You must read Pamela’s video and blog report of the Stand With Israel Rally NYC OVERWHELMING. Then she called the Rush Limbaugh show and he’s even got a transcript of her Breathless Report from Pro-Israel Rally in NYC. Three cheers for Pamela!!
Mohammed Fadhil from Iraq The Model writes in the WSJ: No More Half-Solutions: Iran is the cause of chaos in Lebanon and Iraq
In spite of what we are facing here every day I find myself, just like many others, so attached to following what’s going on between Israel and Lebanon and that’s mostly because of the close resemblance between the two cases.
In both cases we see a weak government suffering to control a powerful militia that is challenging the will of the rest of the country and engaging in a proxy war making the people suffer the results of regional conflicts that in no way can benefit their country.
The other reason why I’m closely following this ongoing crisis is that the powers involved in this conflict between Lebanon and Israel are closely connected to the powers fighting in Iraq and we here believe that the battle over there will have an impact on the situation here in one way or another.
Read every word.
Via The Anchoress, A rug for President Bush
Gile was astonished when he saw the hand-knotted rug, a portrait of Bush, filled with Christian and Catholic symbolism. Filling the center of the rug is an incredible likeness of Bush, dressed in religious vestments, standing at a podium decorated with the official seal of the country and flanked by two waving American flags.
Directly above Bush is Jesus with a sacred heart and stigmata carefully knotted into the rug’s pattern. The rug also shows cherubs and, apparently in an homage to both Bush and a fallen Northern Alliance leader, two lions.
The WaPo is a mistake
Kesher Talk posts on the Holocaust revisionism at the WaPo (emphasis mine)
The greatest mistake Israel could make at the moment is to forget that Israel itself is a mistake. It is an honest mistake, a well-intentioned mistake, a mistake for which no one is culpable, but the idea of creating a nation of European Jews in an area of Arab Muslims (and some Christians) has produced a century of warfare and terrorism of the sort we are seeing now. Israel fights Hezbollah in the north and Hamas in the south, but its most formidable enemy is history itself.
First big whopper which torpedoes Cohen’s credibility, because it is an easy fact to check: Half of Israel’s Jewish population is Arab Jews, not European Jews. How come there are Arab Jews? Because they were there before the Muslims came, or before Arabs became Muslim. In fact, they were the Jews before various historical events scattered and exiled some of them, one destination being Europe. (And yes, European Jews and Arab Jews are all Jews. The tracing of Ashkenazi Jewry from their origins in Judea are clear, their holy language, religious rituals, liturgy, and even genetic markers are the same, all dating back to where Israel is now, and they all regard each other as Jews and always have. So let’s not even start with that particular nonsense.)
The earliest verifiably Jewish artifacts in Israel date to 1500 years before it was conquered by Islam. Historical documents verify that Jews were in Persia 1000 years before it was conquered by Islam, in Babylonia (later Iraq) 1000 years before it was conquered by Islam, and in Egypt (especially Alexandria) during the Roman Empire, before Egypt was conquered by Islam. Even the Koran acknowledges that Jews werer living in Arabia before Mohammed decided to create a new religion
