WHY DO SOME ARABS CALL THEMSELVES "PALESTINIANS?

There never has been a sovereign nation state called "Palestine".

Rome conquered the Israelis and renamed the area Palestine after the enemies of the Israelis.

It wasn't sovereign and there were no Arabs there.

It was part of Byzantium after that and then changed hands a lot until it became part of the Ottoman Empire.

HERE'S THE SEQUENCE FROM WIKI:

After the fall of the ancient Kingdom of Judah, political rule was held by the following powers:

From 638-1009 the Arabs didn't call themselves Palestinians and didn't call the region Palestine.

The Ottoman Empire has it for a long time - and never called it Palestine and never called anybody loving there Palestinians. Because there was no such people, co such language, no such culture.

Here's an Ottoman map - click to embiggen:


When the Ottoman Empire was defeated in WW1, the British Empire got it and called it British Palestine.

At that time, only Jewish residents called themselves Palestinians; Arabs called themselves Arabs - and saw themselves as part of the Ummah, not any other empire.

So why do some Arabs they now refer to themselves as "Palestinian" CHOOSING to call themselves subjects of a colony!?

It's a HOAX. One of the biggest ever. Only Marxism and ANTHROPOGENIC GLOBAL WARMING are bigger hoaxes.

They call themselves this name to make it seem like the land shouod belong to them.

SMART and INFORMED people folks don't fall for this BS, and many of these folks refer to these Arabs as the FAKEISTINIANS.

BOTTOM-LINE: Giving Arabs another nation-state and calling it Palestine is appeasement, and appeasement has never brought peace.

AND ANOTHER THING:

I believe that Israel should cede Judea and Samaria to Arabs AFTER Russia cedes Chechnya and Spain cedes the Basque region and the British cede Northern Ireland and... and so on.

COME ON ALL YOU ANTISEMITIC GENTILES: LEAD BY EXAMPLE!

Christians Worry That Egypt Being Hijacked By Islamists

From Reuters:
CAIRO (Reuters) - Last January, Nazih Moussa Gerges locked up his downtown Cairo law office and joined hundreds of thousands of fellow Egyptians to demand that President Hosni Mubarak step down.

The 33-year-old Christian lawyer was back on the streets this month to press military rulers who took over after Mubarak stepped down to end a spate of sectarian attacks that have killed at least 28 people and left many afraid.

Those who camped out in Tahrir Square side by side with Muslims to call for national renewal now fear their struggle is being hijacked by ultra-conservative Salafist Islamists with no one to stop them.

"We did not risk our lives to bring Mubarak down in order to have him replaced by Salafists," Gerges said. "We want an Egypt that will be an example of democracy and freedom for the whole world."

Sectarian tensions are not new to Egypt, where Christians make up around 10 percent of the population of 80 million. But the frequency and intensity of clashes have increased since Mubarak's overthrow.

Many blame a broader weakening of law and order that began as the protests against Mubarak gathered pace and police deserted the streets. Authorities are trying to rebuild security forces to deal with increased lawlessness following mass jail breakouts.

Egypt's military rulers have vowed to punish those behind sectarian clashes, banned demonstrations outside places of worship and promised to give Christians equal rights.

But Christians say no one has been tried yet for the burning of a church in Helwan, south of Cairo, in March or for violence in the Cairo suburb of Imbaba on May 7 that left 15 people dead. At least 13 died in clashes after the Helwan incident.

The army has said 190 people will face trial over the Imbaba clashes, which began when a group of Salafists demanded to look inside a church where they suspected a female convert to Islam was being held against her will.
It is sad to sad to say, but the Christians of Egypt should have known their "revolution" would be taken over by Islamists, because THE ENTIRE COUNTRY IS FILLED WITH ISLAMISTS.

People throw this word Islamist around all the time, but what is Islamism?

According to Webster's Dictionary, Islamism is defined thusly,
a popular reform movement advocating the reordering of government and society in accordance with laws prescribed by Islam 
In February a poll of Egyptians showed that 92% of Muslims want the law to be that apostates will be stoned to death. 


You can't get any more Islamist than that.


The Egyptian Revolution was a non-starter from the beginning. 


It is only a matter of time before the Muslim Brotherhood takes over the entire country, and Egypt becomes as backward as Iran and Saudi Arabia.

LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT: IN THE ISRAELI-FATAH/HAMAS STRUGGLE, THE STATUS QUO IS CERTAINLY SUSTAINABLE

You hear that the status quo is UNSUSTAINABLE all the time.

WRONG.

The Gazan Arabs and the Arabs living in Judea and Samaria have autonomy. And Israel can defend its current borders. That's a sustainable status quo.

NEED MORE PROOF!?!? Fine; here: the Arabs' plan to unilaterally declare a state was hatched PRECISELY TO UPSET THE STATUS QUO. They need to do it in order to make the current SUSTAINABLE status collapse. That's their sole reason for planning it.

I SAY:

If the Arabs want more, then THEY have to offer Israel something it doesn't have. I don't hear any of them offering anything good. Offering to take away parts of Israel's ancient homeland ain't a plus as far as I'm concerned.

And "recognition"!?!?!? Shit: Israel EXISTS - much like the Sun or the oceans or the air we breathe. If the Arabs can't accept that then... eff em. Just because they wanna deny reality doesn't mean the West should kowtow to them. And if they attack Israel, the Israel should just WIPE THEM OUT.

Israelis are outnumbered by Arabs by like 50-to-1. Any casualties inflicted on Israeli by Arabs should be met with AT LEAST that amount of proportionality. If the Arabs don't like it then they can shove it up their burqa!

KRAUTHAMMER:
“The status quo is unsustainable,” declared Obama, “and Israel too must act boldly to advance a lasting peace.”

Israel too ? Exactly what bold steps for peace have the Palestinians taken? Israel made three radically conciliatory offers to establish a Palestinian state, withdrew from Gaza and has been trying to renew negotiations for more than two years. Meanwhile, the Gaza Palestinians have been firing rockets at Israeli towns and villages. And on the West Bank, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas turns down then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s offer, walks out of negotiations with Binyamin Netanyahu and now defies the United States by seeking not peace talks but instant statehood — without peace, without recognizing Israel — at the United Nations. And to make unmistakable this spurning of any peace process, Abbas agrees to join the openly genocidal Hamas in a unity government, which even Obama acknowledges makes negotiations impossible.

Obama’s response to this relentless Palestinian intransigence? To reward it — by abandoning the Bush assurances, legitimizing the ’67 borders and refusing to reaffirm America’s rejection of the right of return.

AS LONG AS THEY BEHAVE LIKE THIS, THE ARABS DESERVE NOTHING.

MEANWHILE. OBAMA IS DOING JUST ABOUT WHATEVER HE CAN TO HELP THEM.

AND OBAMA HAS IT WRONG: THE STATUS QUO IS SUSTAINABLE.

THE ARABS KNOW THIS AND THAT'S WHY THEY ARE PREPARED BOLDLY AND UNILATERALLY DECLARE A STATE.

THE PUSH WILL BEGIN WITH THIS JUNE'S FLOTILLA AND END IN SEPTEMBER WITH A UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY VOTE THEY WILL PROBABLY CARRY.

STAY TUNED...

MAJOR G8-USA/SAUDI DISCONNECT: AS WE AID THE ARAB SPRING, SAUDI ARABIA SPENDS TO SQUELCH IT

NYTIMES:
The kingdom is aggressively emphasizing the relative stability of monarchies, part of an effort block any dramatic shift from the authoritarian model, which would generate uncomfortable questions about the glacial pace of political and soLinkcial change at home.

... The Arab Spring began to unravel an alliance of so-called moderate Arab states, led by Saudi Arabia and Egypt, which were willing to work closely with the United States and promote peace with Israel. American support for the Arab uprisings also strained relations, prompting Saudi Arabia to split from Washington on some issues while questioning its longstanding reliance on the United States to protect its interests.

The strained Saudi posture toward Washington was outlined in a recent opinion piece by a Saudi writer in The Washington Post that suggested Riyadh was ready to go it alone because the United States had become an “unreliable partner.” But that seems at least partly a display of Saudi pique, since the oil-for-protection exchange that has defined relations between the two for the past six decades is unlikely to be replaced soon. Saudi Arabia is negotiating to buy $60 billion in advanced American weapons, and President Obama, in his speech last week demanding that Middle Eastern autocrats bow to popular demands for democracy, noticeably did not mention Saudi Arabia. The Saudi ambassador, Adel al-Jubeir, sat prominently in the front row.

THE WEST IS AIDING THE ARAB SPRING. THE G-8 JUST ANNOUNCED A BIG AID PACKAGE.

THE SAUDI ARE WAHHABISTS AND ARE FUNDAMENTALLY ANTI-WEST - NO MATTER ELSE THEY DO.

THEY ARE TO BE TRUSTED AS MUCH AS SHOULD TRUST THE PAKISTANIS AND THE TURKS - WHICH IS TO SAY NOT VERY MUCH AT ALL.

AT LEAST THEY ARE ANTI-IRAN, TOO.

150 years later, Jewish home in Old City becomes Jewish again

A house in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City has been bought by an American and become residential for Jews again.
A house dedication ceremony was held and a mezuzah was affixed on Thursday at Beit Shechter (Schechter house), located in Jerusalem’s Muslim Quarter, 150 years after the home was transferred to an Arab family when Jews had to leave the area. The house thus returned to Jewish hands.
Very likely this was during the time of the Ottoman Empire.

There was also a mezuzah slot found:
Two days earlier, as renovations were taking place inside the house, the original slot for the mezuzah was discovered.

Rabbi Shlomo Aviner, head of the Ateret Cohanim Yeshiva, the main catalyst in the home's recovery as it has been in other parts of the Muslim Quarter, was the one who affixed the mezuzah into place, following which a special dinner was held and dancing took place. The American Friends of Ateret Cohanim annual dinner will take place on June 1st in New York.
There's a video interview available at the link in the full article.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND SEES MUCH OF THE WESTERN USA BURIED UNDER "EPIC SNOWPACK"

Epic snowpack in parts of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and California is forcing many tourists to abandon the annual rites of launching their summer holidays with a camping trip. Others plan to take advantage of prolonged skiing and showshoeing this strange spring.

... "May snow depths are deeper than anything we have seen in the last 45 years,"...
IOW: AGW = TFBS.

THE REAL PURPOSE OF OBAMA'S EUROPEAN PUB CRAWL WAS ACCOMPLISHED: G8 ANNOUNCE SUPPORT FOR OBAMA'S 1967 BORDERS STATEMENT

JPOST:
The G8 called for a renewal of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians and expressed support for US President Barack Obama's peace plan, in a statement released Friday.

... "To that effect, we express our strong support for the vision of Israeli-Palestinian peace outlined by President Obama on May 19, 2011."

... The statement also called for "the easing of the situation in Gaza"
THEY DID COME OUT AGAINST ANY UNILATERAL STATEHOOD ACTION - WHICH IS GOOD, BUT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE EXPLICITLY ENDORSED OBAMA'S DECLARATION THAT THE 1967 BORDERS SHOULD BE THE BASIS OF LAND SWAPS. THIS IS THE ARAB POSITION, AND IT MEANS THEY HAVE TAKEN SIDES AND ARE NOT NEUTRAL.

AND ANOTHER THING:

HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW THE G8 MAKE NO STATEMENT ON CHECHNYA OR THE BASQUES OR NORTHERN IRELAND OR TIBET OR THE BREAK-UP OF BELGIUM. OR ANY OTHER INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT?

WHY DO THEY MEDDLE IN ISRAEL'S AFFAIRS?

WELL, AS EUROPEANS AND LEFTISTS THEY BASICALLY HATE JEWS.

AND AS COWARDS THEY APPEASE MUSLIMS.

LIKE WHEN THEY CARVED UP SERBIA TO MAKE YET ANOTHER MUSLIM STATE - KOSOVO.

THE SAD TRUTH IS: PEACE HAS NEVER BEEN ACHIEVED THROUGH APPEASEMENT.

ONLY UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER TURNS A VIOLENT FOE INTO AN ALLY.

SIGH.

IF THEY REALLY WANTED PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THEN THEY'D USE ALL NECESSARY LETHAL FORCE AND ATTACK KHADAFFY AND HAMAS AND HIZBALLAH AND ASSAD AND THE MULLAH TYRANTS IN IRAN.

ULTIMATELY, THE ROAD TO PEACE GOES THROUGH TEHRAN.

Happy Birthday, Dolores Hope

Dolores Hope, Bob Hope's widow and married to him for nearly forty years, will celebrate birthday 102 today.

Yes, she is still alive.

Wikipedia notes the following, which I found interesting:
In 1990, she was the only female entertainer allowed to perform in Saudi Arabia.
Still performing at the age of eighty-one. Amazing!

EVIDENCE THAT MUSLIMS IN EUROPE ARE USING RAPE OF EUROPEAN WOMEN AS A WEAPON OF JIHAD

OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS, EVERY SINGLE RAPE IN OSLO WAS COMMITTED BY A "NON-WESTERN FOREIGNER."

ISLAMO-MISOGYNY IS THE BIGGEST HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE IN THE WORLD -500 MILLION WOMEN ARE OPPRESSED BY IT - TREATED LIKE CHATTEL:
  • MILLIONS EACH YEAR ARE DENIED THEIR FULL HUMAN RIGHTS - LIKE JUST DRIVING A CAR,
  • MILLIONS ARE THREATENED INTO FORCED MARRIAGES EVERY YEAR,
  • TENS OF THOUSANDS MURDERED IN "HONOR KILLINGS EVERY YEAR
  • MILLIONS FORCED TO WEAR BURQAS...
  • HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS RAPED -
AND THE LEFT IS SILENT.

WHY?

BECAUSE IT IS SUPPOSEDLY A RELIGION.

ISLAM'S LONG HISTORY ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND GENOCIDE MAKES NAZISM LOOK LIKE A PARTY OF CUB SCOUTS. NO IDEOLOGY HAS KILLED MORE PEOPLE.

LIKE NAZISM, ISLAM WON'T STOP VOLUNTARILY.

WHY BUSH WAS RACIST FOR NOT VISITING NEW ORLEANS RIGHT AFTER KATRINA, BUT OBAMA ISN'T FOR FAILING TO VISIT JOPLIN...

BECAUSE BUSH LIED AND PEOPLE DIED HE HAD NO GOODWILL IN THE MEDIA, SO WHEN IT TOOK HIM A FEW DAYS TO VISIT KATRINA RAVAGED NEW ORLEANS IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE THE MEDIA CALLED HIM A RACIST WHO HATED BLACK PEOPLE.

BUT OBAMA HAS GOODWILL IN THE MEDIA BECAUSE AFTER ALL...
  • OBAMA CLOSED GITMO
  • AND REPEALED THE PATRIOT ACT
  • AND ENDED THE WAR IN IRAQ
  • AND ENDED THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN
  • AND BROUGHT THE TROOPS HOME
  • AND ENDED THE DRONE ATTACKS IN THE AF-PAK REGION AND ENDED SENSELESS KILLING OF CIVILIANS IT CAUSED,
  • AND LOWERED UNEMPLOYMENT
  • AND ENDED THE HOUSING CRISIS
  • AND HAS A TRANSPARENT ADMINISTRATION
  • AND ENDED THE BUSH TAX CUTS
  • AND OF COURSE OBAMA STOPPED THE SEAS FROM RISING, TOO.
SO OF COURSE THE MEDIA WILL CUT HIM SOME SLACK AND NOT SAY HE FAILED TO VISIT JOPLIN BECAUSE HE HATES WHITE PEOPLE.

THE WAY LIBERALS SEE IT, IF THE JEWS WOULD JUST ALL MOVE BACK INSIDE THE SO-CALLED 1967 BORDERS, THEN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD WOULD BE AT PEACE

TOO BAD THIS IS AN IDIOTIC DELUSION.

ASSHOLES LIKE JEFF GOLDBERG OF THE ATLANTIC EPITOMIZE IT; HERE'S WHAT HE WROTE TODAY:
It is astonishing that what was once so small a movement now defines what it means to be a supporter of Israel. The official position of this blog (yes, we have official positions here) is that the settlements should be fought as if there was no such thing as anti-Zionism, and anti-Zionism should be fought as if there were no such thing as the settlements. This, I think, reflects the centrist position [HA!] . A centrist on the question of Israel believes that the settlements represent a corruption of Jewish ideals, but that Israel remains the physical manifestation of a righteous cause.
JEWS LIVING IN THEIR ANCIENT HOMELAND CAN NEVER EVER BE A CORRUPTION PF JEWISH IDEALS. RATHER IT IS GOLDBERG WHO IS CORRUPT: WORSHIPPING AT THE ALTER OF THE NYTIMES, AND NOT TORAH.

BUT BEYOND THE JEWISHNESS ISSUE IS THIS: THE MIDDLE EAST WON'T BE AT PEACE WHEN THE SO-CALLED WEST BANK IS JUDENREIN, AND NEITHER WOULD THE WORLD.

ONLY LIBERAL IDIOTS THINK IT WOULD BE.

AND ANOTHER THING:

IT IS MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE AND TOTALLY HYPOCRITICAL FOR LIBERALS TO ACCEDE TO THE ARABS' DEMAND THAT A NEW PALESTINIAN STATE ON THE WEST BANK - LIKE GAZA - BE JUDENREIN/JEW-FREE -- ESPECIALLY SINCE ISRAEL IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN 15% ARAB!

THERE WILL BE NO PEACE UNTIL THE ARABS OF THE WEST BANK CAN LIVE IN PEACE WITH JEWS ON THE WEST BANK REGARDLESS OF WHAT NATION-STATE THEY LIVE IN.

NYTimes confirms: Obama negotiating with the Taliban!

UNREAL:
— American officials have met with a senior aide to the fugitive Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, at least three times in recent months in the first direct exploratory peace talks, officials in the region said.

The meetings have been facilitated by Germany and Qatar but American officials have been present at the meetings each time, meeting with Tayeb Agha, who is a close personal assistant to Mullah Omar, the officials said. Officials of the Central Intelligence Agency and the State Department have been involved in the meetings, one official said.

The meetings were first reported by the Washington Post last week and the German magazine Der Spiegel. A senior Afghan official and Western officials working in the region confirmed the reports on condition of anonymity because they were not permitted to talk to the media about the issue.

Initiated well before the killing of Osama bin Laden on May 2, the meetings represent a clear shift in the attitude of the Obama administration toward peace talks with the Taliban first signaled by a speech in February by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Western officials said. In that speech Ms. Clinton said that previous requirements for talks could be considered as “desired outcomes,” opening the way to exploratory meetings without preconditions.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE; WE SHOULD NO MORE NEGOTIATE WITH THE TALIBAN AND MULLAH OMAR THEN WITH AL QAEDA AND ZAWAHIRI.

OBAMA'S APPEASEMENT OF JIHADISTS - FROM HAMAS IN GAZA TO FATAH IN THE WEST BANK TO THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN EGYPT - IS ONLY DECREASING OUR SECURITY AND THE SECURITY OF OUR ALLIES.

Eight NATO Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan

KABUL, Afghanistan – Eight NATO soldiers were killed in Afghanistan on Thursday, seven of them in a single incident in the southern part of the country that was the deadliest involving hidden explosive devices so far this year, officials said.

The seven soldiers were part of a foot patrol and were killed in two individual improvised explosive device explosions that struck the patrol as part of the same attack, according to Major Tim James, a spokesman for NATO.

...Thursday’s attack was the deadliest involving improvised explosive devices this year, according to statistics compiled by icasualties.org, an independent reporting organization. On May 16th, four American servicemen were killed in an I.E.D. attack in Zabul province, where Afghan forces recently have taken greater responsibility for security.

Thursday was also was the worst loss of life for NATO since April 27, when eight American airmen and a civilian contractor were killed by an attacker in Afghan air force uniform at the Kabul airport. The Taliban quickly claimed responsibility.

OBAMA'S APPEASEMENT OF THE WEST'S ENEMIES - LIKE THE TALIBAN - IS SICKENING.

WE SHOULD BE DICTATING TERMS OF THEIR SURRENDER, NOT NEGOTIATING.

FLORIDA BAR DISMISSES GREIVANCE SUIT AGAINST JOHN STEMBERGER

It was first reported 6 days ago, but is still very important to write about: the Florida bar association has dismissed the greivance complaint the Muslim lawyer Omar Tarazi filed against John Stemberger, Rifqa Bary's lawyer:
On Thursday, May 19, 2011, The Florida Bar signed filed a voluntary and complete dismissal of the grievance complaint brought against Rifqa Bary's attorney, John Stemberger, who is a leading conservative Christian advocate based in Orlando, Florida. In the proposed final Report of the Referee, the judge found no ethical violations and wrote "I recommend the matter be dismissed." The Final Report of the Judge/Referee is subject to approval by the Florida Supreme Court.

Rifqa Bary was the teenage Muslim-to-Christian covert who made international news in 2009 after fleeing her parents and the radical Islamic community in Columbus, Ohio when threatened with an honor / apostate killing for her conversion. Stemberger represented Bary in the Orlando dependency case before the jurisdiction of the case was transferred to Ohio. Rifqa's legal team won her case on August 10, 2010 when they secured her dependency status away from her parents and eventually obtained her immigration standing as a permanent U.S. legal resident with a track to become a citizen in about four years.

The formal filing by The Florida Bar was a "Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice" which permanently dismisses the entire Complaint and all three of its alleged charges against Stemberger.
Stemberger himself had something to say about how bar associations in the USA are sacrificing themselves to PC-ness:
"Integrated Bar Associations around the country are slowly losing their identities as merely professional associations created to educate and regulate lawyers. Instead, many are becoming increasingly ideological and political. Additionally, many institutions of society, including bar associations, are bending over backwards to accommodate members of Islam as a new protected class. Instead of championing constitutional free speech rights, bar organizations are opting for enforcing political correctness."
This is another reason why the Republicans have got to renew the bill they tried out a few years ago to protect against frivolous lawsuits. And this is a very serious case that bar associations around the country are going out of their way to sell out American values for the sake of backwards beliefs. It's another something that needs to be tackled in debate.

PROOF THAT OBAMA HAS TAKEN THE ARABS' SIDE IN THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT

INCONTROVERTIBLE.

IT IS NO SURPRISE TO ME COMING FROM A MAN WHOSE
  • FATHER WAS A MUSLIM,
  • WHOSE STEP-FATHER WAS A MUSLIM,
  • WHO STUDIED IN A MADRASSA,
  • WHO SAID "THE MUSLIM CALL TO PRAYER ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN THE WORLD",
  • WHOSE FIRST EVER TRIP ABROAD AS A YOUNG INDEPENDENT MAN WAS TO PAKISTAN - OF ALL PLACES,
  • WHO HONORED EDWARD SAID,
  • WHO HAD A PLO SPOKESMAN - RASHID KHALIDI - BABYSIT FOR HIS CHILDREN,
  • WHO WORSHIPED UNDER JEREMIAH WRIGHT FOR 20 YEARS,
  • TRIED TO APPOINT CHARLES FREEMAN,
  • APPOINTED SAMANTHA POWER,
  • AND WORKED WITH FARRAKHAN.
NO SURPRISE AT ALL.

JEWS WHO VOTED FOR HIM SHOULD REPENT.

MORE PROOF THAT INSTAPUNDIT IS WRONG ABOUT A "HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE" AND IS BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE

PROFESSOR GLENN REYNOLDS HAS POSTED HIS BELIEF THAT THERE IS A "HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE" NEARLY 100 TIMES SINCE JANUARY.

HE IS WRONG.

RECENTLY, HE STARTED CITING THE FACT THAT COLLEGE GRADS ARE HAVING A VERY TOUGH TIME GETTING JOBS AS PROOF HE WAS RIGHT.

BUT HE IS BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE.

THE REASON COLLEGE GRADS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME IS BASED ON THE AWFUL ECONOMY AND NOT ANY BUBBLE. HERE'S SIMPLE PROOF - A CHART OF COLLEGE ENROLLMENT OVER THE LAST 4 DECADES:


AS YOU CAN SEE, ENROLLMENT ONLY WENT UP 10% OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS, AND VERY GRADUALLY.

THERE IS NO SHARP INCLINE AS ONE SEES WITH EACH AND EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY BUBBLE --- FROM TULIPS TO CRUDE OIL TO HOUSING TO "NEW ECONOMY/INTERNET" STOCKS.





THE CORRECT TREE GLENN REYNOLDS SHOULD BE BARKING UP IS THE AWFUL ECONOMY - ONE RUINED BY SOCIALISTIC POLICES:
  • THE HOUSING BUBBLE - CAUSED BY THE CRA AND FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC;
  • THE OIL BUBBLE - CAUSED BY POLICIES WHICH DETER DOMESTIC ENERGY EXPLOITATION SUCH AS OIL IN ANWR, OFF THE COAST OF CALIFORNIA AND MORE USE OF COAL;
  • OBAMACARE WHICH IS RETARDING NEW HIRING;
  • THE PORKULUS AND HUGE DEFICITS AND DEBTS THE USA HAS RACKED UP SINCE 2000.
YES, GLENN AND I AGREE:

THERE HAS BEEN OUTRAGEOUS TUITION INFLATION IN THE USA - AND THIS HAS LED TO GRADUATES HAVING HUGE DEBTS UPON GRADUATION, AND THIS IS A PROBLEM.

ESPECIALLY SO WITH THE OVERALL JOBS MARKET SO "SUCKY".

AND YES, GLENN AND I AGREE:

THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH WHAT COLLEGES TEACH - THEY TEACH TOO MUCH LIBERAL BS --- AS IN BULLSHIT - AND NOT ENOUGH USEFUL THINGS LIKE A B.S. IN ENGINEERING.

BUT THESE ARE COLLEGE MANAGEMENT ISSUES THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY IMAGINARY "HIGHER EDUCATION" BUBBLE.

NO AMOUNT OF ANECDOTAL "EVIDENCE" THAT REYNOLDS CARES TO SHARE AND NO NUMBER OF PSEUDO-EXPERTS HE CARES TO LINK TO CAN CHANGE THIS.

BY CONTINUING TO USE THE SILLY CATCH-PHRASE, GLENN OBFUSCATES THE ROOT PROBLEM - SOCIALISTIC POLICIES - AND THIS DELAYS A CURE: REDUCING THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT AND THE COST OF HIGHER EDUCATION.

I THINK GLENN FOUND A CATCHY PHRASE HE LIKES - "HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE" - AND IS MISAPPLYING IT TO A SET OF SAD FACTS WE AGREE ON, BUT WHICH HIS PHRASE DOESN'T REALLY EXPLAIN --- AND CAN'T CURE.

THE USA DOESN'T NEED FEWER COLLEGE GRADUATES.

THE USA NEEDS COLLEGE GRADUATES WITH MORE USEFUL DEGREES AND LESS DEBT.

COLLEGES NEED TO EMPHASIZE USEFUL SUBJECTS AND LOWER THEIR TUITION.

ENDING TENURE AND REFUSING TO TURN CAMPUSES INTO COUNTRY CLUBS WOULD BE TWO USEFUL STEPS.

(HMMM... PROFESSOR REYNOLDS - WHO IS TENURED - NEVER MENTIONS IT.)

A MORE ACCURATE CATCH-PHRASE TO DESCRIBE THE CURRENT CRISIS MIGHT BE: "THE COLLEGE GRAD SQUEEZE".

ISRAEL WARNS THAT EGYPT'S OPENING OF THE CROSSING INTO GAZA IS A GRAVE THREAT - HAMAS APPLAUDS IT

Israel's Vice Premier Shalom: Rafah crossing opening is a 'dangerous development'
Vice premier warns al-Qaida may smuggle weapons into Gaza; Vilna'i says opening is problematic, but Egypt did not break agreements; Hamas thanks Egypt, lauds "spirit of revolution."

Vice Premier Silvan Shalom spoke out on Thursday against the opening of the Rafah crossing from Gaza into Egypt, calling for international supervision of the crossing.

"This is a dangerous development that could lead to weapons and al-Qaida smuggling into Gaza," Shalom said.

Homeland Security Minister Matan Vilna'i also warned that the opening of the Rafah crossing will be very problematic for Israel.

However, he added in an interview with Israel Radio, that Egypt did not break any agreements with Israel.

Hamas welcomed Egypt's decision to permanently open the crossing from Gaza into Egypt.

"This decision reflects the spirit of revolution in Egypt and the depth of brotherhood between the Palestinian people and the Egyptian people, which has returned itself to its original role in the Palestinian matter," a statement released by Hamas read.
NO GOOD EVER COMES FROM SOVEREIGN GOVERNMENTS APPEASING TERRORIST GROUPS LIKE HAMAS.

ESPECIALLY NOT WHEN THE TERRORIST GROUP IS JIHADIST AND GENOCIDAL AND ON THE BORDER WITH ISRAEL.

WARNING:

I PREDICT THAT WHEN THE IDF HAS PROOF THAT EVEN MORE SERIOUS WEAPONRY HAS ENTERED GAZA, THEY WILL STRIKE WITH A FORCE NOT YET SEEN IN ANY MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT.

THIS WILL PROBABLY COME RIGHT AFTER THE ARABS DECLARE YET ANOTHER ARAB STATE - THIS TIME ONE CALLED PALESTINE, AND THIS WILL HAPPEN IN SEPTEMBER.

AND SYRIA AND IRAN AND TURKEY AND LEBANON WILL IMMEDIATELY SIGN DEFENSE PACTS WITH THIS NEW STATE.

AND WHEN ISRAEL ATTACKS, THEY AND THE ARAB LEAGUE WILL DEMAND THAT NATO DO TO ISRAEL WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO GHADAFI.

WHY ELSE WOULD THE ARABS OF GAZA AND JUDEA AND SAMARIA WANT "STATEHOOD"!?!?!? THEY ALREADY HAVE COMPLETE CIVIL AUTONOMY.

THE ONLY THING STATEHOOD GIVES ARABS IN GAZA, JUDEA AND SAMARIA IS THE RIGHT TO IMPORT WEAPONS AND SIGN MILITARY PACTS.

STAY TUNED...

NASRALLAH OPENLY ENDORSES THE MURDEROUS ASSAD

Hizbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah yesterday pledged support for the Syrian government, saying that an end to the Assad regime would only serve American and Israeli interests.

Speaking on the 11th anniversary of Liberation Day - marking the day Israeli troops withdrew from Lebanon in 2000 - the head of the Lebanese Shiite group also called for the rejection of sanctions against Syria and claimed the regime was committed to reform.

"No one denies that Syria has committed mistakes, but no one can deny the historic achievement of Syria to Lebanon, also Syria's stance on Israel and the Palestinian resistance," he said.

Mr Nasrallah again reiterated his claims that the UN-backed investigation into the assassination of the Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Hariri was politicised. His comments come after claims made earlier this week by the US president, Barack Obama, that the Lebanese Shiite group was responsible for political assassinations and car bombings. Mr Nasrallah dismissed the remarks as "US hostility" towards Hizbollah and said that Mr Obama had not just levelled accusations at the movement, but also passed "judgment about us".
IF THE WEST HAD 1/10TH THE RESOLVE AS THE GREATEST GENERATION DID WHEN THEY WERE FIGHTING A GLOBAL WAR, THEN WE'D TARGET ASSAD - AND KADDAFI AND NASRALLAH - WITH MISSILES.

THERE'S NOT A SINGLE GOOD REASON ANY ONE OF THESE 3 GENOCIDAL TYRANTS SHOULD BE ALIVE.

WHY MUST MORE REBELS IN SYRIA AND LIBYA DIE UNNECESSARILY!?

THE SUREST WAY TO TIP THE SCALES AWAY FROM THE CURRENT TYRANTS IS AND TOWARD THE REBELS TO KILL THE TYRANTS.

JUST AS WE DID OSAMA.

WHEN WE SAY NEVER AGAIN, WE MEAN IT

That's how Netanyahu put it in his awesome speech to Congress this past day. No, we do not go back to the 1967 lines.

Of course, better yet would be to consider that Fatah cannot be seen as legitimate, past, present or future, because of the Islamic hatemongering they've long embodied.

Here's the full text from the speech given by Netanyahu.

Update: see also here, here and here about a Code Pink dummy who tried to heckle him, but he was only honored by her interruption. Why don't they comprehend that to make such moonbat heckles is exactly what we would want? (And did she fake the injury she ostensibly had? Why did she have a picket-like sign as a blanket?)

Here's also more from Robert Spencer on Front Page Mag.

ITALIAN COURT INDICTS 7 GEOLOGISTS FOR FAILING TO TELL RESIDENTS TO EVACUATE AFTER DAYS OF TREMORS

A judge in the Italian town devastated by an earthquake in 2009 has ordered seven experts to face a manslaughter trial for allegedly failing to help residents decide if they should evacuate.

Corriere della Sera's Web site and other Italian media quoted the judge as saying the defendants "gave inexact, incomplete and contradictory information" about whether smaller tremors felt by L'Aquila residents for days were reason to evacuate.

THIS IS INSANE, AN OUTGROWTH OF SOCIALISM AND THE NANNYSTATE:

NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN LIVES; THEY SEEK TO BE DEPENDENT ON OTHERS AND EVEN BLAME OTHERS FOR THEIR OWN MISFORTUNES.

AWFUL.

WHAT'S NEXT: LYNCHING WEATHERMEN AFTER HURRICANES AND TORNADOES!?!?

ANALYSIS OF A POTENTIAL SPLIT WITHIN HAMAS

HERE:

Meshaal [THE LEADER OF THE HAMAS GOVERNMENT I EXILE LOCATED IN SYRIA] had said Hamas was willing to give "an additional chance" to the peace process always opposed by his group, which is deeply hostile to Israel and has routinely declared negotiations a waste of time.

Mahmoud Al-Zahar, a senior figure in the Gaza administration, said the comments had surprised the entire Hamas movement and contradicted its strategy based on armed conflict with Israel.

Meshaal was speaking in Cairo at a ceremony to launch the reconciliation agreement with the Fatah movement headed by President Mahmoud Abbas, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization that opened peace talks with Israel in 1993.

... Zahar said Hamas had never backed negotiations nor did it support anyone else negotiating on behalf of the Palestinians.

Though decisions within Hamas are supposed to be taken through consensus, Meshaal's influence is seen as overwhelming. He is seen as the channel for the political and material backing the group receives from Syria and Iran.

Experts on Hamas believe current tensions stem from the exiled leadership's surprise decision to forge the reconciliation agreement with Fatah without proper consultation with the Gaza leadership.

The unity agreement is seen as the Palestinians' response to the popular uprisings that swept former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak from power in February and have challenged the rule of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Meshaal's host since 2001.

Analysts say Hamas appeared to see reconciliation with Fatah as a way of allowing the group to build ties with Egypt's new rulers, reducing the risk of its reliance on Syria as Assad faced unprecedented mass protests.

DEMOCRAT WINS NY-26TH - PROVING MEDISCARE AND A STALKING HORSE THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE ARE STILL LETHAL TO THE GOP

The rural-suburban district between Buffalo and Rochester is one of the state's most conservative. But Corwin saw her early lead dissolve after coming out in favor of a Republican budget plan that would cut billions from Medicare, the government health plan for seniors.

With 83 percent of precincts reporting, Hochul had 48 percent of the vote, compared with 42 percent for Corwin.

THE GOP HAS TO DO A BETTER JOB OF EXPLAINING TO VOTERS THAT MEDICARE IS NOW ON AN UNSUSTAINABLE PATH AND MUST BE REFORMED OR IT WILL DISAPPEAR.

AND, THE GOP MUST KEEP A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE OFF THE BALLOT.

UNREAL: OBAMA ORDERS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO WASTE TAXPAYER DOLLARS

USA TODAY: Obama directs U.S. agencies to buy electric vehicles
President Obama speaks as he unveils the National Clean Fleets Partnership at a UPS shipping facility April 1 in Landover, Md. The five charter members of the partnership -- AT&T, FedEx, PepsiCo, UPS and Verizon -- will participate by incorporating electric vehicles, alternative fuels and fuel-saving measures into their daily operations in order to reduce diesel and gasoline use in their fleets.

President Obama directed federal agencies Tuesday to move toward buying -- by 2015 -- only alternative-fuel cars and light-duty trucks and to start with a pilot program of more than 100 electric vehicles.

WHY SHOULD THE USA TAXPAYER PAY MORE FOR THESE CARS!?!? IT MAKES NO SENSE.

EVEN IF THE USA LOWERED IT'S CO2 OUTPUT, BECAUSE CHINA'S IS GROWING SO FAST, IT WOULD HAVE NO EFFECT ON GLOBAL CO2.

NONE.

WHAT MAKES THIS AN EVEN BIGGGGGGGER WASTE IS THE FACT THAT MAN-MADE CO2 HAS NO EFFECT ON GLOBAL CLIMATE.

SCIENCE HAS PROVEN THAT IT'S TE COSMO RAYS, STUPID!

CONGRESS OUGHT TO BE BUYING USA MADE TURBODIESELS THAT ARE VERY FUEL EFFICIENT. AND CHEAPER.

Two Democratic political consultants have claimed that The Huffington Post's founders stole their blueprint for the popular news-and-views website.
Peter Daou and James Boyce claim they came up with the site's signature blend of blogs by prominent people, news aggregation, original reporting and online community-building, originally envisioned as a liberal counterpoint to such conservative-tilting sites as the Drudge Report.
In a statement, Huffington Post co-founders Arianna Huffington and Kenneth Lerer called the claims "pure fantasy."
The site has become an online colossus, built on the idea of shared effort. It has made the top 10 current events and global news sites, launched city-specific pages and developed a roster of sections such as food and books. The work of its 70-person paid staff is augmented by content from news outlets and 6,000 bloggers who write for free.
Mr Daou and Mr Boyce claim they repeatedly discussed their plan in detail with Ms Huffington and Mr Lerer in 2004 and responded to a request from them for specifics, believed they were all partners, communicated with at least one potential investor and suggested some of the celebrity contributors who ended up writing for the site.

EGYPT'S "REVOLUTION" ABOUT TURN UGLY: MUBARAK TO BE CHARGED WITH MURDER

BAD NEWS.

NYC VIOLENT CRIME RATES BUCK NATIONAL TREND, AND GO UP

In all regions, the country appears to be safer. The odds of being murdered or robbed are now less than half of what they were in the early 1990s, when violent crime peaked in the United States. Small towns, especially, are seeing far fewer murders: In cities with populations under 10,000, the number plunged by more than 25 percent last year.

The news was not as positive in New York City, however. After leading a long decline in crime rates, the city saw increases in all four types of violent lawbreaking — murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault — including a nearly 14 percent rise in murders. But data from the past few months suggest the city’s upward trend may have slowed or stopped.

THIS IS BLOOMBERG'S FAULT; HE'S DONE NO HEAVY LIFTING SINCE BECOMING MAYOR, AND HAS JUST LET THINGS DECLINE.

I WISH RUDY WOULD RUN AGAIN.

IT IS THE ARABS WHO HAVE PRECONDITIONS TO ANY TALKS WITH ISRAELIS, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

IT IS THE NON-DEMOCRATIC, TERRORIST AND TERRORIST CODDLING ARABS WHO ARE THE IMPEDIMENT TO PEACE, NOT ISRAEL.

THE ARABS NEED TO BE PRESSURED TO RE-ENTER TALKS, NOT ISRAEL.

AND EITHER HAMAS RENOUNCES TERROR AND RECOGNIZES ISRAEL OR THERE CAN BE NO TALKS.

HMMM: Explosion at Iran refinery during Ahmadinejad visit

An explosion blamed on a gas leak rocked Iran’s largest refinery Tuesday around the time of a visit to the plant by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, with some Iranian media reports saying at least two people were killed.

The blast occurred just before Ahmadinejad was to inaugurate an expansion project at the 400,000 barrel per day refinery in the southwestern city of Abadan, and injured 20 people, the semi-official Fars news agency said.

The explosion was blamed on a “gas leakage,” but no other details were provided. Ahmadinejad himself was not injured.

However, conflicting reports over the toll and timing of the blast surfaced but officials at the plant were not reachable for comment.

Better luck next time!

UK PARLIAMENT STUDY: FRACKING POSES NO RISK; TIME TO MOVE FORWARD EXTRACTING SHALE GAS

The inquiry found no evidence that the hydraulic fracturing process involved in shale gas extraction – known as ‘fracking’ - poses a direct risk to underground water aquifers provided the drilling well is constructed properly. The committee concluded that, on balance, a moratorium in the UK is not justified or necessary at present.

The MPs, nevertheless, urge the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to monitor drilling activity extremely closely in its early stages in order to assess its impact on air and water quality.

SENSIBLE. THE BRITS ALSO HAVE A VERY VERY ROBUST OFF-SHORE DRILLING BUSINESS - ION THE NORTH SEA. OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE NOT TIMID AND THEY WANT TO PRODUCE AS MUCH DOMESTIC ENERGY - FOR DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION AND TO SELL OVERSEAS - AS THEY CAN.

I WISH THE POLITICIANS HERE WOULD DO THE SAME!

UPDATE: MEANWHILE IN THE USA (VIA HOT AIR):

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection last week levied the largest fine in state history against an oil or gas company — more than $1 million in penalties against Chesapeake Energy, the second largest natural gas producer in the country, partly because the Department claims Chesapeake contaminated water supplies in Bradford County, Pa., and partly because of an explosion at a Chesapeake well site in Washington County, Pa., in February.

The fine comes amid ongoing controversy about the development of the Marcellus Shale formation that stretches across the western part of the state. One of the largest reservoirs of natural gas in the world, the Marcellus Shale provides Pennsylvania with significant economic benefits, even as it offers the country important energy production possibilities. But to access the natural gas, oil and gas companies have to use a process known as hydraulic fracturing — a process that poses some environmental risk. About that, local opponents say: “Don’t frack with our water!

Opponents of the mining technique of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” fear the contamination of water supplies, worried it will forever ruin small communities in the stampede of billion-dollar outsider energy corporations to make a quick buck.

Industry experts say the environmental impact neither has been nor will be as severe as opponents like to claim.

IF WE WANT TO GROW THE ECONOMY WE NEED TO EXPLOIT OUR NATURAL RESOURCES.

AND IF TH BRITS CAN DO IT - IN THE NORTH SEA AND BY FRACKING - THEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO MORE OF IT, BOTH OFF-SHORE AND BY FRACKING, TOO!

OBAMA GAVE THEM A HAND, NOW THEY WANT AN ARM: ZAHAR/HAMAS: "Let's start with the 1948 borders!"

OBAMA GAVE THEM A HAND, NOW THEY WANT AN ARM:
Zahar: Palestinians should not settle for 1967 borders

Hamas
leader says 1967 borders not enough, asks Obama why he wouldn't be willing to discuss 1948 borders.

Senior Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar said Monday that it was clear that US President Barack Obama's platform was not so different from the one adopted by former US president George W. Bush. According to Zahar, the 1967 borders, while "sacred," were not the final borders on which the Palestinians should settle.

Speaking to Al-Emirate Al-Youm, Zahar asked "Why won't we talk about the 1948 borders? Why won't we discuss the partition plan which was internationally recognized?"
THIS IS WHAT APPEASEMENT ALWAYS YIELDS.

ERIC CANTOR: IT'S NOT ABOUT 1967 LINES

As the Weekly Standard quotes:
Eric Cantor, in a speech delivered at AIPAC yesterday, said the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians "is not about the '67 lines." Instead, Cantor argued, "it is a culture infused with resentment and hatred. It is this culture that underlies the Palestinians' and the broader Arab world's refusal to accept Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. This is the root of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians."
More clearly, it's about the teachings of Islamofascism. That's where the main problem lies. More of Cantor's speech to AIPAC can be found here.

TWO MOST POWERFUL EU FOREIGN POLICY LEADERS - AND SOCIALISTS - SEE OBAMA'S 1967 BORDER POLICY AS NEW FOR THE USA AND A BREAKTHROUGH AND AS REFLECTING EU MIDDLE EAST POLICY.

From Haaretz:

THEY ARE RIGHT! WHEN OBAMA SAYS NOTHING IS NEW, HE LIES.

Here Comes the "Arab Spring" -

In a filthy squat two miles from the entrance to the Channel Tunnel, Mohammed Yosif and his friends are hoping for a new life in Britain.

The 21-year-old is one of at least 40,000 to have fled to Europe as a result of the Arab Spring that has seen political unrest sweep north Africa.

Many are migrant workers from sub-Saharan Africa who now believe their lives are at risk, especially in Libya where the regime used black mercenaries to attack rebel forces.

A growing number have now arrived in France and are sleeping rough near ports in a bid to sneak into the UK or at the Gare du Nord Eurostar station in Paris.

“It is very difficult to get on the train, but I dream of England,” said Mohammed, who arrived in Calais on Tuesday after fleeing the war in Libya, where he was a migrant worker from Chad.

OBAMA: CHAMELEON ; SHAPE-SHIFTER; PHONY

Ah Bejaysus and Begorrah! Oi’ll be swearin’ boi the auld shrine to the Vorgin with the shamrocks growin’ round it next to the hill where Cuchullain slew the Great Leprechaun of Kildare on St Patrick’s Day that Barack Seamus O’Toole Flaherty Joyce O’Bama is the most Irish US president that ever set foot on the Emerald Oisle, so he is, so he is.

Except, when he’s in Africa, of course, when he disappears into the dry ice and re-emerges with a grass skirt and a bone through his nose and declares himself to be Mandingo, Prince of the Bloodline of the Bonga People, Drinker of Cattle Urine, Father of A Thousand Warrior Sons, Keeper of King Solomon’s Mines, Barehanded Slayer of Lions, Undaunted Victim of the Evil Colonial British Empire.

And in the Middle East, where he is Al-Barak Hussein Obama, Protector of the Holy Shrine, Smiter of the Kuffar, Lion of the Desert, Tent-Loving-Aficionado-of-the-Oversweetened-Coffee, Chomper of Sheeps’ Eyeballs, Restorer of the Caliphate.

ANDREW SULLIVAN REGURGITATES CLASSIC LIBEL

Newsbusters found propagandist Andrew Sullivan resorting to that classic propaganda that Jews control the media. Umm, if that's so, wouldn't he also be under our control?

But if that's how he feels, then here's a suggestion for him: stop associating yourself with any and all of the Jewish community's entertainment products, Sullivan. You'll be doing everyone a big favor by just shutting up too.

TURKEY'S ISLAMIST PRESIDENT GUL CALLS OBAMA'S DECLARATION THAT THE 1967 BORDERS BE THE BASIS FOR TALKS A "BREAKTHROUGH"...

... WHILE OBAMA AT AIPAC AND HIS LEFTIST LACKEYS AT THE WHITE HOUSE AND IN THE MEDIA SAYS THERE'S BEEN NO CHANGE IN POLICY.

GUL:
In an interview a day after U.S. President Barack Obama delivered a speech on the Middle East, Gul also hailed Obama's reference to creating a Palestinian state based on Israel's pre-1967 borders as "a very important step."
IF THERE WAS NO CHANGE, THEN WHAT IS GUL TALKING ABOUT!?!?!!?!?

THE PALESTNAN AUTHORTY THNS THERE S CHANGE:
The Palestinian Authority may abandon plans to ask the United Nations to recognize a Palestinian state in September if Israel agrees to halt construction in the settlements for three months, and accepts the 1967 lines as the basis for a future solution, PLO official Hana Ameereh said on Sunday.
OBAMA TO AIPAC:

U.S. President Barack Obama said Sunday before the AIPAC pro-Israel lobby that two states for two people based on 1967 borders has been a long-standing U.S. policy for Mideast negotiations.

GEORGE MITCHELL - (WHO IS LEBANESE, BTW):
George Mitchell, who resigned earlier this month as President Obama's envoy to the Middle East, told Amanpour in another interview that while "it's indisputable that we have not made as much progress as we would have liked," he said he still has a positive outlook if both sides are willing to negotiate.

"Both sides, I believe, want peace," Mitchell said. "The problem is, do they want peace enough to make the painful concessions that are necessary on both sides?"

Mitchell told Amanpour that while US President Barack Obama's comments on the 1967 borders were "a significant statement" they do not indicate a major shift in policy.

"The president didn't say that Israel has to go back to the '67 lines. He said with agreed swaps," Mitchell told Amanpour in the interview. "Swaps means an exchange of land intended to accommodate major Israeli population centers to be incorporated into Israel and Israel's security needs. Agreed means through negotiations. Both parties must agree."

"That's not going to be a border unless Israel agrees to it and we know they won't agree unless their security needs are satisfied, as it should be," Mitchell said of the 1967 borders.
WHO SHOULD WE BELIEVE? GUL AND THE PALESTINIANS, OR OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES?

WHO HAS A REASON TO LIE?

GUL HAS NO REASON TO LIE AND MAKE IT SEEM LIKE OBAMA IS CHANGING USA POLICY.

LOOK AT IT THIS WAY:

IF OBAMA ANNOUNCED NO CHANGE IN USA POLICY, THEN WHY ANY HUBBUB ABOUT THE SPEECH!?!?

EITHER OBAMA GAVE A RUN OF THE MILL SPEECH, OR HE ANNOUNCED A CHANGE; IT CAN'T BE BOTH.

OBAMA -
  • WHOSE CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND, RASHID KHALIDI , IS A FORMER PLO SPOKESMAN AND EDWARD SAID DISCIPLE...
  • WHO TRIED TO APPOINT CHARLES FREEMAN AND DID APPOINT SAMANTHA POWER TWO WELL KNOWN ANTI-ZIONISTS...
  • WHO SUPPORTED FARRAKHAN AND JEREMIAH WRIGHT UNTIL THE ELECTION...
SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.

SPAIN MOVES RIGHT: MASSIVE REJECTION OF SOCIALIST AGENDA AT HE POLLS!

Spain's governing Socialist party has suffered heavy losses in local and regional elections.

With 91% of municipal votes counted, the centre-right Popular Party (PP) had almost a 10-percentage point lead, the interior ministry said.

Jubilant PP supporters celebrated outside their party headquarters in Madrid as the final votes were being counted.

The party was heading to victory in virtually all 13 regional governments up for grabs, including Castilla-La Mancha where the Socialists have always held power.

In municipal elections, the PP won by about two million votes, compared to its victory margin of 150,000 in 2007.

The Socialist party also lost bastions such as the town halls in Barcelona and Seville.

SPAIN'S MOVE TO THE RIGHT, MAKE OBAMA'S MOVE TO THE LEFT ONLY THAT MUCH MORE INSANE.

WE CAN STOP OBAMA FROM TAKING US DOWN THE ROAD TO SERFDOM IN 2012 - IF WE LAST THAT LONG!

THE JIHADISTS WHO MURDERED THE FOGELS SHOULD RECEIVE THE DEATH SENTENCE

According to this report, the IDF is mulling the death sentence for the sadistic Islamofascists who murdered the Fogel family a few months ago. And indeed those monsters should be sent to hell for the act of sadism they committed in cold blood. The time has come to pass a law that will make it easier to making such rulings in court.
