Three days ago, in Pakistan, 80 Muslim worshipers, members of the minority Ahmadiyya sect, were butchered in their Mosque by, um, Muslim homicide bombers.
The police arrested one terrorist.
Three days later, Muslim terrorists stormed the hospital where the survivors were being treated, and murdered six more Muslims in an attempt to free their terrorist buddy.
Gunmen stormed a Pakistani hospital where doctors were treating the victims of an earlier suicide attack on Monday, killing at least six people in an attempt to free a militant being treated there, officials said.
The assault came three days after two teams of Islamist extremists armed with guns, grenades and suicide vests killed more than 80 worshipers belonging to a minority Muslim sect.
One of the captured militants and about 30 survivors of the Friday attack were being treated at Jinnah Hospital in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore.
Witnesses said visitors, hospital staff and security guards were killed when at least three gunmen dressed in police uniforms opened fire shortly before midnight.
“They barged into the hospital building and opened indiscriminate fire,” said Javed Ikram, chief executive of the hospital.
Armoured police vehicles raced to the scene as one militant climbed on to the roof and began shooting at officers.
The attackers later fled in a police vehicle without rescuing the injured gunman.
Friday’s attacks on two mosques targeted members of the Ahmadi sect, who are routinely persecuted by mainstream Muslims for their belief that their founder was a prophet.
Full story here.
I don’t know about you, but this seems to qualify as an atrocity.
Maybe even, drumroll please, Islamaphobia.
So, I’m pleased to see all the concerned humanitarians out in the street protesting this crime against Muslims.
Let’s go to the videotape:
Whoops.
I guess that’s a different protest.
As you can see, a mob of drooling, Jew-hating Islamists had to be separated by the Los Angeles police from a single brave Jew—a high school student, a Daniel in the lion’s den—or he would have been lynched.
We should all be proud of this young man.
Listen to the gentle cooing of “Allahu Akhbar,” directed at the Jewish student. No doubt a sincere prayer for peace and harmony. No way is it a call to jihad because as the chattering classes tell us jihad is, um, the Islamic form of yoga, a means of self-improvement.
Pay particular attention to the woman at the 6:40 mark who is quite honest about the two-state solution: “The Jews can live in a Palestinian state, there should not be an Israeli state…”
Ah, some clarity.
Meanwhile, 80 Muslims were murdered in their Mosque during prayers and not one protest by outraged Muslims or so-called humans rights activists.
The lesson kids: Muslims can butcher Muslims with impunity. Totally cool.
But if Jews dare defend themselves against Islamist violence, well, that’s just wrong.
Baruch HaShem, thank G-d, In Israel, there are numerous demonstrations supporting the mission and the IDF.
To this day, Turkey denies their planned genocide of the Armenian people..
Am Yisroel Chai, The Jewish people will endure forever.
Hey, Turkey, talk about occupation, you guys are the experts. Kurdistan happens to be a strong ally of America and Israel. There are still churches in Kurdistan where services are in Aramaic, the language of the Talmud. A close friend—we attended Yeshiva together—who attended such a church told me that he understood every word and the experience brought tears to his eyes.

Meanwhile, in America, guess who’s Israel’s most vocal and articulate defender?
Yup, Sarah Palin, who regularly wears a lapel pin with the American and Israeli flags.
The media, as usual, seems to be reporting only one side of the Israeli Flotilla incident. Don’t trust the mainstream media to give you both sides of a story fairly… you must seek out fair reporting to ensure you have all the information.
As far too many in the media, and in various governments, rush to condemn Israel, we must put the recent events off Israel’s coast into the right perspective. This “relief” convoy was not about humanitarian aid, as the liberal mainstream media keeps reporting. The whole operation was designed to provoke Israel, not to provide supplies to Palestinians held hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Anyone who sees the video of Israeli commandos being attacked as they land on that ship knows the people aboard were vicious thugs, not “peace activists.” The media insults our intelligence with their outright mischaracterization of who these enemies are.
Israel delivers thousands of tons of humanitarian supplies every week to Gaza. These ships could have offloaded their cargoes at a nearby Israeli port if they really wanted to help the people of Gaza. Instead, they chose to incite confrontation and violence. Israel has a right to prevent arms shipments to Gaza that will be used to target innocent Israelis, so they were legitimately checking the cargo on the flotilla.
Turkey has chosen to condemn Israel but we should be asking some serious questions about Turkey’s role in this whole affair. Why is a fellow member of NATO sponsoring such a dangerous publicity stunt?As one expert points out: “Three ships of that six-ship pro-terror convoy flew Turkish flags and were crowded with Turkish citizens. The Ankara government – led by Islamists these days – sponsored the ‘aid’ operation in a move to position itself as the new champion of the Palestinians. And Turkish decision-makers knew Israel would have to react
– and were waiting to exploit the inevitable clash. The provocation was as cynical as it was carefully orchestrated.”

But hey, American Jewish liberals, keep mocking Sarah Palin, it is, afterall, all the fashion.
Ariel Chaim Avrech, ZT'L, May His Righteous Memory be a Blessing.

How blind the world can be! It bothers me how willingly they accept the lies spread by groups that so loudly proclaim their hatred for Israel and their desire to wipe it off the planet. I’m not Jewish, but I support their right to defend their borders. I’ve seen the video. The Israeli soldiers acted in self-defence. They should not be condemned for trying to protect themselves.

I just spotted this about 2 of Obama’s Chicago Neighbors helping the blockade protesters:
Ayers, Dorhn helped organize ‘peace’ flotilla
It’s not like these people don’t have enough blood on their hands already:
Former Weather Underground leaders William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, as well as Code Pink founder Jodie Evans, helped organize the Free Gaza Movement, which launched the six-ship flotilla from Turkey to Israel that ended in a violent clash with Israeli Defense Forces, BigGovernment.com reported.
In January, the trio were spotted in Egypt attempting to stir up crowds on the streets with 1,400 other left-wing activists after the Egyptian government refused to allow Free Gaza Movement members to enter the Gaza Strip. About 100 marchers were eventually allowed to cross the border, where they were met by former Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniyeh.
BigGovernment quotes author Philip Weiss, who wrote that he witnessed Ayers and Dohrn arguing with fellow activists over whether to accept Egypt ‘s offer to allow a small number of them into Gaza :

EO> The only good that may come out of this is the political maturation of the President.
I actually more or less agree with that, although he really was there already in some ways (with regard to Pakistan) and is also not there at all.
It is not enough not to repeat lies. He also has to tell the truth.
EO> I think this could be a game changer for the President,
Not yet. It will take a few more iterations to get him to where he needs to be.

The only good that may come out of this is the political maturation of the President. Both the President and Secretary of State have acted with a measure of discretion. They know that they are in a very delicate situation. To criticize Israel over this incident, is to criticize the rule of law, upon which we depend for a somewhat predictable universe and upon which we base the authority for our own security forces. The emotionally heated rhetoric swaying world opinion is absurd. Israel was carrying out a routine operation, entirely consistent with international maritime law. They did not provoke, attack or even raid the boat as the Post has reported (dropped they NYT years ago now must drop Post) but rather warned the boat repeatedly and attempted to board the boat to divert it to port where the cargo could be inspected. The handful of navy soldiers were viciously and relentlessly beaten by a mob with lead pipes.
In the West we recognize the right of police, Coast Guard, military and border patrol to carry arms and use if they are attacked. The police are trained to shoot to kill, not to wound. I’ve never really quite understood that but then I’m not an expert. What I do know is that the mob had no legal right to attack a legitimate policing authority and nine died pursuing a fatal course of action. To argue by analogy, if I were stopped by the police and I pulled out a baseball bat and started beating the officer a defending officer would have every right to use deadly force and would be exonerated in the event of my death. If Americans are shocked by the incident, the press and media should be held accountable for confusing the elements of the story and not presenting a concise statement of fact and applicable law. An article in yesterday’s post was a journalistic embarrassment and the op-ed pieces misconstrue the incident and, in doing so, misinform the public. Propaganda? I feel like I’m trapped in the infernal sunshine of seventh grade political theory.
Well Hail to the Chief. His silence on the subject is deafening. He knows full well that after the journalists dissemble and columnists bloviate, only admissible evidence and applicable law will be decisive. He can take the leadership to support the rule of law or the West can descend into madness. He is after all, a professor of law, and the implications of this situation are not lost on him or on Secretary Clinton. I think this could be a game changer for the President, the US and the Israel. Or so we can pray. As odious as these newspapers are, I think it is important for everyone to get on the blogs and keep posting. Repeat, and keep repeating the indisputable facts. Point out the journalistic errors. Criticize individual writers. Do it calmly and avoid the obvious charge of antisemitism. Let the reader conclude that. You will gain more points. Those blogs are reviewed.

Tears came to my eyes – not when the kid first came on the scene, but when it switched to the obviously secular Israelis who were there also…
In the original Texas Rangers television show, the opening sequence starts out with one Texas Ranger and the theme song. He starts walking and another ranger joins him, then another, then another until there is a whole crowd, walking proud and tall -
“They’re Ranger’s sworn to duty
Their work is never through
They fight and fight for justice
To enforce the law for you.”
I am a 13th generation American. Even when I was a stupid long haired doped out hippie freak, I still loved this country.
Our President has now twice cursed the Jews. If he goes for the hat trick, I am seriously, not rhetorically, considering making aliyah.
I fear for America.
The difference between “them” and “us” is broadcast on this video.
The young man and the other Israelis are simply standing up voicing their, often inarticulate, sometimes fumbling, not very eloquent, Love of Israel.
Those who oppose them are vociferously and often articulately voicing their Hate.
Israel voices its Love of Israel in defending Israel.
The world is voicing its Hatred in attacking Israel.

Fox News has been reporting the flotilla incident with incredible candor. They have exposed the flotilla convoy for what it actually was- a terrorist provocation under the guise of ‘humanitarian aid’.
Glenn Beck dedicated an entire episode to the flotilla escapade. He was, as usuall articulate and factual, fully explaining the history of the State of Israel from its inception to the present day.
ישר כח to Fox and its producers.

I don’t understand how women, gays and left-wing Jews can ignore the obvious facts-be taken in by Hamas propaganda-condemn Israel, ignore the obvious fact that this “peace convoy was a publicity stunt, that there is no starvation in Gaza, that no one believes for a minute that there is starvation in Gaza, that the Israeli navy warned the convoy not to approach the Gaza coast, that they told the ships to go to Ashdod if they wanted to unload the supplies. What other country would do that? Take a relief convoy, pretending to believe that the Belfast Catholics are starving, to Belfast and see if the British let you land. The Israelis were prepared to let the convoy land. The commandos boarded the ship armed with paint ball guns, with orders only to shoot if their lives were in danger. The film shows that some of them didn’t shoot, even when their lives were in danger. They were attacked lethally and brutally and they only wanted to stay alive, so some of them shot. For this, the world condemns Israel.
As I said before, I don’t understand how any woman, any gay, any Jew, could be taken in by this or support the convoy. I’ve been feeling for days like Shakespeare’s Margaret of Anjou, Richard III, act I, scene iii, lines 245-249:”Why strewst thou sugar on that bottled spider/ Whose deadly web ensnareth thee about?/ Poor fool, thou whetst a knife to kill thyself.? The day will come when thou shalt wish for me/ To help thee curse this poisonous bunch-backed toad.”
Greta Berlin, of the Free Gaza Movement, said that the purpose of the convoy was to “tell the world that Israel has no right to starve 1.5 million Palestinians.” Well, I agree. They have no right to nationalize the Toyota corporation, either. They’re not DOING either. Judging by her name, Greta Berlin is a woman. Doesn’t she know that this is a Hamas convoy? Doesn’t she know how Hamas treats women, what Hamas will do to HER, given half a chance?
As for the heads of state who are summoning Israeli ambassadors for reprimands and complaining because Jews try to stay alive, don’t they realize that, whatever country they’re head of state of, the Islaomfascists think they’re entitled to it? That the Islamofascists will demand it and attack it? That there will always be useful idiots, including Holocaust survivors and Nobel Peace Prize winners, that will be prepared to take part in the convoys? What will they do then? Sit down quietly and allow a convoy that could contain suitcase nukes to be unloaded? It’s what they want the Israelis to do.
This is more proof, as though I needed it, that a lot of people are faking when they pretend to be moved by Anne Frank, may the al-mighty avenge her blood. A lot of people have no sympathy for Jews who want to stay alive. Anne Frank was a Jew who wanted to stay alive. QED, they have no sympathy for her.
I am so angry I may give myself a migraine.

It’s not that surprising that Pro-Palestinian rally goer knows nothing about the Bible. The Muslims don’t actually have the Bible. They have some stories Mohammed told which include also some things taken from the Talmud.
The Moslems claimed pretty soon that the Jews changed their Torah.
One notable difference is Potiphar’s wife. Mohammed retold the story of Joseph, but he told it his own way. In his version, Joseph and Potiphar’s wife loved each other but resisted temptation. (possibly he did teh same thing with his first wife)
The give her a name of Zuleikah which may actually have come from a Midrash. This name is one of the most common girls names in Iran. But it’s almost totally unknown to most Jews or anybody that the Muslims have this version.
Mohammed also, in passing, twice places Haman in the time of Pharaoh. I think I have figured how that mistake was made. Nobody else has made this speculation. He saw Jews celebrating Purim, was told it is because of a failed plot to kill all the Jews, did not get the details but heard the name Haman. At another time he was told by some Jewish merchant the Midrash story about Yisro (Jethro) Balaam and Iyov (Job) where they each supposedly gave different advice to Pharaoh and Balaam’s advice was to kill the Jews and he confused Baalam whose name he was not familiar with with Haman.
Now Mohammed does acknowledge that Jews lived in Israel and are even entitled to live there, so that bvoy is at fault for that. Of course Saudi Arabia has been claiming for many years taht the Jews in Israel are not the real Jews, and now they have something new – that the temple was not located at the Temple Mount. This is only maybe for last ten or twelve years I think.

We can probably expect to see more of this hatred in the future – maybe multiplied ten times, unless somebody decides that hatred of the state of Israel among Moslems, and its corollary, hatred of Jews, must be confronted.
What is going on now in this regard is particularly bad because we have a blood libel, but unlike previous versions of a blood libel, this time it comes with documentary evidence (even if the video sometimes doesn’t support the commentary at all)
Accusers of Israel have to be told often and repeatedly that they are wrong. Even Obama needs to tell them they are wrong. We need to tell Obama that he needs to tell them that. he may listen or he may not but he needs to be told that. Silence is not enough. The most dangerous thing in the world right now is hatred, and bias against, the state of Israel.
Israel needs to tell them are wrong. Not tell the West the Arabs are wrong. It’s got to tell the *Arabs* that they are wrong. Whether they listen or not. Some will, and some will hesitate. Or maybe get the west to tell them that.
We could be in for a very bad situation.
Let us say Iran uses the atomic bomb, and it gets retaliated against. Can you imagine what might happen?
And if it uses it and it doesn’t get retaliated against, that is also a very bad scenario.
The whole peace of the world is at stake, and easily the lives of over a billion people, because the whole concept of nuclear deterrence could fall apart and be exposed as a chimera.
Everything that anyone does to unfairly condemn Israel, encourages Iran to believe that it could get away with using an atomic bomb, whether that would actually be true or not. It would already be a enormous disaster if it is only a small bomb with a limited radius of destruction and the Iranian government immediately falls to a coup led say by Rafansanji and he executes some of the people responsible and invites the United States to inspect anything it wants in Iran.
——————————————–
Whatever happens China will take notice.
In fact I think China’s People’s Liberation Army has been trying to destroy the nuclear taboo for years – only they want other countries – namely North Korea or Iran – to try things out first.
This is the only explanation of what is going on in the world that makes any sense. I don’t buy any other explanation.
Iran won’t go crazy on its own. They’ll have Chinese military advisers telling them this is safe. (It doesn’t matter if there is also a civilian component to China’s government – they have not taken control in this sense yet – and it looks very safe anyway for China – who is suspecting them?
(Now note: There doesn’t need to be nuclear retaliation againstanuclear attack, but the government that did it must be destroyed.)
Now we could get a much smaller war, with no nuclear weapons. The Iranian program cannot be stopped by one air raid. It can only be stopped by a promise to repeat air raids as often as necessary.
Netanyahu was right I think last year or so when he said it was 1938.

Sarah Palin, that graduate of a state college that, according to Chris Buckley, David Brooks and Peggy Noonan wasn’t smarter than Joe Biden, makes more sense in her FB post than all of Obama and Clinton’s speechwriters and teleprompters. Of the four national candidates from 2008, only Palin would have the cajones to tell the weenies at the State Dept that the U.S. was going to back Israel.
That boy has more sense than anyone in the Obama administration. While Clinton is standing with the UN and Obama is working on an aplogy to muslims and hoping Iran will still talk to him, that kid is willing to stand up, not with a supportive crowd around him but alone if necessary, for the Jewish state in Israel. Any bets on how many of the pro-terrorist supporters would do what he did?
Last night on O’Reilly he commented on how the pro-terrorist supporters were out marching even though they didn’t know what actually happened. Also I noticed, on O’Reilly and the video above, how many professionally prepared signs there were supporting the blockade runners. It’s almost like they were prepared for these demonstrations. To credit them with a Pavlovian response would ignore the fact that they knew the bell was going to ring and had their signs and outrage ready to go.
Members of our armed forces like to say the colors red, white and blue will never run. And in the ME, the colors blue and white will never run either.
Someone should ask the Turks and all those “humanitarians” on the boats if they know who Gilad Shalit is. It will be four years on June 25 since he was kidnapped so they’ve had plenty of time to figure it out.

Not to sound like a total girl, but I’m actually crying after watching that video.
That boy’s bravery is inspiring. The hate directed towards him was so horrendously palpable and yet he continued waving that flag. That kind of determination is what our people have been famous for since Biblical times. He makes me proud to be a Jew. I broke down when he answered that the organization he was working for was Judaism.
The Pro-Palestinian rally-goers provided some comic relief, though. The little nitwit who barely managed to eke out this golden statement: “The Jews can live in a Palestinian state, there should not be an Israeli state…” had me laughing. You can see the hate oozing from her eyes. It’s quite charming.
And then there was the blockhead who said “the only reason Israel is doing this, they started this, is because they got kicked out from the German whatever, whatever happened to them so they’re trying to take out their anger to someone else [proceeds to make ridiculous face as if trying to top off his point but only succeeds in looking more like an idiot].”
So I just quoted that verbatim. Aside from the fact that it doesn’t make sense (what does it mean to take out your anger TO someone else?), it also shows how grossly misinformed this person is. No doubt he is a microcosm of all the protestors there that day.
He called the Holocaust a “German whatever.” Okaaaaay. And we got kicked out from Germany apparently. We weren’t exterminated and killed. No, heavens no! We were merely asked to leave. Brava, this boy’s parents/school. You sure taught him well. He’s a keeper.
The funniest part was the end, when the reporter asks “What about the Bible?”
Blockhead (in almost incredulous tone, as if he is hearing the word for the first time): “The Bible?”
Reporter: “The Jewish presence in Israel from the Biblical days. [Meanwhile, said blockhead is glancing around nervously because he knows he has no idea how to answer the question]”
Blockhead: “I don’t know about that.”
Thank you very much, Blockhead. You are my case in point.
