ARE BLACK MURDER RATES, INCARCERATION RATES, DROP OUT RATES, AND OUT OF WEDLOCK BIRTH RATES THE RESULT OF "WHITE SUPREMACY"?

These four rates tell you all tou need to know abour the sad stae of affairs within the black community.

They are the result of volunatry behavior of blacks and not white anything.

As long as blacks seek to blame whites or capitalism or anything besides themselves the priblems won't get fixed.

The next thing blacks need to do is get off the liberal/democrat party plantation and start supporting politicians and policies that will actually help them - like school choice, school vouchers, and a proliferation of trade schools.

LIBERAL CONTROLLED CITIES HAVE BLOATED EDUCATION BUDGETS, BUT THESE MOSTLY BENEFIT THE TEACHER'S UNIONS AND, VIA THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS/KICKBACKS, THEIR PALS IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.

Remember, the "white power structure" doesn't force black women to have kids out of wedlock, nor does it force them to use drugs, commit crimes - mostly against other blacks.

And remember that most black criminals are convicted by black juries in mostly black counties/democrat-liberal controlled communities.

And another thing: more cops are killed each year than blacks by cops, and blacks murder other blacks 90x more that cops kill blacks.

BOTTOMLINE: If blacks want to attain more, they should get better grades and have fewer bastards.

ADDENDUM: if black households with kids had two parents and two incomes, then they would also be above the poverty rate. In other words, out of wedlock births don't only breed criminals, they breed poverty.

ANTI-SETTLEMENT ADS REMOVED FROM DANISH BUSES

An offensive anti-Israeli campaign was posted on buses in Denmark, and has thankfully been ceased:

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Copenhagen’s public transport agency on Thursday ordered the immediate removal of posters opposing Israeli settlements on the capital’s city buses after getting “a considerable amount of complaints.”

Movia, owned by eastern Denmark local authorities, said the campaign by the Danish Palestinian Friendship Association was “unnecessarily offensive.”

The campaign that started Monday was calling for labels on goods produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

“Our conscience is clean. We neither buy products from the Israeli settlements nor invest in the occupation industry,” the advertisement text read next to photos of two women only identified by their first names.

The company that runs the bus routes must remove the advertisements immediately from the 35 vehicles that displayed the posters, said the agency that is in charge of buses in Copenhagen.

“We got somewhere between 75 and 100 complaints, most of them in English,” Movia spokeswoman Camilla Struckmann told The Associated Press.

Whatever the language of the complainants, objecting was the right thing to do.

BOSNIA'S MODERN EXPORTATION OF MUHAJIDEEN

The country that really started the Balkan war with Serbia is now a place where muhjideen are bred (Hat tip: Jihad Watch):

A magnet for foreign jihadists during its 1990s war, Bosnia is now grappling with the threat from home-grown extremists wooed by the conflicts in Iraq and Syria.

While most Bosnian Muslims are moderates, a few thousand have adopted the ultraconservative Salafist brand of Sunni Islam introduced by the fighters who flocked to Bosnia from North Africa, the Middle East and Asia during the 1992-1995 conflict between Serbs, Muslims and Croats.

Most of those foreign fighters, or “mujahedeen”, left Bosnia when the war ended.

But the seed had already been sown. Twenty years on, the radical preachers giving fiery sermons in “mesdzids”, or improvised prayer halls, are no longer foreigners.

Those taking up arms are also local men.

On Monday, a gunman shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is greatest” in Arabic) opened fire on a police station in the eastern town of Zvornik, killing one officer and wounding two others before being killed in a shootout.

The assailant, identified as 24-year-old Nerdin Ibric from a village near the northeastern town of Zvornik, was suspected of links to radical Islamist groups. Another man, said to have travelled to Syria, was arrested Tuesday over the attack.

Suspected Islamist extremists had made their presence felt before in the Balkan country.

In October 2011, a gunman opened fire on the US embassy in Sarajevo, wounding a policeman before being injured himself and arrested.

In June of the previous year, a man set off an explosive device at a police station in the central town of Bugojno, killing one officer and wounding six others in what the government called a “terrorist act”.

And this is the country Bill Clinton's administration thought we should all side with. Don't take the "moderate" part at face value, because Bosnia was the one who fueled the fire back in the day.

40th ANNIVERSARY OF THE COMMUNIST VIOLATION OF THE PARIS PEACE ACCORD

REMINDER - VIA PBS:

"March 1973 

The last American combat soldiers leave South Vietnam, though military advisors and Marines, who are protecting U.S. installations, remain. For the United States, the war is officially over." 

1973. Saigon didn't fall until two years later - 1975, AND THAT'S TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY! And Saigon and South Vietnam ONLY fell because the Democras in Congress pulled the plug on financing the South Vietnamese, so they could not withstand the invasion by the North Vietnamese communists - an invasion in direct violation of the Paris Peace Accords.

REMINDER:

Obama and the Democrat doves in Congress basically did the same thing to Iraq and Afghanistan.

REMINDER:

3 MILLION Vietnamese died in the war - and not long after they violated the Paris Peace Accord and invaded, the North Vietnamese communists were BEGGING for foreign capitalists to invest - an investment they could have had starting in 1965 - with NO WAR!

EVERY SINGLE VIETNAMESE LIFE LOST WAS A RESULT OF THE COMMUNISTS.

All of Vietnam could have been another South Korea starting in 1965 if it were not for the communists of the north.

Instead, because of the communists, they had to lose 3,000,000 lives and wait 20 years for that investment.

Here is what Saigon/"Ho Chi Minh City" looks like today:

CAPITALISM made this city what it is today.

It is a crime that the city is named for the man who - more than anyone else - cost the Vietnamese 3,000,000 lives and squandered decades of development because of his idiotic attachment to a worthless, and failing ideology.

Sigh.

And today, most people don't realize it. They think we lost the war. We didn't lose; the liberal democrats gave the South to the communists. Millions fled; hundreds of thousnads died fleeing. Hundeeds od thousnads whonstayed were put in camps.

What the liberals did in 1975 was immoral and shameful.


Sigh...

AMERICAN ECONOMY STOPS GROWING - CAN ANOTHER GLOBAL RECESSION BE FAR BEHIND?

BBC:

The US economy "all but stagnated" in the first three months of the year, growing at an annual rate of just 0.2%, official figures show. The growth figure was far lower than expectations. Analysts had forecast growth would be about 1%.

NYTIMES:

The biggest component of G.D.P., personal consumption spending, held up O.K., the winter notwithstanding, rising at a 1.9 percent pace. That is a step down from the previous three quarters, however, and suggests that the steep decline in fuel prices in the latter half of 2014 isn’t creating a boom in consumer spending, one of the big mysteries for the economy. In effect, the economy will be fine if consumer spending strengthens to offset the drag on trade coming from the strong dollar, but there was no real evidence that was happening in the first quarter of the year

THE US ECONOMY SUCKS.

MANY STORES ARE CLOSING.

ONLY STOCKS ARE DOING WELL - GLOBALLY - AND IT'S ALL CENTRAL BANK DRIVEN.

ONE FALSE MOVE AND THE S WILL HIT THE F AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WHERE IT ALL STARTED IN 2007, ONLY WITH MORE DEBT AND WORTHLESS CURRENCIES.

STAY TUNED...

HOW ISRAEL CONTRIBUTES TO A BETTER WORLD AT 67

Joseph Puder wrote on Front Page Magazine about how Israel's withstanding modern enemies and how it's contributing to bettering the world today with medical technology, for example.

DOONESBURY'S GARRY TRUDEAU FOR SHARIA

Robert Spencer wrote more about Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau's victim-blaming, and how he only dug a deeper hole:

Trudeau’s words, understandably, incited controversy, and so on Meet the Press last week he attempted to clarify his earlier remarks and dispel the impression that he was blaming the victims for the massacre. However, he only ended up digging the hole deeper and affirming his submission to violent intimidation and implicit acceptance of Sharia blasphemy laws.

In an interview with a fawning and obsequious Chuck Todd, Trudeau assured the world that the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists were “not at all to blame,” but then immediately relapsed into blaming them for their own murders, saying: “I didn’t agree with the decisions they made that brought a world of pain to France.”

Yet it was the jihad mass murderers, not Charlie Hebdo, that brought a world of pain to France. If they had not been willing to commit mass murder in the service of Sharia blasphemy laws, France would not have experienced any pain at all. On Meet the Press, Trudeau was saying that the proper response to a thug who threatens to kill you unless you shut up was to submit and obey. That would in effect install a thugocracy, allowing those who will kill the most people the most ruthlessly the right to rule.

Trudeau also hastened to avow that he would never follow in the blasphemous footsteps of the slain Charlie Hebdo cartoonists: “I wouldn’t draw pictures of the prophet….” This was presumably because, he said, he didn’t “have the right to decide what is sacred and holy and profane for someone else.”

But that is not what is at issue regarding cartoons of Muhammad. There is no question that Muhammad is sacred and holy to Muslims. The question is whether or not that fact obligates anyone else. If I believe something is sacred and holy, does that oblige you also to respect it? Trudeau would apparently say yes. I doubt, however, that he would say the same thing when it came to Piss Christ or the dung-encrusted painting of the Virgin Mary that was exhibited in New York a few years ago. But Christians won’t kill him for offending them.

Back in 1973, Trudeau mocked Jesus in one of the early Doonesbury strips. At this point, I'm convinced he's open to that simply because he knows how easy a target Judeo-Christians must be. I don't know if he's drawn any strips in the past few months attacking the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, but I've got a bad feeling it's going to go way downhill from here. I think it's time already that Trudeau just hang up his gear and retire from cartooning.

1968 Redux, AKA: The Second Coming of postmodernist mayhem

IN THE LATE 1960'S WE HAD AND AGGRESSIVE TYRANNY IN THE USSR, WOODSTOCK AND RACE RIOTS AND FREE SEX AND LOVE, DRUGS...

A GENERAL ATTACK BY POSTMODERNISM ON TRADITIONAL JUDEO-CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION.

THE SAME CONFLUENCE OF EVENTS TODAY - AND FOR THE SAME REASONS:

TODAY'S NYTIMES FRONT PAGE: GAY MARRIAGE AND RIOTS...

POSTMODERNISM ATTACKS CIVILIZATION AND THEN THE CRETINS, EVIL-DOERS, AND THEIR RUNNING DOGS AND LACKEYS STEP INTO THE VOID...

WITHOUT THE VALUES AND INSTITUTIONS WHICH HAVE MEDIATED AND MODERATED HUMAN BEHAVIOR FOR 3000 YEARS, CHAOS REIGNS...

POSTMODERN LEFTISTS FOMENT THAT CHAOS IN THE HOPE THAT THEY CAN SEIZE POWER IN THE AFTERMATH. IT'S THEIR GRAMSCIAN AGENDA.

AND WITH OBAMA IN THE WHITE HOUSE, IT'S ONCE AGAIN WORKING...

SIGH.

THE SECOND COMING
WB YEATS

Turning and turning in the widening gyre  
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere  
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst  
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.  
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out  
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert  
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,  
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,  
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it  
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.  
The darkness drops again; but now I know  
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,  
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,  
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

DEBLASIO'S POLICIES TURNING NYC INTO ANOTHER CHICAGO, DETROIT AND BALTIMORE

TODAY: NYPOST: 2 dead as mourners open fire at wake

A wake for a Bloods gang member turned into a deadly firefight Monday night when two mourners at a Brooklyn church shot six people, killing two, after a dispute, sources said.
The shots rang out as scores of people were waiting to attend the wake for José “Cheo” Robles outside the Emmanuel Church of God on Flatbush Avenue near Foster Avenue in Kensington at around 8:30 p.m., according to law-enforcement sources.
“Everybody was waiting in line to pay their respects and a fight broke out,” said a mourner who asked not to be named.
“I saw some punches being thrown, some guy hit the ground and dropped, then the shooting started.”
Witnesses said an argument broke out and two people started firing their weapons.

TODAY: NYPOST: Bratton: Crime will surge if minor offenses decriminalized

Crime will sore to levels not seen since New York’s bad old days if the City Council decriminalizes quality-of-life offenses such as fare-beating, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton warned Monday.
“We are certainly open to additional alternatives to give our officers discretion in lieu of arrest, but if you lose those powers to arrest, that’s where Pandora’s Box is opened and the 1970s, the 1980s have the potential to come roaring back again,” Bratton said.
The city’s top cop also said that “if you remove the ability to have a penalty for [an] offense, then you lose the ability to be in control of the streets.”
Bratton’s dire prediction was his harshest assessment of a plan by Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverto to turn a host of anti-social behavior into civil offenses instead of crimes.

EARLIER THIS MONTH: DAILY NEWS: Murders in New York City continue to rise; 82 people killed as of Sunday, up 16%

Killings continue to rise in New York. Homicides in the city spiked by nearly 16% this year, recently released NYPD statistics show. As of Sunday, 82 people have been murdered in the city — up 11 from the same period a year ago, officials said. Shootings have climbed by 4%, with 258 people being wounded by gunfire so far this year compared with 248 in the first three months of 2014.
Nearly a quarter of the homicides took place in the Bronx, but the neighborhood with the largest amount of homicides was East New York, Brooklyn, where six people were slain.

LAST SUMMER: DAILY NEWS: EXCLUSIVE: NYPD stop-and-frisks drop 99% in Brooklyn, while shootings increase in Brownsville, East New York

The 99 percent stop-and-frisk decrease in East New York and Brownsville comes as shootings in the Brooklyn neighborhoods are on the rise. Cutting back on stop-and-frisk, a hallmark of the Bloomberg administration, was one of Mayor de Blasio’s major campaign promises last year.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'S LIBERAL POLICES WRECKED NYC IN THE 1970'S AND 1980'S.

THESE POLICIES WERE ARRESTED BY REPUBLICAN RUDY GIULIANI - WHOSE CONSERVATIVE POLICIES LOWERED CRIME AND SAVED THE CITY.

NEITHER CHICAGO OR DETROIT OR BALTIMORE EVER HAD A GIULIANI ERA.

THAT'S WHY THEY'VE CONTINUED TO DESCEND UNDER THE YOKE OF LEFTISM... FOR DECADES.

WHAT WE SAW IN FERGUSON AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN BALTIMORE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THOSE POLICIES.

AND DEBLASIO IS BRINGING THEM BACK TO NYC.

WITH THE SAME RESULTS - ALREADY.

AS THE POET ASKED: WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN? WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN?

ONLY IN THE TWISTED MINDS OF LEFTISTS

TO LEFTISTS, ISLAMOTERRORISTS LIKE HAMAS ARE FREEDOM FIGHTERS FIGHTING COLONIALISM.

TO LEFTISTS, LOOTERS AND RIOTERS LIKE THOSE IN FERGUSON AND BALTIMORE ARE SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS.

(More photos of Baltimore and The Obama Intidfada here.)

TO LEFTISTS, RACE-BAITERS LIKE SHARPTON AND JACKSON ARE RACIAL HEALERS.

TO LEFTISTS, JEWS ARE INVADERS IN THE HOLY LAND.

TO LEFTISTS, CO2 IS TOXIC.

TO LEFTISTS, A MALE OGLING A FEMALE IS GUILTY OF A MICRO-AGGRESSION, BUT A LESBIAN OGLNG A FEMALE IS LIBERATIONAL.

TO LEFTISTS, OBAMA ENDED THE WAR IN IRAQ BY WITHDRAWING OUR TROOPS ON A HIGHLY PUBLICIZED DEADLINE.

TO LEFTISTS, THE CONTINUING V.A. SCANDAL IS BUSH'S FAULT.

TO LEFTISTS, CITIES THAT HAVE BEEN RUN BY LIBERALS FOR SIX DECADES - LIKE DETROIT AND BALTIMORE AND CHICAGO ARE FALLING APART BECAUSE OF THE GOP AND CONSERVATIVES.

TO LEFTISTS, KILLING A 20 WEEK OLD HUMAN FETUS IS OKAY, BUT WE MUST PROTECT THE SMELT FISH!

TRULY, NOTHING THE LEFT HOLDS DEAR IS RIGHT, TRUE OR GOOD.

(PERSONALLY, I LOVE TO EAT FRIED SMELT.)

AND I LOVE THE TRUTH.

THE TERM "HOMOSEXUAL" IS A MISNOMER

THE REASON IT IS A MISNOMER IS BECAUSE THE TERM "HOMOSEXUAL" IMPLIES THAT A MAN CAN HAVE SEX WITH ANOTHER MAN, AND THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE.

IMPOSSIBLE?!

YES.

A SEX ACT HAS - FOR EONS IN THE WEST - BEEN DEFINED THUSLY:

sex act: (noun) - the act of sexual intercourse.

SEXUAL INTERCOURSE HAS LONG BEEN DEFINED THUSLY:

Sexual intercourse, also known as coitus or copulation, is principally the insertion and thrusting of a male's penis, usually when erect, into a female's vagina for the purposes of sexual pleasure or reproduction, or both.

Since two men cannot perform on each other any act that leads to reproduction, whatever they do is not "sex" - no matter if there is an orgasm, or not.

If one or both perform an act which leads to an orgasm, it is a form of mutual masturbation, and not sex.

They may have oral or anal intercourse, but that is not "sexual intercourse".

They may rub their genitals against anything they want to achieve orgasm - perform any fetishistic act and achieve an orgasm, but whatever they do.... It is not a sex act.

Masturbating is not having sex.

Men who have orgasms with other men - and women who have orgasms with other women - are thus truly "homoerotics", and not "homosexuals".

Here's more proof that what gay people do with each other to achieve orgasm is not sex:

Since legalizing "same-sex marriage", British parliamentarians have recognized that they must also change the definition of non-consummation laws since same-sex couples cannot consummate their relationship.

They cannot consummate it because what they do is not sex.

Bottom-line:

Homosexual is a misnomer, one meant to conflate their status and their erotic acts with men and women who have sex, and meant to conflate their deviant behavior with normative behavior.

The fact that, over the past few years, supporting same sex marriage has become compulsory within the democrat party reveals how far left our culture has become.

I oppose discrimination against homoerotics.

I just feel - as Obama and Hillary did until recently - that civil unions, and not marriage, is the way to afford them legal status as couples.

I agree with Ted Cruz that as a legal matter, it should be left up to the states.

And I would prefer if this experiment proceeded slowly so we could measure the effects on children in these homes.

THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE IT MIGHT NOT BE GREAT.

A SHORT LIST OF THE LEFT'S FANTASY IDEOLOGY

Not one of these basic beliefs of the Left is true:

1. MAN-MADE CO2 IS CAUSING A GLOBAL CLIMATE CATASTROPHE.
2. THERE IS A RAPE CULTURE AND RAPE EPIDEMIC.
3. WHITE, RACIST COPS ARE A MAJOR REASON BLACKS ARE DYING VIOLENT DEATHS. 
4. THE LGBTQ-ETC "RIGHTS" MOVEMENT IS ON PAR WITH BLACK CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.
5. ISRAELI "OCCUPATION" IS THE MAIN OBSTACLE TO MIDDLE EAST PEACE.
6. A NUCLEAR IRAN WOULD NOT BE MAJOR THREAT.
7. OBAMACARE COVERED 45 MILLION UNINSURED AND ELIMINATED HEALTHCARE PROBLEMS IN THE USA.
8. GLOBAL JIHAD WAS CAUSED BY BUSH AND IT'S STILL HIS FAULT.
9. THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC STAGNATION WAS CAUSED BY BUSH AND IT IS STILL HIS FAULT.
10. PEOPLE WHO ARE CRITICAL OF OBAMA ARE RACISTS
11. ABORTION DOES NOT ENDING A LIFE.
12. SOCIALIST POLICIES HAVE LIFTED MORE PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY THAN CAPITALISM AND THE FREE MARKET.
13. APPEASEMENT LEADS TO PEACE.
14. WAR NEVER SOLVED ANYTHING.
15. GUN CONTROL LOWERS GUN CRIME.
16. URBAN CITIES UNDER DEMOCRAT AND LIBERAL CONTROL FOR FIVE DECADES ARE DOING TERRIBLY BECAUSE OF GOP AND CONSERVATIVE POLICIES.
17. WOMEN EARN 75% OF WHAT MEN EARN BECAUSE OF SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION.
18. LESS CONTROL OF LOCAL SCHOOLS BY PARENTS, AND MORE CONTROL BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WILL IMPROVE RESULTS.
19. 20 SCHOOL VOUCHERS AND SCHOOL CHOICE ARE BAD FOR POOR PEOPLE AND THE UNDERCLASS.
20. GUARANTEED BENEFITS FOR MEMBERS OF GOVERNMENT UNIONS ARE GOOD, AND DEFINED CONTRIBUTIONS BY UNION MEMBERS ARE BAD.
21. BANKS - AND NOT FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC AND FEDEA; HOUSING POLICIES CAUSED THE HOUSING BUBBLE.
22. THE FALL OF SAIGON PROVES US MILITARY LOST THE VIETNAM WAR.
23. IF YOU OPPOSE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION YOU ARE A RACIST.
24. THE USA CAN ABSORB MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS A YEAR WITHOUT ASSIMILATING THEM CULTURALLY.
25. VOTER ID IS  RACIST ATTEMPT TO SUPPRESS DEMOCRAT PARTY VOTERS.
26. THERE IS NO STUDENT LOAN BUBBLE AND NO LOOMING STUDENT LOAN CRISIS.
27. GMO FOOD IA DANGEROUS TO EAT AND DANGEROUS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
28. THE USA SHOULD LEAD FROM BEHIND.
29. HILLARY CLINTON IS AS INNOCENT AS THE DAY IS LONG...

NEARLY EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY THING THE LEFT BELIEVES IN IS WRONG.

SHOULD HIT 5 MILLION VIEWS TODAY....

Thanks everyone..

Keep on fightin', baby!

ISRAEL COMMEMORATES 100TH YEAR TO THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

In Israel, despite the cowardice still taking place in official government recognition, commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in 1915:

Hundreds of Armenians and Israelis alike took part in events to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide in Israel Friday, despite Israel's failure to recognize the mass killings as genocide.

Armenian Jerusalemites gathered in their quarter of the old city on April 24th for a commemorative ceremony during which the head of the Armenian church of Jerusalem rang the bells at the Church of St. James 100 times, symbolic of the centenary of the massacre.

Israel does not formally recognize the genocide diplomatically, nor is the historical event taught in Israeli schools.

Turkey, one of Israel's few peaceful friends in the region, vehemently denies that the deaths were part of a “genocide.” Although it does acknowledge that many Christians were killed by Turkish Ottomans during World War I, it insists that the deaths were part of warfare, and not systematic in nature.

Well here's where this article turns stupefyingly propagandistic. After several years of Recep Erdogan's anti-Israelism unmasked, Turkey cannot be called one of its few "peaceful" friends. And the Post has the gall to claim otherwise? That's very low. Also worth noting here is how this weakness has played into the hands of an anti-religious left-wing party:

“As Jewish people, who went through the Holocaust and know what Holocaust denial means and fight it to this day, we have the moral imperative to show sensitivity to the tragedies of other nations and not deny that genocide took place in the past and continues to happen today.” Meretz Chairwoman Zehava Gal-On said while speaking at the commemoration ceremony in the Armenian quarter. "We must understand the implications of ignoring [other genocides] and recognize the suffering... just as the pope and European Parliament did by recognizing the Armenian Genocide.”

What's ludicrous is that she's one of the same people who've been adamant about endangering Israel to the PLO/Hamas, which obviously makes her own alleged support for Armenia hypocritical. Yet it's amazing a party like Gal-On's would still care, because some liberal politicians quietly dropped support for recognition of Armenia's tragedy when they realized it would only anger Turkey's Islamists, whom they see as allies, and you can be sure Meretz would too.

And Reuven Rivlin didn't make things any better after he upset an archbishop with a weak description:

A quarter of a century ago, as an MK, Reuven Rivlin broke the taboo on acknowledging the Armenian Genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Empire.

Later, as speaker of Knesset, he defied government attempts to have the same subject removed from the Knesset’s agenda and gave the podium to MKs from across the political spectrum to air their views. The Armenian Genocide was a subject of consensus for all legislators.

On Sunday, Rivlin invited some of those former MKs to the President’s Residence, along with Armenian religious and lay leaders, writers Haim Gouri and Haim Be’er, plus IDC President Uriel Reichman, and noted historian Yehuda Bauer, who had also identified strongly with Armenian suffering.

In his address, Rivlin noted that in 1915 members of the Armenian nation were being massacred and some of them found shelter in Jerusalem, including among members of his own family. No one in Jerusalem denied the massacre, he said. “We are morally obligated to point out the facts as horrible as they are and not to ignore them.”

This year, for the first time, the Knesset sent a delegation to Yerevan to mark the 100th anniversary of the tragedy.

Rivlin said in his opening remarks that the Armenian people were among the first victims of modern mass killing.

Archbishop Aris Shirvanian took Rivlin to task, reminding him that he was in the Knesset when Rivlin spoke of the Armenian Genocide. To now refer to it as a “mass killing” was a regressive move, he said.

“I am disappointed,” said Shirvanian, chiding the president.

“This was a backward step on your part. You should have been more courageous as president.”

And I agree with the priest. Maybe it was just a gaffe Rivlin made. But if he chose his wording deliberately, that was incredibly stupid, and it won't do anything to change the thinking of a country that supported the Mavi Marmara jihadists a few years ago.

ANTI-SEMITISM IS RISING AGAIN 70 YEARS AFTER BERGEN-BELSEN

Following the Holocaust Memorial at Bergen-Belsen, Ronald Lauder said:

World Jewish Congress President Ronald Lauder warned Sunday at the ceremony marking 70 years since the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany that history is in danger of repeating itself.

"Seventy years ago, the world was silent and now we are standing on one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in the world,” Lauder said. “We appear to be descending into the same hell today. Anti-Semitism is rising in Europe, neo-Nazi groups are sitting in Parliament in Hungary and Greece, and Iranian leaders repeatedly promise to wipe Israel from the pages of time. To shout against the past while remaining silent about the present is not just wrong; it is outrageous and immoral."

That's just the situation now when Islamofascism is on the rise: world governments vehemently refuse to touch upon the subject, and that's why we're headed for World War 4000.

THEY WERE BORN IN CAPTIVITY, BUT THEY DIED FREE

A small herd of 15 bison escaped from a ranch in Schodack, New York, swam the Hudson River, and crossed the New York State Thruway.

Authorities said Friday the herd was shot and killed because they became a danger after crossing the New York State Thruway. Three men hired by the farm were cleared to open fire Friday afternoon in a stream in woods in the town of Coeymans, about 10 miles south of the capital. Police say the decision was made after experts agreed tranquilizers would not be effective and no portable corrals could hold the animals. Authorities say they escaped Thursday from a farm across the Hudson River in the Rensselaer County town of Schodack. The owner believes they swam across the river to the town of Bethlehem, where they wandered across a busy stretch of Interstate 87 and into neighboring Coeymans.

They were born in captivity, but they wanted to get beyond the fence, and they headed west, towards the Great Plains that their kind once dominated in herds numbering in the tens of millions. They were free for only a few hours. But they were free. They should be a symbol to us, that freedom is worth dying for.

CONGRESS TAKES ACTION AGAINST EU BOYCOTTS OF ISRAEL

Capitol Hill's marked Israel's 67th Independence Day with special steps to oppose boycotts:

Both chambers of Congress marked Israel’s 67th Independence Day with action against efforts to boycott the state.

One day before the anniversary, the Senate Finance Committee unanimously agreed to attach an amendment to a bill that would “fast track” US President Barack Obama’s trade negotiations with Europe, which suggests any trade deal should discourage the EU from promoting boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel.

Fast-track authority allows the US president to negotiate trade agreements that still require the approval of Congress, but that Congress cannot amend.

Another Senate amendment passed a week ago would require the executive to report the participation of foreign companies in BDS activities.

“We may not agree with every Israeli policy, but we cannot allow our potential trading partners in the EU to fall prey to efforts that threaten Israel’s existence,” said Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Maryland), a member of the finance committee and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “Economic tools and trade agreements have been used throughout world history to move governments and change policy, but when these actions seek to delegitimize a country’s right to exist, we need to draw a line.”

They also cannot allow them to turn their own countries into jihad zones, which is now the case in many parts of Europe. Should that happen, it would one day endanger America by having caliphates rise up in Europe, who could even build nuclear technology and be much closer to America, endangering it even more. All Americans who care should protest how European governments are turning their countries into war zones, and how they're failing to improve their own legal systems.
