More from the ADL demonstration
Here is that same blogger again attempting to explain reality to leftists. One wonders if this is where the expression, ’tilting at windmills’ comes from. This video makes me think of two things.
1. If Mel Gibson had a not-evil twin, this would be him.
2. “If Fascism ever comes to America I don’t know what it will look like, but they will call themselves ‘anti fascists'”
Certainly this fine bloggers opponents are the new fascism and supporters of genocide.
Thousands gather at Israeli embassy in Cairo. Hundreds attempt to storm it.
From Al Jazeera:
At least 120 people were injured after Egyptian security forces fired tear gas and rubber coated steel bullets at pro-Palestinian protesters who were trying to storm the Israeli embassy in Cairo.
Thousands of protesters had massed outside of the embassy in the capital on Sunday to commemorate the 63rd anniversary of the “Nakba” or “catastrophe” – the day Israel declared its independence and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes.
Witnesses said a group of demonstrators later tried to storm the entrance of the embassy. Police used rubber coated steel bullets and tear gas to disperse the crowd. At least 20 people were arrested.
Al Jazeera’s Rob Gilles, who was at the scene, said that some protesters responded by burning tires in the middle of the road and throwing stones.
“The security forces have made a charge outside the embassy to clear the street in front of it and most of the protesters are being forced back,” he said.
‘Determined protesters’
“They’ve sealed off the main area into it but there is still a determined presence here, they are determined not to move, spurred on by the images they’ve seen of the Nakba protests in other parts of the Middle East.
“We’ve seen a few people laid out on the floor mainly suffering from gas inhalation more than anything else.”
Activists had earlier called for marches to start on Sunday to reach the Rafah border crossing between Israel and Egypt.
The incident followed the visit to Egypt by a senior Israeli defence ministry official – the first trip by a top Israeli official since a popular uprising toppled former president Hosni Mubarak in February.
Amos Gilad was to hold talks with several Egyptian officials “to discuss the latest developments in the region, in light of the Palestinian reconciliation agreement”, MENA, Egypt’s state news agency reported on Sunday.
Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal ended a four-year feud at a reconciliation ceremony in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, earlier this month, which Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu termed “a tremendous blow to peace”.
The long-awaited accord, inked by the two rivals among 13 factions, aims to put a stop to the animosity which has split the Palestinian territories into opposing camps since 2007.
The agreement envisages Hamas and Fatah working to put together an interim government of candidates who are unaffiliated with either faction, who would govern until presidential and legislative elections within a year.
Had There Been No War, There Would Be No Nakba.
From Myths and Facts.orgMay 15, 2011 | Eli E. Hertz |
Starting a civil war in 1947 after the Arabs rejected the United Nations Partition Plan, Palestinian Arabs became belligerents in the conflict. Rather than accept a Jewish state after five-and-a-half months of warfare, Palestinian Arabs called upon their brethren from seven surrounding countries to invade and crush the nascent Jewish state.
The Arab League’s April 10, 1948 decision to invade on May 14 to “save Palestine,”as the British Mandate ended, marked a watershed event, for it changed the rules of the conflict. Accordingly, Israel bears no moral responsibility for deliberately banishing Palestinian Arabs in order to “consolidate defense arrangements” in strategic areas, as the Jewish people organized to battle seven well-equipped and well-trained aggressor armies. With the pending invasion following Israel’s declaration of independence, it is no exaggeration to say the new Jewish state’s very existence hung in the balance.
The new Jewish state found it imperative to eliminate all potential pockets of Arab resistance in key areas if it was to survive. Dislodging all Arab inhabitants from sensitive areas in proximity to Jewish settlements, establishing territorial continuity between blocs under Jewish control, and ensuring control of key transportation arteries were a military necessity. As May 14 approached, Israel could not afford to risk a Fifth Column at its rear to add to all other aspects of its militarily inferior situation. The cost of defeat was hammered home by a stream of dire warnings from Arab capitals, with perhaps the most chilling for Israel coming from Jamal Al-Husayni as vice-chairman of the Arab Higher Committee [AHC], who publicly declared:
“The Arabs have taken into their own hands, the Final Solution of the Jewish problem. The problem will be solved only in blood and fire. The Jews will be driven out.” Continue Reading →
CHILDREN SHOUTING ALLAHU AKBAR AT ISRAELI BORDER POLICE
THE POISONING OF THE ARAB MIND STARTS YOUNG.
Jameel at the Muqata who forwards the following video taken yesterday at Silwan which is an Arab area adjacent from the Old City of J’lem, writes:
“Young children who are taught to scream the Islamic war-cry “Alla Hu Akbar” at Border Policemen who are trying to prevent a riot from going out of control speaks mountains about the Palestinian Naqba against Israel. Anyone who thinks that Islam isn’t playing a dominant role is simply fooling themselves.”
The Case for Isreal
I very much hope that the good David Horowitz is not too upset with me for what I am going to do here.
The film, ‘The Case for Israel’, is a critical component today in the war of propaganda Vs. information with respect to the nature of the state of Israel, and as a totem, the people identified as Jews world wide since so much anti-Israel rhetoric is really nothing more than ‘onion paper antisemitism.’
Please watch this excellent film and send the link around. If the people who made this film want it down, it will go down. But after having read today’s emails and articles, I feel the situation has become so dire that every tool that I can use to counter the spin of the Muslims and leftists who would attempt to de-legitimize the Jewish state, and far more often than not, attempt to cast aspersion onto anyone who can be identified as Jewish using reasons that would apply for more accurately to for example, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia or even Egypt and parts of Saudi Arabia itself, must be used.

Norways new culture of antisemitism
This article caught my eye because of something a long time friend of mine told me. He works at a very fashionable bar in Ottawa where lots of the beautiful people go. He told me that a really hot girl from Norway comes into the bar who studies at a local university and she is looking forward to graduating and going back to Norway where she can teach antisemitism. Actually formally teach it. That is her ambition. I filed that in my ‘isolated but concerning incidents’ file and then read the following article, part of which is reproduced here and the rest needs to be accessed by clicking here:
Bruce Bawer will be coming to speak in Ottawa within a few months by the way. Please keep an eye on Vlad for the update on when and where. Should be a great evening as it was last time.
Jewish Bullies and Muslim Victims: Norway’s Anti-Semitic Culture

Norway is quickly becoming one of the world’s leading capitals of Jew-hatred.
Pro-Israel author Bruce Bawer says his adopted homeland has willingly opened its arms to embrace Islamic terrorists. And there is a reason for this ideology of hate—radical leftism has a historical stranglehold on Norwegians.
Bawer describes Norway’s anti-Semitism to The Jerusalem Post:
It’s a phenomenon of a sort that I never encountered in all my years in the US, and that I once thought had been banished to the dustbin of history. It’s most virulent among the cultural elite—the academics, intellectuals, writers, journalists, politicians, and technocrats.
They’re overwhelmingly on the left, and intensely hostile to the West, to capitalism, to the US and to Israel. Before the fall of the USSR, an extraordinary percentage of them were Communists. They have replaced their affinity to the Soviet Union with sympathy for the great totalitarian ideology of our time: Islamism. Thus they romanticize Palestinians and despise Israel.
Part of the motivation for this anti-Semitism is the influx into Norway in recent decades of masses of Muslims from Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia and elsewhere. Multiculturalism has taught Norway’s cultural elite to take an uncritical, even obsequious, posture toward every aspect of Muslim culture and belief. When Muslim leaders rant against Israel and the Jews, the reflexive response of the multiculturalist elite is to join them in their rantings. This is called solidarity.
Bawer told The Post Norway turned its back on Jews during the Nazi occupation. Although the country allied with America and Israel afterward, Norwegians as a whole never held any fondness for Jews. Since World War II, the county’s radical leftists have indoctrinated Jew hatred into students.
To advance their agenda, pro-Israel speakers are banned from Norwegian universities; Norwegians are taught to define Jews as the “bully” and Muslims as the “victim.” Any Norwegian with the audacity to show support for Israel, defend Jews, and even consider Islamic terror evil, is disregarded and shunned at institutions of higher learning. Only anti-Semitic “critics of Israel, apologists for terrorism, hard-line Islamists and relativizers of the Holocaust” are welcome on Norwegian campuses.

Turkey’s Cautionary Tale
From Carolyn Glick’s website:
Today’s Turkey is a cautionary tale for the West. But Western leaders are loath to consider its lessons.
Ever since Turkey’s Islamist Justice and Development AKP party under Recip Tayip Erdogan won the November 2002 elections, Western officials have upheld the AKP, Erdogan and his colleagues as proof that political Islam is consonant with democratic values. During Erdogan’s June 2005 visit to the White House, for instance, then-president George W. Bush praised Turkish democracy as “an important example for the people in the broader Middle East.”
Unfortunately, nine years into the AKP’s “democratic” regime it is clear that Erdogan and his colleagues’ embrace of the language and tools of democracy was a mile wide and an inch thick. They used democracy to gain power. Now that they have power, they are systematically destroying freedom in their country.
Turkey ranks 138th in the international media freedom group Reporters Sans Frontieres country index on press freedom. Sixty-eight journalists are languishing in Turkish jails for the crime of doing their job. The most recent round-up of reporters occurred in early March. And it is demonstrative of Turkey’s Islamist leaders’ exploitation of democratic freedoms in the service of their tyrannical ends.

Protocol at Lakemba
Andrew Bolt The Herald Sun
Monday, April 11, 2011 at 09:36am
Not reassuring at all in dispelling “myths”:
A MOSQUE in western Sydney was selling copies of the inflammatory anti-Semitic book The Protocols of the Elders of Zion on the same weekend it opened its doors to the wider community to dispel some of the myths surrounding Islam.
The bookstall on the ground floor of the Lakemba Mosque had in stock about 15 bright-pink paperback editions of The Protocols for sale for $8.
The Protocols is a hoax document first published in Russia in 1903 that purports to be an account of a meeting of Jewish leaders discussing plans for economic world domination. The books were for sale in a small makeshift bookshop lined with ornate copies of the Koran in a room off a car park underneath the mosque.
On a large table in the middle of the room was a jumble sale of books ranging from early childhood education to cookbooks, including a couple of stacks of The Protocols among the piles of Islamic literature.
When asked by The Australian why the mosque was selling The Protocols, the bookshop volunteer hurriedly grabbed the books and said he would take them off the table. “We’re not racist. I don’t want any trouble,’’ he said. “I can’t read, I don’t read the books, I don’t know what’s in them. I don’t decide what books are chosen.’’

Tel Aviv neighbourhood rises up against illegal immigration and govt policy
I post this because on my youtube channel I face many antisemites each day ranging from the full knuckle draggers to the ones that actually mix some rational fact with their Jew-hatred. One of the common memes being spread by the more knuckle dragging variety is that Jews across the world are attempting to force tons of Muslim immigration into Europe somehow, while keeping Israel ‘pure’ in some unfathomable manner. Unfathomable at least to me as Jews range from Chinese, Ethiopian, White American etc.
Let’s assume that they mean Israel is kept ‘Pure Jewish’ (whatever that means) and escapes the mass migration of people from failing states to Western style democratic ones where there is wealth and human rights. Then this video should be revealing to them. But it won’t be. Jew Hate is not rational. I have never encountered an antisemite that hates Jews because of some belief oriented issue or even a behaviour based one. They invent reason to hate Jews usually projecting the worst attributes of humanity as a whole onto ‘Jews’ in an invasion of the body snatchers like way, and hope perhaps to expunge themselves and humanity of those attributes by killing Jews. In any case, it rarely if ever deals with any facts.
New trends in antisemitism
Obama calls Pastor Jones burning of the Koran “An act of extreme bigotry and intolerance” yet says nothing about this common view on state TV in many Muslim nations. Nations like Egypt where the US pays 100% of the cost of the military.
New Trends in Arabic Anti-semitism from Henrik Clausen on Vimeo.
WW2 was about leftists committing a genocide of the Jews with Muslim help. WW 4, which has been going on for years now, will be about another attempted genocide of the Jews but by Muslims with Leftist help. Don’t believe me? Ask any Norwegian university student what the prevailing view is at school. Or frankly in any other university in the Western world today.
Goldstone Mea Culpa: Chickens Come to Roost at Leftist Nest
From Arutz Sheva
“If I had known then what I know now,” Judge Richard Goldstone wrote on Friday in The Washington Post. “The Goldstone Report would have been a different document.”
“While the investigations published by the Israeli military and recognized in the U.N. committee’s report have established the validity of some incidents that we investigated in cases involving individual soldiers, they also indicate that civilians were not intentionally targeted as a matter of policy,” Goldstone wrote.
The comment marks the recanting by Goldstone, who chaired the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, of charges that Israel deliberately targeted civilians during Operation Cast Lead. The operation, which commenced on 27 December 2008 and concluded on 18 January 2009, was aimed at stopping terrorist rocket and mortar attacks on Israeli civilians in southern Israel. Most military observers regard the operation as having had only limited, short-term success. Continue Reading →
More Leftist-Islamist intimidation at a lecture in the University of Quebec in Montreal
Thanks to Missglulu who sent me the original link at David Ouellette’s site for this. Once again we see the marriage between Islam and leftism giving birth to the rabid baby of antisemitism, this time in Montreal. Click over to David’s site for the whole story in French but I will try and update it here in English as I can.
The group who organized this particular disruption is ‘Quebec Solidarity’, a group Amir Khadir is involved with and may have helped create. The same Amir Khadir who often leads the protests outside of a Montreal Shoe store because they sell, among other kinds, one brand of shoe made in Israel. I might add, this shoe store is actually in his own riding as a member of the Quebec legislature. Talk about ‘representing’.
Egypt Air wipes Israel off the map – a sign of where Egypt could be headed
H/T AA
From The Telegraph:

Israel has quietly dropped off Egypt Air’s route map this week.
The airline’s explanation is that “flights to Tel Aviv are operated by Air Sinai, which is a separate company.” It explains that “our website exclusively show destinations to which our own EA flights travel to.”
I’ve been unable to find a phone number, website or postal address for Air Sinai. That’s because it doesn’t seem to exist. Wikipedia states it “ceased airline operations in its own right in 2002 and operates as a ‘paper airline’ for its parent company, Egypt Air.”
Like a fair few other people, I suspect, I’m wondering if this is a sign of things to come in the Egypt-Israel relationship, because of the growing influence of people who would like to see Israel erased from maps, not just route maps.
Egyptians who backed the movement against Hosni Mubarak, the country’s unlamented former ruler, are beginning to realise that the revolution they sacrificed so much for isn’t headed quite where they’d expected.
Earlier this month, more than three-quarters of Egyptian voters backed constitutional amendments which will facilitate the early election of a new parliament and new president. This gives the Muslim Brotherhood, the country’s best-organised and largest political force, an advantage: its opponents just haven’t had time to get their act together. Continue Reading →
