University Closes Doors on Israel Apartheid Week-A French university is closing doors for two days in attempt to prevent Israel Apartheid Week events from taking place on campus grounds.By Rachel Hirshfeld First Publish: 2/27/2012, 11:50 AM

A French university, Paris Sorbonne No.8, will be closing its doors for two days in an attempt to prevent Israel Apartheid Week events from taking place on campus grounds.The president of the university, Pascal Binczak, decided to close its doors for two days, as a result of a conference entitled Israel: an Apartheid State? that purportedly aims to discuss new social, historical and legal methods of internationally boycotting Israel.Binczak’s decision to close the university on Monday and Tuesday received the backing of the French courts. Anti-Israel activists have said, however, that they will nonetheless hold the event by force. In response to charges by the activists that not allowing the event will impair academic freedom,the university has said that there is no academic freedom at an event where the other side cannot respond, Israel Radio reported.While the anti-Israeli group did originally receive permission to hold the event, the university withdrew the decision due to the event’s highly polemic nature and likelihood to cause disturbances to public order.

The university suggested, however, that while the event cannot be held on campus grounds, the group can host the event in another location.The group filed a petition to the administrative court in an attempt to override president Binczak's decision, but the court rejected the request.The group stated:Is it no longer possible to exercise freedom of speech in French universities in relation to the field of the politics of Israel and Palestine? The cancellation of the upcoming conference is a clear demonstration of how the management of a public academic institution will yield to the injunctions and threats from a corpus that presents itself as the voice of the entire Jewish community in France but is in reality a mouthpiece for the Israeli embassy.Binczak published an article in the French newspaper Le Monde defending his decision. He cited a recent surge in anti-Semitic incidents on campus including graffiti and other defacements linking the Jewish Star of David to a Nazi swastika. He said such instances and the hostile and biased tone of the event were cause for concern and reason to close university grounds. He said that the group was taking advantage of academic freedom.

Van Rompuy: National parliaments are EU institutions
Today FEB 28,12 @ 09:29 By Valentina Pop

BRUSSELS - Tasked with approving bail-outs, national budgets and labour market policies which can affect the stability of the eurozone, national parliaments are similar to European institutions, Herman Van Rompuy, EU council president, said Monday (27 February).In the old days, exaggerating just slightly, the European Community used to exist on one planet, and national politics on six, nine, twelve, fifteen other planets. This is over now. The debt crisis, difficult and painful as it is, brings home the fact that the Union is us, Van Rompuy told a gathering of national and EU deputies discussing economic policy across the bloc.He noted that decisions by one national parliament - be it in Germany, Ireland, Slovakia or Portugal - are now being watched all over Europe when it comes to approving tax-payer funded bail-outs or adopting deficit reduction measures.Maybe not formally speaking, but at least politically speaking, all national parliaments have become, in a way, European institutions, Van Rompuy said.

Sovereignty

This development also comes at the expense of some sovereignty. National parliaments keep their budgetary sovereignty, at least as long as national policies do not threaten the financial stability of the whole. To prevent that, countries in excessive deficit will conclude a 'contract' with the European Commission to bring down the deficit below the 3 percent ceiling (of gross domestic product).But deficits are not the only area where parliaments have to take into account the EU and other member states: economic reforms such as in the labour market have a major impact on the rest of the union.The commission and other euro area member states have to be consulted before adoption of any major fiscal or economic policy reform with potential spill-over effects, so as to allow for an assessment of possible impact on the euro area as a whole, Van Rompuy explained, adding that it is the responsibility of national parliaments to adapt to this new situation.He encouraged national MPs to speak to their counterparts from other member states, as well as to euro-deputies.As an outsider, I sometimes have the impression that the European Parliament and the national parliaments live in different worlds: the one always pushing for more integration, the others focussing on domestic issues and pulling the brakes,he noted.The crisis has brought about a new level of interdependence and co-operation, Van Rompuy stressed, summing it up under the slogan Europe is domestic policy.But some national MPs disagreed.Bill Cash, a Conservative from the British House of Commons, flatly rejected Van Rompuy's assertion that national parliaments have become EU institutions: This is not the case. Taxation and spending belong to national electees, based on national political platforms,he said.

A Greek parliamentarian, Valeras Athanasiou, was less concerned about the institutional debate as he was about the consequences of applying debt and deficit reduction measures at a time of deep recession in southern countries.This destroys the lives of our people. We cannot go on with Germans pressured to pay more and Greek people afraid of having to do more and more to get the financial assistance, he said.But EU commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso, also present at the debate, said that what was needed now in Greece was for leaders to speak the truth and confront people with the alternatives.Fiscal stimulus is not the solution, with markets watching every move, but smart fiscal consolidation, he said, meaning more austerity.

EU diplomats: Serbia to get candidate status
Today FEB 28,12 @ 09:29 By Andrew Rettman

BRUSSELS - EU diplomatic sources say objections raised by Lithuania, Poland and Romania are not serious enough to stop ministers recommending that Serbia gets official candidate status.French foreign minister Alain Juppe jumped the gun on Monday (27 February) by telling press in Brussels one hour before internal talks on Serbia that the Balkan country is heading for the upgrade.There was an agreement today ... At least, there were no further objections, he said.Lithuania, Poland and Romania later at the meeting raised concerns that Moscow has too much influence on Belgrade and that Serbia is mistreating its so-called Vlach Romanian minority.One EU diplomat told this website on Tuesday morning the complaints are not party stoppers, however.He said the negative remarks are due to the fact all EU countries wanted to air views at a historic moment for the Union and to increase pressure for reform. It's good that countries raise these things so that we don't get carried away in a sort of whoopee,the source noted.I am sure we'll have a good conclusion,a diplomat from one of the three objecting EU countries said. We are not blocking Serbia, but on the condition of enhanced monitoring by the [European] commission,a contact from another objecting country added.Serbian President Boris Tadic and EU foreign relations chief Catherine Ashton also voiced optimism late on Monday at a press briefing in the EU capital. I really hope that tomorrow we will see the General Affairs Council [Gac] move forward, Ashton said.In terms of process, if EU foreign ministers at the Gac on Tuesday endorse the move, EU leaders are likely to rubber stamp it at a summit later this week.Serbia will then qualify for EU pre-accession money and might get the green light from EU leaders in December to open accession talks.

Serbia has problems with corruption and judicial reform. But the elephant in the room is the future status of Kosovar Serbs in north Kosovo, who reject central control by Kosovar Albanian authorities - a problem described as a frozen conflict by some EU diplomats.The EU candidate decision is to come after Belgrade last year handed over its top war crimes fugitives and last week agreed to let Kosovo speak under its independent flag in multilateral meetings and to sign international agreements as if it was a normal country.Its participation in meetings is to come with a footnote that this is without prejudice to the fact it does not have UN recognition, but also that the International Court of Justice says its declaration of independence was legal.Ashton noted that the European Commission will shortly produce a feasibility study on how the EU can sign legal pacts with Kosovo despite the fact that five EU countries do not recognise it.An EU official earlier told this website: We are the best in the world when it comes to squaring the circle. Perhaps there could be a legal agreement accompanied by a declaration that it [for instance, a trade pact] only applies to this and this, but not that [status].For their part, Kosovar Albanian nationalists from the Vetevendosje (meaning Self-Determination) political party have held protests in Pristina to say the footnote on international meetings fortifies non-recognition.The EU is feeding the little octopus [Serbia] so that it can separate it from the big octopus [Russia], but the problem is that the little octopus has its tentacles deep inside Kosovo,Albin Kurti, a Vetevendosje leader, told this website in the Kosovar capital late last year.

Eurozone expected Greek downgrade
Today FEB 28,12 @ 09:29 By Valentina Pop

BRUSSELS - Standard & Poor's on Monday (27 February) downgraded Greece to selective default due to a bond swap operation aimed at slashing some €100 billion off national debt.Under the operation, which will take place between 8 and 11 March, banks and private investors will voluntarily trade their old Greek bonds for new ones, taking a net loss of up to 70 percent, depending on the maturity of the bond. So-called sweeteners to the tune of €30 billion will accompany the deal to make the swap less painful.If the exchange is consummated (which we understand is scheduled to occur on or about March 12, 2012), we will likely consider the selective default to be cured and raise the sovereign credit rating on Greece to the CCC category, reflecting our forward-looking assessment of Greece's creditworthiness, the US-based ratings agency said in a statement.A triple-C rating is still considered junk territory, reflecting Greece's uncertain economic growth prospects and still large government debt, even after the debt restructuring is concluded.The agency also warned that if there are not sufficient bondholders taking up the swap offer,we believe that Greece would face an imminent outright payment default. This is because of its lack of access to market funding and the likely unavailability of additional official financing.It added that if Greece were to exit the eurozone and re-introduce the drachma currecny, its national bank would no longer be part of the European system of central banks and its long-term perspective would be even worse.

Eurozone chief Jean-Claude Juncker said in an emailed statement to press the latest downgrade was duly anticipated and taken into account when planning the bond swap in the first place.I look forward to a high participation of private creditors in the private sector involvement [PSI] operation and take note of S&P’s intention to upgrade the lower ratings following the settlement of the bond exchange,he added.The Greek ministry of finance also said the downgrade was expected during the PSI operation. The downgrade has no impact in the Greek banking sector as its liquidity effect has been addressed by the Bank of Greece,it said in an emailed statement.
Last week, the Greek parliament passed the so-called collective action clauses law, which establishes the legal basis for the bond swap to take place. At least two thirds of the new bonds on offer will have to be taken up by private investors for the operation to be deemed successful.Not all banks welcome the deal.Germany's Commerzbank last week questioned the voluntary nature of the operation. The participation in the haircut is as voluntary as a confession during the Spanish Inquisition,Commerzbank CEO Martin Blessing said.

Watchdog warns of blatant racism against Roma
27.02.12 @ 18:45 By Nikolaj Nielsen

BRUSSELS - Europe's Roma population is subject to growing discrimination and more and more attacks by extremist groups, according to the Strasbourg-based human rights watchdog, the Council of Europe (CoE).The council in a 250-page report published on Monday (27 February) said they suffer from blatant racism and have a life expectancy 10 years less than the average in several EU member states including Hungary, Spain and the United Kingdom.They remain far behind others in education, employment, access to decent housing and health, the CoE's human rights commissioner Thomas Hammarberg told reporters in Brussels.He noted that a cycle of disadvantage, exclusion, segregation and marginalisation feeds into a growing anti-gypsyism that uses Roma as a scapegoat to explain away society's ills while simultaneously depriving them of any chance to improve their lives.The council report cited as examples of the trend recent marches into Roma camps by Hungarian exremist groups wearing paramilitary uniforms. Extremists in the country between 2008 and 2009 murdered six Roma, including a five-year-old child.It added that in Sofia, Roma families were 10 years ago forced out of homes they legally owned to make way for a commercial centre. The families were placed in shipping containers, described as temporary housing units by the government until more adequate lodging could be found. But after nearly a decade, the families are still in the containers where they share a single outdoor faucet. None have toilets.

The stories are not unique.In Italy in 2008 the image of Italian holidaymakers sunbathing on the beach next to the corpses of two Roma girls drew widespread condemnation.Meanwhile, Ivan Ivanov, the executive director of the Brussels-based European Roma Information Office, said it is a popular misconception that Roma-related problems are concentrated solely in eastern and central Europe.Roma civil society in eastern and central European countries are generally better developed and more vocal than their western counterparts, he told EUobserver, noting that severe problems exist in the Netherlands, Ireland, Spain, Italy and France.The French authorities are for instance still deporting Roma migrants from other EU countries despite the uproar in 2010 when it was discovered they were officially targeting the ethnic group and had labeled them as a threat against public security.
Integrating Roma starts by Europe coming to terms with the crimes committed against the population, the CoE noted.The apology and recognition of crimes against the Roma is the first step,said Hammarberg.The Roma population was decimated by Nazi Germans but this was never acknowledged at the 1946 Nuremburg trials which sentenced Hitler's inner circle to death for crimes against humanity.The European Commission has requested all EU member states to submit strategy reports and actions plans on how to best integrate the around 10 million Roma into their respective societies.The plans should present a set of policy measures to improve their education, employment, healthcare and housing.Nineteen final texts have been submitted to the commission while the remainder are either draft versions or have yet to be submitted. Member states are scheduled to discuss the national strategies at the end of March.To be honest, some of the strategies are far from the European Commission’s criteria,said Ivanov, noting that the final draft version of the submitted Dutch action plan is only six-pages long.

PA May Break Oslo Accords Again and stop Working with IDF-The Palestinian Authority may nullify another part of the Oslo Accords and halt security cooperation with Israel, a PLO leader says.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 2/28/2012, 3:45 PM

The Palestinian Authority (PA) may nullify another part of the moribund Oslo Accords and halt security cooperation with Israel, Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) secretary Yasser Abed Rabbo told the London-based Al Quds Al Arabi newspaper.
Everything is subject for reevaluation, but there is no final decision made yet, he was quoted as saying by the International Middle East Media Center.Abed Rabbo said a halt to cooperation with the IDF would be in retaliation for continued Jewish development in parts of Judea and Samaria. Under the Oslo Accords, the PA is committed to work with Israel to fight terror as part of its program for self-government.Although the IDF has been required to carry out arrests of many terrorists, most of them from Hamas and in areas controlled by the PA, the security cooperation has been credited in the past with reducing terror.However, a steady escalation of deadly firebomb and rock attacks on Israeli motorists in the last several months has left many parts of Judea and Samaria without any security at all. More deterioration in security cooperation could further endanger Jews in Judea and Samaria, with the PA turning a blind eye and the IDF reluctant to act alone and be accused of fueling Arab anger.

Abbas has violated the Oslo Accords several times, including manning a police force beyond the numbers allowed in the agreement and turning them into a military force, also a contradiction of terms.The United States arbitrarily changed the conditions of the agreement, using heavy pressure on Israel, to skip over a phase for an interim Palestinian Authority. Instead, then U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice decided to move ahead for final status for the PA.After PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas failed to win his political and territorial demands, he violated the Oslo Accords by carrying out a unilateral move to win recognition in the United Nations instead of doing so by talks with Israel. Abbas told the Egyptian television last Friday he plans to make a dramatic announcement within 10 days as a reaction to the diplomatic impasse. He may be timing the announcement to coincide with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s visit in Washington next week.Abed Rabbo said that Israel’s refusal to slap a second building freeze on Jews in Judea and Samaria has created the current deep freeze in relations, which would be further damaged by a lack of security cooperation.Israel temporarily halted new building a year and a half ago to satisfy Abbas’ condition for resuming talks for establishing the Palestinian Authority as a state, but he then balked, arguing that the freeze was not comprehensive enough. A de facto freeze still is in effect in most parts of Judea and Samaria.

Palestinian Authority Arabs rioted in the capital and hurled firebombs at Israelis Monday in what appears to be the start of a third wave of the Oslo War, or what the Arabs refer to as an intifada.In Jerusalem, Arab rioters threw large, sharp-edged rocks and firebombs – Molotov cocktails – at Border Police officers in the A-Tur neighborhood. Most of the rioters were Arabs who are eligible to vote in Palestinian Authority elections, although some also carry the blue Israeli identity cards that entitles them to all the privileges of any other Israeli citizen.Five of the rioters were arrested, and police were eventually forced to resort to using anti-riot measures in order to control the violent mob.Palestinian Authority Arabs also hurled four firebombs towards the Qalandia crossing, south of Ramallah, on Monday evening. There were no casualties or damage.Earlier in the day, a vehicle with Israeli license plates was damaged by rocks hurled by Arabs as the driver traveled past the Gilo area, south of Jerusalem. No one was physically injured, although the experience was traumatic. IDF soldiers were dispatched to the scene of the attack.

Last Tuesday, a mob of PA Arabs repeatedly ambushed drivers traveling along Highway 60 as they passed the center of Beit Ummar, a village in Judea located between Gush Etzion and Kiryat Arba-Hevron. One particularly vicious attack that day was photographed by an Associated Press photographer and the victim, Zehava Weiss, shared the details of her experience with Arutz Sheva.Video footage of the repeated ambushes was filmed, and a gaggle of photographers was also seen eagerly racing to get good shots of the lethal attacks, which appeared to further encourage the attackers. No IDF soldiers or any other security forces were visible, although it is unclear why, since an Israeli pillbox military guard post is located right next to the site of the attack.

U.S. Official: Israel Won't Warn Us Before an Attack on Iran-U.S. intelligence official says Israel has made it clear it won’t warn the U.S. ahead of a strike against Iranian nuclear facilities.By Elad Benari First Publish: 2/28/2012, 6:16 AM

Israeli officials have made it clear they won’t warn the U.S. if they decide to launch a pre-emptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, a U.S. intelligence official told The Associated Press on Monday.The official said the pronouncement was delivered in a series of private, top-level conversations.According to the AP report, Israeli officials said that if they eventually decide a strike is necessary, they would keep the Americans in the dark to decrease the likelihood that the U.S. would be held responsible for failing to stop Israel's potential attack.The report said that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak delivered the message to a series of top-level U.S. visitors to the country, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin Dempsey, the White House national security adviser and the director of national intelligence, and top U.S. lawmakers.The U.S. official, who spoke to the news agency on condition of anonymity, said that Netanyahu delivered the same message to all the Americans who have traveled to Israel for talks.According to AP, the apparent decision to keep the U.S. in the dark also stems from Israel's frustration with the White House. After a recent visit by National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, the report said, Israel became convinced the Americans would neither take military action, nor go along with unilateral action by Israel against Iran. The Israelis concluded they would have to conduct a strike unilaterally, a point they are likely to hammer home in a series of meetings over the next two weeks in Washington, the official told the news agency.

Barak will meet with top administration and congressional officials during his visit, while Netanyahu arrives in Washington on March 5 for meetings with President Barack Obama.Netanyahu recently said publicly that sanctions against the Islamic Republic are not working, a sentiment supported by U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency chief Lt. Gen. Ronald Burgess in a testimony given to U.S. lawmakers.Netanyahu is widely believed to back Barak, who believes a pre-emptive military strike on Iran's nuclear program must be made before Tehran enters the immunity zone.Barak's so-called immunity zone is a theoretical point of no return after which Iran's nuclear program would be so diffuse and well protected that an Israeli strike could not sufficiently delay Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Mike Rogers, who recently visited Israel and met with officials on the Iranian issue, was quoted as having told CNN on Monday, I got the sense that Israel is incredibly serious about a strike on their nuclear weapons program.Rogers added,It’s their calculus that the administration ... is not serious about a real military consequence to Iran moving forward. They believe they're going to have to make a decision on their own, given the current posture of the United States.The White House did not respond to AP’s requests for comment on the anonymous official’s remarks, and the Pentagon and Office of Director of National Intelligence declined to comment, as did the Israeli Embassy in Washington.The remarks seem to back recent reports, according to which Israeli officials told Dempsey that Israel would give President Barack Obama no more than 12 hours notice if and when it attacks Iran.The report said that the Netanyahu government also will not coordinate with the United States an attack on the Islamic Republic.Despite the latest reports, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Daniel Shapiro insisted last week that the United States and Israel are coordinated on steps being taken to confront Iran's nuclear program.

MK Katz: After Beinisch, Arutz Sheva Radio will Return-National Union head: Beinisch took the law into her hands and waged war against Israel's sacred values. By Gil Ronen First Publish: 2/28/2012, 1:11 PM

National Union Chairman Yaakov Katz (Ketzaleh) had no warm words for outgoing Supreme Court President Dort Beinisch Tuesday. He predicted that Beinisch's retirement would eventually enable the reversal of the High Court ruling that closed down Arutz Sheva's popular radio station in 2003.In Jewish tradition it is written – a person must say a blessing over bad things just as he says it over the good things,MK Katz said Tuesday at B'sheva Magazine's Ninth Jerusalem Conference.For years, Beinisch has waged wars against sacred values: Judea and Samaria, Arutz Sheva, the Shin Bet, [the IDF in relation to] Sabra and Shatila and many other subjects. She took the unimportant point and made it the central one.All of the IDF's successes are despite Beinisch. All of the diverse settlement in Judea and Samaria – is despite Beinisch. A judge who was not elected to rule the country, appropriated the power to rule the country, cancelled important laws, marked a target and then fired the arrows. She took the law into her own hands. Who gave her permission? She was not elected.The Supreme Court is not permitted to strike down laws that the elected representatives of the people decided upon. Not only this,he predicted, all of the laws that the Supreme Court canceled will come back to life, including [the law that allowed the operation of] Arutz Sheva, for which we will receive compensation for all of the suffering we have experienced over the years.

Ketzaleh referred to the so-called Grunis Law, which he had authored, which made it possible for Judge Asher Grunis to replace Beinisch. After the ratification of the Grunis Law, a fundamental change has taken place, as Haaretz wrote,he said. The Supreme Court no longer decides who will be [its] president and who will be a judge – rather, the Knesset, the representatives of the people, decide this. This is the greatest victory.

Op-Ed: The Obama Domino Doctrine: Pro-Iran/Anti-Saudi
Published: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 5:35 AM
Obama has his own Domino Doctrine for the Muslim world. As a consequence of this doctrine, Obama’s Iranian Nuclear policy can be summed up as full of sound and fury, signifying nothing and Saudi Arabia is in even more danger than Israel.Mark Langfan

Remember, for one second, in January 2011, before even a dozen demonstrators were killed, a small herd of camel-riding Mubarakists rode into Tahrir Square trampling some protesters underfoot, and Obama immediately flew into an apoplectic rage, gliding close to personally claiming that Mubarak was a war criminal for attacking peaceful democratic demonstrators. But in February 2012, after Assad has murdered over 10,000 Sunni mostly totally unarmed civilians by lobbing barrages of multiple rounds of artillery into Homs, why is Obama all but numbingly silent in-between his own barrages of multiple rounds of 18-hole golf? The reason: the US President Obama has artfully and silently pivoted US Middle East Policy from a Pro-Saudi, Anti-Iran paradigm to a Pro-Iran, Anti-Saudi imperative. Crazy you say? The Dubai Police Chief Dahi Khalfan Tamim, attending at a recent Gulf security conference with US diplomats, undiplomatically for over 18 minutes calmly stated, in essence:
1)US Policy is the Number One threat to the Gulf States;
2)America has realized the dreams of Iran in Iraq;
3)the US has adopted the path and ideology of Khomeini; and
4)the US is no longer an ally of the Gulf States.
http://www.thememriblog.org/blog_personal/en/41653.htm

To frame the instant question with a sharper point:Why did President Obama, in his 2009 Cairo Speech, pro-actively incite and reflexively, over Saudi Arabia’s infinite anger, support the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak, who was the US’ stalwart Sunni American ally for over 30 years and who acted as the sole-substantial Sunni Arab counterweight to Iran? How come the Nobel Prize-winning Obama unflinchingly allows Assad, a Shiite/Alawite, confirmed state-sponsor of terror, funneler of IEDs in Iraq which murdered thousands of US soldiers, and a stalwart ally of Shiite Iran, to cold-bloodedly massacre what is now over ten thousand unarmed Sunni Muslims? And why did President Obama anoint the Shiite Al Maliki, a known-Iranian stooge, as the omnipotent new-Shiite Saddam of Iraq, sideline the Iraqi Sunnis, and compound the decidedly pro-Shiite tilt by tacitly handing the keys of Iraq over to Iran leaving the Sunni Gulf states to fend for themselves against the a combined Iraq/Iran Shi'ite colossus from the North and East? Why does Obama constantly refer to the ragtag, disjointed, barely-existing Sunni al Qaeda as the greatest threat to the US" when the Shiite Iran and its Hizbullah and Iraqi based proxies have killed many times more US soldiers and US civilians in the past 20 years than al Qaeda has, - and Iran is nearing the acquisition of nuclear bomb and constantly claiming Israel is a cancerous tumor that needs to be cut out of the Middle East? The answer can be found in Obama’ first documented foreign policy speech in 2002 dubbed the Iraq War Speech where Obama unambiguously declared:You want a fight, President Bush? Let’s fight to make sure our so-called allies in the Middle East, the Saudis and the Egyptians, stop oppressing their own people, and suppressing dissent, and tolerating corruption and inequality. . . . - Barack Obama’s Iraq Speech dated Oct. 2, 2002
http://www.asksam.com/ebooks/releases.asp?file=Obama-Speeches.ask&dn=Against%20Going%20to%20War%20with%20Iraq

From Obama’s very first recorded words on US foreign policy, Saudi Arabia, and not Iran, was to Obama, America’s Number one enemy.President Obama’s inimical abhorrence of the House of Saud was further codified in US President Obama’s May 19, 2011 major Foreign Policy speech where he repeatedly explicitly attacked Bahrain, Saudi’s key ally, as well as again clearly targeting the elite Saud Family when he stated:
Prosperity also requires tearing down walls that stand in the way of progress -– the corruption of elites who steal from their people; the red tape that stops an idea from becoming a business; the patronage that distributes wealth based on tribe or sect. – NY Times, 5/19/11 Obama’s Mideast Speech
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/20/world/middleeast/20prexy-text.html?pagewanted=all

Obama, from his 2002 speech on a Chicago street to his 2011 speech at the State Department, sees the House of Saud as the very personification of Obama’s elites who steal from their people,and of the patronage that distributes wealth based on tribe or sect.But Obama’s one act which symbolically crystallizes the essence of what has been, is, and will be the Obama Doctrine is Obama’s very first act as US President. Obama’s first act was he formally and publically returned the bust of Winston Churchill to Great Britain that had long adorned the Bush Oval Office. Obama viscerally rejected Churchill’s White House presence because it was Winston Churchill and his Lawrence of Arabia generation of British foreign establishment that, in effect, had divided and conquered the Muslim Ummah, and empowered the balkanized Sunni elite kingdoms at the expense of the Shi’ites and the Ottoman Empire. While empowering the local Sunni Kingdoms, Churchill disempowered a possible unified Muslim Caliphate, and the Shi’ites.At core, to Obama, Lawrence of Arabia wasn’t a heroic liberator of Arabia, but a villainous enslaver of the Ummah. To Obama, the Churchill’s very Middle East borders themselves are colonial vestiges which divide and enshackle the Muslim Ummah and prevent it from achieving its true greatness and superpower status on a par with the EU, the US, China, and Russia.

Consequently, Obama, from day one of his US Presidency, has been the first anti-Winston Churchill US President. The Obama Doctrine is Whatever Churchill did, Obama would, and will, undo.Churchill empowered the Sunnis, Obama will dispossess the Sunnis. Churchill created Israel, Obama will dismember Israel. Within this tightly focused foreign policy imperative, Obama sees the total empowerment of Iran as the quickest and surest route to obliterate the shackles of the Churchill’s vestigial enslaving pro-Sunni elite localized fiefdoms that practically prevent the unification of the Muslim Global Ummah.As a consequence, of the Obama Doctrine, Obama’s Iranian Nuclear policy can be summed up as full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.As a result, Obama’s overall Iranian political empowerment policy in Iraq and Afghanistan and Lebanon isn’t weakness, naivete, or vacillation,but Obama’s central overarching, immutable goal. Obama plays Turkey like the useful idiot sick man it still is. Yes, common Iranians are paying a lot more for bread. Yes, the Iranian Rial is all but worthless. But by all accounts, the sanctions have only sharpened and accelerated Iran’s timeline to build an atomic bomb, and stopped any attempt to militarily stop Iran’s nuclear program. Iran understands Obama’s need to false flag Foggy Bottom and the Pentagon into believing Obama’s Justice Department’s sanctions are doing something. Otherwise, Obama’s Pro-Iran policy would be impossible to hide.

With the Obama Doctrine, Obama’s entire foreign policy makes sense: It explains why Obama toppled Egypt, Saudi Arabia’s key Sunni ally. In a heartbeat, Obama rendered Egypt permanently paralyzed to assist the Saudis against Iran. As a result, Obama made the Saudis feel warm and fuzzy after the Mubarak betrayal by “selling” them 50 gazillion dollars of US weapons - that will be delivered a decade after Iran gets and uses its nukes, and successfully attacks Saudi Arabia’s Eastern/Persian Gulf oil fields that hold 95% of Saudi’s oil. In accordance with this doctrine, Obama obliterated the Sunni Qaddafi with hundreds of million dollar Tomahawk missiles, deleting the precious cache of Tomahawks (for possible use against Iran) where there was a truly heavily armed Libyan opposition who could fight for themselves and instead left an absolute Islamist maelstrom wrapped in chaos enveloped in bedlam and mayhem. As a result, Obama has mutely watched well over ten thousand Syrian Sunnis be massacred by Iran’s Shi’ite handmaiden, Assad, and hasn’t even shipped in one 5 kilometer range anti-tank weapon that would easily spay Assad’s rampaging tanks and artillery.Somehow Reagan wasn’t afraid to send the Afghans anti-air stingers down Soviet helicopters when the USSR had 5,000 ICBM nukes locked and loaded at Washington DC, but Obama is petrified to send embattled Sunni Syrian unarmed civilians a single Band-Aid, lest Obama might upset Iran and his ability to close his Iranian Nuclear Grand Bargain just in time for the 2012 elections.And as a final policy puzzle piece, Obama’s noisy objection to an Israeli attack on Iran is, in reality, a deafeningly silent total rejection of Saudi Arabia’s push for America to militarily attack Iran. The Saudis know Iran is infinitely more of a threat to Saudi Arabia than to Israel. Obama has publically amped up the five-alarm fire-fight with Israel to make the Iran issue appear to be an Israel only issue, thereby preemptively embarrassing the Saudis out of even asking for the US to strike. For as long as Obama and his minions are vituperatively publicly attacking Israel about an Israeli attack and even threatening to do a reverse-Liberty and shoot down attacking Israeli planes, the Saudis know they have no hope of even broaching the Attack Iran issue with Obama.

So for Obama it’s a win-win-win, actively attack Israel, blame Israel for destabilizing the Middle East, attack Israel’s American supporters as dual loyalists, and passively pre-reject the Saudis request for an attack on Iran’s facilities before the Saudis even ask for one.What all this means is Obama has quietly turned 50 years of US Foreign policy on its head without even a single congressional hearing. If Obama isn’t sending Band-Aids to Homs, he sure ain’t sending Bunker-busters to Fordo.The Egyptian Pillar of US strategic interests is now yesterday’s dust. The vaunted Saudi Pillar of US Middle East policy since World War I is now a prime US target for destruction. Israel is live bait. Obama’s true foreign policy objective seems to be nothing less than the full nuclear weaponization of Iran. Anything else is a smoke-screen for Obama to look like he’s doing something, but in reality he is doing nothing to stop Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons. In conclusion, Obama is actively democratically toppling all U.S. Middle East allies, and soon a nuclear-armed Iran will control 70% of the World's Oil Reserves, charging $500 a barrel for oil.Under the Obama Domino Doctrine, in the not so far future, the House of Saud and all the Gulf monarchies will be the very first elite colonial vestiges which will have to be annihilated by Iran for Iran to unify the Muslim Ummah to achieve its historical and rightful greatness and power. In the longer-term, once Iran has liquidated the House of Saud and acquired its limitless oil wealth, the Iranian Rial and the price of bread for the common Iranian will return to normal, and Iran can the focus on destroying Israel.And in the short-term, Obama and the world will watch Assad commit a holocaust against the unarmed Syrian Sunnis, and, of course, Obama’s golf game will see some improvement.

Iran Spooks the World with Higher Oil Prices-Surging gas prices stuff Iran’s pockets as sanctions are not slowing down Iran’s nuclear race. Iran may have the last laugh.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 2/27/2012, 3:27 PM

Surging gasoline prices are stuffing Iran’s pockets as sanctions – so far – are not slowing down Iran’s nuclear race. Tehran is immune to sanctions, The London Mail and Guardian reported Monday, and Iran may have the last laugh.Sanctions theoretically would work, but China and Russian have led a large contingent of Asian and eastern countries that have refused to cooperate with the American-backed moves aimed at crippling Iran’s oil-based economy.Iran has lived with spiraling inflation and a 20 percent devaluation of its currency since President Barack Obama stiffened sanctions earlier this year. However, plenty of countries are eager for oil, especially at discounts. Coupled with Iran’s counter-sanctions against some European countries, Iran is enjoying the best of both worlds – higher oil prices, continuing demand, causing a recession in the Western world and having a chance to mock the United States, which it constantly describes as feeble.Iran this week refused to load a Green tanker with refined crude oil. Previously, Iran has said it will ban exporting oil to Britain, France and at least five other European nations.The Obama administration is increasingly sure that sanctions will not stop Iran’s race for nuclear capability and that the military option eventually will be the only option, the London newspaper wrote.

The question is when?

The United States is more concerned with the moment before Iran can build a nuclear weapon, while Israel’s attention is on the increasing impossibility of its staging a pre-emptive strike as Iran continues to fortify its nuclear installations deep underground.Another question is how much Iran is bluffing about its nuclear program, which has been damaged by computer viruses and may be operating with equipment far less functional than is claimed.One additional factor in the timing of a military strike is the fact that the 2012 presidential election comes in a year when Americans are increasingly fed up with their country’s intervention overseas, especially when the economy is barely growing.Although analysts are discarding the probability of an Israel strike before the elections, if at all, the talk of war has spiked the price of crude oil to $110 a barrel, the highest in years. The price of Brent crude passed the $125 a barrel mark. The record high price for crude is $148, reached in 2008.It is not that the Israelis believe the Iranians are on the brink of a bomb. It is that the Israelis may fear that the Iranian program is on the brink of becoming out of reach of an Israeli military strike, which means it creates a now-or-never moment, Colin Kahl, recently the U.S. deputy assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East, told the Mail and Guardian.The specter of a spiking oil prices causing a new recession is real. High oil prices cause inflation not only at the pump but also for oil-based products, and higher prices in turn can dampen demand, cause a downturn in production and in the end leave more people unemployed.

GENESIS 11:1-9
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language,(70 NATIONS) that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth:(INTO 70 NATIONS) and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Diplomats seek ways to end Syria bloodshed-Officials from more than 70 countries gather for Friends of Syria meeting in Tunisia to explore options for peace. Last Modified: 24 Feb 2012 21:41

Representatives of more than 70 nations have gathered for a Friends of Syria conference in the Tunisian capital aimed at finding ways to end bloodshed in Syria's increasingly violent uprising.At the meeting in Tunis on Friday, Saudi Arabia and Qatar pushed for more forceful intervention against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, with Saud al-Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister, saying he supported the arming of opposition fighters.Faisal said Syrians have the right to defend themselves against Assad's crackdown that has left thousands dead.Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani, Qatar's foreign minister, said an Arab force should be created to impose peace and open humanitarian corridors in Syria.We want this meeting to be a start to stopping the violence in Syria and this cannot be done except after the formation of an international Arab force to maintain security, the opening of secure humanitarian corridors to bring aid to the Syrian people and the application of Arab League decisions,he told the meeting.The current situation demands an Arab intervention in the framework of the [Arab] League, an Arab force to keep peace and security, to accompany diplomatic efforts to convince Bashar to leave,he said.Moncef Marzouki, the Tunisian president, backed calls for an Arab peacekeeping forces but also said that Assad and his family should be granted immunity from prosecution.A political solution must be found, such as granting the Syrian president, his family and members of his regime judicial immunity and a place to seek refuge, which Russia could offer,he said.A declaration by the group is expected later on Friday evening.

Post-Assad plan

Before the conference, the main opposition Syrian National Council (SNC) outlined its vision for a post- Assad era, proposing an interim presidential council of national leaders and a truth and reconciliation committee.In a copy of his speech, Burhan Ghalioun, the SNC leader, called for the continuation of the uprising until Assad was removed or has handed over power as per an Arab League plan.Earlier, the UN and the Arab League appointed Kofi Annan, a former UN secretary-general, to act as a joint special envoy on Syria.The native of Ghana, who along with the UN was awarded the Nobel Peace prize in 2001, has a track record as a mediator, having negotiated a power-sharing deal in Kenya to defuse post-election tensions in 2008.
Turkey called on the Damascus to cooperate with Annan, describing him as a wise man with great experience.All sides, particularly the Syrian administration, should cooperate with Annan's goodwill mission for a peaceful solution to the crisis in Syria to be carried out effectively,the foreign ministry said in a statement.Russia welcomed his appointment and called for an immediate ceasefire to evacuate wounded from the city of Homs.We hope that the work of this respected statesman will assist in solving the acute political and humanitarian problems in Syria, the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.The Russian side will be ready for close cooperation with him in the search for mutually acceptable paths to solutions for these tasks,it said.Expressing serious concern about the humanitarian situation, it said Annan should work with both sides in the conflict and search for a peaceful solution through dialogue between the Syrian government and the opposition.Moscow is seriously concerned about the continuing clashes between government troops and armed groups in a number of populated areas in Syria, above all in the city of Homs,the Russian foreign ministry said.Both Russia and China refused to attend the conference in Tunis, saying they refused international intervention in Syria.

Country-wide protests

The latest diplomatic developments came against the backdrop of country-wide protests in Syria and reports of continued violence in several cities.The anti-government protests were in support of the besieged Homs' neighbourhood of Bab Amr, which has been under a fierce attack by government forces for nearly three weeks.Activists reported the deaths of at least 50 of people on Friday as footage of street protests emerged from Homs, Qamishili, Aleppo, Idlib, Deraa and the suburbs of Damascus.The Local Co-ordination Committees activist network said most of the deaths occurred in the central city of Hama.Activists said the bombardment was continuing in Bab Amr, the neighbourhood where two foreign journalists were killed and two others injured on Wednesday.A Western diplomat told the AFP news agency on Friday that the British and Polish embassies in Damascus were scrambling to evacuate the wounded journalists and the bodies of those killed.Veteran US journalist Marie Colvin, working for Britain's The Sunday Times, and French photojournalist Remi Ochlik, with the IP3 Press agency, were killed when a rocket hit a makeshift media centre in Baba Amr.Edith Bouvier, a reporter for French daily Le Figaro, and Sunday Times photographer Paul Conroy were wounded in the same attack.

MUSLIM NATIONS

EZEKIEL 38:1-12
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

Knesset Speaker to Russians: You're the Other Sheriff-Speaker Rivlin tells visiting Russian parliamentarians they share responsibility for world, along with the US.By Gil Ronen First Publish: 2/27/2012, 1:31 PM

Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin met Monday with representatives of Foreign Affairs and Defense Committees of the Russian Federation Council – the upper house of the Federal Assembly of Russia. He implored the parliamentarian delegation, which includes Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Mikhail Margelov, to act against the Iranian nuclear threat.For Iran, Israel is the symbol of evil – a symbol of Islam's war against the West, Rivlin said. Sometimes threats must be taken seriously. When Iran manufactures unconventional weapons, this is a threat not just to Israel but to the entire free world. I have no doubt that Russia can halt Iran's nuclear arming.
There is not just on sheriff in the world today,Rivlin told Margelov. There are two: the U.S. and Russia. Responsibility for the free world rests with you. Even if it costs financial gain, you must not lend a hand to Islamic fundamentalism that declares its will to erase the state of Israel from the map.If Iranians knew that Russia is not backing them, the world could sleep better, Rivlin said.

Hamas Homeless after Split with Syria, Fatah-The Hamas terrorist organization is homeless following its split with Syria and new obstacles to a unity agreement with the PA’s Abbas.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 2/27/2012, 2:06 PM

The Hamas terrorist organization is homeless following its split with Syria and new obstacles to a unity agreement with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas.Hamas began turning against Syrian President Bashar Assad several weeks ago as his bloody suppression of the year-long rebellion virtually isolates him from the Arab world. Iran is his only major Muslim ally outside of Lebanon, which is under the domination of Hizbullah and pro-Syrian parties.Despite several denials that Hamas leaders have left Damascus, the terrorist organization for all practical purposes is no longer in Syria because we couldn't practice our duties there, Hamas' number two leader Moussa Abu Marzouk told the Associated Press in Cairo.Hamas is also finding itself out of favor with Iran for having turned against Assad and is paying for it by suffering less financial aid from the Islamic Republic.Egypt has been hosting the Fatah faction, headed by Abbas, and the rival Hamas terrorist organization in another of countless efforts to reach a unity agreement four years after Hamas staged a bloody coup to oust Fatah from Gaza nearly five years ago.

As in the past, obstacles again may prove to be insurmountable. The terrorist organization’s supreme leader Khaled Mashaal will not be comfortable with headquarters in Gaza, where there might be a race between Israel and rival terrorist groups over who could be the first to annihilate him.His other choice would be the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Hamas sprang, but the newly elected dominant political party in Egypt is not likely to host it and risk diplomatic anger and possible financial punishment by the American government, which defines Hamas as an illegal terrorist organization.Hamas and Fatah previously have agreed to an interim unity government to be headed by Abbas and followed by elections. However, this week’s meetings in Doha did not narrow the gaps between the rival groups concerning Hamas’s avowed strategy of terror against Israel.Another problem is the current stalemated Palestinian Authority legislature, where Hamas won a majority in the first and only parliamentary elections. Abbas has refused to be bound by the same legislature.

Op-Ed: Apartheid Week and the Long History of Anti-Semitism Published: Monday, February 27, 2012 8:28 AM
License To Murder: The Enduring Threat of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is the author's most recent book. Here he traces the history of anti-Semitism. An important read.Dr. Alex Grobman

There are a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your realm. Their laws are different from those of every other people's, and they do not observe the king's laws; therefore it is not befitting the king to tolerate them.Book of Esther 3:8.Among themselves they [Jews} are inflexibly honest and ever ready to shew compassion, though they regard the rest of mankind with all the hatred of enemies. Tacitus, The Histories Book V.Anti-Semitism existed in one form or another throughout much of human history. This essay examines some historical examples of this particular strain of hate, focusing especially on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the most deceitful, dangerous and pernicious of the libels ever used to incite hatred and violence against the Jewish people.The myth of an international Jewish conspiracy to control the world as advanced in the Protocols has been exposed by historians, journalists, politicians, police and religious leaders. In November 1937, the Court of Appeals in Berne, Switzerland, concluded: This scurrilous work contains unheard of and unjustified attacks against Jews and must without reservation be judged to be immoral literature.1-In the introduction to a 1964 report of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee investigating the Protocols, the senators stated: Every age and country has had its share of fabricated historic documents which have been foisted on an unsuspecting public for some malign purpose…One of the most notorious and most durable of these is the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.2-Yet the Protocols continues to be published in practically every language, in hundreds of editions, in hundreds of millions of copies, and in very compelling videos on the Internet.The potential danger of the Protocols in shaping public opinion should not be underestimated. When Jews are portrayed as manipulators who seek power over other people’s lives, they come to be perceived as dire threats. The Nazis recognized this phenomenon and exploited it, using the Protocols to rationalize the destruction of European Jewry. It is therefore, particularly disconcerting is that this false and harmful perception of the Jews is embraced even today by leaders of the Arab-Muslim world, where the Protocols continues to be published in vast quantities, and cited in the writings of mainstream academics, who lend credibility and legitimacy to this utter falsehood.

Hatred of Jews

Since the third century B.C., when the Hellenists first advanced the case against the Jewish people, 3 an underlying animosity toward Jews has stayed basically constant, no matter what the grievance. Pagans disliked Jews for being aloof, for refusing to worship their gods, for their practice of marital exclusivity, dietary restrictions and missionizing; Christians accused them of killing Jesus; Enlightenment theorists condemned them for Christianity; populists, who supported the right of the people to fight against the privileged elite, blamed them for modernity; and Islamists depicted and continued to depict them as being in the vanguard of Western ideas and values. 4-During the medieval period, Jews were blamed for causing the Black Death by poisoning Europe’s wells. They were accused of engaging in black magic, witchcraft, and profanation of the host (the Christian sacrament); of scheming to destroy of Christendom, and of committing ritual murder in order to obtain the blood of non-Jews for use in religious rituals.5 This latter accusation became so common that it earned a name of its own—the blood libel.

Blood Libels

Despite having originated among Christians, the blood libel began to appear in the Muslim world during the reign of Ottoman sultan Mehmed the Conqueror (March 30, 1432 – May 3, 1481), and almost certainly emanating from the substantial Greek-Christian community that had fallen under the Ottoman regime. During the Byzantine Empire blood libel allegations were common. Under the Ottomans, blood libels were unusual. When they did arise, they were normally denounced by the Ottoman establishment. 6
In the 19th century, however, blood libels reached epidemic proportions and occasionally led to outbreaks of violence throughout the empire. The Damascus Affair in 1840 was most likely the first such accusation. It began on February 5, when Father Tomaso, a Capuchin monk, inexplicably disappeared along with his servant. After being falsely arrested and tortured, a Jewish barber pleaded guilty.7-The French consul, Ratti-Menton, persuaded Father Tomaso’s fellow monks to declare that the Jews had killed him in order to use his blood for their religious rituals. The consul also pressured governor Sharif Pasha to imprison a significant number of Jews including those who were influential. After being tortured, one Jewish leader died, another converted to Islam and still others confessed to various spurious charges.8

To justify this and other measures against Jews, the French consul launched a vigorous press campaign in France targeting Jews in Damascus and Jews in general. Only intervention by the British, with the support of other European governments and the U.S., convinced Muhammad ‘Ali Pasha, the Ottoman governor of Egypt, to order the release of the surviving prisoners. The blood libel was ultimately denounced by the Ottoman sultan who condemned the accusation as unfounded and acknowledged the Ottoman’s determination to protect Jews and their property.9-During the remainder of the 19th century and into the 20th, blood libels were widespread. A few examples will illustrate the point: Aleppo (1810, 1850,1875), Antioch (1826), Damascus (1840, 1848, 1890), Tripoli (1834) Beirut (1862, 1874), Jerusalem (1874), Cairo (1844, 1848, 1890, 1901-1902), Port Said (1903, 1908), Istanbul (1870, 1874), and [even] more often in Balkan and Greek provinces.10-Though extensive antagonism toward Jews existed in Iran and Morocco, blood libels there were almost nonexistent, probably because of the limited presence of Christians and the absence of European influence. This would come later. 11-Four points are important to understand. First, blood libels were invariably instigated by the Christian community, and frequently promoted in the Greek press. Second, these allegations were at times backed and even prompted by foreign diplomats, principally Greek and French representatives. Third, the Jews could generally rely on Ottoman officials to help them. Lastly, the British and sometimes Prussian and Austrian representatives could be counted on for their active assistance in defending against the libels.12-The libels did not remain within the Christian community. By the early 20th century, some Egyptian Muslim newspapers were using them in anti-Jewish campaigns. They became a frequent subject of Muslim anti-Jewish writings in the Middle East and in other parts of the world. 13

The myth of Jews using blood for sacred purposes distanced them from Christians. Blood libels had invariably emerged during times of anxiety. At the end of the 19th century, charges of ritual murders swept through Eastern Europe. Between the two world wars, there were no fewer than 12 trials involving allegations of ritual murder. Even as late as 1930, Jews in Czechoslovakia were accused of having murdered two children, aged 10 and 11, in Subcarpathian Ruthenia.14-The blood libel continued to endure primarily in the backward areas of Eastern Europe and the Russian Empire. The Russian government exploited this myth to incite pogroms but the accusations eventually lost their potency, especially in secular urban areas. In rural regions the legend persisted through the encouragement of the Catholic Church, whose local priests continued to attest to their veracity throughout the 19th century and well into the 20th century.15

The Wandering Jew

Just as the blood libel led Christians to view the Jew as the “harbinger of evil,” the medieval myth of Ahasverus, the wandering Jew, represented to them the curse that Jesus had placed on the Jewish people. The legendary Ahasverus was said to have rushed Jesus to his crucifixion while denying him consolation or refuge, for which he was cursed to wander the rest of his life without a place to live, loathed and disowned. In Christian folklore, his presence portends horror and emptiness.The myth of the wicked Jew became emblematic of the condemned destiny that Jews were supposed to inflict on themselves and all they encountered. The Jew is the eternal rootless foreigner who never finds his home or develops roots anywhere. A living Jew was a much greater symbol of enduring Jewish treachery than a dead Judas Iscariot, who the New Testament claims, was one of the twelve Jesus apostles and who betrayed him. Responsibility for the Crucifixion was no longer viewed as personal and pardonable like Judas’s transgression; instead Ahasverus exemplified the collective responsibility intrinsic in the nomadic Jewish nation.In the 19th century such images were readily acceptable to a culture that celebrated the romantic and the unusual, where the mythical Frankenstein and human vampires captured the imagination of those enthralled with horror tales in which humans were the foil.The blood libel and concept of the wandering Jew provided convincing explanations for societal problems at a time of industrialization, confusing social change and general upheaval in the same way that they had been used in the past to account for plagues and natural catastrophes. 16

Racial Antisemitism

Racists viewed Jews as a satanic force and the source of practically all evil in the world. Jews were allegedly involved in an eternal conspiracy to control the world using any nefarious methods necessary. Communism and capitalism were said to have been created as a means to manipulate the world and dominate its people. Jews were accused of infiltrating modern society and using their skills to direct the government, the stock exchange, the press, the theater, and literature.17

Slave Trade

Jews also were and are still are accused of having been part of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, of owning slaves, and being involved in creating the Jim Crow laws that mandated racial segregation, sharecropping, the labor movement, unions and general mistreatment of black people. 18 On an entirely different level, some feminists claim that Jews are responsible for patrimony and male domination, since they worship a male God and dethroned the Mother Goddess of the ancients.19-This canard of Jewish involvement in the slave trade has been debunked by a number of historians as well as the Council of the American Historical Association (AHA). Historian Seymour Drescher, a noted expert on slavery and antislavery movements, found It is unlikely that more than a fraction of 1 percent of the twelve million enslaved and relayed Africans were purchased or sold by Jewish merchants even once.... At no point along the continuum of the slave trade were Jews numerous enough, rich enough, and powerful enough to affect significantly the structure and flow of the slave trade or to diminish the suffering of its African victims. 2-On January 5, 1995, the Council of the AHA passed a policy resolution relating to the alleged role of Jews in the slave trade. It read as follows:The AHA deplores any misuse of history that distorts the historical record to demonize or demean a particular racial, ethnic, religious, or cultural group. The Association therefore condemns as false any statement alleging that Jews played a disproportionate role in the exploitation of slave labor or in the Atlantic slave trade.The claims so misrepresent the historical record, however, that we believe them only to be part of a long anti-Semitic tradition that presents Jews as negative central actors in human history. In such scenarios, Jews are the secret force behind every major social development from capitalism to democracy, every major cataclysm from the Medieval Pandemic of the plague through the French and Russian Revolutions to the collapse of Communism, and now, incredibly, appear for the first time, as the secret force behind slavery. Unfortunately, the media have given the latest charges wide currency, while failing to dismiss them as spurious. 21

Zionism Equals Racism

On November 10, 1975, the 37th anniversary of Kristallnacht (Night of the Broken Glass), the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 3379, declaring Zionism to be a form of racism and racial discrimination. The resolution was part of a carefully engineered worldwide campaign to undermine the basic legitimacy of the State of Israel, after her enemies tried and failed to have her expelled from the U.N.22-Branding Israel as a racist state portrays her falsely as a country that freely harms civilians, oppresses minorities and restricts immigration. Thus, Israel’s wars, its response to terrorism and the laws passed by the Knesset must be racist and thus illegitimate. A significant danger today is that this charge has become the new stereotype of Israel in popular culture, the media, literature and daily speech, tainting the Jewish state.23-Just prior to September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., the United Nations held its World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance in Durban, South Africa (August 31-September 7, 2001). Six thousand delegates from around the world attended what turned out to be an almost exclusively antisemitic and anti- Israel forum that singled out Israel for special reprimand for wrongdoings.24-What distinguished the Durban conference from other assaults on Israel by the U.N. is the particularly virulent language used and the underlying, but fundamental principle, that Israel should not only be censured, but also no longer allowed to exist. Governments that persecute their own citizens, including some that give sanctuary to international terrorists, sought a formal declaration to delegitimize the Jewish state, demonize her people, and initiate a world-wide movement against her right to remain a country at all. Acts of terror against Israel were rationalized, justified and even applauded.25

9/11--September 11, 2001

Not long after the September 11, 2001 attacks that killed close to 3,000 people in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania, rumors began to circulate that 4,000 Jews and Israelis had been warned by the Mossad, Israel’s CIA, to stay home that day because of an impending attack the Mossad itself was about to launch.26-Many Muslims wondered whether the Mossad had infiltrated or even created Muslim terrorist cells to carry out the bombings.27 Less than a month after the attacks, Sheik Muhammad Gemeaha, former leader of the Islamic Cultural Center on East 96th Street in New York, was quoted on an Arabic language website on October 4, that Zionists in control of the country’s air traffic system had aided the hijackers; that the Zionist-controlled media were tarnishing Muslims’ image; that Jews were spreading their corruption; and that Jewish doctors were poisoning Muslim children in American hospitals. 28-The idea of a Jewish 9/11 conspiracy and other theories about Jewish attempts to control world affairs generated an entire cottage industry of books, pamphlets, videotapes, websites and “expert” speakers on the subject. The charge that Jews were behind 9/11 revived, in modern form, the classic old lies about Jewish pursuit of world domination by any means necessary.29

The Israel and Arab Lobbies

In this environment and in view of the impending war in Iraq, that John J. Mearsheimer, professor of political science and co-director of the Program on International Security Policy at the University of Chicago, and Stephen M. Walt, professor of international affairs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, began to examine the Israel lobby, its alleged profound influence on United States foreign policy and the contentious issue of dual loyalty.30-Mearsheimer and Walt further argued that the very significant level of American assistance to Israel, both of financial and diplomatic, was not justified on moral grounds or even by strategic need. Instead they theorized that the largely unconditional” aid was granted primarily because of the political power of the Israel lobby, a loose coalition of individuals and groups that seek to influence American foreign policy in ways that will benefit Israel.31-The professors argued that, beyond trying to persuade the United States to support Israel more or less unconditionally, the groups and individuals in the lobby played key roles in shaping American foreign policy with regard to the Arab/Israeli conflict, the ill-fated invasion of Iraq, and the ongoing confrontations with Iran and Syria. These policies were not only contrary to American interests but in fact harmful to Israel’s long term interests as well.32-In a March 23, 2003 essay in the London Review of Books, Mearsheimer and Walt were careful to disavow any connection between their views and the Protocols: [T]he Lobby’s activities are not a conspiracy of the sort depicted in tracts like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. For the most part, the individuals and groups that comprise it are only doing what other special interest groups do, but doing it very much better.33-Israel’s enemies have embraced this view because it conveniently corresponds to their own conspiratorial fantasies about American Jews controlling U.S. foreign policy.35 Josef Joffe, publisher and editor of the German weekly Der Zeit, calls this form of antisemitism neo-antisemitism,a variant lacking genocidal intent, but with historic themes of exploitation, manipulation, avarice, worship of false gods and absolute wickedness.

What is new about this form antisemitism? It is the projection of old fantasies on new targets: Israel and America. The U.S. is an antisemitic fantasy come true, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in living color.Isn’t it true that Jews, who owe their primary allegiance to Israel, control the banks, the Pentagon, universities, the media and the Congress? The conspirator this time is not World Jewry, but Israel. 36-The charge that a small group of Jewish officials working in the American government were secretly responsible for engineering the invasion of Iraq in 2003 added weight to Mearsheimer and Walt’s assertions. Elliot Abrams, Douglas Feith and Paul Wolfowitz, all working in senior Pentagon positions along with Jewish intellectuals and commentators outside the government, including William Kristol, Charles Krauthammer and Robert Kagan, were accused of subversively operating not for the benefit of the U.S., but for Israel and particularly Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon.Richard Perle, former Assistant Secretary of Defense, was also supposed to have been part of this cabal that conspired to dupe Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, and President George W. Bush into attacking Iraq. On this basis, anyone wanting to discredit the Bush Doctrine could expose the Iraq invasion for what it really was –-a war initiated by the Jews and fought entirely for the benefit of Israel.To shield themselves from being labeled antisemites, promoters of this theory use the term neoconservative as a euphemism for Jew, which is what they really mean. Using a subterfuge like neoconservative does not hide the standard Protocols canard that Jews are disloyal citizens and always plotting clandestinely to manipulate the humankind for their own evil goals.As political scientist Mitchell G. Bard revealed, it is the Arab lobby, especially Saudi Arabia, which is quantifiably the most potent influence on American foreign policy. Working behind the scenes, the lobby ensures that Arab interests—including oil sales to the U.S., military assistance—are given disproportionate attention by decision makers in order to influence American foreign policy and manipulate public opinion. 38-The Arab lobby, with its deep pockets, long reach and allegiance to theocratic despots, poses an actual danger to American democracy, Bard asserts: One of the most important distinguishing characteristics of the Arab lobby is that it has no popular support. While the Israeli lobby has hundreds of thousands of grass root members and public opinion polls consistently reveal a huge gap between support for Israel and the Arab nations/Palestinians, the Arab lobby has almost no foot soldiers or public sympathy. Its most powerful elements tend to be bureaucrats who represent only their personal views or what they believe are their institutional interests, and foreign governments that care only about their national interests, not those of the United States. What they lack in human capital in terms of American advocates, they make up for with almost unlimited resources to try to buy what they usually cannot win on the merits of their arguments.39-Bard notes that in lobbying for Arab interests the Saudis have taken a different tact from the Israeli lobby, focusing a top-down rather than bottom-up approach to lobbying. He cites a proposal written for the Saudis by hired gun J. Crawford Cook: Saudi Arabia has a need to influence the few that influence the many, rather than the need to influence the many to whom the few must respond.40-The Arab Lobby represents the interests of repressive Arab regimes that frequently stand in opposition to America’s core values and undermine America’s security by supporting terrorism, distorting America’s understanding of the nature of radical Islam and the Middle East by infiltrating extremist viewpoints into the American educational system, and seeking to weaken support for the longstanding friendship between America and Israel. 41

War in Iraq

When the U.S. went to war against Iraq, a number of Americans believed this was because of the key political roles played by American neoconservatives i.e., Jews who instigated the conflict. Jews are also to blamed for past wars, and will be held responsible for future conflicts.42-When Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice-chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, was asked on an African-American talk radio program about the Jews being responsible for the war, he offered a detailed refutation of the charge. Nothing he said persuaded the callers. Then he noted: I see that the secretary of state is Colin Powell and the national security adviser is Condoleezza Rice. It seems to me that it is more of a black conspiracy.The questions ceased.43-Hoenlein’s exchange illustrates the danger of Mearsheimer and Walt’s claims about Jewish political influence when seen against two thousand years of Jewish and anti-Jewish history. They have acknowledged that any claim appearing to impugn the Jews for policy failures is a highly sensitive issue reminiscent of the conspiracy theories found in the Protocols.44-To counter the lie that Jews seek to control the world, we need to understand the historical context in which the Protocols were written, why they continue to be disseminated and why they still endure even after being so decisively and repeatedly debunked.The virulent conspiratorial fantasies featured in the Protocols affect even people who aren’t aware that such a book exists due to the commonly held belief in the mythical power of the Jews. Those who have not read the Protocols, but know it exists, are easily convinced of its veracity since it shows everything abhorrent in the world to be simply the result of an unspeakable Jewish plot.46-The Protocols shape the way Jews, Israel and the West are viewed by the rest of the world. Given the danger Jews are thought to pose, the only way to combat this ruthless enemy, this omnipresent Satan in human flesh,determined to harm and enslave all non-Jews, is to destroy them by any means available—a clear warrant for genocide.47-In his book Warrant for Genocide, which exposes the Protocols for the myth it is, Norman Cohn concludes that this fabrication is the story of how in twentieth century Europe, a grossly delusional view of the world, based on infantile fears and hatreds, was able to find expression in murder and torture beyond all imagining. It is a case history in collective psychopathology and its deepest implications reach far beyond anti-Semitism and the fate of the Jews.48

Apartheid Week may be a step on the way to another warrant.

21.The AHA Council's action was taken in response to a statement on this issue submitted to the Council by historians David Brion Davis (Yale University) and Seymour Drescher (University of Pittsburgh), noted experts on the history of slavery and antislavery movements. The Council decided to publish the Davis-Drescher statement, along with its own policy resolution, in the March 1995 issue of Perspectives. In addition, the Council's policy resolution and the Davis-Drescher statement were released to the press on February 8, 1995. The Davis-Drescher statement follows:During the past few years there have been a number of egregious assaults on the historical record in institutions of higher learning and at educational conferences. These assaults implicate Jews as a dominant group in the Atlantic slave trade and the enslavement of Africans in the New World. The claims so misrepresent the historical record, however, that we believe them only to be part of a long anti-Semitic tradition that presents Jews as negative central actors in human history. In such scenarios, Jews are the secret force behind every major social development from capitalism to democracy, every major cataclysm from the Medieval Pandemic of the plague through the French and Russian Revolutions to the collapse of Communism, and now, incredibly, appear for the first time, as the secret force behind slavery. Unfortunately, the media have given the latest charges wide currency, while failing to dismiss them as spurious. As professional historians, who have closely examined and assessed the empirical evidence, we cannot remain silent while the historical record is so grossly violated.

Atlantic slavery was an intercontinental enterprise extending over nearly four centuries. Ethnically, the participants included Arabs, Berbers, scores of African ethnic groups, Italians, Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, Jews, Germans, Swedes, French, English, Danes, white Americans, Native Americans, and even thousands of New World people of African descent who became slaveholding farmers or planters themselves. Since Portugal and Spain barred Jews from their empires, and since, by the 16th century most of the Jews who weren't either killed or converted in Western Europe had fled east ward, it was impossible for Jews to play more than a marginal role in a vast system that attracted tens of thousands of pagans, Muslims, Catholics, and Protestants. Even in Holland and the Dutch colonies, where Jews were allowed to make their main contribution to New World slavery as merchants and planters, they always formed a minority. Similarly, Jews played only a nominal role in the slave system in the American South. Never more than a tiny fraction of the white population, they never formed more than a minuscule proportion of slaveholders. http://www.historians.org/perspectives/issues/1995/9503/9503AHA.CFM

This conspiratorial message was conveyed in protests at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos in January 2003, when protestors danced around a golden calf. A demonstrator wore a Donald Rumsfeld mask and a yellow Jewish star with the label Sheriff on his chest. Another demonstrator wore an Ariel Sharon mask, while a brandishing a club.

German journalist Marcus Hammerschmitt found it interesting that an ensemble patched together from Carnival costumes (in part, with clear references to animals), the golden calf, a Star of David straight out of Nazi propaganda, and some masks of politicians is so brazenly used to mark the enemy, because the demonstrators assume that the message is already understood: Jewish Americans, or American Jews, worship money and gold and protect it with (animalistic) power, as only they know how. “Simultaneously confusing and clear, both unfathomably deep and barbarically simple, as only authentic credentials of anti-Semitic mania can be, this procession denounces not only the abysmal stupidity of the demonstrators, but also the relationship (seldom clearer) between anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism: The idiots of Davos, who probably still see themselves as leftists, stick onto the person portraying Rumsfeld (in lovely conformity with Iraqi government newspapers) the yellow star and inscribe the star with the word Sheriff in order to dispel any last doubts about their idiocy: For them, everything is one and the same, Americans are Jews, all Jews are like Sharon, a Star of David is the same as the star on a sheriff's badge, the golden calf is a Jewish calf, it's all the same. The onlookers, so they suspect, will certainly understand just what and who is intended; the main point is that the demon dancing around the idol has a signet.(Andrei S.

EZEKIEL 38:1-12
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA) and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.

3 A fire(NUCLEAR BOMB) devoureth before them;(RUSSIA-ARABS) and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army,(RUSSIA,MUSLIMS) and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.(SIBERIAN DESERT)
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.(NUCLEAR BOMB)
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

Israel raids south Gaza after rocket attacks
AFPAFP – FEB 26,12

Israeli warplanes early Sunday carried out an attack on the south of the Gaza Strip after rockets were fired at Israel, according to the army.During the night an Israeli plane hit an arms factory and a smuggling tunnel in the south of the Gaza Strip, the army said in a statement, adding: This raid is in response to the rockets fired at Israel this weekend.Two explosions were heard around Rafah but nobody was injured, Palestinian witnesses said.Three rockets fired from the Gaza Strip had slammed into southern Israel on Saturday without causing casualties or damage, a police spokesman said.Since the beginning of the year, Palestinian militants in Hamas-controlled Gaza have fired more than 50 rockets at southern Israel, army statistics show.Hamas has maintained a tacit truce with Israel, but other armed groups regularly fire rockets across the border, usually sparking air strikes in response.

Seven U.S. soldiers wounded after Afghan NATO base attacked ReutersBy Fraidoon Elhaam and Hamid Shalizi | Reuters – FEB 26,12

KUNDUZ/KABUL, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Seven U.S. military trainers were wounded on Sunday when a grenade was thrown at their base in northern Afghanistan, police said, as anti-Western fury deepened over the burning of the Koran at a NATO base.Despite an apology from U.S. President Barack Obama, riots raged across the country for a sixth day on Sunday against the desecration of the Muslim holy book at a NATO air base at Bagram. Some protesters hoisted the white Taliban flag.The Afghan Interior Ministry identified one of its employees as a suspect in the fatal shooting of two U.S. officers in its headquarters a day earlier, an attack that prompted NATO to recall its staff from ministries.One civilian was killed, 15 more were wounded and three policemen injured in riots near the NATO base in northern Kunduz province, where the blast that wounded the Americans took place, regional police chief Samihullah Qatra told reporters.NATO confirmed there had been an explosion outside one of its bases in northern Afghanistan, but declined to comment on casualties.

The protests have killed 30 people and wounded 200, including two other U.S. troops who were shot dead by an Afghan soldier who joined rallies in the country's east.
The Koran burnings could make it far harder for NATO forces to win the trust of the Afghan public as they try to stabilise the country ahead of the withdrawal of foreign combat troops at the end of 2014.Afghan security sources identified Abdul Saboor, a 25-year-old police intelligence officer, as a suspect in the shooting of the Americans at close range inside the Interior Ministry.In a statement to media, the ministry said: An employee has been identified as a suspect and he has now fled. The Interior Ministry is trying to arrest the suspected individual.NATO is supposed to be moving away from a combat role to an advise-and-assist mission as early as next year. That will require NATO to place more staff in Kabul's ministries.CCTV footage showed that Saboor had access to the Command and Control Centre, tucked deep inside the ministry, where the slain Americans were found, security officials told Reuters on condition of anonymity.The Taliban took responsibility for the attack, saying it was in retaliation for the burning of the Korans.Afghan President Hamid Karzai repeated his plea for calm and restraint.It is time to regain and preserve our calm, and not allow our enemies to misuse it, he told reporters, referring to the nationwide violence.

Penn Judge: Muslims Allowed to Attack People for Insulting Mohammad Yahoo! Contributor Network By Mark Whittington | Yahoo! Contributor Network – Fri, Feb 24, 2012

COMMENTARY | Jonathon Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, reports on a disturbing case in which a state judge in Pennsylvania threw out an assault case involving a Muslim attacking an atheist for insulting the Prophet Muhammad.Judge Mark Martin, an Iraq war veteran and a convert to Islam, threw the case out in what appears to be an invocation of Sharia law.The incident occurred at the Mechanicsburg, Pa., Halloween parade where Ernie Perce, an atheist activist, marched as a zombie Muhammad. Talaag Elbayomy, a Muslim, attacked Perce, and he was arrested by police.Judge Martin threw the case out on the grounds that Elbayomy was obligated to attack Perce because of his culture and religion. Judge Martin stated that the First Amendment of the Constitution does not permit people to provoke other people. He also called Perce, the plaintiff in the case, a doofus. In effect, Perce was the perpetrator of the assault, in Judge Martin's view, and Elbayomy the innocent. The Sharia law that the Muslim attacker followed trumped the First Amendment.Words almost fail.The Washington Post recently reported on an appeals court decision to maintain an injunction to stop the implementation of an amendment to the Oklahoma state constitution that bans the use of Sharia law in state courts. The excuse the court gave was that there was no documented case of Sharia law being invoked in an American court. Judge Martin would seem to have provided that example, which should provide fodder for the argument as the case goes through the federal courts.

The text of the First Amendment could not be clearer. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof- It does not say unless somebody, especially a Muslim, is angered. Indeed Judge Martin specifically decided to respect the establishment of a religion, in this case Islam.That Judge Martin should be removed from the bench and severely sanctioned goes almost without saying. He clearly had no business hearing the case in the first place, since he seems to carry an emotional bias. He also needs to retake a constitutional law course. Otherwise, a real can of worms has been opened up, permitting violence against people exercising free speech.It should be noted that another atheist, dressed as a Zombie Pope, was marching beside the Zombie Muhammad. No outraged Catholics attacked him.

Syria referendum goes ahead amid military onslaught
ReutersBy Alistair Lyon | Reuters – FEB 26,12

BEIRUT (Reuters) - At least 31 Syrian civilians and soldiers were killed on Sunday in fighting over Syria's future that coincided with a vote on a new constitution that could keep President Bashar al-Assad in power until 2028.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said a military bombardment of opposition districts in Homs, now in its fourth week, had killed nine civilians, while rebel fighters had killed four soldiers in clashes in the city.The British-based Observatory said eight civilians and 10 members of the security forces were killed in violence elsewhere in Syria, scene of what has become an increasingly militarized revolt against four decades of Assad family rule.Voting was under way in the referendum on a new constitution, which Assad says will lead to a multi-party parliamentary election in three months, but his opponents see as a sick joke given Syria's turmoil.What should we be voting for, whether to die by bombardment or by bullets? This is the only choice we have, said Waleed Fares, an activist in the Khalidiyah district of Homs.We have been trapped in our houses for 23 days. We cannot go out, except into some alleys. Markets, schools and government buildings are closed, and there is very little movement on the streets because of snipers, he said.He said another besieged and battered district, Baba Amro, had had no food or water for three days. Homs in general has no electricity for 18 hours a day.With most foreign reporters barred from Syria or heavily restricted, witness reports are hard to verify.The Interior Ministry acknowledged obliquely that security conditions had disrupted voting, saying: The referendum on a new constitution is taking place in a normal way in most provinces so far, with a large turnout, except in some areas.The Syrian government, backed by Russia, China and Iran, and undeterred by Western and Arab pressure to halt the carnage, says it is fighting foreign-backed armed terrorist groups.

Prime Minister Adel Safar, asked about opposition calls for a boycott, said this showed a lack of interest in dialogue.There are some groups that have a Western and foreign agenda and do not want reforms in Syria and want to divert Syria's steadfastness, he told reporters in Damascus.We are not concerned with this. We care about ... spreading democracy and freedom in the country, Safar said.If there was a genuine desire for reform, there would have been movement from all groups, especially the opposition, to start dialogue immediately with the government to achieve the reforms and implement them on the ground.The outside world has been powerless to restrain Assad's drive to crush the 11-month-old revolt, which has the potential to slide into a sectarian conflict between Syria's Sunni Muslim majority and the president's minority Alawite sect.Unwilling to intervene militarily and unable to get the U.N. Security Council to act in the teeth of Russian and Chinese opposition, Western powers have imposed their own sanctions on Syria and backed an Arab League call for Assad to step down.U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned on Sunday of the perils of any foreign intervention.I think there is every possibility of a civil war. Outside intervention would not prevent that, it would probably expedite it, she told BBC television in an interview.We have a very dangerous set of actors in the region: al Qaeda, Hamas and those who are on our terrorist list claiming to support the opposition. You have many Syrians more worried about what could come next ...If you bring in automatic weapons, which you can maybe smuggle across the border, what do they do against tanks and heavy artillery? There is such a much more complex set of factors.German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said the referendum was nothing but a farce.Sham votes cannot contribute to a solution of the crisis. Assad needs to put an end to the violence and clear the way for a political transition, he said in a statement.

HARROWING CONDITIONS

The military onslaught on parts of Homs has created harrowing conditions for civilians, rebels and journalists.A video posted by activists on YouTube showed Mohammad al-Mohammad, a doctor at a makeshift clinic in Baba Amro, holding a 15-year-old boy hit in the neck by shrapnel and spitting blood.It is late at night and Baba Amro is still being bombarded. We can do nothing for this boy, said the doctor, who has also been treating Western journalists wounded in the city.American correspondent Marie Colvin and French photographer Remi Ochlik were killed in the bombardment of Homs last week and two other Western journalists were wounded. The group is still trapped there despite Red Cross efforts to extricate them.The International Committee of the Red Cross said on Saturday it was still unable to evacuate distressed civilians from Baba Amro. After a day of talks with Syrian authorities and opposition fighters, it said there were no concrete results.In Hama, another city with a bloody record of resistance to Baathist rule, one activist said nobody was taking part in the referendum. We will not vote on a constitution drafted by our killer, he said by satellite telephone, asking not to be named.If the constitution is approved in the vote, a foregone conclusion, it would drop an article making Assad's Baath party the leader of state and society, allow political pluralism and enact a presidential limit of two seven-year terms.But the limit will not be enforced retrospectively, meaning that Assad, already in power for 11 years, could serve another two terms after his current one expires in 2014.Dozens of people lined up to vote in two polling stations visited by a Reuters journalist in Damascus.I've come to vote for President Bashar, God protect him and give him victory over his enemies, said Samah Turkmani, in his 50s.Another voter, Majed Elias, said: This is a national duty, whether I agree or not, I have to come and vote.This is Syria's third referendum since Assad inherited power from his late father. The first installed him as president in 2000 with an official 97.29 percent Yes vote. The second renewed his term seven years later with 97.62 percent in favor.

DETENTION CENTER SCHOOLS CAN'T TEACH HOMOSEXUALITY IS SIN

Homeschooling families can’t teach homosexuality a sin in class says Alberta gvmt by Patrick B. Craine Thu Feb 23, 2012 15:29 EST

EDMONTON, Alberta, February 23, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Under Alberta’s new Education Act, homeschoolers and faith-based schools will not be permitted to teach that homosexual acts are sinful as part of their academic program, says the spokesperson for Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk.Whatever the nature of schooling – homeschool, private school, Catholic school – we do not tolerate disrespect for differences, Donna McColl, Lukaszuk’s assistant director of communications, told LifeSiteNews on Wednesday evening.You can affirm the family’s ideology in your family life, you just can’t do it as part of your educational study and instruction, she added.Reacting to the remarks, Paul Faris of the Home School Legal Defence Association said the Ministry of Education is clearly signaling that they are in fact planning to violate the private conversations families have in their own homes.
You can affirm the family’s ideology in your family life, you just can’t do it as part of your educational study and instruction, a government spokesperson told LifeSiteNews.A government that seeks that sort of control over our personal lives should be feared and opposed, he added.The HSLDA and other homeschooling groups warned this week that the new Alberta Education Act, which was re-tabled by Alison Redford’s Progressive Conservative government on Feb. 14th to replace the existing School Act, threatens to mandate diversity education in all schools, including home schools.Section 16 of the new legislation restates the current School Act’s requirement that schools reflect the diverse nature of Alberta in their curriculum, but it adds that they must also honour and respect the controversial Alberta Human Rights Act that has been used to target Christians with traditional beliefs on homosexuality. School is defined to include homeschoolers and private schools in addition to publicly funded school boards.

McColl emphasized that homeschoolers were already included in the current definition of school in the School Act, going back to 1988 or longer. And Section 16, she said, is specifically with regards to programs, courses, and instructional materials.
According to McColl, Christian homeschooling families can continue to impart Biblical teachings on homosexuality in their homes, as long as it’s not part of their academic program of studies and instructional materials.What they want to do about their ideology elsewhere, that’s their family business. But a fundamental nature of our society is to respect diversity, she added.Pressed about what the precise distinction is between homeschoolers’ instruction and their family life, McColl said the question involved real nuances and she would have to get back with specifics.But in a second interview Wednesday evening, McColl said the government won’t speculate about particular examples, and explained that she had not yet gotten a straight answer on what exactly constitutes disrespect.She did say that families can’t be hatemongering, if you will.In the first interview, she justified the government’s position by pointing to Friday’s Supreme Court ruling upholding the Quebec government’s refusal to exempt families from its controversial ethics and religious culture program. That program, which aims to present the spectrum of world religions and lifestyle choices from a neutral stance, is required of all students, including homeschoolers.Just last Friday, the Supreme Court of Canada released a unanimous decision on – now it’s S.L. v. the Commission scolare des Chênes 2012 – and that’s the same, section 16 has to apply to everyone, including home education families, she said.Pro-family observers warned that the ruling risked emboldening other provincial governments in their effort to impose diversity programs. The last two years have seen major battles in Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, and now Alberta over the increasing normalization of homosexuality in the schools.The Supreme Court’s narrow ruling did not specifically address homeschooling, however, and left the door open to further court challenges. The court argued that the Quebec family seeking the exemption had simply failed to meet the burden of proof necessary to show that their children’s participation in the course would impede the parents’ ability to raise the children in their Catholic faith.Patty Marler, government liaison for the Alberta Home Education Association, said she was surprised at the Ministry’s straightforwardness, and questioned how they are going to be able to draw the line between school time and family time.We educate our children all the time, and that’s just the way we live. It’s a lifestyle, she said. Making that distinction between the times when we’re homeschooling and when we’re just living is really hard to do.

Throw in the fact that I do use the Bible as part of my curriculum and now I’m very blatantly going to be teaching stuff that will be against [the human rights act], she said.Marler pointed out that the issue has direct implications on how families teach their children about marriage because the Alberta Human Rights Act was amended in 2009 to define marriage as between two persons instead of a man and a woman. When I read Genesis and it talks about marriage being one man in union with one woman, I am very, very clearly opposing the human rights act that says it’s one person marrying another person, she said.According to Faris, the issue with McColl’s statements isn’t about sexuality or anything else on the gay issue, it’s about the government trying to control how we teach our own children in our own homes.He said her comments are particularly interesting in light of the - at the very least - misleading information that a lot of homeschoolers have been getting when they’re calling the Minister’s office, saying Look, there’s no changes here. We’re not going to do anything differently, and other things like that.The long arm of the government wants to reach into family’s homes and control what they teach to their own children in their own homes about religion, sexuality, and morality, he said. These are not the words of a government that is friendly to homeschooling or to parental freedom.The Progressive Conservative government has 67 of the 83 seats in the province’s legislature, so the bill’s passage is essentially assured. But an election is imminent and the new right-wing Wildrose Alliance Party is expected to have a strong showing. A Forum Research poll last week showed the upstart party polling at 30% behind the government’s 37%.The Home School Legal Defence Association is calling on Alberta citizens to contact the Education Minister and their elected representatives.
