LIBERAL HYPOCRISY ON LIBYA AND BUSH

I was chatting with a liberal the other day.

He defended Carter's handling of Iran, and Obama's handling of Mubarak and Obama's toppling of Kaddafy.

All of which led to great chaos and a GREAT surge of islamo-fascism and decreased US security.

He attacked the USA's toppling of Mosaddegh in Iran - which led to greater freedom for Iranians and better US security.

And though he was critical of Bush's wars as if they were personal vendettas of the Bush Clan - (despite the fact that both had explicit and bipartisan Congressional support - and were sanctioned by the UN and NATO), he couldn't have cared less that Obama never got ANY approval for Libya, or for the current war on ISIS.

The hypocrisy is ASTOUNDING.

I think it's the result of pure partisanship: leftists feel that their team is allowed to do anything.

And as long as their team pays lips service to their emotional platform - "SAVE THE PLANET!"  - "FREE HEALTHCARE!" - "END THE WAR ON WOMEN!" - "THEY'LL OVERTURN ROE V. WADE!" - "THEIR RACISTS!" - otherwise intelligent liberals will let them lie and cheat and steal and otherwise operate as if they had no principles, and no respect for the rule of law or the Constitution.

It sickens me.

And it informs me:

I now see why - and how - so many Germans went with the flow in the 1930's and let Herr Hitler rise to power and then commit all those horrors....


OBAMA : THE NEW GOP-CONTROLLED CONGRESS :: AL SHARPTON : FREDDIE'S FASHION MART



WITH HIS THREAT TO ILLEGALLY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY GIVE AMNESTY TO 5MILLION PEOPLE HERE ILLEGALLY, OBAMA IS BEHAVING LIKE AL SHARPTON THAN A POTUS.



OBAMA IS TREATING CONGRESS THE WAY AL SHARPTON TREATED FREDDIE'S FASHION MART.



ALL THIS WAS PREDICTABLE, AFTER ALL OBAMA IS REALLY NOTHING MORE THAN A "COMMUNITY ORGANIZER" JUST LIKE SHARPTON.



IOW: A LEFTIST AGITATOR.



AND LIKE SHARPTON OBAMA DOESN'T CARE IS HIS THREATS AND SHAKEDOWNS CAUSE A RACE WAR.

IF ANYTHING VIOLENT HAPPENS IN FERGUSON WHEN THE GRAND JURY DECISION COMES DOWN, I BLAME OBAMA AND HOLDER AND JARRETT AND SHARPTON AND OTHER LEFTIST AGITATORS.

MANY ARE THERE.

LEFTIST AGITATORS, LIARS. SCUM.

BOTH OF THEM. ALL OF THEM.

THERE'S ONLY ONE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OBAMA AND SHARPTON;

ONE KNOWS HOW TO READ A TELEPROMPTER.

OBAMA IS NOT THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF; HE'S THE LEFTIST AGITATOR IN CHIEF.

JUST AS WE PREDICTED.

STAY TUNED...


OBAMACARE COSTS ARE RISING DESPITE GRUBER'S AND OBAMA'S PROMISES THAT OBAMACARE WAS GOING TO CONTAIN COSTS


Americans don't care if other Americans are insured, Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber says in a video from 2010 that's getting renewed attention: They just care about how much their policies are going to cost them. "Barack Obama's not a stupid man, OK?" Gruber, a MIT economist, said at a March 11, 2010, speech at the College of the Holy Cross. "He knew when he was running for president that, quite frankly, the American public doesn't actually care that much about the uninsured. "What the American public cares about is costs. And that's why even though the bill that they made is 90 percent health insurance coverage and 10 percent about cost control, all you ever hear people talk about is cost control."
ER, UM.... ONE LITTLE PROBLEM: COSTS ARE GOING UP!

NYTIMES FRONT PAGE: Affordable Care Act’s Cost of Coverage to Increase in 2015

Many Americans who bought insurance under the health care law could face price increases next year of as much as 20 percent unless they switch plans.
DECEITFUL SOCIALIST SCUM, THE TWO OF 'EM... NO ALL OF 'EM WHO VOTED FOR THIS ABOMINABLE LAW.

GOP IS TRULY THE ONLY NATIONAL PARTY IN THE USA


GEE, I WONDER:

WHERE DO A MAJORITY OF THE STUPID AMERICANS WHO BELIEVED THE OBAMACARE LIES LIVE?


ISRAEL BANS NORWEGIAN DOCTOR FROM ENTERING GAZA

BBC:
A Norwegian doctor has been permanently banned from entering the Gaza Strip by the Israeli government. Dr Mads Gilbert says he was stopped trying to cross into Gaza in October. He called the move "totally unacceptable". 
Israel cited security reasons for imposing the ban. 
Dr Gilbert has treated patients in Gaza for more than a decade. He worked at the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City during the 50-day summer conflict. 
He told the BBC he had never broken any Israeli rules during his spells working in Gaza.
But he suggested that his open reporting of the medical situation in the territory had angered the Israeli authorities. 
"The fundamental reason for the ill health of the population in Gaza is of course the siege and the bombing," he said. An Israeli foreign ministry spokesman, Emmanuel Nahshon, described Dr Gilbert as a "Jekyll and Hyde" figure, hiding behind a cloak of being a humanitarian doctor.
WHO IS HE?

HERE:

WIKI:
In a statement made to Dagbladet in the wake of the September 11 attacks, Gilbert voiced contextual support for the attacks. He said that quote: "also the suppressed have a moral right to attack the United States with the weapons they had to create. Dead civilians are the same whether Americans, Palestinians or Iraqis" and he continued "Terror is a bad weapon, but the answer is yes I support hte attack, within the context I have mentioned"[2]
MORE:
Mads Fredrik Gilbert (born June 2, 1947, Porsgrunn) is a Norwegian doctor, activist and politician from the socialist party Red.[1][2] ... Boycott of Médecins Sans Frontières[edit] 
Though profiling himself as a humanitarian aid worker, Gilbert criticized and encouraged people to boycott the humanitarian aid organization Médecins Sans Frontières, for not taking a position in a conflict, and criticized the political line of this statement.[47] He also worked against the training of new Norwegian medical personnel assigned to the ISAF forces in Afghanistan. His activism resulted in the ceasing of training of medical personnel at his medical department, and a following shortfall of qualified doctors in both the Norwegian military force and humanitarian effort in Afghanistan.[48] 
On being a doctor as well as a politician, Gilbert has said the two roles are indistinguishable, and that "there is little in medicine that isn't politics".[49]
HE IS A WORSE MONSTER THAN JEKYL/HYDE. 

HE IS AN EVIL AGITATOR OF THE ANTI-WEST LEFT..

AND THEREFORE HE'S A PERFECT ALLY FOR THE ISLAMIST SCUM IN GAZA.


US NAVY SAILORS ASSAULTED IN TURKEY


Via United With Israel, a video showing 3 American sailors being attacked in Turkey by a dozen Turkish Muslims. And for all we know, the culprits might not even pay for their crime. Truly awful.

THE TROUBLE WITH A HAREDI THEOCRACY IN AMERICA

Jonathan Kay, the Canadian writer who spoke about the issues with Islam and Haredi society at least a year ago, has written again about the topic in the National Post, but again, he's apparently doing it at the expense of concerns over Islam. He begins with:
Remember the great Shariah-law freakout of 2004? A decade ago, the province of Ontario examined the question of how the province’s Arbitration Act could be applied to religious disputes involving inheritance and family law. Various faith groups, including Jews, had been quietly running small-scale local tribunals for years. But post-9/11, the stakes were raised: When the Islamic Institute of Civil Justice announced that it intended to create tribunals for Canadian Muslims, culture watchdogs warned that the whole project really was about Shariah taking over Canada. Then-Premier Dalton McGuinty read the political winds and declared: “There will be no sharia law in Ontario. There will be no religious arbitration in Ontario. There will be one law for all Ontarians.”

In the United States, the fight over shariah law’s alleged encroachment has been even fiercer: Since 9/11, lawmakers in just about every bible-belt state have introduced some form of “anti-Shariah” legislation. And groups such as the “Sharia Awareness Action Network” hold conferences to warn Americans about how Muslims are secretly infiltrating all level of government. I’ve attended a few of these events, and can attest that the participants really do honesty believe that their U.S. children and grandchildren may one day live in an Islamic theocracy.
So again he's belittling legitimate worries about Islam's beliefs and influence? That soaks the impact of the argument he's presenting next, because as bad as Haredi customs can be, they're not as awful as Islamofascism, though you could probably argue we should be worried whether one day, Haredi extremists like what Satmar's produced could reach a level much worse than what they go by now. His link to a Daily Beast article hostile to Michelle Bachmann and Frank Gaffney also raises suspicion about Kay's true positions.
Which makes it all the more amazing that a repressive and patriarchal mini-theocracy really does exist in the heart of America’s biggest city — yet few Americans seem to have noticed. More astounding still, the theocrats who run the place owe at least some of their special privileges and powers to the connivance of local secular officials. It’s like the Sharia Awareness Action Network’s worst nightmare — except that it involves Jews, not Muslims.

For the details, read Rachel Aviv’s epic, newly published New Yorker exposé of the massive Hasidic Jewish community in Borough Park, Brooklyn. Aviv’s narrative focuses on a single legal odyssey, which began in 2008, when a Hasidic man named Sam Kellner came to believe that his son had been molested by a neighbourhood cantor named Baruch Lebovits. After Kellner began digging around, he found that there were all sorts of creepy allegations surrounding Lebovits — some involving the accused driving around the neighbourhood, asking boys to get into his car.

Lebovits eventually pled guilty in May, 2014, to molesting a teenage boy. That is a horrible crime in and of itself. Equally horrible is what Aviv’s article tells us about the reaction of the Hasidic community in Borough Park: Most Hasids robotically rallied to Lebovits’ defence, on the theory that Jews shouldn’t rat each other out to the secular state.
Yes, that was horrific how tons of Satmar members took the side of the culprit who committed homosexual rape upon several youngsters. And all condemnations of such a mentality are fully valid. It was also tragic how the DA's office turned against one of the plaintiffs and accused him of blackmail, and at this point, realizing Charles Hynes was not doing a very good job, I'm not sorry he lost his position. The subject of child abuse in Haredi societies is not something that should be ignored.

But what about sex abuse in Muslim societies? Is Kay going to ignore that by contrast? His dismissive attitude about sharia undermines his whole argument about Haredi orwellianism. It's worth noting he fails to cite the heavy reliance many Haredi communities have on welfare and food stamps, especially Satmar. The subject came up in a Village Voice article this week that notes how they're the poorest place you can find in America, though there are Muslims who live off welfare in America too, and that shouldn't be overlooked either. However, it fails to note clearly that Joel Teitelbaum was one major phony, and how stupefying it is he successfully formed a community comprised of groupthink and mind control elements.

Again, the issue of Haredi mentality's bad impact on wider society is something calling for concern. And one can argue Americans are making a mistake to overlook Haredi reliance on welfare at everyone else's expense. But Kay is not fit to comment if he dismisses Islamism by contrast.

ORDER GIVEN TO DESTROY HOUSE OF MUSLIM TERRORIST

An order's been approved for wrecking the house of a jihadist who committed murder in August:
The Home Front Command issued an order Thursday to demolish the home of the Palestinian man who carried out a terrorist attack in central Jerusalem in August.

The terrorist, East Jerusalem resident Muhammed Naif El-Ja’abis, was shot dead by police shortly after running over a pedestrian and ramming a stolen excavator into a bus.

In response to the increasing tensions in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the reinstatement of the policy of demolishing the homes of Palestinians who perpetrate terror attacks in Jerusalem, during an emergency cabinet meeting last week.

The prime minister’s directive came in response to a series of deadly hit-and-run terror attacks in Jerusalem that have killed six people and injured dozens of others.
If there's a whole block of buildings once dwelled in by jihadists, they should all be smashed to bits.

GRUBER'S SWEET LIES

OBAMACARE TURNED OUT TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN...


CHOCOLATE COVERED LIES....



AVIGDOR LIEBERMAN REALLY WAS A PLANT

Dror Eydar addresses the anti-democratic bill leveled against Israel HaYom in the Knesset yesterday, which Tzipi Livni supported, gallingly enough, but Avigdor Lieberman also gave his full backing for:
Livni should not take democracy's name in vain; she should inquire with legal scholars on both the Right and the Left about the degree to which this vile bill hurts democracy, free speech and our public discourse. A media outlet's content should never be grounds for its closure unless it actively promotes sedition or violence. This disgrace is a mark of Cain on the forehead of those who call themselves proponents of democracy and free speech; I am referring to people like MK Merav Michaeli (Labor), MK Ofer Shelah (Yesh Atid), and MK Ruth Calderon (Yesh Atid). Calderon has always advocated a spirited Talmudic-style debate but on Wednesday decided to vote in favor of restricting the marketplace of ideas.

Those supposedly principled MKs also disgraced themselves. What would the late former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir have said had he witnessed his son, Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Yair Shamir (Yisrael Beytenu), vote for the bill? What would the late Irgun officer Haim Landau have thought about his son, Tourism Minister Uzi Landau (Yisrael Beytenu), voting for a bill that stifles the Right's free speech? I am focusing on Yisrael Beytenu MKs for a reason. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who has tried to move this bill forward, is very close to Mozes and a darling of Yedioth.

While Lieberman gets favorable coverage in Yedioth, the conservative-rightist constituents he claims to represent are being badgered over and over again by the paper that used to run a state. That paper now has a competitor it needs to shut down.

Lieberman says his party belongs to the Right. On Wednesday's moment of truth it turned out that this party of his is just a decoy that was used to siphon off votes from the Right for the sake of power and personal vengeance. No one really knows what Lieberman genuinely believes in, on any issue (with the exception of inciting the public against the Arabs). The Right would be well-advised not to build up expectations when it comes to his willingness to safeguard the land of Israel. How ironic is it that MK Ahmad Tibi (Ra'am-Ta'al) and other Arab MKs voted with Lieberman. The next time Tibi laments about the lack of free speech and the infringement of minorities, people should wave a copy of the bill in front of him.
It's time to boycott Yediot Achronot right into the ground. I'm not even going to link to any articles they publish anymore, because I honestly don't see the point of giving them attention at this point; they don't deserve it. And Eydar has a point about Lieberman's willingness to defend Israel being uncertain. This was a man who got involved with potentially corrupt casino magnates, one more reason why he shouldn't be backed.

WHITE HOUSE ON GRUBER: "PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!"



WASHPOST VIA HOT AIR:
The White House sought Wednesday to distance itself from Gruber and his comments. 
“The Affordable Care Act was publicly debated over the course of 14 months, with dozens of Congressional hearings, and countless town halls, speeches, and debates,” White House spokeswoman Jessica Santillo said in a statement. “The tax credits in the law that help millions of middle class Americans afford coverage were no secret, and in fact were central to the legislation. Not only do we disagree with [Gruber’s] comments, they’re simply not true.” 
An administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity sought to play down Gruber’s role in developing the law, noting that he “did not work in the White House.”
MORE LIES FROM TH OBAMA WHITE HOUSE. HOW SHOCKING..

AS RUSSIA, CHINA, IRAN, AND ISIS ASCEND, OBAMA CONTINUES TO HOLLOW OUT THE US MILITARY

NYTIMES:
For the first time since the end of the Cold War in the 1990s, the Army is shrinking.  
Faced with declining budgets, the Army, the largest of the services, cut its force this year to 508,000 soldiers from 530,000, with plans to trim an additional 20,000 troops next year. If funding cuts mandated by Congress continue, the Army could have fewer than 450,000 soldiers by 2019 — the smallest force since World War II. 
The cuts have largely come through attrition and reductions in recruiting, and have, so far, mostly affected low-ranking enlisted soldiers who have served only a few years. 
But this summer, the cuts fell on officers as well, 1,188 captains and 550 majors, many who were clearly intending on making a career of the military. More are expected to lose their jobs next year. And for reasons the Army has not explained, the largest group of officers being pushed out — nearly one in five — began as enlisted soldiers.
IF OBAMA WAS REALLY A MOLE WORKING FOR RUSSIA, CHINA, IRAN, AND ISIS THEN WOULD HE BE DOING ANYHTING DIFFERENTLY?

NOPE.

WE NEED TO HALT THIS AND REBUILD.

BAIT & SWITCH: THOSE WHO WROTE OBAMACARE AND PUSHED FOR ITS PASSAGE COMMITTED FRAUD

FRAUD IS A FEDERAL CRIME - A FELONY:
... under the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the selling ploy of a particular establishment is liable of facing legal action against bait and switch fraud if: 
The advertised product is not shown or sold in agreement with the offer's precise terms 
The advertised product displayed is defective or impractical for the purposed implied in the advertisement. 
The advertised product is strongly criticized or lied about- either regarding the product's guarantee, credit terms, production value, service and repair availability, etc- in hopes of "upselling" to another "better" product. 
I THINK THIS PERFECTLY DESCRIBES HOW OBAMA AND GRUBER WROTE AND SOLD OBAMACARE.

MORE...

WIKI - BAIT AND SWITCH: Politics
In lawmaking, "caption bills" that propose minor changes in law with simplistic titles (the bait) are introduced to the legislature with the ultimate objective of substantially changing the wording (the switch) at a later date in order to try to smooth the passage of a controversial or major amendment. Rule changes are also proposed (the bait) to meet legal requirements for public notice and mandated public hearings, then different rules are proposed at a final meeting (the switch), thus bypassing the objective of public notice and public discussion on the actual rules voted upon. While legal, the political objective is to get legislation or rules passed without expected negative community review.
WHEN OBAMA TOLD US WE COULD KEEP OUR HEALTHCARE INSURANCE IF WE LIKED IT, HE KNEW WE COULDN'T, SO HE COMMITTED FRAUD.

WHEN THEY SAID THERE WASN'T AN OBAMACARE TAX, BUT ONLY A MANDATE, THEY COMMITTED FRAUD.

IT IS OUTRAGEOUS AND UNCONSCIONABLE THAT WE SHOULD ALLOW A LAW PASSED BY LIES AND FRAUD TO PERSIST.

WE MUST DEMAND REPEAL.

AND WE SHOULD SEE OBAMA AND GRUBER AND EVERYONE ELSE INVOLVED IN PERPETRATING THIS FRAUD ON AMERICA PROSECUTED.


ALABAMA APPROVES LAW TO PROHIBIT SHARIA

I almost missed this, but there's good news in the deep south:
Alabama voters passed a constitutional amendment Tuesday to prohibit the use of foreign laws in state courts. Republican state Sen. Gerald Allen, who is also a Baptist deacon, sponsored the amendment. He proposed a similar measure in 2011. It never made the ballot since it made specific mention of Islamic Sharia law, which was deemed a violation of the Constitution. A similar measure was also rejected in Oklahoma last year for the same reason, though the judge who struck it down acknowledged that if the term “Sharia” was removed it could solve the problem. [...]

This time around, Allen’s new bill made no mention of the Islamic term specifically, and he was confident it would appeal to voters' conservative values. “It took several times to rewrite the bill itself, to make sure it was correct and to make sure it would be constitutional,” Allen said on Alabama Public Radio last week. “We as a legislature felt like it’s important to bring this before the people of Alabama to let their voice be heard because we’re living in a changing world."
Very good. They've done the right thing, and proven the state's changed a lot since the days when racism and slavery were a serious problem there.

KNESSET APPROVES ANTI-ISRAEL HAYOM BILL IN SHAMEFULLY ANTI-DEMOCRATIC MOVE

I thought it was possible this could happen in a preliminary vote, and it certainly spells a dark day for democracy:
The Knesset approved a controversial bill meant to shut down the Israel Hayom in a preliminary vote Wednesday.

"This shames the Knesset," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu muttered, walking out of the vote, and was caught on the Knesset Channel's cameras. [...]

Views on Cabel's proposal were split in most parties, and until the 43:23 result, it was unclear to many whether it would pass. Of the MKs voting in favor, 11 were from Likud, seven from Bayit Yehudi and one each from Yesh Atid, UTJ, Meretz, Labor and Kadima. The votes in favor were made up of 12 from Yisrael Beytenu, 10 from Yesh Atid, nine from Labor, four each from Hatnua and UAL-Ta'al, two from Hadash and one each from Kadima and Meretz. Three Shas MKs, two each from Labor and UTJ and one each from Balad and Hatnua abstained.

The bill will go to the Knesset House Committee in the coming days, where MKs will vote on which committee should work on it ahead of its next vote. Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman Ze'ev Elkin (Likud) expressed interest in the bill going to his panel, and he would be likely to effectively bury it. Since Likud MK Yariv Levin leads the House Committee, he could easily facilitate that.

When asked whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would rather call an election than allow the bill to pass, a senior Prime Minister's Office source said that Levin and other Likud MKs could delay further voting on it, and this government probably won't last more than another year before there is another election, anyway.
From what I can tell, Yisrael Beytenu were the ones in the coalition who really voted in favor - they're the ones with 11 members - and that truly puts Avigdor Liberman in a bad light. It wouldn't be a good idea to wait and see if the House Committee's members will put a stop to this, I think legal action has to be taken now to ensure freedom of speech's safety.
Speaking in the plenum, Cabel made no effort to hide the fact that his initiative to shut down free newspapers targeted one specific publication: Israel Hayom.

"This is a bill in favor of pluralism and multiple opinions. It is a battle so that, in a few years, we do not become a country with only one newspaper. Adelson wants to bury a market that is fighting for its life," Cabel stated.

According to Cabel, Israel Hayom sells advertisements at significantly lower prices than its competitors in order to run them out of business, and the newspaper does not exist because of its revenues, rather because Adelson, a billionaire political donor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, funnels money into it.

"I do not oppose ideological journalism, but Israel Hayom is a unique phenomenon. It is all about the cult of personality [of Netanyahu]. Instead of being the watchdog of democracy, it is Netanyahu's attack dog," he said.

Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz responded that Iran and North Korea can learn from Cabel how to close a newspaper that they don't like.
Cabel's arguments are laughable, especially when there's plenty of other free papers who can sell ad space for just as low a price, and even Yediot Achronot's given out some publications for free. There are other left-wing papers that are free now too. Cabel can say whatever he likes, but it's clear he's against Israel HaYom simply because they represent the right.

Yet what's truly alarming is how some right-wing members of the Knesset actually lent their assistance to this darkness, and they'll have to come to terms now with how they can end up losing votes in the next election.
Steinitz pointed out that there are many newspapers in the world with clear political positions, saying that the US Congress would never vote to just close Fox News and not MSNBC.

The minister also quoted a deputy attorney-general who said the bill is unconstitutional, saying he thinks the High Court will cancel the law if it is passed.
We must hope so, though let's not forget a lot of people there are leftist too, so we should be careful in hoping they'll avail too.
MK Moshe Feiglin (Likud) said that few people have been attacked in Israel Hayom as badly as himself, since he represents a clear opposition to Netanyahu within Likud, but that he thinks the bill limits freedom of expression.

"What is this? Since when do parliaments close newspapers? Are we bolsheviks?" Feiglin asked.

MK Shelly Yacimovich (Labor) abstained from the vote, saying she is not in anyone's pocket, referring to pressures lawmakers received from both Israel Hayom and the second-most popular newspaper in Israel, Yediot Aharonot to vote against and for the bill, respectively.

"I have no intention in taking part in a dangerous game in which two newspapers are holding the political system by the throat," she announced before the vote. "Therefore, I will press the 'abstain' button to show my disgust for what is happening. I don't work for anyone."

Deputy Transportation Minister Tzipi Hotovely called the vote "a parade of hypocrisy," accusing "MKs who claim to believe in human rights and freedom of expression chose narrow and personal interests over the basic right to free speech."

MK Motti Yogev (Bayit Yehudi) said the result of the vote marked a dark day for Israeli democracy.
It most definitely is, and his chairman is going to have to now face a lot of people who'll be very angry at his betrayal.

MK Tzipi Hotovely from Likud had something to say:
Deputy Minister Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) has accused right-wing MKs who voted for the "Israel Hayom" bill this morning of hypocrisy. [...]

Hotovely has been a leading critic of the bill, and had some choice words in particular for several right-wing MKs who either voted for the bill or simply absented themselves from the vote.

"I am sorry to see my friends from the Right, who experienced the closure of Arutz Sheva, and fought so many years for freedom of opinion in journalism, disappeared from the vote at the moment of truth and even [in some cases] voted for the closure of a newspaper in Israel," she said.

Hotovely was referring to the closure in 2003 of Arutz Sheva's radio station - a move that was denounced as an attack on free speech at the time, particularly by right-wing legislators and activists - and was also spearheaded by MK Eitan Cabel.

Other nationalist MKs also condemned the bill; Jewish Home party Moti Yogev in particular expressed his sense of "embarrassment" that some members of his party did not oppose the bill.

"I am sorry, and I am ashamed that there are members of the Jewish Home faction whose names are signed on this bill,"
he stated. "I hope that this law will be struck down in the course of the legislation process and that we will not harm freedom of expression in Israel."

"According to these rules we should have closed down Haaretz and Yediot Aharonot a long time ago," he noted, referring to Israel Hayom's left-wing competitors.

"One shuts down a paper only if it is blatantly harming state security, or doing similarly grave things. This is a black day for democracy.”
Again, I agree it is. The most absolutely alarming thing is how people who may have opposed the shutdown of Arutz 7 as an official radio station could suddenly take part in such a punch to the face.

Here's more on JNS, and also on Commentary.

NEW AND IMPROVED ROMNEY DID WELL IN 2014... AND HE GETS IT. WILL HE RUN???

WASHPOST:
Romney, who was in Washington on Friday to speak at the Israeli American Council’s national conference, has experienced a resurgence of sorts in recent months, as dozens of campaigns asked for his assistance. He spent the final days before Tuesday’s elections in Alaska, where he stumped for Republican Senate candidate Dan Sullivan. 
At Friday’s event, Romney sharply criticized President Obama’s foreign policy. “It’s tempting to think he’s just inept,” Romney said, “but the reality is, he does have a foreign policy” — one that is “weakening our military and distancing us from our allies.”
I THINK THE ABOVE PROVES ONCE AGAIN THAT ROMNEY REALLY GETS IT AND THAT HE WOULD MAKE A GREAT POTUS.

WE MIGHT FIND A BETTER CANDIDATE FOR 2016.
WE CERTAINLY COULD DO WORSE.

IT TOOK REAGAN A FEW DEFEATS TO GET THE HANG OF IT.

EVEN LINCOLN LOST TO STEPHEN DOUGLAS A FEW TIMES.

I THINK HE'D BE BETTER THAN JEB AND HUNTSMAN AND SANTORUM ANDTHAT HE'S GOT BETTER EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE THAN RUBIO OR CRUZ.

PERRY WAS A DUD LAST TIME; MAYBE HE'LL IMPROVE THIS TIME - BUT HE'S STILL TEXAN AND A LOT OF THE SWING VOTERS STILL HAVE TEXAS-FATIGUE.

WALKER IS GREAT, BUT NO COLLEGE AND NO MILITARY EXPERIENCE AND HE LOOKS LIKE A KID.

KASICH IS A GOOD ONE: HE'S GOT GREAT EXPERIENCE IN CONGRESS AND AS A GOVERNOR.

MARTINEZ IS GOOD, TOO.

I'D LIKE TO SEE ROMNEY, PERRY, WALKER, MARTINEZ, AND KASICH DEBATE.

ANY OF THEM WOULD MAKE A FINE POTUS. AND A FINE VEEP.

HOW MANY ARABS REALLY LIVE IN JUDEA/SAMARIA

Israel National News has a report telling it's possible that some estimates of how many Arabs live in Judea/Samaria (and Gaza) may be taken out of context, and that the true number is somewhere more in the range of 1.7 million.

Any right-wing politician who votes in favor of sabotaging Israel HaYom discredits his positions

The bill against Israel HaYom was delayed by a week, but may be going to Knesset tomorrow, and any right wing politician who favors it has no business calling themselves pro-Israel. Haim Shine sums it up correctly when he says it's meant to turn Israel into a dark dictatorship:
There are times during which a mirror is placed before the nation, a mirror that reveals the country's political and social core. Akiva Ernst Simon wrote a book titled "Are We Still Jews?" Due to the anti-Israel Hayom bill, the question must be asked whether Israel will continue to be a Jewish and democratic state.

It turns out there are Knesset members who, motivated by outside interests, are willing to take Israeli democracy to the chopping block. Jewish history will never forgive the Knesset members who are seeking to instill here in Israel a withered Diaspora-like existence, which we hoped and prayed for thousands of years to be freed from.

The Israeli national anthem speaks of our aspiration to be a free people in our own land. Yet we cannot be a free people when our legislative branch is trying to prevent a huge part of the public from being able to express itself and exert influence. This is shameful.

The day the anti-Israel Hayom bill is brought for a Knesset vote will be remembered as the day on which a small group of Knesset members decided to turn out the lights on Israeli democracy. It is a great shame that the media commentators entrusted with our freedom of speech are not speaking out loud and clear when it comes to protecting the human rights of right-wingers.
It's also a shame when somebody like Naftali Bennett and Avigdor Lieberman won't support a paper whose purpose was to protect humans rights either, and if they support the bill, then nobody should support their parties any longer. Nor should they continue to buy Yediot Achronot, for that matter.

Owner Sheldon Adelson's already responded:
On Sunday, Adelson spoke to Israeli press about the bill, calling it a power play by Yediot Aharonot publisher Arnon "Noni" Mozes, following a conference of the Israeli American Council, an organization he helps fund, in Washington D.C.

Yediot Aharonot used to be the most popular newspaper in Israel, but was eclipsed by Israel Hayom in recent years.

"I believe when sober-minded people think about [the bill] twice, they'll realize they're creating a dictator," he said. "This is a commercial enterprise so that Noni Mozes can sell his newspaper to a German publisher, or anyone who will pay him enough, so he wants to increase revenue."

According to Adelson, "Noni Mozes has been attacking Bibi and his family for years, for decades, so if we tell the truth about Bibi, there's a contrast."

"I got to hand it to Noni, when he says [Israel Hayom] is Bibi's newspaper, he's trying to discredit and degrade the independence of the newspaper, but it is simply not true…It's just silly. If I were a judge, I'd laugh at it," the billionaire added.
If he needs to, I hope he fights it all the way in court with a lawsuit.

GAME OF THRONES BANNED IN TURKISH ARMY AS THEY BEGIN FORCING SHARIA ON THEIR RANKS

Turkey's continuing Islamization takes its toll on the TV show adapted from George R. Martin's novels:
Turkey's armed forces have introduced new regulations for the country's military schools, according to which classes on Islam will be taught for the first time – and the blockbuster U.S. television series “Game of Thrones” is now banned.

The aim of the new rules is to “protect” students from “sexual exploitation, pornography, exhibitionism, abuse, harassment and all negative behaviors,” according to Hurriyet Daily News.
Correction: the new rule has been established to teach their subjects how to commit many of the above atrocities.
Four military officers were discharged from the army in 2012 for allowing their students to watch “Game of Thrones” in an Istanbul military school.

It was not specified whether the screening was recreational or part of the school curriculum.

Military schools will now function according to an updated set of education regulations drafted by the armed forces. One chapter of the new regulations, reportedly titled “the protection of students,” bans the screening of certain content.

In addition, the fiercely secular military will allow elective classes on Islam, including “basic religious education, the Quran and the life of the Prophet Muhammad.”
They can't be very secular anymore if this passes without opposition. What is it about Game of Thrones they detest? I don't know enough about this whole series, but would wager it evokes the Crusades with its sword and sandal backdrop. It certainly can't be because of the violence I am aware features prominently in the stories.

TWO ANAGRAMS FOR "HOPE AND CHANGE"

HANGED ONE CHAP...
HANGED AN EPOCH.


MUSLIM GANG IN LONDON ATTACKS POLICE WITH FIREWORKS

Not given much notice by the press, there was an attack in east London on a police car by a Muslim gang using fireworks, also described as an attack with a rocket:
A crowd of yobs are caught on CCTV launching a terrifying rocket attack on a police car.

The footage shows a large group gathering on a residential street armed with large display-style fireworks.

A police car is seen slowly driving towards them at about 1am after the alarm was raised.

The youths wait until it is about 100 yards away before lighting up the fireworks and aiming them at the windscreen.

The patrol car disappears behind multi-coloured explosions. Another car parked nearby is also hit by fireworks as the driver tries to escape.
The Evening Standard gives the only clue this was a Muslim who did it:
One man was charged following the incident.

Foyzer Rahman, 24, was charged with arson, possession of cannabis, causing danger to road users and destroying property with intent to endanger life.
Yet he was granted bail, and he may not even go to trial, for all we know.

An extra video is available here.

STILL MORE MURDERS AS JIHAD DEVOURS THE COUNTRY

There were two more murders that took place today:
Two stabbing attacks have been launched on Israelis, killing a young woman and gravely wounding a soldier.

The woman was killed at a bus stop in the West Bank and the Israeli soldier injured in Tel Aviv, with the attacks the latest in an ongoing wave of Arab violence that has put the country on edge.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised a harsh response, saying he will use all means available and consider even tougher steps to stop the unrest.

In a veiled threat to Arab demonstrators in Israel and east Jerusalem, he said attackers should consider moving to the West Bank or Gaza Strip. "Believe me, we will put no difficulties in your path," he said.

Mr Netanyahu spoke after the soldier was stabbed at a crowded train station by a suspected Palestinian assailant in Tel Aviv, but before the deadly attack outside the West Bank settlement of Alon Shvut.

Police said the assailant there stepped out of a car at a bus stop in front of the settlement, then stabbed three people before he was shot by a security guard.

Police said a woman in her mid-20s was killed, while two other people were wounded. The attacker was in serious condition.

In the Tel Aviv attack, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the suspect was from the West Bank city of Nablus, travelling in Israel without a permit and was held immediately after the stabbing.

"He is presently under interrogation," he said.
Those who call themselves "palestinians" and wish nothing but ill to Jews would do well to move away, not just from Jerusalem but from the country in its entirety. They should go to Saudi Arabia for all we care. That's the kind of environment they want, so they might as well start packing and go off to that cesspool.

BOMBSHELL VIDEO: BUSH ADVISOR ADMITS IRAQ BILL WAS DELIBERATELY WRITTEN TO FOOL CONGRESS AND THE PUBLIC

OOOOOOOPS!

I MEANT OBAMA'S CHIEF OBAMACARE ARCHITECT ADMITS ON VIDEO THAT THEY WROTE THE LAW IN SUCH A WAY AS TO HIDE THE TRUTH ABOUT IT FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC:

VIA HOT AIR:



BUT IT GETS WORSE.

AFTER WRITING OBAMACARE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHAT IT WAS REALLY DOING, OBAMA WENT OUT AND LIED ABOUT IT... REPEATEDLY.

WITHOUT THESE LIES THE BILL WOULD HAVE NEVER PASSED AND OBAMA WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN REELECTED.

THESE LIES WERE WORSE THAN ANY LIE CLINTON TOLD ABOUT WHITEWATER OR LEWINSKY.

IF OBAMA HAD A SHRED OF DECENCY THEN HE'D RESIGN.

THE NEXT CONGRESS OUGHT TO REPEAL THE LAW AND IMPEACH OBAMA.

PS: THIS LYING PIECE OF SH*T SOCIALIST A-HOLE GRUBER WAS PAID $300,000 OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO ADVISE OBAMA ON OBAMACARE.

SINCE IT PASSED BECAUSE OF HIS ARTFUL LIES, HE EARNED EVERY PENNY.

IF GRUBER HAD A SHRED OF DECENCY, THEN HE'D RETURN EVERY PENNY.

SERIOUSLY,  IMAGINE IF THERE WAS A VIDEO SHOWING A BUSHCHENEYMCHITLERCHIMPYHALLIBURTON ADVISOR ADMITTING THEY LIED ABOUT 9/11. THERE WOULD BE AN UPROARIOUS OUTCRY FOR IMPEACHMENT. AND RIGHTLY SO.

BUT IN FACT,  IT WAS OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES WHO LIED. KNOWINGLY WITH MALICE AND FORETHOUGHT.

OBAMA LIED; DEMOCRACY DIED.

THEY NEED TO BE PUNISHED ACCORDINGLY.







MUSLIM WOMEN'S RIGHTS ARE TOSSED UNDER THE BUS

Gatestone Institute speaks about the western world's dangerous obsession with Islam:
There are no women's rights in Islam; there are no women's rights in most Muslim countries. And there is no freedom of expression in these countries; people have become virtually voiceless.

To make a positive change in Muslim countries, we need to be able to speak openly, without putting one's life at risk, and tell the (too-often criminalized) truth about what Islamic teachings and traditions actually contain.

If one is called "racist" or "Islamophobe," the answer is that these are the accusations bullies always use to silence those who disagree with them. The real Islamophobes are those who degrade, abuse and kill their fellow Muslims.

If oppression of women is rooted in the culture, shouldn't one be asking, 'what makes a culture that misogynous?'

There is a situation even more frightening. It now seems to be difficult to speak openly about fundamentalist Islam even in Western countries. The worst thing any Western progressive or feminist can do is to stay silent.
That's just why I think oppressive laws have to be confronted as much as Islam itself. And till this day, I can't understand why that doesn't seem to have happened.
