a product contained even some components that were made in Israel, and you wanted to import it to Dubai, it would be a problem," he said.
A-Din noted that while the head office for the anti-Israel boycott sits in Damascus, he and his fellow staff members are paid employees of the Dubai Customs Department, which is a division of the PCZC, the same Dubai government-owned entity that runs Dubai Ports World.
Moreover, the Post found that the website for Dubai's Jebel Ali Free Zone Area, which is also part of the PCZC, advises importers that they will need to comply with the terms of the boycott.
In a section entitled "Frequently Asked Questions", the site lists six documents that are required in order to clear an item through the Dubai Customs Department. One of them, called a "Certificate of Origin," "is used by customs to confirm the country of origin and needs to be seen by the office which ensures any trade boycotts are enforced," according to the website.
A-Din of the Israel boycott office confirmed that his office examines certificates of origin as a means of verifying whether a product originated in the Jewish state.
On at least three separate occasions last year, the Post has learned, companies were fined by the US government's Office of Anti-boycott Compliance, an arm of the Commerce Department, on charges connected to boycott-related requests they had received from the Government of Dubai.
US law bars firms from complying with such requests or cooperating with attempts by Arab governments to boycott Israel.
In one instance, according to a Commerce Department press release, a New York-based exporter agreed to pay a fine for having "failed to report in a timely manner its receipts of requests from Dubai" to provide certification that its products had not been made in Israel.
The proposed handover of US ports to DP World has provoked a political storm in Washington, where Republicans and Democrats alike have expressed hostility to the plan, citing national security concerns.
In an attempt to stave off opposition, DP World agreed over the weekend to a highly unusual 45-day second federal investigation of potential security risks.
and he won't ever respond either.
It's either Michael Savage or a drunk

You seem like a fairly nasty piece of work.
It is hard to cut through the fog on both sides. Here's the issue -- and it is neither racist nor 'nativist'-- this is a corporation wholly-owned by one of the few governments in the world that actively supports Wahabi Mohamedanism -- the strain of this primitive religion which actively supports 9-11 style attacks on non-Mohamedans.
By means of this deal, the corporation will gain access to several hundred new visas for their 'managers' by reason of their new role as 'managers' of the ports. While it is true that they will still have to play 'catch us if you can' with US Customs and DHS, their ability to station Wahabist Mohamedans in the infrastructure of our major ports will at a minimum complicate the Customs/DHS task.
It is not their 'race' (ie your 'racist' charge) or their country of origin (ie your 'nativist' charge) which gives concern, it is their government's active support for the very philosophy which caused the loss of life on 9-11.
This is not the NFL or MLB where we give the last place team the first draft pick to make the contest more competitive. We do not want the Mohamedan terrorists to become more competitive. If the UAE government were to openly renounce Wahabism in favor of some 'live-and-let-live' form of Mohamedanism, I would allow the deal to go through. But they won't and so I wouldn't either. I believe in self-defense.
My screen namesame once defined a 'liberal' as one so broadminded that he could not take his own side in a quarrel. Let us hope we will not be so 'liberal' in this instance.
How do you get banned. Have you seen some of the "keyword" people have been adding to these threads. I really would like to know. For instance can someone tell me why for instance "towelheads" and other deogratory terms are ok on a consistent basis. For instance on a thread discussing catholics can a person enter a keyword such as "Papist". or a thread dealing with African American issues can one enter a key word such as "porchmonkey" For the record I hate both of those words since I am a Catholic and two am not racist and they would certaintly put me in hot water with my black gf.
Cant we just vet their folks through the cia and fbi. I mean we have Americans here that practice that faith. I suspect that will happen anyway.
Last time I checked you can't support the Wahabi position and donate land to a Christian church ~ something that's already been done for 3 Christian churches.
I f I am right there is just one tribe out of six there that is is really wahabbi but I need to double check
These continue to try to show they are "worthy" by regularly attempting to overthrow whoever it is trying to rule Yemen.
At the same time there are parts of Saudi that didn't want in. They are treated brutally by the Saudis all the time.
All is not as it seems in the Peninsula!
" But seriously are Muslims seating at home deciding their votes because the UAE or any other Muslim country gets a shipping contract?"
No, they are biding their time waiting for the sign from mohammed. And when they have the goodly number they need, and the timing is right, they will strike american infidels within our borders and strike they will with extreme prejudice.
Only terrorist sympathizers don't accept or realize what they have planned.
...and I thought I was weird.
Another series of either misstatement or willful lies. I suggest you stop posting an simply read the threads. Your statements about UAE display a rather stunning level of ignorance. They do NOT support Whabbist. IN FACT UAE BANS Internet access to extremist Islamic Websites.
They will NOT "managing our ports". That is another lie or willing misstatement. They are buying the company that hold the lease on 9 Port Terminals. 9 terminals out of 300 in the mentioned 6 port. They will not "Gain access to several hundred new visas" another lie or willful misstatement.
What are they going to do with the existing staff of the company they are buying. Same thing any other company does when they make a new acquisition. Keep them doing their job unless they are duplicating a function they purchasing company performs elsewhere. That doesn't apply to a port terminal. You need the staff on hand without interruptions
The level of ignorance being displayed on this story by the Port Deal Critics is truly amazing. Perhaps the Rabid knee jerks should simply shut up about a topic they know NOTHING about. Out of 300 Terminals in the 6 ports, the Dubai company is buying the company that holds the lease on 9 Terminals. Let's put down the Democrat Press Releases and start ACTUALLY learning the facts instead of just spewing the hysteric nonsense about "taking over our ports" Local Govt Port Authorities run our ports. Local State and Federal Agencies run the security aspects. This is a kin to an Airline getting gate assignments at the local airport. The rest of your statements are just simply factually incorrect. You are either being incorrect from ignorance or malice, I will leave that for others to decide.
It is a mystery there. I go to a couple of Saudi blogs including one called "the religious policeman" which is great and hilarious to get some insight. I have never figured out how much of the House of Saud rally believes in this Wahbbinism stuff. It seems like a pact with the devil to me. I thought I read one time that at some point in this century the clerics were getting out of control and the Saudi family killed a good bit of them and some sort of unwritten agreement has existed between the two ever since
Seems to me the logical conclusion of this argument is that the US should not trade with any country that boycotts Israel. That simply is not practical.
Wonder does that mean we start kicking all EU companies out of the US? They are giving a whole slug of money to Hamas.
Please, my muslim doctor is a part of this plan as well as the majority of muslims in the usa. This sounds alot like how the Jesuits want to rule the world and control all forms of Govt in the USA. There is no secret plan among American muslims.
bump
YEah, I think alot of this is people dont know how business operates. In the end the theory has always been that trade opens up the world of ideas. That seems to have been the gospel for years. There is alot behind this and the motives behind all this anti port stuff are many.
"There is no secret plan among American muslims."
On this we can agree. It is not a secret.
