A NEW NAME FOR THE ENEMY: ISLAMBIES

ISLAM + ZOMBIE = ISLAMBIE:

AFTER ALL, THEY ARE VERY MUCH LIKE ZOMBIES.

THE SEX SLAVES OF MUHAMMED AND ISLAM

Raymond Ibrahim discusses on Front Page Magazine (via Jihad Watch) the history of how sex slaves were taken captive by Islamofascists using Koran 4:3 to justify their evil deeds.

HOW A POSTMODERN LEFTIST WOULD EXPLOIT EBOLA

HERE'S HOW A POSTMODERN LEFTIST WOULD THINK ABOUT EBOLA:

"It's unfair that only people of color in the Third World have been getting Ebola.

They've been getting it for decades and no one cares - so there's no cure.

But, if white hetero Jewish and Christian men who live in major media centers in the USA started to get Ebola, then there'd very quickly be a cure.

And infecting the USA and Europe would be just punishment for their exploitation of the Third World and people of color.

And it would bring them down a notch - in the eyes of the world and in reality as it would hurt the economy and create havoc and a loss in faith in the superiority of their system 

So you see, bringing Ebola to the USA and Europe is the HUMANE thing to do. 

It would be for the common good."

I think Obama and Jarrett and Holder and Frieden and Holdren are postmodern leftists.

They have certainly NOT behaved as if their primary responsibility and major concern was protecting the USA.

Just saying...

Vomiting passenger dies on flight from Nigeria to JFK

A plane from Nigeria landed at JFK Airport Thursday with a male passenger aboard who had died during the flight after a fit of vomiting — and CDC officials conducted a “cursory” exam before announcing there was no Ebola and turning the corpse over to Port Authority cops to remove, Rep. Peter King said on Thursday....

... The unnamed, 63-year-old passenger had boarded an Arik Air plane out of Lagos, Nigeria, on Wednesday night, a federal law enforcement source said.During the flight, the man had been vomiting in his seat, the source said. Some time before the plane landed, he passed away. Flight crew contacted the CDC, federal customs officials and Port Authority police, who all boarded the plane at around 6 a.m. as about 145 worried passengers remained on board, the source said.“The door [to the terminal] was left open, which a lot of the first responders found alarming,” said the source.

A "CURSORY EXAM" DETERMINED IT WAS NOT EBOLA???

THAT'S BS.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR OBAMA TO ALLOW A TARGETED TRAVEL BAN?!!??

OR DOES HE WANT AN EPIDEMIC HERE?

SURE SEEMS THAT WAY...

FUHCRISSAKES, BARACK: GET A GRIP!

THIS ONE DIDN'T GET THROUGH....

BUT MAYBE THIS ONE WILL:

FED SIGNALS IT WILL NOT "TAKE AWAY THE PUNCH-BOWL FROM THE PARTY" AND RALLIES THE ASSET MARKETS

THE TELEGRAPH: Federal Reserve [BULLARD] hints at extending quantitative easing programme as markets recover from another day of turmoil

UPDATE: FROM ZERO HEDGE: 'Welcome to the Dow-Data-Dependent TM Fed. Because What a difference 1,100 Dow points makes!"

UPDATE: VIDEO OF BULLARD HERE.

WIKI: William McChesney Martin, Jr. (December 17, 1906 – July 27, 1998) was the ninth and longest-serving Chairman of the United States Federal Reserve Bank, serving from April 2, 1951 to January 31, 1970 under five presidents. 

HE FAMOUSLY SAID:

The job of the Federal Reserve, he famously said, is "to take away the punch bowl just as the party gets going,"[3]--that is, raise interest rates just when economy reaches peak activity after a recession.

TODAY - AS THE CORRECTION CONTINUED TO PICK UP STEAM, THE CURRENT FED CHICKENED OUT AND SIGNALED IT WOULD LEAVE HE PUNCH-BOWL AT THE PARTY.

WHICH MEANS THE ASSET BUBBLE WHICH HAS ONLY BENEFITED THE VERY RICH - WILL RE-INFLATE THE LITTLE IT LOST.

UNLESS THE HINT IS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.

YES, YES. WE KNOW, WE KNOW: THE ECONOMY HASN'T YET REACHED PEAK ACTIVITY NOR IS THE RECESSION ANYWHERE NEAR BEING OVER.

WHICH REALLY TRULY PROVES THAT IT'S TIME TO END QUANTITATIVE EASING BECAUSE IT REALLY TRULY FAILED TO END THE RECESSION.

WE NEED A DIFFERENT PUNCH BOWL: LOW/PRE 2001 ENERGY PRICES AND ACROSS THE BOARD TAX CUTS.

IOW: IT'S LONG PASSED TIME THE PEOPLE HAD A LITTLE OF THE PUNCH ONLY THE VERY RICH HAVE BEEN DRINKING SINCE 2010!

IMO, THAT WILL LEAD TO A BROAD-BASED RECOVERY.

STAY TUNED...

OBAMA, EBOLA AND .... MARTIAL LAW?

Will Ebola be the excuse to declare martial law and NOT to hold an election this year - and is this executive order a precursor? 

President Obama authorizes call-up of National Guard, reserves if needed to address Ebola

Or hold the election but ignore the results as he has the law and the Constitution?

Is Ebola a crisis they WON'T let go to waste?

EVEN SYMBOLICALLY, BRITAIN'S VOTE TO SUPPORT 2-STATE PROPAGANDA IS OFFENSIVE

Unsurprisingly, the House of Commons voted in favor of supporting a PLO state at Israel's expense:

British lawmakers voted Monday in favor of recognizing Palestine as a state, a symbolic move intended to increase pressure for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Legislators in the House of Commons voted 274 to 12 to support a motion calling on the British government to “recognize the state of Palestine alongside the state of Israel.”

Prime Minister David Cameron and other government leaders abstained, and more than half of the 650 Commons members did not participate in the vote.

But the motion had support from both government and opposition lawmakers, who said it could help kick-start the peace process following a summer war in Gaza that claimed the lives of more than 2,100 Palestinians, the majority civilians, and more than 70 Israelis, most of them soldiers.

Labour Party legislator Grahame Morris said recognizing a Palestinian state could help break the impasse in peace negotiations before it was too late.

Otherwise, he said, “any hope of a two-state solution — the only viable solution — will have disappeared altogether.”

It's already too late, and politicians who turn their backs on Islamic oppression of women cannot be relied upon to handle these kind of issues convincingly.

There has been a voice of sanity in this affair though. Well, almost:

A British lawmaker resigned his parliamentary post to vote against a nonbinding motion recognizing the state of Palestine.

Mike Freer, who represents the heavily Jewish districts of Finchley and Golders Green, resigned as parliamentary private secretary to business minister Nick Boles of the Conservative Party to vote on Monday evening. He was one of 12 lawmakers to oppose the motion, which passed with 274 votes. More than 300 members of the House of Commons did not appear at Parliament to vote on the measure.

Ministers and private secretaries are required by protocol to abstain from votes on motions put forward by the opposition shadow government.

I'm glad Freer understands the job and money aren't everything. But as you'll notice in the following:

“It would have been easy to hide behind the protocol but the two-state solution we all want to see should be the end not start of the process,” Freer told the Jewish News website. “The Government had to follow the protocol but the irony is that I had to resign to support government policy.

“It’s an issue I feel strongly about and it was the right thing to do for my constituents. I’ve been a supporter of Israel and the two-state solution long before getting involved with Finchley and Golders Green. This decision was rooted in my personal beliefs, not just the constituency.”

The guy's still blowing it by perpetuating the 2-state propaganda, bewilderingly enough. Which, unfortunately, throws away much of the impact of his resignation and makes it harder for me to credit him if this is what he thinks makes for logic.

THE BIG EBOLA LIE: "A QUARANTINE WILL INCREASE OUR RISK"

I've heard this a thousand times, and it's total BS.

A quarantine is the ONLY way to reduce our risk.

No one who has been in an ebola epidemic region should be allowed into the USA until 30 days have passed since their exit from that type of region.

We can make exceptions for medical personal who have no symptoms as long as they do NOT fly scheduled air or arrive with the general air-traveling population.

Anything short of this INCREASES our risk.

Politicians who tell us otherwise and elected officials and bureaucrats who do otherwise are endangering us all.

And for this they should be CHARGED WITH PUBLIC AND/OR RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT.

Reckless endangerment is a crime consisting of acts that create a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person. The accused person isn't required to intend the resulting or potential harm, but must have acted in a way that showed a disregard for the foreseeable consequences of the actions. The charge may occur in various contexts, such as, among others, domestic cases, car accidents, construction site accidents, testing sites, domestic/child abuse situations, and hospital abuse. State laws and penalties vary, so local laws should be consulted.

This is at least a gross misdemeanor and is therefore an IMPEACHABLE offense.

MRS. CLOONEY IN GREECE TO FORGE AN ELGIN MARBLE DEAL

BBC:

The new wife of Hollywood star George Clooney, lawyer Amal Clooney, has had talks with Greek PM Antonis Samaras as part of a campaign to return the Parthenon sculptures from Britain. Greece has hired her London law firm to ramp up its claim to the sculptures. The 5th Century BC treasures, known as the Elgin Marbles in the UK, are kept in the British Museum in London. Fellow lawyer Norman Palmer said he hoped a "conciliatory and amicable resolution" could be found. "If it cannot, then other considerations will have to be examined," he added.

THERE IS SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM:

BUILD A NEW BRANCH OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM IN ATHENS.

MANY MUSEUMS HAVE BRANCHES ALL OVER THE WORLD.

CALL IT THE "BRITISH MUSEUM OF ATHENS".

MOVE THE MARBLES THERE.

BRITAIN MAINTAINS "OWNERSHIP" AND GREECE GETS THEM BACK.

IT'S A WIN-WIN.

A SOLUTION SO SIMPLE NO "INTELLECTUAL" COULD THINK OF IT.

THE COMING BLOODBATHS: EBOLA, ISIS, AND THE STOCK MARKET

THE ONLY THING THAT CAN'T STOP OBAMA'S EBOLA, ISIS AND STOCK MARKET BLOODBATHS, IS A DEMOCRAT PARTY BLOODBATH THIS NOVEMBER - ALSO COURTESY OF OBAMA!

OBAMA HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTELY UNMITIGATED DISASTER:

THE DISASTROUS OBAMACARE ROLL-OUT; EBOLA; IRAQ/ISIS; THE STOCK MARKET MELTDOWN NOW UNDERWAY; THE PHONY STIMULUS THAT HAD ZERO "SHOVEL READY JOBS"; FAST N FURIOUS; THE VA SCANDAL; THE IRS SCANDAL; THE EPA SCANDAL; ALL THE "LOST" EMAILS AND TEXTS; A US AG HELD IN CONTEMPT; A RUSSIAN RESET THAT STRENGTHENED AND EMBOLDENED PUTIN - AND ZERO PROGRESS STOPPING IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM....

... ALL WHILE SIDING WITH THE ARABS AGAINST ISRAEL.

OBAMA ISN'T JUST THE WORST POTUS IN HISTORY; HE'S ONE OF THE WORST NATIONAL LEADERS OF ANY NATION AT ANY TIME!

16 DOCTORS FROM "DRS WITHOUT BORDERS" GOT EBOLA AND 9 DIED

OF COURSE A SECOND NURSE IN DALLAS GOT EBOLA.

IT IS INEVITABLE THAT PEOPLE CLOSE TO INFECTED PEOPLE ALSO GET INFECTED.

THAT'S WHY WE NEED A QUARANTINE.

NEED MORE PROOF?

SIMPLE:

THE FIRST TWO AMERICANS WITH EBOLA WHO WERE BROUGHT HERE FROM LIBERIA WERE DOCTORS WHO WERE EXPERTS DEALING WITH EBOLA PATIENTS.

NEED EVEN MORE PROOF?

FINE:

16 DOCTORS FROM DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS WHO WERE TREATING EBOLA PAITENTS GOT INFECTED, AND AND NINE DIED.

YES: MORE THAN HALF.

ACCORDING TO THE CDC, THE DEATH RATE FROM EBOLA IS NOW 70% - A HUGE CHANGE FROM THE 50% DEATH RATE OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO QUARANTINE WEST AFRICA.

AND THAT'S WHY IT IS INSANE TO SEND 3000 AMERICAN TROOPS TO THE EPIDEMIC REGION.

IT IS BEYOND INSANE.

IT IS CRIMINAL NEGLIGENT.

AND TREASONOUS.

IT MUST NOT STAND.

THE VIRUS DID NOT MERELY "ARRIVE" HERE; IT WAS BROUGHT HERE BY OBAMA.

EVERY AMERICAN HERE IN THE USA WHO GET EBOLA IS A VICTIM OF OBAMA.

EVERY ONE WHO DIES HAS BEEN MURDERED BY OBAMA.

WHO ARE THE 40%?

I am not referring to Romney's Kinsleyan 47% gaffe.

I'm referring to the fact that Obama consistently gets at least about 40% in the polls.

No matter what the eff up of the day is, Obama get's 40%.

It's really puzzling to me. I mean, when the Obamacare website was doing INEXCUSABLY HORRIBLY, he still got 40%. Two weeks after promising Ebola would never get to our shores, Obama still got his 40%. After his inexcusable somersaults on ISIS/ISIL and conatinthem versus destroy them, Obama still got his 40%. After getting caught in the most bald-faced POTUS lie of all-time, ("If you like your healthcare, then you van keep your healthcare. PERIOD!"), Obama still got his 40%.

And so on.

In France, Francois Hollande is polling at about 13%. And his effort is on par with Obama's - but Obama is getting 3x as many people to stick by him - NO MATTER WHAT.

WHO ARE THEY?

Who are the people who do NOT give a shit how awful Obama is?

Here's my guess:

• 90% of the blacks - about 10% of the general population
• 80% of the gays - about 2% of the general population
• 75% of the people who think man-made CO2 is causing a climate catastrophe - about 5% of the population
• 50% government union workers - about 3% of the general population
• 70% of the hispanics - about 10% of the general population
• 75% of the single-moms - about 5% of the general population
• 75% of the low info liberal voters - about 5% of the general population

These people are not representative of the great diversity in this nation.

These people see themselves as victims - victims who need a big powerful government to punish the people the Left has convinced them are responsible for how the fact that they FEEL like victims

The blacks and gays and hispanics and single-moms who support the Democrat Party see the Democrat Party as a means for REVENGE.

The bleeding-heart liberals feel guilty themselves and see the Democrat Party as a way to expunge their guilt by punishing OTHERS.

The government workers see the Democrat Party as the guarantee they can suck at the teat of government in perpetuity.

(There are more extreme leftists who think Obama is too centrist, and they make up the majority of the blacks, hispanics, gays, climate alarmists, single mothers and low info voters who DON'T support Obama.)

The GOP should NOT write off these voters. (As Romney seemed to be indicating.)

We can peel off a fair number of them. Maybe 1-2% of each group.

75% of these die-hard Obama supporters live in the cities.

To peel them off from the Democrat Party, the GOP needs to come up with an urban agenda and an environmental agenda.

School choice and charter schools is a GREAT urban issue; in NYC the blacks and hispanics LOVE charter schools. 

And clean H2O is a much better environmental cause than no man-made CO2 - and it's especially important in the Third World. By focusing on cleaning humanity's water supply globally the Right can truly make the world a better place environmentally and also deflect the political attacks from the Left that we are heartless.

I think these two policies could get the die-hard Obama-types down to around 30% - a number that makes Democrat voter fraud worthless.

ORTHODOX JEWISH SCHOOLGIRLS BULLIED BY UK INSPECTORS

What I found irritating about this news of the weird (via The Jewish Press) were the questions they asked about homosexuality:

The National Association of Jewish Orthodox Schools in Great Britain (NAJOS) said it was “appalled” at reports that inspectors from Ofsted, the official body for inspecting schools in England, left young girls “traumatized” after asking them if they had a boyfriend, how babies are made and whether they knew that two men could marry, Jewish News reported.

Apparently, the inspectors also “quizzed the girls on their views about Facebook and queried how they managed without a Smartphone.”

It began with three Jewish schools receiving surprise inspections in recent weeks, including a school in Manchester, where most of the complaints have originated.

NAJOS expressed “grave concerns” following reports from school administrators that Jewish girls “felt bullied into answering inspectors’ questions” and that students and staff have been feeling “traumatized and ashamed.”

NAJOS statement read: “Ofsted inspectors have been asking pupils inappropriate and challenging questions, many of which fall outside the religious ethos and principles at Orthodox Jewish faith schools.”

One 9th grade girl reported feeling “uncomfortable and upset” after inspectors started telling them that a “woman might choose to live with another woman and a man could choose to live with a man, it’s up to them.”

An 11th grade girl said: “They made us feel threatened about our religion. They asked ‘Do you have friends from other religions?’ They asked this many times until we answered what they wanted us to say. We felt very bullied.”

According to the NAJOS statement, in one inspection, 9-year old girls in an Orthodox Jewish primary school were asked whether they know how babies are made and whether they know any gays.

NAJOS director Jonathan Rabson: “This confrontational approach by inspectors is a worrying trend never been seen before in the UK Jewish community. We fear it suggests a shift in policy towards faith schools.”

There has been a growing suspicion in Great Britain, according to Jewish News, that religious schools are being targeted, after news broke this summer of Operation Trojan Horse, an organized attempt by Islamists to covertly co-opt schools in England.

I hope they're not downplaying the seriousness of Islamofascism, because Jews in the UK have been among the biggest victims of it. Asking 9-year-olds to answer queries otherwise inappropriate for youngsters is perverse, and we could see this as little more than an attempt to target the wrong crowds rather than concentrate on sharia creep in the country. The queries the inspectors made about homosexuality were particularly disgusting; just a cheap excuse to force abnormal beliefs upon anyone with rationale. One more sign how pathetic the UK system really is.

MUSLIM RIOTERS DESERVEDLY GET LOCKED IN AL-AQSA MOSQUE ON TEMPLE MOUNT

The police finally took some more convincing action to deter Muslim rioters on the site they've occupied for over 10 centuries:

Police trapped dozens of Arab rioters at the al-Aksa mosque for hours Monday after the rioters collected rocks, fireworks, and firebombs in order to confront police and disturb Jewish visitors to the site.

The rioters set up barricades at the entrance to the al-Aksa mosque. Police said they removed the barricades while under assault of a barrage of rocks and managed to push the rioters inside the mosque and lock them inside.

Four suspects were arrested. Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich said many of the rioters were Hamas and Islamic Jihad members.

I hope they managed to arrest more of the rioters and charge them for their membership in terrorist organizations. Putting those extremists under lock and key for a while was the right thing to do, and allowed for some Jewish worshipers to do some prayer service with little disturbance this time.

U.N. Sides With Muslim Terrorists Attacking Jews At Western Wall On Sukkot

Muslim "Worshippers" Go To Mosque With Petrol Bombs and Bottle Rockets To Fire At Jews On Sukkot

From the NYT:

JERUSALEM — The secretary general of the United Nations on Monday condemned what he called “provocations” at Jerusalem’s holy sites, hours after the Israeli police said officers had locked Palestinians inside Al Aksa Mosque to thwart a riot as Jews visited for the holiday of Sukkot. 

Scores of officers entered the mosque compound in the Old City of Jerusalem at 7 a.m. on Monday and found “petrol bombs, stones, bottle rockets and fireworks” as well as “masked Palestinians,” according to the police spokesman, Micky Rosenfeld. 

The officers shuttered the mosque with an unknown number of Palestinians inside, Mr. Rosenfeld said, as several hundred Jews and non-Muslim tourists ascended to Al Aksa compound during regular visiting hours, starting at 8 a.m. 

Mr. Rosenfeld said no one was hurt or arrested. Among the visitors was Moshe Feiglin, a right-wing Israeli lawmaker, whose prior pilgrimages to the site have been a focal point for clashes. 

The United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, said Monday that he was “deeply concerned by repeated provocations at the holy sites in Jerusalem.” 

First in a joint news conference with the Palestinian prime minister in the West Bank city of Ramallah, and later in an appearance here in Jerusalem with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, Mr. Ban said, “These only inflame tensions and must stop.”

Here are the Muslims at the Temple Mount chanting, what I assume to be, more of the typical genocidal slogans:


Here is a narrated EuroNews video of the events that took place. Notice the reason that the muslims are agitated. Because Jews wee ‘allowed’ to go to the Temple Mount.

JEWS EMIGRATING TO GERMANY BECAUSE IT'S CHEAP

And this has dismayed Yair Shamir, son of the late Yitzhak Shamir:

Agriculture Minister Yair Shamir (Yisrael Beytenu) returned last week from his first visit to Berlin. The minister's visit was a private trip and came as public discussion in Israel focused on a group called "Olim L'Berlin" (Moving to Berlin) that encourages Israelis to relocate to the German capital due to the lower cost of living there. The group captured the public's imagination when it publicized that a price of a chocolate breakfast pudding in Germany was significantly cheaper than in Israel.

"I saw at the train stations in Berlin the list of locations where Jews were sent to be murdered," Sharoni told Maariv Hashavua newspaper, The Jerusalem Post's Hebrew sister publication.

"I pity the Israelis who no longer remember the Holocaust and abandoned Israel for a pudding. Whoever is willing to sell his or her Jewish heritage for that has the right to do so. But they don't understand the significance that Europe is becoming more Muslim. It is very shortsighted to ignore what took place in Germany only 60-70 years ago," Shamir said.

Exactly. The main problem in that regard is how local authorities have shown no sign of clamping down properly on Muslim lawbreakers and exiling troublemakers.

"There is no hocus-pocus. To live in Israel is to sacrifice with your blood," he added.

I wonder if those who are emigrating to Germany do so because they don't want to work so much to earn a living? This is what Shamir is hinting at.

The Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for the prices of most food products including fruit, vegetables and meat. The minister said that placing price controls on a wide variety of products without solving the cost problem at all the different levels of the food production chain will not work.

Shamir added that an inter-ministerial committee should be formed to tackle the issue of the cost of living in Israel in general.

"It is true that it is expensive to live in Israel. It is true that it is cheaper to live in Mumbai. But I would not trade Israel for any other place in the world no matter how cheap. That being said, the issue of the high cost of living must be dealt with," the minister concluded.

Obviously. Until then, most people who want to live in Germany should reconsider, and realize money isn't everything.

HAREDI POSTER CARICATURE MAKES SOLDIERS LOOK LIKE HOGS

The same crowd behind the previous sickening anti-military posters against Haredi recruitment have struck again with one that draws Haredi soldiers to look like pigs:

Members of the ultra-Orthodox community in Jerusalem distributed posters this week caricaturing Haredi Jews serving in the IDF as pigs and accused them of attempting to corrupt the religious community.

The flyers were part of a campaign against the participation of ultra-Orthodox Jews in the IDF whose slogan brands religious soldiers as insects and attempts to dissuade others from the community from joining them.

“They sent me to confuse the boys in the seminaries, and dry out their souls,” the caricature pig-soldier brags in the text of the posters, which were pasted on walls in some of the capital’s ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods earlier this week. “I fool them with slogans from the Gemara, but in effect I’m something else entirely.”

Alongside him are three ultra-Orthodox children who scoff at the soldier, who wears a black skullcap, is carrying a Talmud and has a gun over his shoulder. “Look at what ears he has,” one says, “just like a hyena.”

“I actually think it’s a fox, look at its smile,” the second says.

“I’m telling you that it’s ‘something else [i.e. a pig]‘ entirely, look at its nose and look at what it has in its pocket,” the third says. The pig-soldier has a copy of Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth sticking out of his IDF uniform pants.

A young man in a black suit, presumably old enough to be drafted into the army, runs away.

Anybody with common sense should just walk away from this propaganda that isn't all that different from nazi propaganda. Such disgust can encourage terrible receptive behavior for soldiers and is not something any sane person wants their children to be taught. Curious how the poster may be against Yediot Achronot when their politics aren't all that different from the anti-army Haredis. For all we know, that newspaper might've helped them, in spite of articles that were negative.

Update: to make matters worse, the Hamas posted the same image concocted by these Haredi extremists on Twitter. So now an image that was primarily used against Haredi soldiers out of spite for the IDF is being exploited by the Hamas for more evil intentions. And that just makes this whole issue even more sickening. More on the topic at i24News.

ALON LIEL CONDONES 2-STATE PROPAGANDA, PLUS THE UK PARLIAMENT'S SUPPORT FOR THAT

A leftist Israeli politician named Alon Liel, former ambassador to South Africa, has voiced his support for 2-state "solutions" in none other than the UK Independent, and says "true friends" of Israel will support it too, like some of the worst politicians you can find in the House of Commons. One of the most offensive lies in his op-ed is:

Mahmoud Abbas has repeatedly demonstrated his commitment to the two-state solution, and his adherence to nonviolence.

Yes, do tell us all about it. Any chance Liel would care to explain this recent case where Fatah, Abbas' movement, threatened to turn Tel Aviv into a fireball? Even Abbas' recent threat of a "political war" is an eyebrow raiser. There's also his recent threat to end security cooperation with Israel. Obviously, Liel's turned his back on these cases deliberately. At the end, he says:

Tomorrow, the British Parliament will vote on a bill that proposes the recognition of a Palestinian state. Such recognition will not harm Israeli interests. On the contrary, only the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state will ensure the continued existence of the sovereign state of Israel along the green line, and will save us from our ongoing deterioration down the slippery slope of apartheid.

I'm sure he's saying this deliberately too, and knows quite well it's not true. It's already harmed Israeli interests by providing a safe zone for terrorists, and will continue to do so, plus give them the chance to set up more rocket smuggling. Anyone who thinks it's not possible is as delusional as Liel is. Say, and why do I get the feeling he sees nothing with say, the Koran's verses condoning child-marriage?
