In this short but revealing video, we have the privilege to see a series of aerial pictures taken of some areas of the land of Israel in 1907, and then again in 1974. Put side by side, these photos reveal how Jews showed resilience to bring that desolate part of the world into a garden of life. If Israel is such a nice place today, it is precisely because of the hard work and dedication of these brave Jews who struggled against all odds to make it into a small paradise. Look at the pictures. Those of 1907 show a dry and rocky land where nothing exists, while those of today show cities, neighbourhoods, trees and life. Famous 19th century writer Mark Twain made a trip to Palestine. In his writings, he says that for complete days he couldn’t meet anyone while walking throughout the country. If Palestine is such a precious piece of land for the Muslims and the « Palestinians », how come they were not living there when the Jews slowly established themselves in the second half of the 19th century? If it is so important to them, how come throughout all history of the Ottoman Empire and of Islam they have not installed themselves permanently in Palestine, from the conquest in the 7th century until the creation of the State of Israel in 1947? For a people that pretends that this piece of territory is so sacred and crucial, it is definitely strange. Maybe it has to do with the fact that Jerusalem is not mentioned a single time in the Koran…But now that the Israelis have succeeded in making the land flourish and give fruit, now they want to live on it, now the « Palestinian refugees » want to « go back » as if they ever were there in the first place… Curious how circumstances influence one’s sens of ownership and citizenship…

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann policy statement on Israel: Support your own civilization
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann from Minnesota 6th Congressional District presents her policy statement on Israel. And what does it look like? As a true patriot, American, Judeo-Christian and small-d democrat, she supports Israel, of course! Here, she expressly states that we, westerners and democrats, must support Israel in its struggle against terrorism and islamic bigotry. There is no other choice. Because, if you take sides with the Palestinians, with their Hamas, Hezbollah and other groups, you then support activities that are contrary to democracy and to the values of our civilization. Thanks, Congresswoman!
Debunking Palestinian reverse propaganda 1.0 : Photos from the Gaza Strip « biggest open air concentration camp of the world »
Well, well, well… Look at what we got here… I think me just caught you with your pants down, little babies from the Gaza Strip! These links below present a series of pictures taken, not in Israel, not in Saudi Arabia, not in the Mediterranean, not in Greece, not in Turkey…but in the Gaza Strip! Folks, believe me or not, but these pictures were taken in the very place that Palestinians refer to as being « the world’s biggest open air concentration camp ». Nothing less! Look at the photos and tell me if it fits your description of such a terrible place. You see barbwires, smoke coming out of facilities, « dust » falling down from the sky, piles of decomposing bodies? I think you don’t. You see, that’s a clear example of reverse propaganda. The Third Reich has been doing just that, putting people, mostly Jews, into real concentration camps to be worked to death and/or gased, and now they are using the accusation to smear Israel for something that it clearly doesn’t do. The second link shows pictures of a new shopping mall in Gaza. Enjoy them. And please, put your children to bed… These shots are so « graphic » in nature that they could induce some kind of trauma…You don’t wanna take any chances…
Welcome to the Itamar massacre or how violence in the Muslim world has become entertainment
Watch this video about the Itamar, an Israeli settling in the West Bank, massacre of last friday. Pictures are crude, terrible, ugly but they depict exactly the situation Jews and Israelis face around the world: unequivocal violence that receives a free pass. A group, we don’t know how many, of Palestinians enters a residence in Itamar. Then they proceed to massacre the resident couple and three of their six children, including a three-month old baby… The killing might have been claimed by Fatah members, it is not yet confirmed, belonging to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs sub-group. After the news of the killings, some Palestinians were seen celebrating in the Gaza Strip, serving baklavas to the population. Stupid comments were made also by certain Palestinian authorities diminishing the importance of the event. Frankly, if you are not disgusted by all this, I don’t know what would make you react. And what is even more disgusting is the very small or even total absence of coverage of this news in the western media, considering the immense brouhaha any petty event involving violence or discomfort felt by Palestinians receives all year-long. Anti-semitism is making a very strong comeback, if it ever departed. Not only we can see it in terrible events like this but as well in the censorship this kind of news endure in the western media. The Third Reich and their Islamists proxy warriors controlling that media, it is no surprise if violence against Jews receives almost no coverage.
Assange alleges smear job by a Jewish-led conspiracy
Well, well, well… Isn’t that just fantastic? Julian Assange, probably the fakiest Lefty of the century (see FTR #724, FTR #732 and FTR #733) has shown his true colors. The story published in Private Eye magazine reports that Assange suggested that a smear campaign was being orchestrated by Jews, including allegedly the editor of The Guardian, Alan Rusbridger, as well as other staff members such as David Leigh and John Kampfner. Rusbridger is not Jewish at all to start with. But the most interesting thing here is the synchronicity with a worldwide anti-Israel event that will take place from March 7th to the 20th. The 7th Annual Israeli Apartheid Week will aim at protesting against the supposed apartheid that Israelis impose on Palestinians. The fact that these statements by Julian Assange were pronounced just a fews days before this worldwide event begins is not a coincidence. I think they were deliberately planted there because they are a part of the Annual Week. But here…we have to be understanding and show our compassion to Julian Assange. After all, it is hard to live a life of pretension and acting 24 hours a day… When you are a fascist, to pretend to be a Leftist is difficult. So if he, once in a while, drops the ball, we have to be forgiving. Every man can make mistakes, even professional liars.
Amir Khadir and the ready-to-wear anti-semitism
© Roman Malyshev | Dreamstime.com
This is an article from Barbara Key of the National Post. She presents the case here of Amir Khadir of Québec Solidaire Party, Quebec MNA in the circonscription of Mercier. Last fall, Amir Khadir joined a group of anti-Israel protesters, the PAJU, the Palestinians And Jews United. That group advocates the boycott of all products manufactured in Israel as a denounciation of what they call the « apartheid » that, supposedly, Israel imposes on Palestinians. The PAJU has targeted a small store on St-Denis street in Montreal, Le Marcheur, for the only reason that it sells shoes of the brand Beautifeel, made in Israel.
Here are a few facts about Israel’s day-to-day life:
- 20% of the population is composed of non-Jews
- The Arab minority in Israel has to right to vote and has representatives in the Parlement
- Non-Jews can have sexual relations with Jews. They can use the same transportation system and the same hospitals. They can give or receive blood from Jews
- Arab workers in Israel have the same rights and conditions than Jewish workers
- Arabs have access to the same schools than the Jews
- There is no discrimination in public places such as cinema venue or beaches
- Arabic is one of the official languages in Israel
So how « apartheid » does that sound? What is really interesting about the article is that I am involved in this. I belong to the counter-protesters who join Mr Archambault and Ms Auger in their fight against fanaticism, fascism, nazism and anti-semitism. Every saturday we gather to make sure that these fascists from the PAJU won’t get the upper hand in that conflict and that the rights of Jews and French-Canadians or Québécois are respected and defended. Many people are beginning to ask themselves what Amir Khadir really does in the end. He admitted to have been in the past a member of the People’s Mujahiddin of Iran, a socialist Islamist group created to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran. Khadir’s brother, Omid, was arrested in Paris in 2003 at the organization’s base in a police operation. So it is not clear what his agenda is but, under the circumstances, we have to be very careful and ready to combat tooth and nail against anything he does. Social-democracy is the best political system that the world has ever invented. We have to do everything in our power to protect it.
What is striking here is how criticism of Israel is just another front for anti-semitism. Bashing Israel being more socially acceptable than just expressing direct and plain anti-semitic views, it can be sold more easily to the middle class, to he bourgeois who delect indulging in this kind of sentiments. Effectively, denouncing Israel sounds cool, right, seeming to come from a learned opinion because it doesn’t possess the stain of anti-semitism and nazism that is often fatal. It is ready-to-wear anti-semitism for the bourgeois.
