The UK Is Screwed: Rotherham's Shame-and England's Shame

It is disgusting and shameful, but you can't shame the shameless. 

"This scale of criminality and victimhood is vast for a country that has traditionally regarded itself as law-abiding. Worse, the report concedes that the estimate of 1,400 victims is a conservative one. (It is the equivalent of about three girls’ schools.) Some of the girls were as young as eleven. And since other (more or less identical) cases of criminal exploitation of young Christian girls by Pakistani Muslim men have been uncovered in cities such as Oldham, Birmingham, and Oxford in the last decade, the total number of victims must be staggering."

"The motives of the exploiters, though vile, are not hard to understand. They plainly include both racism and sexism alongside the lust and cruelty enabled by their misogynistic culture."

"But what explains the silence, the acquiescence, even the cooperation of the authorities? Their motives seem to derive from the rich stew of progressive absurdities that constitute official attitudes in modern Britain. The first is the fear of being suspected of racism. Again and again the police and the social workers shrank from intervening or responding to complaints because to do so would invite the accusation that they were “racist.”

"...these girls were seen by officials not as children in need of protection but as powerless pieces of meat who scarcely deserved the rights of British citizens and who could be safely ignored to avoid embarrassment."

"Another element in official attitudes is hostility to the family and a hatred of the notion that families might instill traditional moral values in their children."

Must Read Steven Plaut: 40 Lessons From the Hamas War Against the Jews

The truth about this war sucks, and that's why so many people are in denial about it.


National Post: Converting To Islam Might Save Your Disgusting Infidel Heads But Hey Probably Not, Kufar

This is definitely the worst, most idiotic and insulting piece that the National Post has ever printed. 

Here's a few words of prayer and conversion that you should utter, you pathetic infidels, that may save your dhimmi selves.

What a load of garbage. 

"There is much in the Koran about “kafirs” (non-believers) and how Muslims should deal with them. (Spoiler: They shouldn’t always be killed.) From my personal experience, a conversation with a Muslim theologue always changes for the better once you show them you have some kind of knowledge of the Koran and Islam."

This is disgracefully dishonest.

There are plenty of kafirs who loved Muslim culture, learn Arabic and are expert in the Koran who but found themselves without their heads attached to their necks because when it comes down to it a kafir is a kafir is a kafir. 

Trying to convince a fanatic that you love the Koran or Muslim culture has simply NOT helped save anyone.

Appeasement never makes it better.

I would rather die than utter those words in a pathetic attempt to appease. 

Hey Ms. Qureshi, how about these words instead:

"'My father's Jewish, my mother's Jewish, I'm Jewish,'"

Obama Hates Jews, It's Pretty Easy To See

"It’s clear to me, and by now it should be to others, that there is something sinister in Barack Obama’s constant anger aimed at Israel."

"No previous American president has carried in his heart this degree of hostility for Israel. We can only hope that no future president ever does again. It is a shameful thing to watch this ugliness and irrationality play itself out."

Israel = Jews of course.

"It is difficult to overstate how awful these crimes were, nor how completely victims were failed by the authorities. One girl was doused in petrol and told she would be set on fire if she didn't comply. Others were forced to watch rapes and told they would be next if they spoke out."

"The police regarded these girls with as much contempt as the rapists. And in perhaps the most horrific paragraph in a report published yesterday, we learned that in two cases fathers had tracked down their daughters and tried to rescue them from houses in which they were being held, only to find themselves arrested by police, while the rapists walked free."

"How many council staff do you suppose are under investigation, or have been sacked? Yup, you guessed it: none."

The Great Communicator Flubs It In Epic Fashion, Unable to Communication His Greatness to Actual, Real Men Who Actually Served Their Country

Heh. 

It is true that only the Daily Mail has the 'nads to describe America properly nowadays.

The collective American Media Castrati are unwilling to surrender their Obama afterglow. It still feeeeeeeels soooo goooooood!

(Great phrasing: "Tepid clapping followed pregnant seconds of emptiness.")

You know NARS has that "Orgasm" blush, it's their best seller. 

I think they should come up with a new blush called Obama Media Afterglow.

Not buying it: An estimated 10,000 American Legionnaires registered to attend the convention in Charlotte, but few of them were on their feet clapping for the commander-in-chief
HAPPY TO BE LISTENING TO POTUS, YES?


Anyone else still get annoyed by the ever present Royal Teleprompter?

The Greatest Communicator Ever EVAH EVAH in the whole history of the universe still cannot speak even a full sentence without reading it off a machine? 

Does this guy have any human blood running through his veins at all?

Awesome: US Television Looks to Israel for TV Ideas

This is great. 

The quality of Israeli TV has increased in such an incredible way over the past decade-it's just amazing.

We watch a lot of shows on line and they are interesting, gripping and hilarious. The writing is superb and the acting is great also. Plus, Israelis are gorgeous-actors are very easy on the eyes!

One of our favourites now is a reality show that brings 3 grandmothers together to give life advice to couples who are struggling with some kind of issue. It's excellent. They are wise, wise grannies. There are so many good ones, it's hard to pick a favourite.

UK Parents Arrested For Trying to Protect Them Against Rapists

The UK is screwed.

Shameful. 

No heads will role.

Let's recap-in one town alone, 1400 children were sexually abused, but nothing was done because of a fear of being called racist.

So, at least 1400 children were destroyed and now live as haunted, violated shells of themselves but at least nobody's exquisitely sensitive religious sensibilities were offended by uppity dhimmis. 

Nobody will take responsiblity.

And this is most likely, just the tip of the iceberg.

Zara Removes Children's Holocaust PJs From Stores

Remember-Zara has a policy to never pay for advertisements.

This is a PR stunt, and not their first one and it worked, obviously.

Moreover, it combines getting a free whack of publicity along with showing their clear contempt for Jews at the same time.

Perhaps a drop in the bucket, but I'll never buy anything from Zara ever again.

With a chain this large and with such tight control on the brand, I don't even think that once could be a "mistake".

Steyn: The Only JayVee Player on the Court

Great spot from Mark Steyn appearing last night on Hannity.

I also have to say that I have a huge, new found respect for Sean Hannity for going to Israel and for his reportage from there. He really did a great job and it does take a certain weight of stones to actually go there in person, with a crew and see what is happening on the ground. So kudos.

Also, like John Oakley-he lets Steyn speak! This is what's known as GOOD interview technique.

Hmmm. Rosen's first (only???) rule of journalism?

LET STEYN SPEAK. 

Right, that works for me.

Anyway, do watch the whole clip. 

For us uppity infidels, this is kind of like therapy. I mean, Red Wine Therapy on occasion (dry, Kosher, preferably from Italy or France or Israel...) is also a good thing, but it is certainly also moderately arousing therapeutic to hear Mr. Steyn express so eloquently how despicable this President is, and the "prissypants", "faculty lounge" attitude that they have toward the jihad and real threats to world peace.

Must Read: Former AP Correspondent Explains the Degree to Which the Media Loathes Israel and Jews

It's a very honest reveal of how disgusting the mainstream news organizations are, how virulent the hatred is toward Israel and exactly how the editorial policies are shaped. 

Here's an insightful bit:

"Like many Jews who grew up late in the 20th century in friendly Western cities, I dismissed such ideas as the feverish memories of my grandparents. One thing I have learned—and I’m not alone this summer—is that I was foolish to have done so."

"Today, people in the West tend to believe the ills of the age are racism, colonialism, and militarism. The world’s only Jewish country has done less harm than most countries on earth, and more good—and yet when people went looking for a country that would symbolize the sins of our new post-colonial, post-militaristic, post-ethnic dream-world, the country they chose was this one."

And this sentence is a keeper:

"Coverage is a weapon to be placed at the disposal of the side they like."

Media coverage is a weapon.

Absolutely. 

Another good nugget:

"You don’t need to be a history professor, or a psychiatrist, to understand what’s going on."

"Having rehabilitated themselves against considerable odds in a minute corner of the earth, the descendants of powerless people who were pushed out of Europe and the Islamic Middle East have become what their grandparents were—the pool into which the world spits. The Jews of Israel are the screen onto which it has become socially acceptable to project the things you hate about yourself and your own country. The tool through which this psychological projection is executed is the international press."

Dennis Prager: On the Death of My Father

Absolutely beautiful. 

Do read the whole thing. It's just outstanding.

There is so much wisdom in this essay, it's one of Prager's very best.

This is so insightful:

"Just as children can be a source of pride or shame to parents, parents can be a source of pride or shame to their children. In some ways, even more so...If your parents bring you no shame, be very grateful. If you’re proud of them, celebrate."

"No matter how old you are, as long as a parent is alive, you are still a child. It is only after both die that you cease being a child. And then, all of a sudden, not only are you no longer a child, you are also next in line."








Lawfare by Liberals: First Identify the Target, Then Make Something Stick

This seems to be epidemic in America. 

And then when people want to fight back, it breaks them emotionally, financially, professionally and psychologically.

These lawfare cases against fellow citizens are just as bad as jihadist lawfare.

Using the law as a tool to intimidate and silence political opponents and destroy their lives is unacceptable in a civilized society.

The question is-where is the will to fight back, what can be done and who is doing what?

Must Read Instapundit: What to Do About the Militarization of the Police in America

Good stuff: 

"But blurring the lines between civilian policing and military action is dangerous, because soldiers and police have fundamentally different roles. Soldiers aim outward, at the nation's external enemies. Civil rights and due process don't matter much, because enemies in wartime aren't entitled to those. Nor are soldiers expected to be politically accountable to the people they shoot."

"But police turn their attention inward."

"The people they are policing aren't enemy combatants, but their fellow citizens -- and, even more significantly, their employers. A combat-like mindset on the part of police turns fellow-citizens into enemies, with predictable results."

And he has a plan!!

I like this first bit particularly:

"First, we should abolish police unions."

"All public-employee unions are suspect, given that they're basically organizations to take more money from taxpayers while minimizing accountability, but this is even more troubling where the employees in question carry guns."

Gaza Children Cheer For Rockets to Hit America (Big Satan) After Israel (Little Satan)

These are are the people that President Barack Obama loves.

The people that not only want to destroy the Jews, but America as well. 

Think about that.

The Past Week in World Wide Judenhass

Last week, a prominent Turkish Jewish couple were murdered in their home. 

A Jewish couple was assaulted in New York by thugs with Palestinian flags.

A Rabbi was murdered in Miami in cold blood on the Sabbath as he walked to synagogue.

A four year old boy was murdered by Hamas rockets.

A four year old boy could not get to the shelter in time. They have 3 seconds to get to a shelter. I can't even write about it without crying. I can't look at his picture without feeling a pain in my body.

A Jewish nursery school in Copenhagen is targeted by the savages.

And as the missiles continue to fall in Israel, the question is really:

Is Israel "choosing not to win"?

If You Think You Are Having a Bad Day...

You probably aren't, but you are probably having a momentary pity party and that's human.

Seems to me that a measure of a happy person, a content person is how fast you can move from the pity party to feeling content again and grateful for this life we have. A few moments? A few days? A few years? A few decades?  A lifetime? Never?

If it's not life and death, then it's probably a pity party of some degree.

Some context:

Yesterday I was at an event and the people at this event are all families with a loved one with serious and/or chronic illness, many life-threatening conditions. I saw a family there that I knew from an entirely different context, but knew that if they were there-they had a reason, and it for sure as heck would not be a good one.

So I gave the mom a kind of 'what are you doing here' look.

And she said, quite simply "oh-didn't you know about my brain tumour"?

Needless to say, it was quite humbling and I am so glad that she was there, under the shining sky to tell the tale, thank G-d.

I spent all of last Friday trying to avoid the pictures of the little 4 year old boy who was murdered by a Hamas rocket in Israel but his beautiful picture was everywhere.

Yesterday, while I was feeding my son I just started crying, thinking about him and his family. My heart was breaking, even though it's not my sad thing directly-the Jewish people are all one family, one nation. As a mother, it's the unthinkable.

So like I say, if it's not life and death, you have to reclassify it in your head.

That sentence "oh-didn't you know about my brain tumour" will stay with me forever. Not that it was life-changing for me because I am a life-lover, but it was certainly an important one.

(Stephen) Harper's Hair Was Talking!

AIYEEEEEEE!

His hair?!?!

It talks?!??!

OMG!!!

HE SO SCARY!

I SO SCARED!!!

HAIRY SCARY!!!

This is just one of the lines of Heather Mallick's Love Letter to Justin Trudeau.

*Spoiler alert*

She thinks he is like soooooo DREAMY!

*sigh*

"Trudeau is intelligent, humane and self-confident, a Québécois who is devoted to Canadian unity and has the most marvellous family: a sophisticated career-minded wife, Sophie Grégoire, and three adorable young children with the interesting names that only confident parents bestow: Xavier James, Ella-Grace and Hadrien. He has an English degree from McGill, a UBC teaching degree and taught for several years. He has his father’s intellect and wit, while being more down to earth, and his mother’s good looks and warmth. And the guy, a Montrealer, can wear a suit."

(Interesting names that only "confident" parents bestow??? That is MENTAL.)

Is that not the most fawning paragraph in the history of Canadian journalism? He's just perfect!

"Take every word over four letters in that paragraph and you have a list of why the ruling Conservatives hate him."

"I didn’t put the word “attractive” in there in case they fizzed with resentment and exploded, like when you shake a pop can and open its little metal hole."

(That sounds to me more like very thinly disguised code for sexual frustration, in the physician- heal-thyself kind of way, but what do I know??)

And this paragraph is very, very strange:

"Once you reach this point, even people who find Conservative keywords erotic —”F-35,” “immigrants,” “elite” “taxpayer dollars” and weirdly, “sipping” — look at Harper skeptically."

Hey I resemble that remark! That one about finding Conservative keywords erotic-but those are the wrong keywords, baby.

And as far as Stephen Harper goes:

FOUR MORE YEARS!

(Jason Kenney would also be good, or John Baird...JUST SAYIN...) 

As for the recent break-in (the perfect man has no security system for his perfect family):

Has anyone confirmed the whereabouts of Mr. Perfect's brother on said weekend?

Mark Steyn: The Face of the Tiger

You must read every bit of Mark Steyn's post "The Face of the Tiger". 

Marshal McLuhan once famously remarked that "the medium is the message".

Jihadists keep making the same point over and over again, but the exquisitely petrified apologist dhimmi West wants little to do with hearing the message.

"Somehow we keep missing the point: the story did get out; the severed head is the message."

I urge you to read the whole thing, because it's also a very good take-down of the Narcissist Golfer In Chief, a man, who Steyn so aptly refers to as one "who seems to think the 18th hole is the moral high ground".

Mr. Obama is not a real man.

These are real men.

Steyn understands the problem.

As do others, like, his fellow smart Canadian Rex Murphy, G-d bless him, who was finally allowed to write a column asking if, after the latest beheading, can we finally use the "I" word? 

Murphy asks:

"When will the world take the jihadists at their word? Is there any doubt whatsoever that ISIS — which is currently slaughtering Christians, beheading its opponents, purging “non-believers” and storming about Iraq and Syria with the cry “Convert or Die” — is not fanatically, ruthlessly and irredeemably rooted in religious extremism? What, in any god’s name, does the first “I” is ISIS stand for?"

"The President of the United States offered his, by now too familiar, affectless mush on the killing. He declared that “no faith teaches people to massacre innocents.” But that’s not how ISIS reads the Koran."

"Who is Obama not to take ISIS at its word? Like the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, it is their declared goal of restoring the “Caliphate” that stirs their demented souls. If they name their religion, let us name it, too."

"Pure evil — there’s a terminology adequate to the deed. In this contest with radical Islam, the answer to Juliet’s question — What’s in a name? — is … everything."

My own opinion is that there is no such thing as "Islamism" and I think that this semantic playground is precisely what distinguishes those who are serious about the problem and those who are not. 

It's just like when you have a conversation with someone and they talk about Israel and "Palestine", you know right away where they are coming from ideologically. 

Let's now go back to Steyn and the tiger:

There was a young lady of Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside
And the smile on the face of the tiger.


"The smile on the face of the tiger is the video recording of the death of Daniel Pearl. What an accomplished production it sounds. According to Pakistani authorities, somewhere between five and eight persons were present to choreograph and record the murder of the Wall Street Journal reporter.

"They wanted to get it right, and, from their point of view, they did."

Yet "American journalists" will continue to try and ride the tiger. 

I'm just a plain old American journalist they cry-but what the jihadist sees is: JEW. 

I believe this article has been scrubbed somewhat, but it did originally indicate that he is the grandson of Holocaust survivors.  A friend gives some insight into what could possibly motivate the grandson of Holocaust survivors to abandon America the beautiful-the Garden of Eden that let them in when they survived blood soaked Nazi Europe, and run toward arguably one of the most dangerous places for a Jew to go-the jihadist Middle East-home of the real "neo" Nazis.

A million people could have told him what he was doing was foolish, it seemed like it to us outsiders looking in, but to him it was what he loved to do and you weren’t going to stop him,” he told Central Florida Future."

Steve said it was scary over there. It was dangerous. It wasn’t safe to be over there. He knew it. He kept going back.”

Theo Van Gogh asked "can't we talk about this" not realizing until that moment that it is impossible to discuss anything when your throat is being slit and your head falls to the earth.

Another friend of Mr. Sotloff gets it wrong completely because she, too, is looking through a Western lens. 

"Anne Marlowe, a writer, said on her Twitter account Mr. Sotloff had lived in Yemen for years, “spoke good Arabic, deeply loved Islamic world. … for this he is threatened with beheading.”

No, it's because he thought that speaking good Arabic, and deeply loving the Islamic world is some kind of infidel immunity. 

"Can't we talk about this", even in Arabic, they wonder?

No-we cannot.

Nor should we ever entertain the thought.

To think we can talk about this is the beginning of the end-for the individual and for civilization.












Tim Blair Has Got a Big Pair: Best Apology Ever, Ever EVAH EVAH EVAH!?!?

"Anyhow, enough of this evidence-based malarky."

"Time to get this apology out of the way."

"To any readers who actually followed those instructions at the top of the column and converted to Islam, I neglected to include an important warning. Although converting to Islam is extremely easy, converting from Islam — particularly in the Middle East — may cause beatings, head loss and death by stoning."

"Looks like you’re stuck with it. Sorry about that."

It is a capital offense in Palestinian "culture" to assist Jews who do not wish to be murdered.

It is only interesting to the world if there is a Jew involved.

America's Stupidest People End Up As "Educators"

It's a fact. 

A South Carolina high school student was arrested and his locker searched for weapons and he was charged with a crime and suspended from school after writing a FICTION story about killing his neighbour's DINOSAUR as a HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT.


"A 16-year-old Summerville High School student says he was arrested Tuesday morning and suspended after writing about killing a dinosaur using a gun."

"Alex Stone said he and his classmates were told in class to write a few sentences about themselves, and a "status" as if it was a Facebook page."

"Stone said in his "status" he wrote a fictional story that involved the words "gun" and "take care of business."

"I killed my neighbor's pet dinosaur, and, then, in the next status I said I bought the gun to take care of the business," Stone said.

What a bunch of incompetent moron CHILD ABUSERS. 

FIRE.

THEM. 

ALL. 

"According to police, when Stone was asked by school officials about the comment written on the assignment, he said it was a joke."

Hello dumbass Sommerville, S.C police: DID YOU NOT HEAR THAT DINOSAURS ARE EXTINCT? THERE IS THIS THING CALLED GOOGLE ON THE INTERNET YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELVES. 

"Summerville police officials say Stone was disruptive and was told that he was being detained for disturbing schools."

"Stone was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. District officials say the student has been suspended."

Childrearing Random Post: Manners Matter

Last Saturday, I took my son for a walk and stopped in the park.

We have a special needs stroller for him because although he can walk, he tires easily.

He went on the play structure and was having some fun, and then decided after a few minutes that he had had enough.

Another kid, about 12 years old was also on the equipment. My son has an unusual gait, kind of wobbly walk, so the other kid was staring at him. He also looks different.

Some (asshole) doctors call this "FLK" syndrome. Funny looking kid-yes this is a real thing. Look it up if you like. I know he looks different, and I couldn't care less.

My son started to hobble down the ramp, and the other kid was in front of him. This kid looked back at my son and yelled "why is he following me".

So I said "he's not following you".

The kid then looked at me, laughed at him and yelled "he looks like a zombie".

I tell you, I was pretty pissed and upset, but I didn't say anything.

I really would have loved to scream "hey kid, you know what F&CK you-you're a zombie", but I kept my mouth shut and my son hopped on the stroller (totally oblivious to the comment) and was laughing and smiling.

And this episode just reminded me that there is such a thing as good breeding.

And good breeding has NOTHING to do with money.

It's not about one's economic level.

It's about parents doing their job to raise polite children who have manners and social graces.

So, though I would have had momentary satisfaction opening my big mouth, I was focused more on the fact that this child will have a lifetime of suffering from his disgusting lack of manner and lack of consideration. His parents failed. Such low class. Disgusting. 

Money can buy a lot of thing but not good breeding. Manners matter. Courtesy matters.

These things, of course, can be learned, but are better transferred by parent to child by example.

So there's that.

Steyn: American Decapitated By Englishman

Here are some notes from Mark Steyn's spot on the Oakley show this morning, plus the audio.




Here is a Steynian nugget:

"There are two approaches to ISIS: You can kill it. Or you can feed it. And right now we're feeding it - with manpower, and with victims. And, as it feasts, it grows."

And by "ISIS" he, of course, means The Jihad, The Caliphate, etc...

Here's the bit about liberal society that I mentioned in a previous post:

Oakley: "How do we address this ("Canadian" jihadists, etc..) as a liberal society in the West, Mark?"

Steyn: "Well, when you say 'a liberal society', it's a question of whether "liberal society" is a euphemism for suicide pact."

And here is a GAHHHHHHHH line: "...we are becoming them."

Real War on Women: Syrian Child Bride Edition

"Local sources say the going rate for a bride is between 2,000 and 10,000 Jordanian dinars ($2,800/£1,635 to $14,000/£8,180) with another 1,000 ($1,400/£818) going to the broker."

"These guys from the Gulf know there are families in need here," said Amal, a refugee, and mother of four.

"They offer money to the family and the first thing they ask is 'do you have girls?'

"They like the young ones, around 14 and 15."

A Reminder From Professor Mordechai Keidar: Why Do They Slaughter Their Victims?

Let's make peace with these people!

"What is common to Daniel Perl, Nick Berg, a British soldier on London street, the Jews of Hebron in 1929 and the Fogel family in Itamar? They all were butchered. They were not simply stabbed to death, but were killed by an act designed to decapitate them or to cause fatal bleeding by severing their carotid artery."

"In western societies, slaughter seems barbaric, while members of Moslem societies view it as proper and commendable when carried out within the proper context. Therefore, slaughtering a Jew, a Christian or anyone seen as an enemy is not considered unusual in traditional Islamic societies. This is what professional jargon calls “a cultural difference”." 

The new phase of this discussion, and indeed-of the burgeoning jihadist calpihate is what to do when Western societies have not just IMPORTED jihad to their shores (bad and suicidal enough), but are also now EXPORTING it around the world.

Mark Steyn on John Oakley this morning (I will post the audio as soon as Oakley does) called it a process of "disassimilation", noting that there is currently no serious examination of this problem in the West.

He went on to talk about how we have a process whereby a first generation immigrant went the traditional immigrant route, fitting in, working from dusk to dawn, etc..but now that same immigrant's grandchild has "disassimilated" to the point of being an active participant in the jihad against Western civilization.

When Oakley asked what to do in order to keep our society liberal, Steyn quipped something like 'if by liberal, you mean suicidal' (will get the exact quote once the audio is up).

The West is certainly committing conscious and unconscious CULTURCIDE.

G-d help us and help us to help ourselves.










 

Today in Eurabian Judenhass: "Anti-Israel" Protestors Swarm Synagogue in Geneva, Switzerland

So much for "we're not antisemites, we're just 'anti-Zionists'.

Excitable members of the frothing, rabid, actual neo-Nazi mob held a sign saying:

'Every synagogue is an Israeli embassy' 

When your enemies are telling you what they are, and what they think, and what they will do, you better damned well listen to them and not to their complicit, supine, dhimmi translators cum apologists in the Western world.

Dreaded, Seekrit Joooo Kathy Draidle: "Here Comes the Mob (Again)"

Draidle always brings out the very best in JOOOOOOOO haters. 

This is a great reply.

Anyway, if you like, take a read of Draidle's summary of Big Trans having a hissy fit because Gavin McInnes thinks they are weird.

(Why Big Trans should care what he thinks or anyone else thinks is beyond me. I mean who cares what "people" or "the world" or anyone thinks?? I think it's more about punishing people that have the nerve to disagree, and not take this "cause" up as their own personal civil rights movement and articulate some of the many glaring red flags about the whole movement that are perfectly sensible to sensible individuals.)

Fortunately, in his own words, he's rich so he really doesn't have to care about them, the boycott, or getting turfed out of his own company (I bet he is going to build something much better, with even further reach because he's very smart and entrepreneurial).

It's great that this whatever it is-battle, campaign, temper tantrum-who knows-will certainly not crush him financially-and that's great, because that is often the goal.

I hope he wears this as a badge of courage, and carries on and goes on to even bigger and better things.

The main thing is family anyway. 

Living well, being in a happy marriage and having happy, healthy kids and a supportive extended family and a few good friends are ultimately the only things that really matter.

So kudos.

This is Amazing! Sultan Knish: How to Write About Israel

This is so accurate. 

The journalists covering Israel are just an insufferable bunch. I've written about them before. This is an absolutely perfect depiction of The Rules.

I love it. I've read it twice already and I'm still nodding along as I read it and laughing.

Hard to pick a favourite graph also. But here are a few choice nuggets:

"It has two types of people; the Israelis who live in posh houses stocked with all the latest appliances and the Arabs who live in crumbling shacks that are always in danger of being bulldozed. The Israelis are fanatical, the Arabs are passionate. The Israelis are hate-filled, while the Arabs are embittered. The Israelis have everything while the Arabs have nothing."

"Weigh every story one way. Depersonalize Israelis, personalize Muslims. One is a statistic, the other a precious snowflake. A Muslim terrorist attack is always in retaliation for something, but an Israeli attack is rarely a retaliation for anything. When Israeli planes bomb a terrorist hideout, suggest that this latest action only feeds the "Cycle of Violence" and quote some official who urges Israel to return to peace negotiations-- whether or not there actually are any negotiations to return to."

"The Israelis can also be divided into two categories. There are the good Israelis, who wear glasses, own iPads and live in trendy neighborhoods. They are very concerned that the country is losing its soul by oppressing another people. They strum out-of-date American peace songs on guitars that they play badly, but which you will describe them as playing "soulfully", and they show up at rallies demanding that the government make peace with the Palestinians."

"Your good Israelis invariably volunteer or work for some NGO, a fact that you may or may not mention in your article, but you are not to discuss who funds their NGO, particularly if it's a foreign government. Write about them as if they are the hope of an otherwise brutish and unreasonable Israel too obsessed with killing and destroying to listen to the hopeful voices of its children."

Then, he notes (and my husband certainly resembles this remark and I am quite happy about it), there are "the other Israelis. The big swarthy men who have no interest in alternative art exhibits..."

Excellent: Hit the Jew Haters Back Harder, Especially Where It Hurts Most, Dateline Glasgow

This is really how it's done: 

"Plans to bring 600 US visitors to Glasgow have been abandoned because of the city council’s decision to fly the Palestinian flag."
 
"The trip, which would have injected hundreds of thousands of pounds into Glasgow, and the Scottish economy, was a reward to 600 salesmen and women, and their spouses."

"The Vice-President of one of the leading special event companies in the US has told the council that the planned six-day trip is off. The company is one of the Fortune group whose members are the top 500 worldwide corporations, including WalMart, Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil, Volkswagen and Coca Cola."

"But, after reading about Glasgow’s decision to fly the Palestinian flag over the City Chambers to show solidarity with Gaza, the New York-based vice-president of the company wrote to Glasgow’s Lord Provost, Sadie Docherty, saying: “I was, until I read the article in the Scottish Express, and substantiated by the press all over the world, spearheading an event in Glasgow for 600 business visitors to be guests of your wonderful city."

“We were scheduling six days in Glasgow, three for business and three for leisure time."

Having read your statement endorsing Hamas and its leadership due to the number of Muslims in your city, I have decided to cancel all plans for our trip. We are a Fortune 500 Company, so costs were really not a serious consideration, location was."

Hopefully, the Muslim population that you so sincerely endorse will have the spending power of the very people you have chased away so well.”

Spectacular: How To Make a Kid Who Can Build a Boat

Honestly, Instapundit finds some of the most incredible gems on the internet.

This story really moved me. 

"Adam Green, straw-haired and earnest but with a rebellious streak running through him, enrolled at Bronx Science in 1987, one of the few New York City schoolchildren to be accepted among the 25,000 who apply each year. He hated it. He transferred to a private school and hated that too. He felt he was getting a curriculum, not an education."

"This was the best society had to offer, and it didn't do much for me at all," he says. "I thought, screw this. I'm not going to do anything I don't want to do again." During college a teacher friend who worked with an environmental educational group asked Green if he would volunteer to help some students build a boat. It sounded like fun, and in doing it, Green noticed that the kids picked up some math skills in the designing and building of a boat, skills they hadn't gotten from textbooks or standardized tests."

"In 1996, Green founded Rocking the Boat."

"Green soon realized that his modest after-school boatbuilding program might double as a form of therapy for these very poor, sometimes deeply troubled kids. This was wonderful in theory, but Green wasn't trained as a therapist.

"In the first year alone, three different girls told him on different occasions that they had been sexually abused by their mothers' boyfriends in their own homes."

(Always the boyfriend. Women sell their souls and the safety of their children for the boyfriend...)

"I thought, okay, I officially got in way over my head," he says. Rocking the Boat soon hired its first social worker."

Read the whole thing.

It's absolutely delightful.

Today in Eurabian Judenhass-Dateline, Sweden

Jewish woman beaten up for wearing Star of David.

America, I Love You, But Your Police Are Out of Control

A 19 year old American was shot and killed by police because a power drill was "mistaken" for an Uzi machine gun. 

 Via Reason:

"We had a call, somebody with an Uzi, threatening to kill family members -- a very, very serious situation, very dangerous situation for our officers. We had communication with this person. Unfortunately, I guess at some point those communications either broke down or the officers felt threatened in some form or fashion."

Isn't that helpful? 

There was some kind of weird break down of communications, and someone is now DEAD and that's really unfortunate.

The only problem is that:

"There was no one else in the home outside of which the 19-year-old was shot so it's unclear how the 911 call was so botched."

There were eyewitnesses: 

"Richard Garcia, 34, didn't see the shooting but heard it and saw the woman being loaded onto a gurney by first responders afterward."

"I heard the shot, it went 'Boom!'" Garcia said.

"He said police officers were very aggressive in seeking potential witnesses who might have filmed or photographed the incident."

Imagine that.

Do you think that the aggressive pursuit of witnesses and their photographic evidence is to assist in the possible prosecution of trigger-happy, paramilitary police or to exonerate the officers or worse-to possibly tamper with evidence?

Why won't Toronto police release the suicide note of one of its officers? 

This is disgraceful:

"The grieving mother of a Toronto police officer who took his own life in March is still desperate to read the suicide note investigators are keeping secret from her five months later."

"Clinton Cibulis, a Toronto police constable at 14 Division, hanged himself at home on March 16, four days after his 34th birthday."

"It was a Sunday. He had been temporarily suspended from work on Friday, allegedly for harassing a female officer, according to his mother, Lynda Cibulis."

"In an interview with the Star, Cibulis said police at the scene of her son’s death seized his personal computer, his cellphone and the suicide note, none of which she has been allowed to see."

Why is this legal?

Today in Eurabian Judenhass, Dateline Amsterdam: Kugerplein, Again

Remember: "Never Again" is dead. 

In Amsterdam, one lone, brave Jewess makes a bold statement.

Do you know much about where she is making her statement? 

The article notes that she is a Mexican Jew living in Amsterdam. Imagine all the wandering that this one Jew has done, but is still, clearly not finished wandering. It's not as though Jews are indigenous to Mexico. Much wandering indeed.

"Leah Rabinovitch will probably not remain in Transvaalbuurt forever. It is too hostile there. Going to the supermarket and having to look over your shoulder constantly, fearing Muslim aggression, is not fun. If she moves, the neighborhood is again in the process of becoming Judenrein -- another step on our way to the multicultural paradise that awaits us all."

"There is not even any outrage."

Wishful Thinking: "Why Obama Is Driving Jews From the Democratic Party"

Seriously wishful thinking, dude. 

The reason that throngs of liberal Jews voted for Obama TWICE and continue to give money to the Democratic party in the US is because they are first liberals, and then ethnically Jews-or "just" Jews by birth.

Their religion is liberalism, but they sprinkle and tinkle little social justice code words into their trite monologues with a Yiddish accent to make people think that "social justice" = Judaism.

TIKUN OLAM!!! They screech!

ZZZZZZZZZZ

Whatever their little pet little cause is, if they say it with conviction, and with a moderately Jewish/Yiddish accent then it's JUDAISM (according to them)!

So, it matters not to these liberals (who happened to have been born Jewish) that America is pro-Hamas, and that basically in voting for Obama TWICE, they are supporting Hamas against Israel.

Their allegiance is to liberalism, extreme liberalism first-sadly, even when Israel is under existential threat.

Even when it's suicidal.

Yes-it's that bad.

A Brief Report on Our "L'Chaim to the IDF"

It was a very nice evening and a real success.

There were homemade falafel balls and homemade humus and lots of beer and wine and really, really nice people.

(Blog friends, synagogue friends, relatives, just a whole bunch of neat, smart, pro-Israel, funny, great people.)

Great conversations and lots of laughs were had by all.

We don't entertain that frequently, but when we do-it's really quite exhilarating and we're always glad we did.

A lot of my blog readers have made very generous contributions to this project so thank you.

In the next couple of days, my husband and I will figure out the best and most practical use of everything we raised and get it directly to Israel as soon as possible. We read an article today in the Hebrew press about a lone soldier who is still in hospital with very serious injuries, whose sister is basically his mom, because their parents are completely out of the picture (sounds like some kind of pretty bad dysfunctional situation). That might be a really good match, so we are going to get in touch with them and I will update.

We're also checking into a Shabbat dinner/food for families of injured soldiers, and specific items that injured soldiers still in hospital need.

Our former neighbour, who moved to Israel about 9 years ago has been visiting injured soldiers and their families and making tons of homemade cookies so we may loop her in as well.  I wish I could be there with her doing the same thing. She's a trooper.

As soon as we have the exact details, I will post about it. I'm really delighted that we could all pull this off, and will update you all in the next few days about bringing our L'Chaim to the IDF to complete fruition.

G-d bless you all and Shabbat Shalom.

Mann V Steyn Update: Mark Steyn, Writer, Human Rights Activist and TOAST-MAKER!

What a great article. I like ALL OF IT. 

"No wonder Mann (and his anonymous - but evidently very rich - backers) are fighting so hard to delay the process for as long as possible."

"If this ever goes to trial they're all toast."

So, I thought that was my favourite part until I re-read it, and now I have decided that I also like this part:

"This is what I've always found so thoroughly enjoyable about the global warming debate. It's not one of those issues where there's right and wrong on both sides and it's really a matter of opinion which one you favour. Quite simply it's a very straightforward battle between, on the one hand a bunch of lying, greedy shysters, fanatical, misanthropic, anti-capitalist eco-loons, bent, grant-troughing scientists, grubby politicians and despicable, rent-seeking millionaires and billionaires; and on the other a handful of brave, honest, rigorous, seekers-after-truth."

GAWD THAT IS A FANTASTIC PARAGRAPH!!!!

(I wonder what James Delingpole *really* feels about the climate debate weather...)

And, from my little perch over here, I am very encouraged so, so, so jealous of by Mark Steyn's new best friends.

Furthermore, I believe I resemble this remark:

"Six years ago, in my battles with Canada's "human rights" commissions, it was initially just me, Ezra Levant, Maclean's, and a handful of notorious fringe crazies."

"As I said to my boss at Maclean's, Ken Whyte, we could hold the big free-speech rally in the back of his Honda Civic. But the months went by, and eventually PEN Canada, the Canadian Committee for World Press Freedom, The Globe & Mail, The Toronto Star and the rest of the gang all got on board, leaving the Canadian Islamic Congress with no-one but Bernie Farber and a handful of other kinky state-censorship fetishists."


Must Read: Coming to Face With Judenhass in France (and Europe)

As Natan Sharansky said yesterday, we are witnessing the beginning of the end of European Jewry-yes, I know-for the second time.

You must read this whole essay. 

Even for someone like me, who reads about it all the time, and knows about it, and gets it-this article gave me a chill.

"A young black man with a Parisian accent told a dozen friends loudly, but without shouting, “OK, guys. Let’s go hunt some Jews.” 

"His friend answered, “Let’s break their heads.” To which the first speaker replied, “Catch them fast, kill them slow.”
"My shock stemmed from the fact that while anti-Semitic violence accounts for a fair share of my reporting here in Europe, I have personally been insulated from it — perhaps because I live in Holland, where such occurrences are rarer, or maybe because I had lived most of my life in Israel, where one receives only a theoretical understanding of the phenomenon."

"But for Alain, a freelance news photographer who specializes in documenting France’s anti-Semitism problem, this was just another day at the office. Which is to say he didn’t really have time for my astonished discovery of the banal."

OK, OK, welcome to Paris. Now let’s move it along,” he said as he took us on a shortcut designed to reach the station before the procession.

Meanwhile, Caroline Glick examines the Judenhaas world-wide. 

"In Sydney, Australia, Jewish families received a triple blow last week when Jewish children on a chartered school bus were assaulted by eight anti-Semitic drunken teenagers."

"The first shock was that their children, some as young as five, were terrorized on their school bus."

"The second shock was that the bus driver made an unscheduled stop to allow the anti-Semites to board the bus and harass the children."

"The third shock was that after catching six of the eight assailants, the police let them out of jail the same evening."

"Taken together, the incident revealed an obscene comfort level among Australian authorities with the terrorization of Jewish children. Jewish families cannot assume that their children will be protected by non-Jews, whether they are school bus drivers or the police."

The Jew stands alone.

Natan Sharansky Predicts "The Beginning of the End of European Jewry".

I also believe this to be the case.

The Jews who went back, or emigrated to Europe after the Holocaust are finding this a very bitter pill indeed to swallow.

But better to swallow a bitter pill and leave, to go live in Israel than to be six feet under in blood-soaked, Jew-hating Europe.

Ferguson Police on Black Youth Violence is the Fault of....Wait For It...DA JOOOOOOS!!

Outstanding, Poignant and A Must Read: "Sanctified Through Sacrifice-The Holiness of the IDF Uniform"

What a beautiful essay. 

"Seventy years ago, Jews were being gassed at Auschwitz and worked to death at Majdanek. Now, they put on the IDF uniform and proudly bear arms, fighting back against those who seek our destruction."

"These garments, which represented the revolution in Jewish existence that had taken place when we regained our sovereignty in 1948, the ones that only a moment ago had caused me to question some of my major life decisions, began to take on a new importance."

"The IDF uniform, such as the one I held in my hand, had restored our national pride and reinvigorated our collective sense of destiny. It symbolized the return of the Jewish people to the world stage, and the end of our dependence on the mercy of others, a tangible precursor to the Messianic era. "

This is also incredible:

"...there is an incident involving the late Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, head of the RIETS rabbinical school at New York’s Yeshiva University. Known as “the Rav,” he was a pivotal figure in American Orthodoxy."

"Once he was visited by a student who served in the IDF and whose job was cleaning and maintaining the tanks. Often his uniform would get dirty and he wanted to know if he needed to change his clothing before reciting the afternoon Minha prayer. The student explained that while it would be possible for him to do so, it would be difficult and very inconvenient."

"Astonished, the Rav looked at the student and said, “Why would you need to change? You are wearing bigdei kodesh, holy clothes.”

I could not agree more.

Mark Steyn on the Young Turks and Zany Dutch Muslim Politicians in Foxy Red Jackets Showing Cleavage

Must read!

Steyn starts in Europe and then goes east to Turkey, which itself-is going down the toilet.

"Look at Yasmina Haifi in the photograph at right - she's not a burqa-wreathed crone, but a modern western career woman in a foxy red jacket with just a hint of cleavage. And yet she cannot bear the truth about her religion and what is done in its name. So she takes refuge in the laziest conspiracy of all. In the Netherlands, an "extremist" Muslim supports Isis because it's chopping the heads off infidels, but a "moderate" Muslim opposes Isis because it's a Zionist front group."

(Ummm. HELLO?!???!?! )

("What am I, chopped liver," she sobs, tears flowing onto her keyboard.)

As Douglas Murray asked yesterday-how "integrated" is "integrated"? 

"This is the human capital with which the Netherlands has chosen to build its future."

Actually, this is the human capital that most of Europe has chosen and imported. Europe slaughtered its Jews and then replaced them with this. So, malheureusement (actually not really, I'm kind of schaedenfrudelicious about it) I must say:

Looks good on you, Europe. 

Furthermore Steyn notes:

"And, when it comes to entertaining even a very narrow criticism of what is done in Islam's name, a far larger number of people, invited to choose between criticizing Islam or embracing lunacy, find it easier, like Yasmina Haifi at the Dutch Ministry of Justice, to embrace lunacy. How many like-minded souls will have joined Yasmina in Dutch government service by 2020?"

(OH, I KNOW THE ANSWER!! PICK ME, MR. STEYN, PICK ME!! LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS)

"And there are no Kemal Atatürks in sight, only culturally craven prostration limbo-dancers like Bill Shorten. Absent any countervailing forces, continued mass Muslim immigration will lead to the death of France and the Netherlands, as those terms have any meaning."

"Look at it this way: There are three reactions to Isis among western Muslims - active support on the streets from the excitable young lads, deranged conspiracy theories from Yasmina Haifi, and utter deafening silence from everybody else. Suppose one of those youthful jihadists returns from Mosul and decides to decapitate a French Jew. Do you think that trio of reactions would be any different?

(OMG!! Classic Steyn. I'm horrified, but I'm laughing my head off, which is certainly better than having a head chopped off, of course. But I have this terrible feeling there is something seriously wrong with my sense of humour, or Steyn's-but what do I know? I'm just a lowly, infidel scribe, trolling the internet for chuckles and disgraceful stories of the decadent decline of Western civilization.)

Now excuse me while I go buy a foxy, red jacket sensible, red blazer!!!!!!


Your America Is Doomed, Egg-Freezing, Spinster, Anti-Family, Feminism is To Blame Story of the Day

Or perhaps of the century?

This is perhaps the most depressing thing I have read today-and there is LOTS of competition for that today.

Behold: NYC "career women" are having "egg-freezing" parties. 

Good Lord, this is depressing. It's not "liberating", it's wrong-headed and a perfect example of how badly feminism has failed women.

There is NO "career" that can substitute for the joy of having children. Not a single one. Instead of examining a hollow life, these women are trying to flip biology and human nature further on its head and complicit medical professionals are helping them to so, for profit.

This is terribly sad.

“The pressure is off, and I feel so empowered,” she said of her feelings after she socked away her eggs for a later date."

(Facts are irrelevant, of course. Just 'feelings' matter.) 

I can now concentrate on my career and becoming who I want to be before having children!”

This is also pathetic:

I want to take my fertility into my own hands, rather than put pressure on the person I have my next relationship with,” she said.

In the Face of Evil, What Can We Do?

I have been thinking a lot about evil-not just recently but for many years. And I think that one of the reasons why I hate the Anne Frank industry so much is because of the communist propulgated Lillian Helman myth/lie that Anne Frank said anything like "in spite of it all, I still believe people are good'.

She said no such thing.

And people are not set to "good" on their default setting.

Human beings are flawed, and with very little encouragement, can do horrible, evil, sick things.

We will never legislate that out of human nature, we-as humans, will never eliminate the evil inclination, the darkness that grows in the heart of man. Similarly, we (the Jews and our allies) can never "eliminate" antisemitism, not matter how much we (I mean the dopey, goo-headed, utopian Jews) "fight" it.

We can only fight the people and the empires and regimes that do evil. 

We can't eliminate it entirely from our midst.

Every good person has a duty to fight the battles that they can and not despair.

Not despairing is a victory over evil in and of itself. 

I get a lot of e-mails from people asking "what can we do".  It's funny, because I don't consider myself particularly expert on very many things, especially not fixing the world, but I am flattered that there are some people who think I have some good ideas. A few anyway.

So, having said that, I believe that there are two things that we can do.

One: we can do nothing.

Two: we can do something.

And we do both nothing and something at the same time.

When I say "we can do nothing" what I mean is unless you are the warrior, the actual individual soldier with the gun, you can do nothing. It is that individual soldier who is doing the something-the big something. The sacrificing his or her life something.

At the same time, we, too, can do something.

We can do a lot.

And that's why I always say hey people-do what you can, and not what you can't.

I will put out my short list of things we can do again because as I said, some people have been asking me. I'm glad I have this little perch that I can chirp from.

First of all, don't be afraid. 

This is such a huge something, and it is so liberating not to be afraid. Tell the truth. Speak your mind. Make those jokes, say what you mean and mean what you say.

Raise moral children.

Defend Judeo-Christian values without any hesitation.

Publicly. Vocally.

Every day. 

Support the people who fight and do good things for them and for the people who care for them.  Real things. Not necessarily big things. Make dinner. Babysit. Do laundry. Visit the wounded. Sing to them. Pray for them. Read to them.

Whatever you do in your professional life, or for fun, you can do for them. 

A haircut, a song. A ride. A letter. A boat ride.

Support Israel.

Where Israel and the Jews go, so goes the civilized world.

Buy Israeli.

Go to Israel, spend money in Israel.

Celebrate life and the culture of life.

Never despair.

Never give up. 






Must Read: Douglas Murray, Are "Integrated Muslims" Integrated?

This is a great essay. 

"It seems to have been the assumption of many involved in trying to prevent anti-Semitism in Europe that the problem of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic activism could be put down, among the Muslim communities, to a minority of radicalized people called "Islamists."

"These were recognized to be the sort involved in extremist groups, such as Hizb ut-Tahrir or similar groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood and its various Western front-groups. They were expected to be individuals who are highly politically and religiously motivated -- very possibly the same people who attend protests against American or any other Western military engagements in the world."

"But now, since Gaza, a terrible realization has begun to strike: that analysts may have been focusing on the tip of the iceberg while ignoring the vast immensities beneath."

Man Stabbed, In Critical Condition in Toronto After Accidentally Bumping into Muslim

"Paramedics were called to the scene at around 12:30 a.m on Wednesday and transported a male victim to hospital with life threatening stab wounds.  According to police, a confrontation started after the victim bumped into one of the two men while he was texting."

“Those men took exception and took it as a direct slight against them,” Const. Victor Kwong said Wednesday morning. “So they attacked the victim."

"Mohamed Ali, 27, has been arrested and charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault. Police are seeking one more suspect in connection with the stabbing..."

What could POSSIBLY be wrong with this:

"Scottish Jews are limiting contact with non-Jews to “to avoid aggressive attempts to draw them into arguments about the Middle East,” and university students report feeling unsafe on campuses."

Why Israel has been bragging about keeping the flow of humanitarian goods to Gaza has QUITE LITERALLY been keeping me up at night.

Then, a few nights ago a thought occurred to me and it's the only explanation that I can think of for why.

Why fund and supply the enemy that wants to destroy you?

The only thing I can think of is that sending "humanitarian" aid to the people who want to murder every last living Jew on the planet is some kind of way to deflect world pressure on Israel to open a port and airport in Gaza.

Does that make sense?

There is no other possible explanation for this kind of suicidal "humanitarian" activity.

However, this will fail as well. 

You can not buy off the world, and not appease your enemies with goods, money or good will.

Got It: Muslims in Europe, The Documentary By Zvi Yechezkeli and David Deryi

Well worth your time.

Watch all of the episodes.

Thanks to "R" for sending the link my way.


We're Doing It-L'Chaim to the IDF Night in Toronto, Thursday August 14th.

Alright, the husband and I are really doing it.

We're hosting an evening to raise money to have a thank you/R&R dinner at a restaurant-pub in Jerusalem for IDF combat soldiers, just to say thank you for defending our homeland and for them to know we are thinking of them-real people doing real things for real heroes.

I have already got one generous donor who has kicked in the starter money which we will use to get some drinks and light refreshments-we're keeping it modest to make sure the maximum funds get to the soldiers.

The funds will be sent directly to the host establishment, and my nephew-who thank G-d, got out of Gaza alive and well, will coordinate locally.

Whatever money we raise is going to go right to Israel, directly to the venue and every shekel will be spent on the soldiers from his unit and another nephew's unit. The more we raise, the more soldiers we will be able to host.

If it's successful, we'll do it again for another group of soldiers in another city.

This event is going to be held this Thursday evening at 7:30.

Please e-mail me directly (laurarosencohen-at-gmail.com) if you would like to attend and I will send you the address.

If you are not in Toronto, but would like to make a contribution please let me know.

Am Yisrael Chai!

The disgusting Judenhaas will be the ruin of Europe. 

And the idea that they put this display of Jew hatred on a train, well that is particularly odious.

Duh.

"The Jewish organization “has always stood up for Muslims in Germany,” he said.

“But solidarity from Muslims towards Jews remains missing.”

Remember, "sex education" = grooming.

Period.

Australia: Jewish Students "Bullied" Out of University Classes

Nothing to see here. 

They need to get organized and push back even harder.

What is going on in Australia lately?

I guess they are either losing their balls or are afraid their heads will be cut off?

Must Read Rex Murphy: How the Specious Concept of "Proportionality" Became Code for Israel Bashing

Gotta love Rex Murphy.

Read the whole thing.

"Israel, embattled from its birth, facing an implacable enemy (Hamas wants Israel eliminated from tip to toe), surrounded by terrorists who deplore its very existence, is asked to be subtle, to be precise, to hit the terrorists firing missiles from the vestibule of the mosque rather than the congregants who sit huddled 10 feet away."

"Which should expose the so-called doctrine of proportionality for what it is: a specious, meretricious conceit designed to tie the hands of armies that strike back against agressors — and, in particular, one army: Israel’s. With this one word, Zionism’s enemies seek to twist its legitimate self-defense into a war crime."

Steyn: You Want Nazis?

Here they are, the real "neo-Nazis".

Mark Steyn explains:

"Islam is king on a field of corpses."

"As much as Americans might wish it were so, this is not just a story of one bunch of obscure foreigners sticking it to another bunch of obscure foreigners. It's also a story of a dying superpower betraying its friends in retreat:"

Really, kudos to Hannity for going to Israel in person.

Good interview with PM Netanyahu here. 


Someone Needs to Translate Zvi Yechezkeli's Series on Islam From Hebrew to English-UPDATED

Hello internet?!?!

Someone has got to translate this series!

Arutz 10 in Israel really needs to get this into English. 

OMG!

Watched one part last night and it freaked me right out.

Now, there was nothing really that I didn't know already about Eurabia, but it's different when you see it and hear it-than when you read it.

There were so many excellent parts and interviews the episode that I watched (most galling was Anjem Choudary-just nauseating), but what upset me most was watching a clip from a Muslim woman who escaped brutal abuse and almost was "honour" murdered, and she vowed that if she survived, she would dedicate the rest of her life to helping other women escape the torture of their domestic enslavement. And she has lived up to that promise.

Yechezkeli (who speaks fluent Arabic), spoke to a Muslim woman and asked if she didn't feel safer being in Europe under her circumstances, with all the protections of the law in Europe, and the woman-who had been brutalized and is living in hiding, still fearing for her life, said "what Europe", she basically concluded that there is no more Europe. It was a startling moment of clarity.

I would urge Arutz 10 (or Mr. Yechezkeli himself) to subtitle this series into English.

It needs a much wider distribution.

(P.S And this is an important P.S-he's very easy on the eyes. Like EXTREMELY!)

DUH.

Another Great Example of Why Hate Speech Laws Are Not Necessary Or Desirable In A Civilized Society

An anti-Israel whackjob academic was Tweeting his little Jew-hating heart out, and he really, really had a case of the Judenhaas Cray Cray.

(You are free to peruse his musings here.)

Well, guess what?

His offer of employment got revoked.

When his venom was spewed all over social media, it cost him his job.

Why?

Not because the Jews control the world (if it were only so...).

Because civilized society rejects his attitudes.

No creepy thought-policing necessary. No insidious, tyrannical, "hate-speech" laws necessary.

This shows that individuals always have a choice. 

You can think what you want, and always make choices about in which particular fora you wish to share your point of view.

If you want to share your Jew-hating point of view nowadays, it's best probably to keep it to a closed list-serve, or really obscure academic journals that nobody really reads or cares about, and merely exist to perpetuate the phoney-baloney academic establishment.

(Or work for the New York Times, BBC-that sort of thing...)

If you are proudly public about your opinions, you have to absorb the risks and the consequences.

You can also choose to live a gutless, mute, silent life, never offering an opinion about anything and just plod along safely and cautiously until you die.

This, of course, goes for all political opinion from left to right.

In a free society, you are free to write the following:

"At this point, if Netanyahu appeared on TV with a necklace made from the teeth of Palestinian children, would anybody be surprised? #Gaza." Or this one: "By eagerly conflating Jewishness and Israel, Zionists are partly responsible when people say antisemitic shit in response to Israeli terror." Or this one: "Zionists, take responsibility: if your dream of an ethnocratic Israel is worth the murder of children, just fucking own it already."

And in a civilized society, you are also free to enjoy the ramifications.

And that's the way it should be.
