http://www.americanthinker.com/printpage/?url=http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/09/wash_post_inverts_un_report_on_flotilla_raid_to_blacken_israel.html Let’s start with the actual conclusions of the UN report on last year’s Israeli commando raid on the Mavi Marmara, the lead Turkish vessel in a flotilla attempting to breach Israel’s blockade of Gaza . To wit: –Israel was within its legal rights to blockade Gaza because of persistent attacks from this Palestinian territory on […]

LOTS OF BLATHER IN THIS COLUMN AND THIS IS A COMMENT POSTED BY KENNY SOLOMON…..GO KENNY!!!

“That has about as much chance of happening as does Obama becoming a Republican – Get a grip – The peace lovers have one goal & one goal only – It’s part of their ‘religion of peace’ – It’s in the books (Qur’an, Sira & Hadith) – Kill every Jew on the planet, and convert, force- submit or kill every other non-Muslim on the planet — Wake up ! Additionally…… If you still don’t see where all this is coming from ? — It’s The Muslim Brotherhood coordinating a takeover – all nice and legal-like through elections (that were forced on nations by “protests”) in every nation surrounding Israel and an actual marketing/public relations campaign sealing the support of Dhimmis & leftists world-wide, especially here in what’s left of America — The S is gonna HTF soon and from all sides at once, straight at Israel and Jews….. Then the rest of the western world is next.”

DANIEL GREENFIELD: PART 2 WEEKLY ROUNDUP….SEE NOTE PLEASE

DEAR SULTAN: NO ONE DISPUTES THE NECESSITY FOR VETTING…..BUT, AND THIS IS A BIG BUT…CALLING HIM A STEALTH SHARIA OR A FIFTH COLUMN CANDIDATE AND REFERRING TO BLOGGERS WHO PRINT DIFFERING OPINIONS AS “ASSHAT” OR “PISHER” IS DUMB AND VULGAR., AND THEN TO ASCRIBE “SINISTER” MOTIVES TO THE PERRY CAMPAIGN IS RIDICULOUS. AS TO PERRY’S RECORD ON ISRAEL, IT IS NOT BASED ON A DEFENDER OF JERUSALEM AWARD….IT IS BASED ON DECADES OF SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL BASED ON FAITH AND AMERICAN INTERESTS LONG BEFORE HE SOUGHT NATIONAL OFFICE…. AND YES! GOING FOR THE PERSON WHO CAN DEFEAT OBAMA IS CRITICAL….AND NO CANDIDATE IS PERFECT….RSK

FEAR OF VETTING

So Michele Bachmann ran a fairly effective ad aimed at Perry’s record, albeit with a cheesy voiceover, and the discussion was 50 percent voiceover, 49 percent “she’s crazy and should drop out) and 1 percent ad content.

DANIEL GREENFIELD: SPEECH! SPEECH! WEEKLY ROUNDUP PART 1

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ SPEECH, SPEECH After a petty showdown with Republicans and a temper tantrum, Hussein the First has agreed to move that speech which no one particularly cared about anyway to another day. There’s nothing that O can say that will convince the country that sunny skies are ahead. With 80 percent of Americans saying that […]

ROGER KIMBALL: BANKING IN THE AGE OF OBAMA

http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerkimball/2011/09/02/damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-dont-banking-in-the-age-of-obama This is rich: a headline from our former paper of record: U.S. Is Set to Sue a Dozen Big Banks Over Mortgages Yes, that’s right: the Feds are casting a beady eye upon Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, “among others,” accusing them of “misrepresneting the quality of mortgage securities […]

Did the U.S. A U.S. based Christian organization called the “Liberty Counsel” has claimed that the U.S. State Department tried to wreck Glenn Beck’s August pro-Israel “Restoring Courage” rally in Jerusalem by officially advising American citizens that the immediate area were the […]

MARK ANTHONY SIGNORELLI: REVIEWS MARK STEYN’S “AFTER AMERICA: GET READY FOR ARMAGEDDON

http://www.newenglishreview.org/custpage.cfm
There is a particular difficulty in writing a review of a Mark Steyn book. Typically, a reviewer has one basic question before him: “is this book worth the attention of the reader or not?” But with a Steyn book, the question is moot. Of course its worth the reader’s attention; its by Mark Steyn, probably the most brilliant commentator on current affairs writing today. And since After America is already a best-seller (almost the only book in recent memory which actually deserves such status), its very likely that many readers are already familiar with it. So rather than offer a conventional review of Steyn’s new work, I’d like to offer a few thoughts on one of his basic theses: namely, that “big government” corrupts the character of a nation. I certainly agree with this thesis as far as it goes, but I don’t think it goes quite far enough, and I suspect that in the end, it prevents us from assessing our situation in a way that might allow us to make the necessary changes in our society down the road.

MARTIN SHERMAN: PERVERSE PEOPLE

http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=236372

The hysterical, hypocritical reaction to Glenn Beck helped underline the collective psychosis of Israel’s left-wing establishment.

“In this season of social awareness, this should be the real target for public anger. The detrimental, dysfunctional and largely disloyal role the Israel Left has played over the past two decades is a far more appropriate target at which public outrage should be directed. It is to this end that energies should be channeled – certainly far more than to the demand for cheaper cheese.If the hysterical, incoherent and hypocritical reaction to Glenn Beck’s visit helped underline this, he will have done the country a great service.”

TURKEY EXPELLS ISRAEL’S AMBASSADOR AND CUTS MILITARY TIES

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/02/israeli-ambassador-turkey-gaza-flotilla_n_946276.html ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey expelled Israel’s ambassador and cut military ties on Friday over Israel’s refusal to apologize for last year’s deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla, further straining a relationship that had been a cornerstone of regional stability. The dramatic move came hours before the release of a U.N. report that called […]
