PLO THREATENS TO RENEGE ON OSLO ACCORD AGREEMENTS

JPOST: If talks fail, we will renege on Oslo accords, PA warns

The Palestinian Authority, which has increasingly indicated it will ask the UN for recognition of statehood, added something else to its arsenal over the weekend by hinting it would unilaterally abrogate the Oslo Accords if the peace process broke down.

“We can’t remain committed to the agreements that were signed with Israel forever,” said Yasser Abed Rabbo, a senior PLO official and an adviser to PA President Mahmoud Abbas.

“One party can’t remain committed while the other party has violated the agreements and even canceled them.”

The time could come when the Palestinians would “reconsider” their commitment to the accords, “if the Israelis continued with the same policy,” Abed Rabbo said.

The Palestinians were also considering seeking US and UN recognition of a Palestinian state on all the Palestinian territories that were captured by Israel in 1967.

Government sources in Jerusalem were unfazed by Abed Rabbo’s threat.

“We hear these sorts of things now and again from the Palestinians, that Abbas will resign, they are going to dismantle the PA, that they are going to take everything to the UN, that they are going to give up on a two state solution,” one government source said.

“But it is not serious. Everyone understands that the only way to achieve peace is through direct negotiations, everything else is not serious,” the source said.

I THINK THIS LAST COMMENT IS TRUE: IF THE PLO WANTS PEACE THEN THEY WON'T RENEGE.

THE TROUBLE IS: THEY DON'T WANT PEACE.

AND HAMAS AND HIZBALLAH NOW HAVE 60,000 MISSILES, AND THEY - AND IRAN - ARE ITCHING FOR A FIGHT.

TO AVOID THIS WE NEED TO STRIKE FIRST: AGAINST IRAN.

IF WE TAKE DOWN IRAN THEN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ AND LEBANON AND SYRIA FALL INTO PLACE.

AND ALL WE NEED TO TAME ARE THE PAKISTANIS AND THE HOUSE OF SAUD.

JUDGES IN WILDERS SHOW TRIAL REMOVED FROM CASE

Some more good news in the case of Geert Wilders (via Jihad Watch):

Judges in the hate speech trial of Dutch anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders have been ordered to step down by an independent appeals panel.

The move follows a request by Mr Wilders' lawyers who said they feared the judges were biased against him.

The legal process that began in January must now begin again with new judges. The trial itself started in October.

Here's more from Klein Verzet about how the judge, Tom Schalken, tried to do this. I don't suppose they might consider canceling the trial altogether and saving tons of money for better purposes?

TOWER HAMLETS BECOMES ISLAMIC REPUBLIC

Over in the dark hallways of Britain, news comes of a mayor elected who could further the transformation of a borough of London into another Muslim enclave (Hat tip: Jihad Watch):

Outside the Wellington Way polling station in Tower Hamlets yesterday, as at many other polling stations in the borough, people had to run a gauntlet of Lutfur Rahman supporters to reach the ballot box. As one Bengali woman voter went past them, we heard one of the Rahman army scolding her for her "immodest dress."

That incident is perhaps a tiny taste of the future for Britain's poorest borough now it has elected Mr Rahman as its first executive mayor, with almost total power over its £1 billion budget. At the count last night, one very senior figure in the Tower Hamlets Labour Party said: "It really is Britain's Islamic republic now."

For the last eight months - without complaint or challenge from Mr Rahman - this blog and newspaper have laid out his close links with a group of powerful local businessmen and with a Muslim supremacist body, the Islamic Forum of Europe (IFE) - which believes, in its own words, in transforming the "very infrastructure of society, its institutions, its culture, its political order and its creed... from ignorance to Islam." Mr Rahman has refused to deny these claims.

We have told how the borough's change from a conventional council leader to a mayoral system came about as a result of a campaign led and financed by these two groups - and how the IFE, in its words, wanted to "get one of our brothers" into the position.

We have described in detail, again without complaint or challenge by Mr Rahman, his deeply problematic two years as council leader until he was removed from that post six months ago, partly as a result of our investigations. After he secured the leadership with the help of the IFE, millions of pounds were channelled to front organisations of the IFE, a man with close links to the IFE was appointed as assistant chief executive of the council despite being unqualified for the position and the secular, white chief executive was forced out. Various efforts were made to "Islamicise" the borough. Extremist literature was stocked in Tower Hamlets' public libraries.

We have described, once more without complaint or challenge from Mr Rahman, how he signed up entire families of sham "paper" Labour members to win the party's mayoral nomination - acts which caused him to be sacked as the Labour candidate by the party's National Executive Committee.

Now, however, Mr Rahman has won as an independent - getting more than double the number of votes of the Labour candidate imposed in his place, Helal Abbas. As mayor, he will have far more power than he had as a council leader. And unlike a council leader, no-one can sack him, except the voters in four years' time.

And sadly, there may not even be a next time. There you go, that's another glimpse into the Islamic future of Britain.

Update: Pamela Geller told the NY Times that she figures that, if there's any European country that'll become Islamic first, it's Britain. This is something I've figured very possible as well, and with this municipal election, we've had another clue of the likelihood (Hat tip: The Jawa Report).

EARLY VOTING: " ... a Republican gain of +14.9% since 2008 ..."

VIA HOT AIR: EARLY VOTING IS MUCH MORE REPUBLICAN THAN THE LAST ELECTION WAS:

"...a Republican gain of +14.9% since 2008..."

THIS COULD MEAN A 75 SEAT PICK UP IN THE HOUSE - OR ABOUT 250 SEATS FOR THE GOP.

HISTORICALLY, THIS WOULD ALSO MEAN THE GOP RE-TAKES THE SENATE AND WILL CONTROL BOTH BODIES OF CONGRESS.

THIS WOULD GIVE US A CHANCE TO DEFEAT OBAMUNISM AND RE-LIBERATE THE USA!

WILL THE DEMOCRATS GET A GOTV BOOST FROM THE BIG UNIONS? NOPE.

NYTIMES:

This fall, the Democrats are looking far more than usual to organized labor’s ground troops and money to save embattled Democratic candidates, but labor’s vaunted political clout may fail to deliver — partly because so many union members and retirees, like Mr. Turosky, are angry about the economy, and partly because unions are finding it hard to surmount a deluge of Republican campaign ads.

In recent days, several unions have not just poured a record number of canvassers into the streets going door to door, they have promised record amounts of campaign spending in a last-ditch effort to counter corporate spending and limit Republican gains in House, Senate and gubernatorial races.

BECAUSE THEIR MEMBERSHIP IS PROBABLY FILLED WITH CLOSET-TEABAGGERS, I THINK THEY UNIONS WILL BE UNABLE TO SAVE THE DEMOCRATS. (AFTER ALL, MANY UNIONS HAD TO PAY UNION MEMBERS TO GO TO RALLIES.)

MORE:

The giant union of government workers, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees is promising to spend a record $66 million this year on get-out-the-vote efforts, voter education and political advertisements. That includes $16 million that the union recently took out of an emergency fund, and it comes on top of $21 million it spent last year, mainly on state and local races. The union says it has spent $17 million on broadcast advertisements so far this year.

... The A.F.L.-C.I.O. plans to spend about $50 million in this year’s campaign, while the Service Employees International Union, one of the most politically active unions, plans to spend $44 million, including $14 million already spent on advertisements.

IT'S A LOT OF MONEY, BUT IT'S TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.

ONLY RAMPANT VOTER FRAUD CAN SAVE THE DEMOCRATS NOW.

I THINK THINK THE REAL GOAL OF THE UNIONS IS TO MAKE AS MANY RACES AS POSSIBLE CLOSE ENOUGH TO STEAL!

AND I EXPECT THEY KNOW THIS TOO, AFTER ALL: IT'S HOW OBAMA AND AXELROD STOLE THE NOMINATION FROM HILARY.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN WASHINGTON STATE DOING THE JOB REAL AMERICANS WON'T DO: CANVASSING FOR DEMOCRATS.

PATTY MURRAY IS USING ILLEGAL ALIENS TO CANVASS.

YUP: THEY'RE DOING THE JOB REAL AMERICANS WON'T DO!

MORE PROOF THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF THE TAX-GETTERS: GOVERNMENT UNIONS OUTSPEND EVERYONE ELSE ON ELECTIONS

THE SEIU, AFSCME, AND THE NEA TOGETHER SPEND MORE THAN ALL THE RIGHT-OF-CENTER GROUPS.

AFSMCE ALONE IS PENDING 90 MILLION THIS CYCLE.

AND THEY SPEND IT TO DEFEND THE LEFT AND THE DEMOCRATS AND BIG GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THEIR MEMBERS ARE THE DIRECT BENEFICIARIES OF BIG GOVERNMENT.

IT'S THE AXIS OF TAXES.

SOLUTION: THE NEXT CONGRESS OUGHT TO ABOLISH UNIONS FOR GOVERNMENT WORKERS.

IF THE DEMOCRATS HOLD ON TO THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE, THENN THIS IS THE ONLY REASON WHY: RAMPANT VOTER FRAUD

UNBEFREAKINLIEVABLE!

THIS MUST BE WHY AXELROD IS OPTIMISTIC THERE'S GONNA BE AN UPSET.

I IMAGINE THAT THIS IS GOING ON IN HUNDREDS OF KEY DISTRICTS AND PRECINCTS ALL OVER THE USA.

IF THE DEMS SUCCEED IN STEALING THIS ELECTION, THEN THE ALREADY ENRAGED PUBLIC WILL REACT AND THE REACTION WILL MAKE THE IRANIAN REVOLT OVER THEIR RECENT STOLEN LOOK LIKE A CHURCH PICNIC.

SCHISM WITHIN DOJ ON VOTING RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT REVEALS THE BASIC LEFT-WIGHT SCHISM ON ENDING RACISM: REVERSE-RACISM VERSUS COLOR-BLINDNESS

WASHPOST CONFIRMS THAT WITHIN THE DOJ THERE IS A CULTURE WHICH DOESN'T WANT TO ENFORCE VOTER'S RIGHTS EQUALLY, BUT SEES IT AS A RACE-BASED REPARATION PROGRAM.

• THE LEFT CONSISTENTLY SEES REVERSE RACISM AS A CURE FOR HISTORICAL RACISM; IT'S WHY THEY SUPPORT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, QUOTAS AND EVEN REPARATIONS.

• THE RIGHT WANTS A COLOR-BLOND SOCIETY WHICH JUDGES EACH AS AN INDIVIDUAL AS, WELL ... ER, UM... AN INDIVIDUAL REGARDLESS OF RACE OR GENDER ETC.

• THE LEFT WANTS TO ENFORCE AND EQUALIZE RESULTS.

• THE RIGHT WANTS RESULTS TO BE THE RESULT OF EFFORT AND TALENT OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND NOT THE PREFERENCES OF THE STATE.

THE LEFT'S VIEW IS ANTITHETICAL TO OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES.

VOTERS SHOULD REJECT CANDIDATES WHO SUPPORT LEFTIST/ANTI-AMERICAN POLICIES LIKE REVERSE RACISM.

AND FOR LYING ABOUT IT TO THE CURRENT CONGRESS, HOLDER SHOULD BE IMPEACHED BY THE NEXT CONGRESS.

GREAT CARTOON RE: UNITED DHIMMIS, I MEAN UNITED NATIONS

VIA VLAD - WHO HAS MORE ON GOLDSTONE II:

From UNWATCH

IN A NUTSHELL, HERE'S WHY LIBERAL SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ENGINEERING IS ALWAYS A FIASCO

IT'S THE REDISTRIBUTIONISM, STUPID!

• VIA SOCIAL ENGINEERING AGENCIES LIKE FANNIE MAE, LIBERALS FORCE BANKS TO GIVE MORTGAGES TO FOLKS WHO DON'T HAVE CREDIT TO BUY A HOME ON THEIR OWN...

• BUT THEY DON'T WANT BUSINESSMEN - AND MEMBERS OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE - TO INVEST IN BUSINESSES THEY THINK COULD MAKE A PROFIT AND GROW.

THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE HOUSING BUBBLE AND THE INEVITABLE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.

THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE IN THE SOCIAL ENGINEERING RACKET.

ONE-TERM OBAMA: THE POST-PARTISAN/POST-RACIAL MODERATE WHO REALLY WASN'T THERE

IF HE HAD GOVERNED AS HE RAN, AS HE PROMISED, THEN HE AND THE DEMOCRATS WOULD BE DOING OKAY.

BUT HE GOVERNED AS HE REALLY WAS - AS WE IN THE RIGHT KNEW HIM TO BE - AS A LEFTIST.

AND THE PEOPLE ARE PISSED.

THE ONLY WAY OBAMA WON'T BE A ONE-TERM PRESIDENT IS IF HE'S IMPEACHED BEFORE FINISHING HIS ONE TERM.

Top 5 Reasons Democrats Are Scared S***less of Allen West

5. Because he destroys the extremist myth: West and the 37 other black Republicans running for national office destroy the liberal myth that the Tea Party movement is somehow racist and extremist. Hint: it's neither.

4. Because he kicks liberal ass (metaphorically speaking, of course). Like challenging Barack Obama to a debate.

3. Because he's a Constitutionalist: "The Constitution says 'promote the general welfare', not provide welfare!"

2. Because he knows the stakes: "...when you listen to that fife and drum, it hearkens me back to how this country got started. When you think about how patriots got together in taverns, when patriots got together in houses along rivers and creeks, when you think how the U.S. Marine Corps got started in a place called Tun Tavern, this is where we are right now in our country. We need to meet... and talk about restoring our liberty and fighting back against a tyrannical government."

1. Because he's got presidential mettle. He's a leader. A war hero. A Constitutionalist. He's the vanguard of a new conservative black Republican movement, possibly the first since Reconstruction. But now he needs to win his Congressional election.

Help him out. The fife and drum are sounding in the distance. You don't have to go to war, you just have to muster your support and your vote.

BRIGITTE GABRIEL FIGHTS FOR OKLAHOMA AMENDMENT TO PROHIBIT SHARI'A IN JUDICIAL LAW

FOX News (via The Jawa Report) tells that Act for America is launching a campaign to support an amendment in Oklahoma's law system to prohibit shari'a from infiltrating court rulings:

The campaign by Act! For America, founded by Lebanese American journalist Brigitte Gabriel, includes a radio ad that began airing Monday, opinion articles and robo-calls from former CIA director and Tulsa native James Woolsey urging residents to vote for the ballot initiative.

The group says the constitutional amendment will prevent the takeover of Oklahoma by Islamic extremists who want to undo America from the inside out.

"We want to make sure that the people in Oklahoma are educated about what Shariah law is all about and its ramifications," Gabriel, president and CEO of the group, told FoxNews.com. "We're not taking any chances with this initiative passing marginally. We hope it passes with great victory."

Same here. Shari'a and the US Constitution are not compatible. If you live in Oklahoma, please make sure to add your support for this initiative.

US Troops forbidden from Defending Themselves!

This is not a new rule of engagement, as a British commander, some months ago, invented a medal for soldiers that did not fire when fired on, also in Afghanistan.

PRINCE BIN TALAL'S NEW TAQQIYA

The leftist NY Times (via Big Peace) is reporting that Saudi prince al Waleed bin Talal is "opposing" the mosque at Ground Zero:

“I have been associated with this mosque in New York, but frankly speaking, I have nothing to do with it,” he said in an interview. “I’m not for putting that mosque there.”

Prince Walid offered a two-pronged explanation for why he was opposed to the project: he said out of respect for Islam, it does not belong at the proposed location because of its proximity to a strip club; and out of deference to the families of 9/11 victims who might feel antagonized, the Islamic center should not be near ground zero. “I respect all religions,” he said.

The prince’s charity, the Kingdom Foundation, has supported causes linked to the imam behind the project, Feisal Abdul Rauf, as another News Corporation outlet, The New York Post, has reported. But, he says, it does not support the Islamic center project near ground zero.”

But does it support Hamas, as Rauf does? I'm afraid this is taqqiya at its finest. If he supports some of imam Rauf's darkest dealings, why should I believe he's really against the mosque? It's just because he's worried about the controversy it's causing, that he probably didn't expect to happen, that all of a sudden he's allegedly opposing its construction. But I wouldn't be fooled so easily. Here's more about bin Talal's funding of Rauf on Raw Story and Yahoo News.

This could even tell us what to really expect of Rima Fakih, winner of the rigged Miss USA pageant this year.

Muslims Kill 60 More Muslims In Pakistan

When Muslims don't have Infidels and Jews to kill, they love to set upon each other and murder their own. Allah is, apparently, very thirsty for human blood.

From the New York Times:

Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city and financial hub, came to a standstill on Wednesday after a spasm of ethnic and political killings in the city over the past four days left more than 60 people dead. Public transport services were suspended Wednesday morning and schools and markets remained closed as a result of bloodshed the night before. At least 12 people were killed and several injured when gunmen on motorcycles entered a market in Shershah and attacked shopkeepers. In other incidents, Baloch and Pathan residents were also shot dead by gunmen.
Officials at the Edhi Foundation, a nonprofit relief organization, said at least 25 people had been killed since Tuesday night.

JIMMY CARTER: HE'S NOT FOR PEACE; HE'S ON THE OTHER SIDE

Jimmy Carter is a traitor to the USA and an anti-Semite:

(AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that Palestinians are "living in a cage" in Gaza and that the militant group Hamas must be included in all major efforts for peace.

And Israel - surrounded by 350 million Arabs - is not in a cage!?

And Hamas should be included in talks despite the fact that they aren't interested an any settlement that results in the continued existence of Israel!?

People who regard Gaza as suffering at the hands of Israel, but not at the hands of the islamo-fascist/jihadist Hamas are dupes, dopes or the enemies of liberty and the West.

The blockade is NOT causing a humanitarian crisis; there is no starvation in Gaza and no shortages of anything the PEOPLE need - only of some of the things terrorists can use to attack Israel.

Israel should no more be forced to talk to Hamas than the Chinese forced to talk to the Uighurs or the Turks forced to talk to the PKK or the Russians forced to talk with the Chechen terrorists who attacked the parliament there, or the Spanish forced to talk to ETA.

ANYONE who argues Israelis must negotiate with Hamas - but is not arguing to force any of these other nations to talk to the terrorists who attack them is therefore an antisemite and aiding and abetting the islamo-fascist enemy.

This is the same enemy who attacked us on 9/11 - and who we fight in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, the Philippines.

This is the same enemy who is threatening Europe with Mumbai-style attacks this very day.

Jimmy Carter sides with them.

He is a disgusting traitor.

BUT ARE 15 SEATS REALLY "UP FOR GRABS"? AND IF NOT, THEN I THIS JUST A PLOY TO GET DONATIONS, OR IS SOMETHING ELSE AFOOT?

• I THINK THAT OBAMA AND AXELROD AND ALL THE OTHERS KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN: THE GOP IS GOING TO GET ABOUT 75 SEATS IN THE HOUSE AND 10 IN THE SENATE.

• 10 - NOT 15.

• AND THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE SAYING "15" IS SO WHEN IT IS "10" THEY CAN ARGUE THAT THEY HELD THE LINE AND TURNED BACK A WORSE DEFEAT.

• IT'S PRE-DEBACLE SPIN

BUT SAYING THE LOSS OF BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS IS NOT A DEBACLE DOESN'T MAKE IT SO.

THE ONLY WAY THAT THE GOP TAKEOVER OF THE CONGRESS CAN BE SAID NOT TO BE A DEBACLE IS IF YOU LOOK AT IT THOUGH NON-PARTISAN EYES:

FOR THE USA, A GOP TAKEOVER OF CONGRESS IS NOT A DEBACLE; IT'S THE CALVARY!

MUSLIM AT DISNEYWORLD ATTACKS BUS DRIVER AND EVEN THROWS HIS BABY AT SAID DRIVER

You'll notice that the wife had a hijab on too. Even the disgracefully dhimmified Orlando Sentinel had to admit what happened, yet they claim that the bus driver was "put on paid leave" even though he didn't commit a violent attack (Hat tip: Atlas Shrugs):

A Walt Disney World Resort bus driver has been placed on paid leave after a physical confrontation between the driver and a guest that was captured on video and uploaded to YouTube.com.

In the video, which the YouTube poster says was shot at Disney's Hollywood Studios, a person shoves and chokes the driver of the bus in what appears to be an unprovoked attack.

According to the video description, the would-be passenger in the video was upset when the driver told him that he and his family would have to wait for another bus to take them to Epcot.

The description says the video starts in the middle of the incident, missing "the most intense part of this fight."

From the video description: "A man and his wife with her baby were waiting for the bus. There wasn't enough room on the bus so the bus driver told them he would call another one. The man was enraged and threw the baby at the bus driver. The woman got her baby and moved back away from them."

That's when the unknown cameraman started recording, the description says, capturing a brief flurry of shoving, and the passenger putting his hands around the bus driver's throat.

In the video, screams can be heard from the crowded area when the confrontation escalates. Several people in the area call for security.

After the two men are separated, the would-be passenger tells a security officer that the bus driver was blocking him and his wife from getting on.

"He see me, I was waiting here … and he tried to block me" the man says in the video. "He let everyone passing through get in first before us."

As the bus driver begins to tell his side of the story, the man interrupts. "We have a baby, you know," he says. "We're supposed to get the priorities."

A Disney spokeswoman said the bus driver had been placed on paid leave while the company reviews the incident.

Oh? If the following posting on one of the Disney company's forums is any indication, that wasn't what happened at all:

I work for bus operations and the entire incident was caught on the security cameras. Every load zone has a high def camera that sees the bus and load zone. We can actually zoom in with the cameras and read the drivers name and his hometown on his name tag on their uniform. Also in the video one of the gentleman on the bus, {I wont identify him} was one of our plain clothes security officers and was in the load zone at the time and witnessed the attack. Security was called along with the OCSO,and yes it took them a few minutes to get to him. This was because the bus was in load zone C7 which is in the charter bus lot and away from the regular Resort load zones near the entrance to Hollywood Studios. If you watch the video closely you will see flashing red and blue lights illuminating the side off the bus. When the wife saw them pull up the wife took off, and tried to hide in the crowd, and left her child with the husband. Other guests identified her to security. They were then removed from the bus and load zone and taken backstage. The gentleman was then arrested and handcuffed for assault on the driver. He is also facing charges for Terrorist threat due to the assault happening on the bus, and public endangerment. They were also ejected from the resort they were staying at,and trespassed from Walt Disney World property. They will not be returning to the Happiest Place on Earth ever again. Also everyone will be happy to hear the driver was not reprimanded for the incident, and continued with his job that evening. I actually saw and talked to him last night and he is doing fine.

Also forgot to add copy of the security tape was provided to the OCSO, they are in turn forwarding it to the state attorney for possible further charges of Felony child neglect and endangerment.

And explaining the terrorism charge:

Our buses are Federal DOT Regulated just like Airplanes and Trains. It carries the same charge as if you attacked a flight crew on an airplane in flight!!! It may not stick but he was still charged with it.

That might be the case with many bus companies around the USA too.

What makes this case particularly horrific is how the man endangered his own offspring by throwing him/her at the driver. They most definitely should NOT be allowed to ever enter the entertainment park zone in Orlando ever again. And why is the Orlando Sentinel saying the driver was put on leave for something that wasn't his fault? That is just dumb.

OBAMA'S "PEACE PROCESS" TALKS HAVE OFFICIALLY COLLAPSED: ABBAS WITHDRAWS

ABBAS WON'T RENEW TALKS UNTIL THE FREEZE IS RENEWED:

In an interview broadcast Sunday evening on Channel 1 Abbas said, "When Obama became president he was the one who declared that the 'settlement construction must be stopped.' The United States says it, Europe is says it, the whole world is saying it – why should I not say it?"

... Abbas told interviewer Oded Granot "when we went to Annapolis, everyone who was present – more than 50 states – said that settlement building must be stopped. At the same time, President Bush said 'we shall carry out this mission and supervise it. We shall create a freeze committee to supervise the construction freeze in settlements.' We relied on Bush's statement and went ahead with negotiations."

ER UM, BUSH ALSO SAID AT ANNAPOLIS THAT ISRAEL HAD TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A JEWISH STATE. OBAMA SAID THE SAME IN 2007, AND THIS YEAR REITERATED IT.

BIBI HAS PUBLICLY OFFERED TO EXTEND THE FREEZE IF ABBAS AGREES WITH BUSH CIRCA 2007 AND OBAMA 2010.

BY FAILING TO ACCEPT THIS, ABBAS HAS LET THE MASK SLIP: FATAH - LIKE HAMAS - OPPOSES A JEWISH STATE, A ZIONIST STATE --- THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

AS LONG AS THE ENEMY FAILS TO ACCEPT THIS MINIMUM THRESHOLD, THERE CAN BE NO LAND DEAL, AND NO PEACE DEAL.

THE PERIODIC "PEACE PROCESS" SHAM IS ONCE AGAIN OVER.

SAUDI'S WARN FRANCE OF IMPENDING JIHADO-TERROR ATTACK

NYTIMES:

Saudi intelligence services have warned of a new terror threat from al-Qaida in Europe, "notably France," Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux said Sunday.

He said the warning of a potential attack by al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula was received "in the last few hours, few days."

Europeans were informed that "al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula was doubtless active or envisioned being active" on the "European continent, notably France," Hortefeux said during a joint TV and radio interview.

"The threat is real," he said on RTL-LCI-Le Figaro's weekly talk show.

IF THEY CARRY OUT AN ATTACK, THEN WE SHOULD RAMP UP OUR COUNTER-ATTACKS IN PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN AND... IRAN.

IF THEY CARRY OUT AN ATTACK AND WE DO NOTHING - OR FOLLOW A JURISPRUDENTIAL RESPONSE - THEN AL QAEDA IN IRAQ, YEMEN, THE SUDAN, KASHMIR, THE PHILIPPINES, AND HAMAS AND HIZBALLAH AND SYRIA AND IRAN WE ALL BE EMBOLDENED.

A GOOD AMERICAN PRESIDENT WOULD MAKE OUR ENEMIES - AND THEIR ENABLERS - FEARFUL.

OBAMA HAS ALREADY EMBOLDENED THEM; WE'VE BEEN ATTACKED HERE MORE THAN EVER: FORT HOOD, TIMES SQUARE.

WE NEED TO FIGHT BACK HARDER, NOT SET DEADLINES, NOT APPEASE AND NOT MAKE APOLOGIES.

THE FIRST STEP TO A BETTER STRONGER MORE FORWARD LEANING FOREIGN POLICY IS ELECTING A GOP CONGRESS THIS NOVEMBER.

THEN, TOSSING OBAMA OUT AND ON HIS ASS ASAP.

OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS WILL LOSE - AND DESERVE TO LOSE - BECAUSE THE SO-CALLED "STIMULUS" BILL WAS A FAILURE BY ALL MEASURES

OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS DESERVE TO BE THROWN OUT OF OFFICE BECAUSE OBAMANOMICS WAS A TOTAL FAILURE.

1 - IT WAS HUGE AND ADDED TO OUR NATIONAL DEBT AND PASSED ON A VIRTUAL PARTY-LINE VOTE.

• MODERATES AND INDEPENDENTS HATE THAT.

2 - IT WAS HUGE AND ADDED TO OUR NATIONAL DEBT AND MEMBERS DIDN'T EVEN READ WHAT WAS IN IT.

• INDEPENDENTS AND EVERYONE RIGHT-OF-CENTER HATRED THAT.

3 - IT WAS HUGE AND ADDED TO OUR NATIONAL DEBT, BUT REQUIRED UNSAVORY ARM-TWISTING AND VOTE-BUYING OF DEMOCRATS IN ORDER TO BE PASSED.

• MODERATES AND INDEPENDENTS HATE THAT.

4- IT FAILED TO HELP THE ECONOMY: UNEMPLOYMENT IS HIGH, PERSONAL SPENDING AND BUSINESS INVESTMENT ARE LOW, AND THE DEFICITS ARE GROWING.

HERE'S THE LIBERAL DEFENSE OF OBAMANOMICS FROM THE NEW YORKER'S JAMES SUROWEICKI:

... by any reasonable measure, the $800-billion stimulus package that Congress passed in the winter of 2009 was a clear, if limited, success.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that it reduced unemployment by somewhere between 0.8 and 1.7 per cent in recent months. Economists at various Wall Street houses suggest that it boosted G.D.P. by more than two per cent.

And a recent study by Mark Zandi and Alan Blinder, economists from, respectively, Moody’s and Princeton, argues that, in the absence of the stimulus, unemployment would have risen above eleven per cent and that G.D.P. would have been almost half a trillion dollars lower.

(SUROWEICKI GOES ON TO ADMIT/EXPLAIN THAT THE STIMULUS IS MERELY A POLITICAL FAILURE, BUT BLAMES GOP PROPAGANDA, AND A DUMB ELECTORATE.)

ER, UM... REGULAR FOLKS LIKE ME READ THIS KIND OF LIBERAL DEFENSE OF OBAMANOMICS AND SAY "BULLSHIT; IT WAS A FAILURE!!!" WHY!? SIMPLE:

• THE FEDS PUT US INTO $800 BILLION MORE DEBT TO SPEND ON THINGS THEY WANTED, AND PERHAPS INCREASED THE GDP BY ONLY $400 BILLION - AND LIBERALS WANT TO CALL THAT A STIMULUS!? ER, UM... THERE'S NO MULTIPLIER THERE FOLKS; IT'S AS NET LOSS - ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT THEY SPENT IT ON POLITICAL PORK.
  

• OBAMA PROMISED IT WOULD KEEP UNEMPLOYMENT BELOW 8.9%, BUT IT DID NOT.

• OBAMA HAS NOW PUBLICLY ADMITTED THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "SHOVEL READY" PROJECT - WHICH MEANS HE KNEW IT WOULDN'T WORK BETTER THAN IT HAS AND THEREFORE ADMITS HE IS A LIAR.
  

IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAD INSTEAD JUST GIVEN ALL WORKING AMERICANS A PAYROLL TAX HOLIDAY FOR 2 YEARS IT WOULD HAVE STIMULATED THE ECONOMY MORE.

AND WE WOULD EACH HAVE SPENT OUR HARD-EARNED MONEY THE WAY WE WANTED TO - A BONUS WHICH WOULD HAVE LIFTED THE SPIRIT OF EACH OF US AND THE ENTIRE NATION.

INSTEAD, 70% OF US ARE PISSED OFF AND SCARED, AND WE'RE GONNA VOTE AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS.

• WE SAY NO TO MORE 2000 PAGE UN-READ BILLS.
• WE SAY NO TO ANYMORE PORK OR EARMARKS.
• WE SAY NO TO MORE GOVERNMENT GROWTH WITH ECONOMIC SHRINKAGE.
• WE SAY NO MORE DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED CONGRESS.

2000 Year Old Jewish Graves found in Samaria.

In a place called Aboud, on a hillside, archaeologists have found Jewish graves, cut into a series of chambers in the rock. There are frescoes too that look distinctly Greek in design. Beautiful!

R.I.P. GARY E. LEE

From the obituary in the Washington Post:

Gary E. Lee, 67, a State Department officer in Tehran who in 1979 was taken hostage by Iranian militants and braved mock executions, beatings and near starvation during 444 days in captivity, died Oct. 10 at his home in Fulton, Tex. He had cancer.

Mr. Lee was one of 52 Americans held inside the U.S. Embassy until they were released Jan. 20, 1981. Another hostage, Richard Morefield, who was U.S. consul general at the time, died Oct. 11.

[...]

Mr. Lee was kept in isolation for weeks at a time. He later told how he "made friends" with a salamander that crawled around his room and how he teased ants with a pistachio, nudging the nut along the floor to keep it out of their reach.

When the guards fed him raw chicken, he dreamed of steaming pork chops. He lost 30 pounds.

To keep himself alert, Mr. Lee designed a patio in his head to add on to his home in Falls Church.

Mr. Lee was blindfolded and beaten and subjected to three separate mock executions. He recalled imagining that he "could feel the bullets in my back."

"I bought it," Mr. Lee later told Time magazine. "I thought I was a dead man."

Upon his return home, Mr. Lee received more than 300 letters - and several cases of beer. He responded to every piece of mail.

Mr. Lee continued to work for the State Department and did not rule out working abroad again. There was one exception.

"I won't go to Iran," he said. "But I'll go anywhere else."

[...]

Mr. Lee retired to Texas after federal service. He was often seen among friends at the 301 Bar and Grill, where he sat on a stool draped in the U.S. flag.

Reached by phone at the establishment one recent afternoon, his friend Patty Asack said that the flag had been removed from Mr. Lee's usual seat at the bar and that the stool had been ceremonially tipped forward to mark his absence.

On the bar in front of Mr. Lee's spot, bartenders placed one shot glass upside down and another filled to the rim with scotch.
