UAF~ Celebrating Violence Against Women

George Galloway~UAF Darling

I am not taking sides for or against the EDL, however, I most certainly would not have anything to do with these disgusting thugs from the UAF, who are a complete waste of skin. They, along with their favorite hate-monger, George Galloway need to be shipped off to the Islamic countries they love so much.

Listen carefully to what these degenerates are saying.  In the second clip you need to watch the slow motion at the end closely~but you can see these brave men kicking a woman down on the ground. At the beginning of the second clip  (:05) the PA kaffiya tells me what UAF really stands for~and that  most certainly is not good for England or any free democratic country!

I don't care who the woman was, nobody should be brutally attacked like this in the middle of the day--in London!! More to the point, why should any street in London be off limits to anybody?  If the UK is a free country why on earth do they have No Go Zones? Why weren't those that attacked the bus arrested immediately?

The text posted with the videos reads as follows:  The woman had her jaw broken by the UAFs, but is now back from the hospital. She had been dragged out from a back-door and beaten to the ground~ALL prior coaches went another route-police are seeking witnesses. (Yes, yes, I am sure they are)  On second thought, I would definitely feel safer among the EDL...

Watch the Slow Motion at the End...

An Elephant Never Forgets~Seriously!

We've all seen elephants in zoos and of course, in circus performances, but have you ever thought about what happens after the performance? In 2000 a film was released called "The Urban Elephant", the story of two such elephants who met in the circus, were separated, then reunited twenty-two years later. Both had suffered, both were crippled. 

Yes, Shirley had good care and love from Solomon (Gd Bless him), but that was not enough~she needed the company of her own kind...

Do take the time to watch to the end~I guarantee it will be well worth it...and make sure to have a box of tissues handy!

Shirley the Elephant~Part 1

Shirley the Elephant~Part 2

Who is He? Seriously, Does Anyone Really Know??

How can one be elected to the highest office of a country considered to be the best in the world~and yet, nobody knows anything about him? Listen and think about it...

The Proms~Censored by (Biased) BBC?

Zubin Mehta and Israel Philharmonic~Dignity

I heard BBC news (on the radio) announce that they had to  "stop the broadcast" of the Proms~more precisely, it was the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.

BBC's website reported:
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) had earlier called on people to boycott the concert and urged the BBC to cancel it.

How nice of you, al-beeby, to cooperate with them! A group of hate-mongers interrupt a concert (acting like a bunch of brainless ruffians) and BBC caters to them by cutting off the  broadcast...exactly what they wanted!

In searching for more information, I was fortunate to find Richard Millet's blog. Do go to his site to read the story--He was there, and gives a full report! The film clips below are from his site. You can see from them the exact level of disturbance.

This is not just free speech. It is "hatred" and it is directed at Israel. I for one, am fed up with liberal media labeling hate-mongers as "Peaceful, Pro-Palestinian Activists".

 They are Israel / Jew haters, plain and simple and they spread hate and libel without conscience. They don't care that the some of the very "Palestinians" they are so "pro" for, have had to flee to Israel to seek safety from their own people! What is so sickening is that they somehow feel "justified" and "important" to be using the very same tactics as in WWII,  first by demonizing an entire people, and in the end calling for what amounts to no less than their genocide.

Example of Peaceful Pro-Palestinians

I could write volumes refuting the filth and lies, but those who hate have no interest in truth. And before you call me biased, I freely admit that Israel has problems, and yes, there are some soldiers who disgrace the name of the IDF~what country does not have a few bad apples? The difference between Israel and the Arab world is that we hold our people accountable. Only in Israel can our enemies come to our own courts to seek and receive justice.

But I am wasting my breath, because whenever morons are faced with truth they scream and yell and push and flap their vile signs until truth is drowned out . 

Isn't it about time that people woke up to the lies that are being thrown around? Israel, the Only free democratic country in the middle-east is being demonized by the very countries who have the most abominable, violent record of inhumane treatment towards their own people (as well as others)...and still, the world remains silent! WHY?

On the bright side, the good people who paid money to see the Proms, did not appreciate the disturbance, and as you will see in the last clip, they were very appreciative of Zubin Mehta and the wonderful Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.

"Silent Exodus" from Pierre Rehov

The nom de guerre, Pierre Rehov belongs to one of the great filmmakers of our time. Do visit his site, and support his very vital work.

In 1948 nearly one million Jews lived in Arab lands.  But In barely twenty years, they had become forgotten fugitives, expelled from their native lands, forgotten by history their fate as victims hidden under a cloak of silence. 

A people whom legend has always described as "wandering", these Jews from Arab lands had lived there for thousands of years, and accepted their fate, through good times and bad.

The beginning of their exodus in 1948, also saw the birth of the State of Israel. The Jews, however, did not receive refugee status. They had just rediscovered the land of their birthright. And whether they came from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq or from Yemen, or that they had lost everything, even their relatives and their cemeteries, they were ready to rebuild their lives in the West. For the majority that was n Israel, where they tried to forget their past, without ever asking for compensation or the right of return, or even wishing that their story be told...

Ontario Government (Approves) Jew Hate Fest...

Israel Hater Sid Ryan at Rally

Updated...I am used to hearing hate-speech, but for Canada this is a New Low. Please watch the clips below.

I will not post the film from the "hate-fest" because frankly, it is just too ugly. You can see it and more at Blazing Cat Fur. Note that  the police asked Blazing Cat Fur  to stop filming the hate fest~they were not concerned about Hezbollah Flags flying and shouts of Alla hu Akbar!

I was not surprised to see Sid Ryan, president of the Ontario Federation of Labour, or representatives from the United Church  (including  Minister Brian McIntosh) mugging for the cameras in their eagerness to bad mouth Israel. Although I notice that in the Michael Coren clip below, Steve MacDonald keeps insisting that United Church is not involved...he needs to read their resolutions and look at the footage of the rally again. The United Church is as anti-Israel as Hezbollah.

Many great Canadian bloggers have posted full details and pictures of this disgusting event. If you want more information you can find great pictures at Sassy Wire, and list of some of the participants and their affiliations from Kaffir Kanuck,

Canada~Your politicians and police are selling you out to Islam! Seriously...

A Video From Gaza's Border~Bring Gilad Shalit Home!

On the 28th of August 2011, David and Daniel traveled to Kerem Shalom on the Gaza Border to film an event held to mark Gilad Shalit's 25th birthday.

It has been 1,890 days (more than five years) since he has received even the tiniest communication or sign from his family~and it has been more than two years since his family has received any sign of life from Gilad.

Just ten days ago, the supporters of Gilad Shalit staged a peaceful Hi-jacking of a bus of Gazans returning from a visit to Hamas terrorists prisoners in an Israel jail.

Trucks of Goods Crossing into Gaza

Standing at the border crossing one sees the trucks arriving from within Israel to provide the citizens of Gaza with food and basic commodities, children's games and electrical goods and more. On this day there were truck loads of cement as well.

Gilad Shalit does not enjoy even the basic conditions demanded for any captive, in accordance with the Geneva Convention. He receives no visits, letters and no contact whatsoever with the outside world.

Hamas Prisoners in Israeli Jail

Gilad Shalit is held captive in inhuman conditions, while his family lives without any knowledge of his physical or emotional state. In stark contrast the State of Israel allows Palestinian/Hamas prisoners to receive visitors, letters, study for degrees and many other benefits. The picture to the left was posted from an Israeli jail by Hamas terror prisoners~to  their Facebook Page!. Need I say more?

 The purpose of this protest is to ask for reciprocation between the cruel treatment of Gilad Shalit and the privileges that are enjoyed by Palestinian / Hamas terrorists prisoners in Israeli jails.

*It Should Be Noted:
Gilad Shalit was kidnapped by terrorists who infiltrated into Israel, killed two soldiers and wounded four others. Gilad was Not a criminal, whereas the prisoners held in Israeli jails have been convicted of terror attacks and murder of Israeli citizens.

Statement to the Citizens of Gaza:  (Hebrew and English follow video)
As citizens of Israel we strive to live in peace with you. Even at this time when the region is far from quiet, we are hopeful that, one day, peace will arrive and we will be able to live side by side with you, as good neighbors, in mutual respect that will lead to mutual prosperity in our region.

We call on you, the residents of Gaza, to do the right, and human thing, and to work to correct this terrible injustice and to help return Gilad Shalit to his parents.

Bring Galid Shalit Home !

Mavi Marmara Did Violate International Law

Humanitarian Aid on Mavi Marmara

A lawsuit against Israel Re: the Mavi Marmara incident was dropped by Kuwait because "the ship had violated the international law by entering the Israeli territorial waters without permission."

It is only a tiny item in the Arab Times (you need to go to the very bottom of the article), but it is there, in black and white.

Now if only the rest of the world would open their eyes and try to see beyond the hate...

Also:
KUWAIT CITY: The Ministry of Justice intends to shelve the case which has been filed by MP Dr Waleed Al-Tabtabaei and others against the Israeli government for humiliating and assaulting them while they were aboard the Turkish flotilla which was carrying humanitarian assistance to the people of the Gaza Strip in Palestine, reports Al-Dar daily.

It has been reported the ministry was preparing to file a lawsuit in international courts but was advised by lawyers not to go ahead with the suit because Israel could win the case and Kuwait would end up paying billions of dollars in compensation because the ship had violated the international law by entering the Israeli territorial waters without permission.

Will Western Society Rise Up?

This German journalist claims there is no place in the free world for the ideology of Islam. Please listen to his argument. He is not talking "hate", rather, he points to the truth the world is determined to avoid, or ignore.

Islamic countries already make it clear that they will not mix with other cultures. They tell us in their media, their koran states it, and their actions confirm it. Non-Muslims do not live freely in any Islamic country~they are dhimmi (read "less than"). in fact, non-Muslims are not even allowed to step foot into many places, (ie) Mecca. 

It is a clear there is a clash of cultures. I seriously doubt that our culture, which values progress and freedom for all would step back into the dark ages.  Think About It...

Honenu~Israel's Educational and Legal Rights Association

Today in Israel we are faced with constant attacks from our neighbors, and sadly, also from within. Under the guise of “human rights” there are those among us who work with our enemies to persecute soldiers and civilians using our own court system. Honenu is the only Israeli legal defense organization providing assistance to soldiers and civilians alike. Their legal team of experts ensure that human and civil rights are not infringed and due process is upheld.

From the Honenu Website:

Honenu was established in 2001 by Shmuel Meidad to teach the Torah principles of love, kindness and charity. Honenu actualizes these principles by offering legal support and moral encouragement to our loyal citizens, who at times due to the security situation are being persecuted by government authorities and a court system heavily influenced and pressured by anti-Israel “human rights” groups. These groups are heavily funded by the European Union and others.

The name Honenu was taken from a prayer and a plea that King David wrote to the Creator to bless us and redeem us~Tehillim 123...חננו ה’ חננו כי רב שבענו בוז

A Letter From Allen West In Israel

This past week  Israel received many visitors. One of them was newly elected congressman Allen West. When he was in Jerusalem’s David Citadel Hotel he could not remain anonymous like many other visitors. In an article by Israpundit, he quotes:

...West walks through the lobby almost like a rock star~not the world’s most famous rock star, but one that enough people have seen, and heard, to attract attention.

On returning to America, he wrote his constituents a letter highlighting his trip. You can read the entire letter HERE.
  

I like Allen West because he is the only politician who is not afraid to speak the truth and "call a spade a spade" or as my Dad used to say, "sometimes you just have to call it a dirty rotten shovel".

I have excerpted some parts of his letter for you (all emphasis mine) with Allen West's words in Italics, but I urge you to follow the LINK and read it all. 

How He Felt About Israel...

When you consider the shared values, culture, faith, and commitment to democratic principles, it is easy to understand why many believe America is not complete without Israel.

So, what did I feel while in Israel? I felt a sense of being home, especially on those mornings when I ran from our hotel to the Knesset and around the Old City walls of Jerusalem.

On His Visit to the Border with Lebanon...

Hezbollah Katusha's on Border

We visited the borders with Lebanon and learned of the 50,000 rockets and missiles now in the arsenal of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, all in violation of United Nations Mandate 1701. 

But hardly any of that made our American news. Instead, 24/7 coverage of a 5.8 magnitude earthquake and a Tropical Storm/Category 1 Hurricane Irene.

Now, do not get me wrong, these were important events. But what I witnessed was almost “over-coverage”, while sirens were going off daily in southern Israel.

Whenever Jewish lives are lost it is either a non-issue or the victims are held to blame

Entering a "Settlement"

On Judea and Samaria...

Our delegation visited the so-called “settlements”, 
and all we found were neighborhoods and suburbs.   
 On Bethlehem...
...our group was not allowed to have our regular Jewish guides or bus drivers because Israeli citizens are not allowed in Bethlehem or the ancient city of Jericho where the Bible teaches us that Joshua blew down the wall with trumpets.   

My point is that the hypocrisy is revealing.    

Allen West~Walls of Jerusalem

On Israel's History in the Holy Land...

When we walked last week through a 2,000-year-old tunnel under the ancient City of David to the Western Wall, there can be no historical or archaeological argument to refute that there has always been a nation of Israel.

On the Arab Spring...

Arab Spring in Egypt

This so-called “Arab Spring” is less about a democratic movement, than it is about the early phase of the restoration of an Islamic Caliphate, the last being the Ottoman Empire.

We are witnessing secular Muslim leaders being deposed in very volatile and unstable nations. This growing Islamic Totalitarianism manifested in militant Islam has had a modus operand of capitalizing on unstable political situations (Iran, Afghanistan, Somalia).

Muslim States=Green and  Israel=Red (Can You Find Israel?)

  
Now we see these same types of instances occurring in Egypt, Libya, and Syria, and the rose-colored glasses of some seek to portray this as a great awakening of liberty.

...History does not support this in the Middle East.

In the midst of it all is Israel, that tiny defiant bastion of freedom, liberty, and democracy in an evolving storm. One only needs to survey a map of the Middle East, and the immediate peripheral states to see the very threatening situation.  

This is why any intonation of reverting to pre-1967 lines for Israel is not just ludicrous, but insane, and clearly evidences a lack of strategic security intelligence.  

Slowly Israel is being surrounded on all sides: Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, an unstable Egypt and Syria, and a theocratic regime in Iran led by a 21st century "Madman." 

As well, Israel must contend with an internal infiltration. How many Americans would tolerate having some 50-100 rockets and missiles launched across its border? Then why should we expect Israel to tolerate the same?  

The objective could not be any clearer to a seasoned military strategist: isolate and eliminate the modern day Jewish state of Israel. And what is most appalling, western civilization is watching it happen, again. 

 His Impression of the Palestinian Authority...

Official Photo~All Israel As the PA State

During our trip, we met with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salaam Fayyad. He spoke of freedom and dignity--but what of recognition and respect of Israel? 

Let me be clear, I do not see a credible peace partner in the Palestinian Authority. While we were in Israel, the PA never denounced the most recent heinous terrorist attack. 

There is no unity between Fatah and Hamas and therefore, no two-state solution exists. At best it would have to be a three-state solution; Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. The proposed United Nations unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state is nothing more than a sham, coming from an international organization which has little to no credibility, as evidenced with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) mission. 

 Allen West's Final Words...

Muslim Brotherhood

In closing, let us realize that the Muslim Brotherhood is not a college fraternity but an organization with a well-developed strategic plan
 
Let us no longer operate in the realm of irrational emotionalism, but rather study and come to learn true geopolitics based upon history and fact.

There is an inextricable bond between America and Israel, and we must stop denying it or feeling ashamed about it.

And I am so grateful to now have firsthand experience running up both Knesset Hill as well as Capitol Hill, both very present beacons of liberty, freedom, and democracy amidst a sea of despots, dictators, autocrats, and theocrats.

God bless Israel, and God bless America!
Steadfast and Loyal...Allen
*****

One cannot help but admire this man who insists on standing up for what is right. Does he make mistakes? I am sure he does~as we all do~but I am willing to bet that he is the type to acknowledge the errors and try to correct them. Gd Bless You, Allen West!
