YNet News - Arab MKs rush to praise move taken by Minister Ophir Pines-Paz, who resigned from government following Lieberman's inclusion. MK Zahalka: World should punish Israeli government for Lieberman's inclusion like it punished Austrian government for Haider's inclusion.
Shimon Peres is an insidious coward who immediately grabs his ankles every time a moslem walks by him with a hard-on. One wonders just how much of Arafat's diseased spooge went down Peres' throat before he died of AIDS. This is when MZ becomes outraged with politics in Israel and starts calling Medinot Israel a "failed state".Ynet News - Vice Premier Shimon Peres is meeting with Knesset members from left and center to garner support for presidential bid. During meetings Peres gives his political vision, and explains why he is better than Likud rival Reuven Rivlin because of position on releasing prisoners
Sources within the Knesset say that people close to Peres have told MKs from the left, that if he were to be elected president, Peres will strongly consider pardoning Palestinian prisoners in a deal to release the kidnapped soldiers. On the other hand, there is a feeling in the Knesset that Rivlin will not sign any pardon for Palestinian prisoners.
MKs from the Labor have also confirmed these words, saying they have heard them from Peres before.
Ynet News - Following their meeting in Jerusalem Wednesday, an agreement was reached between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz. Israel Our Home was to join the government and the Labor faction was to receive ‘perks’ as an incentive to remain in the coalition.
Rehavem "Ghandi" Zeevi, the founder of the Molodet Party and the National Union, was murdered by terrorist vermin 5 years ago today, at the age of 75, outside of a hotel in Jerusalem.
Yisroel Beteinu ("Israel our Home"), a party that won 11 Knesset seats in Israel's last general election by pretending to be "right of center", has today done what so many other parties in Israel's corrupt parliamentary system have done over the years: Sold out to the Left in order to gain personal political power and wealth.Ynet News - An internal memo, recently discovered by the British media, revealed what the BBC has been trying to hide. Senior figures admitted in a recent 'impartiality' summit that the BBC was guilty of promoting Left-wing views and anti-Christian sentiment.
Most executives admitted that the corporation’s representation of homosexuals and ethnic minorities was unbalanced and disproportionate, and that it leaned too strongly towards political correctness, the overt promotion of multiculturalism, anti-Americanism and discrimination against the countryside.
A truly shocking revelation to come out of the summit was expected to invoke a storm in Britain, which has already reached the boiling point with regards to the treatment of Muslims and the issue of the veil.
For the purpose of illustration, the executives were given a scenario in which Jewish Comedian Sasha Baron Cohen would participate in a program titled ‘Room 101’, a studio program where guests would be asked for their opinions on different issues, and allowed to symbolically throw things they hated in a garbage bin.
The executives were asked what they would do if Cohen decided to throw ‘Kosher food’, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bible, and the Koran in the garbage bin.
The executives said they would allow everything to be thrown in the garbage bin, save the Koran, for fear of offending the British Muslim community.
Worldnet Daily - A man arrested as a terror suspect for allegedly trying to transport $340,000 from a group tied to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, and who reputedly had connections to Osama bin Laden, helped write the "Religious Expression in Public Schools" guidelines issued by President Clinton during his tenure in office.
And that could explain why students at a California school were told as part of their required classes they would become Muslims and pray to Allah – and a federal judge approved that, and why an Oregon school this year is delivering similar lessons to its students, as WND has reported.
Abdurahman Alamoudi, who was president of the American Muslim Council and a supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah, worked with President Clinton and the American Civil Liberties Union when the guidelines, launched by Clinton in 1995, were being developed, according to reports.
When Clinton issued the guidelines, he announced that they had been developed by "35 religious groups" but didn't disclose that many of those were civil rights organizations such as the ACLU, and committed whole-heartedly to the separation of church and state.
Ynet News - The US State Department filed an official complaint against the Israeli government Tuesday at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, saying that Israel caused problems for American citizens of Palestinian origin and limited their entry and exit of the territories. The complaint was filed following instructions from US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice herself.
A career terror-supporting attorney, who was found guilty of treason for smuggling the messages of an imprisoned moslem terrorist to his moslem terrorist contacts on the outside, was let off the hook today by a leftist judge who during sentencing gushed over her "glorious history" of representing "poor, disadvantaged and unpopular clients"."I don’t believe in anarchistic violence, but in directed violence. That would be violence directed at the institutions which perpetuate capitalism, racism, and sexism, and the people who are the appointed guardians of those institutions, and accompanied by popular support."
"The September 11 terrorist attacks on America were an "armed struggle" like Hiroshima and Dresden. I have a lot of trouble figuring out why that is wrong, especially when people are placed in a position of having no other way."

Arutz Sheva - United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Wednesday America could have no greater legacy than to have divided the Land of Israel and established a Palestinian state to end the "humiliation of occupation."
Rice made the statements at a dinner marking the third anniversary of the American Task Force on Palestine."The Palestinian people deserve a better life, a life that is rooted in liberty, democracy, uncompromised by violence and terrorism, unburdened by corruption and misrule and forever free of the daily humiliation of occupation," Rice said. "I promise you my personal commitment to that goal."
"I believe there could be no greater legacy for America than to help bring into being a Palestinian state for people who have suffered too long, have been humiliated too long," Rice added.
Jerusalem Post - Some Muslim taxi drivers serving the airport declared, starting about a decade ago, that they would not transport passengers visibly carrying alcohol, for example, in transparent duty-free shopping bags. This stance stemmed from their understanding of the Koran's ban on alcohol. A driver named Fuad Omar explained: "This is our religion. We could be punished in the afterlife if we agree to [transport alcohol]. This is a Koran issue. This came from heaven." Another driver, Muhamed Mursal, echoed his words: "It is forbidden in Islam to carry alcohol."
The issue emerged publicly in 2000. On one occasion, 16 drivers in a row refused a passenger with bottles of alcohol. This left the passenger, who had done nothing legally and morally wrong, feeling like a criminal. For their part, the 16 cabbies lost income. As Josh L. Dickey of the Associated Press put it, when drivers at the airport refuse a fare for any reason, "they go to the back of the line. Waaaay back. Past the terminal, down a long service road, and into a sprawling parking lot jammed with cabs in Bloomington, where drivers sit idle for hours, waiting to be called again."
To avoid this predicament, Muslim cabbies asked the Metropolitan Airports Commission for permission to refuse passengers carrying liquor, or even suspected of carrying liquor, without their being banished to the end of the line. The airport authority rejected this appeal, worried that drivers might offer religion as an excuse to refuse short-distance passengers.
The number of Muslim drivers has by now increased, to the point that they reportedly make up three-quarters of the airport's 900 cabdrivers. By September 2006, on average, Muslims turned down three fares a day on booze-related grounds. According to airport spokesman Patrick Hogan, this issue has "slowly grown over the years to the point that it's become a significant customer service issue."
...WITH THIS in mind, MAC proposed a pragmatic solution: drivers unwilling to carry alcohol could get a special color light on their car roofs, signaling their views to taxi starters and customers alike...From the airport's point of view, this scheme offers a sensible and efficient mechanism to resolve a minor irritant, leaving no passenger insulted and no driver losing business.
But on a societal level, the proposed solution has massive and worrisome implications. Among them: The two-light plan intrudes Shari'a law, with state sanction, into a mundane commercial transaction in Minnesota.What of taxi drivers beyond those at the airport? Other Muslim hacks in Minneapolis-St. Paul and across the country could well demand the same privilege. Bus conductors might follow suit. The whole transport system could be divided between those Islamically observant and those not so.
Why stop with alcohol? Muslim taxi drivers in several countries already balk at allowing seeing-eye dogs in their cars. Future demands could include not transporting women with exposed arms or hair, homosexuals, and unmarried couples. For that matter, they could ban men wearing kippas, as well as Hindus, atheists, bartenders, croupiers, astrologers, bankers, and quarterbacks.
The airport authority has consulted on the taxi issue with the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society, an organization the Chicago Tribune has established is devoted to turning the United States into a country run by Islamic law. The wife of a former head of the organization, for example, has explained that its goal is "to educate everyone about Islam and to follow the teachings of Islam with the hope of establishing an Islamic state."
Worldnet Daily - Another school has been "teaching" Islam by having students study and learn Muslim prayers and dress as Muslims, and a lawyer who argued a previous dispute over this issue to the U.S. Supreme Court said such methodologies wouldn't "last 10 seconds" if it were Christianity being taught.
"Would it have been 'just cultural education' if students were in simulated baptisms, wearing a crucifix, having taken the name of St. John and with praise banners saying 'Praise be to Jesus Christ' on classroom walls?" asked Edward White III, of the Thomas More Law Center.
His comments came after a new protest arose in Nyssa, Ore., where one parent raised objections when the Islamic teachings came to light. The district there, according to Supt. Don Grotting, is teaching a chapter in a history textbook "Journey Across Time" that talks about "how civilization has developed and some of the particular aspects of Islam.""We teach out of the book, and there are some supplemental class activities," he told WND. "The kids do some skits, they could bring a food from the region, you could build a prop that would have depicted (something) maybe during that time period.
"If you wanted to you could dress up (as a Muslim) for extra credit," he said.
He said students also learned about the climate of the Middle East, the food and everyday activities of Islam, and the geography and the lay of the land.
Still another assignment was to learn the "five pillars" of Islam, study Ramadan and listen to guest speakers including an American Muslim who arrived dressed in her religious costume to talk to the kids about her Quran.
"She relayed to the kids, if you're a Christian you have your Bible, this is our Quran," Grotting said.
Why not have Intro to Nazism as long as we're at it and show how much fun Octobrefest is, how nicely the umpa-bands can play, how cool it is to make your own swastikas, teach the fine organizational skills of Hitler and the SS, explain why the aryan race really is so wonderful, and then have all the kiddies dress up in leiderhosen and sing Deutcheland Uberalis just for kicks?
Maybe Mafia 101? Have a cooking class to show how fun and yummy Italian food is, teach about all the important community work the Mob does, have Gangster dress up day, and throw a toy machine gun contest??
Wait, how about Serial Killer Month where all the kids dress up as their favorite mass murderer and write letters of support to them in jail? Maybe have "last meal day", and then discuss how much better therapy works to stop crime than punishment?
Sick. The coddling must end. Think the elementary schools taught the virtues of Nazism and Japanese imperialism during WWII? We will never win this war until islam is directly targeted as the enemy, the koran is outlawed, and the moslems all are rounded up, jailed, and then expelled for being part of a terrorist organization.
Are there nice moslems? I would imagine there are. Islam, however, is a terrorist organization and you can't have it both ways. If you choose to belong to a terrorist organization than you must pay the consequences, period.

(IsraelNN.com) Kadima Knesset Member Amira Dotan Sunday evening joined a growing group of leaders who have admitted that last year's demolitions of Jewish communities and expulsion of the residents were a mistake. "I am embarrassed at what we did," MK Dotan said during a tour organized by former Gush Katif communities.
Last week, Kadima MK Tzachi HaNegbi said the expulsions and demolitions, which the government termed "disengagement," were a mistake because "they were interpreted as weakness, which brought about attacks" from the south and north.
Recently, the retiring Chief Rabbi of the IDF Yisrael Weiss publicly questioned whether the expulsion plan was in vain, and Major-General Yiftach Ron Tal attacked both the military and political establishment for establishing and carrying out the program.
Worldnet Daily: JERUSALEM – Hamas has succeeded in smuggling "hundreds of tons" of weapons from Egypt into the Gaza Strip and is preparing for the possibility of launching a large-scale conflict with Israel, according to a report by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party.
The report, drafted by Fatah's General Security Services and obtained by WND, stated Hamas has smuggled from the Egyptian Sinai desert between several hundred and 1,300 tons of advanced rockets; anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles; rocket propelled grenades; raw explosives; rifles; ammunition; and other heavy weaponry.
Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip last year. In a deal brokered in November by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the Egypt-Gaza border, once controlled by the Jewish state, now is manned by Egyptian and Palestinian security officials and is observed by European monitors. The monitors reportedly have fled their duty several times the past few months.
"We learned from Hezbollah's victory that Israel can be defeated if we know how to hit them and if we are well prepared," Abu Ahmed said. "We are importing rockets and the knowledge to launch them and we are also making many plans for battle."
"The Sinai is an excellent ground for training, the exchange of information and weapons and for meetings on how to turn every piece of land into usable territory for a confrontation with Israel," Abu Ahmed said.
