Feb. 27, 2009: EDITORIAL: OBAMA LIED TO JEWS DURING HIS CAMPAIGN!
HE IS SUPPORTING HAMAS IN GAZA AND APPOINTING ANTI-SEMITES!
President Obama is recommending one appointment with a strong anti-Israel bias – Chas Freeman’s appointment to
chair the National Intelligence Council. Read the article below. Click on the links to verify the information. In particular, read Chas Freeman’s conference remarks at http://www.mepc.org/whats/conf.remarks.pdf about Israeli “occupation,” “oppression,” and “colonialization.”
At the bottom of this post are instructions for taking action, asking President Obama to withdraw this nomination. Whether Republican or Democrat, we all support Israel and don’t want this kind of bias to be given credibility or form the basis for important executive decisions.
Here is a sample letter:
Mr. President, I am writing to express my outrage at the appointment of Chas Freeman to the job of National Intelligence Council chairman. You campaigned on a Pro-Israel platform, and now you are reversing course by appointing a person with a demonstrated strong anti-Israel bias!
HOW DARE YOU LIE AND BACKSTAB THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED AND BELIEVED IN YOU!
Millions of Israel supporters are ANGERED and ENRAGED at this appointment and you will be hearing from us!
We demand the IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL of the appointment of Chas Freeman!!!
Israel is in grave danger with threats from Hizbollah, Hamas, and Iran, and our country CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE OUR ONLY MIDDLE EAST ALLY!
Please LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE and SHOW YOUR STRENGTH OF CHARACTER by reversing this appointment.

RJC opposes naming Chas Freeman to chair National Intelligence Council, calls on President to withdraw his appointment
Washington, D.C. (February 26, 2009) -- The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) today voiced concern over reports that President Obama will soon publicly name Charles "Chas" W. Freeman to head the National Intelligence Council (NIC). It has been reported by Politico.com that Freeman has been offered the job though no public announcement has been made. (1)
RJC Executive Director Matthew Brooks said: "We are very troubled by reports that President Obama plans to appoint Chas W. Freeman to be NIC chairman. Freeman's past writing and statements with regard to the Middle East cast serious doubt on his fitness for such an important and sensitive position. He apparently holds the view that Israel is the source or cause of all the suffering, terrorism, and instability in the region and that a so-called 'Israel Lobby' induces American governments to adopt policies not in keeping with American interests."
Brooks continued, "The NIC is the source of the National Intelligence Estimates and the long-term strategic analysis of the U.S. intelligence community. The nature of intelligence analysis, which can be devastatingly misdirected by any bias, requires the president to choose NIC staff with the greatest sensitivity and impartiality possible. Chas Freeman falls far from meeting this standard.
"Freeman's statements about Israel, about the nature of the U.S.-Israel relationship, and about the totalitarian regimes in Saudi Arabia and China call into serious question his judgment and character. We call on President Obama not to move forward with the appointment of Chas Freeman."
Background:
Freeman, who served as U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1989 to 1992, is president of the Middle East Policy Council (MEPC). His statements and writings, as well as the work of the MEPC, are strongly critical of Israel and the U.S.-Israel alliance. He regards Israel as a colonial power, whose "occupation" of Arab land "is inherently violence." (2) He blamed terrorist attacks in Britain, Thailand, India and other countries on "the continuing injustices and crimes against humanity in the Holy Land." (3)
As president of MEPC, which publishes the Middle East Policy journal (MEP), Freeman boasted about MEP's publication of the Mearsheimer and Walt article "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy," telling an interviewer from the Saudi-US Relations Information Service that "No one else in the United States has dared to publish this article, given the political penalties that the Lobby imposes on those who criticize it. So we continue to do important things that are not done by anybody else, which I think fill some gaps." (4)
MEPC became the center of some controversy when it was named in a Jewish Telegraphic Agency report in 2005 detailing Saudi-funded educational materials that teach an anti-Israel perspective of the Middle East. (5) MEPC co-produced a curriculum, entitled "Arab World Notebook," which an American Jewish Committee report described as "a text that appears largely designed to advance the anti-Israel and propagandistic views of the Notebook's sponsors, the Middle East Policy Council (MEPC) and Arab World and Islamic Resources (AWAIR), to an audience of teachers who may not have the resources and knowledge to assess this text critically." (6)
As Gabriel Schoenfeld pointed out today in the Wall Street Journal, Freeman has also spoken about other countries in ways that run counter to American interests:
On the massacre at Tiananmen Square in 1989, Mr. Freeman unabashedly sides with the Chinese government, a remarkable position for an appointee of an administration that has pledged to advance the cause of human rights. Mr. Freeman has been a participant in ChinaSec, a confidential Internet discussion group of China specialists. A copy of one of his postings was provided to me by a former member. "The truly unforgivable mistake of the Chinese authorities," he wrote there in 2006, "was the failure to intervene on a timely basis to nip the demonstrations in the bud." Moreover, "the Politburo's response to the mob scene at 'Tiananmen' stands as a monument to overly cautious behavior on the part of the leadership, not as an example of rash action." Indeed, continued Mr. Freeman, "I do not believe it is acceptable for any country to allow the heart of its national capital to be occupied by dissidents intent on disrupting the normal functions of government, however appealing to foreigners their propaganda may be." (7)
And the Jewish Telegraphic Agency noted this Freeman remark about Saudi Arabia, which provides significant funding to MEPC:
Participating in a 2002 panel for the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Freeman said that "in the case of Saudi Arabia, reform has always come from the top down. It has been the ruling family that has sought to liberalize society and to open it up."
Saudi exiles over the years who have sought democratization might disagree. They have fled in fear for their lives and continue to be harassed in their new homelands. (8)

Obama: Direct negotiations with Iran within months. Moscow to complete Iranian reactor in three months
DEBKAfile Special Report, February 10, 2009, 8:44 PM (GMT+02:00)
"In the coming months, we will be looking for openings… to start sitting across the table face to face" with Iran, said US president Barack Obama at a press conference early Tuesday, Feb. 10. He pledged all US tools in dealing with Iran - and that "includes diplomacy." Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad welcomed talks based on mutual respect but said changes in Washington must be "fundamental not just tactical."
Moscow pledged to complete Iran's Bushehr reactor on schedule - in first half of this year.

Syria poised to transfer Iranian mobile anti-air missiles to Lebanese Hizballah
From DEBKA-Net-Weekly 383, February 11, 2009, 5:09 PM (GMT+02:00)
Israel's government changeover catches its armed forces on a high war alert on two fronts – its southern border with the Gaza Strip and its northern borders with Lebanon and Syria, DEBKA-Net-Weekly reported Feb. 6. Iran is deeply involved in both. The northern borders may be the more flammable, our military sources report, after Israel warned Damascus, through US, Egyptian and Turkish channels, that its delivery of scores of mobile anti-air missile systems to Hizballah in Lebanon would cross a red line.
Their possession would make Hizballah the first terrorist group in the world to be armed with an independent air defense weapon system.
In Hizballah's hands, this air defense system would seriously endanger Israeli air movements over Galilee and the Mediterranean, impede US Sixth Fleet flights and endow the Lebanese Shiite group with total military superiority over the Lebanese army and the UNIFIL peacekeepers in the south.
According to DEBKA-Net-Weekly's military sources, scores of missile carriers painted in Hizballah's colors stand ready at four Syrian military depots ready to cross the Lebanese border. In the last six months, hundreds of operatives trained in their operation in Iran and Syria. Iranian and Syrian missile officers have picked Lebanese sites for their deployment. Hizballah has placed them off-limits to civilians.
The highly-mobile, low-altitude, single-stage surface-to-air missile has a radar system that can detect, track and engage aircraft independently, picking up targets at 30 km and begin tracking them at 20-25 km.
Two separate missile guidance radars are used (with offset frequencies to reduce the effectiveness of Electronic Counter Measures (ECM), so that if one is jammed or shut down, the new missiles can track targets optically. It is armed with a 19-kilo fragmentation warhead with contact and proximity detonation capability.
A battery consists of two launch vehicles, each armed with 6 missiles and two transload vehicles with 18 missile reloads. The lethal radius at low altitude is 5 meters.
It is highly mobile, fully amphibious, air transportable and can be relocated to a new site within four minutes from system shutdown.
The integration of the newbatteries with the C-802 shore-to-ship missiles (of which Hizballah has taken delivery of more than 1,000), when deployed along the Lebanese Mediterranean coast would sharply inhibit the movements of the US Sixth Fleet.

EDITORIAL: Israeli Elections - they do matter to us!
If Livni gets in Israel will become part of Obama's New World Order and will have to sing Kumbaya with the terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon while being bombarded with Kutyushas and Kassams. Netanyahu also went to Harvard, lived right here and went to Cheltenham High School. He can out Obama the Obomb and will not cave. Someone in this crazy world has to yell stop the nonsense and it may be tiny Israel. Please read Steven's always accurate comentary!
From Dr. Steven Plaut, Haifa University
The Israeli Election
Well, the almost-final election results are in, could still change at margin as last votes of soldiers and diplomats get counted.
Some preliminary comments:
1. The election is on the surface a tie between Likud and Kadima, with Kadima ahead by one seat in the parliament. Kadima have been loudly proclaiming this a victory, although it does not even merit being named a Pyrrhic one. More than three quarters of Israelis voted against the incumbent Kadima party. More importantly, it looks all but certain that it will be Likud that heads the new coalition government, not Kadima. It is not impossible that Likud and Kadima will form a coalition but I think it unlikely.
Livni and Kadima were the big winners of the military campaign in Gaza against the Hamas. They also benefited from the manipulative leak of the news, not necessarily factual, at the last minute before the vote, that a deal had been reached to get Gilad Shalit released from captivity. In addition, Kadima's worst handicaps, the corruption scandals involving Olmert and Hirschenson, were moot for Kadima, as the two crooks were not on the slate.
2. The Israeli Left collapsed to the worst performance in Israeli history. Meretz, which had 12 Knesset seats in 1992, won three seats out of the total of 120 parliamentary seats, less than the communist party. Zehava Galon, an crude obnoxious male-hating Hamas-appeasing far-leftist who had long been in the Knesset, lost her seat and will not be in the new Knesset. That alone is enough reason for some celebration. Part of the reason for the Meretz demise may be the fact that Haaretz called for people to vote AGAINST them. Since Meretz is still nominally Zionist Left, Haaretz opposes them and pretty clearly called upon voters to support the HADASH communist party. Meretz had 5 seats in the previous parliament so lost 40% of its parliamentary representation.
3. The Labor Party under Barak also reached its historic low with 13 seats, despite the fact that Barak was widely considered to have performed well in the "Cast Lead" attack on the Hamas savages. Labor had actually been polling even lower. Bear in mind that this is the same Labor Party, built on an original coalition of 4 different "labor" social democratic parties, which had a monopoly on power in Israel from 1948 until 1977; and once its component parts got more than two thirds of Israeli votes.
4. The "Right" performed poorly, largely because of petty bickering and also partly because Rightwing votes went to the Likud. The National Unity party had merged with the National Religious Party to create the "Jewish Home" party. But no sooner were they merged that the bickering began and half their leaders then split and re-named themselves National Unity, like the previous defunct party, maximizing confusion. The two chunks together won 7 seats (4 for NU and 3 for JH), which was less than what they held together in the previous parliament, down from 9 in the previous election.
5. The HADASH Arab Stalinist party got 4 seats. It had three in the previous parliament but 4 in the one before that. It had been expected to do better this round thanks to one of its Jewish commies running well in the contest for the Tel Aviv mayor election, getting a third of the vote there, and also because Haaretz essentially endorsed it. I doubt that more than 2% of its votes came from Jews. The three Arab fascist pro-terrorism parties together took 12 seats, up from the previous Knesset, thanks largely to the idiots at the Supreme Court overturning the banning of two of the three parties for being treasonous pro-jihad organizations. The Arab fascists were less divided than they were in the previous election and altogether increased there strength. While Labor's Ehud Barak might have recruited some for a coalition led by him, there is zero chance either Livni or Netanyahu would. Haaretz trumpeted that the "camp of the Left" did almost as well as the "camp of the Right," but that is because they count Kadima and the three Arab parties in the former. Obviously the Arab parties are irrelevant in coalition building.
6. Lieberman actually did somewhat less well than the polls had predicted. 15 seats where polls were predicting up to 20. This makes him the new coalition kingmaker and linchpin. He is a bit unpredictable but almost certain to go with Likud.
7. The religious parties did about as expected . 18 seats not counting National Unity. They are more likely to go with a Likud coalition than a Kadima one.
8. Interesting who did not get in at all. The Pensioners Party which had 7 seats at the peak of its power, did not get into the Knesset at all. Neither did the pro-pot "Green Leaf" party, a perpetual electoral nuisance, or about 15 other loopy and dopey parties. Efrain Sneh, one-time Labor Party honcho, ran in his own party and did terribly.
9. The Tel Aviv stock market does not like the results of the election. It is down between 2 and 3%, on the same day that it is announced that the gas field found near Haifa has $20 billion dollars worth of gas (and so stock market SHOULD be way up!).
10. While the Israeli of the street has moved well to the Right, it was the center (kadima + likud) that came out of the elections strong.

Kadima's lead over Likud shrinks to one place, spelling unstable government
DEBKAfile Special Report,
February 11, 2009, 1:08 PM (GMT+02:00)
Nearly 100 percent of counted votes from Israel's general election Tuesday, Feb. 10, awards Tzipi Livni's Kadima 28 Knesset seats (out of 120) – only one place ahead of the 27 polled by Binyamin Netanyahu's Likud. He heads a right-of-center bloc of 64 seats to the 56 polled by the center and left. This means Livni cannot form a government without Likud and defense minister Ehud Barak's Labor (13), unless her scant win is solidified by the still uncounted military votes.
Avigdor Lieberman's right-wing Israel Beitenu came in third with 15, pushing Labor, the state's founding party, down to fourth place. The ultra-religious Shas polled 11 seats, Torah Judaism 5 and New Left Meretz crashed to 3 on a par with Bayit Yehudi, National Union.
The military vote is expected to boost the right-wing Israel Beitenu and Likud. While the former has made a spectacular showing, neither Kadima nor Likud has garnered enough of the vote to promise Israel stable government for a full four-year term with parliamentary support for new policies.
The Arab Israeli parties Raam-Taal polled 5 seats, Hadash (communists) 4 and Balad three.
Livni has invited Likud to join a broad national unity government, while Netanyahu is bidding for a narrow, right-wing government and trying to co-opt Labor and Kadima later.
Lieberman, who holds the balance, says his party will decide which way to go in the coming days. He favors a right-wing national government but rules out a partnership with Shas whose leader vilified his party.
If Livni, 50, does manage to horse-trade her way to forming a coalition government, she will be Israel's second woman prime minister after Golda Meir.
Foreign minister in the outgoing administration, a lawyer, former justice minister and Mossad staffer, Livni is untested in the two dominant popular concerns, security and the failing economy. An advocate of peace talks, she is generally considered a naïve negotiator and over-influenced by foreign colleagues and international opinion. Her campaign was a highly personal one, which kept her unimpressive list of candidates well in the wings.
Lieberman's Israel Beitenu cut deep into Netanyahu's right-of-center Likud and the religious parties, in the same way as Livni's relatively new Kadima sliced chunks off the traditional constituencies of defense minister Ehud Barak's Labor and the left-wing Meretz.
Netanyahu, 59, lost his early margin as frontrunner by miscalculating the strength of his rivals. Unlike Livni, he refrained from throwing himself into the rough and tumble with the grass-roots voter and relied on the Internet to carry his message. The deal he cut early on with the unpopular Barak boomeranged against Likud.
Netanyahu and Barak are both former prime ministers. Netanyahu known as Bibi, campaigned on a clear ticket: No nuclear arms for Iran, no repartition of Jerusalem, no concession of the Golan and an end to Hamas rule of Gaza.
His term as prime minister from 1996 to 1999 ended with his defeat by Labor Party leader Ehud Barak, a former chief of staff and foreign minister.
As finance minister from 2001-2005 under Ariel Sharon, Netanyahu is credited with turning around the economy, blighted by the Palestinian uprising, and fostering years of dramatic growth.
Lieberman, 50, who was born in Moldova, founded his party with the support of former Russian immigrants but also won strong backing in this campaign from young soldiers across the board with his strong security message and slogan: "Lieberman understands Arabic!" One condition for his joining a government is a commitment to end Hamas rule of the Gaza Strip once and for all and zero tolerance for terrorists.

Jan. 29, 2009: NETANYAHU: IRAN NUKES TRUMP GLOBAL ECONOMY
By JOHN DANISZEWSKI (Associated Press Writer)
Associated Press
DAVOS, Switzerland - Israeli election front-runner Benjamin Netanyahu told a session of the World Economic Forum on Thursday that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons ranks far above the global economy among the challenges facing leaders of the 21st century.
Discussing leadership in crisis on a panel that also included British Conservative leader David Cameron, the hawkish Israeli Likud Party leader discussed the need for Israel to lower taxes and increase competitiveness if he emerges as prime minister after Feb. 10 elections.
Netanyahu, a former finance minister, said he believes the global financial meltdown is reversible if governments, businesses and people make the right decisions.
"What is not reversible is the acquisition of nuclear weapons by a fanatic radical regime ... We have never had, since the dawn of the nuclear age, nuclear weapons in the hands of such a fanatical regime," he claimed.
Iran has denied it is seeking to acquire nuclear weapons and says it is pursuing nuclear power for peaceful uses. It also denies it is engaged in terrorism, instead accusing Israel of terrorist policies against the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, which were occupied by Israel after the 1967 Mideast War.
Asked about achieving peace in Gaza, Netanyahu swiftly turned his answer to Iran, which he said is in a "100-yard dash" to get nuclear weapons.
While he did not specify any planned military action, Netanyahu said that, if the Iranian rulers were "neutralized," the danger posed to Israel and others by Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah militants in south Lebanon would be reduced.
"We have had two wars with two Iranian proxies in two years and Persia has now two bases on the eastern Mediterranean," said Netanyahu, referring to this month's brutal fighting in Gaza against Hamas and Israel's 2006 war with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
"I think we are going to have to deal with neutralizing the power of the mother regime," he said. "The Hamas stronghold would be about as important, if Iranian power was neutralized, as Cuba was when the Soviet Union became irrelevant."
As prime minister, he said, he would "move rapidly to advance a workable peace" with moderates in the Palestinian Authority and work to "drive down the radicals."
"But all of this will fall by the wayside if the world fails to stop Iran from arming itself with nuclear weapons. It was and remains the greatest challenge facing the leaders of the 21st century at the beginning of the 21st century," he said.
Netanyahu said he saw no chance of peace with Hamas. "You know, what agenda can you have against an organization who seeks to obliterate you off the face of this earth," he said.
The comments come amid a heated election race in Israel that could bring about a Likud government pledged to strongly oppose Hamas and Hezbollah and allow existing settlements in the West Bank to expand - one of the main sources of anger between Arabs and Israelis.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama's new Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, is visiting Israel this week. He met with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who, according to the Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot, told the envoy that Israel would be willing to evacuate some 60,000 settlers in the West Bank and hand over much of east Jerusalem as part of as part of any permanent peace arrangement between Israel and the Palestinians.
But that policy would be in doubt if Likud wins. The latest election polls show Likud leading Olmert's centrist Kadima party and its candidate for prime minister, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, by about five seats in the 120-seat parliament. Olmert, who is facing corruption allegations, is stepping down.
The polls show Likud and other hawkish parties winning a majority in the parliament, giving Netanyahu the best chance to form a government.

Hamas urges Obama to correct 'mistakes' of predecessor
GAZA CITY (AFP) — Hamas premier Ismail Haniya urged US President Barack Obama to correct the "mistakes" of his predecessor George W. Bush, the Islamists said on Wednesday as the new US Middle East envoy arrived in Israel.
"Given that you are a man who incarnates victory after a long struggle, we hope that you will rectify the errors of the previous administration," Haniya wrote in a letter.
"Today we join you in the march toward change, change that will bring justice for all," he said.
"Palestine is the door to the Muslim world," Haniya wrote, in an apparent reference to Obama's comments reaching out to the Muslim world following his inauguration.
"Justice and freedom for Palestinians is the key that will open this door."
The text of the letter was posted on a Hamas website, which did not say how the message, which also congratulated Obama on his inauguration, was sent to the US president.
Washington considers Hamas a terrorist organisation.

Obama's appeasement talk stirs Iran's Hitler: Ahmadinejad Demands Apology for U.S. 'Crimes'
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for "profound changes" in U.S. foreign policy on Wednesday, including giving up support for Israel, during an address to thousands of people in the western city of Kermanshah.
President Obama on Tuesday, in an interview with Arabic television, called for more dialogue with Iran to express difference and see "where there are potential avenues for progress."
Without mentioning President Barack Obama by name, Ahmadinejad Wednesday repeatedly referred to those who want to bring "change," a word used often in Obama's election campaign, and indicated that Iran would be looking to see if there would be substantive differences in U.S. policy.
"We welcome change but on condition that change is fundamental and on the right track," Ahmadinejad said. "When they say 'we want to make changes', change can happen in two ways. First is a fundamental and effective change... The second ... is a change of tactics."
Ahmadinejad also demanded the U.S. apologize for 'crimes' committed against Iran; specifically, criticizing and trying to block their nuclear program.
"Those who say they want to make change, this is the change they should make: they should apologize to the Iranian nation and try to make up for their dark background and the crimes they have committed against the Iranian nation," Ahmadinejad said.
Later Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told reporters that the U.S. administration is undertaking a wide-ranging and comprehensive survey of U.S. foreign policy options toward Iran.
Clinton also said Iran had a "clear opportunity" to demonstrate some willingness to engage meaningfully with the international community.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Mehdi Safari, speaking in Athens, Greece, said Tuesday that it was too early to say whether relations with the United States would improve with Obama as president.
Washington is at odds with Tehran over Iran's nuclear program and its Mideast policy that seeks to destroy Israel and supports the militant groups Hezbollah and Hamas.
"Who has asked them (the United States) to come and interfere in the affairs of nations?" Ahmadinejad said.

Leon Panetta, who was chief of staff under former President Bill Clinton, is Barack Obama's pick to head the CIA
Taken by surprise was Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., incoming chairwoman of the Select Senate Intelligence Committee.
"I was not informed about the selection of Leon Panetta to be the CIA director. I know nothing about this, other than what I've read. My position has consistently been that I believe the agency is best-served by having an intelligence professional in charge at this time," Feinstein said in a written statement. A spokesman said Feinstein had not received a phone call about Panetta from anyone in the Obama camp and first learned about the decision from news reports.
Senior Democratic sources told FOX News Feinstein had put forward the name of Steven Kappes, a career officer at the CIA.

Dec. 27, 2008: EDITORIAL: Will the real Barack Obama please stand up?
Now is the time to keep a close eye on Barry's statements and actions to see how he deals with a real crisis.
From Yahoo News: White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said Saturday that President-elect Barack Obama, who is vacationing in Hawaii, will receive a security briefing later in the day on the escalation in hostilities between Israel and Hamas.
Israeli warplanes, retaliating for rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, pounded dozens of security compounds across the territory in unprecedented waves of airstrikes Saturday, killing more than 200 people.
Dec. 17, 2008: In an article for Haaretz, Aluf Benn writes of a nuclear umbrella being offered to Israel and other Middle East countries:
“U.S. President-elect Barack Obama's administration will offer Israel a 'nuclear umbrella' against the threat of a nuclear attack by Iran, a well-placed American source said earlier this week. The source, who is close to the new administration, said the U.S. will declare that an attack on Israel by Tehran would result in a devastating U.S. nuclear response against Iran.
“But America's nuclear guarantee to Israel could also be interpreted as a sign the U.S. believes Iran will eventually acquire nuclear arms. Secretary of state-designate Hillary Clinton had raised the idea of a nuclear guarantee to Israel during her campaign for the Democratic Party's nomination for the presidency. During a debate with Obama in April, Clinton said that Israel and Arab countries must be given 'deterrent backing.' She added, 'Iran must know that an attack on Israel will draw a massive response.'
“Clinton also proposed that the American nuclear umbrella be extended to other countries in the region, like Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States, if they agree to relinquish their own nuclear ambitions.
“According to the same source, the nuclear guarantee would be backed by a new and improved Israeli anti-ballistic missile system. The Bush administration took the first step by deploying an early-warning radar system in the Negev, which hones the ability to detect Iranian ballistic missiles.
“Obama said this week that he would negotiate with Iran and would offer economic incentives for Tehran to relinquish its nuclear program. He warned that if Iran refused the deal, he would act to intensify sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
“Granting Israel a nuclear guarantee essentially suggests the U.S. is willing to come to terms with a nuclear Iran. For its part, Israel opposes any such development and similar opposition was voiced by officials in the outgoing Bush administration.
“'What is the significance of such guarantee when it comes from those who hesitated to deal with a non-nuclear Iran?' asked a senior Israeli security source. 'What kind of credibility would this [guarantee have] when Iran is nuclear-capable?'
“The same source noted that the fact that there is talk about the possibility of a nuclear Iran undermines efforts to prevent Tehran from acquiring such arms.
“A senior Bush administration source said that the proposal for an American nuclear umbrella for Israel was ridiculous and lacked credibility. 'Who will convince the citizen in Kansas that the U.S. needs to get mixed up in a nuclear war because Haifa was bombed? And what is the point of an American response, after Israel's cities are destroyed in an Iranian nuclear strike?'
“The current debate is taking place in light of the Military Intelligence assessment that Iran has passed beyond the point of no return, and has mastered the technology of uranium enrichment. The decision to proceed toward the development of nuclear arms is now purely a matter for Iran's leaders to decide. Intelligence assessments, however, suggest that the Iranians are trying to first accumulate larger quantities of fissile material, and this offers a window of opportunity for a last-ditch diplomatic effort to prevent an Iranian bomb.” (Aluf Benn, Haaretz)
Dec. 10, 2008: Jimmy Carter trying to help Obama
Jimmy Carter will be in Beirut Tuesday meeting with the terrorist organizations Hezbollah and Hamas. The trip is sponsored by the Carter Center which receives huge funding from Arab States that support terror and refuse to recognize Israel’s right to exist. Carter considers Israel to be an apartheid state and believes Israel should give most of its land to Palestinian terror groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas. Mr. Carters refers to these groups as “freedom fighters.”
Carter has written a new book on the Middle East, We Can Bring Peace to the Holy Land, which will be released in January following the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama. His last book on the subject was the controversial Palestine: Peace not Apartheid.

Please remember little Moshe Holtzberg, who turns 2 tonight without his parents, Rabbi Gabi & Rivka Holtzberg. Remember the grandparents who had to bury their children today. Remember the still unnamed other victims of the attack (reportedly 2 mashgichim and a yeshiva student). Give thanks for the brave nanny who risked her life to escape with the crying toddler. And remember the rest of the 160 victims of this horror. Give tzedakah in their memory.

Editorial: The terrorism in India is linked to the threats of attacks on NY Penn Station. Obama's statement has no teeth. Bush is busy pardoning turkeys. We now know that Hizbollah accompanied the 9/11 terrorists to get them through Iran.

The Largest Heist in America's History, Only It's Legal
by Ed Koch, former mayor of New York City.
Nov. 21, 2008
From an email by: Dr. Michael D. Evans, founder, Jerusalem Prayer Team
Tragically, I have learned from a high-level diplomat in Jerusalem that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and President George W. Bush will attempt to succeed at what President Bill Clinton failed during his last days in office: the division of Jerusalem
The U.S. plan offered by Clinton would have given the Palestinians 97 percent of the West Bank (either 96 percent of the West Bank and 1 percent from Israel proper or 94 percent from the West Bank and 3 percent from Israel proper), and full control of the Gaza Strip, with a land-link between the two; Israel would have withdrawn from 63 settlements as a result. In exchange for the three percent annexation of the West Bank, Israel would increase the size of the Gaza territory by roughly a third. Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem would become the capital of the new state, and refugees would have the right of return to the Palestinian state, and would receive reparations from a $30 billion international fund collected to compensate them. The Palestinians would maintain control over their holy places.

Soros-Funded Democratic Idea Factory Becomes Obama Policy Front
Thanks in part to funding from benefactors such as billionaire George Soros, the Center for American Progress has become in just five years an intellectual wellspring for Democratic policy proposals, including many that are shaping the agenda of the new Obama administration. CAP has been an incubator for liberal thought and helped build the platform that triumphed in the 2008 campaign. CAP's president and founder, John Podesta, 59, former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, is one of three people running the transition team for president-elect Barack Obama, 47. A squadron of CAP experts is working with them. Some of the group's recommendations already have been adopted by the president-elect.

Obama Wants Israel Back to 1967 Borders
- Source: Newsmax.com
Barack Obama is about to wade into the Mideast peace process in a major way. He is going to push a plan that will have Israel revert to its 1967 borders in exchange for recognition by Arab nations. But such a plan will cede the high ground to Israel’s enemies, giving them a strategic vantage point over the nation’s cities.
President-elect Barack Obama intends to pursue a Mideast peace policy that calls on Israel to revert to its pre-1967 borders in return for official diplomatic recognition by the Arab world. A senior Obama adviser told the London Times that Obama will throw his support behind a 2002 Saudi peace initiative that also has been endorsed by Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, the Arab League, and Israeli President Shimon Peres. Under the plan:
Israel would be able to veto the return of Arab refugees expelled in 1948.
Israel would restore the Golan Heights to Syria.
Palestinians would be allowed to establish a state capital in east Jerusalem.
According to the senior adviser, Obama has said privately that Israel would be "crazy" to reject such a plan, since it would "give them peace with the Muslim world."
Editorial: The Obama administration has endangered Israel and we knew this would happen.1967 borders are suicide borders today. With the advanced systems there is so little strategic depth now.

Obama to push his radical agenda on Day One
From an email by Steve Elliott, President, Grassfire.org
News has leaked that Barack Obama has been working for 'months'
with four-dozen advisors on a plan to implement his leftist agenda
starting on Day One.
We now know that Obama will sign Executive Orders
almost immediately to shut down oil and gas exploration,
push radical global warming policies and force taxpayers to
fund abortions.
This means that Obama will launch his radical agenda on DAY ONE
of his presidency!
Grassfire.org is organizing a nationwide campaign
to ban together and RESIST President-elect Obama's radical agenda.
We cannot wait until next year. Obama's team has already been working
for MONTHS on its plan. Tens of thousands have already joined the
Resistance, but I need your help.
Please Join the Resistance. And then invite your friends.
P.S. Obama plans on mobilizing millions of his followers in a
massive grassroots campaign DURING his presidency! This is unprecedented.
We must fight back now. Please Join the Resistance.

CAIR countersuit against Michael Savage thrown out
Excerpt from court document: "Opposition to motion for award of fees" filed by Daniel Horowitz, Attorney for Michael Savage, page 9 line 14 (emphasis added)
Defendant has called into question whether Savage ever truly believed that CAIR and
Hamas were partner groups. Plaintiff contends that Savage’s RICO claim was simply a
rehashing of the Copyright claim and nothing more. Both allegations are completely untrue. Exhibit 1 is the lawsuit that Savage was prepared to file on the Amended RICO. Exhibit 2 are
the Exhibits. This pleading very carefully details the fact that CAIR was formed by Hamas to be
the American face of Hamas. The goal was to advance the interests of Palestine and to serve
Palestine. The civil rights persona was chosen to mimic the real civil rights group formed by
prominent Arab American pollster, James Zogby. The civil rights persona of CAIR was deemed
a necessary evil in order to fool American Muslims who the CAIR founders knew would reject
the radical message of Hamas.
Exhibit 3 is a copy of the initial funding that CAIR received by wire transfer from the
Hamas based Holy Land Foundation. The RICO lawsuit contains a screen shot where CAIR
solicited money for the victims of 9/11. The second page shows that the recipient of money was
the Holy Land Foundation. The Holy Land Foundation is a terrorist group. This is the type of
proof that Savage had to show that CAIR funded terrorist supporting groups.
Editorial: This is significant because it sets a precendent for rigorous application of U.S. law against nefarious organizations with an agenda undermine American freedoms by using the legal system to attack their opposition. Michael Savage led the effort to block the Dubai ports deal, and when it was successful, CAIR aggressively targeted him. Beware the enemy within! CAIR attempts to win approval of liberal religious organizations and uses propaganda that hides the intent of its founders and the groups funding them.
