It's not only a Zionist Olympic logo. It's a Gay, Freemason Zionist logo!

It turns out that the London Olympic 2012 logo is not merely Zionist. It's even worse! From Iran's Hamsayeh.net: Iranian Olympic Committee has launched an official complaint to the International Olympic Committee concerning the design of London 2012 Olympic games logo. Baharm Afsharzadeh, the secretary general of Iran’s Olympic Committee told reporters the logo depicts the...

Iranians are on to me!

From MEMRI, an Iranian TV program that exposes my nefarious plan to take over the world! Following are excerpts from a TV show on the influence of the Internet, which aired on IRINN, the Iranian news channel, on December 31, 2010: Iranian author and journalist Pejman Karimi: In 1969, the Internet was established by the Pentagon, the US war department, and then it was presented to the world. The goal of the virtual control over the world was and...

Meanwhile, in Oman...

From Al Arabiya: Men and women casually looted a smoldering supermarket in Oman's main industrial centre on Monday, after police disappeared in the wake of violent protests in the normally placid Arab state. "It's a free for all," said one man who watched while people grabbed all they could find -- from food to metal sheets and electronic goods -- and piled their hauls into trolleys at the Lulu Hypermarket at a road junction in the port of Sohar. The...

An interesting New York Times article was published today about the ancient Biblical dye known as tekhelet. One of the mysteries that scholars have puzzled over for centuries is the exact shade of blue represented by “tekhelet,” which the Bible mentions as the color of ceremonial robes donned by high priests and ritual prayer tassels worn by the common Israelite. What was...

Video: Damage from Grad rocket, Beersheba

Here is some of the damage caused by the Grad rocket shot into Beersheba last week. Note the damage from the ball bearings in the missile, as buildings and cars are pockmarked. (h/t Uri ...

The posters I created for the upcoming "Israel Apartheid Week" have been featured on the front page of a popular Dutch site, Het Vrije Volk ("The Free People"), and I received hundreds of hits from that site. They were also featured in a posting on a Polish site, Racjonalista (Rationalist). A professor at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, has put some of the...

Saudi king to buy Facebook? Arab, Iranian sites fall for joke post

On Sunday, a site called Dawn Wires published this story: In what is being termed as pure Wall street Gordon Gecko tactics, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has decided to make an offer of $150 billion to buy out Facebook. Inside sources within the kingdom suggest that he is very upset with Mark Zukerberg for allowing the revolt to get out of control. In a personal meeting between Mark Zuckerberg and King Abdullah on Jan 25, 2011, Zuckerberg had promised...

This past weekend, J Street held a conference. Plenty of bloggers and others covered the event, and there are some very good articles that discuss exactly how J-Street is not even close to being "pro-Israel." Here is one simple proof. Starting next week we will see the annual Israel Apartheid Week at colleges and universities worldwide. Every pro-Israel organization...

Sidelined diplomats insist that "peace talks" remain the core issue in the Arab world

Diplomats seem really upset that they are being sidelined by events in the Arab world that are happening, inexplicably, without any input from them. Somehow Arabs are acting in ways that diplomats could not predict, did not expect, and have nothing to do with Israel. Naturally, these same diplomats cannot accept the new reality, and they feel compelled to do everything they can to make the bizarre claim that stability in the Arab world depends on...

UN Human Rights Council praises Libya's record

This one document brilliantly shows UN hypocrisy. From UN Watch: Despite having just voted to suspend Libya from its ranks, the UN Human Rights Council is about to adopt a lengthy report hailing Libya’s human rights record. The report, which is on the council website, is the outcome of a recent session that reviewed Libya’s human rights record. Although the “Universal Periodic Review” mechanism is described by council defenders as...

Disproportionate? NYT only reports half the story (David G)

From David G: Isabel Kershner in the New York Times reports on the investigation into the killing of Salah Shehada: Israeli Panel Finds No Crime in 2002 Assassination Nearly nine years after an Israeli assassination of a Hamas leader in Gaza killed at least 13 civilians and led to widespread international condemnation, a government-appointed panel of inquiry concluded Sunday that the operation was flawed but that the consequences “did not stem from...

From AFP: Iran have protested against the already controversial logo of the 2012 Olympic Games, saying the emblem is racist and spells the word "Zion," the ILNA news agency reported on Monday. The jagged, multi-coloured emblem, which reportedly cost 400,000 pounds (nearly 650,000 dollars) features four bold numerals representing 2012, with the signature Olympic Rings emblazoned...

Video: "Activists" stealing water from Jewish farm

Earlier this month, several "peace activists" attempted to pump all of the water out of a well in a Jewish-owned farm in Sussiya. When the manager of the farm, Avidan Ofir, arrived to stop them, one of the women tried to wrestle him, grabbed his hair, ripped his shirt and chased him around. He remained steadfast and almost superhumanly calm as he worked to keep his water from being stolen. This sort of harassment happens all the time. (h/t Y...

Hamas demands UNRWA schools not teach about Holocaust

Last week, Jordanian newspaper Al Ghad published an interview with UNRWA spokesman Sami Mshasha saying that UNRWA intends to teach Palestinian Arabs about the Holocaust as part of its curriculum on human rights. He said, "This curriculum is aimed as a whole to enhance the understanding of students of Palestinian human rights, civil and political rights, as living under Israeli occupation....We are talking about rights, whether Palestinian or an...

Arabs embrace spoof Israeli Gaddafi music video

From NYT: A satirical YouTube clip mocking Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s megalomania is fast becoming a popular token of the Libya uprising across Middle East. And in an added affront to Colonel Qaddafi, it was created by an Israeli living in Tel Aviv. Noy Alooshe, 31, an Israeli journalist, musician and Internet buff, said he saw Colonel Qaddafi’s televised speech last Tuesday in which the Libyan leader vowed to hunt down protesters “inch by inch,...

Our absurd obsession with Israel laid bare (Nick Cohen)

A rare voice of sanity in CiF: To a generation of politically active if not morally consistent campaigners, the Middle East has meant Israel and only Israel. In theory, they should have been able to stick by universal principles and support a just settlement for the Palestinians while opposing the dictators who kept Arabs subjugated. Few, however, have been able to oppose oppression in all its forms consistently. The right has been no better than...

Asma al-Assad is "a rose in the desert" in this puff piece on one of the world's most ruthless dictators. How easy is it to play the Western media? Apparently, it is trivial. Vogue went to Syria to show how wonderful Bashir Assad and his wife are. Without doing a modicum of research on Syria's history of ruthless oppression and mass murders, the writers fall under the spell...

Kristof doesn't get it

In today's New York Times, Nicholas Kristof writes: Is the Arab world unready for freedom? A crude stereotype lingers that some people — Arabs, Chinese and Africans — are incompatible with democracy. Many around the world fret that “people power” will likely result in Somalia-style chaos, Iraq-style civil war or Iran-style oppression. That narrative has been nourished by Westerners and, more sadly, by some Arab, Chinese and African leaders. So with...

Mubarak's narcissism apparently knew no bounds. I saw an Arabic news video that showed what appeared to be Hosni Mubarak wearing a suit that had his name sewn in, repeatedly, as the pinstripe pattern: So I went hunting for the original photo, and, sure enough...it's there! HOSNYMUBARAK, over and over again. Here is what the original photo looks like: And here's what...

Who is the Muslim Brotherhood? (Video)

From Fuel for Truth...

I received this photo showing pro-Israel activists at University of California-Berkeley with two of my "Apartheid?" posters, taken on Friday: They also handed out an article by Ishmael Khaldi, an Israeli Arab vice-consul in San Fransisco, which says in part: I am a proud Israeli - along with many other non-Jewish Israelis such as Druze, Bahai, Bedouin, Christians and Muslims,...

60% of Saudi men financially exploit their wives

From Al Arabiya: A Saudi Arabian social researcher claims through his research that 60 percent of Saudi Arabian husbands financially exploit their wives’ money, the London-based Asharq al-Awsat reported on Friday. Dr. Mahmoud Kisnawi from Univeristy of Umm al-Qura concentrated mainly on working wives, and said wives allow their husbands to take advantage of their salaries under the pretence of “ensuring family stability,” despite Islam giving women...

"Major setback" at Iranian nuclear plant

Good news to start the new week: From NYT: Iran told atomic inspectors this week that it had run into a serious problem at a newly completed nuclear reactor that was supposed to start feeding electricity into the national grid this month, raising questions about whether the trouble was sabotage, a startup problem, or possibly the beginning of the project’s end. In a report on Friday, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran told inspectors...

Faithless: Another hypocritical band boycotting Israel

From Mail and Guardian Online: In December 2010 British electronic group Faithless’s lead singer Maxi Jazz wrote a note on his website to “family and friends of the band in Israel”. He said: “We’ve been asked to do some shows this summer in your country and, with the heaviest of hearts, I have regretfully declined the invitation. While human beings are being willfully denied not just their rights but their needs for their children and grandparents...

PalArabs burn photos of Obama - wearing a kippah

From AP: A Palestinian protester holds a burning Israeli flag with a photo of American President Barack Obama during a demonstration against an American veto last week on a U.N. resolution that would have condemned Israel, in the West Bank city of Nablus, Thursday, Feb. 24, 2011. AP notices the flag is burning, but doesn't seem quite to notice the Jewish star on Obama's...

Here are some resources so you can help battle the haters during "Israel Apartheid Week" on college campuses. 1) I put all of my relevant posters on their own page; please feel free to forward them to any college Hillels or Jewish/Zionist campus organizations to use as they wish. 2) StandWithUs is working very hard on this issue. Here's part of their press release: "Israel...

Egyptian kiddie show: "Liberate Jerusalem from the disgusting Jews"

From MEMRI: Following are excerpts from the "Ammo Alaa" children's TV show, which aired on Nour Al-Khaleejiyah TV on December 29, 2010. TV host: Let's see how we should answer the disgusting Jews, who say that Jerusalem belongs to them. What proof do we have that Jerusalem is Islamic? We tell our friends that... Am I making you fall asleep, Mr. Sa'd, or what? Wake up Sa'd... Have a carrot... First of all, we tell the Jews that the Arabs lived...

Libya update: Gaddafi's last stand? (updated)

Things are happening very, very quickly in Libya today, and the feeling is in the air that Gaddafi's rule is about to end. There have been more towns captured by the opposition, and counterattacks by Libyan troops failed to re-take Zawiyah and Misurata. But the main action is taking place in Tripoli itself today - and it is falling to the opposition, neighborhood by neighborhood, even in the face of deadly attacks. The Souk al Juma and Tajoura...

Islamic Jihad mouthpiece Palestine Today will introduce a 24-hour satellite channel tonight, after a successful trial run for the past three months. It will be available on Nilesat and Arabsat. Note the stylized map of "Palestine" in the logo. I smell Iranian mone...

Robert Fisk thinks Gaddafi is ALMOST as bad as Netanyahu

For a columnist with a history of asinine and idiotic articles, Robert Fisk still has the ability to surprise. Check out his review of Gaddafi's rambling, incoherent speech on Wednesday: He had not even begun to use bullets against his enemies – a palpable lie – and "any use of force against the authority of the state shall be punished by death", in itself a palpable truth which Libyans knew all too well without the future tense of Gaddafi's threat....

Morning links

Iranian warships are just "a message of peace." Khaled Abu Toameh discerns a bit of hypocrisy among those who are faster at condemning Israel for building houses than they are at Arab dictators slaughtering their own people. Martin Peretz and Danny Ayalon notice that Israel doesn't seem to have anything to do with Middle East unrest. Who knew? Gullible amnesia about the Muslim Brotherhood. Honest Reporting resumes their excellent series on photo...

MSM Roundup (David G)

From David G: 1. Saudi Arabia: Jackson Diehl writes that the Saudis may be next unless they do something. Maybe they'll reform; maybe they'll help stymie the change in Bahrain. Abdullah has no love for Obama; he spurned the U.S. president's request for help in the Arab-Israeli peace process and fumed at Obama's turn against Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarak. According to the New York Times, the last of their two phone calls during the Egyptian crisis...

Egyptian: "Unfortunately, my young son wasn't killed by the IDF"

On January 29th, a 10 year old boy named Bilal came home from school in Egypt and saw an anti-Mubarak demonstration nearby. He immediately went to join the rally, and then was shot three times by Egyptian forces in the abdomen, and he died. The father wants justice, but he is emphasizing that Bilal had fervently hoped to become a martyr defending Gaza from Israel. The father told Egyptian newspaper El Shorouk, "He had wished to die in defense...
