Excellent example of Islamic word games and making marionettes out of leftists

Posted on by

Posting has been light today because I was working on this one post. The clip at the bottom took a great deal of time. I felt it was worth it when I watched the Muslims leading the demonstration in the clip at the top, turn it from a peace rally, to a distinctly different one.

Watch the chants on this protest for peace. Notice how it starts out demanding an end to war and for peace and so on, then changes rather quickly to, “no peace without justice”, a common Islamic rhetorical device. As most in the west do not realize that Muslims redefine common terms to suit their purpose, while knowing full well we non-Muslims are understanding something fundamentally different when we hear that term, (think ‘marriage’ just for one example) I thought it might be useful to explain what Muslims mean by the term, ‘justice’.

Below, some clips from two very important documentaries, Farewell Israel, and Atomic Jihad. I have grabbed a few clips that attempt to explain the Islamic concept of ‘justice’ which have about as much to do with a Western concept of justice as womens rights do in Afghanistan vs. USA

Cameron speaks out hard against Israel

Not content to merely demand that Turkey be admitted to the European Union, British Prime Minister Cameron spoke harsh and rather untrue words about the state of Israel today in Turkey..

British Prime Minister in Turkey takes out hard against Israel

by Jeroen Langelaar [translation by VH]

The British Prime Minister David Cameron during his visit to Ankara, the capital of Turkey, lashed out hard at Israel. He for instance compared the situation in the Gaza Strip with that of a “prison camp”. Cameron’s speech however, was full of praise for Turkey and the Turkish-British relations.

He promised to commit himself “passionately” to Turkey’s accession to the EU. Accession is according to the Conservative leader “vital to our economy, vital to our security and vital to our diplomacy.”

Cameron also took the opportunity to bash Israel. The British government leader called the actions of the Israeli Navy against a boat with Gaza activists in late May — in which nine people were killed — “unacceptable” and demanded a further exhaustive investigation into the incident.

He also compared the situation in the Gaza Strip with that of a “prison camp”. “Let me be clear that the situation in Gaza must change,” Cameron said. “Humanitarian goods and people must in both directions be able to cross the border. Gaza can not and should not be a prison camp.” He did not mention Hamas.

Cameron did call though, for both Turkey as well as Israel, not let water down the friendship between the two states, which recently had been marred.

Ron Prosor, the Israeli ambassador to Britain, finds the statements of Cameron inappropriate. “People in Gaza are prisoners of the terrorist organization Hamas,” said Prosor. “The situation there is a direct result of Hamas’ rules and priorities.”

{[note from translator VH: no mentioning by Cameron of Gilad Shalit, who today is 1493 days hostage of Hamas — VH]

Khaled Abu Toameh: The Palestinian victims no one talks about

Posted on by

NATIONALPOST… When was the last time the United Nations Security Council met to condemn an Arab government for its mistreatment of Palestinians?

How come groups and individuals on university campuses in the United States and Canada that call themselves “pro-Palestinian” remain silent when Jordan revokes the citizenship of thousands of Palestinians?

The plight of Palestinians living in Arab countries in general, and Lebanon in particular, is one that is often ignored by the mainstream media in West.

How come they turn a blind eye to the fact that Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and many more Arab countries continue to impose severe travel restrictions on Palestinians?

And where do these groups and individuals stand regarding the current debate in Lebanon about whether to grant Palestinians long-denied basic rights, including employment, social security and medical care?

Or have they not heard about this debate at all? Probably not, since the case has failed to draw the attention of most Middle East correspondents and commentators.

A news story on the Palestinians that does not include an anti-Israel angle rarely makes it to the front pages of Western newspapers. Continue Reading →

CBN holds pro Israel rally.

I think this is what is called, ‘A mixed blessing’. On the one hand, it is fantastic to see such an open show of support for the state of Israel from the US and under an Obama administration as well. However, when it is evangelical Christians one wonders how many of them support it for the same reason Lord Balfour did. That they want to see biblical prophesy fulfilled, the Jews return to Zion, and then lose it as a precursor to the return of the Christian avatar and the hastening of the end of the world. Something it seems many religions hold in common, and oddly, also desire. I guess religious people have really high utility bills or something. Anyway here is the video and frankly, I am happy as hell to see it. CBN continues to  report on important material which the rest of the media pretend does not exist.

‘Israel is world’s most isolated country’

Posted on by

From UN Watch with original article at Jerusalem  Post:


Jordana Horn
The Jerusalem Post
July 21, 2010

Outgoing Ambassador to the UN Gabriella Shalev told American journalists on Monday that Israel is “the most isolated, lonely country in the world,” and that the biggest threat to its existence is not Iranian nuclear proliferation, but international attempts to delegitimize it.

Shalev told an Israel Project luncheon in Washington that threats to Israel’s right to defend itself constitute the “first challenge” of the Jewish state, according to The Washington Times.

Shalev cited Iran and tensions with the Palestinians as other significant problems, but particularly highlighted the international community’s actions toward Israel as being potentially detrimental to the country’s future.

She specifically cited European court prosecutions of Israeli officials for alleged human rights offenses and UN efforts to single out Israeli conduct for reprimand.

Shalev said that as sanctions resolutions at the UN put international pressure on Iran, Israel’s biggest threat is now those who question the Jewish state’s right to exist and defend itself, the Washington Times reported. Continue Reading →

Amazing color footage of formation of Israel found

Posted on by

As well as footage of the Zyklon B gas and crematoriums at Auschwitz

http://www.blip.tv/file/2915188

This is footage taken by a wealthy Bostonian  who bought one of the only privately owned portable colour movie cameras in the 1940’s & 50’s and travelled to Israel to record the historical formation of the state in
colour.

The footage was then stored in a Boston attic and forgotten about. Recently, as the grandkids were cleaning up the house for sale they found the lost films and called an friend who was an Israeli director.

According to the below clip, the director couldn’t believe his eyes, They
are working on a huge documentary, but the below clips show several minutes of right before, during and right after Israel was formed – *IN COLOR*, including images of a very young Peres, Rabin, Golda, Tabenkin (head of the Palmach), British Mandate soldiers walking the streets of Jerusalem .. etc.

Hizbullah takes over South Lebanon.

From the IDF web site. This is quite disturbing.

The following declassified intelligence maps as well as the 3D animated clip illustrate how Hezbollah, in the four years since the Second Lebanon War, has turned over 100 villages in South Lebanon into military bases. These maps and the 3D clip illustrate how Hezbollah stores their weapons near schools, hospitals, and residential buildings in the village of al-Khiam. They follow similar tactics in villages across southern Lebanon, essentially using the residents as human shields, in gross violation of UN Resolution 1701. al-Khiam was used as a rocket launching site during the Second Lebanon war.

During the Second Lebanon war, Hezbollah stored their weapons in open areas for the most part, which enabled the IDF to locate and destroy their stores. In the four years since then, Hezbollah has pursued a tactic of moving their weapons into civilian villages, essentially institutionalizing the tactic of using human shields on a large scale.

(For the Scribd slide show please visit the link at the top)



In an incident on 12 October 2009, there was an explosion at a Hezbollah weapons storehouse in the village of Tayr Filsay. Aerial footage, taken shortly after the explosion, shows Hezbollah operatives closing down the area around the warehouse, driving in two trucks and removing weaponry from the site. They then took the weapons to a known weapons storage facility in the center of the village of Dir a-Nahar about four kilometers away. Only after Hezbollah removed the weaponry did they allow UNIFIL and the Lebanese Army to enter the site of the explosion.

From Stratfor:

July 7, 2010
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Northern Command declassified visual evidence of Hezbollah’s buildup in nearly 200 southern Lebanese villages, The Jerusalem Post reported July 7. An IDF delegation was sent to show the evidence to the United Nations and the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon. The IDF estimates there are around 20,000 Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon. A senior IDF source said there has been no indication that Syria, Lebanon or Hezbollah plan to attack Israel, Voice of Israel reported. The unnamed official added that he had no information suggesting that Syria had acquired an advanced radar system.

Much ado about ‘note-ing’.

A few Israeli soldiers are apparently in deep trouble because of this video clip:

As I understand it, the soldiers actually did this dance to the Muslim caterwaul to prayer. Frankly I think they should get a medal. Mocking irrational religion, especially when it is forced on everyone else, should be rewarded.

IDF sends gear to Saudi for possible Iranian strike?

Reports: IAF Landed at Saudi Base, US Troops near Iran Border

Israel National News:

Follow Israel news on Twitter and Facebook.

The Israeli Air Force recently unloaded military equipment at a Saudi Arabia base, a semi-official Iranian news agency claimed Wednesday, while a large American force has massed in Azerbaijan, which is on the northwest border of Iran.

Both reports follow by less than a week the Pentagon’s confirmation that an unusually large American fleet sailed through the Suez Canal Saturday. Several reports stated that an Israeli ship joined the armada.

The Pentagon played down the news, saying the American maneuvers were routine. However, a report by Iran on Wednesday that it has enriched dozens of pounds of 17 per cent enriched uranium serves as a reminder that time is running out to stop Iran from being able to produce a nuclear weapon.

Iran’s Fars News Agency said the Israeli military aircraft landed 10 days ago at the Saudi base near the city of Tabuk, located in northwest Saudi Arabia, one of the closest areas in the oil kingdom to Iran.

Fars said that the Tabuk base will be the central station for an Israeli attack on Iran. It quoted an Islamic news site that a commercial airline passenger said the airport in Tabuk was closed to all other traffic during the alleged Israeli landings. The passenger said that “no reasonable explanation” was given for shutting down the airport and those passengers were compensated financially and booked in four-star hotels. Continue Reading →

UN Watch busts the HRC again.

If there is an upside, and really no there isn’t, if Israel is demonized constantly in this manner one might argue it writes them a blank check to act should they actually decide to. What’s that expression? ‘I done the time I may as well do the crime?’

However this isn’t the case as we saw when Israel attempted to stop a terrorist setup which planned to block the legal blockade of Gaza, and Israel defended herself with paint-ball guns initially. So in fact, no, there is no moral credit for being accused of crimes constantly that one has not committed. Where genuine Jew-hate exists, and a planned de-legitimization of the state of Israel is carried out institutionally at the highest levels and by governing bodies that carry moral authority by reputation if not by deed, then there really isn’t much Israel can do.

Eeyore for Vlad.

By the way guys. Some of you have offered to help support Vlad-Tepes in the past and I thank you very much for that offer. If you still feel that way, click on over to UN-Watch and donate $20.00 USD to them. I think that would be putting your money to fantastic use.
