  • 
    NEVER FORGIVE
    NEVER FORGET
    While we commemorate yet another anniversary of the 9/11 Muslim attack on the Twin Towers, and the murder of almost 3,000 Americans, the mainstream media takes pains to avoid mentioning Islam in connection  with this crime.
  • In defiance of public opposition to admitting more potential jihadists into the country, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton proposes to increase by 500% the number of Syrian migrants into the United States. 
  • This in addition to millions of Muslims already in the US with expired visas or no visa at all, (having infiltrated through the southern border), and holders of legal residency permits.
  • President Obama is about to reject a Senate-approved law authorizing Americans to sue Saudi Arabia for damages resulting from 9/11 Saudi terrorists. 
  • Months ago Obama also obstructed a judicial ruling making Palestinians pay compensation to American survivors of terror attacks in Israel. 
  • President Bush did everything possible, legally and by stealth, to protect the Saudis from responsibility for 9/11, although most of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi.
  • There is disturbing information that those terrorists received assistance from Saudi government and diplomats in the US.
  • While the Towers were still burning and all planes were grounded, President Bush managed to spirit Saudi diplomats out of the US to protect them from justice.
  • In other words, American  government authorities have taken the side of the enemy.  There is a name for that.

President Obama protects Muslim Palestinians and betrays American victims of terror in Israel 


“Obama Admin Moves to Block Restitution for U.S. Terror Victims,”

by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 13, 2015:

 

The Obama administration has intervened in a landmark legal case brought by the American victims of Palestinian terrorists, urging the court to limit restitution for the victims out of fear that a sizable payout could collapse the Palestinian government, according to a copy of the court filing.

 

Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken argued in a filing to a New York City court that a hefty payout to the victims of Palestinian terror crimes could burden the Palestinian Authority (PA) and interfere in Obama administration efforts to foster peace in the region.
 
The victims are entitled to as much as $655 million from the PA following the conclusion of a decade-long lawsuit that exposed the Palestinian government’s role in supporting and paying for terror attacks in Israel.
 
The administration’s intervention in the case has drawn criticism from U.S. lawmakers and some of those affected by the decision.
 
Ron Gould, a plaintiff in the case, told the Washington Free Beacon in an interview that there was no reason for the Obama administration to intervene.  “There was really no reason for them to even get involved,” said Gould, whose daughter Shayna was shot in the chest and nearly killed by Palestinian terrorists.
 
“For the Obama administration to stick their fingers where they don’t belong is unconscionable.”  The PA “still seems to have the money to pay the families of the terrorists on an ongoing basis,” Gould said. “They do have the money to pay the piper for losing the court case.”…

YES, THE SAUDI GOVERNMENT
HELPED THE 9/11 TERRORISTS

By Paul Sperry - New York Post

Now we know why the missing 28 pages on 9/11 were kept under lock and key for 15 years: They show the hijackers got help across America from Saudi diplomats and spies in the run-up to the attacks. Because of the coverup, a Saudi terror support network may still be in place inside the United States.
 
A CIA memorandum dated July 2, 2002, stated unequivocally that the connections found between the hijackers, the Saudi embassy in Washington and Saudi consulate in Los Angeles are “incontrovertible evidence that there is support for these terrorists within the Saudi government.”

PEACE WITH THE PALESTINIANS? - ABBAS CALLS ON ARAB LEAGUE TO BOMB HAMAS IN GAZA

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

While Arabs continue to massacre each other in the Middle East, president Obama and the European Union obsessively demand that Israel - the only country with peace, democracy, and human rights in the ME - be partitioned for the creation of yet another deranged jihadist state.
 
The bloody struggle among Arabs is contained between Palestinians, precisely because Israel retains some degree of control over the land ruled by the Palestinian Authority, and a limited blockade over Gaza (Gaza is free to interact with the world through its border with Egypt).
Terrorist Mahmoud Abbas AKA Abu Mazen

Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority chief, would have been deposed long ago if it were not for Israel's protection. 
 
The State Department, the European Union, and the political elite in Israel need to keep Abbas on life support as a so-called "moderate" puppet in order to perpetrate the LAND FOR PEACE HOAX. 
 
Palestinian Authority elections are long overdue.  Everyone knows that if there are free and honest elections in the Palestinian Authority, jihadist parties will win by a landslide.
 
And if president Obama succeeds in imposing its will on Israel and Palestinians get their independent state, it would fall in a matter of hours - days at the most - into the hands of ISIS or other similar jihadist group.

The ever elusive "solution"

There is no ideal solution to the Israeli-Arab problem.  The best option has always been to officially declare Jordan the Palestinian state.  After all, half of the population is of Palestinian origin already (the rest are mostly Bedouin from the Arabian peninsula), and the country has well-established government institutions.

Palestinian Authority Arabs used to have Jordanian citizenship until the Jordanian king revoked it.  They could get financial help and be repatriated to Jordan.   With enough international help Jordan could integrate the West Bank Palestinians.  Billions of dollars have been spent over the decades keeping Palestinians in limbo, waiting for the day when they can destroy Israel.    

(Further on this page read interesting article about how the British illegally created Jordan out of Jewish land destined to be part of the reconstituted state of Israel.)

SATIRE - CHANGE IN US MIDEAST PRIORITIES from fighting terror to having US consulate staff roaming over the Israeli countryside in an armed convoy threatening Israelis with big guns over the safety of olive trees - The US making the world a safer place.

SATIRE by Zbigniew Zwgstkstwig

Christians and other minorities in Iraq and Syria have been making desperate calls for years to the White House for help against rape, torture, and murder at the hands of Muslims in the Middle East.  The White House's switchboard operator dutifully takes down their messages and promises to get back to them, eventually.  

Palestinians call the US Consulate in Jerusalem about a dispute with Jews over olive trees and immediately consulate staff - without consulting with Israeli authorities - mount an armed convoy and proceed to an area under Israeli military control.  

An argument ensued about US consular staff taking sides and meddling into an internal disagreement between Jewish and Arab farmers.  Whatever the Americans said only served to provoke some Israelis who resorted to throwing stones at the convoy.  The Americans drew their M16 and other guns and pointed them at the Jews. 

Arguments and rock throwing are common events.  The question why US consular staff are policing areas of Jewish-Arab disagreement over trees is rather unclear.
 
Thankfully, a  retired US army general friend of mine cleared up my confusion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 
 

The US Army has withdrawn in defeat from hot spots in the Middle East. 
 
Too tough dealing with terrorists and unfriendly locals. 
 
However, bullying Israelis always makes the White House feel good.  And so here is the latest chapter US bullying of Israel.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 
How my friend Mike, a US general, 
explains the new US Mideast policy
 
 I phoned my friend Mike, a retired US general, for clarification.  Tell me this is just more media misinformation, I said.

Mike hurrumphed, and then with all seriousness said: What you read is absolutely correct.  Olive trees have rights too, and we - with our military power second to none - have the obligation to protect them. 

Wait a minute, Mike, I interrupted.  You mean to tell me that with the ongoing massacres of Christians and the advance of ISIS and the bloodshed in Syria and Iraq you guys are now PROTECTING TREES?

Felled olive trees
US cavalry to the aid of these trees
Exactly, said Mike, with an offended tone.  You don't expect us to take care of every single conflict in the world, do you?  In spite of our military prowess our financial means are rather limited, and so we need to pick our battles. 
 
And Mike continued:  Going into the ME and fighting Muslims is expensive and it creates a lot of backlash, believe me.  And it's complicated stuff.  We don't even now who the good guys are anymore.  

Protecting olive trees from Jews, however - Mike added - has no undesirable consequences whatsoever.  Jews are unpopular.  Nothing new there.   And there's no chance of backlash from them.  No fatwas, no terror, no bombs, no 9/11 in return, no cyber attacks. They're like puppies eager to please us. 

Yeah, it takes a lot of courage to pick on them, I thought.

The point is, said Mike, that acting tough with Israel makes us not only feel good, but also look good in the eyes of the Arab world.  It works every time.  And it's easier and cheaper than intervening to save a few hundred thousand victims of Muslim persecution - an action that could imply that we agree that there is persecution and intolerance in Islam, and thus offend our Muslim friends.
 
I was at a loss for words, but I tried anyway: 

As an American I was under the impression that we always stood for what is right and moral, I said, and that we protect nations threatened by big powers.   Aren't the SIX million Israeli Jews threatened by 1.5 BILLION Muslims worthy of protection?
 
Well, sure, said Mike.  But we are also practical folks and we have to stand for the interests of the American people first and foremost.  Unfortunately moral principles sometimes have to be put aside.  If that means throwing the Israelis under the bus, so be it.  It wouldn't be the first time, and the Israelis will just have to understand.  It's not personal, it's politics. 
 
But why protect olive trees, for Pete's sake, I said, running out of patience.
 
Easy.  Shooting at Israelis for no reason would look bad, you know.  Congress would have a fit.  And anyway that's what we finance and arm the Palestinians for.  They do the job.  But if we shoot Israelis in defense of olive trees that Arab claim as theirs, that's very different.  We would have the entire environmental movement on our side.  And the Muslims.  All 1.5 billion of them.

PALESTINIAN SECURITY FORCES CHARGED WITH SERIOUS HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES

PA security forces charged with beating civilians with weapons, firing live ammo, raiding homes with no warrant.  


Palestinian Sec. Forces making Nazi salute
The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) has called for an investigation of the Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces, over reports of serious human rights abuses on Monday in the town of Yatta near Hevron.
 
The abuses started when PA security forces stopped a car for flying the Hamas flag according to PCHR; the passengers, family members of jailed hunger-striking terrorist Zaid Ismail Abu Fanar, were on their way to a solidarity event at Abu Fanar's father's house in Hevron.

PALESTINE - US GOVERNMENT GIVES MILLIONS FOR PALESTINIAN HOME MORTGAGES AND LOAN GUARANTEED - ZILCH FOR HARD-WORKING AMERICANS

U.S. tax payers sent $313 million tax dollars to Palestine to “fund” mortgages for Arabs, and another $110 million in loans to small and medium-sized businesses on the West Bank.

We are told most of it is going to banks, yet lenders are not exactly generous to American businesses or home owners with our inflation-generating monetary policy.   The Fed has been printing $85B every month for a very long time to shore up the U.S. economy.

WHITE HOUSE SAYS PALESTINIANS DESERVE A STATE - SO WHAT HAVE THE PALETINIANS DONE FOR THE USA?

 By  Fresno Zionism Website

Put simply, Palestinians deserve a state of their own.Barack Obama, March 21, 2013

Here I go again. But this time I do not intend to discuss all the reasons that a Palestinian state carved out of the historic homeland of the Jewish people would be a bad thing for what would be left of Israel.  No, today I want to talk about what the Palestinian Arabs have done for America — and what a Palestinian state might do.

FUKUSHIMA WORKERS PROTEST LOW PAY AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS - BUT JAPAN FOUND $200 MILLION TO GIVE TO THE PALESTINIANS

Workers who helped to clean up the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant rallied outside the headquarters of operator Tepco on Friday, protesting that they were forced to work for low pay in dangerous conditions.
 
Among a group of about 100 demonstrators, some said that contractors were hired to find cheap laborers who could easily be fired, AFP reports.
 
“Workers at the Fukushima plant have been forced to do unreasonable tasks. They tend to make easy mistakes under the pressure, but it’s not they who are at fault – it’s the conditions that force them to do terrible tasks,” one man, who did not want to give his name, told AFP.
 
Demonstrators also rallied outside Maeda Corp on Friday, one of the contractors hired to clean up the plant and surrounding areas.
 
In the web of confusing contractors and subcontractors who have worked at Fukushima, many are concerned at the working conditions people are subjected to.

SYRIAN SNIPERS DELIBERATELY PARALYZING CHILDREN

Gunmen are shooting to ’cause misery’ rather than kill; numerous young victims treated in Israel, returned home with donated wheelchairs.   
 
Syrian children are being intentionally targeted by snipers aiming to paralyze rather than kill them, an Israeli doctor told The Times of Israel.
 
Dr. Yoav Hoffman, a senior physician at the pediatric intensive care unit of Western Galilee Hospital in Nahariya, said that his department has received 25 seriously injured Syrian children between the ages of a few months and 17 since last July, delivered to the hospital by the IDF.

BY DENYING THEM ENTRY, PALESTINIAN LEADERS CONDEMNED HUNDREDS OF PALESTINIANS IN SYRIA TO STARVATION AND DEATH

EldefofZiyon website:

Ma'an reports on a brand new Palestinian Arab lie:

Fatah central committee member Mohammad Ishtayyeh said on Thursday that the Palestinian Authority had attempted to negotiate the return of Palestinian refugees from Syria, but Israel had refused.

Ishtayyeh said in a meeting with diplomats organized by the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Ramallah that the PA had tried with all its might to "end the suffering" of Palestinians in Syria through international mediation.

Israeli officials, however, had refused to allow them to come to the Palestinian territories.
What really happened, from AP, January 10, 2013:
 
The Palestinian president said he has rejected a conditional Israeli offer to let Palestinian refugees in war-torn Syria resettle in the West Bank and Gaza, charging it would compromise their claims to return to lost homes in Israel.

Abbas said he asked U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon last month to seek Israeli permission to bring Palestinians caught in Syria's civil war to the Palestinian territories. The request came after fighting between Syrian troops and rebel fighters in Yarmouk, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Syria. About half of the camp's 150,000 residents have fled, according to a U.N. aid agency.

Abbas told a group of Egyptian journalists in Cairo late Wednesday that Ban contacted Israel on his behalf.

Abbas said Ban was told Israel "agreed to the return of those refugees to Gaza and the West Bank, but on condition that each refugee ... sign a statement that he doesn't have the right of return (to Israel)."

"So we rejected that and said it's better they die in Syria than give up their right of return," Abbas told the group. Some of his comments were published Thursday by the Palestinian news website Sama.  Hundreds of Syrian Palestinians have died since then. And it is all because Abbas didn't even give them the choice to live. His "principles" are more important than their lives.

Even as Palestinian Arabs continue to die in Syria, no one is pressuring Abbas to reverse his death sentence. The UN is silent. NGO's are silent. World leaders continue to treat Abbas with respect. Newspaper editorials gush how "moderate" he is.

And Syrian Palestinians continue to die, every day, directly because of a decision Abbas made more than a year ago.

Every single "pro-Palestinian" activist should be asked in every venue they speak if they agree with Abbas. Amnesty International and Oxfam and Human Rights Watch should be asked whether they agree that Syrian Arabs are better off dead than given the even the choice to live.

The Heinrich Boll Foundation, which heard this new Palestinian Arab slander against Israel, should be told the truth.

Shouldn't everyone?

Palestinians die from hunger, medical shortages in Yarmouk
 
BEIRUT: A Syrian monitoring group said Friday it had documented the deaths of 41 Palestinian refugees in besieged Yarmouk camp, including women and children, as a result of food and medical shortages.
 
“Food and medical shortages have killed at least 41 people in the past three months in Yarmouk” in southern Damascus, which has been under suffocating army siege since rebel groups took control of it, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
 
Of the total, 24 have died as a result of malnutrition. The rest died either because of a lack of specialized treatment or because of a shortage of medicines, Observatory director Rami Abdel-Rahman said.
 
According to the Britain-based group, which relies on a network of activists and doctors across Syria for its reports, three of the fatalities were children and 13 of them women.
“Among them was a one-day-old child who could have survived had there been incubators,” Abdel-Rahman said.
 
The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees has frequently warned about the dire conditions in Yarmouk.
 
UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness Thursday described “extreme human suffering” in the camp, saying food shortages continued and that the absence of medical care had led to women dying in childbirth.
 
Syria’s army has imposed sieges on several rebel towns and neighborhoods near Damascus and beyond.
 
The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Peter Maurer, meanwhile, also warned aid was not reaching civilians in Syria as he began a visit to Syria to assess the humanitarian situation and negotiate greater field access for the ICRC.
 
The ICRC president will hold talks in Damascus with a number of senior Syrian government officials and with the leadership and volunteers of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, the ICRC’s main partner in the country. Maurer will also be visiting people suffering the effects of the conflict to observe the situation first-hand.
 
“I am deeply concerned about the escalating violence and its impact on civilians,” Maurer said. “I am determined to press for greater field access for the ICRC and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent – in particular, to improve the impartial delivery of medical aid in besieged areas. Another priority is to ensure that our staff are rapidly given access to Syrian places of detention to assess conditions and treatment.”
 
Yarmouk was once home to some 170,000 people but tens of thousands have fled fighting in the camp.
 
Syria is officially home to nearly 500,000 Palestinian refugees, around half of whom have been displaced by the conflict.

Palestinians starving in Syria refugee camps
CNN - For residents who can afford to leave, their Palestinian refugee status makes travel very difficult. "Our passports are Syrian-Palestinian passports. We can leave Syria, but we can't enter Palestine. Even if we could (leave the camp), we cannot go to Turkey without a visa, and Jordan will never let us in. We cannot go to Iraq. To go to Europe, we need visas. We have no embassies in Syria, but Lebanon will not let us in unless we have already a visa (to somewhere else), since we are only allowed a 48-hour transit visa in Lebanon," Abu Mohammed said.

Palestinian leaders refuse to help their brothers starving in Syria 
FOX NEWS - Leaders of both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority have rebuffed the United Nations Relief and Works Agency's requests for help stemming the mushrooming humanitarian crisis brought on by Syria's bloody civil war. Their refusal to help leaves some 150,000 Syrian Palestinians homeless and facing freezing temperatures, missiles, bombs and food shortages.

Lebanon’s Daily Star newspaper reported that many Palestinian refugees are being denied access to the country almost certainly as a direct result of the intervention of the powerful Lebanese-based militia Hezbollah, (backed by Iran and Syria), whose grip on the country sees them wielding most power in the Lebanese government. Hezbollah has admitted sending fighters to join forces with Syrian President Assad’s brutal regime.

According to the Daily Star, Lebanon is officially insisting that any Palestinian refugee wanting to cross their border to safety must pay a fee of 25,000 Lebanese pounds, the equivalent of $16 per person for a 14-day visa. The fee doubles to extend the duration. That sum might seem a small price to pay to escape a war zone, but for those Palestinians who have fled with little or no money and few if any belongings, it is more than most are able to come up with and places their lives in imminent danger.

JORDAN DENIED ENTRY TO THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIAN REFUGEES
The Jordanian authorities denied entry to thousands of refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria during 2013, Human Rights Watch has alleged. Most were either Palestinian or Iraqi, single, military-age men and people without identity documents. The organisation said in its World Report 2014 that this is a clear violation of international law.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RISE IN PALESTINIAN 'HONOR KILLINGS'


by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik 
 
According to a senior official in the PA Ministry of Women's Affairs, there has been a 100% rise in the number of Palestinian women murdered in the name of "family honor." The official also complained that PA leader Abbas has not fulfilled his pledge to change PA law, which currently protects the murderers of women who were killed because of so-called "family honor":

REPORT: ARABS COMMIT RAMPANT HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES IN GAZA AND THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

 
New report from Arabs in Judea, Samaria and Gaza reveals systemic abuses and oppression by PA and Hamas governments.
 
By Ari Yashar for A7, Israel National News
 
A recent report from January, which the media has kept a tight lip on, has exposed the widespread human rights abuses of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas in Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
 
The report, from the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR), charges PA and Hamas for repeated cases of torture, oppression, assaults on freedom of expression and academic freedoms, as well as ignoring court orders.
 
In January alone the report notes ten Arab residents of Judea, Samaria and Gaza were killed through "anarchy, lawlessness and misuse of weapons," reports Mosaic Magazine.
 
In the same month, ICHR reports receiving 56 complaints of torture and abuse in prisons, 36 of them from Gaza and 19 in PA-controlled Judea and Samaria.
 
85 complaints were received in January of unlawful arrests and unlawful seizing of money, with a large number arguing they were thrown in jail for "politically-motivated" charges.
 
While the PA apparently has no problem arresting its constituents on trumped up charges, it has lauded terrorist murderers jailed in Israel as "heroes," and last week allocated an extra $46 million to give released terrorists a bonus despite being in a debt crisis of $4.6 billion as of last July.
 
The report detailed several particular cases of police brutality, such as an incident on January 12 in which PA police used excessive force to break up a protest of youth north of Ramallah, beating them with clubs and lobbing stun grenades at them. 60-70 of the protesters were wounded in the head and legs.
 
In another case on January 28, a PA policeman opened fire with live ammunition to scatter rock-throwers in Ramallah, despite there being no need according to the report. Later four protesters were wounded after police assaulted them with clubs.
 
On the other extreme, anarchy and lawlessness was exposed as endemic under the PA. On January 18, over 100 men attacked the Yatta municipality building near Hevron, using a bulldozer to break in. Mayor Musa Makhamarah said the attackers were relatives or friends of a municipal council member who was led off, and that no police were dispatched despite the mayor's warnings to the PA in advance.
