A “Revisionist” History of the Amalekites

Filed under: Islam & ArabBELIEFS & PERSPECTIVES — eidelberg @ 11:51 pm Edit This

by Tom Carew

The biblical Amalekites were firmly dealt with by the only possible methods, but that ancient aggressor is at times treated harshly to-day—whenever they are mentioned in the same breath as the current genocidal Irano-Hezb-Allah neo-Nazis.

Any war of aggression about seizing land or political power, or even expelling a people, is one huge step below the genocidal intent of the Nazis, and their heirs.

Even the era of Tzarist pogroms was not in the same league as the eliminationist character of the Nazis, their Croatian “Ustashe” allies, or their current Arab and other Islamic heirs. (more…)

There Is Not Much Time

Iran has not only declared “Death to Israel”; it has also called for “A world without America.”

Israel and America are the bastions of civilization.

Read Melanie PhillipsLondonistan. Britain, steeped in moral relativism or nihilism, is virtually comatose. Christianity there is dying if not dead. The vacuum is being filled by Islam. (more…)

How the System Brought Israel into Lebanon

[Edited transcript of the Eidelberg Report, Israel National Radio, August 7, 2006].

In the August 4 Ha’aretz Magazine, Ari Shavit wrote a remarkable article: he blamed the Israel’s failings in the Lebanese war to Israel’s “governing systems.” Shavit, reputedly a Leftist, is calling for systemic change—something I have advocated for decades. Unfortunately, Shavit doesn’t show how Israel’s system is responsible for the Lebanese debacle. That’s what I am now going to do.

Let’s begin with the fact that Labor’s policy of “unilateral disengagement” was the paramount issue of the January 2003 election. The parties that opposed this policy won 84 or 70% of the Knesset’s 120 seats. (more…)

Optimism, Pessimism, and Realism

Filed under: Islam & ArabUS & Global Policy — eidelberg @ 6:12 am Edit This

Middle East expert Daniel Pipes estimates that 10 to 15 percent of the world’s 1.3 billion Muslims support the jihadist agenda. How comforting: only 130 to 195 million Muslims on planet Earth are committed to the destruction of Western civilization in general, and of the United States and Israel in particular!

Another expert, Robert Spencer (The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam), offers a pessimistic assessment: “there are indications from various parts of the Islamic world that the actual number of supporters of today’s jihad might be higher.” (more…)

Lebanese report: Hezbollah Planted Disabled Children in Basement to Die

by Israel Insider staff and partners August 1, 2006

A French language Lebanese publication, citing an unnamed source in Hezbollah, has claimed that the organization placed a rocket launcher on the roof of the notorious building in Qana to provoke an Israeli attack and brought invalid children inside to serve as victims and blacken Israel’s name.

The Lebanese magazine LIBANOSCOPIE, associated with Christian elements which support the anti-Syrian movement called the “March 14 Forces,” report that Hizbullah masterminded a plan that would result in the killing of innocents in Qana, in an attempt to foil Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora’s “Seven Points Plan” calling for deployment of the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon and the disarming of Hizbullah. The magazine reported: (more…)

A Brainless and Heartless Prime Minister

Filed under: Ethics — eidelberg @ 12:01 am Edit This

For Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to announce, in the midst of the present war, that once the war is over he will implement his convergence or realignment plan, is the height of irresponsibility. Such an announcement, coming as it does when the nation is most in need of unity, indeed, when Jews who will be adversely affected by that plan are now fighting in Lebanon—such an announcement reveals Mr. Olmert as both brainless and heartless. It is to be hoped that when this war comes to an end, so too will the tenure of this impossible prime minister.

Obsession: What The War on Terror Is Really About

Filed under: GeneralIntifada & Terrorism — eidelberg @ 11:37 pm Edit This

by Volvi G

Must watch video by everyone in the West to know and understand that WW3 is truly upon us all. Western Media would rather keep you blinded in ignorance. So learn the truth for yourself and don’t say “I never knew, I never realised”. Learn the truth for yourself. Realise too that the current onslaught on Israel has nothing to do with ‘Land’ or any ‘Occupation’. It is all part of global Jihad and it behoves you to know the truth. (more…)

The War Against Israel

by Melanie Phillips

The signs are mounting that the atrocity at Qana was not what it originally seemed. Two must-read blogs—Were the Qana Bodies Staged? and Milking it?— suggest the whole thing might have been staged. We have yet to discover the truth of what did actually happen, but the questions are mounting.

The Daily Telegraph—whose once principled support of Israel is now a distant memory as the paper signs up to the psychological pogrom against Israel being perpetrated by Britain’s media—entertains no such doubts. A disgusting headline this morning proclaimed: (more…)

The Staging of Qana

Filed under: EthicsCURRENT ISSUES — eidelberg @ 9:32 pm Edit This

by Naomi Ragen

A few things journalists might want to check out, re: Qana.

1. The men parading around with dead children dressed as “rescue workers” are the same man, photographed again and again. He’s the main actor. (See post, “Who Is This Man?”).

2. The same man was caught in similar photos in 1996 parading around with a dead child, which means that he is a professional dead-child parader, a very prestigious job that has been created by terrorists concerned about CNN’s ratings. (more…)

Urgently Needed: A Patton or a Sherman

Filed under: Foreign PolicyOslo/Peace ProcessCURRENT ISSUES — eidelberg @ 7:01 am Edit This

It’s no accident that the United States named two tanks after its greatest generals, George Patton and William Tecumseh Sherman. Does the Israel Defense Forces have the equivalent of one of these warriors? If so, can he now be placed at the head of the IDF, which of course would require Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz to resign?

But does Prime Minister Ehud Olmert have the guts to place such man at the head of Israel’s army—to snatch victory in the jaws of defeat in Lebanon—and never mind the clamors of the nations and the media? (more…)
