RUTHIE BLUM: GLOBAL JIHAD ON JERUSALEM ****

http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=1655

“Let us not kid ourselves about the motive of the march. It is not about land. It is not about a two-state solution. It is not about Jerusalem.It is what all such campaigns have been since the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. It is about what Arafat spelled out when he created the PLO in 1964 (three years before the Six-Day War). It is about what he and his successors continued to assert in Arabic.It is about making the Middle East, and eventually the rest of the world, Judenrein, cleansed of Jews, which is why the Iranian regime is behind it every step of the way.”

With the backing of the mullahs in the East, the support of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement in the West, and lots of press coverage everywhere, the “Global March to Jerusalem” kicks off Friday. As soon as all the “peace-loving” Muslims in the region emerge from their mosques following Friday morning prayers, there’s going to be a big protest against the Jews.

Scheduling it to coincide with Land Day — one of many made-up modern Arab “holidays” the purpose of which is to rile up street mobs and foreign media outlets against the “Zionist entity” – is a way of giving it a veil of legitimacy (pun intended).

Declaring that Arab Christians should join their Muslim counterparts to protect their holy sites from the Jews is an attempt at diverting attention away from the ongoing persecution of Christians in Muslim societies.

BRUCE KESLER: WILL CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES CONTINUE HYPOCRISY?

Will California Public Universities Continue Hypocrisy?
Last December, my article at City Journal, Cal State’s Chutzpah: A hypocritical university goes silent while a math professor spouts anti-Israeli politics, raised attention to the illegal abuse of college websites by some professors, allowed to continue by administrators. Here’s another case, at UCLA. Private companies don’t allow this, so why should taxpayers be forced to fund this? At the bottom of the open letter below I’ve included the email addresses. You might copy-and-paste them and add your two-cents. Thank you.

FRANK SALVATO: REAPING THE REWARDS OF A “PROGRESSIVE” AMERICA

http://newmediajournal.us/indx.php/item/5070 As the nation directs its attention to the events taking place at the United States Supreme Court, specifically, the oral arguments surrounding the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, now may be a good time to evaluate some of the “progress” we have made, both as a country and as a […]

Theodore Roosevelt on the Early 20th Century Egyptian “Arab Spring”
Theodore Roosevelt penned the remarkably prescient words, below, in a 1911 letter to his long-time correspondent and friend, Sir George Otto Trevelyan, reflecting upon Roosevelt’s post-Presidency visit to Cairo and Khartoum, the previous year. Roosevelt’s concerns about the recrudescence of “old-style Moslem rule,” i.e., a Sharia not re-shaped or constrained by Western law, may now be fully realized a century later following the removal of Egyptian President Mubarak, and the electoral ascendancy of vox populi, mainstream Egyptian Islamic parties.

ACTION ALERT FROM NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON JEWISH AFFAIRS….PLEASE READ

http://ncjausa.org/
JOIN FRIENDS OF ISRAEL TO CONDEMN STATE DEPARTMENT REFUSAL TO

RECOGNIZE JERUSALEM AS CAPITAL OF ISRAEL

ON THE EVE OF THE GLOBAL MARCH TO JERUSALEM BY ANTI-ISRAEL
ACTIVISTS AND TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS, THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON JEWISH
AFFAIRS PUBLISHES POLITICO AD CALLING ON OBAMA AND CONGRESS TO
REAFFIRM JERUSALEM AS UNDIVIDED CAPITAL OF THE JEWISH STATE

AT ISSUE:

The National Conference on Jewish Affairs is appalled that the United
States Department of State has adamantly refused to recognize that
Jerusalem – any part of Jerusalem – is the capital of Israel, the
Jewish State.

With the possibility of a substantial turnout for tomorrow’s Global
March to Jerusalem

the State Department’s latest assertion is particularly troubling, and
underscores what many Jews and friends of Israel have feared: that
there may indeed have been a major shift in U.S. policy away from
Israel under the Obama Administration.

OBAMA TO ISRAEL: I HAVE YOUR BAKU!!

BOLTON BLAMES OBAMA FOR LEAKING ISRAELI-AZERBAIJAN DEAL: PATRICK BRENNAN

According to a new article in Foreign Policy, Israel has, through a longtime but recently deepened relationship with Azerbaijan, gained access to airfields in a country bordering Iran, which it could use to make more feasible its attack on Iran. FP reports:

In 2009, the deputy chief of mission of the U.S. embassy in Baku, Donald Lu, sent a cable to the State Department’s headquarters in Foggy Bottom titled “Azerbaijan’s discreet symbiosis with Israel.” The memo, later released by WikiLeaks, quotes Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev as describing his country’s relationship with the Jewish state as an iceberg: “nine-tenths of it is below the surface.”

Why does it matter? Because Azerbaijan is strategically located on Iran’s northern border and, according to several high-level sources I’ve spoken with inside the U.S. government, Obama administration officials now believe that the “submerged” aspect of the Israeli-Azerbaijani alliance — the security cooperation between the two countries — is heightening the risks of an Israeli strike on Iran. . . . “The Israelis have bought an airfield,” a senior administration official told me in early February, “and the airfield is called Azerbaijan.”

WES PRUDEN: FIGURING THE ODDS ON OBAMACARE

http://www.prudenpolitics.com/index.php/pruden/full_column/figuring_the_odds_on_obamacare

Guessing how the Supreme Court will decide a case, based on the questions the justices ask of the lawyers, is a fool’s game. That’s why pundits can’t resist playing it.

Rarely has a case before the court attracted so much attention as this week’s arguments about Barack Obama’s health-care scheme. Everybody is studying transcripts and accounts of which judge wiggled his eyebrows at whose lawyers, looking for hints, allusions, implications and insinuations, like Las Vegas oddsmakers searching for inside dope from the training camps on the eve of the Super Bowl.
