THE JEWISH STATE AND SELF RESPECT****BRANDON MARLON….SEE NOTE PLEASE

http://www.algemeiner.com/2013/08/01/self-respect-the-unrealized-vision-for-the-jewish-state/

WHY DOES THE AUTHOR NOT MENTION VLADIMIR ZEEV JABOTINSKY, WHO, BETTER THAN ALL THE ZIONIST FOUNDING FATHERS EXEMPLIFIED THE ZIONIST DREAMS AND GOALS/ OTHERWISE THIS IS A FINE COLUMN…..RSK

In the nineteenth century, Theodor Herzl and other political Zionists shared a vision for a Jewish state that would allow the Jewish People to regain their self-respect after almost two millennia of national homelessness. Would Zionists like Alkalai, Kalischer, Mohilever, Hess, Pinsker, Pines, Nordau, Reines, Bar-Ilan, Ahad Ha’am, and Bialik see in modern Israel the dignity they craved for their people? After 65 years of Jewish political independence, unfortunately, it remains rather doubtful.

What, then, would a self-respecting Jewish state look like?

To be sure, it would not look like a nation that does not exert sovereignty over its heartland; that during wartime engages in repetitive rounds of combat instead of decisive victories; that releases busloads of bloodstained murderers for a single soldier or as a “gesture” of peace; or that engages in negotiations of any kind at any time with wolves in wolves’ clothing, envoys of a culture of hatred.

Leo Pinsker wanted Jews to “rise manfully to our full height.” And, indeed, for the most part the individual Jew no longer needs to stoop like a weary ghost wandering between shtetls and ghettos, or plead like a beggar on his knees. But is the State of Israel not routinely stooping before its international adversaries, not perennially begging for foreign aid, UN votes, and recognition of its rightful capital from its apparent allies?

DANIEL GREENFIELD: FIVE LESSONS FROM THE ARAB SPRING

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/five-lessons-from-egypt-and-the-arab-spring/ 1. Don’t Believe Anything You Hear Egyptian liberals allied with the Muslim Brotherhood to overthrow Mubarak and challenge the military. In those heady Tahrir Square days, they ridiculed the idea that Mubarak’s overthrow would benefit the Muslim Brotherhood. Now those same liberals have teamed up with the military to take down a Muslim Brotherhood […]

AN AMERICAN HERO: MAJOR WILLIAM P. COLLIER BY W. THOMAS SMITH

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/an-heroic-stand-against-overwhelming-odds Maj. William P. “Bill” Collier’s 54-hour pitched battle against massed wave-attacks from a determined, numerically superior enemy force may yet to have inspired a book or screenplay (“yet” mind you). But a growing number of military officers, various veterans’ organizations, congressmen, senators, and at least one South Carolina governor believe the Columbia, S.C. man’s […]

ANDREW HARROD: RECENT NIGERIAN LEGISLATION RAISES THE SPECTER OF ISLAMIC CHILD MARRIAGE

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/suffer-the-little-children-recent-nigerian-legislation-raises-the-specter-of-child-marriage?f=puball

Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), discussed the threat of Islamic child marriage facing Nigeria during two successive Washington, DC, briefings on July 25, 2013. Stating that banishing this danger will require a “huge outcry” from women’s groups and others, Oritsejafor declared, “We need strong voices from this nation.”

Representing a claimed 80 million Nigerian Christians, Oritsejafor spoke along with his associates at the Rayburn House Office Building and the National Press Club (NPC). At issue is a Nigerian constitutional amendment setting the age of consent for citizenship renunciation at 18, but simultaneously stating that any married female shall be considered of age. Efforts in the Nigerian senate to eliminate the latter provision seemingly sanctioning child marriage failed due to the opposition of Senator Ahmed Yerima.

Thus Oritsejafor speculated that this law could give support to marrying even three-year olds, something that has caused intense controversy in Nigeria. In addition to protests around the nation, activists have been tweeting and hash tagging #ChildNotBride. An online petition against the amendment’s marriage provision has already garnered over 28,000 signatures.

A former governor of Zamfara state in Nigeria’s Muslim-majority north instrumental in introducing sharia law into nine northern Nigerian states in 2000-2001, Yerima called opposition to the marriage provision un-Islamic. Yerima is infamous in Nigeria for his 2010 marriage to the 14-year old daughter of his Egyptian driver, whom Yerima paid $100,000. In order to comply with Islam’s limit of four wives for one husband, the then 49-year old Yerima at the time divorced his 17-old wife, married when she was 15.
