Barack Hussein Obama - Cross-Crescent

The Mainstream Media (MSM) is all in a blather (and so also Barack Hussein Obama) over a comment manipulated by the MSM of John McCain.

If you have not heard, the MSM is painting a picture that McCain said Hamas endorses Obama for President. Obama has tried to exploit this sound byte by being outraged that his Campaign receives the endorsement of the Murdering Muslim terrorist organization known as Hamas.

The reality is McCain was quoting a Hamas spokesman who indeed said Hamas preferred Obama over McCain for President of the United States.

Of course the Obama Campaign is going to reject such support as he has – uh – rejected and denounced racist Jeremiah Wright who Obama claims was his mentor and Pastor for over TWENTY YEARS. It would be political suicide to openly even hint publicly that Hamas has a case for destroying Jews and Israel off the planet earth.

After twenty years of association with Jeremiah Wright and a former association of Jew hating Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam I wonder what Obama privately believes.

Anyway, McCain’s point should be noticed. There must be a reason why Hamas fears a McCain Presidency and embraces an Obama Presidency.

Keep that in the back of your mind as you read this report from WorldNetDaily.com.

Mossad Crest 2

Remember the National Intelligence Estimate of 2007 that proclaimed to the world that Iran had abandoned a weapons program in connection with the building of their weapons grade nuclear plant?

When that NIE report came out Iran crowed the big International “I told you so.”

But here is the thing: the NIE 2007 contradicted previous NIE reports and did not align with Israeli Intelligence. Many anti-war Westerners obviously would slough off Israeli Intelligence due to the fact that Israel and Iran are mortal enemies publicly in the war of words and behind the back door with the hushed diplomatic channels on obvious Iranian military supplies to Hezbollah and Hamas. Those two Islamist murdering terrorists (one is Shi’ite and the latter is Sunni) have one agenda: the destruction of Israel and the genocide of Jews.

But lo and behold it is becoming evident that NIE 2007 was a report put together by pro-Arab/pro-Islam oil authors because recent events (including the Israeli destruction of a secret Syrian nuclear program) and verified Intelligence from both British and Israeli Intelligence sheds light on a different outcome than NIE 2007. That outcome is indeed that Iran is has a nuke weapons program.

Apparently if the pro-Arab/pro-oil American Intelligence is willing to look the other way to embarrass the Bush Administration, Mossad of Israel and MI6 of Britain are collaborating and putting Intelligence notes that are leaning strongly to another conclusion completely divergent of the American Intelligence Community (an amalgam of Intelligence Agencies) headed by the Director of National Intelligence that collated the data to arrive at the NIE 2007 conclusion on Iran’s agenda.

Mossad and MI6 believe there is substantial evidence to execute some form of military strike on Iran to slow down or hopefully end Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Israel is even willing to risk a go it alone mission. Israel is hoping to get at least an OK from Washington and London to back up such an expedition since Leftists in both nations would scream bleeding heart murder if the American and British governments participated in such an endeavor.

My guess is that an Israeli strike would provoke a Middle Eastern free-for-all military chess that would draw America and possibly Western nations into the fray. That is not even mentioning the probable support of Iran by Russia and China that could range from limited to the extreme.

Wake up America! The Islamist/Western confrontation is on the horizon.

Israel & disputed land

It is amazing the light that declassified documents bring to move back the darkness of lies.

I was reading an essay by Ted Belman of Israpundit in which he utilizes sources that have examined declassified documents from the UK which demonstrate the Israeli modern heritage that began in 1948 is being compromised by the West (especially America) to the undeserving favor of Arabs that call themselves Palestinians.

In essence every point the Western supported Islamofascist thugocracy terrorist government syndicate known as the Palestine Authority is based on a lie.

I feel in my heart (because I have no proof that I know to access) that the West is turning anti-Israel (and in some cases anti-Semitic) and pro-Palestinian Authority because of the enormous influence that Islamic nations with oil now hold over the West. It is an influence based on economics, which in stable political times is a greater weapon than a military arsenal.

Before World War II there is no way the Western Nations would allow third rate medieval governed nations to pull the purse strings of power. The Europeans especially would have sent there various national military armada and demand this is how it is going to work to keep the Western economies moving.

Leftists and third rate nations call this imperialism; I call it protecting the National Interests and National Security of the constituent populations which the Western governments represent.

The modern West views using force or war as a political weapon as repugnant because of the weariness of nearly a century plus of internecine wars in the West; thus when the National Interests (the secure well-being and domestic prosperity) of its citizens are threatened by medieval notions Dar al-Islam and Sharia Law the West looks the other way and makes self-loathing excuses for the brutality and designs of oil empowered Islamic Culture.

Once powerful nations of Western Europe are beginning to feel the squeeze of Islamic Culture sucking the life force of Western Culture from it soul.

America is in the early stages of this Islamic Culture sucking. Europe is often called Eurabia today. Will there be a time when America’s heritage of Christian influence, Liberty, Freedom, Domestic Tranquility, the Pursuit of Happiness and so forth will nullified by a term such as Amerarabia?

UN ONCE Supported Freedom

Atlas Shrugs posts some excerpts that demonstrate the true nature of the United Nations. It has become a club of anti-Semitics (Atlas Shrugs term is apropos – Judeophobics). The UN was creator by the victors of WWII that wished to have a global organization that promoted peace and human rights for the inhabitants of planet Earth.

As the Western Democracies became the minority to Third World dictatorships and eventual petro-dollar strong Mohammedan autocratic nations, the UN has become a global organization that dumps on the Middle East’s only viable Western Democracy with full equal Rights to all citizens of race, creed and faith – Israel.

Indeed Israel was created out of the Western Guilt of allowing the Holocaust to proceed thus the Land Israel became a nation in which people of Jewish origin (practicing and non-practicing Jews) have a haven in which their government would not persecute them for being Jewish.

Jump from the modern Israeli nationhood of 1948 to the present and one can view a series of wars perpetrated by Jew hating Arabs (mostly Mohammedan but also a few secularist and dhimmified Christian Arabs) to exterminate the Jews of Israel as if they were vermin and not people. Hello memories of the Nazi “Final Solution.”

Look at the properties of anti-Semitism today. There is an emerging rise of anti-Semitism in Europe again. My opinion this is occurring because of the Leftist susceptibility to embrace the propaganda of Mohammedan victimization propaganda. That propaganda basically vilifies Israeli harshness toward Arabs that call themselves Palestinians yet horrifically fails to explain it is an Israeli response to terrorist action against Israel. The Mohammedan propaganda also fails to mention these Arabs not only support the terrorist acts they also aid and hide the terrorists from Israeli justice. Thus Israel often reacts to punish families or neighborhoods of the terrorists because is all the horror of accomplice to murder.

The West does not hear or read this part but only reads, hears and sees the propaganda of Mohammedan victimization.

Another seed of the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe is the influx of Mohammedan immigrants that have flocked to Europe with hatred and animosity in their hearts already planted against Jews.

And worst of all the United Nations of has become a disseminator of anti-Semitism due to the inherent nature of the majority of haters of Democracy and Jews that have rendered the original creation of the UN as a mockery.

I like the quote given in Atlas Shrugs tagged to John McCain concerning the UN:

John McCain has it exactly right when he talks about replacing the UN by a union of democracies —a suggestion I have myself repeatedly made over the years.

Human Shield Missile Def. System

Well I have to say this about Hamas as compared to the rest of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). They are honest about their intentions.

For Hamas to sign a Two-State peace agreement with Israel is out of the question. For Hamas it is Dar al-Islam or nothing. Mahmoud Abbas acting as President of the Palestine Authority and Chairman of the PLO publicly hints of a Two-State solution yet like his mentor Yasser Arafat speaks to his minions about the destruction of Israel.

So for Abbas managed operations utilize al-Taqiyya for the kafir (infidel) and Palestine or nothing for his minions. Abbas and various factions of the PLO are more secular minded (as far as a Mohammedan can go with secularism anyway) than the overtly Hamas which is connected to the aspiration of the Muslim Brotherhood and Wahahbi radicalism to re-awaken Mohammedan global supremacy as in the old medieval days.

The point being Hamas admits its brutality of using women and children as human shields to inflict guilt on Israeli self-defense and delude the West into believing Israel is a voracious murderer of civilians. This is how Hamas (a radical member of the religion of peace) justice its means in an attempt to end Israel’s existence.

I wonder what Mo would have thought of Hamas using a Western concept known as Machiavellianism which promulgates the ends justifies the means. Actually Mo would probably pat Hamas on the back for modifying a Western concept to execute brutality upon the kafir.

Commando suicide

Polls conducted by Arabs that call themselves Palestinians and polls conducted by Israelis demonstrate that a majority of these Palestine Authority Arabs support terrorism against Israel while the Israeli polls show that a majority of Israelis want to stop further withdrawals from Judea/Samaria (the West Bank).

So someone in the West tell me again how creating a sovereign Palestinian State will bring peace to the Middle East.

Skywalker vs Vader - good vs evil

Bob Tyrrell writes of the foolishness of Appeasing a people whose reason for existence is to hate Jews, the nation Israel and America.

At the direction of America and the anti-Semitic pressure of the EU, Israel has given and given and has received absolutely ZERO reciprocity.

This is a Western hypocrisy that will end the existence of Israel or inevitably end in an upgrade from the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) to a World War. The stakes will be a defensible Jewish homeland and the threat of the world’s oil reserves that is the current energy life-blood of the globe.

Haj Amin al-Husseini - Grand Mufti Jerusalem

I am re-posting from the blog Sigmund, Carl and Alfred an excellent summary of how the seeds of Jewish hatred were planted between Arabs and the emerging State of Israel.

Here is a clue: the pollination of the seeds of Jewish hatred came from the Third Reich through Haj Amin El Hussein (Grand Mufti of Jerusalem) who cooperated with Hassan Al Banna (Founder of Ikhwan or Muslim Brotherhood) and then passed on to the Mufti’s nephew – Yasser Arafat.

Deja Vu All Over Again, The Mufti And The Palestinian Authority

Posted by SC&A

March 7, 2008-03-08

Sigmund, Carl and Alfred

The attack on the Jewish seminary in Jerusalem was not the first time Palestinian terrorists chose a religious venue.

Recall the Passover Massacre of 2002.

There was attack on a Jewish seminary, in another time. Flashback to 1929:

“At 4:00 pm, an Arab crowd began gathering outside the Hebron Yeshiva and throwing stones through the windows. Only two people were inside, a student and the sexton. Upon being hit, the student tried to leave to find himself facing the Arab crowd, who grabbed him and stabbed him to death… Early the following Saturday morning, a crowd armed with staves and axes appeared in the streets and killed two Jewish boys, one stoned to death and the other stabbed…some of the remaining rioters, shouting “on to the Ghetto…”

One third of the killed were students of the Hebron yeshiva…

On September 1, Sir John Chancellor [publicly] condemned:-

‘the atrocious acts committed by bodies of ruthless and bloodthirsty evildoers… murders perpetrated upon defenseless members of the Jewish population… accompanied by acts of unspeakable savagery.’

High Commissioner Chancellor had more to say. From a letter to his son:

I do not think history records many worse horrors in the last few hundred years.

 

I am so tired and disgusted with this country and everything concerned with it that I only want to leave it as soon as possible.

The principle instigator was Haj Amin El Hussein. The Mufti was certainly known by the company he kept;

November 2, 1943 Himmler’s telegram to Mufti (see image):

 

‘To the Grand Mufti: The National Socialist movement of Greater Germany has, since its inception, inscribed upon its flag the fight against the world Jewry. It has therefore followed with particular sympathy the struggle of freedom-loving Arabs, especially in Palestine, against Jewish interlopers. In the recognition of this enemy and of the common struggle against it lies the firm foundation of the natural alliance that exists between the National Socialist Greater Germany and the freedom-loving Muslims of the whole world. In this spirit I am sending you on the anniversary of the infamous Balfour declaration my hearty greetings and wishes for the successful pursuit of your struggle until the final victory.’ Reichsfuehrer S.S. Heinrich Himmler

 

…During the Nuremberg Trials, Eichmann’s deputy Dieter Wisliceny testified that The Mufti was one of the initiators of the extermination of European Jewry and a collaborator and adviser of Eichmann and Himmler in the initiation of the Final Solution.

For more see Answering Islam The Nazi Islam Connection.

More on the Mufti:

Once in Berlin, the Mufti received an enthusiastic reception by the “Islamische Zentralinstitut” and the whole Islamic community of Germany, which welcomed him as the “Führer of the Arabic world.” In an introductory speech, he called the Jews the “most fierce enemies of the Muslims” and an “ever corruptive element” in the world. Husseini soon became an honored guest of the Nazi leadership and met on several occasions with Hitler. He personally lobbied the Führer against the plan to let Jews leave Hungary, fearing they would immigrate to Palestine. He also strongly intervened when Adolf Eichman tried to cut a deal with the British government to exchange German POWs for 5000 Jewish children who also could have fled to Palestine. The Mufti’s protests with the SS were successful, as the children were sent to death camps in Poland instead. One German officer noted in his journals that the Mufti would liked to have seen the Jews “preferably all killed.” On a visit to Auschwitz, he reportedly admonished the guards running the gas chambers to work more diligently. Throughout the war, he appeared regularly on German radio broadcasts to the Middle East, preaching his pro-Nazi, anti-Semitic message to the Arab masses back home [emp-SC&A]

 

To show gratitude towards his hosts, in 1943 the Mufti travelled several times to Bosnia, where on orders of the SS he recruited the notorious “Hanjar troopers,” a special Bosnian Waffen SS company which slaugh-tered 90% of Bosnia’s Jews and burned countless Serbian churches and villages. These Bosnian Muslim recruits rapidly found favor with SS chief Heinrich Himmler, who established a special Mullah Military school in Dresden.

 

The only condition the Mufti set for his help was that after Hitler won the war, the entire Jewish population in Palestine should be liquidated. After the war, Husseini fled to Switzerland and from there escaped via France to Cairo, were he was warmly received. The Mufti used funds received earlier from the Hilter regime to finance the Nazi-inspired Arab Liberation Army that terrorized Jews in Palestine…

 

After the war, a member of Young Egypt named Gamal Abdul Nasser was among the officers who led the July 1952 revolution in Egypt. Their first act – following in Hitler’s footsteps – was to outlaw all other parties. Nasser’s Egypt became a safe haven for Nazi war criminals, among them the SS General in charge of the murder of Ukrainian Jewry; he became Nasser’s bodyguard and close comrade. Alois Brunner, another senior Nazi war criminal, found shelter in Damascus, where he served for many years as senior adviser to the Syrian general staff and still resides today.

 

Sami al-Joundi, one of the founders of the ruling Syrian Ba’ath Party, recalls: “We were racists. We admired the Nazis. We were immersed in reading Nazi literature and books… We were the first who thought of a translation of Mein Kampf. Anyone who lived in Damascus at that time was witness to the Arab inclination toward Nazism…” [emp-SC&A]

 

The PLO and notably Arafat himself do not make a secret of their source of inspiration. The Grand Mufti el-Husseini is venerated as a hero by the PLO. It should be noted, that the PLO’s top figure in east Jerusalem today, Faisal Husseini, is the grandson to the Führer’s Mufti. Arafat also considers the Grand Mufti a respected educator and leader, and in 1985 declared it an honor to follow in his footsteps. Little wonder. In 1951, a close relative of the Mufti named Rahman Abdul Rauf el-Qudwa el-Husseini matriculated to the University of Cairo. The student decided to conceal his true identity and enlisted as “Yasser Arafat.”

In an environment where Holocaust denial and ‘We’ll finish what Hitler started‘ is a part of the consciousness of every Palestinian, is the Hamas response to yesterday’s massacre really a surprise?

From Reuters:

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday condemned a shooting attack in Jerusalem that killed at least eight people.

 

“President Mahmoud Abbas condemns the attack in Jerusalem that claimed the lives of many Israelis and he reiterated his condemnation of all attacks that target civilians, whether they are Palestinians or Israelis,” said Abbas aide Saeb Erekat.

Deja vu, all over again:

While in English language media, the Palestinian Authority condemned the attack saying “The leadership strongly denounces Netanya operation against Israeli civilians and decides to prosecute those involved or responsible,”[3] in Arabic it glorified the “shahid” on January 21, 2003, the official PA daily newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida published a report saying “the Tulkarm Shahids Memorial Soccer Championship tournament of the Shahid Abd Al-Baset Odeh began with the participation of seven top teams, named after Shahids who gave their lives to redeem the homeland. Isam, the brother of the Shahid, will distribute the trophies.” [4]

Plus ca change…

Human shields

The foolishness of Arab appeasers at the reception of distorted half truths from the Arab sympathetic Mainstream Media (MSM) always makes Israel the villain when so-called Arab civilian casualties occur when Israel defends itself from attacks Jew hating Arab terrorists who call themselves Palestinians.

Evelyn Gordon writing for the Jerusalem Post reveals the full story that the MSM and Palestinian propagandists leave out.

Civil Fights: The canard of 'disproportionate force'

By EVELYN GORDON

Mar 5, 2008 21:35 | Updated Mar 6, 2008 14:44

The Jerusalem Post

International denunciations of Israel came thick and fast this week. The EU's rotating president, Slovenia, condemned the "disproportionate use of force by the Israeli Defense Forces against the Palestinian population in Gaza." UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon slammed Israel's "excessive and disproportionate" response to Palestinian rocket attacks. Even the US State Department urged Israel to "exercise caution to avoid the loss of innocent life," which is merely a milder version of the same premise: that Israel is to blame for all Palestinian civilian casualties, either because it uses "disproportionate force" or because it exercises insufficient "caution." Yet media reports on the fighting in Gaza reveal that in fact, the blame frequently lies with Palestinian behavior.

Take, for example, an Israeli air strike that killed two Palestinian teenagers last Wednesday. According to The New York Times, "witnesses in Gaza told the Palestinian news media that the civilians were hit while standing at a launching site watching Hamas militants firing rockets." There can be no more justified military activity than targeting terrorists in the very act of firing rockets at civilians. If that is "disproportionate," all military activity is. Moreover, since Hamas eschews uniforms, the IDF has no way to distinguish rocket crews from civilians who are cheering them on. Thus any civilian who rubbernecks at a rocket launch is clearly and deliberately putting himself in danger - which in itself should absolve Israel of responsibility.

BUT MORE importantly, for that very reason, most armed forces do not allow civilians in firing zones. The IDF, for instance, generally declares active combat areas "closed military zones" from which Israeli civilians are legally barred, and it enforces such orders. Other Western armies do the same.

But Hamas needs civilian casualties to fuel Palestinian and international anger at Israel. So rather than barring civilians from its launch zones, it welcomes them. And if they do not volunteer for the victim's role, it co-opts them - as happened last weekend: "Palestinian gunmen took up positions in homes while the civilians were still inside," Haaretz reported.

Firing back at people who are shooting at you is also clearly legitimate military activity; no law of war obligates soldiers to let themselves be mown down without a fight just because there are civilians nearby. Moreover, soldiers have no way of knowing whether the civilians have fled or are still inside a house; all they can be certain of is the presence of gunmen.

Under such circumstances, civilian casualties are inevitable. But those casualties are not caused by "disproportionate force" or insufficient "caution"; they are the direct result of Hamas's decision to use civilian homes, with the people still inside, as bases for targeting Israeli soldiers.

Moreover, civilians are not always innocent. Those whose homes were invaded by Hamas were presumably unwilling hostages. But some Palestinians voluntarily serve as "human shields" for terrorists - and by actively aiding and abetting terror, they turn themselves into combatants.

In one widely publicized case in November 2006, for instance, the IDF, seeking to avoid civilian casualties, announced two planned air strikes 30 minutes in advance to enable civilians to leave. Instead, Hamas used the loudspeakers of local mosques to urge civilians to flood the area and serve as human shields. Hundreds did so, and the IDF - precisely because Israel tries to avoid civilian casualties - consequently aborted the strikes. Yet these civilians were hardly "innocent": They deliberately intervened in an armed conflict on the terrorists' behalf.

What is most noteworthy about such incidents, however, is what they say about the Palestinian claim - mindlessly parroted by the international community - that the IDF fires indiscriminately, without regard for civilians. In fact, Hamas summoned civilian reinforcements precisely because it knew a civilian presence would prevent the air strikes. And the civilians came for the same reason - not because they sought death, but because they knew the IDF would not shoot them.

IN ANOTHER incident that same month, hundreds of Palestinian women purposely entered a combat zone to shield gunmen besieged by IDF soldiers. Again, they were deliberately abetting combatants. And again, they knew they could do so safely, because the IDF would not shoot them. And indeed, the soldiers held their fire as the wanted men escaped by mingling with the crowd.

In July 2006, The New York Times described another Gaza battle as follows: "[Israeli] soldiers fired at groups of armed Palestinians who fought in the streets, sometimes surrounded by curious and excited children." Why any parent would let his children outside during a gunfight is a mystery. But unless these parents were deliberately sacrificing their children for propaganda purposes, such behavior demonstrates a truly extraordinary faith in the IDF's efforts to avoid harming civilians.

Contrast this with Palestinians' behavior when the combatants are not Israelis. During last May's Hamas-Fatah infighting, for instance, the Times reported: "The streets of Gaza City were empty except for the gunmen, with shops shuttered and residents remaining indoors, usually in interior rooms farthest from the windows." No "curious and excited" children surrounding the gunmen in these battles: Gazan parents who trusted the IDF with their children's lives evidently placed no similar reliance on Palestinian forces.

THE MEDIA reports above, and numerous others like them, make three things clear: (1) Palestinians know full well that Israel strives to avoid civilian casualties; indeed, as their behavior demonstrates, they count on this. (2) Palestinian civilians frequently deliberately put themselves in the line of fire - either to help the combatants, or, like those "excited children," merely to cheer them on. (3) Palestinian terror groups deliberately foster casualties among their own civilians: Not only do they not discourage civilians from entering combat zones; they force them to do so - for instance, by invading civilian homes - when there are no volunteers.

In short, Palestinian civilian casualties usually result not from "disproportionate force" or "insufficient caution" by the IDF, but from Palestinian behavior, on the part of both civilians and terrorists.

But of course, realizing this would require actually reading reports of the fighting. It is much easier just to skim the headlines and issue stock condemnations of Israel.

Free Pal. is code for kill jews

The incompetence of Prime Minister Olmert to manage the government of Israel is appalling. Combine this with the Bush Administration intense pressure on Olmert to agree to create a Palestinian-Arab State managed by a gang of greedy turf minded terrorist thugs and you will have more violence not less.

There is only way for a Palestinian State to exist and that is for fellow Arabs to actually step in and do a Donald Trump to the fractured Islamist thugs and say, “YOU’RE FIRED!”

The only way for there to be Middle East peace is Arab nations like Jordan and Egypt to join Israel and cooperate in the front of the World’s eyes and remove the incendiary Palestinian murderous thugs.

Without major Arab cooperation the Bush Administration and Ehud Olmert are setting the Jews of Israel for a Wahhabi-Muslim Brotherhood-Syrian-Iranian dream come true: The eradication of the existence of the Land Israel.

Read Carolyn Glick’s insight on this related to Bush and Rice forcing the incompetent dolt Olmert to decease the Gaza Offensive even though CAIR’s pals the Hamas terrorists continuously sends rockets into Israeli civilian cities.
