In the past few weeks, Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been holding summer camps, some of them proudly displaying rockets and other weaponry. Hamas alone is conducting 300 summer camps for tens of thousands of children. The focus is on familiarizing kids with the Palestinian towns and cities destroyed in 1948, as well as instilling religious fervor in them. The camps also feature military-type training such as crawling under barbed-wire. At Islamic Jihad summer camps, children learn how to hold a Kassam rocket-launcher.

Backstabbers at the UN
Israel is calling for removal of two UN soldiers from Lebanon after photographs surfaced of the soldiers saluting the coffins of Hizbullah terrorists during a prisoner exchange last week. Israel's ambassador to the UN, Dan Gillerman, said he was "shocked and horrified" by the photograph and that it was time for the saluting soldiers to go. "I think they should be recalled and be sent back to whichever country they came from....They are there as peacekeepers with a very clear mandate to disarm Hizbullah - they're not there to honor terrorists," he said.

Six Arabs Arrested in Israel for Plotting Attack on Bush
Israel Police and the Shin Bet Security Service have arrested six Arabs - two of them Israeli citizens and the other four Palestinian residents of eastern Jerusalem - with alleged links to the al-Qaeda terror network.
A gag order lifted on Friday revealed that the suspects planned to attack U.S. President Bush's helicopter during one of his recent visits to the region.According to an indictment issued at the Jerusalem District Court, the suspects had been in contact with al-Qaeda over the Internet with the purpose of establishing a terror cell in Israel.
One of the suspects - a student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem - provided al-Qaeda with photographs from his cellular phone of the U.S. president's planned landing site near the university stadium. According to the Shin Bet, the student - Nazareth resident Mohammed Nijam - lived in a college dormitory overlooking the landing pad and sent a message to a Web site linked to al-Qaeda and asked about shooting the helicopter down.The Shin Bet said that investigators found bomb-making instructions on the personal computers of several of the suspects.

Arab Media Blind to Darfur
More than 200,000 people have died in the conflict in Darfur, with millions more turned into refugees, but for many in the Arab world, the humanitarian catastrophe may as well not exist.
Lawrence Pintak, a journalist and Arab media expert, says the problem with Darfur is that it does not fit the template of Arabs being the victims and other people the aggressors. Thus, the Arab media have largely ignored it.
"I think we are in a state of denial," says Jehad Khazen, a former editor of al-Hayat newspaper.
"People say 'the Arabs or Muslims - cannot do this - it did not happen' - but they did do this and it did happen - and they have to reconcile themselves to the fact."

Ahmadinejad Proposes Trial for Leaders of Countries Sanctioning Tehran
Ahmadinejad told a group of judges that "a court should be formed to try and punish all world criminals who invade the rights of the Iranian nation."
All world criminals that are not Muslim, that is. See, anything goes as long as you are a tyrant and can politically identify with Islam's inherent homicidal and genocidal commandments.
Palestinian Rockets Hit Israel, Breaking Hamas Truce
Three Kassam rockets fired from Gaza on Tuesday struck the Israeli town of Sderot and its environs, constituting the first serious breach of a truce between Israel and Hamas, the Islamic group that controls Gaza. Mark Regev, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, said the rocket fire from Gaza had been "a grave violation of the calm" that came into effect last Thursday. Islamic Jihad, a small extremist group, claimed responsibility for the attack. Previous cease-fire understandings in Gaza have fallen apart over the inability of Palestinian leaders to contain the smaller groups.

Pakistani Boy, 14, Groomed to Be Suicide Bomber
Shakirullah Yasin Ali, a small, frail boy, just 14 years old, was arrested as he prepared to carry out a suicide bombing against British and American targets in Afghanistan. "If I had succeeded, I would be dead now, I realize that," he said. "But those who were instructing me said that if I believed in serving God it was my duty to fight against the foreigners."

Grant for Muslim hate bloggers
We have the right to criticize Islam as a religion of peace especially when there is no corroborating evidence that it is a religion of peace. We have the responsibility to point out that societies built on Islamic values are not "just like us", and they do not have the same goals as us. I expect people with intelligence to realize that you cannot take concepts such as democracy, that come out of Judeo-Christian values of equality of all men before their G-d, and simply graft that onto another culture like Islam where it has never existed in the past, and where the empirical historical evidence confirms that it does not exist in the present, either.
It is in our duty as Americans to stop funding Islamic nations, considering we are in a war. It is also necessary to start deporting illegal immigrants, particularly if they are Muslim. If they see that it is no longer profitable to be Muslim anymore, many are likely to change their views on life and will learn to play well with others. If they do not, then at least they are removed from the West, and are unable to conduct Jihad from within.
It is tragic really that we have arrived to this state of affairs. But this is what Muslims chose. Muslims wanted war, Muslims will suffer the consequences of that decision.
ReligionNewsBlog tells us that an Islamic website which backs suicide bombers got a £35,000 Government grant – a month before the anniversary of the 7/7 attacks.
Muslimyouth.net carries dozens of rants by fanatics on its “support group” site.
One member wrote of suicide missions: “If you can blow dozens of people up at the same time, great, absolutely great.”
What a disgusting sentiment. With statements like the above, there is no doubt that Muslims do not worship the same G-d as Jews and Christians.
Muslims have been given license by liberals and leftists to act as savages, because the mental disease of liberalism thinks it is multicuturally quaint to act out your culture, no matter what it is and no matter how despicable it is to others. Worse even is the utter failure of American Muslims to separate jihadists from their ranks.

IDF Confirms Receipt of Soldier Remains from Hizbullah Scum
A statement issued by the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said after the body remains will undergo initial and thorough examinations by the IDF and Israeli Police, the coffin will be transferred to the Forensic Medicine Institute in Abu Kabir for further inspection.
Shortly after 12:00 noon, the International Red Cross Association confirmed that its officials had received a casket containing human remains from the terrorist group. The box was transferred by the agency to the IDF Chief Rabbinate.
A panel will contact the bereaved families whose soldiers' body parts are suspected to be among the remains that were transferred. The panel will update the families on any developments.

Car of Bedouin Woman Who Lit Independence Day Torch Set on Fire
Sana Elbaz, a Bedouin who lit a celebratory torch at Israel's 60th anniversary ceremony in Jerusalem, saw her car set ablaze by unknown persons outside of her house on Thursday. A Molotov cocktail was also thrown at her door. Elbaz heads a unique daycare center and was responsible for a revolutionary educational program in Bedouin society.

Criticism and Islam
The message of "Fitna," a 15-minute movie by Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders, is that the Koran is the living inspiration for jihadists. Without the Koran's violent passages, the film suggests, Islamic terrorism would not exist. While the Western world long ago learned to criticize, even mock, religion, the Islamic world isn't accustomed to such discussions. The issue isn't really Wilders' movie, or whether it incites hatred, which I doubt. It's whether we are capable of defending our values against the intolerance of radical Muslims.

Film: View Fitna, Stop Islamization, Defend Freedom
UPDATE: Muslims have threatened the lives of the staff at LiveLeak, the film's host server, and as a result of Islam's typical modus operandi to threaten and kill others, LiveLeak pulled "Fitna" from their servers.
Here is the statement from LiveLeak:
Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers.
This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one.
Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one anothers culture.
We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.
The good news is that "Fitna" is still available to view at http://www.unitedamericancommittee.org/
The anti-jihad resistance networking website is now live at:
http://www.antijihadresistance.com/
One important point must be made. I saw this film and there was nothing in it that we didn't already know about Islam. It showed Islam as it is: bloody, dominant, racist, hateful, and at its core, lethally militaristic and institutionalizing homicide. As Bernie at Planck's Constant so cogently remarks:
Except for the last 60 seconds where we are entreated to stop Islamization, not one word in this documentary came from non-Muslims. Everything that was uttered, everything that was said, everything that was written or displayed were the words of Muslim leaders or everyday Muslims or text directly from the Quran.
Therefore, in the end, we won, and the jihadists lost. Whether we saw the film or not, we already know the truth about Islam and its graphic empirical historical evidence of beheadings, slaughter, disfigurement, betrayals, thievery, murder, piracy, rape, and pillaging, and that historical data will never be erased from our memories. The fact is, there's not a goddamned thing Muslims can do about what is stored in our memories and what is archived in our greatest libraries and data warehouses. Because if Muslims slay those of us who remember, our children will bear witness to their chaos and destruction, and their children's children, and in the end, not one Muslim will be able to sleep well, because guilt and shame and humiliation will always be their grave burden.
One day, we will stand at the graves of our enemies. One day, we will stand and look down at them, rotting, defeated, and dead.

A reminder for those who don't remember
Israel evicted nearly 10,000 Jews from their homes in Gaza, yet all Israel received in return was - and continues to be - a steady barrage of rocket fire from Muslim and Hamas-occupied territory. Gilad Shalit, who was abducted by the Muslim terrorist organization in June 2006 begins today his 22nd month in captivity.
Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Gillerman, summed up the situation by telling the Security Council on March 25th that the apparent lull in Hamas rocket attacks is only superficial, because the bombs keep ticking, while Hamas is using this time to smuggle in and produce more rockets. He commented:
Whereas Israel makes all efforts to protect civilians in accordance with international law, Hamas indiscriminately fires rockets into Israeli civilian areas. Whereas Israel ensures that medicines and fuel enter the Gaza Strip to reach hospitals and needy civilians, Hamas hijacks those trucks and diverts them to its bomb making factories and terrorist camps. Whereas Israel allows humanitarian convoys into Gaza - more than 1,600 trucks and over 20,000 tons of aid in recent weeks alone - Hamas cynically fires on those same crossing points, so it can fabricate a pretext for inciting the Palestinian public against Israel.INN reports that Gillerman also addressed the situation along Israel's northern border, noting that Hizbullah is violating the ceasefire reached after the Second Lebanon War nearly two years ago in three areas: Weapons continue to flow illegally through the porous Syrian-Lebanese border; Hizbullah is rearming, and "has already adapted its weaponry and tactics so as to take into account the UNIFIL presence south of the Litani River, as its spokesmen openly declare; and Israeli soldiers Udi Goldwasser and Eldad Regev have still not been released by their Hizbullah kidnappers.
I am sure that many in this Council watched with horror and disgust as Hamas terrorists joyfully fired their rifles into the air [after the Merkaz HaRav slaughter] and passed out candy to children in celebration. If anyone doubted what the extremists stand for, the reaction in Gaza to the murder of eight Israeli boys sets the record straight. It was also a stark reminder that these were the same people who danced on the rooftops after 9/11.
"Which is why, Mr. President, it was so sad and disturbing that the Council could not condemn the terrorist attack... The Security Council has a longstanding practice of condemning terrorism, no matter the victims, no matter the location, no matter the perpetrator, no matter the motivation. Yet the Council could not unanimously condemn this terrorist attack and intentional killing of civilians, for the Council was blocked by a politicized opposition, of one Member State [Libya - ed.] in particular...
Hamas Admits to Using Women, Children As Human Shields
A Hamas parliamentarian has openly admitted to developing a "death-seeking" culture that uses women, children and the elderly as human shields against Israeli military attacks.
"[The enemies of Allah] do not know that the Palestinian people have developed [methods] of death and death-seeking," Hamas parliamentarian, Fathi Hammad said in a speech televised on Hamas' Al-Aksa television station two weeks ago. (A transcript was made available by the Middle East Media Research Institute on Thursday.)
"For the Palestinian people, death has become an industry, at which women excel, and so do all the people living on this land. The elderly excel at this, and so do the mujahideen and the children," Hammad said.
"This is why they have formed human shields of the women, the children, the elderly, and the mujahideen, in order to challenge the Zionist [Israel] bombing machine. It is as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: 'We desire death like you desire life,'" he said.

A Moral Outrage
The world applauded when Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, forcibly removing Jewish settlers. At last, the Palestinians were free to show how they could build their own society.
But what did they do with their freedom? They elected the terrorist organization Hamas in 2006. First Fatah and now Hamas have rained 4,000 rockets on Israel, killed 24, and wounded 620 - the equivalent of killing 1,200 Americans and wounding 31,000. The citizens of Sderot and Ashkelon have suffered a collective trauma; children fear that when parents leave for work, they will never see them again.
And what does the world do? It criticizes Israel for a "disproportionate" response. Israel is discriminating in trying to defend its people. It attacks Gaza's rocket launchers, weapons factories, and terrorists, all hidden in civilian areas. What is a proportionate response? None at all, it seems.
Hamas kills indiscriminately. It makes no distinction between civilians and combatants. But it is Israel that earns the opprobrium. Would Paris, London, Bonn, or New York sit back quietly if terrorists attacked from sanctuaries somewhere just off their borders?
Palestinians continue to get away with their confidence trick of persuading the world that they are the victims. Hamas uses women and children as human shields and then exaggerates the casualties.
The U.S. forced the Israelis and the Palestinians to include Hamas in the 2006 election. Later, we caused the removal of Israeli control of the Philadelphi road, a crucial barrier in the protection against the smuggling of arms, insisting it be left to the Palestinians under Egyptian and European supervision. Israeli protests that foreign troops would not stop either terrorists or arms from making their way into Gaza went unheeded.
Genocidal Doctrines Penetrating Hamas Ideology
The ideology of the extreme Islamic movements deals with the concept of the Muslim's superiority over the nonbelievers and makes frequent use of the verse from the Koran that postulates that the Muslims are Allah's "chosen people."
This ideology calls for a takeover of the entire world as both a vision and an action program and for the total extermination of Jews, Christians and other apostates by the Muslims.
Dr. Yunus al-Astel, a senior member of the Hamas movement and a member of the Palestinian parliament, assigns religious doctrinal justification to this ruling of having the Muslims exterminate the Jewish people and views the terror attack on the Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva (March 6, 2008) as partial implementation of the positive commandment bestowed by Allah.
Al-Astel, who served as dean of the faculty for Muslim Sharia law at the Islamic University in Gaza, concludes that the punishment of extermination, immolation and holocaust will be meted out to the Jews, not only in the world to come but in this world as well, at the hands of the jihad fighters.
This is not an isolated opinion within Hamas, and serves as a reply to those who detect signs of "flexibility" in Hamas' ideological platform.

Peaceful religion is not spelled I-s-l-a-m
Consider: There are about 400 recognized terrorist groups in the world. Over 90 percent of these are Islamist groups. Over 90 percent of the current world fighting involves Islamist terror movements. The vast majority of world terrorism is religiously motivated by Islam.
This includes Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, Lebanon, Indonesia, all of the Emirates, Sudan, Philippines, India, Libya, Algeria, Malaysia, Spain, Morocco, Yemen, Syria, Tunisia, Jordan and, finally, what they call the "occupied territory" – Israel. Louis Farrakhan is the face of Islam in America. Is his message one of peace?
In Jersey City and Newark, N.J., it wasn't Mennonites or Methodists who celebrated in the streets as 3,000-plus Americans (Muslims included) were murdered.
Every morning of every day we read and hear of atrocities committed by fanatical Muslims. Christians are commonly politicized as being hardcore and fanatical; but decapitation is not Christian theology.
Many Muslims in this country may be peaceful, but apart from the radical activities of groups like the Council of Arab Islamic Relations, I've not heard a cacophony of their voices. But we should. After all it wasn't Mormons standing on a bridge in Fallujah shouting Allahu Akbar (God is great) while the remains of innocent mutilated Americans burned.
