From the "better late than never department".

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?

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.

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.

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.

Israeli-made products can be found on these sites (clicking any of the links will open a new page):

    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.

    The Israeli fencing team will not be allowed to participate in the world fencing championship to take place in Aqaba in two days, the head of the Jordanian fencing association has told his Israeli counterpart. "If the Israelis take part in the championship, Arab teams will not come to Aqaba," he said.

    No Jew at Lo Eretz has the temerity to suggest that the Israeli team show up and LET THE ARABS DEFAULT by not appearing.

    But here is where the Lo Eretz appeasers work their magic: they put Gush's ad in the right part of the story, to show how Israel's chances to even participate in the Olympics are jeopardized because...

    If Israel is not allowed to participate in the world championship, the chances of Israel's two senior fencers, Tomer Or and Ayelet Ohayon, of reaching the 2004 Olympics in Athens will be jeopardized... Over the past few days, Jordan has severely criticized Israeli actions in the territories, especially the continued construction of the separation fence.


    Personally, I think the Jordanians are cowards. I also think this issue of "fencing" is perfect timing, to remind them that JORDAN is "palestine"... click here to pass the message on to the Jordanians to take back their arab brothers from Yesha, and tell the Jewish appeasers how you feel at feedback@haaretz.co.il

    ROPMA Daniel Pearl Redux: Houston / Saudi Muslim man becomes religious, takes Koran literally and decapitates former Jewish "friend."


    Saudi pleads guilty to killing Jewish friend in Houston
    Houston Chronicle ^ | Jan. 12, 2004, | ANDREW TILGHMAN

    A Saudi Arabian national who slashed a Jewish friend's throat after apparently undergoing a religious reawakening has pleaded guilty to murder rather than face trial.

    Mohammed Ali Alayed, 23, faces up to 60 years in prison for the Aug. 6 attack in which Ariel Sellouk was almost decapitated with a knife.



    Although Alayed went to a local mosque after the slaying and no clear motive was established, Houston police said they could not find any evidence that Sellouk, also 23, was killed because of his race or religion...

    Maybe the Houston PD needs to READ THE KORAN:

    "When you meet the unbelievers in jihad [holy war], chop off their heads. And when you have brought them low, bind your prisoners rigorously. Then set them free or take ransom from them until the war is ended." (Koran, 47:40)


    ... Sellouk, a Moroccan Jew who settled in Houston in 1982, said his son became friends with Alayed a few years ago. He said Alayed underwent "a religious experience" about two years ago, became a devout Muslim and broke off contact with Ariel.

    On the day of the slaying, Sellouk said, Alayed called his son and suggested they get together. The two had drinks at a bar before going to Alayed's apartment about midnight.

    Alayed's roommate told police the two were not arguing before Sellouk was killed.
    ___________

    Isn't THAT nice... at least the Jew wasn't ARGUING before the Muslim killed him.

    "Murder them and treat them harshly" (Koran 9:123)

    There's no "hate" crime here... keep moving along folks, he was only Jewish...

    1/9/04

    I had a dream...

    that Israel had some serious leaders...

    DATELINE JERUSALEM:
    "New Israeli Prime Minister Pinchas Nakam has warned that further terrorism by Arabs could destroy chances for a new independent arab state between Jordan and Israel, and indeed might lead to the expansion of the Israeli state.

    The Israeli prime minister stated in a news conference that he may abandon the goal of a new independent Arab state of PaliTerrorstan, and in exchange for ending the 5 year Israeli occupation of Damascus and southeastern Syria, Israel will offer to move the Arabs squatting in Yesha back to Jordan and Syria.

    American General Consensus, the Chief of the joint U.S. and Israeli Occupation Forces in Western Syria and Lebanon, reportedly welcomed the Israeli PM's comments.

    The Israeli PM noted that repopulating Jordan, where Palestinians would take over from the "little pisher Hashemite" who is currently buying land in Iraq, and Syria, where former dictator Assad was found buried last week in a mass Hizbullah grave in the Bekka Valley, may be the only solution.

    "If the Arabs don't finish off wiping out Hamas and Islamic Jihad, under the agreement they made with former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell while he was taking heroin before his surgery for prostate cancer, we would have no other choice," concluded PM Nakam...

    Robert Kilroy-Silk spoke a few truths
    and the BBC fired him.

    What a disgrace; please call us when the BBC stops kneeling to Bin Laden.

    The Kilroy programme will be taken off air immediately following comments made by Robert Kilroy-Silk in a newspaper article, the BBC has announced.

    The presenter branded Arabs "suicide bombers, limb amputators, women repressors" and asked what they had given to the world other than oil. ... He said Arabs "murdered more than 3,000 civilians on 11 September" and then "danced in the streets" to celebrate.

    The BBC happily promotes a "poet" who calls Israelis "nazis" (see below) but when someone tells a few truthes about islam, the "Beeb" bends over like a cheap hooker.

    CRE chair Trevor Phillips said: "This article is indisputably stupid and its main effect will be to give comfort to the weak-minded."

    Maybe he should the Koran?

    "However, given the extreme and violent terms in which Mr Kilroy-Silk has expressed himself, there is a danger that this might incite some individuals to act against someone who they think is an Arab."

    If that's true, then "BBC House poet" Tom Paulin should have been flogged for encouraging sand-nazis to slaughter Jews.

    Earlier this year Paulin, who lectures in 19th- and 20th-century English
    literature at Oxford University, told the influential Egyptian paper
    al-Ahram Weekly that what he described as "Brooklyn-born" Jewish
    settlers should be "shot dead." He said: "They should be shot dead. I
    think they are Nazis, racists, I feel nothing but hatred for them." He
    added: "I can understand how suicide bombers feel. . . . I think attacks
    on civilians in fact boost morale.

    "World Jewry is not an amen chorus"
    By Arthur Hertzberg

    Whine, whine and more whine from American Jews about "those horrible settlements," and how mean we Jews are to the arabs...



    I searched this article by Arthur Hertzberg for the words "terror," "terrorism," "murder," "slaughter," "bomb," "bombing," "dead," and "death," and came up with nothing
    but

    " It is morally and politically impossible to defend continuing, relentless pressure to make life more and more miserable for the Palestinians in their homes. "

    OMG: RELENTLESS pressure no less!

    This is obviously from a man who prefers dead Jews, a"h, to inconvenienced arabs.

    What kind of leftwing brainwashing does one have to endure before you can publicly come out and say that the Arabs' destitute situation is due to Jewish pressure, IGNORING THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF AID TO THE ARABS THAT WAS STOLEN AND/OR USED TO FUND THE SLAUGHTER OF JEWS?

    More over, if he is so concerned with the condition of the Arabs, WHY DOESN'T HE TELL THE SAUDIS TO GIVE THEM MONEY FOR FOOD INSTEAD OF FOR HOMICIDE BOMBINGS?

    Could it be that the Saudis would tell him to take a hike?

    L'' havdil I should sound like a Saudi; Rabbi Hertzberg, with all due respect:

    TAKE A HIKE!

    "Wrath redux: Is there but one effective way to end the hate and madness?" By Stefan Kanfer 12/30/03


    The third choice remains the most effective. Arming those who are the prey of degenerate killers is a sensible way to go. Licensed or unlicensed, Jews have a right to protect themselves and to take down those who would murder them. Temples have a right to have 24-hour guards, and to keep the foe at bay by whatever means necessary. But better still, that foe should be sought out, threatened, and, when possible, annihilated. As numerous incidents in Europe, and lately on U.S. campuses demonstrate, Jew-hatred is in fashion as it has not been since Hitler's time, disguised in the mask of the pro-Palestinian cause. It is long past time to reinstitute Operation Wrath of G-d. Despite protests by people and nations who wish Israel had never been created, the policy of revenge was very effective last time. And it can be again.

    Blair acted like a 'white vigilante' by invading Iraq, says bishop The Guardian | 30 December 2003 | Sarah Hall


    Tony Blair came under attack from two of the Church of England's most senior figures yesterday for acting "like a white vigilante" and for lacking humility in forging ahead with the war on Iraq.

    In the most outspoken outburst, the Bishop of Durham, Tom Wright, accused religious conservatives surrounding the US president, George Bush, of espousing "a very strange distortion of Christianity" - particularly since, through Iraq's reconstruction, many would gain financially.

    "For Bush and Blair to go into Iraq together was like a bunch of white vigilantes going into Brixton to stop drug dealing. This is not to deny there's a problem to be sorted, just that they are not credible people to deal with it," he said.

    In a separate rebuke, the Archbishop of York, David Hope, questioned the legitimacy of the war and said Mr. Blair would have to answer to God - a "higher authority" - for his decision to forge ahead with the conflict...

    [Archbishop of York, David Hope, stated] "Undoubtedly, a very wicked leader has been removed, but there are wicked leaders in other parts of the world."

    I can think of two right here... the pooftah morons being quoted. These fools seem to be sharing Dr. Dean's staff

    And who they calling racist? These two Bishops likely preferred their wogs dead:



    Mass grave found in northern Iraq" as reported by the British Bull Crap on Monday, 11 February, 2002.

    ... The Kurdish authorities in the region said that the grave, discovered two days ago, was the fourth mass grave to be found in the ground of Sardaw military camp - set up by the Iraqi Army in 1982.

    Bakhtiar Amin, the head of the Washington-based International Alliance for Justice (IAJ), told BBC News Online that the discovery of this new mass grave "is additional evidence of Saddam Hussein and his regime's crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity".

    The IAJ is an alliance of more than 260 non-governmental organisations from 120 countries and is calling for an expert commission under a UN mandate to study the available evidence and decide whether there is a case for crimes against humanity in Iraq.

    ... Before the Gulf War, the area was under Baghdad's control and the government suppressed the Kurdish population through summary executions, forced disappearances and use of chemical weapons.

    Drawing on eyewitness accounts and documents seized from Iraqi security during the Gulf War uprising, international organisations estimate that 182,000 people, mostly men, were forced from the Kurdish areas and buried alive in mass graves in the southern deserts.

    ... The Iraqi Government refuses to confirm the fate of the missing people, despite repeated requests from Kurdish officials.

    ____________

    Maybe Bishops Tom Wright and David Hope ought to collect what's left of their manhoods and try telling the Kurds how evil Blair and Bush are.

    These "gentleman" make me sick and ashamed to share the English language.

    ATTN ANDREW CARD, WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF

    CC: Republican National Committee, Republican Jewish Coalition

    RE: WH spokesman: President Bush has no problem with Colin Powell meeting Geneva Accord authorsÖ Haaretz News Ticker ^ | 12/3/2003 | Reuters

    Sir,

    If Secretary Powell can cheerfully meet with the ultra-left sworn enemies of the U.S. and Israel, I guess the White House doesn't mind if we Republican Jews stop taking Karl Rove's and the Republican Jewish Committee's calls for donations and support for President Bush's reelection.

    And maybe the White House wants Clinton to meet with Mullah Omar and Saddam, or Buchanan to meet with Putin and Schroeder...

    Maybe we should go back and meet with those older Democrats who keep asking "If we go further right on Israel than President Bush, will you please take our calls, will you think about coming back to the fold?"

    The Geneva Plan is a bait and switch maneuver to re-push the Oslocide, and it's coming from ultra-leftists WHO WERE DEFEATED AT THE POLLS IN ISRAEL.

    Is the White House now taking lessons from Clinton, Carville and Seth Abraham, attempting to subvert the Govt of Israel?

    Does the White House think us Republican Jews will suddenly jump on the ROADCRAP bandwagon to avoid the Geneva surrender? Think again.

    The White House needs to get Powell and Rice and Wolfowitz back on the reservation, or we can have an even better conversation with the 30 million evangelical Christians who think President Bush is soft on marriage, abortion, gays and guns. Our Christian allies ask for our financial support all the time, and we also hear they are thinking of sitting it out in 2004 if you don't stay with your base.

    Self-defeating? MaybeÖ BUT SO IS YOUR PLAN TO DIVIDE UP ISRAEL AND CREATE ANOTHER ARAB TERROR STATE, just so you can appease the EU and the Saudis.

    Israel is one of the biggest providers to America of hi-tech military, medical and computer research, and installing another Arab terrorist regime will only bring less of those benefits and will simultaneously bring terrorism back to America.

    Sounds far-fetched?

    By agreeing to meet with the Arab "playas" in this game, the U.S. State Department is encouraging the Baathists in Iraq to kill more Americans; why should the Fedayeen Saddam, or Al Queda stop their attacks when America tells OTHER Arabs that terrorism gets them meetings with Secretary Powell?

    Remember the last time America took meetings with terrorists? They were called mujahedeen, and they brought us September 11th...

    Please respectfully remind the President, standing with Israel is GOOD FOR AMERICA; stabbing her in the back is BAD FOR AMERICA.

    A Saudi-Israeli Deal [JEWISH WAHABBI SETTLERS]

    The New York Times ^ | 11/13/03 | THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

    [NOTE: this article below contains excerpts; The NY Times requires registration to read the complete text]

    Reading the latest poll from the European Union, which indicates that 59 percent of E.U. citizens now consider Israel the greatest "threat to world peace,".... the following heretical thought comes to mind: The keepers of the Muslim holy places and the keepers of the Jewish holy places really need each other today.

    Take two Tums before you read further; Tom ("The Saudi's Water Carrier") suggests that the way to peace is for Israel TO GIVE UP HER HOLY PLACES TO THE SAUDIS...

    Israel can't solve the problem of rising anti-Semitism without the help of the Saudi ruling family, and the Saudis can't buy the time they need for gradual political and economic reform at home without the help of Israel. Yes, the House of Saud and the House of Sharon really do need each other. ...

    I know, you think Tom is going to suggest Israel help turn the Saudi's deserts green....

    Let's start with the House of Saud. What ails the Saudi monarchy is a soaring population; dwindling per-capita oil income; schools that stress religious teachings over science, math and literature; a ruling family with 5,000 useless princes feeding at the trough; and an aging, divided leadership. Together, all this has spawned two grass-roots challenges.

    The most obvious is from Osama bin Laden. One could easily do a revisionist history of 9/11 and show how it was simply the opening salvo in an attempted coup within Saudi Arabia ó with the attack on America meant only as a bank shot to undermine one of the main supports of the Saudi ruling family.

    Thank G-d for small favors; at least Tom didn't suggest that Israel was responsible for 9/11...

    Last week's Riyadh bombing was just the latest episode in this civil war, involving hard-core Islamists out to overthrow the moderate/Westernized/indulgent Saudi elite. The fact that these murderous militants have to kill innocent Saudis to draw attention suggests that they can only create mayhem, not a movement with any mass following.

    He's right, only 10% of the world's muslims publicly support Bin Laden... AND THAT'S ONLY 100 MILLION...

    But the other challenge is more serious and legitimate. It comes from frustrated, claustrophobic, jobless Saudi youth and a voiceless middle class that resents the excesses of the ruling family...

    "The only hope for the Saudi ruling family, for long-term survival, is to deliver on two key sources of legitimacy: a rising standard of living and the Palestine question," argues the Middle East expert Stephen P. Cohen.

    Another self-loathing genius heard from: next we will hear that solving the "Palestine question" (btw, anyone know of a country called "Palestine"?) will help the NY Yankees win next year's World Series...

    "Improving standards of living requires gradual political and economic reforms to transform the Saudi education system and society ....

    ... But to buy time for economics, adds Mr. Cohen, the Saudis need to deliver on emotions "by helping to bring about a dignified solution to the Palestine problem, which returns the mosques of Jerusalem to Muslim control. . . .

    Returns the mosques of Jerusalem to Muslim control? They are ALREADY UNDER MUSLIM CONTROL; that's where every Friday they sermonize on the big and little satans, and urge their followers on to slaughter Christians and Jews. Oh Tom, help me out here, I forgot where in the Koran it mentions Jerusalem more than once? Could it be in that same section that says the Saudis can disregard previous agreements with the U.S., and leave their F-15's on their border closest to Israel....?

    ...Some 26 years ago Anwar Sadat responded to the food riots in Egypt by going to Jerusalem to make peace with Israel. In doing so he bought his successor 26 years to deal with Egypt's economic problems."

    Hmmm, that sort of ignores the fact that the Egyptians have been "buying time" by arming Fatah et al through the Gaza tunnels for a few decades, to say nothing of still starving their own people while spending billions in U.S. aid modernizing their own armies to the point where they almost pose a threat again to Israel.... Oh, never mind, Egypt rebuilding their military so they can attack Israel again isn't important...

    Crown Prince Abdullah needs to forge his own breakthrough for the same reasons." ...

    Where the Israelis need the Saudis is in combating the rising tide of anti-Semitism. This new anti-Semitism is a witches' brew of Muslim rage ó nurtured in madrasas and mosques financed by Saudi money ó and classic European hatred fed by a new anti-Israel anti-Semitism. Both are fanned by a European press that increasingly reads like the worst Arab press,...

    EUROPEAN PRESS? Tom, you are too modest! You are one of the terrorist world's favorite Jewish journalists! (After Daniel Pearl of course...)

    ....and abetted by the real images of Israeli settlers seizing Palestinian land and uprooting their olive groves.

    Hey Tom, that story was disproved last week; the Arabs (likely with help from International (C)Answer and ISM Trotskyites) cut off the top limbs of those olive trees for a photo-op; and previous orchards were torn down BECAUSE THE ARABS WERE USING THEM AS SNIPER'S NESTS & JUMPING-OFF POINTS TO ATTACK JEWS... but we shouldn't let the facts get in the way of your collecting a check from your Saudi backers....

    The way to reduce these fires ó which will only worsen with the growth of Muslim populations in Europe ó is by forging a solution to the Palestine issue along the lines of the Clinton plan.

    Ah yes, the Clinton plan; the plan from the man, the man with the triple legacy of meeting more with Monica than with his CIA directors, having Arafat in the WH more than any other foreign leader and doing NOTHING TO GET BIN LADEN.

    Yes, the Clinton plan that would have carved up Israel and given Arafat half of Jerusalem, AND THAT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH FOR THEM. In other words, Tom, you want to bring back a plan they already rejected. Talk about stalling for time, Tom. Why don't you just tell your Arab friends to bring back the Hudna! They just need more time to re-arm!

    Nothing would do more to extinguish this new anti-Semitism than an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal ó followed by Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, the custodian of Mecca and Medina, carrying out his promise to normalize relations with Israel once such an accord is reached.

    Tom, you must be on drugs. The Saudi initiated Roadkill / Roadcrap that you ferried to the Arabists at the U.S. State department is almost over; maybe you haven't heard, but the Arabs' karma just ran over their dogma!

    Unfortunately, right now both the House of Saud and the House of Sharon prefer to buy time by relying on police rather than political initiatives. In the long run, this won't work. Both need to take on their Wahhabis: the Muslim Wahhabi extremists who are choking Saudi Arabia's future and the Jewish Wahhabi settlers who are doing the same to Israel.

    "Jewish Wahhabi settlers"... I am sure that Tom is proud of that phrase... and it's very likely that if you google that phrase in a few weeks it will show up in hundreds if not thousands of pro-terror, anti-Israel and anti-American websites. How much longer before Tom completely joins the euro-trash left and calls us Jewish Nazis, and endorses, h"v, shooting down the "Brooklyn Settlers?"

    Time to take out the trash. To call Tom Friedman a complete moron is to do a disservice to the mentally handicapped. With articles like these he is a danger to Israel AND America. Someone in Congress needs to inquire if Tom is a registered agent of the Saudis.

    If anyone still has the hardcopy, please tell me what company's ad(s) ran next to this op-ed? They need to be informed that we don't buy products from companies that help Tom peddle the Saudi line... If we tell them loudly enough, maybe Tom will move back to Mecca where he is more comfortable.

    Bush thinks American Jewish machers back his plan.

    But since when do the liberal Bronfmans and the ultraleftists at Peace-Morons Now stand for the safety and security of Israel? (While we are wringing our hands, these leftists have mounted a concerted letter-writing effort to contact Congress and the White House telling them that Jews like you are stupid enough to believe there is a dire need for YET ANOTHER NEW ARAB TERROR STATE.

    While the leftwing media swoons over their Protocolesque Jewish/neocon/cabal fantasy in the White House, Bush listens to Colin "The Saudi's are our friends" Powell.

    Powell, who so resents us from when he was a little Shabbos Goy that the first person he acknowledged at the last AIPAC dinner was Socialist International wunderkind and Koffi Annan-buddy Shimon Peres, Peres, who can't jump fast enough to trade Jewish lives for Israeli-Arab votes. While we sit on our tuches', Powell is hinting to Bush and Karl Rove that "most Jews won't vote for you no matter how you do it, so lets keep the Saudis happy while we make up our minds how to deal with Iran; remember we have to turn Iran around without destroying their infrastructure so that this time the Russians can get paid; then Putin will stop fighting our access to the gas lines in the Caucasus... so, Mr. President, the only way this is going to happen is if we appease the Muslims..."

    SEND A FAX, MAKE A PHONE CALL NOW, BEFORE AMERICAN JEWS ARE COMPLETELY WRITTEN OFF AS SHEEP.

    A November nightmare for President Bush?

    While JewPoint and many other American Jews prefer to hope that President Bush does win reelection because he is the best hope for America, by squeezing Israel he can screw it up not only for himself but for also for America.

    President Bush, does the phrase "blowback" ring any bells? Those who can remember our support for the Afghan mujahedeen to defeat the Russians in Afghanistan ("a necessary evil...") should ask Karl Rove how your administration will explain it when this "Palestinian" state they are so excited about is allowed to purchase weapons as a sovereign nation, and when they can issue passports so their "student pilots" can come here for "take-off only school." Are you willing to gamble they will only "fly" to Tel Aviv? Mr. President, your mission is to protect Israel in order to protect America.

    Mr. President, you're not a lock in 2004. A further declining economy and G-d forbid, one of your staffers gets caught in a scandal and you are going to need every vote you can get; especially those of Republican Jews, both religious and secular (and the disaffected Democratic Jewish voters who we have all heard confessing they were glad Gore lost).

    We know you value loyalty, President Bush, and we have stuck with you while we were blamed for 9/11, and while you played kissy-face with CAIR and other supporters of Hamas and Islamic Jihad even as they and the Puchananites joined forces with the PLO flag-carrying leftists and blamed us for the liberation of Iraq.

    But now when we dare argue over White House policy with Israel, we are told to "get back in line."

    We have no more need to stay "in line" than the millions of American backers of the 2nd Amendment who are pressuring you on the Assault Weapons Ban. Or the millions of Christians who are concerned with your position on abortion and homosexuality.

    President Bush, "he who is merciful to the cruel winds up being cruel to the merciful":

    STOP PRESSURING ISRAEL; no more concessions without total elimination of Hamas, Hesballah and Fatah.

    Copy and paste any of this text and fax the White House and Republican National Committee today.

    Mr. President, EXACTLY WHICH JEWS DO YOU THINK VOTED FOR YOU LAST TIME AND WANT TO VOTE FOR AND CONTRIBUTE TO YOU AND LOCAL REPUBLICANS IN THE NEXT ELECTIONS?

    It was and should be those of us Jews who understand, along with Tom DeLay, Dick Armey, Newt Gingrich, Donald Rumsfeld et al that ISRAEL'S SECURITY is what guarantees America's!

    But after you said no new Arab leadership with bloody hands, you had Powell stuff Abbas down our throats, the same Abbas who financed the Munich Olympic attacks and NEVER RENOUNCED the PLO's phased plan for the destruction of Israel.

    Mr. President, you have said that Israel's security as America's ally was paramount; but now you send Powell to cut Jerusalem in half and force Israel back to the pre 1967 Auschwitz lines which members of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff have said are indefensible and will only lead to the destruction of Israel.

    Mr. President, maybe you have enough support banked for 2004 that you don't care if Republican Jews sit out the election. But what about the million Jewish Democrats who since 9/11 have been quietly whispering "thank G-d Bush won, Gore would have surrendered America ALONG with Israel..." You think you can get them to secretly pull the Republican lever in 2004 when, G-d forbid, Jewish blood is flowing in the streets as your mideast-peace-at-any-price-to-Israel-legacy comes aborning with an AK in one hand and a homicide belt in the other? Has Powell lied to you and told you that Fatah et al will be pacified in time for your next election?

    Mr President, we respect you for turning away from Arafat, we respect you for the strength and dignity you have brought to the Oval Office, we are grateful to you for destroying Saddam Hussein, enemy of America and Israel, but Mr. President, IN THE WEEK THAT COLIN POWELL VISITED Israel, there were a homicide bombing in Tel Aviv 50 yards from the U.S. Consulate, 2 road killings of Israelis by members of Fatah controlled by your "new" Prime Minister, 3 al Queda attacks in Saudi Arabia, and 3 bombings in Pakistan.

    Mr. President, there is a pattern here: when you reward terrorists, THEY GIVE YOU MORE TERRORISM.

    Mr. President, while you are arm-twisting PM. Sharon to bend over to Russia, the EU and the UN (all such big allies of the U.S.), your own State Department representative William Burns was meeting with ultra-leftwing terrorist supporting groups telling them how to destroy the alliance between Christian and Jewish supporters of the Republican party.

    Mr. President, there is a pattern here: even as you rightfully led the destruction of a major terror, your ENEMIES have hoodwinked you into the creation of ANOTHER full blown state sponsor of terrorism.

    Mr. President, please tell us why we have a need for another artificially created ARAB STATE whose population danced with joy on 9/11?

    Mr. President, we humbly submit that America can now do what it wants to bring democracy and free markets to Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iran WITHOUT insuring the destruction of Israel, America's ONLY consistent ally.

    Mr. President, we applaud your efforts to help bring peace to the Middle East, not only for it's benefits to Israel, but most assuredly for it's benefit to the U.S.

    But could you please explain to the American people, given all the above, as America rightfully finishes destroying the terrorist regime of Saddam Hussein, why is your administration so eagerly pressing forward to create ANOTHER TERRORIST REGIME in the bosom of America's strongest ally in the Middle East?

    G-d to Host New Reality TV Show;
    Entitled "Life"

    New York ó In a smashing blow to the mainstream television networks, HBO is planning on launching its own new original reality TV series to be hosted by G-d Himself, bangitout.com has learned.

    The program, which will air indefinitely, will be called ìLife.î

    ìWe had to make a lot of calls and pull a lot of strings to convince God to do this powerful event,î said Fred Silverpants, a chief HBO executive, who admitted that ìSopranosî star James Gandolfini was first offered the top spot.

    What Ari Fleischer should be saying in the White House press briefing:



    "The reason we are not going to respond to your baiting questions on "timetables, progress and expectations" and why we are NOT going to comment on whether the Iraqi Fedayeen (who are shooting women and children in the back) "has surprisingly "more fight" than we expected..."


    IS BECAUSE THE WHITE HOUSE, UNLIKE MANY OF THE "SENIOR" JOURNALISTS OF THE MAJOR NETWORKS, IS NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF ENCOURAGING IRAQI'S TO PUT UP STIFFER RESISTANCE.


    What we can tell you traitors is that Americans have been writing to the White House every day to tell us they will be boycotting YOUR advertisers because of your pro-Iraqi anti-U.S. coverage."

    Who is against liberating Iraq?

    Look closely at this photo accompanying Ira Rifkin's 2/19/03 Restraint vs. Retaliation in Jewsweek.

    Jewsweek's caption reads: SIGN OF THE TIMES: A man holds a sign depicting U.S. President George W. Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, during a rally and march by Israelis and Palestinians protesting a possible US-led war against Iraq, in Tel Aviv, Israel, Saturday, Feb. 15, 2003. The sign reads: Stop this crazy war.

    Look closely at the upper left corner of the protest sign in the photo (yes, to the right of the boob holding the Red Communist Flag). Ulpan Aleph students should be able to read it; that's the sticker for the Israeli/Arab Communist party "Hadash". More "friends" of America and Israel...

    Ok, we read our email: Why do some liberals, artists & women approve of Iraq's gulag?

    Excerpted from How Many People Has Saddam Killed? By John F. Burns in the January 27, 2003 New York Times.

    "Enemies of the state" are eliminated, and their spouses, adult children and even cousins are often tortured and killed along with them...

    ... The terror is self-compounding, with the state's power reinforced by stories that relatives of the victims pale to tell — of fingernail-extracting, eye-gouging, genital-shocking and bucket-drowning. Secret police rape prisoners' wives and daughters to force confessions and denunciations. There are assassinations, in Iraq and abroad, and, ultimately, the gallows, the firing squads and the pistol shots to the head...

    ... Casualties from Iraq's gulag are harder to estimate. Accounts collected by Western human rights groups from Iraqi ZmigrZs and defectors have suggested that the number of those who have "disappeared" into the hands of the secret police, never to be heard from again, could be 200,000. As long as Mr. Hussein remains in power, figures like these will be uncheckable, but the huge toll is palpable nonetheless...

    ... "You have killed me, and killed my family," one minder said after a photographer for The New York Times made unauthorized photographs of an exhibition of statues of the Iraqi dictator during a November visit to Baghdad's College of Fine Arts.
    .... More recently, according to Iraqis who fled to Jordan and other neighboring countries, scores of women have been executed under a new twist in a "return to faith" campaign proclaimed by Mr. Hussein. Aimed at bolstering his support across the Islamic world, the campaign led early on to a ban on drinking alcohol in public. Then, some time in the last two years, it widened to include the public killing of accused prostitutes...

    ... Often, the executions have been carried out by the Fedayeen Saddam, a paramilitary group headed by Mr. Hussein's oldest son, 38-year-old Uday. These men, masked and clad in black, make the women kneel in busy city squares, along crowded sidewalks, or in neighborhood plots, then behead them with swords. The families of some victims have claimed they were innocent of any crime save that of criticizing Mr. Hussein.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Maybe some women artists and liberals can explain their vocal opposition to the liberation of Iraq. Is their hatred for President Bush, America and Israel so strong that they support the rape, mutilation and beheading of women and children?

    Sick of Hollywood's vilest venting against America and Israel? Can't manage to cancel your cable TV?


    Send this letter to Variety; they'll get the message:


    To: variety@espcomp.com

    Subject: message to Hollywood;

    Thanks Liam Neeson, for signing on to do a flick about Dr. Kinsey, and thanks for making sure that the film doesn't mention that Kinsey worked with a Nazi pedophile.

    Thanks, Sean Penn, for giving encouragement to Saddam Hussein to kill more people;

    Thanks Martin Sheen, for standing in front of communist, anarchist and pro-Islamic terrorist's flags; we really appreciated you and Susan Sarandon marching with those who would destroy America and Israel;

    And thanks George Clooney for your stupid comments about politics, and especially your zinger about Charlton Heston's alzheimers.

    I am sorry to say that I won't be seeing any of your movies or any TV production that any of you are affiliated with, EVER AGAIN.

    Please send my regards to the crews on your projects who can thank you for their lower salaries and percentages, and please feel free to forward this to the stock-holders and the Boards of Director's of the companies who are considering wasting their money on your future projects.

    PS - Be sure and let us know when you have made it to Hollywood Squares...

    From Ann Coulter's Slander - Liberal Lies About The American Right.

    "... Indeed, an attack on America by fanatical Muslims had finally provided liberals with a religion they could respect. Heretofore liberals deemed voluntary student prayers at high school football games a direct assault on the Constitution. But it was of urgent importance that Islamic terrorists being held in Guantanamo be free to practise their religion. This despite the fact that we had been repeatedly instructed that the terrorists were not practicing "true Islam..."

    [Note - I have no connection to Ann Coulter nor to the linked bookstore in the above title; I do believe it's a great book, and the store is worth supporting, as they have endured picketing by Anti-Israel morons who are miffed that the owner pulled his donations from NPR... ]

    Always tip your Shabbos goy well at the Dime-a-Dance: Powell's Manage a Quatre, aka Le Ballet "Road-Kill Juif."


    In a 01/08/03 article focussing on U.S. aid to Israel, Barry Schweid writes:

    .... "Israel probably would receive additional aid if it reached a settlement with the Palestinians,. .."
    What planet is THIS guy on? Is this indicative of how stupid Israelis are, or how stupid Americans THINK Israelis are? Under Ehud Slimfast Barak, Israel never got a dime for simultaneously running from (thus insuring Syria and Hezbollah's takeover of) Lebanon, despite promises from Clinton et al.
    Which part of "no money down, ha-ha, sorry no money later" doesn't Israel get?
    Schwied continues on the schnide with "... but the Bush administration agreed last year to put its mediation on hold until after Israel's elections."
    Either this author is deaf and stupid, or his State Department plant thinks we are: According to President Bush, U.S.-led mediation is off till ARAFAT is OUT...
    Oh, but we forgot Powell's Manage a Quatre, aka Le Ballet "Road-Kill Juif."
    How ironic that then-General Powell nancy-boyed out of Iraq because he couldn't outflank the LW media on the Kuwait City - Baghdad Highway of death, and now he's determined to turn ISRAEL into a turkey shoot with a return to indefensible 1967 borders.
    The lesson for today's Jew?
    Always tip your Shabbos goy well...you never know when he could grow up to be the Secretary of State of the U.S. AND the Playtoy of the Arab world.

    Connie Chung, CNN's Angel of Death.

    On Dec. 10, 2002, Chung juxtaposed an interview of has-been actor Mike Farrell and loser comic Janeane Garofalo (both representing 100 Hollywood no-nothings supporting Saddam against the U.S.) with an interview of the parents of three members of the U.S. Armed Forces who are being deployed to the Middle East.

    Even those readers not aware of the Gold Star Mothers program from past wars will most certainly and sadly catch Connie's disgusting and grim "drift"...

    CHUNG: All right, thank you, Mike. Mike Farrell, we thank you so much for being with us.

    Janeane, also appreciate it.

    On the other side of this debate tonight, we have two people who have a lot on the line if the U.S. attacks Iraq. William and Mary Staun have three children: Rosemarie, the oldest, is stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia, along with her husband. She's expecting to go to Kuwait next month. William is a tank gunner already deployed to Kuwait. And Peggy is in the military police at Fort Benning, Georgia. She's been told she's also heading for the Middle East soon.

    "USA Weekend" put all three on the cover, because it's so unusual for that many siblings all to head into combat. And that's also why we wanted to speak with their parents, who join us from Cincinnati.

    Mary and William Staun, thank you so much for being with us. ...

    CHUNG: Mary, there's that old tradition of putting a star out in the window for each of your children. You've done that, haven't you?

    M. STAUN: Yes.

    CHUNG: And, of course, the way it goes is, you change the color of a star if indeed there is anything untoward that happens to your children. But I know you -- is it white that's out there now?

    M. STAUN: I've got white ones.

    CHUNG: And then you change the color to gold or yellow if something...

    M. STAUN: Right.

    CHUNG: Well, you haven't bought any gold or yellow fabric, have you?

    M. STAUN: No. And I'm not going to for a long time.

    send your comments to Connie...
