Rice Warned Carter Over Hamas

But, just like everyone else on the international scene, he ignored her and went about his business.

Rice says Carter was warned against meeting with Hamas

KUWAIT CITY (AP) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tuesday the Bush administration explicitly warned former President Jimmy Carter against meeting with members of Hamas, the Palestinian faction that controls the Gaza Strip and which is regarded by the U.S. as a terror group.

Rice, attending a regional meeting on Iraq's security and future, contradicted Carter's assertions that he never got a clear signal from the State Department. Rice told reporters that the U.S. thought the visit could confuse the message that the U.S. will not deal with Hamas.

"I just don't want there to be any confusion," Rice said. "The United States is not going to deal with Hamas and we had certainly told President Carter that we did not think meeting with Hamas was going to help" further a political settlement between Israel and the Palestinians.

The fact that there is a discussion at all, approved by us, between Israel and a terrorist organization is pathetic. But, of course, Carter and everyone else, continues to be played by these beasts.

Carter said top Hamas leaders told him during seven hours of talks in Damascus over the weekend that they are willing to live next to Israel [well heck yeah, it's so much easier to kill Jews when you're right next to them!], but a top Hamas official said the group would never outright recognize the Jewish state...

Carter won no specific concessions from Hamas. He defended his trip during remarks Monday in Jerusalem. He said he failed to convince the top Hamas boss, Khaled Mashaal, that he could gain international goodwill if he stopped rocket fire on Israel for one month.

"I did the best I could," Carter said. "They turned me down, and I think they're wrong."

Hey, Khaled, if you just stop murdering Jews for a month, and then go right back to it, everyone will feel so much better! And isn't it nice that Carter feels the need to make sure everyone knows that the keep-killing-innocent-people agenda of Hamas is "wrong." Because, you know, I'm sure Carter feels it's important for people to not think that killing Jews is a good thing. I suppose because in his depraved world to kill or not kill Jews is a such a funky gray moral area.

Jimmy Carter Finally At Home

Carter's found brotherhood with Jew-hating terrorists for quite some time. This Cox & Forkum cartoon is from 2006.

In Syria, in bed with mass-murdering terrorists. Oh, keep in mind either Obama or Clinton will give this terrorist appeaser a role in a new Democrat admin. Perhaps Secretary of State? Ambassador to the UN? Nominated for the Supreme Court? National Security Advisor? Consider whom a candidate will surround himself with when deciding who to vote for. After all, Obama at least knows appointing Farrakhan to cabinet position would be bad (I know that's a leap) so why not Carter, the second-best choice when it comes to malicious, self-obsessed MalNar Jew-haters?

Former US president Carter in Syria for talks with Hamas supremo

Former US president Jimmy Carter met Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Friday on the latest stop of a regional tour dominated by impending talks with the exiled leader of Hamas.

Carter held talks with Assad before preparing to defy US and Israeli opposition by meeting with the Damascus-based Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal.

Details on the meeting with Assad were not immediately available, but Carter's spokesman Rick Jafculca told AFP that the two were to discuss the peace process.

"The meeting between Carter and Meshaal will mainly focus on the Palestinian cause and means to deal with the Israeli occupation and its sanctions on the Palestinian people," senior Hamas official Mohammed Nasr told AFP.

How can this sort of 'meeting' not be considered a conspiracy to commit murder, especially when meeting with a death squad whose goal it is to wipe Israel off the map and kill Jews, and your goal is to discuss the "means to deal with the Israeli occupation"?

Purim

A post by Maynard; bumped from 2007

This has been the week of the annual commemoration of Purim (pronounced POOR-im), which is a Jewish celebration of the events in the Bible's Book of Esther.

A short description of the background of Purim is here. I recently noted the 2006 movie, One Night with the King, which dramatized the tale.

The story is set in Persia (Iran!), and the villain is Haman, an evil advisor to the King who contrives to have all the Jews of the kingdom killed. Ultimately the plot is thwarted, and Haman is hanged. "Haman" is a name that lives on in infamy, much like "Hitler".

I'll mention a couple interesting of specific details. One is that the Book of Esther is unusual in that it doesn't specifically mention God, nor are there any instances of overt divine intervention. Rather, the story plays out in a logical way. We may read into this that the will of God may come about through subtle means. Not everything He does is as dramatic as the parting of the Red Sea.

In Esther 8, the King issues an edict to save the Jews from Haman's plan. But there was a problem to be overcome:

5 "If it pleases the king," [Esther] said, "and if he regards me with favor and thinks it the right thing to do, and if he is pleased with me, let an order be written overruling the dispatches that Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, devised and wrote to destroy the Jews in all the king's provinces.

6 For how can I bear to see disaster fall on my people? How can I bear to see the destruction of my family?"

7 King Xerxes replied to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, "Because Haman attacked the Jews, I have given his estate to Esther, and they have hanged him on the gallows.

8 Now write another decree in the king's name in behalf of the Jews as seems best to you, and seal it with the king's signet ring — for no document written in the king's name and sealed with his ring can be revoked."

In other words, for technical and legalistic reasons, the King's earlier order authorizing the murder of the Jews could not be revoked. So the King cleverly issued a proclamation which would effectively block the implementation of the earlier orders without actually revoking them. The King issued this special authorization to the Jews:

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Of course I'm kidding on that point. Sort of. But the reality is quite similar. The King authorized the Jews to defend themselves with deadly force against anyone who came against them. The actual Bible quote is this:

11 The king's edict granted the Jews in every city the right to assemble and protect themselves; to destroy, kill and annihilate any armed force of any nationality or province that might attack them and their women and children; and to plunder the property of their enemies.

And you know what happened? The people who were going to kill the Jews decided to let them live. In fact:

17 In every province and in every city, wherever the edict of the king went, there was joy and gladness among the Jews, with feasting and celebrating. And many people of other nationalities became Jews because fear of the Jews had seized them.

So aside from everything else, you now have the Biblical derivation of the Second Amendment.

Obama and His Racist, America-Hating "Pastor"

The very cozy Obama and Wright.

**Television programming note**: Gateway Pundit is noting that Major Garrett will have Barack Obama tonight on Hannity & Colmes/Fox News to discuss the Wright situation. They also have the full collection of Wright video spew. Perhaps now we know the real reason the Obama campaign has been desperate to paint Hillary and her supporters as 'racist'--to distract from their own ugly, racist underbelly.

After working feverishly to ignore the extraordinary racist, hate-filled comments by Barack Hussein Obama's "pastor", Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., they finally have been forced to admit he exist. Initially, Obama refused to outright condemn comments that ranged from urging black Americans to sing "God damn America," to proposing the theory that America engineered the AIDS virus to genocide people of color and deliberately distributes drugs to me of color, and that America is a terrorist nation. When you hear these remarkably paranoid assertions Michelle Obama's paranoid and America-hating rants make a lot more sense. After all, this is the man who has been Obama's mentor for 20 years, married the Obamas, and baptized their daughters (which means those two bright little girls are exposed to this racist, hate-based insanity.

Ron Kessler, who is associated with the McCain campaign, provided an opinion piece in today's WSJ, the first national newspaper to address this remarkable relationship between the leading Democrat candidate and a hate-monger:

Obama and the Minister

In a sermon delivered at Howard University, Barack Obama's longtime minister, friend and adviser blamed America for starting the AIDS virus, training professional killers, importing drugs and creating a racist society that would never elect a black candidate president.

The Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., pastor of Mr. Obama's Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, gave the sermon at the school's Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel in Washington on Jan. 15, 2006...Mr. Wright thundered on: "America is still the No. 1 killer in the world. . . . We are deeply involved in the importing of drugs, the exporting of guns, and the training of professional killers . . . We bombed Cambodia, Iraq and Nicaragua, killing women and children while trying to get public opinion turned against Castro and Ghadhafi . . . We put [Nelson] Mandela in prison and supported apartheid the whole 27 years he was there. We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God." [...]

As for Mr. Wright's repeated comments blaming America for the 9/11 attacks because of what Mr. Wright calls its racist and violent policies, Mr. Obama has said it sounds as if the minister was trying to be "provocative."

Hearing Mr. Wright's venomous and paranoid denunciations of this country, the vast majority of Americans would walk out. Instead, Mr. Obama and his wife Michelle have presumably sat through numerous similar sermons by Mr. Wright.

Indeed, Mr. Obama has described Mr. Wright as his "sounding board" during the two decades he has known him. Mr. Obama has said he found religion through the minister in the 1980s. He joined the church in 1991 and walked down the aisle in a formal commitment of faith.

The title of Mr. Obama's bestseller "The Audacity of Hope" comes from one of Wright's sermons. Mr. Wright is one of the first people Mr. Obama thanked after his election to the Senate in 2004. Mr. Obama consulted Mr. Wright before deciding to run for president. He prayed privately with Mr. Wright before announcing his candidacy last year.

Mr. Obama obviously would not choose to belong to Mr. Wright's church and seek his advice unless he agreed with at least some of his views. In light of Mr. Wright's perspective, Michelle Obama's comment that she feels proud of America for the first time in her adult life makes perfect sense.

The WSJ piece follows ABC News and their coverage of Wright stating we were to blame for 9/11 and that blacks should condemn the United States. Finally, of Obama and his racist mentor. Finally, Obama responds with a little fluff piece, on the lefty hate blog Huffington Post of all places, which once again waxes on about how great the 'pastor' is but Obama rejects his comments. He skips over the intense relationship they have, including the fact that it was Wright with whom Obama consulted when he was deciding whether or not to run for president, and then "prayed" with him as he decided to do so. Obama also thanked Wright prominently when he first won his senate seat. Yet Obama claims, absurdly, that Wright was never a mentor, and that he never, ever heard this man say anything at all ever close to what has been revealed in the past few weeks.
Yeah, sure.

This last week has been rather priceless--here we have Obama and his minions still pushing the absurdity of the entire Hillary campaign as racist, including the smear against Geraldine Ferraro. Ferraro leaves the Clinton campaign, and HiIllary apologizes to every black person on Earth for everything that ever happened. Yet the stench of racism and hate emanates from only one place--the Barack Obama campaign, his closest friend and adviser, and arguably from Obama himself and his wife. Yet no one has apologized. In fact, big news has been made of the fact thatWright stepped down from one Obama campaign position he held yet the Obama campaign insists he will stay on as a "spirtual adviser." I guess that would be the Racist, Hate America First fort of spirituality.

The next question needs to be, does Hillary and Co. have what it takes to demand an apology from Obama and his minions for the racism and hate they've been spewing? Will she demand Obama apologize for Wright, and that Wright be banished from his campaign entirely? If she doesn't have the cajones to face down a bunch of political thugs and a depraved, paranoid, how can we expect her to deal with the world's tyrants?

This is a test for Hillary. I noted weeks ago, that with all we detest about th Clintons, it's safe to say they do not hate this country. Now we know the Obamas truly do.

Israeli Civilian Builds Retaliatory Rocket

Don't try this at home, kids!

A post by Maynard

Ever since Israel withdrew from Gaza and Hamas took over, southern Israel has been bombarded by rockets. The Israeli government is squeezed between citizens demanding the rocket fire be stopped, and other nations objecting to anything Israel might do to stop it.

Here is one man's solution:

Ashkelon resident Moshe Nissimpor decided that the best way to halt rocket fire from Gaza — in light of what he terms the government's failure to do so — is some vigilante justice.

Nissimpor developed a homemade 200-millimeter ballistic missile which he planned to launch from Ashkelon into the Gaza Strip.

"From this day onwards, we will push back to the stone age every place which dares shoot missiles into Israel's sovereign territory," he said Wednesday. "It is time the world understood Israelis' lives are not expendable."

"I'm afraid this is the only language the Palestinians understand, and this is the language in which we'll speak to them. I have many Gazan Palestinian friends who live as Hamas hostages. Once we bring an end to the rocket fire, Gaza's residents will also live in peace," he said.

Mr. Nissimpor took his rocket to town, but it was seized by police as he prepared for launch. I'm guessing that Nissimpor felt he made his point.

Jew-Hater Redgrave Funds Gitmo Terrorist Release in London

Terrorist Jamil El Banna. Something tells me he won't be applying for that mall Santa job.

Here's a blast from the past: Marxist, actor and Jew-hater Vanessa Redgrave actually made the release of this monster possible. I suppose she feels especially safe because no one in her family takes buses in Israel or in London, or eats at falafel and pizza parlors in Jerusalem. How nice for them. Why am I not surprised that she feels a protective kinship with the terrorists at Gitmo?

MalNar and Banna Benefactor Vanessa Redgrave

Ex-Guantanamo detainees freed in London

LONDON (AFP) — Two British residents just released from the US-run Guantanamo Bay prison camp were let out on bail Thursday pending extradition hearings in London, while another was freed without charge.

Jamil El Banna, 45, who spent more than four years in the camp, was detained on a European arrest warrant after arriving back Wednesday night with two other British residents from the detention centre in Cuba.

"I'm tired. I want to go home and see my children," said the long-bearded El Banna, who is wanted by authorities in Spain. Later television pictures showed him hugging his children after returning by taxi to his home. [Awww, how special considering so many men aren;t able to hug their children because they were blown up by his bosses in al-Qaida...] ...

The hearings at City of Westminster Magistrates Court were told that Spanish authorities alleged that El Banna and Deghayes were members of an Al-Qaeda cell called the Islamic Alliance...

Meanwhile, Melanie Cumberland, a lawyer for the Spanish authorities, told the court that Deghayes was "a highly committed member of Al-Qaeda" and was "willing to participate in terrorist activities."

One of the financial guarantors for the men was said to be the human rights activist and actress Vanessa Redgrave. She declined to comment on the financial backing but said outside court she was "very happy" to be able to help El Banna's family.

"Guantanamo Bay is a concentration camp. It is a disgrace that these men have been kept there all these years and today Jamil will be back home and justice has been done," she said.

Funny, it's apparently the one "concentration camp" ever in the world where the detainees gain an average of 20 pounds each, as they fight over which DVD to watch and who will be on what soccer team.

Vanessa Redgrave, human rights campaigner

And here, for a piece with Sixty Minutes, she insists she's not a Jew-hater, despite, as one example, that little dance she did with the PLO and a Kalashnikov rifle. Funny, she insists she wants to fight fascism everywhere, yet condemns America defending herself and supports those who were captured on the Afghanistan battlefield, and whom even the Spanish believe are al-Qaida terrorist operatives.

Or, as is usually the case, we have to look at what people, like Redgrave, do not what they say. There we find the truth of the matter.

The Dangerous Hypocrisy of Condi Rice

From the Wall Street Journal, a blunt assessment of the absurdity of the Annapolis Conference for Jew-Haters, Terrorists and Their Appeasers, with a special, and more than appropriate swipe at the rank hypocrisy of Condi Rice. Her actions, and this summit, only give aid and comfort to the beasts of the world.

Condi's Road to Damascus

Remember Nancy Pelosi's spring break in Damascus? Condoleezza Rice apparently does not. When the House Speaker paid Syrian strongman Bashar Assad a call back in April, President Bush denounced her for sending "mixed signals" that "lead the Assad government to believe they are part of the mainstream of the international community, when in fact they are a state sponsor of terror." Today, said sponsor of terror will take its place at the table Ms. Rice has set for the Middle Eastern conference at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.

Only at Foggy Bottom would Syria's last-minute decision to go to Annapolis be considered a diplomatic triumph. The meeting is supposed to inaugurate the resumption of high-level negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, with a view toward finalizing a deal on Palestinian statehood before the administration leaves office. On a deeper plane of geopolitical subtlety, it is supposed to bring Israel and the Arab world together in tacit alliance against Iran...

Put simply, there is nothing the U.S. can offer Mr. Assad that would seriously tempt him to alter his behavior in ways that could meaningfully advance U.S. interests or the cause of Mideast peace. Yet the fact that Ms. Rice's Syria policy is now a facsimile of Speaker Pelosi's confirms Mr. Assad's long-held view that he has nothing serious to fear from this administration.

So look out for more aggressive Syrian misbehavior in Lebanon, including the continued arming of Hezbollah; the paralysis of its political process; the assassination of anti-Syrian parliamentarians and journalists; the insertion of Sunni terrorist cells in Palestinian refugee camps, and the outright seizure of Lebanon's eastern hinterlands. Look out, too, for continued cooperation with North Korea on WMD projects: Despite Israel's September attack on an apparent nuclear facility, the AP reports that North Korean technicians are back in Syria, teaching their Arab pupils how to load chemical warheads on ballistic missiles. And don't hold your breath expecting Syria's good behavior on its Iraqi frontier to last much longer.

In the meantime, our friends the Saudis want to make sure they don't have to touch any Jews at this thing.

Israel can't be a Jewish State

A post by Maynard

It seems that Palestinians won't reopen negotiations if they have to accept the premise of an adjacent Jewish state. This position threatens to derail the upcoming Annapolis joint statement of principles, which was supposed to restart the moribund peace process.

Veteran Palestinian peace negotiator Saeb Erekat said Wednesday that "the Palestinians will never acknowledge Israel's Jewish identity." In similar vein, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salaam Fayad was quoted by Israel Radio as rejecting Olmert's demand [that the Palestinians recognize Israel as the "state of the Jews"] as unacceptable. PLO Executive Committee member Yasser Abed Rabbo also dismissed the demand, stating: "It is only a Zionist party that deals with Israel as a Jewish state, and we did not request to be a member of the international Zionism movement."

In case you needed a reminder of why the "peace process" hasn't been able to get beyond the starting gate for 60 years.

Update:The latest report has it that Annapolis is falling apart:

The Palestinians have backtracked on all understandings that were reached on a joint Israeli-Palestinian statement to be presented at the Annapolis peace conference, senior diplomatic officials were quoted as saying Sunday. According to the sources, the Palestinians have "returned to square one, to [a point that] preceded the beginning of the negotiations."

As they say, the Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

The Second Temple Wasn't There

A post by Maynard

The former mufti of Jerusalem claims there never was a Jewish temple on the Temple Mount, and so the Western Wall (the "Wailing Wall", generally accepted as a remnant of the Second Temple and one of the holiest sites of Judaism) was really part of a mosque. From a Jerusalem Post article:

"There was never a Jewish temple on Al-Aksa [the mosque compound] and there is no proof that there was ever a temple," he told The Jerusalem Post via a translator. "Because Allah is fair, he would not agree to make Al-Aksa if there were a temple there for others beforehand. The wall is not part of the Jewish temple. It is just the western wall of the mosque. There is not a single stone with any relation at all to the history of the Hebrews."

Palestinian leaders, most notably the late Yasser Arafat, have consistently denied Jewish claims to the Mount.

A summary of accepted history:

The First Temple was built by King Solomon in the 10th century BCE, and destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The Second Temple was built 70 years later, enlarged during the first century BCE by Herod, and destroyed by the Romans in the year 70. The Dome of the Rock and Al-Aksa Mosque were constructed on the Temple Mount site in the late seventh century.

Jerusalem is claimed as a Muslim holy city, but this is also a matter of historical revisionism. Jerusalem is never mentioned in the Koran (in contrast to hundreds of references in the Hebrew Bible), and it was generally ignored by Arab leaders while it was under Arab rule from 1948 to 1967.

The Temple Mount mosque was named the "Farthest Mosque" as a matter of political expediency. The Koran speaks of Mohammed's "Night Journey" on a flying horse from Mecca to the masjid al aksa (the farthest temple). However a geographic location is not specified, and many scholars consider the "farthest mosque" to be a transcendental metaphor rather than a real place. The builders of the mosque figured they could put their outlying turf on the map by giving it the name that would nail down the endpoint of Mohammed's dream. So we now face a Twilight Zone alternative history in which this is Islamic holy territory and nobody else's. During the period of Jordanian control from 1949 to 1967, Jews were denied access to the Wailing Wall (for the record, a violation of the 1949 armistice).

If I may be so bold as to editorialize...Okay, everybody is entitled to their fantasies. We'd all like to think we're richer than we are, sexier than we are, more important than we are...whatever. So I'd be happy enough to leave people with their kooky illusions as long as those kooky illusions aren't malignant. The problem with these Islamist kooky illusions is they tend to encourage acts of mass murder, and that's carrying the jest a tad too far.

Ahmadinejad Slithers Around New York

Making all the "progressives," who sadly missed the 1930s and with it their chance to invite Hitler to speeches and parties, really excited.

My favorite "progressive" apologist and defender of Ahmadinejad this morning is Juan Cole over at Salon. Here my friends, is moral relativism and nihilism manifest:

There is, in fact, remarkably little substance to the debates now raging in the United States about Ahmadinejad. His quirky personality, penchant for outrageous one-liners, and combative populism are hardly serious concerns for foreign policy. Taking potshots at a bantam cock of a populist like Ahmadinejad is actually a way of expressing another, deeper anxiety: fear of Iran's rising position as a regional power and its challenge to the American and Israeli status quo [yeah--like existence--T]. The real reason his visit is controversial is that the American right has decided the United States needs to go to war against Iran. Ahmadinejad is therefore being configured as an enemy head of state.

Just to give you a reminder of what Cole considers a quirky populist. Some choice "one-liners" from Ahmadinejad:

"Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury."

"Remove Israel before it is too late and save yourself from the fury of regional nations."

"The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of a war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land. As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map."

"If the West does not support Israel, this regime will be toppled. As it has lost its raison d' tre, Israel will be annihilated."

"Israel is a tyrannical regime that will one day will be destroyed."

"Israel is a rotten, dried tree that will be annihilated in one storm."

Personally I find Jew-hatred, threats of mass destruction, and misogyny, all hallmarks of every Islamic regime, repulsive and worthy of derision and rejection. Who knew this is why a Democrat like me would be at such odds with today's co-called "liberals."

In the meantime, the 'progressives' over at the "new, mainstream Democratic voice" website DailyKos are engaging in their own little lovefest.

And here is a list of protests for New York today, swiped from LGF:

Frontpagemag: Jimmy Carter's War Against the Jews

Over at Frontpage, David Horowitz's Terrorism Awareness Project has an excellent video providing the truth about the history of Israel, Arab terrorism and Jimmy Carter's lies about Jews and the state of Israel. It provides much needed historical background that we can all use as things continue to heat up in the Middle East.

Link to it here, but be warned, there are some graphic images of the results of terrorist violence.

Terrorist Appeasement Watch

In the last month, several powerful people here and in the UK have actually stated the civilized world should "talk to" genocidal, mass murdering terrorist group Hamas. Our world has seen, and reaped the horrific price, of appeasers before. Let our generations be the ones who finally say no to the cowards who want to do business with Evil Manifest.

Talk to Hamas or face oblivion, Blair warned

WASHINGTON: Tony Blair's efforts to revive the Middle East peace process will be doomed unless the West begins talking to the militant group Hamas, the man who is expected to informally advise the former British prime minister says.

In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph of London, Daniel Levy warned that al-Qaeda could win new supporters among disaffected Palestinians unless Hamas - regarded by Israel, the US and other Western countries as a terrorist group - is allowed "inside the tent".

Colin Powell: Quartet should find way to talk to Hamas

Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell said Thursday the international diplomatic Quartet on the Middle East should find some way to talk to Hamas.

"I don't think you can just cast them into outer darkness and try to find a solution to the problems of the region without taking to account the standing that Hamas has in the Palestinian community," Powell said in a radio interview...

"They won an election that we insisted upon having," Powell said. "And so, as unpleasant a group they may be and as distasteful as I find some of their positions, I think through some means, the Middle East Quartet… or through some means Hamas has to be engaged."

Hamas pleased with European 'U-turn'

Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip said Tuesday they were encouraged by the "positive" change in the position of some European countries toward the Islamist movement...The Hamas official welcomed "positive" changes in the position of Italy and Britain toward Hamas and called on other European countries to follow suit. He also welcomed statements by Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi, who called for negotiating with Hamas to help the movement "develop politically."

With all this rhetoric, should we be so surprised with this? And after Bush-Rice Axis of Appeasement have sent close to an additional $100 million in tax payer dollars to the goons of Fatah.

Hamas, Fatah in secret talks: Haniya aide

The Hamas movement is holding secret talks with the rival Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, a member of the dismissed Hamas government said Tuesday. The discussions are aimed at resuming the general dialogue between the two movements which are entangled in a political stand-off, after Hamas beat Fatah in deadly Gaza street battles and assumed sole control of the Gaza Strip in mid-June.

"There are local efforts and initiatives by the Arabs to bridge the gap between Hamas and Fatah but these attempts remain behind closed doors," said Ahmed Yousef, an aide to Ismail Haniya, the sacked prime minister of Hamas, who remains in de-facto control of Gaza.

Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory

The legacy of today's feminized, sissified, "sensitive" Western leaders: too afraid, too guilty, too brainwashed by the worldwide Left to finish off the barbaric enemy.

LGF reports mass murdering, Iranian death squad Hezbollah, during the Israel-Hezbollah-Lebanon war, would have surrendered in ten days had Israel (via pressure from the failed Rice-Bush Surrender Axis) not called for a cease-fire.

'Our men would surrender if the war lasted 10 more days'

"The cease-fire acted as a life jacket for the organization [at the end of the Second Lebanon War]," a Hizbullah officer said in an interview aired by Channel 10 on Tuesday.

In the interview, the unnamed officer said Hizbullah gunmen would have surrendered if the fighting last summer had continued for another 10 days...The officer shown on Channel 10 said the organization's gunmen had been running low on food and water and facing rapidly diminishing arms supplies.

And George and Condi worry about their legacy. They should, because now it centers around their helping terrorist organizations in the Middle East survive--Fatah, Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaida, Iran, Syria, etc, etc, etc. May they both be haunted by nightmares for the rest of their appeasing, deluded lives.

Not that I'm furious or anything.

U.S. Congress Slams British Academic Boycott of Israel

A post by Maynard

With all the nonsense going on, it's worth noting when Congress does the right thing.

The US House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution Wednesday afternoon condemning a British call to boycott Israeli universities.

The measure, approved 414 to 0, urged the European Union and governments around the world to reject the call by the leadership of the University and College Union of the United Kingdom to cease cooperation with Israeli institutions.

The resolution describes the "senseless" boycott as "a dangerous assault on the principles of academic freedom and open exchange" and a move that "contributes to the deligitimization and demonization of the state of Israel."...

Anti-semitism is again becoming respectable and institutionalized in Europe. Just the other day, the 800,000 member British Transport and General Workers Union voted to join the growing roster of British trade unions demanding boycotts of Israel.

Ahead of the vote, Eric McDonald, secretary of TGWU's Birmingham branch, which proposed the boycott motion, compared Israel to Nazi Germany...

During the Second Lebanon War last August, [Barry] Camfield [who is assistant general secretary of the union] spoke at an anti-Israel demonstration in central London. To a crowd waving Hizbullah flags, Camfield said Israel deliberately targeted schools, hospitals, blocks of houses and UN observers, all while "protected by the US, supported by Britain."

This is the kind of hateful garbage we expect to hear from the barbarian backwoods of the world. It's deeply disturbing to hear it echoed in the elite institutions of the West.

Thieves in the Night

A post by Maynard

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
(II Peter 3:10)

Does anybody remember Arthur Koestler? He's best known for Darkness at Noon (maybe you read it in high school?), which stands with classic anti-totalitarian books such as George Orwell's "1984".

One of Koestler's lesser-known novels, Thieves in the Night: Chronicle of an Experiment, was written in 1946. It tells the story of pre-war Palestine, when the region was under British jurisdiction in the wake of WWI (it had previously been under control of the Turks). For the moment, the world seemed set to accept a small autonomous Zionist state, as asserted in the Balfour Declaration and the League of Nations mandate. With the rise of Nazism in the 1930's, it became clear the European Jews were in peril; however the British found it politically expedient to slam the door on Jewish immigration, as declared in the infamous White Paper of 1939. Indeed, one of the Nazi justifications for the extermination of the Jews was that expulsion wasn't an option; nobody was willing to take them.

I find it useful to read books from an earlier era. Current books necessarily reflect the prejudices and agendas and implicit assumptions of the day, including the stuff that "everybody knows" that should perhaps be challenged. I appreciate a book that has stood the test of time; it will transcend petty politics and cast light on greater truths. What was going on in Palestine in the 1930's? Who was shooting at whom, and why? Koestler's novel portrays a close-up view of the volatile region. Koestler should know; there was a period when he worked on a kibbutz.

As the story opens, a small group of settlers are moving in a convoy towards the place they will build their kibbutz. Their guide gives them the background:

"The land which we are going to occupy, about fifteen hundred acres, was bought by our National Fund several years ago from an absentee Arab landowner named Zaid Effendi el Mussa, who lives in Beirut and has never seen it. It consists of a hill on which the new settlement, Ezra's Tower, will be erected, of the valley surrounding it and some pastures on nearby slopes. The hill is a mess of rocks and has not seen a plow for the last thousand years, but there are traces of ancient terracing dating back to our days. In the valley a few fields were worked by Arab tenants of Zaid Effendi's, who live in the neighboring village of Kfar Tabiyeh. They have been paid compensation amounting to about three times the value of the land so that they were able to buy better plots on the other side of their village; one of them has even built himself an ice factory in Jaffa.

"Then there is a Bedouin tribe which, without Zaid Effendi's knowledge, used to graze their camels and sheep each spring on the pastures. Their Sheikh has been paid compensation. When all this was settled, the villagers of Kfar Tabiyeh suddenly remembered that part of the hill did not belong to Zaid, but was masha'a land, that is communal property of the village. This part consists of a strip about eighty yards in width running straight to the top of the hill and cutting it in two. According to law masha'a land can only be sold with the consent of all members of the village. Kfar Tabiyeh has 563 souls disturbed over eleven hamulles or clans. The elders of each clan had to be bribed separately, and the thumb-prints of each of the 563 members obtained, including the babes' and the village idiot's. Three villagers had emigrated years ago to Syria; they had to be traced and bribed. Two were in prison, two had died abroad, but there was no documentary proof of their death; it had to be obtained. When all was finished, each square foot of the arid rock had cost the National Fund about the price of a square foot in the business centers of London or New York.

"It took two years to finish these little formalities. When they were finished, the Arab rebellion broke out. The first attempt to take possession of the place failed. The prospective settlers were received with a hail of stones from the villagers of Kfar Tabiyeh and had to give up. At the second attempt, undertaken in greater strength, they were shot at and lost two men. That was three months ago. You are making today the third attempt, and this time we shall succeed. By tonight the stockade, the watch-tower and the first living-huts will have been erected on the hill..."

Although it broadly justifies the Zionists, this is not a simplistic tale of good guys and bad guys. It wrestles with the complex characters who struggle to forge a livable pathway through murderous times. It's worth reading as both a compelling story in itself and as background to help explain the current hostilities. Ideas and leaders have come and gone, but the situation hasn't changed much.

To my surprise, I see "Thieves in the Night" is not currently in print. But this, and all books ever printed or imagined, are only a few clicks away.

British Academic Boycott of Israel

A post by Maynard

Once again, a major British organization — this time the British Union of Colleges and Universities — has voted to boycott Israel. (Read further analysis and editorial comments here and here.)

Academic anti-Semitism is more common in Europe than America, but it is not unknown here. The current UC Berkeley syllabus (your tax dollars at work!), for example, includes a course on The Politics and Poetics of Palestinian Resistance:

DESCRIPTION:This is a course on Palestinian resistance literature. It takes as its point of departure the Palestinian literature that has developed since the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, which has displaced, maimed, and killed many Palestinian people. The Israeli military occupation of historic Palestine has caused unspeakable suffering. Since the occupation, Palestinians have been fighting for their right to exist. And yet, from under the weight of this occupation, Palestinians have produced their own culture and poetry of resistance. This class will examine the history of the Palestinian resistance and the way that it is narrated by Palestinians. The instructor takes as his starting point the right of Palestinians to fight for their own self-determination.

By the way, this entry has been toned down from 2002, when the official class description included a "warning" that "conservative thinkers are encouraged to seek other sections.".

Rather than write yet another editorial on this recurring theme, I'll refer to a previous comment by Lawrence Summers, who served as President of Harvard University and Secretary of the Treasury under Bill Clinton. See his short essay on Anti-Semitism and the Academy.

Doctors Without Morals

A post by Maynard

A plot to assassinate Israel's Prime Minister Olmert and other government ministers has been foiled. Mazab Bashir, an Arab man from Gaza, moving freely on a VIP pass by the "Doctors Without Borders" organization, was intended as the primary assassin.

Duncan Mclean, head of "Doctors Without Borders" (also known as "Medecins Sans Frontieres" (MSF)), offered this comment to Israel Radio: "I don't think embarrassed would be the right word. [So what would be the right word then??] We are very sad for Bashir who has been working for us for almost six years. But we would like to make it very clear that we make a distinction between his professional work and what he does on his personal time in the sense that all our staff is hired for professional reasons and I don't think our organization can be held liable for every aspect of their life." Is it just me, or does this guy seem rather nonchalant about his role in bringing a wannabe assassin that much closer to achieving his murderous goal? He's telling us, sure, our man is a Nazi, but he passed his medical exam. Isn't this about a thousand times worse than, say, Abu Ghraib, which seemed to upset a lot of people?

The "Doctors Without Borders" website includes this page about the Palestinian territories. They are on the record as opposing the aid restrictions that Western governments have imposed in response to the election of a Palestinian terrorist government. Rather weirdly, this page seems to emphasize the Palestinian need for psychological and social care. "MSF psychologists carry out individual, family, and group therapy sessions". Yep, the answer to terrorism and suicide bombings is a big sloppy group hug. Why didn't I think that earlier?

Palestinian Rockets Rain Down on Israel

A post by Maynard

This hardly seems like new news, but it's worth keeping an eye on where things are going. In recent days, dozens of Kassam rockets have been fired from Gaza into southern Israel. The small city of Sderot has been particularly hard-hit, with many people spending their time in shelters or evacuating. Here, for example, is a report of an apartment hit by a rocket.

Israel has continued to show "restraint", maintaining the fiction of the cease-fire that has been in place since last November. But there is a limit to how much damage Israel is willing to absorb, and a "harsh response" is being contemplated.

All this sounds depressingly familiar. But step back for a moment from the immediate provocation and consider the strategic background.

Concurrent with the attacks on Israel have been the deadly struggles between Palestinian factions. In the last four days alone, battles between Hamas and Fatah have killed 41 people. Hamas, of course, is blaming everyone but themselves for this barbaric state of affairs.

The civil war complicates Israel's response. On a moral level, most of us understand that Israel would be completely justified in sending in its army to lock down the region and end the barrage. As a matter of internal politics, the local Israelis reasonably expect their government to do something. Sure, the world would cluck its tongue at the Israeli "aggression", but what else is new?

The practical problem is that a massive Israeli response is exactly what Hamas wants. From this analysis:

One of the most frustrating aspects of the recent barrage of Kassam rockets on Sderot for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is that although he knows exactly what is behind it, that knowledge doesn't help determine how to respond.

It is clear to most that these attacks are an outgrowth of the Hamas-Fatah fighting in Gaza over the last few days. They are an attempt to provoke a massive Israeli response that would both unite the Palestinians against a common enemy, and divert international attention from the chaos in Gaza.

In other words, a serious response by Israel could serve the purposes of the enemy. On the other hand, allowing Israel to remain a target in the Palestinian shooting gallery lets the Palestinians continue to murder each other, meanwhile tarnishing their international reputation and bolstering Israel for its admirable "restraint".

What's the best way to address a situation like this? This may be one of those times when, as they say, less is more.

Bush Admin Sinks to New Low on Iran

Ahmadinejad has plenty to laugh about

We have now agreed to meet and negotiate with a lunatic nation which has said publicly it seeks to wipe Israel and the United States off the map and kill every Jew on earth. In the meantime, they are the primarily funder and exporter of terrorism worldwide, and are responsible for the training and arming of terrorists who kill our soldiers in Iraq.

Our response? A coffee-klatch.

Cheney spokeswoman: U.S. willing to discuss Iraq situation with Iran

CAIRO (AP) — The U.S. said Sunday it is willing to talk to Iran if discussions deal only with Iraq, where the Bush administration says Tehran is undermining the Baghdad government and exporting deadly roadside bombs.

"We are willing to have that conversation limited to Iraq issues at the ambassador level," Vice President Dick Cheney's spokeswoman said after he met with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak...

"Iran has agreed to this (negotiation) after consultation with Iraqi officials, in order to lessen the pain of the Iraqi people, support the Iraqi government and establish security and peace in Iraq," the state-run IRNA quoted Mohammad Ali Hosseini, the foreign ministry spokesman, as saying.

That's like the Allies agreeing to meet with Hitler to "lessen the pain" of the Jews. How do we do that? Kill them faster with gas instead of bombs? Hmmm....

And Bush and Congress wonder why their disapproval ratings now match that of incompetent clown Jimmah Carter.

While the link above reflects a Newsweek poll (a magazine known for its BDS), it also doesn't mention the fact that the congressional disapproval rating is as high as Bush's. The most recent AP-Ipsos poll has both the president and congress scoring just slightly higher than Carter at his lowest, now for obvious reasons.

Do we now have to worry what damage Bush will do, a la Carter, once he's out of office?
