What Is This World Coming To?

The London Daily Telegraph claims that it has evidence that the world’s most dangerous anti-Semite may well have a Jewish background.

“A photograph of the Iranian president holding up his identity card during elections in March 2008 clearly shows his family has Jewish roots. A close-up of the document reveals he was previously known as Sabourjian – a Jewish name meaning cloth weaver.”

Wonderful.  A Persian self-hating Jew with an Islamic messianic complex and a nuclear bomb.

Iran said it successfully test-fired short-range missiles during drills Sunday by the elite Revolutionary Guard, a show of force days after the U.S. and its allies condemned Tehran over a newly revealed underground nuclear facility that was being secretly constructed.

English-language Press TV reported the Fateh-110, Tondar-69 and Zelzal were test fired in a missile defense exercise, but did not give specifics on range or other details. All are short-range, surface-to-surface missiles.

Gen. Hossein Salami, head of the Revolutionary Guard Air Force, told reporters Iran tested a multiple missile launcher for the first time. Press TV showed pictures of at least two missiles being fired simultaneously and said they were from Sunday’s drill in a desert in central Iran. In the clip, men could be heard shouting “Allahu Akbar” as the missiles were launched.

“The message of the war game for some arrogant countries which intend to intimidate is that we are able to give a proper, strong answer to their hostility quickly,” the Web site of state television quoted Salami as saying. He said the missiles successfully hit their targets.

Salami told reporters Iran had reduced the missiles and their ranges so they could be used in quick, short-range engagements. He also said Iran would test medium-range Shahab-1 and Shahab-2 missiles on Sunday night and long-range Shahab-3 missiles on Monday, during the drill set to last several days. The Revolutionary Guard controls Iran’s missile program.

As news of the previously unknown Iranian nuclear facility has everybody re-evaluating Iran’s nuclear point of no return, the Israelis are reporting that Syria is caching heavy weapons along its shared border with Israel.

They said the Syrian Army was using civilian assets to conceal the rearmament operation.

“They are using civilian trucks to bring weapons near the border,” Ground Forces Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Mizrachi said.

In an address to a military conference on Sept. 2, Mizrachi said the Syrian Army was storing massive amounts of weapons in villages near the Israeli border. He said unmarked trucks were transporting a range of weapons to villages in the Golan Heights.

“This is why we need to split up our capabilities between a conventional war scenario to one that we are fighting against a non-conventional force,” Mizrachi said.

“The Syrians have learned from [the Iranian-sponsored] Hizbullah on how to use a civilian shield,” a senior officer said. “We expect Syria to do the same thing in any next war.”

Israel scrambled Tuesday to sidestep President Barack Obama’s demand for a West Bank settlement freeze with a diluted counteroffer to Washington.But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s compromise—to take down some squatter camps in exchange for permission to keep building in established settlements—was quickly rejected by hard-liners in his own coalition.

The dispute underscored Netanyahu’s difficult juggling act. He’s trying to avert a crisis with the U.S. over settlements, while keeping his pro-settlement governing coalition intact and forging ahead with construction, such as the rows of apartment blocks going up in this rapidly expanding Israeli city in the West Bank.

However, Obama and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton have spoken in recent days about halting all settlement activity without exception, suggesting Netanyahu may have little room to bargain.

Iran is trying to replicate Nazi Germany’s treatment of the Jewish people, Israeli deputy prime minister Silvan Shalom said Tuesday ahead of a Holocaust ceremony at a former death camp.

“What Iran is trying to do right now is not far away at all from what Hitler did to the Jewish people just 65 years ago,” Shalom told reporters before a ceremony at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. Read the rest of this entry »

US envoy George Mitchell kicked off a fresh round of Middle East shuttle diplomacy on Thursday with a somewhat tense meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.

In response to Lieberman’s earlier declarations that Israel is not bound by previous land-for-peace understandings that the Palestinians have consistently violated, Mitchell insisted that the final outcome of the Middle East peace process must be a sovereign Palestinian Arab state.

The Foreign Ministry released a statement reporting that Lieberman reminded Mitchell that the land-for-peace process has been going on for 15 years, under numerous Israeli governments prepared to surrender most of the demanded territories.

Lieberman concluded: “Thus far, the traditional approach has not brought any results or solutions.”

"Free Palestine" Marchers In London

An axe-wielding Palestinian terrorist attacked two children in the Samarian Jewish community of Bat Ayin on Thursday, killing one and seriously wounding the second.

While he was murdering the thirteen year-old,  Useful Idiots the world over converged on London to carry signs saying “Free Palestine.”   

While the Palestinian chased his second victim,  a SEVEN YEAR-OLD boy whom this dirtbag was unable to dispatch with the first blow to his head,  other Useful Idiots complained about Israeli atrocities against Palestinians. 

The terrorist was disarmed by an adult member of the community but managed to run away.   According to reports from Israel, he was able to slip into a nearby PA-controlled town where he was hidden by ’sympathizers’.

And the Useful Idiots march on.

While the rest of the country stands frozen in astonishment at the Obama administration’s transformation of America into a fascist state, new Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel found it necessary to remind the White House that even a fascist state will need people to oppress.

Netanyahu gave an interview to the Atlantic in which he said, “The Obama presidency has two great missions: fixing the economy, and preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said. “You don’t want a messianic apocalyptic cult controlling atomic bombs. When the wide-eyed believer gets hold of the reins of power and the weapons of mass death, then the entire world should start worrying, and that is what is happening in Iran.”

Team Obama has been flooding the airwaves with reports of great progress being made with Iran at the G-20 with substantive, cordial, face-to-face talks  between US diplomat Richard Holbrooke and Iranian Mehdi Akhundzadeh.  In Washington, the State Department insisted Wednesday that Holbrooke met with the Iranian envoy. 

In Tehran, the Iranians say an encounter in a hallway does not constitute substantive talks.  “Rest assured,” IRNA quoted Akhundzadeh, Iran’s deputy foreign minister, “that if there is a decision to have talks with U.S., like the talks on Iraq, all will be informed about it. There is nothing to hide.”

Iran has repeatedly threatened to destroy Israel.  It has hosted conferences aimed at denying the Holocaust.  One of its conferences was entitled “A World Without Zionism and America.”

Other than that, Iran is perfectly positioned to be our new best friend.

The title says it all . . .

With voting stations officially closed, exit polls at 10 p.m. suggested that Kadima would win Tuesday’s general elections.

However, due to the dramatic rise in support of the Likud and Israel Beiteinu compared with the previous election, it seemed that Likud Chairman Binyamin Netanyahu would have a better chance than Kadima head Tzipi Livni of forming the next coalition.

According to Channel 1, the right-wing bloc won 63 Knesset seats and the left wing 57; Channel 2 predicted 64 for the right and 56 for the left; and Channel 10, like Channel 1, predicted 63 and 57.

At Likud headquarters, activists dismissed Kadima’s edge and predicted Netanyahu would be tapped to form the next government.

Channel 10 quoted Netanyahu as saying “I will be the next
prime minister of Israel.”

Also reacting to the polls, Likud MK Gideon Sa’ar said, “Netanyahu will succeed in building a coalition.”
