Myth of "Arab East Jerusalem"

The Myth of "Arab East Jerusalem"

If a reporter were to write a story today which referred to Communist East Berlin, his editor would immediately call him on the carpet. The reason is simple. Communist East Berlin hasn’t existed for eight years. But if that same reporter were to write a story referring to another fiction, "Arab East Jerusalem," no correction would be made, even though "Arab East Jerusalem" hasn’t existed for 30 years.

Between 1948 and 1967, the Jordanian army occupied the Old City of Jerusalem and adjacent neighborhoods. They made these into "Arab East Jerusalem" by expelling the Jews who lived there, and whose families had lived there for generations. Then in June of 1967 "Arab East Jerusalem" ceased to exist. Yet the media, President Clinton and world leaders refer to "Arab East Jerusalem" as if it still exists. Two simple truths must be stated loud and clear:

Jerusalem is united, and has been since 1967. Just as there is no longer any such thing as East Berlin, there is no longer any such thing as "Arab East Jerusalem."

Today there are more Jews living in East Jerusalem than Arabs. So, to be accurate, if anything, the area should be called "Jewish East Jerusalem."

Moral Clarity and the Middle East - Why we support Israel.

"...if Israel is responsible for Islamist or Arabist wrath, I cannot imagine just what Israel did to encourage Syria to swallow Lebanon, to encourage Saddam Hussein to unleash a bloodbath against Iran, to encourage Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait, to encourage Kuwait to expel hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, to encourage the Taliban to destroy the Bamiyan Buddha statues in Afghanistan, to encourage the slaughter of Christians in the Sudan, to encourage the bombings in Bali that killed 202 people, or to encourage church bombings in Pakistan."

The Arab Invasion - 1948

The Arabs not only rejected partition, but attacked Israel from all sides. On the day that Israel declared its independence, the Arab League Secretary, General Azzam Pasha declared "jihad", a holy war. He said, "This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades".

(1) The Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Al Husseini stated, "I declare a holy war, my Moslem brothers! Murder the Jews! Murder them all!"
(2) The armies of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq invaded the tiny new country with the declared intent of destroying it.
(3) In a formal cablegram to the UN Secretary General on May 15, 1948, the Secretary general of the Arab League declared that the Arab states rejected partition and intended to set up a "United State of Palestine."

Moore (ed.), The Arab-Israeli Conflict; Readings and Documents (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, abridged and revised edition, 1977), pp. 938-943.

One last comment to the stalkers, trolls, misanthropes and dysfunctionals who are riled at the content, tenor of speech and the politics of this blog: we couldn't be more delighted that you're so pissed off. Thank you for making our job so easy.

Am Yisrael Chai. Ma fish falastin.

Bride of Dracula

Folks, when you lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas. Check out the following article which gives one insight into George Felos' equally nutty wife. Check this article out.

Yesterday, I wrote about how George Felos, Michael Schaivo's attorney, is the author of a book entitled "Litigation as Spiritual Practice." on the Mark Levin Fan blog. Folks, check out the comments left by some readers who have read Felos' book on Amazon.com. Felos is out of his gourd.

March 18, 2005 is the death date set by Judge Greer to kill Terri Schiavo

Folks, as of this writing, the web site counter statistics at Terri's Fight, shows 1,649,496, and increasing exponentially every minute. That says a lot about how many people care about Terri Schiavo.

But that's not of any comfort to Terri's family. Imagine, folks. Imagine being Terri's mom, having given birth to a beautiful daughter and - suddenly - every single second of the clock, as it counts down to Friday, March 18, 2005 at 1:00pm, churns Terri's mom's stomach into a tighter and tighter knot of anxiety, fear, despondency, utter disbelief, chaotic tumultuous, torturous thoughts that Terri only has less than four days to live.

Less than four days. Imagine YOUR beloved child. Imagine the Christmases past. The Birthday parties. Her first words. Watching her take her first stumbling steps. Watching her as she pulls herself up for the first time in her painted crib. Imagine YOUR daughter being slaughtered by right-to-death activists. For money.

Imagine watching your daughter starve to death by a court-sanctioned order to remove a feeding tube, simply because Terri Schiavo can not swallow on her own.

Folks, being unable to swallow is not a crime. It should not be punishable by death. Yet death is what Judge Greer, George Felos and Michael Schiavo, Terri's adulterous husband, have cast down upon Terri Schiavo.

It seems logical that Michael Schiavo, who is married to Terri, a disabled woman, should lose legal guardianship if he marries another woman (common law or otherwise). To allow this guardianship to continue is tantamount to endorsing polygamy. Yet, Michael Schiavo is living with another woman AND has two children with her and noone questions this living arrangement nor Michael Schiavo's ulterior motives.

This coming Friday will coincide with the 15th year anniversary of Michael Shiavo's *alleged* attempt to murder his wife, which is how Terri ended up in the poor condition she is in today. Terri collapsed in her home under questionable circumstances in Feb, 1990. Yet Michael is free, breathing, and having sex with his live-in girlfriend.

Folks, read the words that Judge Greer dictated three weeks ago:

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that absent a stay from the appellate courts, the guardian, MICHAEL SCHIAVO, shall cure the removal of nutrition and hydration from the ward, THERESA SCHIAVO, at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 18, 2005.

She only has less than four days to live.

Folks, I watched my father die from Alzheimers. He could no longer swallow. He couldn't be fed ice cubes, because he would choke on the melted ice in his mouth. It took him three days to die of dehydration and he was 80.

Picture Terri dying.

Picture her.

Picture YOUR child. Innocent. Dying. Murdered by a court-sanctioned decree and a hateful husband.

Terri Schiavo died of murder today

Folks, it is with much anguish that I write that Terri Schiavo died of murder today, after being starved to death by the State of Florida.

It's important that you all remember that Terri Schiavo was not dying before they killed her 13 days ago. She was alive. She only started dying after the State of Florida removed her feeding tube.

May Terri rest in peace, may her family be comforted, may the guilty pay, and may our nation recover its moral compass in the wake of this terrific tragedy.

Thou Shalt Not Kill

Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed today in a fiercely cruel act of judicial tyranny.

Deafening is the only word for the silence from the left and the Hollywood elite yet the moment an al Qaeda terrorist is rumored to have been sent to bed without supper, everyone writes a letter and lights a candle.

Folks, in this country, if you're a muslim and you kill or try to kill enough Americans, you can be certain our government will feed you three halal meals a day.

But if you're a disabled American, you can be sure that our government will kill you.

There will be no more meals for Terri. No more meals because the tyrannical Judge George W. Greer of the Sixth Judicial Circuit has just sanctioned murder in the state of Florida. He has ordered Terri Schiavo to die slowly by dehydration by having her feeding tube removed when all that Judge Greer had to do was permit Terri's mom to take her home and feed her there.

Agency Had 89 Abuse Reports on Michael Schiavo

Folks, according to an article on NewsMax, Florida's Department of Children and Families had received nearly 90 allegations that Michael Schiavo had abused his wife in recent years - but a Florida judge ruled yesterday that DCF summaries of those allegations must remain secret.

The St. Petersburg Times and the Tampa Tribune had filed suit for the release of the abuse summaries, which covered 89 reports - the Times said Friday.

But state Judge George Greer ruled Friday the records belong to DCF, and although Terri Schiavo's husband can have access to the abuse files, the records cannot be made public, The Associated Press reported. During a hearing Thursday, just hours after Terri Schiavo died, DCF attorney Jennifer Lima-Smith asked Greer to keep its records sealed, saying, "It's time to end this case."

Just a few weeks ago, however, the agency was pressing for a full-blown abuse probe.

In the petition filed with Greer's court in early March, the DCF asked him not to remove Schiavo's feeding tube until the agency could investigate 34 pages of materials documenting allegations of abuse, the Orlando Sentinel reported at the time.

The DCF petition said the materials were sent to its abuse hotline on Feb. 18 and Feb. 21, and by law, the agency had to conduct an investigation.

"The allegations in the abuse reports go to the heart of whether abuse, neglect and/or exploitation has been perpetrated by the guardian [Michael Schiavo]," the DCF's 10-page petition said, according to the Sentinel.

The allegations were based partly on bone scans showing Terri Schiavo suffered fractures, as well as statements she made to family and friends that she was unhappy in her marriage, the AP reported Friday.

Folks, maybe we can get Sandy Berger to steal those secret records for us, whaddyathink?
