J Street And The Iranian Lobby Together At Last

How could anyone possibly doubt that J Street is pro-Israel when they are so busy working overtime, getting cozy with the pro-Iranian NIAC lobby. They both oppose sanctions against the Iranian government to thwart its nuclear development, and have something else in common: they are both funded by George Soros.

Isn't that special?

There are all kinds of juicy details, like how NIAC seeks to undermine Dennis Ross and create a "Send Hillary" campaign. So sweet, so thoughtful. I wonder how many Clinton supporters will ask, "How high," when NIAC says, "JUMP!"

Remembering the Holtzbergs

It has been a year since the terror attack in Mumbai claimed the lives of Chabad Rabbi Gabi Holtzman, his wife Rivka, and their unborn child (may G-d avenge their blood). By all accounts these were people of good will, fulfilling the Chabad mission of strengthening Jewish life in communities around the world.

Our own local Chabad Rabbi shared a memorial video with us this evening as we lit a candle in their memory. The spirit of their work endures. The lives they touched endure. Their son Moshe endures.

I think the video speaks for itself.

The Polls Tell The Tale

There is a poll running over at Israel National News asking readers what the best solution is to the Arab/Israeli conflict. The choices are:

1. Two states for two peoples
2. Transfer the Arabs to Arab countries
3. Maintain the status quo
4. Give the Arabs of Yesha Jordanian citizenship

At this writing, 1369 people have voted. Only 2% believe in maintaining the status quo. The two states for two peoples idea has 5%. Twenty percent of voters believe they should be given Jordanian citizenship. SEVENTY-TWO PERCENT believe the Arabs should be transferred to other Arab countries. Rabbi Kahane, may G-d avenge his blood, would be proud.

This sentiment is further reflected in Haaretz polling which indicates that Yaakov Katz' National Union party stands to double its current electoral showing, an indication to Katz that the Israeli public is now realizing that Netanyahu is not going to turn Israel from the deadly path of Oslo and the Wye Accords, that instead of rejecting the false two-state solution, he embraces it, as reflected in his government failing to issue any new tenders for construction in Yehuda and Shomron, which even the Olmert government didn't do. The polling indicates the public is moving even further to the right than as reflected in the elections in February.

That's right world. When faced with an intractable enemy, whose unrelenting mission is your genocide, you do not keep them in your midst. There are 22 Arab countries in the world. There is one Jewish country. Go to your people and live long and prosper. It is time for the Arab occupation of Jewish land to end. Go in peace.

Undoing the "Oslo Mindset"

Yoel Meltzer has published the most refreshing op-ed I have read in a long time. His premise is that Israel is caught up in an "Oslo mindset" that is the cause for the political and social calamities being faced by Israel domestically, and internationally. In it he lists an 18 point program for helping Israel shake itself loose from the self-destructive zombie state of the Oslo false peace scenario which has directly resulted in the deaths of more than 1500 Israelis, and embrace a "Jewish mindset."

What follows are Meltzer's 18 points, most of which reflect what I have been saying here, and what movements like Manhigut Yehudit, under the leadership of Moshe Feiglin and Shmuel Sackett, have been advocating. The more this gets written about, perhaps the more Israelis will begin to understand that assimilation is not Israel's destiny or purpose. It is long past time for Israel, and the Jewish people, to come to grips with who we are, and what it is we are supposed to be doing.

1. There is a purpose to the unfolding events of history, and there is a purpose to life. It’s not all random.

2. Real authentic Judaism is much more than what it has been reduced to, to a black and white system of “do’s and don’ts”. The halachic side, although very important, is only part of the picture.

3. The Jewish people have been chosen for a special role in the world.

4. This role can only be fulfilled by the collective Jewish nation living in the Land of Israel.

5. Establishing complete sovereignty in the Land of Israel and creating a model society, from top to bottom, according to the ideals and morality of Judaism is essential for fulfilling this role. However, this nationalistic aspect of Judaism is not an end-goal in and of itself, but rather, a platform that will enable us to fulfill our lofty role of being a “light unto nations.”

6. Israel must interact with the world in order to have an influence, but at the same time must remain separate and independent in order not to be further confused and fragmented by the assimilation of non-Jewish ideas and values.

7. Israel can and must sever the dependency on US economic aid.

8. The real goal of the Jewish State must be alive in our hearts and mind in order to affect our daily lives.

9. Without internalizing these ideas and changing our mindset and eventually our lives, the endless killing in this region, as well as in the world, will continue.

10. The future of the world is dependent on the Jewish people getting their act together.

11. Properly understood, the real goal of the Jewish state is the most idealistic undertaking in the history of mankind.

12. Continuing along on the same path, functioning within our individual and collective “comfort zones”, will not lead us out of the mess. We must, as individuals and as a nation, constantly strive to expand and stretch our comfort zones.

13. Every Jew should feel proud, yet humbled, of the role he has been given, and totally motivated and inspired to do his part.

14. Complaining will not change a thing and it is a waste of precious energy.

15. A positive vision-oriented way of thinking is essential.

16. The Arab and Iranian threat are serious problems facing the Jewish State, and like any problem, they certainly must be dealt with. However, they are not the source of our problems, but rather, the outward manifestation of our own internal problems. Thus, dealing with them alone will not bring us the desired harmony and salvation. The real problem is internally within the Jewish people themselves and stems from a lack of clarity as to our true purpose in the world.

17. There are no shortcuts

18. The world is waiting.

The Blind Leading The Stupid (and news of the weird)

Super genius Ehud Barak, in response to Saeb Erekat's announcement that the PA could push for a bi-national state between the Jordan and Mediterranean, or demand an independent state in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, demonstrated just how deeply some Israeli politicians suffer from Stockhausen Syndrome.

Having so absorbed Arab propaganda that Judea and Samaria is Arab land, and that the Falacstinians are a "people," Barak believes Israel faces dark alternatives if she does not negotiate a settlement with the parties that have sworn to destroy her: a bi-national state, or the unilateral declaration of an independent Falacstinian state in Yesha.

From JPost:

The defense minister said that the fact that Israel was controlling another people for 42 years was at the root of "weakening international support for Israel and phenomena like the Goldstone Report." Barak stated that "it is our responsibility to end this. We have vital interests and nothing needs to happen at any price or by running amok, but we must not be confused regarding our responsibility to reach an agreement with the Palestinians."

Yet another prominent Israeli politician publicly accepting the myth of "occupation," while dismissing the genocidal aims of the Arabs. Reaching an agreement with those who have sworn to kill you is not being responsible. It is being stupid. The Goldstone Report did not happen because Israel is "controlling another people." International support for Israel is not weakening because Israel is "controlling another people."

These things are happening because there has never been much in the way of support, or love of Israel by the international community. Barak is blind to his own nation's history. What was the problem in 1929? What was the problem in the 30's? What was the problem in 1948? What was the problem in the 50's and 60's? There were no "settlements." There was no "occupation," unless you define it the Arab way: the presence of a single Jew anywhere between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean.

Yes, Israel has been irresponsible. Not because it is "controlling another people," but because it has failed to eliminate its enemies. The PLO/Hamas are not parties to be negotiated with. They are parties to be destroyed. No sovereign nation would tolerate a genocidal force in its midst as long as Israel has. And why does this happen? Because Israeli politicians are, for the most part, still guided by the false Zionist notion that if Jews will just act like everyone else, and do what the world tells them to, the world will suddenly stop trying to kill us. This was a false premise in the early 20th century, and it is just as false now.

There is only one guarantee of survival for a Jewish state: the removal of its enemies from her midst, in conjunction with the establishment of real Jewish leadership in Israel that believes enemies are eliminated, not negotiated with and given Jewish land, period.

So while blind, stupid idiots like Ehud Barak and Shaul Mofaz think inside the box of death that the world has been desperately trying to put Israel in for the past 61 years, at least there are some voices that are speaking something resembling sense.

Addressing the Saban Forum in Jerusalem, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman addressed the elephant in the room, reportedly saying that establishing a Palestinian state will not end the conflict. He also reportedly stated that Israeli Arabs would demand the creation of autonomous zones in the Galilee and Negev, while strengthening ties with the PA. Now, this was supposed to be a closed door forum, but Lieberman's comments were immediately reported by Israeli news outlets. So, when do you think the retraction and backspin from Lieberman will happen? I'm guessing no later than Monday, if it hasn't happened already.

Uzi Landau said that any unilateral actions toward declaring independence should be met with an accompanying Israeli annexation of territories in Yehuda and Shomron. Allowing things to go that far with a hostile enemy is ludicrous. If Hamas/PLO were eliminated, if the Israeli body politic was led by those who have the conviction to remove the enemy from their midst, none of this would be an issue. What's the difference between taking that initiative now, or waiting for this dueling unilateral action that Landau describes, which would no doubt lead to bloodshed, perhaps on an even larger and more anarchic scale? Why is decisiveness so elusive for Israeli politicians?

There is only one way to achieve peace with a political/terrorist body that is dedicated to your genocide: Victory.

In a related story that can only be characterized as "news of the weird," DEBKAfile is reporting that Marack Pajama is sending Bill Clinton to lead emmisaries to the PA to put the kaibosh on the Arabs unilaterally declaring an independent state in Yesha. If this is true then it can only be about one thing: Marack, who lost control of the Middle East diplomatic front faster than a contestant in a greased pig catching contest, would only become more unpopular in the region than he is now, and would have no peace settlement for his 2012 resume. This is what happens when you elect a narcissist with daddy issues to the presidency. Way to go America!

Jordan Jumps On The Incitement Bandwagon

When searching for political relevance, the seemingly continuous pastime of the Hashemite regime in Jordan, the thing Jordan does best is join in with the rest of the bullies trying to show it can throw its punches too. This time it's over incitement involving the Temple Mount.

Seems like the new Arab ploy is to emphasize the importance of Jerusalem to the Falacistinians. If they just bitch and moan long enough and loudly enough the world will think that Jerusalem belongs to the Falacstinians and not the Jews. And that if Arab/Muslim leaders push enough buttons they can create an incident to spark the third intifada, which Mahmoud Abbas threatened in June would take place if the Jews were to do something as outrageous as take a nationalist stand on its sovereignty over its lands, including Jerusalem.

Jordan's contribution comes in the form of a statement from the Jordanian ambassador to the US, Zeid Ra'ad Zeid al-Hussein (I think the second Zeid is for emphasis), to the Washington Times that Jerusalem is a powder keg that could be set off by Jewish extremists' attacks on Muslim holy places. This is the dressing sprinkled over what I am calling the "Jerusalem Agenda," which involves maximizing the propaganda campaign that seeks to delegitimate the role of the Jerusalem in Jewish life and history, while simultaneously making it appear to be more holy to Muslims than Mecca.

It's not a wholly irrational plan considering that the world seems to accept every story the Arabs tell as truth, whether it is the made up fairy tale of Palestinian nationalism, or that IDF soldiers are harvesting Arab organs.

So, while the Arabs are filling wheelbarrows with rocks to throw at Jewish worshippers we're supposed to believe that it is Jewish extremists that are the threat, just as the world is supposed to believe that there is no Jewish connection to Jerusalem, despite the overwhelming physical evidence, and the fact that it is mentioned in the Tanach, the Hebrew Bible, more than 800 times, but only mentioned in the Koran zero times.

Watch the video. He seems so concerned doesn't he? Oh yes, there will be a toxic religious atmosphere because of the Jews...I think if you watch carefully you can actually see crap coming out of his mouth...and of course the solution is to get the Jews out of Jerusalem.

So while Zeid says that the Netanyahu government's determination to continue building in Jerusalem will end negotiations, this fabled attack by Jewish extremists will be the "show stopper." So when the third intifada is launched, expect to hear from the Arab media that it was Jewish extremists attacking Muslim holy sites that caused it. We certainly wouldn't want the Arabs inciting violence against Jews to be seen as the problem. That would be dealing with reality, and very few in the international community seem interested in dealing with that.

Smoking Crack With Hassan Nasrallah

Chief looney tune, and ever expanding fat cheeked Jizbullah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, is smoking crack. What other possible explanation can there be for his latest festering gob of dung? This is so hilarious that for a while I thought I had punctured my diaphragm with a rib.

The Associated Press is reporting that the genocidal blob of kibbeh has accused Marack Pajama of having, "an absolute bias in favor of Israel and disregard for the dignity of Arabs and Muslims."

He also seems to think that Marack has gone even farther in his military support of Israel.

I didn't make that up. Feel free to continue reading once the hysterical laughter subsides. I'll wait...

Never mind that Marack is the most openly hostile American "president" Israel has probably ever experienced, making Jimmy Carter look nearly like a friend in comparison, and that military requisitions from Israel for a variety of weapons and spare parts are currently tied up in by-design bureaucratic nonsense, the F-22 sale got crapped on, and the F-35 sale has also been facing more dickering.

The AP reports:

Obama's initial settlement demand was "an American ploy to pass the time and gain Arab sympathy," Nasrallah said, adding any "illusions" anyone had about Obama being more evenhanded have now collapsed.

"What we see is absolute American commitment to Israeli interests, Israeli conditions, and Israeli security ... while disregarding the dignity or feelings of the Arab and Muslims people and their nations and governments."

Nasrallah has it all wrong. Marack wants Israel to freeze construction. He wants Israel's security compromised by moving the borders back to the 1967 lines. The problem is that he, and the circus of morons around him, like Rahm Emmanuel and David Axelrod, haven't the slightest clue as to what the hell they're doing.

Marack kissed Arab/Muslim ass in Cairo, has bowed down and kowtowed to Muslims all over the place, and has turned a blind (or tacitly approving) eye to the problem of radical Islam, even when a radical Muslim guns down our soldiers on our own soil; not surprising though, considering his reckless inaction in Afghanistan is costing American lives on a regular basis.

He made the demand for a Jewish construction freeze, including in Jerusalem, promising that the Arabs would make concessions, which they did not, meaning Israel had absolutely no reason to even consider Marack's demands. Meanwhile, the Falacstinian Authority got the impression that Marack would deliver Israel on a plate, which also didn't happen. What does all of this mean? That Marack is experiencing a narcissist's worst nightmare: everyone in the Middle East hates his fucking guts.

And I dispute that there is such a thing as a dignified Arab government. I see nothing dignified in brutal fascist regimes that condone honor killings, secret police brutality, torture, and the advocating of Jewish genocide.

To whomever is supplying Hassan with his crack...please, stop.

Thoughts On The Anniversary of Kristallnacht

The more things don’t change, the more they stay the same. Just ask Germany. This week marks the 71st anniversary of Kristallnacht, the “night of broken glass,” when the Nazi regime began its mass effort at purging Germany of its Jews. From the destruction of Jewish property and houses of worship, to the deportation of tens of thousands of Jews to concentration camps, Kristallnacht is a nightmare that continues to haunt Jewish consciousness. So how did Germans mark the anniversary? By bedecking the walls of a new Dresden synagogue with swastikas.

A study for the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs states:

“There are no effective, large-scale activities against anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, and the majority of Germans would not support them. Although certain individuals and organizations try to put the problem on the agenda, this is much more cosmetics than a successful strategy.

“...resolutions by the German parliament to reject anti-Semitism…are ineffective actions…presented to the world as a strong defense against the charge of anti-Semitism."

The more things don't change, the more they stay the same.

In the wake of the issuing of the Goldstone report, and the collective fallout of Operation Cast Lead, we have heard much about human rights…for Arabs. We have heard virtually nothing from the world community regarding the human rights of Jews. I have argued here that the reason for this is obvious…our people in exile have always been “other.” With the redemption of our nation’s homeland Israel is not seen as the historic sovereign homeland of the Jewish people, it is the country bestowed upon the people of “other.” We are scorned and hated in exile. We are hated for asserting our sovereignty in our land. We are hated for defending ourselves. We are hated for doggedly refusing to die.

When idiotic Americans, Jews among them, march in the streets with signs saying “Smash the Jewish state,” and “Globalize the Intifada,” without so much as a word of condemnation from the illuminati of the human rights community, it is quite clear where Jews stand…not quite close enough to the edge of the death pit for the world’s liking.

Now we are forced to endure a man in the White House who openly advocates a racist policy against us in our own land, condemning Jewish construction, while condoning illegal Arab construction. In his defense, the only difference between Marack and previous presidents is that they kept their Jew hate behind closed doors, while promulgating racist policies that prevent an American Jew born in Jerusalem from declaring they are born in Israel, this in addition to not even having our capital recognized by our supposed dear friend, America. The White House has, and continues to value the oil and money of our enemies over the blood of Jews. The State of Israel should act accordingly.

Like Shylock in The Merchant of Venice I have to ask my own questions: If we find love shall we not marry? If we marry, shall we not have children? If we have children, shall we not build homes for them? Shall we not build schools for them? If our enemies move against us, shall we not kill them first? If our enemies, with whom we are expected to negotiate, have openly declared they seek our death, shall we not eradicate them?

Over the bloody course of our history, how many Jewish mothers and fathers have been forced to watch their children die at the hands of their enemies? How many Jewish children have been made orphans?

When the world stands by silently while Jews are incinerated in buses, markets, restaurants, discothèques, shot at, and rocketed; when there is no outcry when swastikas appear on the walls of synagogues the week of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, when the world community lines up to condemn Israel for the most basic right of any sovereign nation, that of self-defense, it is quite clear that the world does not care about the answers to those questions. In spite of this, we continue to serve the world. Whether it is Latet, Shevet Achim, Magen David Adom, or any other of the great number of altruistic, life saving organizations created, run, and administered by Jews, by Israelis, we continue to bring healing and help to those in need, even as the world resents our existence, and attempts to deny us the most basic human freedoms.

If the world cared more about supporting the human rights of Jews than it does attempting to strip them from us, there would be no rockets falling on Sderot, Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Be’er Sheva. There would not be yet another generation of Israeli youth being raised on running to bomb shelters, another generation of Israelis growing up in a society of collective post traumatic stress.

And so, when the world once again sits on its hands as our enemies come to kill us, or tries to twist our arms behind our backs to force us to give up our land to our enemies, I respectfully extend my middle finger at the world and say, “Go to hell.”

Post #800: Rantings, Ravings, and a Tale of Two Idiots

Well, here I am writing my 800th post here at OMV. I'm very thankful to all you devoted, if not deeply disturbed readers out there. Who would have thought that cyberspace was longing for a blogger making frequent use of the word "douchebag?" Thousands of hits later, and read in more than 75 countries, I'm just chugging along slapping the idiots, morons, dingdongs and yes, douchebags, who are screwing our collective pooch with their false morality and blim-blam.

Thank you all who keep coming back for more, who leave comments and send emails. I'm just doing my best to tell it like it is, as best I can. I'm glad to have each and every one of you riding with me on this little Twirl-a-Rhea Funfest, which will continue on as long as our planet continues to be invaded by the forces of Planet Asshat. Allow me to wax poetic about two such colossal idiots: Saeb "Gastric Bypass" Erekat, and Shaul "What the hell am I doing?" Mofaz.

Both have recently proposed equally stupid plans for peace. Saeb, whose favorite past time is living the high life in his fancy house, and BMW, while decrying the fate of his "people," has said that if the two-state final solution fails to come about he would back the alternative death plan: a bi-national state for Arabs and Jews. This plan is so laughably stupid that even Shimon Peres would have to sleep on it before saying yes to it.

No doubt this "bi-national" state would be about right of return for Arab "refugees" so they can push the demographics as far in favor of the Arabs as possible. Saeb fails to read the tea leaves. The growing majority in Israel has no interest in coexisting with the Arabs any longer. They are tired of them calling their country the nakba. We gave you genocidal douchebags all of Azza. You turned it into a giant launch pad for more rockets. Israel knows land for peace is a lie, and more and more Israelis, in the face of increasing Arab calls for the destruction of Israel, are realizing the reality that perhaps Meir Kahane (may G-d avenge his blood) was right.

Only an idiot invites the man who stabbed his daughter in the heart to come sleep on his floor.

And if it takes an idiot to do that, we have just the man to fill that roll. His name is Shaul Mofaz, and when it comes to Israeli idiots, he is doing his best to make it known that he is the most idiotic of them all. Don't believe me? Read this:

"Israel will lead and will not be led. We will stop occupying another nation. We must strengthen Israel's position internationally. As a first step, the Palestinian state will be in 60 percent of the West Bank and Gaza. 90 percent of the Palestinians will be there and no settlements will be evacuated."

He then goes on to say that he will graciously keep the main settlement blocks near the green line, but would evacuate 68,000 Jews from our ancestral homeland. This is the kind of guy who makes loving every Jew really really difficult. Here's an idea Shaul. Why don't you enlist in the PA "security forces" with the rest of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade so you can kill Jews yourself instead of letting the middleman do it for you?

This statement is so mind numbingly dysfunctional it borders on sublime. Like so many stupid idiots in the Knesset, Mofaz actually thinks that by giving up Jewish land to Arabs that the world will finally start liking us. Shaul, the world will like us when we're all dead, not a moment before. The Herzlian notion that by trying to be just like the rest of the world, the world will like us. I have no interest in the world liking Israel. I have interest in Israel surviving and thriving. It cannot happen by kowtowing to a world community that would like to see us destroyed. Better to live than to be liked.

And pray, tell Shaul, what nation are you occupying exactly? There has never been a country called Palestine. Israel is certainly not occupying a country that doesn't exist...or are you high on LSD? Maybe Israel is occupying a magical land of pixies and unicorns with a river of moonbeams...yes, let's stop occupying the unicorns. They only desire to spread peace, joy, and magic to the Jews. Do me a favor you braying jackass; when the drugs wear off, move to Sweden.

This is what I'm talking about. Israel's government is laden with stupid idiots who actually believe the Arab propaganda that has been thrown in their faces for so long, with the help of the likes of Shimon Peres.

Where are the leaders who understand that when you have an enemy like Fatah and Hamas in your midst you destroy it, not negotiate with it? Here's an idea, let's send Shaul and Saeb out on a date together. They can give each other candy and flowers, go to dinner and a movie, then go to a motel and see which one can come up with the greater festering pile of stupid. I can't wait to see what that looks like.

Ushpizim? Hardly.

The journalist who concocted the blood libel story of the IDF harvesting Arab organs for the Swedish paper, Aftonbladet (which I'm pretty sure is Swedish for bigoted Jew hating scuzbag), Donald Bostrom, arrived at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv today so that he could attend a media conference in Dimona.

Mr. Bostrom received the sort of welcome that one would expect from Israelis. Youth from the Beitar movement greeted him with protests, and the Ministry for the Negev and the Galilee withdrew its financial support from the conference after it heard that Bostrom was attending.

Can someone please explain to me why it is that Israel is regularly allowing its enemies to enter the country? This past summer hundreds upon hundreds of Fatah terrorists gathered in Beit Lechem to hold their genocidal Jew hating convocation. Some of the attendees came from foreign countries, with blood on their hands, including Khaled Abu Absa, who was one of the perpetrators of the 1978 bus massacre in which 38 Israelis were killed, including 13 children, and 71 were wounded.

Abu Absa was in an Ashkelon prison, but was released in a prisoner exchange. Now, apparently, like a Southwest Airlines customer, he "may now move freely around the country."

What is it about Israelis that they consistently seem to toss common sense out the window, in favor of offering hospitality to her enemies? I mean, if you were the head of a country whose bloody enemies were gathering to discuss the best way to move forward with killing you, wouldn't the sensible thing be to drop a bomb on the building?

What can be done to reach out, strengthen, and heal a nation whose leadership, in large part, suffers from Stockhausen Syndrome?

More than 1500 Israelis have been killed since Oslo. How many more will have to die before the nation is inspired to put real Jewish leadership in the Knesset, who will defend the people and the land of Israel from those who seek to destroy her, instead of serving them tea and cookies?

With ushpizim like Bostrom, who needs enemies? I don't know, but I think the Knesset may need therapy.
