PREDICTABLY, THE UN MEMBERS DON'T CARE ABOUT THE KIDNAP VICTIMS

Israel HaYom reported that the UN's council, as expected, had no sympathy for the plight of the kidnapped students or their mother's speech:

"It is wrong to take children, innocent boys and girls, and use them as instruments of any struggle. It is cruel. This council is charged with protecting human rights. I wish to ask, doesn't every child have the right to come home safely from school? We just want them back at home, in their beds. We just want to hug them again," Rachel Frenkel, the mother of Naftali, one of the three Israeli teenagers abducted on June 12, stated in her address before the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Her speech was two minutes long, in accordance with council rules. Sitting behind her were Iris Yifrach, Eyal's mother, and Bat-Galim Shaer, Gilad's mother. Standing beside Rachel as she spoke was Hillel Neuer, executive director of U.N. Watch, who arranged for her to give her speech to elicit a response from the international community. Despite the council's strong hostility toward Israel, one might have expected that someone would have approached the women, or at least one of them, to share her pain and perhaps even condemn the kidnapping.

I was there, several yards away from them. I waited to see who would approach them, who would shake Rachel's hand. I looked for someone to show a drop of humanity toward them, but not one stood up, and it was awful. They were alone.

Frenkel arrived together with Yifrach and Shaer, who became partners in her fate two weeks ago. They left the hall accompanied by representatives of the Israeli delegation from the embassy in Geneva. The hearing continued, as did the criticism and condemnations -- all of them against Israel.

Rania Madi, legal U.N. consultant for Badil Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights, who spoke several minutes before Frenkel, mentioned the kidnapping, but only to condemn the Israeli military's response to it. She left several minutes later. She was not too far from the three Israeli mothers, and she is close to them in age as well. But none of that encouraged her to reach out to them or say a word of comfort.

As far as Rania is concerned, the UNHRC is a political battlefield where the Palestinians have been winning for years. That should not be a surprise to anyone: the council, which has 47 members, just brought in countries that are known to harbor profound contempt for human rights issues: China, Cuba, Russia and Saudi Arabia. To these we should add Iran, which plays an important role there.

Incidentally, Rania did not understand exactly what Frenkel was doing at the meeting. Other Arab representatives who were there saw the Jewish women's appearance as an Israeli provocation. If peace is made between peoples, then Tuesday did not bode well. When I asked Rania whether she shared the Jewish mothers' sorrow, she answered with a question: "Is there also room here for 5,000 Palestinian mothers?"

"The greatest fear is that the world has simply gotten used to this situation, in which three Israeli boys were kidnapped," said Ian Zviovich, a young Jewish man living in Geneva, who attended a special prayer service organized by the local Chabad center and which Frenkel attended. "Look how long it took the world to deal with the kidnapped girls in Nigeria. At first there was commotion. Heads of state held meetings in Paris. And what's happening now? The world has moved on."

Tragically, that's just what happened, and there's been no solid action taken to helping the Nigerian girls either. It's no surprise the fiends who comprise the UN membership today had nothing but hatred to offer Frenkel, and that's one more reason why instead of speaking there, people with sense should campaign to have the UN condemned for the hatemongering institution they've long become.

JIHADISTS USING INTERNET TO PREACH TO CHINA'S UIGHURS

The Wall Street Journal reported about how the web is being exploited by jihadists, in this case, to preach towards the Uighurs who live in China, and have proven just as lethal as those residing in Europe.

OBAMA PHASING-OUT ANTI-ISLAMIST EFFORT IN PHILIPPINES

NYTIMES:

U.S. Phasing Out Its Counterterrorism Unit in Philippines 

American Special Forces will continue to help Philippine security forces counter a smaller, lingering Islamist threat, but the size of the mission will drop to a dozen or so advisers from its current 320 service members.

OBAMA HAS CONSISTENTLY REDUCED OUT ANTI-ISLAMIST EFFORT AND AIDED TH ENEMY.

HE OUSTED MUBARAK, KADDAFY, AIDED THE ENEMY IN SYRIA, REDUCED OUR EFFORTS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN, NEGOTIATES WITH HAMAS AND THE TALIBAN.

OBAMA MIGHT AS WELL BE ONE OF THEM.

THE HAMAS SUSPECTS IN THE KIDNAPPINGS

The Israeli government's named at least two suspects in the abduction of the yeshiva students:

Israel's security agency says they are Marwan Qawasmeh and Amer Abu Aisheh -- both members of the militant group Hamas who have served time in Israeli prisons for terrorism.

Both suspects are at large.

When they're captured, they should use sodium pentathol if that's what it takes to make them reveal the whereabouts of the students.

HUSSEIN OBAMA WANTS $500MILLION FOR SYRIAN "REBELS" BUT NOTHING FOR OUR VETS!?!?

BREAKING NEWS:

BREAKING NEWS Thursday, June 26, 2014 4:22 PM EDT

Obama to Request $500 Million to Aid Syrian Opposition President Obama on Thursday requested $500 million from Congress to train and equip what the White House is calling “appropriately vetted” members of the Syrian opposition.

THERE ISN'T A MUSLIM REBEL OBAMA WON'T HELP.

OUR VETS? ISRAEL? NOT SO MUCH.

IMPEACH THIS BASTID ALREADY!

IDF MUST NOT SCALE BACK OPERATIONS AGAINST JIHADISTS

The mother kidnapee Gilad Sha'ar gave a speech to the Knesset where she asked the military to use all resources to locate her son and the other two boys:

Bat-Galim Sha'ar addressed the Israeli Knesset Wednesday, in an emotional speech to urge the Israeli government to keep all resources trained on finding her son Gilad (16), Naftali Frenkel (16), and Eyal Yifrah (19) despite a recent decision to scale back the wide-ranging IDF operation. (See full text at the end of this article.) [...]

On Tuesday, the Security Cabinet decided to scale down the IDF operations against Hamas and focus on locating the teens, concentrating on arrests that would aid in gathering intel about the three.

The decision, which was initially denied by Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, allegedly was to fend off international criticism over the IDF crackdown on Hamas over the abduction, as well as concerns about the upcoming Muslim holiday of Ramadan.

The announcement surfaced hours after the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) publicly assailed Israel for over 90 minutes during a session in Geneva, just before Rachel Frenkel - Naftali's mother - was about to speak.

Whether or not this report is accurate, the IDF must not weaken the search for the missing students. They must be found, and the UN cannot be allowed to get in the way.

MALIKI TELLS KERRY AND OBAMA TO EFF OFF AND ANNOUNCES OPPOSITION TO ANY UNITY GOVERNMENT - OPENING THE WAY FOR AN INDEPENDENT KURDISTAN!

BBC:

Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri Maliki has rejected calls for a national salvation government to help counter the offensive by jihadist-led Sunni rebels. Such calls represented a "coup against the constitution and an attempt to end the democratic experience", he warned. The US has led appeals to the country's political leaders to rise above sectarian and ethnic divisions. Government forces have been unable to recapture the territory seized by the rebels this month.

I THINK THIS GIVES THE KURDS THE OPENING THEY NEED TO DECLARE INDEPENDENCE!

I HOPE THEY GO FOR IT!

ESPECIALLY SINCE THE TURKS HAVE RECENTLY SAID PUBLICLY THEY'D SUPPORT IT - ON IRAQ'S FORMER TERRITORY.

STAY TUNED...

KOSKINEN ADMITS UNDER OATH THAT HE DOESN'T GET INTERNAL EMAILS ON THE LOIS LERNER SUBJECTS!?!?

UNDER OATH, KOSKINEN CLAIMED NOT TO REMEMBER THE DATE HE WAS TOLD THE LERNER EMAILS WERE PERMANENTLY LOST - OR THE PERSON WHO TOLD HIM.

HE KNOWS HE WAS TOLD AND NOT INFORMED VIA EMAIL BECAUSE HE SAID SO:

 "I DO NOT GET EMAILS ON THESE SUBJECTS."

I THINK THIS MUST BE BECAUSE HE HAS ORDERED ALL HIS SUBORDINATES INVOLVED IN THIS MATTER NOT TO CREATE A PAPER TRAIL.

WHY WOULDN'T HE WANT A PAPER TRAIL?

BECAUSE IT COULD BE SUBPOENAED.

I THINK THIS PROVES AN INTENT TO OBSTRUCT:

SUDANESE CHRISTIAN WOMAN RE-ARRESTED AT AIRPORT AFTER INITIAL RELEASE

Just when it looked like Meriam Ibrahim had found justice, the Islamofascists in Sudan turned on her yet again (Hat tip: Breitbart Conversation):

Sudanese authorities re-arrested a Sudanese woman on Tuesday hours after she was freed from death row, and detained her and her family as they tried to board a plane in Khartoum, a security source and her lawyer said.

Mariam Yahya Ibrahim, 27, sentenced to death last month for converting to Christianity from Islam, was released on Monday after what the government said was unprecedented international pressure.

The security official said he did know the reason for the re-arrest. One of Ibrahim's lawyers said she was being held at a security building outside the airport with her husband and two children.

Ibrahim was freed by an appeal court on Monday which cancelled her death sentence. She was then sent to a secret location for her protection after her family reported receiving threats.

Her release was welcomed by human rights groups and Western governments that had voiced outrage at the death sentence.

An utter outrage, and it begs the query: will Obama speak up for this woman or not? Senator Ted Cruz is calling on Obama to speak in her defense:

“President Obama should speak out publicly and call upon the government of Sudan to free Meriam Ibrahim. Sec. of State John Kerry should speak out loudly and forcibly and call up on,” he added.

Cruz said Ibrahim had been at the U.S. Embassy in Sudan before traveling to the airport to board a flight back to the U.S. and questioned why U.S. officials hadn't simply transported her in a military aircraft to avoid any danger.

“I think it is a fair question to ask why the administration put her in a position where the Sudanese government could forcibly take her into custody again. Their stated intentions to torture and murder her had been made clear,” Cruz said.

He's absolutely right, why didn't the US officials give her protection until she was out of the country? And are they going to come to her aid again now that she's been taken back in captivity?

Movie Trailer: Aisha and Muhammad

Note the caveat, which reflects the power that Islamofascism has even in the West:

Viewers are requested to take note that Lars Hedegaard and Ingrid Carlqvist did not wish to be part of this movie at the last moment for safety reasons, but I could not remove their names and appearance from it because of time constraints. Therefore, they should not be held responsible for this movie in any way whatsoever.

The movie uses avatars and animation, and we do know why:

MOTHER OF KIDNAPPED YESHIVA STUDENT SPEAKS AT UN

Rachel Frankel, the mother of Naftali Frankel, one of the kidnapped students, gave an address at the UN, and UN Watch has a transcript of her speech.

I do hope all involved realize of course, that the UN's membership is comprised of some of the most vile creatures to walk the face of the earth, and many of them no doubt feel no sympathy for the victims. That's why the UN should not be getting funding, nor should they have a headquarters in NYC.

EVER SEE AN INVERTED BONELESS PORK RECTUM???

APPARENTLY, THIS IS A REAL FOOD:

THIS IS WHAT'S INSIDE:

GOWDY RULES!

BOMBSHELL: KOSKINEN TESTIFIES UNDER OATH HE GETS NO EMAILS ON THE LERNER AFFAIR

WOW:

KOSKINEN TESTIFIED UNDER OATH HE GETS NO EMAILS ON THE LERNER AFFAIR OR IRS TARGETING.

GEE.

I WONDER WHY KOSKINEN THREW THIS FACT OUT - THE FACT THAT HE "RECEIVES NO EMAILS ON THIS MATTER."

I'LL TELL YOU WHY:

HE INSTRUCTED HIS EMPLOYEES NOT TO CREATE A PAPER TRAIL THAT MIGHT BE USED IN ANY PROSECUTION.

THIS IS INCRIMINATING IN MY VIEW.

HE ALSO TESTIFIED THAT HE WAS INFORMED IN APRIL THAT THE LERNER EMAILS WERE LOST.

BUT HE CANNOT SAY EXACTLY WHEN OR WHO TOLD HIM.

AND HE HAS NO PAPER TRAIL TO SHOW WHEN HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN INFORMED.

ONCE AGAIN, THIS STRAINS CREDULITY.

IN THE MOST PRESSING MATTER BEFORE THE AGENCY - UNDER INVESTIGATION BY TWO HOUSE COMMITTEES AN SUPPOSEDLY THE DOJ, HE CAN'T REMEMBER!?!?!?!

NO EFFING WAY.

Update:

KOSKINEN TESTIFIED THAT 2-3% OF THE IRS'S COMPUTERS CRASH EACH YEAR. AND THAT THE IRS HAS 90,000 AND SO GETS 5000 CRASHES A YEAR.

SO: ARE WE MEANT TO BELIEVE THAT OVERALL, ONLY 2% OF THE IRS COMPUTERS CRASH, BUT 100% OF THOSE TARGETED BY THIS INVESTIGATION.

I DO NOT EFFING BUY IT.  

I AM CONVINCED THERE IS A COVER-UP.

AND FOR PEOPLE AS BIG AS KOSKINEN TO LIE AND OBFUSCATE AND SAY "I DO NOT RECALL" IT MUST REPEAT MUST LEAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE. 

KOSKINEN WOULD NOT LIE OR OBFUSCATE OR SELECTIVELY REMEMBER TO SAVE LERNER.

JIHADISTS RETURNING TO UK WILL POSE SERIOUS DANGER

A senior police official in Britain's warned of the long term consequences posed by jihadists returning from Syria and Iraq:

British extremists returning from fighting in Syria will pose a long-term threat to UK security, a senior police officer has said.

Cressida Dick, assistant commissioner and head of specialist operations at the Metropolitan Police, warned that Britain would feel the repercussions of the rise in Islamist extremism for "many years to come", as young British Muslims bring jihadist violence back to the UK.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4's The World This Weekend, Dick said: "I'm afraid I believe that we will be living with the consequences of Syria – from a terrorist point of view, geopolitical consequences – for many, many, many years to come."

She said that until a few weeks ago, police believed that around 460 British nationals had gone to fight in Syria but the figure is now estimated to be as high as 500.

Dick urged British citizens thinking of travelling to fight in Syria not to join the conflict, as Syrian people regard foreign fighters as a problem and not a solution to the ongoing crisis.

Alas, a simple request is not going to persuade the jihadists in Britain to avoid going to participate in jihadism abroad. In fact, they could already be dangerous even without going to the middle east. They let this nightmare breed within their borders, and now, with all the sharia advocates on the loose in the country, the threat of jihad is already there. Let's remember the horrific murder of a soldier that took place in Woolwich last year, the result of letting Islam take root in the UK.

RACIST AND ANTI-MERITOCRATIC OP-EDITORIAL FROM NYTIMES

THIS OP-ED WRITER FOR THE NYTIMES IS UPSET THAT A SUPERIOR PUBLIC HIGH-SCHOOL IN NYC - (WHICH ADMITS STUDENTS ON THE BASIS OF GRADES/TEST RESULTS/ ESSAYS) - ONLY HAS 3% BLACKS AND 3% LATINO STUDENTS:

Elite, Separate, Unequal 

New York City’s Top Public Schools Need Diversity 

WASHINGTON — NEW YORK CITY’S elite public high schools were always meant to provide a quintessentially American blend of academic excellence and democratic accessibility. Unlike the city’s expensive private schools, they would be free and open to all who were academically qualified, irrespective of pedigree 

“You pass the test, you get the highest score, you get into the school — no matter what your ethnicity, no matter what your economic background is,” Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said in 2012. But this year, only 5 percent of seats at those eight schools were offered to black students and 7 percent to Latinos, in a city where the public schools are 70 percent black and Latino. At Stuyvesant High School, just 3 percent of offered seats this year went to black and Latino students.

When the number of black and Latino students admitted to a public school is a tiny fraction of their share of the general population, it raises red flags about the fairness of the admissions system.

INSTEAD OF ADMITTING LESS QUALIFIED STUDENTS - AND THEREBY REFUSING MORE QUALIFIED STUDENTS - MAYBE THE LEFTISTS AND THE NYTIMES OUGHT TO DEMAND THAT BLACK AND LATINO STUDENTS DO BETTER IN SCHOOL.

LEFTISTS AND ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE NYTIMES WOULD RATHER OUR MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATES  BE DENIED WHAT THEY EARN,  IN ORDER TO REWARD PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR RACE.

THIS IS RACISM.

IT'S DISGUSTING.

IF THE NBA USED THIS KIND OF CRAP TO MAKE SURE EACH TEAM HAD THE SAME PERCENTAGE OF WHITES ON EACH TEAM AS IN THE GENERAL POPULATION, THEN THE LEVEL OF PLAY WOULD TAKE A HUGE STEP DOWN.

BLACKS EARN HIGHER REPRESENTATION IN THE NBA AND THEY EARN THE HUGE SALARIES THEY MAKE.

IF NYC SCHOOLS WERE ADMITTING WHITES WITH POORER MERITS AND DENYING BLACKS AND LATINOS WITH HIGHER MERITS AS A RESULT, THEN THERE WOULD BE A JUSTIFIABLE UPROAR AND HUGE OUTRAGE.

MORAL PEOPLE RECOGNIZE ADMITTING BLACKS AND LATINOS WITH LOWER SCORES THAN WHITES IS JUST AS HORRIBLE AND IMMORAL - AND RACIST.

LET'S MAKE SURE EVERY STUDENT EARNS THEIR ADMISSION BASED ON THEIR ABILITY, AND NOT THEIR SKIN COLOR.

BRITISH TOURISTS CHOOSE IRAN AS A TRAVEL DESTINATION

I guess if they could see Dubai as a great place to vacation and live in, then it figures Iran would be perceived as perfect for them too. But why? The country is still run by sharia, even worse than Dubai, and putting money into their pockets will do nothing but bolster them, and women traveling there could be in serious danger. If Britain's tourists decide to go to Iran, they'll be acting as foolishly as those going to Dubai.

IDF ASSUMES KIDNAPEES ARE STILL ALIVE

And again, we must definitely hope they are. In this IDF press brief:

Brigadier General Moti Almoz, the IDF Spokesman, held a press briefing Sunday in which he spoke about the ongoing search for the abducted yeshiva boys: “According to the information in our possession,” he said, “our working assumption is that the boys are alive.”

Almoz said that the political echelon and security forces are making “a supreme effort” to bring back the youths.

On a related note, as the search continues, some underground tunnels were found in the Hevron area:

According to this article:

...the intense searches in the Hevron area have yielded a great deal of information and new discoveries – such as the discovery of a network of tunnels in the Hevron area that the IDF did not know existed.

[...] Among the things soldiers have already found, officials said, is a network of dozens of underground tunnels that were hidden behind furniture, washing machines, and the like. It is not clear what the purpose of the tunnels are, and IDF soldiers are exploring them to see if they lead into the area of the 1948 armistice lines, used for smuggling illegal Palestinians into Israel.

In addition, the army said, soldiers have discovered several bomb-making facilities in private homes, throughout Judea and Samaria, and especially in Hevron.

No surprise, really. That's what happens as a result of handing over the control of the Islamic neighborhoods to the PLO, whom I'm sure the authorities knew perfectly well would allow, encourage and even take part in this themselves.

Update: here's more commentary on the topic from Phyllis Chesler.
