PALESTINIANS KILL MORE WOMEN IN HONOR KILLINGS THAN AFGHANISTAN - in proportion to their population - PALESTINIAN LAW CONDONES THESE CRIMES.

The media are silent, as usual. 
This coverup extends to any negative activity by the Palestinians, including their glorification of terrorists who kill civilians, their endemic corruption, their past as collaborators with the German Nazi regime, and their current Nazi genocidal ideology. 
None of that is allowed to reach the pages of the mainstream media.

ALARMING NUMBER OF HONOR KILLINGS BY PALESTINIANS

The number of other Palestinian violent acts against women goes unreported.
 
By Paul Gherkin

Honor killings have a sad history throughout the Muslim world. Many families deliberately and systematically kill wives and daughters if there is any suspicion of the women bringing “dishonor” to the family.
 
Muslim women
The cause of such shame may come from actual or feared adultery, refusal to marry a designated spouse, or even dressing inappropriately. The cultural rationale for the honor killings is that by murdering the offending women, honor is restored to the families.

Gaza and the West Bank are similar to other parts of the Muslim world regarding the reasons for honor killings. However, the recent spike in the number of killings in the territories has been very dramatic and atypical. In 2011, there were five such murders in the territories. 

The number of homicides jumped to 13 in 2012, and doubled again to 27 in 2013. In just the first two months of 2014, 8 honor killings were reported by Palestinian media sources, a pace that would have put it on course for nearly doubling again.

By comparison, in Afghanistan an estimated 150 women are killed each year in honor killings. Afghanistan has over eight times the population of Gaza and West Bank, and 18 times Gaza alone. Therefore, on a proportionate basis, the Palestinians now kill twice as many women in honor killings as Afghanistan (or over three times as many if one only counts Gaza where most of the murders take place).

It's the law in the Palestinian Authority
 
Adding insult to these horrific murders increasing popularity, was the lax way such murders were treated in Palestinian courts. According to the Palestinian Law (Article 340), the killers were not subject to any punishment.
He who discovers his wife or female relative committing adultery and kills, wounds or injuries one or both of them is exempted from any penalty, and he who discovers his wife, or one of his female ascendants or descendants or sisters with another in an unlawful bed and he kills, wounds or injures one or both of them, benefits from a reduction of penalty.”
The New York Times Journalistic malpractice
 
The terrible jump in honor killing of women in Gaza and the West Bank did not make it to the pages of The New York Times. The courts absolution granted to the murderers was not a subject that the Times decided to cover. In 2011. In 2012. In 2013. In 2014.
 
The closest the New York Times came to an article about the Palestinians’ disregard for a woman’s life in the territories was in an article by Jodi Rudoren in October 2012. That article was about a particular women’s rights advocate. While one would imagine some specifics about the lack of women’s rights and a review of honor killings being covered in such an article, there was barely any mention.
  • There was no description of honor killings
  • No report on the increasing number of killings
  • No review of Palestinian Law absolving the murderers

Instead, Roduren chose to describe the difficulty of a specific woman acting as a rights advocate in Gaza (as opposed to the hardship all women face in Gaza). Of course, according to Roduren, the main source of the hardship was Israel:
  • ““psychological siege” imposed by a combination of Israeli restrictions on travel and trade”
  • “lost a personal battle last month when Israel’s Supreme Court rejected a petition by her and three other women to study in the West Bank.”
  • “the resistance of the Israeli occupation as a priority,”
  • Israeli court ruled, 2 to 1, against the four women
  • “Israeli warplane hit an apartment building”
So what does a reader take-away from the New York Times?
    1. While the New York Times occasionally covered stories of honor killings in Afghanistan or Pakistan, it never covered those killings in Gaza, despite the greater prevalence in Gaza.
    2. When the paper had a chance to describe the honor killings in Gaza in an article about a woman’s rights advocates, it opted not to do so.
    3. The thrust of the sole article on the morbid topic laid most of the blame on Israel, as opposed to the Palestinians themselves

Hooray New York Times. You gave a pass for Muslim misogyny and murder meted out by Palestinians. Absolution of the Arab sins came from Jews just across the Green Line.

WHITE HOUSE FINDS ISRAEL THE FOURTH MOST "UNACCEPTABLE" COUNTRY IN THE WORLD (mostly for building apartments in Jerusalem), ranking between N. Korea and Pakistan - While the US president refuses to recognize Jerusalem as belonging to Israel, he favors opening embassies in Cuba and Iran

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The State Department, speaking for the White House, described Israeli actions  as "unacceptable" 87 times in 2014
 

Different moral priorities

 

While the Middle East burns and Christians are massacred, and while Palestinians murder rabbis and babies, the White House considers Jews building homes in Jerusalem "UNACCEPTABLE".

 

"Unacceptable" because the White House wants to give ancient Jewish Jerusalem to Islam, as the capital of another Arab terror state.

Foreign Policy magazine used the State Department's search engine to find that the top 10 countries for whom “unacceptable” was most often used by the Obama administration were: Syria (147), Iran (118), North Korea (115), Israel (87), Pakistan (83), Russia (78), Egypt (77), China (74), Afghanistan (66), and Iraq (63).
 
Most of the condemnations relating to Israel involved building in settlements or the announcement of plans to construct additional housing behind the Green Line.
 
US government spokespeople also castigated Israel for civilian casualties during the Protective Edge operation against Hamas terrorists in Gaza, although Israel made extraordinary efforts to avoid collateral damage, even going to the extent of warning  of upcoming destruction of Hamas arsenals.  Hamas admitted more than once that it used human shields, and that it launched rockets from UN facilities and private homes.

According to Sen-elect Tom Cotton (R-AR), Obama’s priorities regarding Cuba, Iran and Israel were out of whack.
 
“I think it’s appalling that President Obama would consider putting an embassy in Teheran, or for that matter Havana, before he puts one in Jerusalem,” Cotton said. “I think it’s just a continued example of how he’s weak and soft on our adversaries to whom he grants concessions, and yet harsh on our allies to countries like Israel."

<p>The St. Petersburg Zoo in Russia shared cute images of an unlikely friendship between a lynx, Linda, and a domestic cat named Dusja.</p>

It all began when a homeless calico cat made her way into the St. Petersburg Zoo, according to KFOR.

The homeless cat (Dusja) found food in a lynx’s enclosure, and the lynx (Linda) accepted the cat into her life. Soon enough, they became best friends.

HOW VIOLENT AND DEPRAVED VIDEO GAMES ARE SHAPING THE MINDS OF CHILDREN

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chilling truth about the video games your children got for Christmas: How titles like Pay Day 2, Grand Theft Auto and Mortal Kombat corrupt children as young as five.
  • Scenes include women tied to train tracks and a man's kneecaps drilled
  • Study found violent games can make 12 to 14 year olds more aggressive
  • 13-year-old boy in Glasgow slashed a rival's throat before quoting a game

  •  
    A generation ago, entertainment during the Christmas period revolved around families playing board games before sitting down to watch the Morecambe And Wise Christmas Show and a Bond film.
    Lucrative: Grand Theft Auto 5 made £650 million in its first three days on sale and is popular worldwide
    MAYHEM ON GRAND THEFT AUTO 5
     
    But this year, the launch of two super-powerful games consoles — the Sony PS4 and Microsoft Xbox One — meant that, more than ever, video games like these were among the most popular presents received.
     
    And despite such stomach-churning content and 18 ratings, the uncomfortable truth is that in hundreds of thousands of homes the person ripping the parcel open was a child.
     
    One in five gadget-mad under-16s asked for video games this Christmas. And according to one survey, it seems many parents are happy to give their children what they want, with eight out of ten having bought a technology-related present for their offspring — and, after tablets, video games were the most popular choice.
     
    But would most parents buy these games if they knew the depravity of their content? It seems many do not realise the levels of sex and violence portrayed in such games, and the damage they can do to the under-developed minds of children.

    PALESTINIAN MINISTER SAYS KILLING JEWISH BABIES IS A LEGITIMATE PART OF "RESISTANCE" - 'Moderate' Palestinian Authority honors every terrorist that kills Jews of any age as a hero

     You won't see this news on the mainstream media.  You won't hear the UN or Amnesty International or any other humanitarian organization even mention this.  And governments will be silent. 
     
    International media and governments' racism against Palestinians is evident as they apply lower humanitarian and ethical standards to the words and actions by Palestinians, while they hold Israel to the highest moral standards ever in the history of mankind. 
     
    It is as if saying that Palestinians and other brown and black races are not capable of discerning good from evil, so they get a pass.
     
    Palestinian Authority (PA) minister says 3.5 million shekel fine imposed by Israel upon murderer of one-year-old infant and his father is “delegitimizing the [Palestinian] national resistance"

    PA Prisoner Affairs Minister Issa Karake claims murder of one year-old is 'resistance' and that punishment 'deligitimizes' 'struggle.'

    A Palestinian Authority (PA) "minister" has justified the murder of a one year-old Israeli baby as legitimate "resistance" against IsraelPalestinian Media Watch reports Monday.
     
    Israel fined Ali Sa'ada, a terrorist prisoner who murdered the child and his father, with 3.5 million shekel ($896,355) earlier this month.
     
    Asher and Yonatan Palmer
    Asher and Yonatan Palmer, murdered by Palestinians
    According to PMW, Prisoners' Affairs Authority Director and PA Parliament Member Issa Karake protested the move, saying it is "delegitimizing the [Palestinian] national resistance" against Israel. 
     
    "[Israeli] courts have been... passing sentences on prisoners that force them to pay large sums in financial compensation to Israelis who have been exposed to resistance by Palestinians," Karake  told the WAFA news agency two weeks ago.
     
    Sa'ada was convicted last year of murdering 25 year-old Asher Palmer and his son Yonatan in a rock attack in September 2011. 
     
    Karake's remarks follow the praise of both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority for the murder of three-month-old baby Chaya Zisel Braun hy"d in a "car rampage" attack by an Islamic Jihad terrorist in October.
     
    In his capacity as Minister of Prisoners’ Affairs, Issa Karake has a long history of glorifying terrorist murderers, as documented by Palestinian Media Watch.
     
    Hamas openly praised the baby's murder in the wake of that attack, whereas PA negotiator Saeb Erekat was slightly more subtle, claiming the PA "regrets" all loss of life while equating the murder with the "violence and instability" caused by the "occupation of Palestine."

    THE CUBAN REGIME'S CRIMES - and its new ally in the White House

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    As you read this article (I only posted an excerpt, read full article HERE )  you'll notice  how the Cuban treatment of prisoners' has strong similarities with German Nazi procedures.  The Castro regime does not only punishes but humiliates.  Their torture is sadistic. 
     
    And no wonder.  There are too many shared ideas and methods between Nazism and Communism.
     
    Fidel Castro himself hired former Nazi SS members to train his troops, and his regime has been steeped in discrimination against Afro-Cubans.
     
    And in true Orwellian fashion, the regime's leaders live in luxury and have accumulated enormous fortunes, while their people still struggle in poverty after decades of Communism.
     
    The White House establishes closer relations with Cuban mass murderers, and pursues a lifting of restrictions on Iran, another regime guilty of egregious violations of human rights and on its way to develop nuclear weapons.  At the same time the US administration issues veiled threats of sanctions against Israel to force it to partition its land for the creation of a terror Arab state. 
     
     
    The Cuban Archipelago

    By Jamie Glazov,

    Che Guevara on Motorcycle Diaries:

    Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands! My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood. With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl.
    President Obama’s recent move to cozy up to Communist Cuba is a crucially  important moment not just diplomatically, but as a moral one in regards to human rights, dignity and justice.
    Cuban Relations
     
    As we witness a Radical-in-Chief throwing an economic lifeline to a barbaric tyranny, it is our duty and obligation to shine a light on the dark tragedy of the Cuban Gulag — and to reflect on the unspeakable suffering that Cubans have endured under Castro’s fascistic regime.
     
    Until July 26, 2008, Fidel Castro had ruled Cuba with an iron grip for nearly five decades.
     
    On that July date in 2008, he stood to the side because of health problems and made his brother, Raul, de facto ruler. Raul officially replaced his brother as dictator on February 24, 2008; the regime has remained just as totalitarian as before and can, for obvious reasons, continue to be regarded and labelled as “Fidel Castro’s” regime.
     
    Having seized power on January 1, 1959, Fidel Castro followed the tradition of Vladimir Lenin and immediately turned his country into a slave camp. Ever since, Cuba has distinguished itself as one of the most monstrous human-rights abusers in the world.
     
    A bloody regime
     
    Half a million human beings have passed through Cuba’s Gulag. Since Cuba’s total population is only around eleven million, that gives Castro’s despotism the highest political incarceration rate per capita on earth.   There have been more than fifteen thousand executions by firing squad.

    If not to their home country, couldn't they be deported to an island somewhere?  Just think, any of them could be your next-door neighbor.

    They have all been allowed to stay in consideration to their rights according to the Human Rights Act.  There are thousands of these cases in Britain.  Here are a few examples:
