The coming week marks five years since the murder of
Pamela Waechter.
Who? If the name doesn't ring a
bell, here's a brief reminder: She was shot in the head by Naveed
Afzal Haq, as she tried to
crawl down a flight of stairs and escape, after Haq
shot her in the chest.
Still not jogging your memory? How about this: Waechter
was the 58-year-old director of the annual campaign of the Jewish Federation of
Seattle. Sometime around
What was Haq's motive? Well, here's an interesting clue: As he
stormed through the halls, shooting and killing, he shouted, "I'm a
Muslim-American! I'm angry at
Quite a dramatic story, no? And yet it's
not a story anybody wants to tell. Grab
the average leftist on the street -- or, certainly, on campus -- and ask him
about Rachel Corrie, the anti-Israel activist
accidentally run over by an IDF tank. I
bet he knows Corrie's story by heart; after all, our
cultural grandees never stop pushing it as a "teaching moment" about
Israeli brutality.
Likewise, gay activists turned the murder of Matthew
Shepard into a universal "teaching moment" about
But American Jews have found no "teaching
moment" in the murder of Pamela Waechter, and
the shooting of six women at work, performing the administrative tasks of the
Jewish community… (Why is Jewish blood is always cheap?
Why is Jewish leadership still gutless about exposing the true nature and
motivation of Islamic and traditional Jew-haters toward

Wearing burkas in the West is an Islamic assault on our way of

with the social networking site's administrators. Facebook
“fan pages” espousing Holocaust denial abound and appear in many languages –
English, Arabic, German, and others. And, to add insult to injury, the term
“Holocaust” has been appropriated for a number of other uses. Survivor groups
and Jewish organizations have long urged Facebook to
do something about these offensive pages – so far to no avail.

Jewish Wedding Stays
An attempt to legalise
civil marriage flopped by a lopsided margin in the Knesset as a new poll shows
that most Israelis prefer Jewish tradition in marriages. This is despite
concerted efforts in the mainstream media to give the opposite impression and
claim that the laws for orthodox marriages are opposed by most secular Jews.
Most Israelis do not define themselves as ”orthodox” but nearly two-thirds – 66
percent – of randomly chosen respondents said they probably would not marry in
a civil ceremony. Even among those classifying themselves as secular, only half
of those surveyed said they would opt for a civil marriage. (This has only
become an issue after, in violation of the law of Return, non-Jewish families

Media Bias and Double Standards
Big media has no qualms about boldly and
repeatedly labeling the Norwegian shooter as a “Christian”, even describing him
as a Christian Zionist, despite no evidence that he was any kind of devout
Christian whatsoever. Yet to this day the same vile liberal media will not
refer to the Fort Hood Jihadist as Muslim or emphasize
his Islamic motivation behind the shooting. Neither do governments report on
the Jihad attacks. Yet there was ample evidence that Hasan
was a devout Muslim who massacred our soldiers in the name of Islam. He shouted
“Allahu akbar” during the
shooting spree and wrote “soldier of allah” on his
business cards and he gave a lecture to other doctors that non-Muslims should
be beheaded, set on fire and have boiling oil poured down their throats. The
same dynamic was at work with the
Quote of the Week:
“Seize them (unbelievers)
and slay them wherever you find them: and in any case take no friends or
helpers from their ranks.”
- Sura 4:89 - Specifically in relation to
Jews, as it is mentioned in Hadith, the body of
traditions relating to Mohammed and now supplemental to the Koran: He
(Abu Hurayah) reported the messenger of Allah as
saying “The last hour will not come before the
Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, so that Jews will hide behind
stones and trees and the Stone and the tree will say, O Muslim, O servant of
God! There is a Jew behind me; come and kill him…” - Unless

Now at 18, they are highly motivated to
fight the enemy on land and sea and in the air. According to the IDF, their
motivation is identical to that of last year: 73.3% of the enlistees eligible
for combat in field units asked to serve as combat soldiers, the same
percentage as in August 2010.
Ninety-five percent of the soldiers
placed in combat had asked to serve in combat. This is a slight rise from last
August, in which that percentage was 94%. (After experiencing ‘peace’ young Israelis are ready to fight as
their grandparents did, for the future of
