DANIEL GREENFIELD: PLAYING THE PERCENTAGES

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/

After occupying the headlines for far too long, Occupy Wall Street was dispersed by a combination of inclement weather, mayoral irritation and having served their purpose. Occupy Oakland will go on doing what it can to depress the economy of an already economically depressed city by attacking its ports. The other Occupations are being moved along back to the Starbucks that spawned them.

As committed Warmists, the Occupiers might have expected that temperatures in the northeast and the midwest in November and December would feel just like a day at the beach in Santa Monica. But while the manipulated hockey stick graphs might have been on their side, the weather wasn’t. Neither were the already overstretched urban budgets turned inside out by having to pay for police overtime, electrical generators and cleanup duty. But most of all they had served their purpose as a launching pad for the Obama 2012 campaign.

JEROLD SOBEL: THERE WAS NEVER A COUNTRY CALLED “PALESTINE”….SEE NOTE PLEASE

http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/02/there_was_never_a_country_called_palestine.html

IN THE DIASPORA THE NAME “PALESTINE” WAS ALWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH JEWS. IN LOVELY NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT THERE IS A BOROUGH NAMED “PALESTINE” BECAUSE IN EARLY 1900s THAT IS WHERE THE JEWS WHO IMMIGRATED FROM NEW YORK CITY LIVED AND THE SYNAGOGUE ADATH ISRAEL STILL STANDS……RSK

Please forget one of the great fallacies of our time: Israel did not steal Palestinian land. It’s not Palestinians’ land; it’s never been their land; it will never be their land. This land was given to the Jewish people, as stated in the Bible, by the Creator, and will remain the homeland of the Jewish people in perpetuity. Despite 27 invasions of Judea and Samaria (erroneously called the West Bank), conquests by many, forced conversions, exiles, massive oppression, generations of Diaspora, and cowardly acquiescence by a cadre of 5th-column Jews themselves, Jews have not only survived in what’s known in Hebrew as Eretz Yisrael (Israel), but they’ve taken a desert wasteland and turned it into a powerful little democracy, the envy of the world.

JEROLD S. AUERBACH: LITIGATING FOR ISRAEL

http://www.americanthinker.com/printpage/?url=http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/../2012/02/litigating_for_israel.html
How an Israeli lawyer with a mission has stymied enemies of Israel.

Ever since Moses received the Ten Commandments, the history of the Jewish people has been interwoven with law. An additional 613 commandments in the Torah were explicated in the Talmud, collected in the 16th-century Code of Jewish Law (Shulchan Aruch) and interpreted and enforced over the centuries by rabbinical courts.

Since 1948 the State of Israel has had its own legal system, populated by the usual array of lawyers and judges. But until recently it lacked what has long been conspicuous in the American legal world: private defense organizations (such as the American Civil Liberties Union) litigating vital constitutional issues.
