Pretty Ballsy Danish Move: Danish Editor Given National Award
"The Danish editor who commissioned the caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed that sparked international protests was awarded a prize by Denmark's national press club, AFP reported late Thursday."
"Flemming Rose was the culture editor of daily Jyllands-Posten in 2005 when he published 12 satirical cartoons of the Islamic prophet, triggering deadly protests in some Muslim countries.
The cartoons were also published in French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, where Islamist gunmen killed 12 people in January."
"For me, the debate I was drawn into almost 10 years ago by chance... is about tolerance and freedom," Rose said in a speech at the awards ceremony."
"Rose, 57, still lives under police protection because of death threats made against him."
Imagine ten years living in "protection" in your own country, among your own people because your government has betrayed you, and made it a death sentence to freely speak your mind and draw what you like and publish what you like. Imagine the thought of living that way until you die, in an artificial "security" bubble, where your life is in the hands of others, all the time. It's life, but a living nightmare.

Cute: Duchess Has A Giggle Fit During Formal Photo Op
Don't you wonder what the joke was?
Or did someone burp? Fart?
(Yes, I know I am immature, you don't have to tell me...)
The picture is very cute.
I really like Will and Catherine. Seem to be a very solid, lovely couple.

Eurabian And North American Judenhass Update
Guess what time it is?
Time to talk about how bad things are for Jews in Europe-again and throw in a sprinkle of North America and Israel while I'm at it.
Let's start in Paris.
My friends, we need to talk about Paris.
The Kosher grocery store re-opened. So there was a bit of solidarity shown publicly, with some whomever minister from the office of the whatever in France, talking about blah blah solidarity, blah blah, make France safe for all citizens, etc.. I like some elements of the idea of showing solidarity, but it bothers me that the re-opening of the store is somehow considered 'defiant' or a demonstration of solidarity with "life" (and that's what Jews are about-l'chaim means 'to life', that's our toast and that's the way we roll).
"Life is stronger than barbarity" seems trite in some ways especially coming from a French official, doesn't it? To me it seems like barbarity is winning in a lot of places. It's showing a lot more muscle and resolve than the "life" side right now.
The other thing that is really unsettling is that Jews just wanting to live and breathe isn't 'defiant'. How did we get from there to here?
If you live in a place where it's considered defiant, or uppity, for Jews to live, then you need to think about where you are living because it's not just about the Jews. It starts with us, but as history shows us, it never ends with us. Not ever.
So, let's review some other happenings in Europe, shall we?
Still in France: ISIS child executioner identified by classmates from France. This is very "French", non?
Actually, this is more idiotically French.
Who cares what people SAY? It's what they do. This is shameful. Let him say whatever the hell he wants about Jews. If he threatens Jews, or hurts them, then do something about it. Liberal Jews, of course, will celebrate this as a great victory over antisemitism ("fighting antisemitism"), but it's stupid and tyrannical and is "proof" to already suspicious Jew-haters that Jews control the media/country/world.
Why put gas on that flame? Why not just starve it of oxygen instead?
In Sweden, mourning Jews harassed at Jewish cemetery.
Demands for Jewish guards at European Jewish sites skyrockets after France and Denmark attacks.
The pathetic "conservative" David Cameron provides band-aid to Jewish community.
In Poland, more memorials relating to dead Jews.
In Germany: Jews advised to stop looking so Jewy, especially in Muslim neighbourhoods.
Jews in Britain also try not to look so Jewy, so as not to be seen looking for trouble.
Jews in the Baltics not faring much better.
Jew attacked wearing Star of David, in Austria.
And Europeans, instead of actually, you know-dealing with the "root cause", prepare to bury the problem in bureaucracy.
But the worst, worst, worst of them all right now, is the "Danes form human ring around synagogue" story.
Screw this.
I am so sick of seeing people get all weepy about this all over social media. It makes me puke. Seriously, I puke on you.
("So beautiful/hopeful/lovely/wonderful..." zzzzzzz...)
This is post-facto, photo-op/selfie selfish, moral preening disguised and packaged as 'concern'.
This "concern" is a one-time photo op about a DEAD Jew.
There is nothing in here that respects either the dead, or the living Jews.
So please, unless you are concerned about living Jews, please do not "circle around" any synagogues. Feh. Seriously. I will respect you if you do stuff for the living ones, and on our behalves.
I will award no Jew points for any slacktivism on behalf of dead Jews. Save that sh&t for Facebook and stuff.
Have your people call my people if you are interested in us living ones.
Meanwhile, in North America:
Obama official to address Jew-Hating Jew Group.
Most hate crimes in Toronto target Jews.
Official Jews pissed that Justin Trudeau calls Muslims the new Jews. And if that's the case, according to Trudeaupian logic, who are the new Nazis? Why is nobody asking that? Too painful?
Nothing to see here, either.
Interestingly, and perhaps insanely, my optimism about Israel and the Jews remains eternal.
It was a good week for the free world, a bad week for the Israeli left and Israel haters, and this is a remarkably interesting development as well.
A while back, I read an article that discussed the Har Nof terrorist massacre. Responding to this image, a lot of religious Jews called for a doubling up of wearing Tefilin (phylacteries, pictured here on the arm) to honour the dead (and other good deeds and mitzvot).
That's a good plan.
But the complimentary plan, my plan and theory, is that in response to seeing a blood soaked, hacked off Jewish arm, we need strong, smart, effective weapons-and lots of them-in the hands of Jewish soldiers, security professionals and leaders (both spiritual and political).
A confirmation of that need and the embrace by Israelis of my theory can be found in the results of this week's Israeli elections.

Starbucks Becomes The Brand That Personifies The Road to Hell
Paved with "good intentions".
Starbuck's is doubling down on their moronic race preening initiative, instead of, you know-making and serving terrible, expensive, truly shitty-tastingcoffee sugar with a few drops of coffee in cups with pretentious-sounding fake-Italian names.
"Schultz defended the campaign on the stage, saying it’s not a marketing exercise."
“There will be some in the media that criticize Starbucks for having an agenda,” he said.
“Our intentions are pure.”
If I want a lecture on something excruciatingly painful, emotionally tormenting and exhausting I HAVE A MOTHER FOR THAT.

Israel's Left Lives in A Bubble
The same, of course can be said about other countries.
"The leftists enhance each other in conversations at cafés and restaurants, in the Tel Aviv salons, in cinematheques and different cultural clubs. The people living outside Tel Aviv and the Jerusalem Cinematheque, outside the academia and the newspaper and television's news desks have completely different views. "
"The left likes to withdraw into itself, to hold internal discussions, to engage in internal quarrels, and shows contempt and disregard towards the voice of "Masuda from Sderot." [Ed.note: a typically Sephardic name from a working class, peripheral town bordering Gaza.]
"But the thing is that in one day of elections, the vote of Masuda from Sderot equals the vote of the president of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. It's the same opportunity, it's the same envelop – only the vote is different."
UPDATE:
Election scapegoat located.
UDATE 2:
Netanyahu's Win, Obama's Loss
"Many Americans are disturbed by the Netanyahu–Obama animosity, and for good reason. In part, it is because they worry what it portends for Israel, which needs allies. But it also reminds them that they lack a leader who has a clear-eyed view of evil and understands peace through strength. Israel reelected a man like that; we will have to wait a little longer to elect our own."

Steyn: The James Taylor Doctrine
Now this is allegedly a Steyn essay about jihad, Islam, America becoming treacherous, etc...blah blah zzzzzzz so tired of 24/7 war, tyranny here and all that jihad stuff "at the other end of the ummah" (HAHAHAHAHAHAA).
But, because of SEEKRIT JOOOISH MINDWAVE POWER TOOLZ, it's actually about Jews! I know, right? Steyn and Jews-can you imagine?!?
I just about fell off my chair at this anecdote:
"Well, each to his own, but I would doubt either Michael Carr or Jimmy Kennedy had ever knowingly heard a mariachi band at the time they wrote "South Of The Border". I'm minded to modify Jerome Kern's line to Oscar Hammerstein when they were adapting Donn Byrne's life of Marco Polo for Broadway."
"Here's a story laid in China about an Italian and told by an Irishman," said Hammerstein."
"What kind of music are you going to write?"
"Don't worry," replied Kern.
"It'll be good Jewish music."
OH MAH GAWD DAT'S SOME FUNNNNNNAYYYYY!
Also, I have to say that I hate Steyn for putting that Rupert the Bear ear worm song into my brain this morning. I guess it's like reverse SEEKRIT JOOO MINDWAVE POWERZZ. But when I say 'I hate Steyn', what I really mean is-I lovehim err...rather IT.
I LOVE IT.
Funny stuff!!!
Exit question:
Why has Rupert the Bear bought into the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" meme?
Even the Washington Post says it's B.S.

The Death of Free Speech on College Campuses
The First Amendment is on life support on American campuses.
Just Sayin...
I congratulate PM Netanyahu on his election results. We look fwd to working w/ the gov't once formed. Israel has no greater friend than Cda.
— Stephen Harper (@pmharper) March 18, 2015Must Read: "Peace, the Grand Delusion"
This is quite a magnificent essay by the very brave, very smart American activist Chloe Valdary who I respect and admire.
Read the whole thing:
"In 2015, the Jewish community is at a crossroads. Jews are being mowed down in the streets of Europe. Students are being intimidated on college campuses. Jewish-owned businesses and homes are being vandalized. The indigenous status of Jews in their homeland is either callously trivialized or completely denied by prominent voices in the media and elsewhere, including in academia and the United Nations. The 21st century is beginning to feel all too much like the torment of the 1930s and ’40s."
"Yet, we pledged to ourselves, “Never again.”
"This is not merely an adage—it is a demand. The time has come to ensure that the demand is met.
We must draw on our courage and have the audacity to force those who humiliate and threaten us to pay a price. Peace—if it means that we must lie down and be denigrated and even slaughtered while our enemies cheer, is not only wrong—it is evil."
"How many more supermarkets will be attacked before we rise? How many more synagogues, schools, and homes will be assailed? How many more innocent Jews will be slaughtered while praying, or pelted with rocks while driving home?"
"Will we silently submit to these injustices unfolding around us? Will we be satisfied with telling ourselves that we have a higher moral claim because we want “peace?”
