Making a "criminal" out of Saint Israel When it comes to Victim Israel, the media "justice" turns 360 degrees A fascism that selects Israel for unfair harsh terms & gross language. When it comes to victim Israel, all hell break lose. Not only don't they appreciate Israel's reluctance from going on the lose like Arab neighbors, Syria & Jordan that "dealt" with violent "uprising" by just massacring thousands randomly. But it calls Israeli restrained minimal defense-of-lives actions against terror aggression as "aggressive". Not only don't they appreciate Israel's beautiful treatment of it's minorities including favoring it's Arab citizens over Israeli...

Israeli Arabs have equality under law http://neighbors.newstimeslive.com/opinion/letters.php?id=1031073 Letters to the Editor Feb 10 2007 In response to William Keil (letter, Jan. 14): My issue with former President Carter's book was that incorrect facts are used in the book and the charge of racism made against Israel is wrong. An employee of former President Carter quit his employ in protest against the factual errors in the book. Conclusions based on errors cannot be relied upon. Consider the following facts and decide who is practicing racism: Israel has approximately one million Arab citizens who enjoy full equality under the law. The legal...

Just because Muhammad envied & revered the Jews & their sites doesn't make a place "islamic"   I really resent the MSM language, terms & references to the surroundings of the wailing wall, Jews' only surviving piece of it's rich historic temple.   The Islamo Arabs (that basically have a fascist-genocide agenda, there is no secret that they simply want all non Arabs, all non Muslims out or dead), has recently come up with another "religious" theme (in an attempt to galvanize more Muslims around it "religiously"), the excavation by Israeli scientists to repair the Jewish holy site.   "Islamic...

Carter's Arab financiers also financed the Islamic Revolution in Iran http://regimechangeiniran.com/2006/12/carters-arab-financiers-also-f/ Rachel Ehrenfeld, The Washington Times provided a quick survey of former president Jimmy Carter's Arab financiers, particularly the Pakistani Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). A few excerpts: BCCI assisted in spreading and strengthening the Islamic message; they enabled Pakistan's nuclear ambitions, and helped the Palestinian leadership to amass a $10 billion-plus fortune, used to further terrorist activities and to buy more influence in the West. ... They assisted the [Iranian] revolution financially, reinforcing their position within the leadership of the Iranian revolution. Ironically, the success of that...

Former US President Jimmy Carter has joined those who accuse Israel of establishing a system of Apartheid. http://www.totallyjewish.com/news/israel_diary/?content_id=5421 This is an insidious lie based on a false analogy. Apartheid was founded on spurious theories of racial hierarchy, the superiority of certain skin colours and physical features, and the separation of so-called races to avoid contamination. It’s an absurd doctrine, designed to justify prejudice, rationalise oppression and legalise economic exploitation. It’s nothing new. Similar systems have existed throughout history. Untouchables in India; non-Moslems in Islam. Israel’s policy towards the Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza is not Apartheid. Carter makes...

Some might be 'anti-Israel' but no one is 'pro-Arab-Palestinian' Often one might be asked to be put in a decisive vote, if he or she is 'pro Israel' or pro-"Palestinian". Well, here is a sketch of structure of today's international politics: It is no secret, many Europeans in their political & even power competition with the US play with the middle east as a battle field, not only did it play a role in objecting the operation in Iraq, (which ultimately had an effect on world opinion in general against the war & partly in it's failure), but even in...

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3344314,00.html New online: Israel explained Israeli publicity blog, Guide to recently converted and selection of video clips Ilan Itzhayek Published: 12.27.06, 13:41 A small step for the consulate, a giant leap for Israeli publicity: Someone at the communications and publicity department of the Israeli consulate in New York understood that Israel’s monstrous image in the world should be balanced in the only likely way: By presenting real imagery from Israel, and by using the most effective resource: The internet. The consulate has therefore launched a new and informative new blog called “IsRealli ”, pun intended. In this blog the consulate...

Jimmy Carter and the Arab Lobby By Jacob Laksin December 18, 2006 http://frontpagemagazine.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=26045 Nothing demonstrates more clearly the defects of Jimmy Carter’s latest brief against Israel, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, than the ex-president’s reluctance to defend the book on its merits. Rather than take up that unenviable task, Carter has sought to shift the focus away from the criticism -- especially as it concerns the book’s serial distortions and outright falsehoods -- and onto the critics. In particular, Carter claims that critics are compromised by their support for Israel, their ties to pro-Israel lobbying organizations, and -- a more pernicious...

Put the blame where it belongs: The Arab world's crimes on the "Palestinians" The Arab nations keep the Arab-Palestinians and their descendants in squalor. They are denied citizenship rights. They are denied work. They are denied property. They are denied their human rights because they are and always will be a political football in the Arab campaign against Israel.How early did Arab leaders start their crimes on the "Palestinians"?How many times have you heard the term "Palestinian refugees" but never heard the full story behind it? or the the Nakkba, known-coined by "Palestinians" as a catastrophe was actually self inflicted by adhering...

Jimmy Carter Distorts Facts, Demonizes Israel in New Book Former President Jimmy Carter has written an egregiously biased book called Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid and is currently doing numerous interviews to sell the book and its ideas.  Carter is attempting to rewrite history, and in his alternate universe, the Arabs are blameless and Israel is at fault for almost all the conflicts in the world. One gets the feeling after reading just a few pages that if he could have blamed Hurricane Katrina on Israel, he would have. His main messages are that Israel is badly mistreating the Palestinians and that the cause of the conflict is Israel's...

Last Two Embassies Move to Tel Aviv Both El Salvador and Costa Rica, the last two bastions of political recognition of Israel’s capital, have decided to move their embassies from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv. They, like many other nations, succumbed to pressure from Arab and Moslem nations which refuse to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital or deal with countries who do.

The Glowing BBC's Journalist-PROPAGANDIST: Matthew Price on the dead in Gaza (Nov 2006)Don't these propapgandists ever have any brains how transparent they are? You could almost see it in Matthew's eyes how he was waiting for this moment, the moment he can damn Israel for daring to fight for it's survival. As the BBC testifies: "The BBC's Matthew Price was one of the first members of the world media to reach the scene the Beit Hanoun shelling". You didn't see him when Hamas told the Palestinian Arab women to serve as shields for the terrorists in Beit Hanoun. Because he...

Reuters Photo Fraud, nothing new! Dear friends, The blogosphere expressed a level of surprise when Reuters was caught falsifying and staging photos, seeming to completely integrate into the Hezballywod propaganda machine. I have been loading my archive history, and came across Reuters complicity in anti-Israel propaganda early in 2001. See http://dfrankfurter.livejournal.com/2001/02/21/ - exposing staged photography by Reuters journalist Suhaib Salem, with a blatantly misleading caption. And a Google search on the man stumbled over the following piece from the Wall Street Journal of a year and a half later. Wonder what motivates Reuters? Monday, June 3, 2002 2:40 p.m. EDT...

Does Israel have any children?Having watched TV lately, flooded with images of Arab civilians that their brothers - the Hezbollah love to use as shields to fire among/behind them. Being witness to the racist remark of the "moderate" Arab Muslim leader of Lebanon as a reaction to Israeli police hitting the criminal Jihadi murderers: 'Israel is a war machine'. Question: Is there such a thing as an Israeli child, an Israel woman, let alone an Israeli child injured from deliberate Arab Muslim "holy wars"? PS 100 Israeli civilians have beenb injured last week from Hezbollah shelling. Yes, accurate numbers, unlike...

REUTERS' HIJACKING LEBANON'S ANSWER TO THE UN? By Walid Phares A few hours after a Franco-American draft for a UN Security Council resolution was released, pro-Hezbollah lobbies and allies launched a campaign to hijack the response of Lebanon to the United Nations. As noted by seasoned observers the campaign started at the top with an alert release by News Agency Reuters written by Lin Noueihed. The article, put out early Sunday has reached the four corners of the Globe and its title has framed the position of the Lebanese people in a "no" to the UN expected resolution. Amazingly enough,...

25 Years (1982-2007) to BBC (war) Crimes on Israel (Images war)'Victimhood' as a cult, as a pretext to mass murder & Jihadi-fascistic promotion We are all so used to the usual song by Arabists & Islamists propagandists, that it´s their ''victimhood'' that ''makes'' them terrorists. There is only the fundamental problem, their fundamentalism that is, their Jihadi-fascistic ideology on the 'infidels' has nothing to do with what the west does or does not do, though images, especially their tactics to bring about collateral damage & ultimately to those desired (by them) graphic photos of injured Arab kids so that they...

Again, Israel VS "Palestine" - Culture of Life VS Cult of DeathEnemies of Israel, especially the Islamo Arab pro-Jihadi-Death-cult, will never be able to understand why Israel is so involved in a reaction to rescue just ONE of it's youngsters that was kidnapped (July 2006), another cruel method by all time cruel "Palestinians". How can a cult that worships: cruelty, suicide, homicide, genocide, have a concept of saving lives, of rescue, of humanity? When evil sees humanity & compassion as a weakness and viciousness & terrorizing as heroic. The death cult "Palestinians' that value death over life (words of: Sheik...
