Mother sad daughter did not kill Israelis who saved her life

The excellent Religion of Peace site has this story about a mother of a failed suicide bomber who was sad that her daughter did not fulfill her wish to kill 30-50 Israelis in the hospital that had saved her life.

Open house for Jew baiters

The Irving and Livingstone cases have provided an open house for all kinds of Jew baiters. General theme of the attacks from the usual left and Islamist front have been "this is all evidence of a Jewish/Zionist conspiracy, no other race is protected in this way etc". The media and phone-ins have been full of them. But particularly bizarre was last Thursday's BBC Question Time when (after a question about the Irving affair) a young lady claiming to be an Oxford History student stated that her "history studies had shown clearly that the Holocaust was minor compared with thousands of other atrocities in history". Cue much clapping from the audience and not a single panelist responding with the obvious question: 'name one'.

Lots of other excellent blog articles relating to this like this one and this one at normblog while if you want to be truly disgusted take a look at the Latest Galloway rant posted at Harry's Place.

Also, while on the subject of Jew-baiters, I've previously posted articles like this, and this about Dubai (the United Arab Emirates) partly in amazement that anybody (let alone Jews) would want to support this country of bin-Laden supporters and funders. Well, now that the USA have incredibly agreed to allow a UAE-owned company to run their ports it turns out that the company actually illegally involved in the boycott of Israeli goods - Michelle Malkin has a report on this. Please remember this stuff when you hear people tell you how wonderful their holiday in Dubai was.

Danish Apology

I don't normally approve of this kind of thing but this is rather good.

Abdel Bari Atwan (aka Abd al-Bari Atwan)

Abdel Bari Atwan is the London-based editor of an Arab Magazine who is wheeled out by every UK media outlet when they want to get some 'true insight' into what is happening anywhere in the Arab world (he is especially loved by Sky News). Today the Sunday Times has his article reflecting on his (ten-year-old) interview with Bin Laden. Interesting stuff, but it is worth remembering that Atwan is ALWAYS completely wrong in just about every analysis, statement, or prediction he ever makes. Immediately after both the Madrid and London bombings he proclaimed that these were NOT the work of Al Quaeda or its sympathisers. Completely typical was his interview on the day Saddam Hussain was captured. He told Sky News that "this was definitely not the real Saddam Hussain because Saddam would not allow himself to be taken prisoner alive." In fact he has been talking complete crap ever since he has been on TV. It was he who, way back in the FIRST Gulf War in 1990, predicted that the allies would not dare to mount a ground attack in Kuwait because the Iraqi Imperial Guard would be able to resist for many months and inflict unbelievable casualties. In the event there was of course a ground attack and it took a whole 4 days to annihilite the Iraqi army. Why the UK media continues to use this idiot is a complete mystery to me.

UPDATE 16 March 2008
In his lead article in the London based Al-Quds Al-Arabi,  Atwan  glorified the terrorist killing of eight teenage students in Israel, and said the celebrations in Gaza that followed symbolized the "courage of the Palestinian nation." He added that the recent violence in Gaza might "mark the countdown to Israel's destruction." Atwan has already been banned from Australia as a result of his declaration, last year, on Lebanese TV that "If the Iranian missiles strike Israel, by Allah, I will go to Trafalgar Square and dance with delight.”

UPDATE 2010
Atwan brought shame to LSE in 2010 when he made an antisemitic speech there that was captured on video.

More 'peaceful' demonstrations


The excellent Jihad Watch has this interesting photo from a cartoon rally in Pakistan. It also has a frightening story (missed in all other media outlets) about the torture and murder of a young Jew in Paris by Islamists.

Also, I notice that all today and yesterday's media outlets are praising the 'peaceful' demonstration by 'moderate Muslims' that took place yesterday in Trafalgar Square. Yet, watching last night's news, I saw that in the very front was a large anti-semitic banner showing a Star of David behind the pen that was drawing the Mohammed cartoons (you see it's the world Jewish conspiracy again). And, I noticed that most of the banners said simply "War on terrorism is war against Islam" - this lot really don't like if we restrict their freedom to kill people. Finally, all the media are very quiet about the massacre of Christians in Nigeria by Muslims protesting against the cartoons.

What Hamas is telling its own people

Further to my previous reports (such as this) here is more information on what Hamas is saying in Arabic rather than to the European appeasement merchants (courtesy Palestinian Media Watch). Basically it is their intention to kidnap Israelis in exchange for their own terrorist prisoners in Israel. And these prisoners include those involved in the massacre of 30 Israelis celebrating the Passover feast in 2002 - prisoners who not only show no remorse but who regard what they did with the greatest of pride, and vow to repeat their actions when they are set free.

Now Google caves into Islamists

It appears that as a result of complaints by Islamists Google has censored the blogspot website "The Study of Revenge". When you click on the site you get a warning message from Google, about the offensive nature of the site, which you have to agree to understand before being allowed in. As the Jawa Report website reveals:

"I've contacted Google (which owns Blogger and .blogspot) about dozens of terrorist websites run from .blogspot accounts. They have NEVER taken down those largely Arabic websites advocating the murder of Jews and Christians, yet, if you go to The Study of Revenge website which lampoons Islam they feel it necessary to warn you of offensive material. So, first Google caves to the Chinese and then they cave to thin-skinned Muslims."

Russian insanity (West sure to follow)

The very same Hamas leader Marsh'al who vowed the destruction not just of Israel but also the Western civilisation with nuclear bombs and chemical weapons (see recent posting) has now been invited to meet President Putin in Moscow. Putin said that "Russia did not consider Hamas a terrorist organization". So that's alright then.

What we are seeing in this third world war is exactly what happened in the second. The stage of appeasement of the Islamafascists. These appeasers have already accepted Israel as the Czechoslovakia of this war.

Palestinians destroy livelihood given to them

When the Israelis evacuated Gaza they left behind the hugely impressive and profitable greenhouses in Gush Katif, which had been lovingly developed over many years. In fact (Jewish) international donors bought them from evacuated settlers for the benefit of the Palestinians. Guess what? Haaretz reports today that the very people who were assigned by the Palestinian Authority to guard the greenhouses have in fact ransacked them. Full story here.

Let the Hamas appeasers read this

Read the following translation from an address by Hamas leader Khaled Mash'al at a Mosque in Damascus (also aired on Al-Jazeera TV) on February 3, 2006. Note the threat of a nuclear and chemical attack. I'll send a copy of this to Jack Straw and ask him if he expects Israel to make concessions with these people (as they have already been asked to do):

http://memri.org/bin/latestnews.cgi?ID=SD108706

Some snippets:

"I say to the [European countries]: Hurry up and apologize to our nation, because if you do not, you will regret it.

"Tomorrow, our nation will sit on the throne of the world. This is not a figment of the imagination, but a fact. Tomorrow we will lead the world, Allah willing. Apologize today, before remorse will do you no good. Our nation is moving forwards, and it is in your interest to respect a victorious nation.

"Before Israel dies, it must be humiliated and degraded. Allah willing, before they die, they will experience humiliation and degradation every day.

"Their (Israel's) weapons will be of no avail to them. Their nuclear weapons will be of no use to them. They thought that they had hegemony over the region with their nuclear weapons, but suddenly Pakistan popped up with Islamic nuclear weapons, and they are afraid of Iran and several Arab countries have some chemical weapons.

"Hamas has a vision. Hamas has a plan. Hamas can manage the political battle, just like it managed the military battle, but in a different language, with different tools, and recognizing Israel is not one of them. Nor is giving up the rights, giving up the right to resistance, and nor is giving up the weapons of the resistance.

Israeli player banned from Dubai

From today's News of the World: "Bolton defender Tal Ben Haim will be home alone when his team fly to Dubai today because he is BANNED from the country. Wanderers are jetting out to escape the big freeze but, as an Israeli, Ben Haim is barred from entering the UAE".

Call me old-fashioned, but out of respect for one of its most important employees (Ben Haim has probably been Bolton's best player this season) you would have thought that the club would have the decency to pick a civilised place where ALL its employees could go for its mid-winter 'jolly'.

And a simple reminder to the 95% of Brits who actually do not know the following fact: Dubai is in the UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. Yes, that IS an Arab country, and most of its citizens are especially big fans of Osama Bin Laden, so just remember that when they welcome you into their 7-star hotels. And when you are paying your bills there also remember that some of that money is going straight into the coffers of Al Quaeda as 'protection' to ensure Dubai is not targetted by the terrorists.

The Cartoon Jihad

For those of you who don't know about the latest Jihad, I suggest you look here or here. It never ceases to amaze me what makes the Islamists outraged. Suicide bombings? nagh. Genocide in Darfur? nagh. Beheading journalists? Nagh. Mildly satyrical cartoons mocking Islamic rejection of free speech - YES - let's mount a jihad for that. And the disgusting hypocrisy of it all, from the very same people who mass produce virulent anti-semitic cartoons expressly intended to whip up racial hatred.

Western delusions about Hamas increasing all the time

The popular view among many Western analysts is that Hamas in government will moderate their views about destroying Israel. Much of this is based on suggestions by certain Hamas spokesmen that they might consider a 'long-term' truce 'even up to 15 years'. The (fortunately now deceased) 'spiritual leader' of Hamas Sheikh Yassin actually spoke about the possibiliy of such a truce a few years ago, so there is nothing new here. In fact, what Western analysts never ask is what happens at the end of the truce and why Israel should be bullied into being a partner to it. In fact such a truce is part of the explicitly stated long-term strategy of Hamas to destroy the state of Israel. He actually said that the year 2027 (plus or minus 5) was when Israel would be destroyed (see his quote here). It makes perfect sense for Hamas to want to live in peaceful coexistence for 15 years. That way they can build up the state of Hamistan, with full recognition by the world community. This will also enable them to build up their army and weapons because Israel would not be allowed even by the Americans to do anything about it while there was 'peace'. Then, without notice or provocation Hamas will, with Iranian nuclear suport, strike to destroy Israel.

Of course it is comforting to know that once Hamas and Iran achieve their aim of destroying Israel, nations such as Belgium and Denmark would be prepared to 'rebuke' Hamas and Iran and even call in their ambassadors to express their disapproval. They might even threaten to refer them to the UN Secuity Council if they did it again - but of course such a move would be blocked by Russia and China in order not to inflame Islamic nations (which will probably include France by then anyway).
