I don’t know who D.R. Tucker is but I sure enjoy how he breaks down the Barack Hussein Obama campaign for President.

The Hamas Interest in the Tahdiya (Temporary Truce) with Israel
Apparently the practice of political Islam is much more politically deceptive than I imagined. Mohammedanism has different terms for peace that has different degrees of understanding in which the Western geopolitical mind has a difficult time in grasping diplomatically. Not too long ago Egypt brokered (what the MSM called) a truce between Israel and Hamas of Gazastan. The MSM called the truce an Islamic hudna which apparently is a temporary peace; nonetheless certain members of the Israeli government were dubious of the reasons Hamas agreed to the said hudna.

What is so complicated about holding rogue nations accountable for actions that destabilize peace? Until recently the Middle Eastern rogue nations militarily were mere popcorn (some doused in oil) nations only capable of making the sounds of many little pops. It was only through nations that have or have been military powers that these popcorn rogues had military weapons. Now due to the fear of the loss of oil Western nations are allowing rogue Iran to become a nuclear power with the capability to do something more than a little a pop. Iran is moving toward a thermal nuclear BOOM.
Then there is Syria: A rogue nation that is geographically smack in the middle of active Islamofascist terrorists without sovereignty. Syria has basically become a rogue sovereign nation client of Iran. Syria’s Baathist Party functions similar to Saddam’s Baathist Party. Saddam’s minority Sunnis ruled ’s majority Shi’ites with brutality. Assad’s minority Alawite Mohammedan sect rules the majority Sunni sect in Syria. Alawites are somewhat cousins to the Shi’ites of Iran except they go beyond the reverence of Mohammed’s cousin Ali as the legitimate heir of Mohammed, they have deified Ali.
Assad’s Syria has become a bold rogue as the client of nuclear emerging Iran. Thus Assad has massively aided Shi’ite Hezbollah and Sunni Hamas and probably lesser known murdering Islamofascist terrorists. Assad has taken dead Yasser Arafat’s mantle of deceiving the West with the preferment of peace while telling the Mohammedan Middle East to resist the West violently and destroy Israel vehemently.
The more America and the West tries appeasing negotiation with Syria and Iran the closer the globe comes to another to another all out World War.
Mahmoud Abbas is President of the Palestinian Authority (PA). Abbas is also Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). His further credentials are as leader of the Fatah terrorists which part of the PLO umbrella. Abbas is hailed as a moderate that can engage diplomatically with the West. Abbas is merely more deceptive than Hamas or Hezbollah. He is just like his predecessor Arafat, Abbas tells the West one thing and preaches hatred of Israel to his fellow Arabs. Abbas must approve school curriculum in the Palestine Authority areas. Check out the maps that the PA hands out to students HERE.
Bill Mehlman ponders as to why the West considers Abbas a so-called moderate Palestinian-Arab.

Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas (a.ka.Abu Mazen) has been touted up and down theWest -- not least notably in Israel – as the world’s gift to Palestinian “moderation.” This, as opposed to those “really bad guys” in Hamas and Hezbollah. Coveniently overlooked is his record as a certified Holocaust belittler (he grudgingly concedes it happened but claims the results were grossly inflated), bagman for the murderers of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Winter Olympics in Munich and Arafat loyalist par excellence.
Also conveniently overlooked is the fact that Abbas, as head of the PA, also controls the Palestinian school system, including the curriculum, the textbooks, the visuals and whatever else is fed into the heads of a million or so Palestinian Arab children every semester. If Abbas has traded in his Arafatian stripes for polkadots, as his promoters claim, the surest place to look for supporting evidence would be the Palestinian classroom. David Bedein, who doubles as editor of Jerusalem-based Israel Resource News Agency and correspondent for the Evening Bulletin in Philadelphia, recently took just such a look. His conclusions are not comforting. “…The new school books that…Mahmoud Abbas has now introduced in the Palestinian Authority school system -- run independently of Hamas --” Bedein reported to the Bulletin, “represent a curriculum that prepares a new generation of Palestinians to destroy Israel.”
Referring to a recent study of those Abbas-approved PA school texts commissioned by the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (www.intelligence.org.il) in Herzliya, an outfit solidly on the left-liberal side of the Israeli political spectrum, Bedein has elucidated the following among the “pearls of wisdom” being showered on Palestinian children in their new textbooks:
*Israel does not exist on the maps of the world included in the PA texts. Israeli territory -- all of it – is stamped PALESTINE.
*Haifa is identified as a “Palestinian seaport” (Vol. 2, p.7, “Our Beautiful Language,” 5th grade textbook p.86).
*Galilee, Nazareth and Bet She’an become “regions in Palestine” on p.7 of “Home Economy,” 10th grade textbook, pp.36-37.
*Textual references to Israel are confined to its “occupation of lands” in 1948 and 1967.
*Zionism is portrayed as an enemy ideology: “The Palestinian people,” students are informed, “are under an oppressive siege, limiting their movement and way of life.”
*An “extremist Zionist” is accused on page 12 of “History of the New Modern World,” a 10th grade textbook ( p. 106) of setting fire to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in 1969 (totally ignoring the fact that a mentally unstable Australian tourist confessed to the crime).
*The forged anti-Semitic tract “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” is cited as the basis for a secret decision on the part of the First Zionist Congress in Basle, Switzerland to foster the creation of a Zionist state on page 13 of “History of the New Modern World,” 10th grade textbook, pp. 60-64.
*The new PA texts declare that the only ancient inhabitants of today’s Israel were Arabs.
*They extol war, violence – especially martyrdom – as the sole path to the achievement of Palestinian goals, paying tribute to the heroic mother “who incessantly presents one sacrifice (‘fida’) after another,” (“Our Beautiful Language,” Vol 2, 5th grade textbook, P.31). Victory or Martyrdom are offered as the wonderful options for those who go into battle “for the sake of Allah” (“Our Beautiful Language,” Vol 1, p.70).
*The new PA-approved Palestinian textbooks feature children with such names as “Jihad” (holy war) and “Nidal” (struggle).
*The return of “refugees” to all of “Palestine” is a concept pervading the new Palestinian school books. “The wrong must be made right by returning them to their homes,” trumpets “Our Beautiful Language,” Vol 2, p.43). “Returning to the homes, the plains and the mountains under the banners of glory, jihad and struggle” (“Our Beautiful Language,” Vol 1, p.88).
Bedein points out that the damage evoked by these texts is compounded by the fact that they have been incorporated into the curricula of the Arab schools in Jerusalem. Moreover, he adds, “a movement is afoot in the Israeli Arab schools in the rest of Israel to adopt the PA curriculum in their schools.” He reports that questions put before Prime Minister Olmert on this issue have gone unanswered. As then mayor of Jerusalem in 2001, his reaction to the incorporation of PA texts in the city’s Arab schools was “they can teach what they want and we will teach what we want.”
Is that still Mr. OImert’s mindset? When the Evening Bulletin raised the issue anew last summer, an Olmert cabinet secretary replied that it was not on the prime minister’s agenda.
