US Election Politics and Empty
Promises.
For many years cheap promises have been made by both sides
of US politics during elections to Jewish voters. However, the US embassy has
still not moved to the capital of the state of Israel, Jerusalem! US law commands
it, but when politicians have cared about the law, when Jews are concerned!
Jewish votes are a different mater.
Democratic Party: Protecting Israel. U.S.
Senator and vice presidential nominee Joe Biden assured older Jewish voters
last Tuesday that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama would be
strong on protecting Israel, which he said is less secure now than when
President George W. Bush took office. (Israel must be allowed to conduct unrestricted
self-defense against the enemies at any time, as any sovereign country.
Strategic support of the US is welcomed, but not fake promises of American
protection. We can see their results in Georgia now!)
Republican Party: The party's official
election platform supports "Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel
and moving the American embassy to the undivided capital of Israel." In a
predictable 'balancing' twist it also backs a two-state solution, although
places responsibility on the Palestinian Authority (PA) to show more
cooperation. The platform also calls for fighting growing anti-Semitism,
particularly on university campuses, and an end to "unacceptable"
United Nations prejudice against Israel. (President Bush is the
member of the Republican Party. He could start the implementation of the
Republican party platform now, while he is still in the White House, starting
with the transfer of the embassy!)
UNESCO gave Jerusalem the title of ''Arab
culture capital for 2009'' - What about celebrating Jewish culture? Are Mecca and
Medina not enough for anti-Semitic international hypocrisy?
Throwing Rocks -
Arab National Sport. About 300 Arabs are rioting and throwing rocks at Border Police at
Kalandia, north of Jerusalem.
Muslims Desecrated Jewish Sacred Place. Muslims converged on the Cave of
Patriarchs in Hevron on Friday for Ramadan prayers, urinated next to Torah
scrolls and left behind Hamas flags. The Cave of the Patriarchs is the tomb of
the biblical founders of the Jewish faith, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their
wives, Sarah, Rivka, and Leah. The desecration occurred on one of the 10 days
during the year that the holy site is open only to Muslims and is closed to
Jews. (Muslims claim that
it is also their sacred place, is it?)
Food for Thought. by Steven Shamrak
If it is not deeply embedded anti-Semitism than why would
those energetic, enthusiastic and seemingly idealistic westerners vigorously
advocate and support blood-thirsty terrorist organizations like Fatah and
Hamas? They are not supporting Al Queda, are they?
Gilad is a Human
Shield for Hamas. Speaking on the 800th day of her son Gilad's captivity-assuming he is
still alive-Aviva Shalit spoke out about the continuing crisis involving his
2006 capture by Hamas. "The number of prisoners to be released in the deal
is not the issue, Gilad is the insurance policy, the human shield, of Hamas, of
the leaders of the organization - that's why they're not in a hurry."
Who Does Represent
'Palestinians'? United Nations Middle East envoy Robert Serry told pro-Fatah union
leaders last Tuesday that the dispute between Fatah and Hamas is so deep that
it prejudices the prospects for Palestinian reunification." (Fatah and Hamas may
disagree on internal politics, but both groups are united in their desire to
destroy Israel!)
Prisoner Release Has
Backfired. The release of 198 prisoners, including two with "blood on their
hands" as the "good will gesture" meant to encourage the PA
government and "strengthen the negotiations" has instead simply been
perceived as weakness and submission (PMW - Palestinian Media Watch). (The Israeli government
repeats the same stupidity, achieving the same results. Aren't we supposed to
be "clever people”? It is time to end the tradition of electing stupid
leaders!)
Enemies Within Do not
Care about Jewish Lives. An Israeli military court ordered the discharge of
Sergeant Major Louis Balut on Thursday and sentenced him to 11 years in jail
for giving sensitive military information on Israeli troop positions to
Hizbullah as part of a drug deal during the Second Lebanon War. Balut was also
convicted of holding contacts with a foreign agent between December 2007 and
February 2008. Balut was the first Christian tracker in the Israel Defense
Forces.
Quote of the Week:
"If you stand for nothing, you will fall for
anything." - Unknown - Many Jewish organizations,
including Zionist ones, are proud about their plurality and tolerance. They
provide an umbrella for a diverse range of organizations, often with completely
opposite views and ideology. Many of them are proud that they hold moderate or
mainstream views. This only means that they stay for nothing!
Arab Boy is Beaten
for Wearing Star of David. An Israeli Arab father beat his 15-year-old son for
wearing a necklace with the Star of David and associating with Jews. The
teenager also filed the complaint against his brothers. (‘Nice’ neighbours?)
ISM Leftist Jailed
for Helping Hamas. A 33-year-old Pennsylvania leftist working with the International
Solidarity Movement (ISM), Richard David Hupper, was sentenced by US court to
prison for 3 ˝ years for transferring $20,000 to Hamas. (It is time for Israel to
follow suit and stop aiding all anti-Israel terrorist entities, including the
PA and Hamas!)
Helping Enemies to
Kill Jews. Defense Minister Ehud Barak arranged for a secret transfer of 1,000
Kalashnikov rifles and 10,000 of bullets from Jordan to the Palestinian
Authority (PA). The transfer was made
against the recommendation of Shin chief Yuval Diskin. (When will stupidity end?)
Jews 'Defiling'
Jerusalem - Coordinated Muslim Incitement. In recent weeks, Muslim
leaders have been heavily focusing their efforts on inciting the their
followers over alleged Jewish "threats" to the al-Aksa Mosque on the
Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The incitement has come from the Palestinian
Authority - both Fatah and Hamas - as well as from the Arab League, from within
Israel's Arab minority, from Muslim organizations abroad, and from the al-Qaeda
terrorist group. (They did it before with the biblical tunnel in order to divert
attention from their own terror activities and contempt for peace!)
Farcical Talk
Cancelled by Assad. The Saudi Arabia-owned Alarabiya reported that Syrian President Bashar
Assad has ordered officials to cancel the fifth round of mediated by
Turkey talks with Israel.
Hypocrisy of the ‘Loaded’ Headlines:
"For first time in decades, a woman in macho
Israel is within reach of taking reins of power." - LA Times - How many female presidents
has the “macho” United States had? And the Arab pleasing, self-centered Livni
is definitely not Golda!

US Foreign Aid is
unquestionably given to many states that hate the USA! Anti-Semites do not
demand end the aid to the enemies of the United States!
Get out of the UN and give
the tax savings back to the American workers who are having to skimp and
sacrifice to pay the taxes (and for gasoline). And why are we letting these
people come to the United States? Every
time they voted against us that should be a full year that we don't give them
any monetary assistance or allow any of their people to come here!
