Lancet: Phony Medicine, Sincere Jew-Hatred
The Lancet Medicine Show is coming to your town.
The Lancet, an allegedly prestigious British medical journal, has retracted claims that vaccines cause Autism.
It's a little late.
Phony medicine kills:
Meanwhile, Britain's child vaccination rates had plummeted to below 70% in some areas, down from more than 90% in the mid-1990s. The country has since suffered waves of measles outbreaks. In 1998 England and Wales had 56 cases; by 2008 the number was 1,370. In 2006, the first British child died of measles in more than a decade.
Meanwhile The Lancet has yet to retract a “study” recently published which claims that Palestinian wife beatings are the fault of—who else?—the Jooz.
Phyllis Chesler reports on the Lancet Blood Libel:
Their study is titled: “Association between exposure to political violence and intimate-partner violence in the occupied Palestinian territory: a cross-sectional study.” And yes, they have found that Palestinian husbands are more violent towards Palestinian wives as a function of the Israeli “occupation”— and that the violence increases significantly when the husbands are “directly” as opposed to “indirectly” exposed to political violence.
I believe that Arab and Muslim men, including Palestinian men, are indeed violent towards Arab and Muslim women. I also believe that war-related stress, including poverty, usually increases “intimate partner violence,” aka male domestic violence. But beyond that, how does one evaluate this study?
Full story here.
This is all part of a well-orchestrated plan to delegitimize the Jewish State. The attacks come every day, from every corner of the globe. The infamous Goldstone Report is a blood libel on an international scale. Ultimately, the Arab Muslim world and her leftist Western apologists are seeking to turn Israel into a pariah state, another South Africa. Israeli passports will no longer be recognized—first in Europe, then South America and finally North America—thus Israel wll be transformed into the final Jewish ghetto, ripe for genocide.
That is the plan.
What is our plan?
Fighting a defensive war is a sure road to defeat.

Shooting in Los Angeles Synagogue
Adat Yeshurun, an Orthodox Sephardic synagogue in Los Angeles.
This story is still breaking, but I'd like to make two quick observations.
1. The entire notion of a hate crime strikes me as a depraved concept where crimes and criminals are categorized by an elite thought police. If the victims were, say, residents in a nursing facility for elderly black people, would that place the crime on a lesser scale? How about when black gangs and Latino gangs fatally clash because, y'know, they hate each other, does that qualify as a hate crime? Favored victim status is, in itself, a crime against democracy and justice.
2. Synagogues in America and Canada must take the issue of security seriously, right up there with prayer and Torah study. Unarmed rent-a-cops are close to useless. I believe that Jews who attend synagogue must be armed and trained. Synagogues should find out who of their membership is proficient in armed self-defense and institute a home guard. A few years ago, Muslim prisoners in a California prison hatched a plot to attack two local Orthodox synagogues. Luckily, an inmate turned snitch and the plot was broken up. But the plan was horrendous and hundreds would have died. Islamist cells—virulently anti-Semitic—in America and Canada, funded by Saudi Wahhabi petro dollars are highly motivated, and sooner or later they will turn their attention to a soft Jewish target. We must be ready to defend ourselves.
Los Angeles police have detained a man in the search for the suspect who shot and wounded two men at a synagogue in North Hollywood. The incident is being labeled a hate crime.
The shooting occurred at 6:19 a.m. Thursday at the Adat Yeshurun Valley Sephardic synagogue in the 12000 block of Sylvan Street.
According to a police statement, a man with a handgun entered the synagogue and shot two people in the leg in what is being labeled as a hate crime.
The victims, both Jewish, were transported to a local hospital in stable condition, officials said. It's believed the men, said to be in their 30s, were shot as they arrived at the temple for morning prayers.
The suspect was described only as a black man.
Police were later seen detaining a young man matching the suspect's description about one mile away from the crime scene.
The synagogue is located next to an elementary school. It was not immediately known whether the suspect search affected the school.
The attack occurred 10 miles away from a 1999 shooting at a Jewish community center where white supremacist Buford Furrow wounded three children, a teenager and an adult. He later killed a letter carrier.
Police arrest a suspect in the Adat Yeshurun shooting.

Jew-hatred: The New Cool
Cartoon by Hugh MacLeod.
As the Van Jones scandal broke—on the blogosphere via Gateway Pundit, and on Fox's Glenn Beck—I turned to Karen and said:
“Guaranteed, this guy is also a gold-played Jew-hater.”
Not a hard call.
As you move leftward on the political scale so does the level and tolerance of Jew-hatred.
This oldest of hatreds is dressed up in the Orwellian language of human rights, social justice, and support for the Palestinian people. But it's the same gutter-level Jew-hatred that gripped Nazi Germany, and which now animates the entire Arab Muslim world.
Jew-hatred comes in many guises.
Human Rights Watch, as my friend Omri Ceren has just uncovered, employs a Nazi fan boy to investigate Israel.
Jimmy Carter, Desmond Tutu and Mary Robinson—calling themselves The Elders, because Jew-hatred is the new wisdom—travel around Israel and self-righteously cluck about the evil Israelis.
Question: Why aren't they in Iran, Congo, Libya, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Syria, Saudi Arabia, where murder, torture and rape are sport?
Answer: Because there are no Jews in these blighted Lands.
Van Jones: ignored by ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, The New York Times, the entire MSM. But now that this loathsome creature, a 9-11 truther, is gone, the MSM are piling on, defending a self-confessed Communist and now revealed, a Jew-hater.
Here's Van Jones ranting about Israel:
I came to the holy land to get a view of the human rights situation. I was totally unprepared. THE WORST RACIAL PRACTICES OF THE LAST CENTURY ARE PRESENT HERE, IN SHOCKING COMBINATION. Arab citizens under a pass situation like apartheid... about the harassment of an Arab American in our group at the airport... people in the U.S. don't have a clear view of what is going on.. like 'settlements'... 30,000 people in massive cities, with Burger Kings and malls, and defended with the whole might of the Israeli army... wholesale demolition of Palestinian homes... the US supporting the whole mess.. to see it... to see what it means for Arab people is really really distressing.
I came over here very concerned about Israeli children living in fear... nobody is winning here. WHAT I'VE SEEN HERE GOES FAR BEYOND WHAT COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR SAFETY. ABSOLUTE HOUSE ARREST FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN A CITY... 24/7 FOR WEEKS AT A TIME... NONE OF THIS COULD RATIONALLY BE CONCEIVED OF AS DEFENSE... I HAVE BEEN A LIFELONG OPPONENT OF ANTI-SEMITISM. NOW NOT TO SPEAK OUT HERE IS ANTI-SEMITIC. WE OWE IT TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. AND PALESTINE TO PUT AN END TO THESE KIND OF ABUSES. THERE IS NO DIVISION BETWEEN US POLICY TOWARD IRAQ AND TOWARD ISRAEL-PALESTINE. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ON THE WRONG SIDE OF SANITY. to push Iraq into a corner and threaten it with massive war. We need new leadership in Tel Aviv and Washington.. let's link all these situations together... boldly speaking the truth... I went to the funeral of a young Palestinian boy shot by Israeli soldier... I saw his bloody body being placed into the ground... since I've been here four children killed by soldiers... not being reported by the media... but being recorded in the hearts and minds of the mothers and fathers here.
Entirely predictable: dressing up his Jew-hatred as someone who is an opponent of Jew-hatred. The left has perfected this black flag strategy.
The entire, lunatic transcript is here.
Van Jones is just one in a long line of Obama associates, friends and, ahem, spiritual mentors, who hate America, Israel/Jews.
Here's Charles Krauthammer drawing a line from Jeremiah Wright to Van Jones. “It's a reflection of the boss.”
But of course, to the Democrats, Van Jones is a hero:
How many of Obama's Czars will be revealed—by the blogosphere and Fox News—as left wing radicals completely out of step with America and American values?
Update #1: Our friend Jake Novak, senior producer at Fox Business News draws our attention to John Holdren, Obama's Science Czar—and a genuine moon bat.

Wide-Angle: Toronto Film Festival Jew-Haters
Yesterday we asked: Why Are Jews Liberals?
Today we observe that the left is a comfortable home for Jew-hatred.
I know the defense: these creatures are not really Jew-haters, they are, ahem, “nuanced thinkers,” protesting the policies of the state of Israel.
Yeah, the way Iran, Hamas and Hizbullah protest.
Look, 50,000 people die in the Congo every month from murder, forced starvation and disease. Mass rape is sport in that blighted land. There are 1.2 million refugees from the Congo living in the most deplorable conditions.
But these, uh, artists, choose to beat up on Israel.
And Tel-Aviv is a problem?
Huh?
Tel Aviv was sand dunes—not an Arab village—until Jews built it into a great city. But the Arab Muslim world considers all Israel to be occupied land.
Thus it's clear that these celebrity boycotters are really protesting Israel's existence.
Or, maybe they are just ill-informed idiots.
One of the great ironies of this protest is that John Greyson, one of the boycotters, makes gay-themed films. Now, let me ask a simple question:
What country in the Middle east would allow Greyson to screen his films?
Israel, of course.
If he tried to show his films in Gaza, Iran, Libya, Algeria, Egypt, Syria, etc. he would be lynched in the public square. Saudi Arabia would behead Greyson.
And of course, Danny Glover has cozied up to Hugo Chavez, a tyrant who is leading a policy of repression against Venezuela's Jews.
Jane Fonda should have been prosecuted for sedition back when she posed with her North Vietnamese buddies by an anti-aircraft installation. But she was a Hollywood celebrity, thus hands-off.
The Hebrew reads: Don't Tread on Me. via: Joshua Pundit
Make no mistake about it, this is Jew-hatred disguised as “mere anti-Zionism.” These people are the fashionable lap dogs of the PLO, Hamas and Hizbullah, self-confessed Jew-hating terrorists who boast that their long-term strategy is to eradicate Israel and Jews from the face of the earth.
Some 50 celebrities, artists and filmmakers, including actors Jane Fonda and Danny Glover, musician David Byrne and filmmaker Ken Loach, have accused the Toronto International Film Festival of "complicity with the Israeli propaganda machine" over its spotlight this year on Tel Aviv.
The 2009 festival will present 10 films by local filmmakers on the Israeli metropolis, for its City to City program, which each year focuses its lens on a different city.
The choice led to protests that the film festival was "staging a propaganda campaign" on Israel's behalf, given "the absence of Palestinian filmmakers in the program," said an open letter to festival organizers, AFP reported.
Full story here.
My good friend, two-time Oscar winner, Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, blasted everyone who signed the letter.
