Clinton as Barnum: There's a Jewish sucker voting in every election.

Excerpted from BBC TV: THE CLINTON INTERVIEW: A PANORAMA SPECIAL [with David Dimbleby]

[Clinton]There is no deal to be made there by America or any other country unless Israel believes the interlocutor has as a bottom line condition the continued survival of the State of Israel; so yes, I do, I think President Bush can make some progress. I think after the next election, whoever wins will be able to make some progress but I think that also we have to fight for the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinians.

I think the trick is to do both and you can do both as long as the Israelis believe you're going to be there for their survival. I mean look at all the things I ask them to accept, you know, the de facto 97% of the West Bank as a state, all of the, the Temple Mount and the East Jerusalem and half the old city as Al Quds, the Palestinian capital. [yes, all non-plain formatting is JP's...]

Bill Clinton, "the first Arab president!"

NOT ONE WORD ABOUT THE CESSATION OF TERROR FROM THE ARABS.

NOT ONE WORD ABOUT INSISTING ON A NON-MILITARISED AND TERRORIST FREE NEW ARAB STATE IN THE BOSOM OF ISRAEL.

As long as you can make it a "trick" and as long as ENOUGH STUPID JEWS BELIEVE that someone else will "guarantee their survival..."

EXCUSE ME, WASN'T THAT THE SIN QUA NON OF THE RECREATION OF THE MODERN STATE OF ISRAEL?

That we could NEVER DEPEND ON and WOULD NEVER DEPEND ON another "nation" for the survival of the Jews.

Only G-d, and G-d willing, the people of the nation of Israel can "be there for their survival."

Here Monica Israel, HAVE ANOTHER CIGAR.

Homicide Bombers posing as college grads

Muslim members of the University of California, Irvine's graduating class will wear green sashes emblazoned with the word "shahada" in Arabic along with their commencement robes in tomorrow's ceremony - a reference some say is an incitement to violence that should not be allowed.

"Shahada" can be translated several ways, including as a declaration of faith in Islam, but it often is used in reference to "martyrdom" – especially martyrdom attained by suicide bombers.

Sally Peterson, dean of students at UCI, defended the university against critics who say the school shouldn't allow such a display.

Peterson admits the word "shahada," besides being a reference to Islam, "has also taken on many other meanings depending on where you sit. For some it is seen as 'kill all Jews' or it is seen as a reference to suicide bombers," she said.

Despite different meanings applied to the Arabic word, the administrator said UCI is not permitted to limit the Muslim Student Union members' freedom to wear the sashes. June 17, 2004 By Ron Strom © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com

Lets see if we can get this straight; if some UCI graduates want to wear swastikas on their sashes, that would be ok with UCI because the swastika has "other meanings depending on where you sit. " (the Hindus use it in a different context,...), and hey, a straight-arm salute from the podium, well, graduation is an exciting day, lets not limit their free speech.

How about if UCI students wore little drawings of watermelons and fried chicken on their sashes? After all, people eat those foods all the time!

If UCI students are interested in being homicide bombers, we aren't safe with them in the American workplace.

Oh, it's just the crazy muslim students? But how do we pre-screen the rest of the UCI grads to see if THEY STOOD UP AGAINST THIS GARBAGE?!

If the rest of the UCI grads are as cowardly, politically correct and/or as dangerously naive as their Dean, perhaps America needs to reconsider hiring any UCI grads.

JTA's puff piece on Kerry's new Jewish guy.

The call of Washington lures a Clinton man to Kerry campaign: May 12, 2004

Footlik ordered coffee and listened to the hourly news on the radio: President Bush wanted the Israeli army immediately to leave the West Bank towns where it was pursuing an aggressive campaign against Palestinian terrorists after a Passover suicide bombing killed almost 30 people.

What he didn't hear upset him even more: Where was Bush's plan to bring the parties back to peace talks?

So instead of being upset at Pres. Bush's faux complaint while Israel "was pursuing an aggressive campaign against Palestinian terrorists" Footlik wants to kibbitz a bissel more Oslocide?

"You can't say you care about the safety and security of Israelis and not be involved," Footlik said.

Actually, you can't say "you care about the safety and security of Israelis" when you are doing NOTHING TO FORCE ARABS TO STOP TERRORISM.

"Israel is less secure when our country takes a step back. That's what Bush has done for four years."

What a load of chazzerai: President Bush may have foolishly bought Tom Friedman's Saudi inspired Roadmap of Death, but at least the President had the sechel/brains to insist that there would be no new state of Terrorstine until the Arabs clamped down on terrorism.

The Arabs haven't clamped down, and notwithstanding Sharon's dog-wagging attempt to avoid indictment by handing over Gaza, Israel is not being forced by Gore-son-of-Clinton / Annan / Albright to hand over 1/2 of Jerusalem and 92% of Yesha to Yasser Arafat!

Footlik is a former member of the Clinton death-kiss crowd. To the detriment of Israel, Clinton met with Arafat MORE THAN ANY OTHER FOREIGN LEADER; to the detriment of the United States, Clinton met with Arafat more than he met with his own U.S. National Security Advisors.

Footlik and his cronies Ross, Indyk, and Berger ignored warnings that Arafat was never interested in a two state solution. Then they ignored those who noted Arafat's speech in Arabic after "the handshake" where Arafat characterized his appearance on the White House lawn as a temporary tactic.

End result? More Israeli dead and wounded.

With friends like Footlik and John Kerry, Israel could look forward to being ordered to disinter Sheik Yassin and propping him up as head of Gaza.

... His existence since 1999 - freelancing in Israel as a consultant to a number of peace-promoting groups...

Lovely... Did Footlik "consult" with the "peace-promoting groups" who urged Tzahalniks to refuse to serve, or did he speak up against the blatant sedition?

Did he set up, did he attend, or did he speak out against the meetings held by "tear down the settlements!" Ambassador Kurtzer and long-term State department Arabist William Burns, where they advised Gush Shalom and other "peace-promoting groups" on how to break up the coalition between right-thinking Jews and the hard-core, Israel-supporting Christian Right in the U.S.?

The other irony that JTA missed is that Kerry's own base doesn't appreciate his recent flip-flopping towards Israel, and they are also not particularly impressed with Footlik!

John Kerry's wife funds hundreds of anti-Israel (and anti-American) groups through her Tides Foundation. As American Jews supportive of Israel's and America's right and obligation to obliterate islamo-fascist terrorism, we don't need nor want Kerry as a President, and we don't need Footlik carrying Kerry's bitter waters.

Tonight we do a very late update and correction to an almost 4 year old post, "Spanish Continue With Self-Castration."

Your humble editor very belatedly apologizes and notes that he posted an incorrect photo, did not appropriately credit the source for that photo, and (bearer of good news finally), also sees that the Spanish relented under local pressure and did NOT remove their....

....Statue of James James, The Moor–Slayer.

The large photo in the original post below, as I have been very gently chided by a pleasant and peripatetic gentleman, "... is not of Santiago Montemores in Santiago, which is a smallish statue in a side chapel. Rather it is a large sculpture in Lagroño on the facade of the church there...[and]... is copyright by Mike Metras at www.worksandwords.com.

Here is the actual statue in question:

and as also noted above, here is the the excellent news as reported in the Telegraph, that a

"Public Outcry Forces Church to Keep Moor Slayer's Statue.":

St James the Moor Slayer, Spain's patron saint, has notched up another victory.

Church officials have been forced to overturn a decision to remove a statue of the saint from the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain.

The statue, an 18th-century work by Jose Gambino which depicts St James on a white charger hacking off the heads of Moors beneath his rampant mount's hooves, was deemed to be offensive to Muslims.

However a spokesman for the church, which is Christendom's third holiest site after Rome and Jerusalem and attracts half a million pilgrims each year, said yesterday that, due to public anger over the proposed move, the statue will now remain in place.

Church to remove Moor-slayer saint.

A statue in a Spanish cathedral showing St. James slicing the heads off Moorish invaders is to be removed to
avoid causing offence to Muslims.


Large sculpture in Lagroño on the facade of the church there, is NOT the statue in question: photo copyright by Mike Metras at www.worksandwords.com.

Cathedral authorities in the pilgrim city of Santiago de Compostela, on Spain's north west coast, plan to move the statue to the museum.

Among the reasons for the move is to avoid upsetting the "sensitivities of other ethnic groups".

EARTH TO SPAIN! The statue is in YOUR CHURCH! Unless you are planning on turning over your churches to Osama, who is going to be offended?

The statue of St James "the Moor-slayer" is expected to be replaced by one depicting the calmer image of St. James "the Pilgrim", by the same 18th century artist, Jose Gambino.

The Saracen-slaying image of St James, or Santiago in Spanish, is a symbol of the fight between Christianity and Islam and the reconquest of Spain from eight centuries of Moorish rule before 1492.

The saint is said to have appeared to Christian troops fighting Moorish army at the Battle of Clavijo in 844, the
crusaders rallying to the cry of "Santiago y cierra Espana" - "St James, we will reconquer Spain".

Cathedral authorities insist the timing of the decision has nothing to do with the 11 March bombings in Madrid, which an Islamic group is alleged to have carried out.

ALLEGED? The Moroccans who were arrested have confessed to planning the attack BEFORE the liberation of Iraq, AND most of the al Queda who originally got away later BLEW THEMSELVES UP, rather than be arrested by the few Spanish who still have their "complete packages"!

Alejandro Barral, president of the cultural commission for the cathedral council, told BBC News Online:

"This is not an opportunistic decision. This is not through fear of fanatics of any kind and nothing to do with 11 March or 11 September."

He said the decision was taken a few years ago, but simply had not yet been implemented.

No time like the present for appeasing muslim terorists, eh, SeÒor Barral? Did Osama promise to spare your entire family?

Mr Barral said the idea was to try to take the image of the saint back to its origins - St James as the apostle or pilgrim who took the word of Jesus to the Iberian Peninsula.

The Baroque image of a sword-wielding St James cutting the heads off Moors is not a very sensitive or evangelical image that fits the teachings of Christ, he added.

The statue, when it is eventually moved from the chapel in the cathedral, is not likely to be hidden from the six
million pilgrims and tourists who visit the city every year. It is due to take its place alongside dozens of other
images of St James in the cathedral museum.

Seems to us that the BBC and the Spanish can kneel to the muslim moon-god together!

Lefty journos use Preparation Hubris:
"Israel will inflame the terrorists!"

[Received via via email from a smart American Jew committed to the fight against terrorism, and sourced to Paul Greenberg,the Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial page editor of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette at Little
Rock.)

... various distinguished pundits, Israeli masochists, and "friends" of the Jewish state now warn that by taking such hasty action against a leader of Hamas after all these years, the Israelis will just inflame the terrorists.

That last piece of advice always brings to mind the story about the two Jews who were being stood against a wall by a Nazi execution squad. Allowed a few last words, the first Jew curses his killers, telling them they will lose the war and roast in Hell and all their crimes will be avenged and . . . then he hears the other Jew whispering in his ear: Shush! You'll make them mad.

Funny how the Left insisted that Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism, but no sooner was Madrid attacked by terrorists, suddenly the Left claims that Spain would have never been hit if it hadn't got involved in Iraq! Talk about pretzel logic...

Is Dershowitz The Perfect Useful Infidel?

Talk about chutzpah: Dershowitz almost gets hoisted by jihad-loving Leftists, but he still demands a new Sand-Nazi state carved out of Israel.

A salient passage in Alan Dershowitz's book "Chutzpah" tells of his intermittent disillusionment with the Left while at Harvard Law:

He and other Harvard law students had done some pro-bono work for "noted" Black Panther Angela Davis and other antiwar activists who had been arrested at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968.

When Davis was later leaving for a trip to Moscow, Dershowitz asked her to intercede for Russian Jews in the Soviet Union who were being persecuted for everything from lighting Chanukah candles to attempting to emigrate and make aliyah to Israel.

Davis turned him down, stating that she would do nothing to help "Zionist imperialists," no matter where they stood on other issues... 

Well, Perfessor, those Far-Left, Tides-Foundation(think John Kerry's wife)-funded pro-Arafat fascists you met at Faneuil Hall last week SUPPORT THE SAME INSANE DOO-DOO THAT YOU DO; creating another unneeded, combo Socialist / Sharia-based state fully capable of exporting more global terrorism.

What a shandah fur deh Yidden: Prof. Dershowitz only just found out how ruthless the leftists really are. How many more times does he need to get mugged by them, more important, how many more innocents must die at the hands of those emboldened by his over-zealous and impolite cohorts before he realizes that his goal for carving Terrorstine out of Israel's bosom is BAD FOR ISRAEL AND AMERICA?

From Bigotry outside Faneuil Hall: Prof. Alan Dershowitz , March 5, 2004.

The other day, I experienced violent anti-Semitism for the first time in my adult life. It took place in front of Faneuil Hall, the birthplace of American independence and liberty.

(Wow, violent anti-semitism: good thing they were only screaming and waving signs at you, Professor)

(click image to enlarge)

I was receiving a justice award from the Jewish Council on Public Affairs and delivering a talk on "Civil Liberties in the Age of Terrorism" from the podium of that historic hall. When I left, award in hand, I was accosted by a group of screaming, angry young men and women carrying virulently anti-Israel signs. The protest was denominated a peace event and was sponsored by a group calling themselves by the vague name ACT-MA.

[See link above, they were funded by the Tides Foundation, run by Senator John Kerry's wife).

Although the signs they were carrying were not anti-Semitic, [what a relief - Editor ] the sign carriers were shouting epithets at me that crossed the line from civility to bigotry. "Dershowitz and Hitler, just the same, the only difference is the name." The sin that, in the opinion of the screamers, warranted this comparison between me and the man who murdered dozens of my family members was my support for Israel. It was irrelevant to these chanters that I also support a Palestinian state, the end of the Israeli occupation and the dismantling of most of the settlements. [my emphasis - JP] They also shouted "Dershowitz and Gibbels [sic], just the same, the only difference is the name" - not even knowing how to pronounce the name of the anti-Semitic Nazi propagandist.

"It was irrelevant to these chanters that I also support a Palestinian state, the end of the Israeli occupation and the dismantling of most of the settlements."

Welcome to and thank you for exposing the merger of the insane AND MODERATE Left and islamo-fascism, Professor. Aside from you and these fools both completely missing the irony of your and their shared desire to make Yesha Judenrein, it's time to finish your education and see how John Kerry's wife's Tides Foundation is funding your Osama wannabe's as well as the self-loathing "moderate" left-wing Jewicides of Gush Shalom.

Isn't there one person at Rutgers who is embarrassed?

Embarrassed (if only for their friends, alumni and their donors!) that a propaganda film for Hamas and the "Martyr's Brigade" is being shown at Rutgers this Friday?

Isn't there one person at Rutgers who is revolted by the constant bombardment of the pro-terrorist and stalinist propaganda emanating from Rutgers and being produced under Rutger's name?

Isn't there one person with guts and honor at Rutgers who will publish a denunciation of this film, this Bin Ladenesque propaganda for terrorists?

If you are or know one such person at Rutgers, please forward the following article and link with the truth about Jenin, and the truth about the propaganda from those who cheered on 9/11.

If you ignore it, the pro-homicide bombing terrorist-organizers on the Rutgers campus get a free pass.

PS - Ask the President of Rutgers if he would tolerate the lies and slander of a film like this on his campus if it was the KKK demanding "freedom of speech;" if it was David Duke urging that black children be blown up on buses, and that a black nation be "divested" from, and wiped off the face of the earth. Or is it only terrorists who want to kill Americans and Israelis who are so favored by President McCormick's equanimity ?

The PLO Propaganda Film "Jenin, Jenin"

Frontpagemag ^ | Feb 20, 04 | Lee Kaplan

From San Francisco State to Columbia University, "Palestinian film festivals" are becoming one of the major propaganda venues for those seeking to dismantle Israel.[1]

The most widely seen of these films is "Jenin, Jenin," shot by an Israeli-Arab actor named Mohammed Bakri. "Jenin, Jenin" purports to be a documentary on the aftermath of the Jenin battle between the Israel Defense Forces and PLO terrorists that took place in `Jenin in 2002. The film has become standard fare at such screenings.

There's one major problem: the film is a fraud.

Read the rest of this excellent and concise expose of terrorist propaganda
here.

No muslims + no leftists = NO TERROR.

[MK] Elon responded with anger: "I know one outrageous alliance - that of leftist atheists, extremist civil-rights advocates, who walk hand-in-hand with extremist Moslem murderers in Hyde Park demonstrations and elsewhere around the world, and demonstrate against America and against Israel! This is the outrageous coalition that I know of! [interruption by MK Yossi Sarid] The extreme left-wing that exudes poison, that gives ammunition [to Israel's enemies], just like that display in Sweden [equating a woman Palestinian terrorist, depicted as Snow White, with her Israeli victims] made by an Israeli-Swede who would certainly have voted for you, MK Sarid, or one of the other [left-wing or Arab] parties here. You are the ones who nurture the current anti-Semitism, because the current anti-Semitism is led by the most extreme Islamists...


Tourism Minister Benny Elon said
that his alliance with Bible-believing
and Israeli-supporting Christians is
praiseworthy - as opposed to that
between Moslem murderers and
extreme left-wing atheists.

"Therefore, those extremists, those who continue to fight the wars of the past - who think that anti-Semitism will appear only as it has in the past, on the background of Wagner's music, MK Sarid, and only on a Christian background: Allow me to inform you that today, the place where the Protocols of the Elders of Zion [is being disseminated] and where it is the biggest best-seller, is not on any street in Europe, and not on any street in America. Today, the place where classic anti-Semitic claims are made is here, the geographic center of the People of Israel! The center of hatred for Israel is here! A large Jewish ghetto surrounded by hatred for Israel is right here!

A Vicious, Anti-Semitic Film

Produced by Syria, not Mel Gibson.

By Joel C. Rosenberg / February 25, 2004

Israeli Cabinet Minister Natan Sharansky went to Berlin in January to show German, French and
other European officials excerpts of a vicious, anti-Semitic film.

With all the media attacks on Mel Gibson and his new film, you might think Sharansky showed excerpts of The Passion of the Christ. He did not. Sharansky, for whom I briefly worked in 2000, wanted European officials to see a real anti-Semitic film. So he showed them excerpts of Al-Shatat ("The Diaspora"), a $5.1 million, 30-part "mini-series" produced by Syrian television. It was broadcast during Ramadan last year by Al-Mansar, Hezbollah's satellite television network. The film is "a Syrian TV series recording the criminal history of Zionism," according to a November 11, 2003 report in the Syria Times.

Episode Twenty of Al-Shatat ó which aired last November ó depicts a classic anti-Semitic blood libel. A Rabbi, played by an Arab actor, directs a member of his synagogue to help him:

1) kidnap the son of his Christian neighbor;
2) bring the boy to the synagogue;
3) slit the boy's throat;
4) drain the boy's blood into a basin;
5) use the blood to make Passover matzoh bread;
6) serve the matzoh to the members of the synagogue.

See the video here; Click here to read the rest of this article.

So where's Abe Foxman? 30 million American Christians are going to se Gibson's film, and 99% of them are coming out in tears. And after they get home, they are calling the WH to tell the president to support Israel.

Meanwhile a gazillion muslims see this Syrian crap and blow us up on a daily basis.

Watch the Syrian movie and tell me again Mel Gibson is the problem...

Why Mel Owes One to the Jews
by Rabbi Daniel Lapin
President, Toward Tradition

Two weeks before Mel Gibson's Passion flashes onto two thousand screens, online ticket merchants are reporting that up to half their total sales are for advance purchases for Passion. One Dallas multiplex has reserved all twenty of its screens for The Passion. I am neither a prophet nor a movie critic. I am merely an Orthodox rabbi using ancient Jewish wisdom to make three predictions about The Passion.

One, Mel Gibson and Icon Productions will make a great deal of money. Those distributors who surrendered to pressure from Jewish organizations and passed on Passion will be kicking themselves, while Newmarket Films will laugh all the way to the bank. Theater owners are going to love this film.

Two, Passion will become famous as the most serious and substantive Biblical movie ever made. It will be one of the most talked-about entertainment events in history, it is currently on the cover of Newsweek and Vanity Fair.

My third prediction is that the faith of millions of Christians will become more fervent as Passion uplifts and inspires them. Passion will propel vast numbers of unreligious Americans to embrace Christianity. The movie will one day be seen as a harbinger of America's third great religious reawakening.

Those Jewish organizations that have squandered both time and money futilely protesting Passion, ostensibly in order to prevent pogroms in Pittsburgh, can hardly be proud of their performance. They failed at everything they attempted. They were hoping to ruin Gibson rather than enrich him. They were hoping to suppress Passion rather than promote it. Finally, they were hoping to help Jews rather than harm them.
Read the rest of Rabbi Lapin's article here...

And here's our 5 reasons we think the goyim should go see Gibson's movie (And yes, some overlap Rabbi Lapin's).

a/ Those religious Christians who support Israel as much as (and sadly, if not more than many Jews we know) will not turn around and hate us and attack us; indeed, Foxman has sold so many tickets for them and has religious Christians who support Israel [RCWSI] so frightened that some white trash ignorant Christian might blame/attack a Jew, that THEY, the RCWSI, will stand up against it and against any violence against Jews to protect the "spiritual integrity" of the film. Call me optimistic (see (d) if I am wrong).

b/ Seeing this movie might make waffly Christians more Christian. Probably a good thing for America as we head towards trying to save what's left of traditional family values, and as the war against islamo-fascism heats up.

c/ Goyim who will walk out of this movie hating us, and h'v might attack us because of it probably hated us and harbored violent fantasies against us anyway. One drop of Jewish blood is too many, but more Jews would be hurt by shutting down and shouting down this movie.

d/ If it does get out of control, either more Jews will join Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership or we can all go make aliyah and finally depose Sharon who is now floating the notion of INVITING the Egyptian army into Gaza. You can also call me naive of many of the subtleties of ha-matzav, but after watching American Jews celebrate Rabin and Peres BRINGING BACK ARAFAT from Tunisia, I don't think I am ready for the Likud bringing in the Egyptian army.

e/ BTW, where are Foxman, Denby, Frank Rich et al screaming about WHAT'S BEING PREACHED IN MOSQUES EVERY WEEK IN AMERICA? Where were they when hundreds of thousands of left-wing, kaffiyah-wearing, hamas-loving, student-trash marched in American streets with International [C]Answer in support of Arafat, Saddam and Bin Laden? Why isn't Foxman leading the charge TO PUT REUTERS OUT OF BUSINESS for it's blind support AND ENCOURAGEMENT of terrorism against America and Israel?

Rabbis take cue from age-old problem...


AND APPROVE USING
PIG LARD TO STOP TERROR ATTACKS

From correspondents in Jerusalem
February 12, 2004

ISRAELI police have come up with plans to place bags
of pig lard on buses in a bid to deter Palestinian
militants from carrying out suicide attacks, the Maariv
daily reported.

Rabbinical authorities have given the idea its approval
on the grounds that it could be a life-saving measure
even though pigs are also considered impure by Jews. .

Authorities believe that the move could discourage
Palestinians from carrying out attacks as pieces of their
exploded body could come into contact with the pig fat,
prejudicing their chances of entering into paradise.

The paper said that the rabbinical dispensation could
mean that security forces also hang bags of lard in
shopping malls and schools.

Public buses have been a favourite target for Palestinian
suicide bombers since the start of the intifada in
September 2000.

Historian's Take on Islam Steers U.S. Policy:
Wall St Journal ^ | 2-02-04 | PETER WALDMAN

(The above link may require registration at the WSJ).

A Princeton historian's diagnosis of the Muslim world's malaise, and his call for a U.S. military invasion to seed democracy in the Mideast, have helped define the boldest shift in U.S. foreign policy in 50 years.

Bernard Lewis often tells audiences about an encounter he once had in Jordan. The Princeton University historian, author of more than 20 books on Islam and the Middle East, says he was chatting with Arab friends in Amman when one of them trotted out an argument familiar in that part of the world.

"We have time, we can wait," he quotes the Jordanian as saying. "We got rid of the Crusaders. We got rid of the Turks. We'll get rid of the Jews."

Hearing this claim "one too many times," Mr. Lewis says, he politely shot back, "Excuse me, but you've got your history wrong. The Turks got rid of the Crusaders. The British got rid of the Turks. The Jews got rid of the British. I wonder who is coming here next...."

---

Along with a brief biography of Bernard Lewis and great anecdotes of his contacts with past Israeli politicians and the current WH administration, this article is notable for it's exposure of Mr. Lewis's critics as the enemies of America and Israel:

Mideast historian Juan Cole of the University of Michigan praises Mr. Lewis's scholarly works earlier in his career but says his more-popular writings of recent years tend to caricature Muslims as poor losers, helpless and enraged.

"Mr. Cole is among those who say Mr. Lewis's call for military intervention to transform failed Muslim states risks making the culture clash between Islamic lands and the West worse."

Mr. Coles thinks we should have thrown candy at them and begged them to like us. That will always get a muslim's respect.

"So far, they say, Iraq looks more like a breeding ground for terrorism than a showcase of democracy -- not surprising, they say, given that the U.S. invaded an old and proud civilization."

Hello, THE ENTIRE MUSLIM MID-EAST is a breeding ground for terrorism! Which part of the Koran didn't Mr. Cole read?

And "an old and proud civilization"? Was that the one with Saddam Hussein's killing fields and the mass graves, or was Mr. Cole referring to the sword wielding tribesmen running around in the sand hiding from the Ottomans? Hello, BABYLON died when?

"Lewis has lived so long, he's managed to live into an era when some people in Washington are reviving empire thinking," says Mr. Cole."

What a useless apologist for terrorism this man is: ISLAM CONSIDERS ITSELF AN EMPIRE TO BE IMPOSED.

"He's never understood the realities of political and social mobilization and the ways they make empire untenable."

We understand you clearly, Mr. Cole; you want to be the dhimmie advisor who gets to sit by the pashas and the mullahs and point out which of us get hanged.

"Ilan Pappe of Haifa University says Mr. Lewis's view that political cultures can be remade through force contributed to Israel's decision to invade Lebanon in 1982."

Ilan Pappe is an degenerate communist who should be deported to hell with arafat and peres.

"It took the Israelis 18 years, and 1,000 soldiers killed, to abandon that strategy," Mr. Pappe says.

Yes, and every arab regime repeatedly states how they can wear down America the same way they wore down Israel until they ran out of Lebanon, leaving the Lebanese under the thumb of the Syrians and Hizbollah with their thousands of rockets aimed at Israel.

"Effendi, simply give little arab sex boys to the communists in the universities and the newspapers, they will write and tell their people to abandon the fight and we can destroy our enemies without firing hardly a shot."

"If the Americans operate under the same assumptions in Iraq, they'll fail the way the Israelis failed."

Ironically that's correct: If America follows Israel's ongoing appeasement madness, we will succumb to terrorists for centuries.

Who would the terrorists vote for? Dean dresses for "success" with a keffiyeh.

This photo of Dean wearing the Arafatian headguard around his neck is apparently was originally available here via the Associated Press, but as of Tuesday, February 24, 2004 (if not earlier)the link is occassionally showing a "404: file not found:

The picture also ran on the front page of today's the January 21, 2004 hardcopy edition of The NY Sun.

EYECATCHING SCARF Governor Dean greets supporters after the Iowa caucuses wearing what appears to be a keffiyeh, the traditional Arab headress worn by Palestinian Arabs. A spokesman for the Dean campaign said it had 'nothing to do with' Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. 'It's just a scarf someone gave him,' spokesman Matthew Gardener said.

As another supporter of America and Israel in the war against terrorism has aptly pointed out: "So if someone gives him sheets and a pointed hat, he would wear that too?"

Dean, who is not only fighting for the White House but also battling the Clintons for control of the "soul" (read financial control) of the Democrat Party, obviously feels he needs to show greater "terror-love" than Hillary and Bill Clinton and other Democrats:

Before the Dean picture disappears from the net, JewPoint humbly suggests that readers grab it for postcards for "friends" this November...

EDITOR'S POSTSCRIPT: The un-retouched picture at the top of this article is now being served from our server. The original (same) picture was being served at the AP link above but is now showing an intermittent 404: File not found.

Even more interesting is that American Digest captions the same picture with:

of, the Permanent Palestinian Mission to the United Nations during his caucus night party in West Des Moines, Iowa, Monday, Jan. 19, 2004. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)

While noting that "Paul Sancya" is a highly credited photographer, and of course hoping against hope that the PLO actually and publicly endorsed Dean (though he would have made a much more amusing opponent for Pres. Bush this fall), your humble editor awaits a reply from American Digest and/or AP confirming this caption.

We all know someone who is a little "confused" over the "situation" in Israel. For educational purposes, and as a public service, Jewpoint will now offer images suitable for printing and/or emailing to your friends, family, and G-d forbid, to journalists. Feel free to send this image to anyone who complains about Israel "stealing" muslim land:

Help Israel by SHOPPING! (A stronger Israeli economy means less reliance on U.S. aid and EU trade Roadmap blackmail).

"Helping Israel From Abroad," originally published at Israel National News 17:48 Jan 15, '04 / 21 Tevet 5764

Merely by changing spending habits, Jewish families living abroad can inject some 7 billion shekels a year into the Israeli economy - for a net gain of 20,000 new jobs. How? By making sure to spend only $50 each month on Israeli products.

The Jewish Agency, the World Zionist Organization, and the White and Blue Mission of the Israeli Manufacturers Association have begun a joint campaign to promote the purchase of Israeli goods abroad. Arutz-7's Hagit Rotenberg reports that the $50-a-month shift could lead to a 3% increase in Israel's industrial sales. Purposeful spending of this nature, it is thought, could also lead to greater solidarity and identification with the Jewish state.

Parents of "useless" Arab homicide bomber complain he wasn't prepped well enough to kill any Jews (he only blew himself up...).

Parents of dead 17 year-old criticize only the poor planning that led to son's suicide death. By Itamar Marcus

17-year-old Iyad al Masri died last week when the suicide bomb strapped to his body exploded prematurely killing only himself. His family this week expressed outrage and demanded an investigation, not of the decision to recruit a 17 year old boy for a suicide operation, but of the poor planning that left "no chance of success.î They complained that he was sent during a time of curfew on the city and their son had no experience leaving the city during a curfew "which made it impossible for him to reach his target." They further complained about the "exploitation of the anger" of their son in recruiting him following his brother's recent "Martyrdom," however, no criticism is expressed of the act of recruiting of their son, a 17-year-old, for a suicide terror mission, had it been planned properly and succeeded in killing Israelis, as well.

Middle East Terror Groups Find Sanctuary, Revenue in South America

In the frontier town of Ciudad del Este, in February 2003, Paraguayan state security officials raided a store owned by Ali Khalil Mehri, a 32-year old businessman of Lebanese descent. They recovered Hezbollah propaganda and documentation of money transfers to Canada, Chile, the U.S. and Lebanon totaling more than $700,000. Also found were fundraising forms for an organization in the Middle East called Al-Shahid, which is dedicated to the "protection of families of martyrs and prisoners." After a thorough investigation, Paraguayan prosecutors charged Mehri with selling millions of dollars of pirated software and channeling the proceeds to the Hezbollah terrorist group. Mehri, released on bail after his arrest, crossed into Brazil and then flew from Sao Paulo to Paris. Authorities now believed he is in Syria.



Mehri's arrest was the first major breakthrough in the investigation of illicit Hezbollah activities in the Tri-Border Area, an almost lawless area shared by the cities of Ciudad del Este, Paraguay; Foz do Iguacu, Brazil and Puerto Iguacu, Argentina. The area is known for money laundering, extortion, forgery, prostitution and illegal gambling. It has long been a resting place for drug traffickers and South American terrorist organizations such as the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia), but in the past decade or so it has emerged as a hotbed of Islamist terrorism as well.
