Tel Aviv: The Gay Capital of the World?

Hat Tip to Nanc...

The End of Days must be upon us. Ynetnews is reporting that Tel Aviv is now slated to become the "gay capital of the world".

The disturbing story:

“Tel Aviv and gay people are a perfect fit,” an Israel Hotel Association (IHA) official said.

“The gay community has amazing consumer power, and Tel Aviv has a lot to offer to this community,” IHA Director-General Eli Ziv explained. “We have the beach, sun, culture and nightclubs. To our knowledge, gays are capable of hopping on a plane and traveling to the other side of the world just to participate in parties and events that are related to the gay community.

Meanwhile, Tourism Ministry Director-General Eli Cohen said he would offer any financial assistance necessary to turn Tel Aviv into the gay capital of the world, and he is not alone: TUI, Europe’s largest tourism conglomerate, has recently decided to offer charter flights to Tel Aviv.

Israeli tourism officials said they believe the decision would facilitate the travel of thousands of gays to the country.

I think I may puke. Read it all...if you can stomach it. Nothing like bringing Sodom to Israel, eh? Something must be done to stop this madness.

White Men Can't Work

We all know that Canada is just like Eurotrash France when it comes to rampant liberalism, but this really takes the cake. David Marshall, the Deputy Minister of Canada's Department of Public Works, has issued a federal edict, in place at least through March 31, 2006, banning the federal agency from hiring Caucasian males.

Not kidding. In the pursuit of "diversity" and "inclusiveness", white men, no matter how qualified they may be, are hereby forbidden to be hired by agency managers. This edict was issued because the "employment-equity" quota goals of minorities and women came up short in the department's last survey period.

How in the hell Canada thinks they will be more "inclusive" by banning people based on their gender or skin color only a liberal could understand. The way I see it, the Canadian federal government, like all bastions of liberalism, is simply BIGOTED.

More Reform Zealotry

Not only did the Reform movement pass resolutions condemning the Religious Right and the Iraq War, the latest resolution passed at the Radical, Extreme, Off-The-Charts liberal Reform Movement's Biennial Conference condemns the nomination of Sam Alito for the SCOTUS.

This, despite the fact that Jeff Wasserstein, a former law clerk for Alito and a self-described liberal Democrat, argued in favor of Alito's nomination at the conference. Here's the bullet points of the resolution:

Condemning the Alito nomination:

"Judge Alito’s elevation to the Supreme Court “would threaten protection of the most fundamental rights which our Movement supports including, but not limited to, reproductive freedom, the separation between church and state, protection of civil rights and civil liberties, and protection of the environment;”

"On choice, women’s rights, civil rights, and the scope of federal power particularly as it relates to civil rights and environmental protection, Judge Alito’s nomination “has engendered a national debate on one or more issues of core concern to the Reform Movement so that the outcome of the nomination is likely to be perceived as a referendum on that issue and will have significant implications beyond the individual nomination;”

Oy Vay...such a motley crew of extremists.

"Likud pays price for treachery" -MK Effie Eitam

Effie Eitam, retired IDF hero, former head of the National Religious Party, and now a prominent MK with the National Union Party, had a lot to say about the collapse of Yassir Sharon's government in the Knesset and subsequent departure from the Likud Party.

From Arutz Sheva News:

"The Likud, which was afraid to depose Sharon before he lifted his hand against Gush Katif, is today paying the price of the treachery against the values of the nationalist camp, and for the turning of their back against the settlers. The Likud now sees how its leader abandons the sinking ship after he made holes in its ideological bottom, and now goes to bring new wind into the left-wing sails."

"Those who sacrificed the wholeness of the Land of Israel on the altar of the wholeness of the Likud Party, now see that dividing the Land of Israel leads to the division of the Likud Party."

Beautifully said, Effie!

Sharon Quits Likud

It's official: Yassir Sharon is bolting Likud to form a new political party. He reportedly will make an official announcement on Monday. This new party will include a dozen or so current left-leaning Likud ministers, and possibly Labor's Shimon Peres, with the intention of freeing Sharon to form a Government that will be able to make further concessions and "good will gestures" without those pesky rightwing obstructionists.

Historically, starting new political parties has proven disasterous for aspiring Israeli leaders. However, the old, fat, lying bastard does have a lot of popular support, so he may be able to pull it off. We shall hope not. Oh, and by the way, Yassir, MZ has a message for you from some old-school Likud traditionalists:

"Don't let the door hit your capitulating ass on the way out! "

Thus, the campaign begins. MZ will immediately begin championing the candidacy of Benny Elon and the National Union party. Time to get busy...Sharon must be defeated at all costs!

403 - 3

John "I want my mommy!" Murtha called for America to unconditionally surrender in Iraq on Wednesday. In response, congress voted 403 -3 not to act like France and abandon post-war Iraq like a bunch of dhimmis.

Rep. Jean Schmidt, R-Ohio, summed it up best on the House floor:

"A few minutes ago I received a call from Colonel Danny Bop,Ohio Representative from the 88th district in the House of Representatives. He asked me to send Congress a message: Stay the course. He also asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message, that cowards cut and run, Marines never do. Danny and the rest of America and the world want the assurance from this body – that we will see this through."

Dick Cheney also hit it on the head in a speech to the Frontiers of Freedom:

"The president and I cannot prevent certain politicians from losing their memory, or their backbone, but we're not going to sit by and let them rewrite history."

At least - at the very least - this proves that our socialist party (Democrats) is not quite as spineless as Europe's socialist trash. The three cowards who voted in favor of American surrender:

Jose Serrano, D - New York
Robert Wexler, D - Florida
Cynthia McKinney, D - Georgia

Jean Schmidt for President?

Reform's Leftwing Zealotry

With a special Hat Tip to nanc...

When a movement of radical liberalism camouflages itself in religious imagery it can do tremendous damage. "Rabbi" Eric Yoffie, president of the liberal Union for Reform Judaism, made this fact perfectly clear at the Reform national conference in Houston last week.

Let me offer a bit of background on Reform Judaism, as many of you are probably unfamiliar with the history of the movement. Reform Judaism originated from the German Haskalah movement in the 18th century. Jewish secular philosopher Moses Mendelssohn was the most influential founding father. From its very inception, Reform Judaism was designed as a stepping stone to help Jews leave the burden of Torah behind and become secular, liberal gentiles. In fact, all of Mendelssohn's grandchildren assimilated out of Judaism and converted to Christianity.

Today, the anti-Torah hostility and radical liberal activism of the Reform movement still runs as deep as ever, and two developments took shape in this week's conference that plainly bore this out. First, they voted to officially condemn the war in Iraq as inhumane; Second, they announced an official condemnation of the Religious Right - including Jews who are of Orthodox denomination, because they do not embrace the Gay movement.

Read this from Newsmax:

HOUSTON -- The leader of the largest branch of American Judaism blasted conservative religious activists in a speech Saturday, calling them "zealots" who claim a "monopoly on God" while promoting anti-gay policies akin to Adolph Hitler's.

Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the liberal Union for Reform Judaism, said "religious right" leaders believe "unless you attend my church, accept my God and study my sacred text you cannot be a moral person."

"We cannot forget that when Hitler came to power in 1933, one of the first things that he did was ban gay organizations," Yoffie said. "Yes, we can disagree about gay marriage. But there is no excuse for hateful rhetoric that fuels the hellfires of anti-gay bigotry."

Yoffie did not mention evangelical Christians directly, using the term "religious right" instead. In a separate interview, he said the phrase encompassed conservative activists of all faiths, including within the Jewish community.

Hitler, eh? So, let me get this straight: If one is either an Orthodox Jew or a Christian conservative one is really no better than the Nazis, right? That's just beautiful.

For your information, oh enlightened "Rabbi", Orthodox Jews and Religious Right Christians are America's biggest supporters of Israel, while the Christian and Jewish left are America's biggest apologists for the Palestinians - you know, those snuggable moslems who are trying to exterminate the Jews in Israel and replace it with an islamic state?

I think we all know who the real bigots are, don't we? I swear, liberals are just the worst hypocrits.

Shabbos Vayeira

OK, this week we read parsha Vayeira (18:1-22:24) which continues the story of Abraham and his son, Isaac. The reading begins with a lesson in hospitality, as Abraham welcomes in 3 strangers to his home while still in recovery from his circumcision. The stangers turn out to be messengers (or angels, if you prefer) from God who give him the message that his wife, Sarah, will give birth to a son, Isaac, within the year.

They also bring the message that Sodom and Gomorrah are about to become compost toast (like that, nanc?). Abraham intercedes in an effort to save the rightous, persuading God to agree to spare Sodom if as few as 10 rightous men can be found in the city. It is from this example that Jews to this day, 4,000 years later, need at least 10 men to form a minyon for prayer.

Of course, the Sodomizers and Gomorrans are leveled when even that small number cannot be reached. Abrahams brother, Lott, is spared his life when two of the messengers from Abraham's house come and help him out.

Later, Abraham is ordered by God to expel Ishmael and take his beloved Isaac to be bound and sacrificed. Abraham shows his faith in God by performing these commands without argument, and of course Isaac is not sacrificed as an angel intervenes to stop it from happening.

MZ believes the lesson of Abraham here is that he had ultimate faith that God would NEVER allow the command to sacrifice Isaac take place, and he carried his faith in this right to the end when Isaac was indeed redeemed. The faith Isaac must have had that God knows what He's doing is a powerful lesson for us all, as well.

That event, known as the Akeida, or "Binding", is understood to have taken place where?? Anyone?? Yes, on the site we now call the Temple Mount.

Nice to know the moslems are running it so nicely, eh?

Good Shabbos!

"New Martyrs City"

Yassir Sharon might not want to put this in his election campaign ads, but, since the brutal August expulsion of the Jews from Gaza, the city of Neve Dekalim, the former capital of Jewish Gaza, has been converted into a full blown Hamas terror center. From this "New Martyrs City", which is zoned off with barbed wire and marked as a "closed military zone", Qassam rockets have regularly been fired into nearby Israeli Negev towns.

Talk about a plan gone wrong, eh Yassir? Wasn't this "disengagement" supposed to make Israelis safer? Wasn't this "good will gesture" to the moslems supposed to lead to improved relations with the PA? Wasn't it you who told us Mahmoud Abbas would be a real partner in peace, and didn't you promise us that he, unlike Arafat before, would really crack down on "Palestinian" terrorism?

Hold on there, "Arik", didn't the opposition to your expulsion warn us that retreating from the moslems would only lead to the creation of a terrorist state in Gaza? Isn't that exactly what has happened? Worse still, the open Gaza border you and Condi conceded to the PA assures us the islamic terror leaders will be fully stocked with unlimited rockets, ammunition and fire arms to kill Jews with. Are you proud of yourself now, Yassir?

Congratulations, Mr. Sharon, you have done more to harm Israel and the Jews than Yassir Arafat ever dreamed possible. Your legacy and his will be virtually indistinguishable.

There appears to be some confusion regarding the definition of the word "Freedom". MZ is here to try and clear up the confusion.

Defintion #1. Mirriam-Webster Dictionary:
Freedom: 1 : the quality or state of being free: as a: the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action b: liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another.

"Parenting unconstitutional", declares 9th Circuit Court

So, how quickly can we get Alito confirmed?

The liberal courts are certainly doing their best to ruin our children's lives in this country. The radical, leftwing, 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, perhaps the worst violators of judicial revisionism in US history, have now ruled that parents do not have a constitutional right to be informed of the sexual information their elementary school children may be receiving in class.

Saying that it is a warped, twisted gang of deviants serving on the 9th Circuit Court is actually being unkind to warped, twisted deviants everywhere.

Check this out from Dailynews.com:

WASHINGTON - Lawmakers in the U.S. House overwhelmingly denounced the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday for tossing out a lawsuit by Palmdale parents furious that their children were surveyed at school about sex.

In a 320-91 vote, legislators passed a resolution demanding the court rehear the case and charging that it "declared parenting unconstitutional" when it rejected last month the Mesquite Elementary School parents' claim that they have the exclusive right to tell their children about sex.

The measure carries no enforcement or legal weight but is the latest in a string of congressional attacks on the 9th Circuit Court as the House nears a vote on a budget bill that may include a provision that would split the court. The Senate is expected to oppose that move.

"The 9th Circuit Court decided to overstep the boundaries of what a court should be doing," said Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., who sponsored the Palmdale resolution.

"When it comes to what schools are asking very young children about sex, the 9th Circuit decided parents not only don't have the right to say no, they don't even have the right to know what is being asked," Murphy said. "The court should rehear the case and reverse the decision."

Michael "Islam is a Terrorist Organization" Graham lands new gig

Remember a few months back when CAIR got Michael Graham fired from his radio talk show in Washington for criticizing islam? Remember how ABC capitulated to moslem special interest groups in an appalling act of dhimmitude? Remember how Graham courageously refused to apologize? Well, justice has been served.

This from GOPUSA News:

(CNSNews.com) -- Radio talk show host Michael Graham, forced out of his job in the Washington, D.C., market for offending a Muslim group, has a new job in Boston, Mass. Graham is filling the afternoon drive-time slot at WTKK-FM. He called it a "new day" for his family and his career -- and an important day for talk radio and free speech as well.

"It's been three months since the Council of American-Islamic Relations demanded my removal from the airwaves and ABC Radio capitulated to their demands," Graham said on Monday, his first day on the new job.

"In those three months, many things could have happened: If ABC had had their way, I would have been falsely labeled a bigot. Even worse, I could have given into their pressure and issued a false apology, abandoning my principles for the sake of a job (a very tempting idea whenever the rent payment came due).

Instead, Graham added, the talk radio industry rallied, with KFI in Los Angeles putting him on the air the same week he was fired. Since then, Graham said, he's had more than half a dozen job offers from radio stations across the nation.

"Not one station -- not one -- demonstrated any reluctance at all to work with me due to fear of pressure from CAIR or because of ABC's decision to fire me."

The final score in the "anti-free-speech fiasco," Graham said, is "Free Speech 1; Angry Islamic Radicals and the Radio Management Weasels Who Cater To Them, 0."

Isn't it nice to get some good news for a change?

SF Leftwingers: "Extinguish the Human race!"

Leftists aren't just hazardous to America's and Israel's health; they are actually a threat to the very survival of the human race. Based out of San Francisco (where else?), The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, or VHEM, is hoping you'll do your part for the environment by dropping dead as soon as possible. Oh, but they do just love children...

This from the UPI:

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Make no mistake about it, the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement isn't anti-child, it's more like anti-human.

The VHE is dedicated to phasing out the human race in the interest of the health of the Earth, founder Les Knight told Wednesday's San Francisco Chronicle.

With 16,000 people born per hour and a current global population of 6.5 billion, there are already more than enough people on the planet, Knight said.

A 1994 study concluded a single person born in the 1990s would be responsible during a lifetime for 22 million pounds of liquid waste and 2.2 million pounds each of solid waste and atmospheric waste, the newspaper said. He or she will have a lifetime consumption of 4,000 barrels of oil, 1.5 million pounds of minerals and 62,000 pounds of animal products that will necessitate the slaughter of 2,000 animals.

"Wherever humans live, not much else lives," Knight said. "It isn't that we're evil and want to kill everything -- it's just how we live."

Knight, who had a vasectomy at age 25, emphasizes VHE likes kids and says many of its members are parents as well as children.

Coalition dissolved!! Early Elections For Israel

Baruch Hashem (thank GOD)!!! Today it finally became official: The Yassir Sharon unity government has collapsed and early elections will be held in late February or March. Sharon met earlier today with newly elected Labor chief Amir Peretz, and Peretz informed Sharon that he was indeed pulling Labor out of the unity government with Likud.

The posturing will now furiously begin, as Sharon must decide whether he will again run for Likud leadership and face the party's snarling members to his right, or instead form a more leftwing breakaway party of his own, consisting of Likud doves and old time Labor friends like Shimon Peres.

The nationalist and religious Zionist parties will also have some important negotiations ahead. Some polls have shown that a unified Zionist ticket would gain enough knesset seats to challenge for winning control of the government. The biggest problem may be getting the many factions together under a single ticket. The biggest sticking point is between Benny Elon's National Union and Zevulun Orlev's NRP (National Religious Party), as Elon is a nationalist Zionist looking to transfer the Palestinians to Jordan and make Israel whole again, while Orlev is much more dovish.

Jihad on the Mount

If there is one concession that Israel makes to the arabs that is more sacreligious than any other, it would have to be the one giving the moslem Waqf total control of the Temple Mount grounds. For those of you unfamiliar with the Temple Mount, it is the site upon which the two ancient Holy Temples existed, where Jews in biblical times brought their sacrifices and the Shekinah (or presence of God) manifested in the ark of the "Holy of Holies" which was located behind the Western Wall, or "Kotel" as it is pronounced in hebrew.

Israel gained complete control over the Temple Mount from Jordan in the 1967 "6-day" war. The first order of business, though? Return it to moslem control as a (what else?) "Good will gesture".

Therefore, the primary reason the Kotel is considered the holiest site for Jews today is because when we put our hands upon the Western Wall it is the closest we are physically permitted to get to the "Holy of Holies" behind it.

It is a complex issue in many ways, as it is the belief of Jews that there will be a 3rd and final Holy Temple built at the time of the coming of Moshiach (anointed one). Among religious Jews, there is a debate over whether the 3rd Temple will be built by God Himself and the King Moshiach will then follow, or whether it is to be built by man and the King Moshiach will then assume the throne at his appointed time. A third view holds that the King Moshiach himself will personally see to the Temple being built. MZ follows the second view, but the others are certainly entitled their opinions.

The question one still must ask, then, is this: Why are the Jews not permitted access to the Temple Mount?

Surprise! The moslems forbid the Jews from doing so. In fact, they also forbid Christians, atheists, and anyone else who is not a moslem from entering the Temple Mount. There are a few tiny exceptions to this, but they are highly restricted tour times, and the Waqf's rules forbid one to even give the appearence of praying! No non-moslem religious books or symbols are permitted at all.

Yet, Israel allows this. In fact, the Israeli Supreme Court and Knesset continuosly repells any and all legal attempts to reduce the severity of the islamic domination over the Temple Mount.

Can you imagine the outcry if Jews forbid the moslems to make their haj to Mecca? Even more absurd, can you picture the moslems VOLUNTARILY giving the Jews control of their pilgrimage rights? Impossible.

But, the Jews are willing to even sacrifice this - the greatest of all good will gestures - in an effort to be given peace and acceptance by the moslems. How is it working you ask?

Read this from ArutzSheva News for your answer. Below is an excerpt from the story to give you the gist of it.

Islamic radicals have been using the Temple Mount as a focal point for planning and preaching the establishment of a world Islamic state with Jerusalem as its capital. One of the radical groups operating on the Temple Mount is Hizab Altahrir (The Islamic Liberation Party), which espouses an ideology similar to Al Qaeda.

Hizab Altahrir’s network spans most Western European countries. The party puts Islamic revolution and an uncompromising form of Jihad (holly war) at the top of its political agenda. The group advocates subjecting the entire world to Islamic law (Shariya), and destroying non-believing nations and religions.

Clueless Congress

This from GOP Bloggers:

When Did Congress Press for a WWII Exit Strategy? What Was the "Plan" to Win WWII?

A majority of both houses of Congress, a Democratic presidential administration, a Republican presidential administration, and numerous foreign nations agreed that Saddam Hussein represented a security threat that needed to be neutralized. After voting in 1998 to neutralize that threat by removing the Saddam regime, Congress voted again in 2002 to enforce its 1998 vote.

Now that the war has not proceeded according to what they had hoped 2-1/2 years ago, the Senate has changed its mind. Clearly, nobody in the Senate understands that a war plan changes constantly and never survives first contact with the enemy. To demand a rigid, inflexible plan is absurd. But the morons in the Senate persist.

Umm, I hate to break this shocking bit of news to everyone, but we already won the damn war in Iraq. Remember, we took out Saddam about two years ago and he's on trial now for war crimes?

What we have left is a post-war mission to help rebuild Iraq and see through the successful establishment of a democratic republic. We are also helping to rebuild the police force and the economy, while securing the population by eradicating the terrorists who are trying to fill the post-Saddam void.

I have no idea why anyone would want us to stop this mission. That republicans are helping the democrats sabotage our most important final phase in establishing a stable Iraq proves how corrupt the party really has become.

All Israel’s security branches protest Sharon

Yassir Sharon's latest capitulation to the moslems - giving up all Israeli control of the Gaza border crossings at the behest of Condi Rice - has reportedly enraged top level security officials in all branches of the Israeli military and police forces.

This from Debkafile news:

The protests came from the top levels of Israel’s armed forces, the Shin Beit and all other intelligence services and the police. Rarely before have so many expressions of alarm been rushed to the head of government by all of top security agencies.

By this extreme step -

1. Each of the branches submitted separate warnings to prime minister Ariel Sharon and defense minister Shaul Mofaz. They were alerted to the grave hazards in store when the crossings are reopened later this month and the rest of the accord goes into effect, shorn as they have been of appropriate security controls.

2. Each branch placed its reservations in writing to clearly record where responsibility lies for the worst possible contingencies.

With early elections being a near certainty, this will likely serve to galvanize the Israeli political right further away from Sharon. The knesset may be dissolved as early as Monday when a no-confidence vote is scheduled to be brought to the floor with widespread support. If this motion indeed passes, new elections will likely take place at the beginning of March.

"Wrongful Life" Down Under

This from Courttv News:

A blind and deaf Australian woman who claims she never should have been born is suing a doctor for a lifetime of suffering in the country's first "wrongful life" suit.

Alexia Harriton, 24, is seeking compensation from the doctor who misdiagnosed rubella in the first trimester of her mother's pregnancy, claiming Olga Harriton would have aborted her had she been aware of the potential birth defects arising from the illness.

Lawyers for the Sydney woman argued in Australia's highest court Thursday that Dr. Paul Stephens is liable for the costs arising from a lifetime of medical treatment that Harriton needs to survive.

Harriton's lawyers claim that Stephens had a duty to Olga Harriton and to her unborn daughter to inform her of the risk of the infection passing to her child. "Had the rubella been diagnosed, Olga [Harriton] would have exercised her lawful right to terminate the pregnancy," court documents state.

I would imagine the Ruth Bader Ginsberg faction of the Supreme Court is just salivating over the prospects of siting this case as "international precedent" for making eugenics American law. Please, please, please, God, help us to get Alito confirmed before the current SCOTUS gets their filthy liberal paws on this.

The Jews did the Jordan Hotel Bombings!

You knew this was coming, didn't you?

WorldnetDaily's Aaron Klein reports today that Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi knows who is really responsible for the triple suicide bombings that killed 57 people: The Jews!

Said Asefi to reporters, "The explosions in Jordan are a suspicious matter. Most probably the Zionist regime (Israel) was behind them."

Of course it wasn't the moslems...they never would commit a suicide bombing or anything. It's the Jews! It's gotta be the Jews!

Oh, one tiny little problem with this brilliant theory: Al Qaida has already taken credit for it, and a moslem woman named Sajida Mabruk Atrous Rishawi has already confessed on camera how she came to Jordan with her husband to participate in the suicide bombing, only her belt didn't detonate while his did.

Well, then again, it's so much more fun to just blame the Jews, isn't it? And you know what the real punch line is? Most of the moslems and their leftwing allies will believe it to be true!

Oh, by the way...France is still on fire

Fortunately, Frontpagemag is one of the few who are willing to report that France is still being burned to a crisp by the intifada, now on day #17. Haven't heard anymore about it in the MSM, you say? Well, that's no accident; the media doesn't want their beloved bastion of liberalism to be portrayed in a negative light, so all news from France is being strictly censored.

Don't be fooled by the phony silence. Last night there were 374 cars torched by the moslems (or deprived youths if you happen to be of leftist persuasion), as anarchy and violence continues to rage out of control throughout the country. This despite police-enforced curfews and nationwide bans on public assembly.

Then again, perhaps the police are not all that interested in going the extra mile for Mr. Chirac. Chirac recently decided to have 8 police officers suspended for, get this, using force to arrest a rioting moslem, inflicting (gasp!) scrapes and bruises in the process! Chirac went on to apologize to the disenfranchised youth who are rioting, saying France needs to be (get this) more egalitarian and accommodating to the moslems than they had been before.

"In God We Trust" RIP?

WorldnetDaily reports today that Militant atheist attorney, Michael Newdow, who nearly succeeded in banning the "under God" Pledge of Allegiance from public schools before he was rejected by the Supreme Court, now continues his jihad against religion by taking aim at banning "In God We Trust" from American currency.

Newdow, just before his scheduled speaking engagement with (who else?) the ACLU, said this to the Oklahoman: "I am about to file to get 'In God We Trust' off the front of our currency. I plan to do that this week."

Later, Newdow had this to say to KWTV in Oklahoma City: "The key principle is that we're supposed to treat everybody equally especially in terms of religious belief. Clearly it's not treating atheists equal with people who believe in God when you say 'In God We Trust' or we are a 'nation under God.'"

So you see, liberalism doesn't discriminate at all...it seeks to destroy traditional society EVERYWHERE, not just in the European countries. Isn't that so egalitarian of them?

Meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out how handling money that says "In God We Trust" somehow constitutes State sponsored religious coercion.

To me, if the State is forbidden to use the word "God" anywhere at any time it actually constitutes state sponsored atheism. I'm no lawyer, but common sense tells me that if one is forbidden to mention God at all it becomes more than simple separation of Church and State; it is advocating the establishment of an atheist, anti-God nation.

Liberals may find the Roberts/Alito Supreme Court less receptive to such aspirations.

Lech Lecha

A good week to all. Shabbos has ended, but I wanted to reflect one more time on this past week's parsha (Torah reading), Lech Lecha, as it's so relevant to today's Arab/Israeli conflict.

Lech Lecha is the parsha where God tells Abram (he's not yet been renamed "Abraham" by God), "Go for yourselves from your land, from your relatives, and from your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make you a great nation; I will bless you, and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and all the families on the earth shall bless themselves by you."

Now, whether or not one accepts the bible as fact or fiction, one cannot deny that history has treated those who are good to Abraham's people very well, while those who have treated Abraham's people badly have not faired very well at all. The examples of this are are too numerous to mention.

Later, once Abram and Sarai (she's not yet been renamed "Sarah" by God) traveled to what was then known as "Canaan", God appears once again to Abram and said, "To your offspring I will give this land."

OK, we see God does make it clear who we wants to inherit this Land, don't we? What's remarkable is that no other nation has existed within those borders since the time of Joshua but the chosen offspring of Abraham. Yes, Israel has been conquered and placed under foreign rule many times over, but there has never, ever been a single independent country within the Land of Israel besides Israel. This is a historical fact.

Later in the reading, Abram consorts with his Egyptian servant Hagar (once Sarai is believed to be barren) and she conceives. Hagar then disrespects Sarai and subsequently runs away when treated harshly.

An angel comes to her then and says, "Return to your mistress (Sarai), and submit yourself to her domination."

Later the angel adds, "Behold, you will conceive, and give birth to a son; you shall name him Ishmael, for God has heard your prayer. And he shall be a wild-ass of a man: his hand against everyone, and everyone's hand against him; and over all his brothers shall he dwell."

Now, who are the descendents of this "WILD-ASS"of a man, you may ask? The Mohammedans, of course. Does history prove this people to be exactly as God had said? Without question.

Later, God again appears to Abraham and says, "Your name shall no longer be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham...I will ratify My covenant between Me and you and between your offspring after you, throughout their generations, as an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you; and I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojourns - the whole of the land of Canaan - as an everlasting possession; and I shall be a God to them."

Notice God did not say "I will give you a small section of the land", or "a little bit of this, and a little bit of that" of the land. No, God said the WHOLE OF THE LAND. Sharon expelling the Jews from Gaza and giving it to the Ishmaelites doesn't seem all that kosher now, does it?

Oh, wait, you say Ishmael is a son of Abram so it must be his covenant too, right?

WRONG!

God later in the reading says to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife - do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name. I will bless her; indeed, I will give you a son through her; I will bless her and she shall give rise to nations; kings of peoples shall rise from her."

Hmmm...still, God could mean Ishmael still is part of the covenant too, right? He's not been disqualified, after all.

WRONG! Read on...

Abraham said in response: "O that Ishmael might live before You!"

God then said: "Nonetheless, your wife Sarah will bear you a son and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will fulfill My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him."

God then said: "But regarding Ishmael I have heard you: I have blessed him...But I will maintain my covenant through Isaac whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year."

You're out mohammed! No soup for you!

Now, I know many of my readers are not at all religious, and I really don't have a problem with that, but I hope at least you can see better from the excerpts I've given from Lech Lecha that there are some very strong consistencies between history and Torah.

PA declares: We'll only shoot Israelis

In the latest example of how well Yassir Sharon's strategy of Jewish expulsion and moslem appeasement is working, we see this from Arutz Sheva News:

"In the letter, revealed by UPI, the officers warn that the Palestinian Authority (PA) security apparatus is on the verge of collapse due to widespread corruption and the ongoing state of anarchy that exists in autonomous areas. The authors of the letter to Abu Mazen state that they reject ongoing US and Israeli pressure demanding the disarming of PA terrorist organizations. Instead, the militia officers declared, their weapons will only be pointed at Israel and at Israel's Arab agents fighting terrorism in the PA."

On the 1 year anniversary of Arafat's death, we see how well the "peace process" has gone since his demise. If Sharon thought it was Arafat alone who prevented peace with the 'Palestinians', and that his new best friend, Mahmoud Abbas, was a peace loving man to work together with, why are things only getting worse?

Time for Mr. Sharon to go away before he does anymore damage. Early elections can't come soon enough, and I pray for a Rightwing Zionist government to win enough seats to come and save the day.

Babs Seeking Bush Impeachment

Worldnetdaily is reporting today that radical leftwing activist Barbara Streissand is calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush. The mind numbing list of reasons she has for taking such action include:

• He caused global warming
• Hurricane Katrina
• Removing Saddam Hussein prematurely
• Potential indictments that might someday be made against unnamed Bush advisors

Barbara sure seems to have an ironclad case against the president. I wonder if he'll just opt to resign now rather than face such a slam-dunk impeachment trial? To make matters worse, Barbara has threatened that if she doesn't get her way she will subject the Republicans in congress to viewing the release of her latest project, "Yenta: Part 2".

No Republican congressmen were willing to comment on this disturbing development, but MZ has learned that off the record many indicated they would impeach their own mothers rather then having to watch such a horrifying film. Also, one high ranking official claimed it's not yet clear if having to sit through "Yenta: Part 2" would be considered a torture violation of the Geneva convention.

Madzionist's Plight

I sometimes just have to shake my head in disbelief at how many of my tribesman are under the spell of socialism. It gets so frustrating that sometimes I just want to smack them around until their head comes out of their asses. The following two reports make me sick.

Reform condemns Texas gay vote
Poll: Jews closer to blacks, Hispanics on race

Now, let me make one thing perfectly clear: I grew up as a Reform Jew (though now I'm what is usually called Modern Orthodox), my whole family is Reform, most of the Jews I knew growing up were Reform, and I still have many friends who are Reform. That said, the Liberalism in Reform and Conservative Judaism is truly appalling.

As my cousin Bobby has said before: Reform/Conservative Judaism is the Democrat Party platform disguised as religion. Now, before all of my friends and family who are Reform/Conservative Jews jump up and throw a tantrum, just think about it a little, OK? I love you guys, but you know I'm right.

Liberalism Runs Amok: Yates conviction overturned

Andrea Yates, the mother who in 2002 systematically drowned her five children to death, had her conviction for capital murder thrown out because testimony regarding an episode of TV's Law & Order was incorrect. Undoubtedly, leftists everywhere are jumping for joy today, as this cold-blooded child killer will now be getting a knew trial that could very well allow Yates to receive therapy rather than any hard time in prison.

In fact, if all goes well for Yates, a nice liberal feminist therapist will eventually deem Yates to be rehabilitated and let her walk free altogether. She then could do the talk show circuit, sign a book deal, and maybe even speak at the next Democrat National Convention.

This is exactly why the death penalty is an absolute must. If a murderer is kept alive and well in prison there stands the very real possibility that some leftwing lawyer will find some leftwing judge to throw out the case on a technicality, allowing the dangerous killer to once again roam the streets of society. God willing, Alito and Roberts will set the Supreme Court straight again, and help repair the damage to society the liberal courts have been inflicting over the last several years.

Stunning News: Jordan's bombings were performed by moslems!

Incredibly, the triple suicide bombings in Jordan were committed not by Jews, Christians, Hindus or Buddhists , but by (gasp) moslems! The religion of peace!

How could this be?

Well, yes, it is a shocker for us all to think an act of terrorism could be attributed to lovable followers of mohammed, but, alas, it somehow appears to be true. In fact, contrary to what the always objective mainstream media has taught us about islam's renowned tolerance, the moslems who blew up the hotels in the name of allah were targeting people who were not practicing islam strictly enough.

In fact, some have even suggested that Jews may have been in the vicinity of the hotels, and, as we all know from the MSM's crackerjack reporting of the news from Israel, the Jews are always disenfranchising moslems. So, perhaps it was somehow the fault of the Jews after all.

Whew, what a relief! I'd hate to think islam would ever get blamed for anything. Those clever Jews sure do muddy the waters, don't they?

Peretz defeats Peres

Great news!!! In the Labor party primaries in Israel, ArutzSheva News is reporting that Shimon Peres has been unseated by Amir Peretz. Why does MZ care which socialist is in charge of the Labor party, you may ask?

Well, he cares because if Shimon Peres had won, the leftwing coalition he had made with Likud that's allowed Mr. Sharon to stay in power would have continued. Peretz, however, intends to pull Labor out of its coalition with Likud and become an opposition party, causing Sharon's government to collapse and early elections to begin!

MZ has been anxiously awaiting Yassir Sharon's demise for a looong time. God willing, this will now finally happen and the expelled settlers will be avenged.

**************************************************
Hot Update!

Amir Peretz in his victory speech announced Labor will leave Sharon's coalition. A true socialist, Peretz is interested in Labor being an opposition party that fights capitalism and privatization. As leftist as Peres may have been, Peretz is promising to move the party further still to the left like it was before 1977 when Likud ended Labor's socialist domination.

Blair Trounced by Jihad Apologists

By a surprisingly large 322-291 margin, Tony Blair's legislation to detain terrorists for up to 90 days before formal charges must be filed was defeated in British parliament today. The 90 days was considered critical in fighting terror because that amount of time was supposed to help authorities gain information from detainees to prevent future attacks.

What is so mindboggling about this is that the British opted for policies of appeasement despite the burning of France by jihadis just across the Channel. It appears that in Europe every opportunity for capitulation to islam is met with open arms. Has the socialist indoctrination rendered them all so impotent that they are content to just sit back and wait for jihad to come by and implement Sharia Law? Apparently so.

Well, considering the way the EU has always sucked up to the 'Palestinians' while pushing Israel to give up the kitchen sink, I say let's send matches and gasoline over to the continent's moslem population so all its Euro-trash countries can enjoy a barbecue a la Francaise.

It's the least we could do.

Israeli leaders: Evangelicals are better than liberals

Sorry liberals, you're not Israel's best friends anymore - not by a longshot. In a report in J-Post today, Israeli leaders like Bibi Netanyahu and Benny Elon, speaking at the Knesset's Christian Allies Caucus, sang the praises of the Evangelical Right for all the support they've given the Jewish State. Meanwhile, liberal activists, who loathe the Religious Right with every fiber of their being, were left out in the cold having a collective hissy fit at the prospect of this growing alliance gaining momentum.

Said Netanyahu, "The greatest support Israel has today is in the United States. And the greatest support Israel has in the US, besides the Jewish community, is that of Evangelical Christians." Bibi went on to add, "These people [Evangelicals] support us not because of a shared ethnic identity, but because of a broader partnership based on values."

MZ's favorite Israeli leader, former tourism minister Benny Elon, who believes transferring the Palestinians out of Israel (yes, that means Judea, Samaria and Gaza) and into Jordan is the only way to achieve peace, had this to say: "We did not succeed in Israel yet to understand the power the Evangelicals have politically in America."

Elon is head of the National Union party in Israel, which stands to gain substantial political power in the next elections in the wake of Yassir Sharon's ill-fated, cowardly Gaza expulsion. As the former tourism minister, he was also at the forefront of Israel's campaign over the last several years to team up with Evangelical Christian supporters around the world.

I can almost hear the sound of self-loathing Jews fainting! Oh the horror! Christian conservatives now are Israel's FRIEND!?

Get used to it, leftists. Your compassion for the 'Palestinian' terrorists, coupled with your hatred for the innocent Jewish settlers who were expelled from Gaza and northern Samaria, indeed makes you a very poor friend of Israel these days.

"Youths" Torching Nursery Schools & Hospitals

Those disenfranchised, poverty stricken, disaffected youths of France just keep expressing themselves in the darndest of ways. Here's the latest from the AP:

"Outside Paris in Sevran, a junior high school was set ablaze, while in the suburb of Vitry-sur-Seine youths threw gasoline bombs at a hospital, Hamon said. Nobody was injured. Rioters also attacked a police station with gasoline bombs in Chenove, in Burgundy's Cote D'Or, Hamon said. A nursery school in Lille-Fives, in northern France, was set on fire, regional officials said."

Boy, these poor random French youths -- of no particular race, creed or color, of course -- are protesting their economic hardship with real vigor, huh? Perhaps an army of social workers should go in and offer free hugs to help alleviate their terrible feelings of hopelessness and angst. Maybe even a sing-along with inspirational classics like "If I Had a Hammer (or a Molotov cocktail)" and "We are the World (so you'll convert or else you die)".

Brings a tear to the eye, eh? Kids: they're just so incorrigible!

Burn Baby Burn

It's shocking even to myself to be confessing this, but the truth is I actually have found myself cheering for the moslem vermin to destroy the People's Republic of France. It's like I get this guilty pleasure of "I told you so" washing over me every time I see updates about violence spreading, cars and buildings burning everywhere, moslem clerics assuming power and giving the orders while Chirac and his government of appeasement feebly sits back trembling with fear.

I have this evil inclination to walk up to every liberal I can find and just burst out laughing in their face. Pointing my finger in their chest and asking them how they feel now that the precious "religion of peace" they've been apologizing for all this time is now destroying their favorite socialist nation.

I want to go to France and buy a Molotov cocktail for some filthy moslem on the street. Hell, I'll even buy his friends a round to toss at their favorite French building or vehicle.

I want to walk into the Supreme Court and ask the liberals on the bench, who sited French law rather than our constitution in ruling on cases like the death penalty, if they like that utopian model still today. The one that is burning to the ground because of the passive, meek, restricted law enforcement they pompously advocate for us in America.

I want to get in Howard Dean's face and demand to know how he and his progressive partners feel now that their socialist center for diversity and multiculturalism is on fire. Being burned to rubble because the leftist government is crippled with weakness and overrun by political correctness.

Am I being bad to think this way? Yeah, maybe. But sometimes being bad feels soooo good.

A Sad Day

MZ's favorite weblog (besides his own, of course) sadly announced it was closing up shop today. Moonbat Central had been a staple of my reading diet for the past 6 months or so, and seeing it go is most disappointing.

An offshoot of David Horowitz's brilliant twin leftist-bashing websites, DiscoverTheNetworks and FrontpageMag, MBC was staffed by the finest weblog hosts I've ever had the pleasure of reading. They also attracted some of the best commentators to argue through the daily news events the staff would select for discussion.

Shabbos Noshes

A few newsworthy tidbits for you to nosh on as Shabbos rapidly approaches...

PBS' Tomlinson Resigns

Score a win for the socialists. Kenneth Tomlinson had come to oversee PBS with the intention of clearing out some of the dismal liberal bias at the Proletariat Broadcast System. This was a grand and noble effort on his part to take on the left at their epicenter, but the brown shirts rebelled with a vengeance and has now emerged victorious. Forget neutrality or objectivity at PBS; the leftist intelligentsia remains in power at the taxpayers expense.

Yassir Sharon Capitulates Again

Sharon in September: "We will never agree that this terrorist organization, this armed terrorist organization, will participate in the elections."

Sharon today: "Never mind."

It is once again clear that Sharon's body has been possessed by the spirit of Yassir Arafat, as yet another cowardly gift has been mystifyingly handed to moslem terrorists seeking to destroy Israel. For some mindboggling reason, after meeting with Condi Rice, Sharon has decided that it is really an "internal Palestinian matter" rather than the creation of a terrorist state. In the wake of Sharon's expulsion things just keep going from bad to worse.

Moslem Rioting in France Hits Week 2

Ahhh...the French now reap what they sew. Nice to see that these Euro dhimmis, who arrogantly thought that the moslem filth would be so impressed with their "good will gestures" and "enlightened socialist culture" they'd just drop islam and westernize, now get exactly what they asked for: ISLAMIC HELL.

As we speak, Paris is consumed in flames, women and children are being killed, and the police are being overrun. Moslem youth are calling for the jihad to take over France and create an islamic state. We knew this was coming, gang, but even MZ is surprised to see the free fall of France into moslem domination begin this soon. I figured it would take another 10-15 years before the power challenge would begin to take place...but, it is here and now.

How soon until they beg for US intervention?


Good Shabbos!

Remembering Ghandi

Though I'm certain many of you have never heard of him, if there is one Zionist visionary whom the Madzionist reveres more than any other it would be the late, great Rehavam Ze'evi, or "Ghandi" as many affectionately called him. It now marks four years since Ze'evi was shot dead in a Jerusalem hotel by, you guessed it, terrorist moslems, on Oct. 17th, 2001.

So, who was this man that the Madzionist looks up to with such deep reverence? Born in Jerusalem in 1926, Ze'evi was a seventh generation sabra (native Israeli) who went on to have a great military career, retiring as the Commander of Central Command in 1973 with the rank of Major General.

He next served as terror advisor to PM Yitzhak Rabin, then became the Prime Minister of Intelligence, and later the director of the Land of Israel Museum in Tel-Aviv.

But what he is best remembered for was his plan calling for the population transfer of all the 'Palestinians' out of Gaza, Judea and Samaria and into Jordan as the only viable solution to the Arab/Israeli conflict. As we can see today, Ghandi was indeed a visionary because instead of moving the moslems out of Israel, as he insisted must be done, we've instead seen the dark reality of population transfer used against the Jews as an act of capitulation by Yassir Sharon's appeasement government.

Obviously known as a fierce nationalist who did not hesitate to stand up to Arab MK's in the Knesset, Ze'evi was also was admired by many of his political enemies for his kind and honest ways and love of Eretz Yisroel.

Unfortunately, he is often mistaken by those less familiar with Israeli politics for the more radical Meir Kahane, who was himself assassinated by moslems in 1990. Kahane was an advocate of pan-Israel expansion beyond her borders, and had a virtually genocidal strategy against Arabs and secularist Jews.

Ze'evi was not such a man. To be sure, he wanted the Arabs out of Israel to make The Land whole again, and leftist Jews certainly had big problems with this viewpoint, but Ghandi knew it was the only way for real peace to exist in The Land, and, as we all can see today, he's been proven to be absolutely right.

His legacy lives on with the National Union Party and his successor Benny Elon. Elon has himself proven to be a great man in his own right, and has formed Ze'evi's prophetic population transfer vision into a plan called the Right Road to Peace.

Today, Ghandi's National Union Party is stronger than ever, comprising 9 MK's compared to 3 at the time of his assassination. Ze'evi was in fact memorialized yesterday in a special ceremony attended by knesset members friend and foe alike. Among those who spoke were PM Sharon, Bibi Netanyahu, Benny Elon, Tommy Lapid, Ruby Rivlin and many others.

He may be gone, but his greatness lives on -- though perhaps not as famously to those less familiar with the inner workings of Israel. God willing, his vision will become a reality that all of us will celebrate soon and in our days.

Freshmen class axed by totalitarian left

In an effort to make Amherst Regional High School in Massachusetts conform to militant feminist orthodoxy, the school's administration has officially banned the name "freshmen" from the school's lexicon in favor of the generic term "9th grade".

It seems that the word "freshmen" is now considered oppressively male chauvinistic in this liberal New England town because of the word's masculine second syllable. As reported in WorldNetDaily, "Although Amherst is the first high school in the nation to ban the words "freshman" and "freshmen" from all official uses, the trend began in some local colleges – including Amherst, Smith and Mount Holyoke.

Said crackpot Bolshevik assistant principal for student support, Marta M. Guevara, "We just want to have a conversation and have a dialogue and see what makes sense to our school. We want conversation, we want for kids to bring forward their thinking. It's a great conversation to make them aware of the possible misogynistic, oppressive or non-inclusive language."

The idea to rid the school of all language with masculine connotation began to take shape two years ago during Amherst's "Violence Against Women Week", that culminated with a student production of the controversial male bashing play, "The Vagina Monologues".

No word yet as to whether male students will be permitted to continue urinating in traditional bathroom stalls, or if those stalls will be replaced with less sexist restrooms that will require males to sit when relieving themselves.

Also, Guavara would not confirm or deny the rumor that all male students will be forced to write letters of apology to the female student body for having been born into the gender which has historically oppressed and abused women, started all wars, committed most of the world's violent crime, and has continued to show very little compassion for the emotional needs of women everywhere.

Good thing we are pouring so much money into public education, eh? Well, at least the Pledge of Allegience and the Ten Commandments have been banned to protect our kids from unwanted indoctrination.

Now Israel Kills Fugitives?

The latest example of anti-Israel bias in the liberal mainstream media is just too much.

Let's see, they used to call Arabs who murdered Jewish civilians "terrorists", but that was deemed offensive to moslems so they changed it to "militants", but that too was considered insensitive to the delicate moslem sensibilities so they changed it to "insurgents", but that too has apparently been labeled politically incorrect, so now those who slaughter innocent Jewish bystanders are being referred to in the press as...drum roll please...FUGITIVES!

As you probably know, earlier today the IDF took out 2 top ranked 'Palestinian' terrorists, Hassan Madhoun of the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades and Fawzi Abu Kara of Hamas, in a targeted missile strike of the vehicle they were driving in Gaza. These two moslem piles of dung were responsible for several attacks against Jewish civilians in Israel, including last week's deadly suicide bombing and many other rocket attacks that have claimed at least 20 innocent lives.

Yet, the way Yahoo News is reporting it we should probably be weaping in sorrow for the loss of these kind, fun loving fugitive buddies at the hands of the bloodthirsty Jews. Renowned AP anti-Semite 'journalist', IBRAHIM BARZAK, has filed the slanted story which lovingly refers to the wanted muderers as "fugitives" in an article that couldn't be more pro-Palestinian if he tried -- and I'm sure he tried.

Let's all do a l'chaim or two in celebration of the moslem filth that the IDF killed today. The fact is, many lives were saved by snuffing out these animals.

Alito Nomination Angers Socialists

Thank you, George Bush! After watching the putrid selection of the grossly underqualified Harriet Miers blow up in his face, Bush finally wised up and picked an exceptionally qualified candidate who is clearly the staunch judicial constructionist that us conservatives have been demanding.

Known as "Scalito" for his Scalia-like judicial philosophy, Sam Alito offers the real swing vote we need to abolish horrid leftwing rulings permitting partial birth abortion, affirmative action and gay marriage against the will of the voters.

Eminently qualified, Alito graduated from Yale law school, was U.S. attorney for the district of New Jersey, 1987-1990; deputy assistant to the U.S. attorney general, 1985-1987; and assistant to the U.S. solicitor general, 1981-1985, has argued 12 Supreme Court cases as a federal prosecutor, and for the last 15 years served as a Judge on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals.

Predictably, leftist quislings like Ted Kennedy and Charles Schumer have blown a gasket over the Alito nomination.

Said Kennedy without bothering to take qualifications into consideration:

"Rather than selecting a nominee for the good of the nation and the court, President Bush has picked a nominee whom he hopes will stop the massive hemorrhaging of support on his right wing. This is a nomination based on weakness, not strength."

Schumer's reaction was equally radical and unrelated to the suitability of Alito:

"It is sad that the president felt he had to pick a nominee likely to divide America instead of choosing a nominee in the mold of Sandra Day O'Connor, who would unify us. This controversial nominee, who would make the court less diverse and far more conservative, will get very careful scrutiny from the Senate and from the American people."

If it's bad for Schumer and bad for Kennedy then it must be good for America. Sam Alito, you have earned the Madzionist's endorsement for the Supreme Court.

Cowardice at the Temple Mount

Why is the tail wagging the dog in Israel? At the Temple Mount, which is the holiest of holy Jewish sites, the Israeli government continues to bow in unabashed dhimmitude to the vile moslems.

This from IsraelNationalNews:

The Supreme Court has ordered a change to its ruling allowing Jews to pray on the Temple Mount on the Sukkot holiday. The Jews may visit, but not pray there. A ruling had been issued allowing members of the Temple Mount Faithful to ascend to Judaism's holiest site and pray there during the weeklong Sukkot holiday.

The ruling went a step further than previous rulings of this type, and permitted the Jews to actually pray there - until it was noticed by the alert State representatives. The Moslem Waqf, which controls the holy site's day-to-day operations, has long objected to Jewish prayer at the site. Israel's police, government and courts, unwilling to take a chance of violence breaking out, have gone along with the Waqf's dictates.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's the point of fighting to have a Jewish State when the Temple Mount is considered expendable? How the Supreme Court of the Jewish State can voluntarily cede control of this cite to moslems out of fear of reprisal makes one wonder what it's all about anyhow? Is it just about keeping all the trendy shops and restaurants in Tel Aviv?

Something is very, very wrong with this picture.

Bush Sucks Up To Abbas

In a display worthy of a vomit bag, President Bush showered Fatah terrorist organization chief Mahmoud Abbas with gushing ass-kisses at a White House rose garden press conference yesterday. A more pitiful act of dhimmitude would be difficult to imagine, so I have decided to share with you some of the more nauseating moments of this disturbing spectacle.

WARNING: the following could cause terrible wretching. Please read with caution.

Bush: "President Abbas is a man devoted to peace and to his people's aspirations for a state of their own. And today the Palestinian people are closer to realizing those aspirations."

MZ Reaction: Pardon me? This man heads an organization whose charter calls for the eradication of the State of Israel. Any "state of their own" that they are closer realizing is the one that will come once the Jews are thrown into the sea so that a moslem nation can be created in its place.

Bush: "Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and parts of West Bank was a bold decision, with historic significance. President Abbas and the Palestinian Authority contributed to the success of the withdrawal in significant ways. Mr. President, thank you."

MZ Reaction: The way Abbas contributed to Israel's withdrawal from Gaza was using terrorism to scare Ariel Sharon into expelling the Jews and handing the Land over to the Arabs. Since the expulsion, Abbas has publicly praised the jihadi martyrs and Yassir Arafat for making the Israeli retreat possible, called for them to continue their efforts, and facilitated massive weapons smuggling into New Judenrein Gaza from Egypt.

Bush: "Now, Mr. President, you ran on a platform of peace. That's why the people voted for you. I strongly support your rejection of terror and your commitment to what you have called one authority, one law, and one gun."

MZ Reaction: "A platform of peace", huh. What BULL SH-T! Abbas ran on the terrorist accomplishments of his Al-Aqhsa Martyrs Brigade, and still finds himself in trouble politically because Hamas has managed to out Jew-kill them. Last week, Abbas had the Al-Aqhsa Martyrs kill three Jewish civilians in a drive by shooting to try propping up his political support before coming to Washington.

Bush: "The way forward must include rebuilding the Palestinian economy. This goal has the support of the Quartet: the United States, the United Nations, the European Union, and Russia."

MZ Reaction: Translation: "We will continue to fund terrorism by throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at Fatah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad."

Bush: "The way forward must continue to include democratic elections. The upcoming elections for the Palestinian Legislative Council offer an opportunity to open the door to the next generation of Palestinian leaders. They'll be responsible for building a peaceful and hopeful future for their country."

MZ Reaction: The upcoming elections are between candidates from Fatah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. All three "parties" are running for office promising the destruction of Israel and the creation of a moslem state. That it is also written in all three of their charters makes me sure we can trust they will be "building a peaceful and hopeful future" for the Jewish State. Next, we'll see Bin Laden being praised at the White House and told Al Qaida is part of "building a peaceful and hopeful future" for America.

Bush: "Israel should not undertake any activity that contravenes its road map obligations, or prejudices the final status negotiations with regard to Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. This means that Israel must remove unauthorized posts and stop settlement expansion."

MZ Reaction: Of course! Israel must concede more land and expel more Jews! That's always the best way to gain peace with the terrorists. TWO - FOUR - SIX - EIGHT, THE JEWS MUST CAPITULATE!

Bush: "I appreciate your service, Mr. President. I assured him that the United States will use our influence to help realize a shared vision of two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, living side-by-side in peace and security."

MZ Reaction: Well, that seems reasonable. One state, Israel, will be located in the Mediterranean Sea, while the other, Palestine-Jordan, will be located in all the land west of the Jordan River. Nice job, Mr. President.

Expelled then Disengaged

OK, now I finally get what Yassir Sharon really meant by his Gaza disengagement plan. First, expel the Jews from Gaza, THEN disengage the evictees from Israel once it's done.

According to a report from Israel National News, the sad reality for the evictees is that most have been left homeless and wandering since the State of Israel turned its military upon them to appease the Arabs two months ago.

"No democratic country should ever abandon its citizens like this," stated MK Dr. Uzi Landau on Wednesday after viewing the conditions of Jews expelled from Gush Katif and northern Samaria.

Left to live in horrible makeshift tent cities and eating in soup kitchens, these once successful, hard working Jews have cried out to the government that's abandoned them for the financial assistance they had been promised. To date, there is no indication of when or if that aid will be made available.

Said Landau, "There was a disengagement, and there are now ten thousand people here who need to be taken care of." He added that it was time to demand a more humane response from the Prime Minister's Office, and that he hoped the issue would also stir the members of the Knesset and the general public. "Let's put the politics to one side and just help the evictees."

Now, if another nation's leader hated Jews and hated Israel enough to do something like this the outpouring of support for these Jews, and condemnation of the government responsible for their plight, would be overwhelming from the American Jewish community. Yet, the silence is deafening.

So, the question that begs to be asked is this: Why is the Jewish communal world not screaming for social justice? How come there are no statements at all from our great, charitable, do-gooder organizations on the evictees behalf?

The answer is pure politics. The liberal Jewish establishment is only interested in supporting the plight of LIBERAL Jews, and since the "settlers" were viewed as right wingers they are coldly left to suffer without a single finger being lifted in their defense.

Save the whales? Great, liberal Jewish America sends the check. A militant homosexual cause that needs extra funding? You got it! A check is on the way! Someone tried to put up a menorah in a public square? Send in the big bucks to make them take it down!

But, about 10,000 mostly observant Jews are forcibly left homeless and hungry by military force, and then denied their promised financial aid to boot? Let them eat cake!

A disgraceful shondah, indeed.

BTW, if you care to donate to the needy evictees, please go to One Israel Fund

3 Jews dead 5 wounded in Fatah Terror Attack

The bloodletting continues in the "Palestinian" jihad to exterminate the Jews and the State of Israel. Despite Yassir Sharon's Gaza capitulation, and his recent decision to release hundreds of convicted terrorists from Israeli jails to appease the Arabs, Fatah Party chairman Mahmoud Abbas continues to oversee terrorist attacks against the Jews in Judea/Samaria.

The latest attacks on Sunday left 3 Jews dead and 5 more hospitalized from a drive-by shooting executed by the Fatah Party's Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades.

The names of the dead:

*Oz Ben-Meir, a 9th-grade student in the Yeshiva High School.
*Matat Adler, 21, who was married just 3 months ago, and her cousin...
*Kineret Mandel, 23, who was the first girl born in Carmel after her parents had been evicted from the Sinai in the peace concession with Egypt.

Forcing an intimidated Ariel Sharon to expel the Jews from the West Bank via terrorism is the strategy Mr. Abbas and his ruling Fatah Party have chosen - just as they did with the help of Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza.

The Arab watchdog site, IMRA, reports that the Voice of Palestine Radio, the official voice of Mahmoud Abbas's Palestinian Authority, declared Sunday night that the attacks on Israelis were carried out by members of the Fatah organization headed by PLO leader Mahmoud Abbas.

In response, Israel has temporarily suspended some "Palestinian" private vehicle movement in the West Bank, and also suspended for the time being further terrorist prisoner releases. These measures are widely seen as a token effort at best to quiet angry critics of Prime Minister Sharon's continued concessions and "good will gestures" to the terrorist moslems.

Unfortunately, there is no stopping the Sharon capitulation machine from bowing to further "Palestinian" demands in the wake of his Likud Central Committee referendum victory that guaranteed his coalition with the anti-Zionist Labor/Meretz Parties will continue until next April's general elections.

I wish for all of my family, friends and bloggers that you will be granted forgiveness and be sealed in God's book of life on Yom Kippur. If you happen to be fasting this year, may you have an easy fast (and a delicious break fast!). I'd also like to say that if I may have inadvertently hurt or offended any of you this past year (and knowing me, that's a distinct possibility) may I offer my sincerest apologies and ask for your forgiveness.

Be well, and may the coming year bring much simchas and nachas for us all!

Kumbaya and Mazal Tov

Sometimes you read something that just makes you stop, shake your head, and wonder what in the hell is happening with the world. Today was one of those moments, as I read about the latest abomination out of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Berkley.

According to a report in today's JTA from Sue Fishkoff, apparantly only 22% of the Jews in the bay area are affiliated with a synagogue. The other 78% seem to have completely lost their minds.

Here are some juicy excerpts of liberalism run amok for your entertainment pleasure.

"Sam Sontag’s parents wanted him to have a bar mitzvah, but they aren’t religious and felt it would be hypocritical to join a congregation. Shalva Sorani is active in her Berkeley, Calif., congregation, but when she faced a mastectomy her friends wanted a female rabbi to lead their all-women healing circle.

These are some of the people served by Rachel Brodie and Julie Batz, founders and co-directors of The Ritualist, a Bay Area-based nonprofit that researches and supports independent Jewish life-cycle rituals. "

ALL WOMEN HEALING CIRCLE? Well, is it time for group vomiting to the tune of kumbaya yet? No... you need more, you say?

OK, here's more:

"'It’s a growing trend nationwide,' Brodie says. A Jewish educator who holds a master’s degree from the Conservative movement’s Jewish Theological Seminary, Brodie says people began asking her to do their Jewish ceremonies almost a decade ago. The phenomenon is going on especially in the San Francisco Bay Area, a region with particularly low affiliation rates."

Look, if the Conservative movement has fallen this far under the spell of liberalism I can see why they are losing membership nationwide. Perhaps she's just a renegade "Rabbi" who's not representative of Conservative Judaism, but who the hell knows anymore?

And lastly:

"As the two women built up their database of facilitators, and as more Jews heard of their work and started contacting them, they found themselves providing a personal referral service. Some, says Batz,”are on the margins of the Jewish community,” often because they’re interracial or interfaith couples, or are gay or lesbian. They want to mark life-cycle events Jewishly, but don’t feel comfortable in traditional congregations."

OK, what the hell is this "life cycle event" crap? I'm guessing it's the first time a man puts on a dress. The first time one has sex with a donkey. The first time one tries heroin. We certainly need to have a Jewish experience for all those special Kodak moments, so everybody get ready...

And a one.
And a two.
And a three.

Kumbaya and mazal tov and mazal tov and kumbaya - PUUUKKE ... HEEAAVE ... BAARRFF!!

Such simchas, such nachas, I'm just kvelling.

A Little Reminder

Just a little reminder for you folks of exactly what the Fatah Party, led by Mahmoud Abbas, is really all about.

With all the mind numbing capitulations and concessions delivered from Ariel Sharon to Mr. Abbas, including, but not limited to, giving his outspoken support for the Fatah Party over Hamas in the "Palestinian" elections, acquiescing to Abbas' demands to release thousands of moslem terrorists from Israeli prisons, eradicating Jewish Gaza at Abbas' behest, and the targeted killings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad leadership while protecting Mahmoud Abbas and his Al Ahqsa Brigades, one gets the impression that the Fatah Party must be a real peace partner looking for a cozy state of their own side-by-side with Israel.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Look at this from the Fatah charter:

Article 9: Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.

Article 15: It is a national duty to repulse the Zionist imperialist invasion from the great Arab homeland and to purge the Zionist presence from Palestine.

Article 22: The liberation of Palestine will liquidate the Zionist and imperialist presence and bring about the stabilization of peace in the Middle East.

Liquidate the Zionists? Can you imagine if Israel had a constitution which called for the total liquidation of the Arabs? I bet the EU would love that.

Truth be told, Abbas and Fatah are interested in one thing and one thing only: the total annihilation of the Jewish State and genocide of the Jewish people. No amount of "good will gestures" or "Land for Peace" concessions will change this fact.

And don't forget it.

Surprise! More Good Will Gestures

Only the most dimwitted of dullards didn't see that the Gaza expulsion would lead to many more concessions, capitulations, retreats and myriads of other "good will gestures" designed to appease the frothing, primitive moslem masses.

The next act of dhimmitude? RELEASE MORE TERRORISTS FROM PRISON!

From Arutz Sheva News: A "good will" offer to free more Arab prisoners, in addition to the 900 already released, was confirmed by Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, who also heads the Committee on Prisoner Release. Ra'anan Gissin, spokesman for Sharon, remarked, "We are ready to provide Abu Mazen [Abbas] with gestures, but it requires Abu Mazen to help himself."

Yes, this time Sharon really, really, really, really means no more terrorism against Israel. Any more Kassam rockets launched into Jewish communities in Israel and he may just have to unilaterally throw the Jews into the sea!

a. Republican
b. Democrat

2). "I don't just automatically salute or take a deep bow anytime a nominee is sent up. I have to find out who these people are, and right now, I'm not satisfied with what I know. I'm not comfortable with the nomination, so we'll just have to work through the process in due time."

a. Republican
b. Democrat

3). "There are a lot more people – men, women and minorities – that are more qualified in my opinion by their experience than she is."

a. Republican
b. Democrat

4). “I like Harriet Miers...I am also impressed with the fact that she was a trailblazer for women as managing partner of a major Dallas law firm and as the first woman president of the Texas Bar Association.

a. Republican
b. Democrat

(correct answers: #1-3, Republican senator Trent Lott. #4. Democrat senator Harry Reid)

Bush Nominates Miers for High Court

Well, what do we think, gang? My early impression of Bush's choice for the Supreme Court vacancy is "blecchhh". In addition to being 60yrs old but looking 81, Mz. Miers has very little on her resume to justify her nomination to the High Court bench. She has never been a judge, has not argued cases before the Supreme Court, had been championed as a nominee to President Bush by radical leftist leader, Harry Reid, and, worst of all, donated money to the presidential campaign of Al Gore back in '87 and the DNC in '88.

To me, it seems like Bush sold out his base in an effort to get a pat on the back from his liberal opponents in the Democrat Party. Apparently, I'm not alone in my opinion.

Said Bill Krystal on Fox News: "It looks like he flinched. It looks like a capitulation."

Look, the reason Bush was elected is that he got a huge turnout from social conservatives who did not want a leftist Supreme Court to legislate the Democrat Party's agenda from the bench. Well, it appears that the worst fears have been realized, as Bush appears to have nominated a candidate more like Souter than Scalia.

John Roberts was considered a fabulous choice by almost everybody because of his brilliance, his incredible success as an attorney arguing before the Supreme Court, and his solid Rhendquist pedigree of conservative ideology. Even the Dems were impressed by the guy, accept for extreme leftists like Biden, Boxer, Kennedy, Kerry, et.al.

But what gives with this hag?

Not qualified, not conservative, and not a good pick, Georgey boy. You really blew it.


L'Shana Tova!
