In alliance with Gaddafi, the “Times of Malta”…

… currently seems to get more and more of those “readers-writers” it deserves:

Reading the posts on timesofmalta.com should carry a health warning: heartburn.

All the wackos, pettyminded weirdos, people who have never read a book or even a newspaper in their lives: they all come rushing out of the woodwork to post their inane comments based on total ignorance, grocer hearsay, conspiracy theories, beware of the bogey man attitudes, the more the merrier.

If you need evidence of the failure of education coupled with selfish characters plus I am all right so f&%k Jack attitude, it’s all right there. I forgot the lack of grammar, punctuation, spelling, postin with Caps Lock on; it makes one weep with frustration.

And the TOM still wants to attract even more of those authoritarian-minded Maltese half-witted peasants as readers, dragging some of them away from, for instance, Maltatoday. Today, one of its headlines promises the Brutes of Malta that Tripoli – obviously thanks to Gaddafi’s mega-bloody mowing down of protesters in Libya – is “calm” again, though contradicting itself beneath that line (so check back later, dear illiterate, to see if it will remain stable even tomorrow! and comment and buy!); and in another, unsubstantiated, piece, it avidly seizes the occasion to mark Libyans living in Malta who do not like Gaddafi that much, bluntly as “violent,” before investigating any further.

For having done what?

For allegedly having removed a portrait of the great anti-Semitic leader of the Libyan people from a wall inside an Islamic school.

Daphne Caruana Galizia on “Maltese bravery”

If we shout “Gaddafi, stop this bloodshed” we will be knocked out of our senses once and for all.

[Daphne – Really, by whom? We’re a nation of cowards, and you sum up the typical sentiment. If we hadn’t been a British colony at the time we would have surrendered to Mussolini in 1939 for just the reasons you outline. That George Cross went to the wrong people. We endured the bombings because we had no choice and not because we stood up to fascism. Given half the chance, we would have embraced fascism rather than be bombed.]

[At a loss for a headline]

We have agreed on the rules of the protest on Facebook: We will remain peaceful. We will not use sectarian or party-political slogans or posters. The Muslim Brothers may not carry religious symbols. Everything shall remain civil. Everything shall be done according to democratic procedures.

Hamed Abdel-Samad, Tagebuch aus Ägypten: Mein Land, meine Leute, meine Revolution (Diary from Egypt: My Country, my people, my revolution), in: Welt Online, 5/2/2011 (my translation)

Cairo: February 3, 2011. (By Mary Abdelmassih AINA) — News of a massacre of two Christian Coptic families by Islamists just emerged from Upper Egypt with the return of the Internet connections after a week of Internet blackout by the Egyptian regime. The massacre took place on Sunday, January 30 at 3 PM in the village of Sharona near Maghagha, Minya province. Two Islamists groups, aided by the Muslim neighbors, descended on the roof of houses owned by Copts, killing eleven Copts, including children, and seriously injuring four others.

Anba Agathon, Bishop of Maghagha, told Coptic activist Dr. Mona Roman in a televised interview on Al-Karma TV that the killers are their neighbors, who seized the opportunity of the mayhem prevailing in Egypt and the absence of police protection to slaughter the Copts. He said that he visited today the four injured Copts, who escaped death despite being shot, at Maghagha General Hospital and they told him that they recognized the main attackers as they come from the same village of Sharona. They gave the Bishop details of what happened.

Mohamed ElBaradei and the Muslim Brotherhood – two sides of the same taqiyya coin

Hot Air about ElBaradei:

To give you a sense of the level of dishonesty this stooge is willing to stoop to for his new patron, here’s what he told ABC [wearing a green tie; RR] earlier today:

“This is total bogus that the Muslim Brotherhood are religiously conservative,” he said. “They are no way extremists. They are no way using violence. They are not a majority of the Egyptian people. They will not be more than maybe 20 percent of the Egyptian people.

“You have to include them like, you know, new evangelical, you know, groups in the U.S., like the orthodox Jews in Jerusalem,” ElBaradei said.

He said the Islamists were “not at all” behind the uprising.

Variazione su un aforisma di Karl Kraus:

“Lo scandalo comincia quando la polizia procura di Milano vi pone fine.”

Pierluigi Bersani non esclude un’alleanza con Gianfranco Fini. “Davanti a un problema di profilo costituzionale, a una resa di conti tra modello populistico e modello rappresentativo… io vado con chiunque” ha dichiarato in diretta il leader del Pd […].

Some material regarding Israel’s “disproportionate use of violence” against the participants of the “freedom flotilla”

“My head had a very deep cut. The doctor ‘treated’ me for the cameras, but all he really did was wipe the blood off my forehead. I had an open skull wound which he didn’t even touch.”

When the soldier was hospitalized in Israel, he was diagnosed with a fractured skull which also required 14 stitches.

”The mob kept pointing at me and yelling ‘Gilad Shalit,’ and they were very happy that an Israeli soldier had been captured… Later the PA system came on and we could hear the captain saying that the ship had been taken over by the soldiers.”

Commando “B” testified, “I resisted as best I could but without success. I remember they kept screaming, their eyes were insane and full of hate, and I knew it was the end and they were going to kill me…”

“I saw that there was massive bleeding and I could see my intestines spilling out of my stomach… While they were dragging me down the ladder I saw soldier “C” lying on the bottom deck with men acting crazy all around him, they kept beating him without stopping.”

“They tried to strangle me and soldier “C” and you could see the hate burning in their eyes. They told us in English that they were going to kill us. Apparently what kept them from doing it was that there were people who wouldn’t let them and pushed them away.“

Two reading proposals for Chana Ya’ar (Arutz Sheva)

regarding the “genocide,” the “crimes against humanity” and so on (who cares about definitions anymore!) allegedly perpetrated by “the Serbs” at Srebrenica:

1) Julia Gorin: Torture, Evidence-tampering, Beatings, Bribes, Blackmail and Bullying Continue at our International Kangaroo Court: Prosecutors have Witness Kidnapped, Falsely Imprisoned, and Family Detained and Threatened: All in a Day’s Work when a Serb is on Trial

2) Milivoje Ivanišević: The Srebrenica ID Card

PS: I criticize you (or Arutz Sheva) and not the Jerusalem Post (or any Saudi-Arabian, Iranian of German or Italian newspaper or the New York Times), because until yesterday I still thought that at least your newspaper would still care a little bit about the truth and know how half- and quarter-truths can be turned into propaganda lies, and since today I am only hoping that, if Aleksander Cvetkovic should indeed eventually be extradited to Bosnia-Herzegovina, a state founded by an Islamist war-mongerer, you will be covering at least that case closely (and a little critically), especially apropos the evidence concerning the “massacre of thousands of [Muslim and not Serbian] civilians” reported by you.


From Gaza to Malta with love

Paratroop Sgt. Nadav Rutenberg, 20, from Moshav Ramat Hashavim, was killed Friday night, Jan. 11 [sic;  but it was the 7th] during a firefight with Palestinian terrorists near Mefalsim outside the Gaza Strip. A Paratroop Brigades officer suffered moderate injuries and three soldiers of the same unit were slightly hurt. They were hit, according to a preliminary inquiry, by errant mortar fire from another IDF unit on the scene. The incident began with a Palestinian ambush which caught the Israeli patrol by surprise. It developed into a fierce firefight using tanks, mortars and helicopters.

In recent weeks, Palestinian terrorist activity from the Gaza Strip has become increasingly bold, ranging from explosive devices planted on the border fence to missile and mortar fire on Israeli towns and military patrols. [Source: Debkafile]

But tomorrow it will certainly be peaceful there, at the fence, for I am sure that Bianca Zammit will be there again – accompanied by “peaceful” Gazan “farmers,” – protesting and filming against what they allegedly consider to be the  “worst human rights violations” of the world, perpetrated by the Israelis and resulting in the fact that some alleged farmers cannot use “their land” there, at the fence where the Islamist, anti-Semitic, anti-Western terrorists from Gaza like to plant their bombs and stage their ambushes.

So you just… don’t be afraid of any ambush, young Israeli soldiers, tomorrow!

Dr Tonio Borg tells the truth

Asked whether his visit to Gaza would fuel Israeli claims that Malta is a vociferous pro-Palestinian supporter, [Maltese FM] Dr [Tonio] Borg said: “I made it very clear that we have nothing against Israel and we believe Israel’s guaranteed security is essential in the final target of a two-state solution. But we cannot agree with the settlements and we cannot agree with the state the Gazans are in.” (The Times of Malta of today)

No, Mr Borg, you don’t hate Israelis and you don’t hate Jews, at least not more than your dead friend Yassir Arafat, the most famous anti-Semite of the world after Hitler, an Egyptian who got his first military training – for the “final target” of killing Jews – from a former official of the German Wehrmacht, Yassir Arafat whose ideological teacher was Hitler’s pal the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Yassir Arafat whose first aide was Mahmoud Abbas, the current (non elected) “President” of the PA, who wrote his holocaust-denying doctoral thesis in Moscow, Yassir “Why-didn’t-you-kill-more-of-them?” Arafat on whose grave you, in occasion of your visit to the “Holy Land” just laid a wreath. Which is really the best thing to do when one wants to make it very clear that one has nothing against Israel, and even less against the Jews. Continue reading Dr Tonio Borg tells the truth

You don’t have to tell us that, Mr Austin Gatt,

the Jew, the Jew, the Jew is the real villain, always the Jew, the Jew and the Israelis, the ones who always lose in any case — everybody understands that, because it’s just so simple.

The Jew and, of course, those suspected of  Kontaktschuld (German word meaning “guilt of contact”), and even more so if normally they like it very much to blame the Jews too, anzi even more than we from the PN! So… shame on them, let’s smash ’em!

But all we anti-Semites, who have “significant world understanding” (Borchardt) know that already! “Facts but not opinions.” We need no proof, we don’t need anything, we just need…

Infrastructure Minister Austin Gatt asks who “the real villain” of the power station extension contract saga is: “BWSC (who won the contract) or Bateman, the ones with ‘good contacts’ with the Partit Laburista (Labour Party)?”

In an exclusive article that is being published on page 3 in today’s issue, which Dr Gatt says are just facts and not opinions [and who would dare to doubt this! Also both the article, page 3, today’s issue and the publications are facts like me and you too!], the minister goes through the report compiled by the Auditor General who “found no evidence” of corruption or improper influence.

So maybe you can just shut up now for a while, Mr Double-Exclamation-Mark?

Soziologische Islamkritik

Ein italienischer Soziologe gibt auch mal einen Hinweis darauf, woher die Euro-Liebe zum Islam kommt:

Salvini believes the major obstacle lies in the “lack of a reliable partner” on the Muslim side. “Once we would have a credible interlocutor, with no ties with jihad, we can talk about building a mosque.”
“Again, this proves that, when it comes to Islam, authorities don’t feel obliged to play according to the rules,” says Allievi, the sociologist. “Could you imagine a politician refusing to meet with the chief rabbi of Milan because he doesn’t consider him a reliable partner?”

Man denkt, die Juden seien schließlich ja auch Terroristen, oder allesamt Agenten eines terroristischen Finanzkapitals, das seinen Hauptsitz in Israel hat, wobei die Islamisten, wenn es keine Juden gäbe, gar keine Terroristen mehr wären, wenn sie überhaupt je welche waren (sind sie doch ohnehin eher als Widerstandskämpfer zu definieren) und freut sich darauf, dass die Islamisten die Juden schon ausrotten werden. Ein Genuss, für den man  ganz gern auch seine Freiheit hingäbe, so man denn eine hätte. (Oder ist die einzige Form der Freiheit, die viele in Europa sich nur noch vorstellen können, ohnehin die “Judenfreiheit”?)

Die EU verhält sich mit ihren “Gerechtigkeits”forderungen an Israel ebenso. Es geht um abstrakte “Spielregeln”, nicht um irgendwelche Menschenleben.

Scheiß Spiel, “gioco di merda”, direi io, signor sociologo di Stato.

Lula, an arsonist declaring war on Israel

Shortly before deadly fire started raging in the Carmel region, according to the Jerusalem Post, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the anti-Semitic terrorist (Arafat) admirer, or Brazil, recognized a “state” whose “president” has not even gotten any “democratic mandate” anymore, and whose party, Fatah, has just declared once more its will to “liberate” the whole of “Palestine” from the Jews.

Von einem früheren “settlement freeze”

Caroline Glick berichtete vor kurzem über Berichte, denen zufolge

the Obama administration has presented Netanyahu with a plan whereby Israel will cede its rights to eastern Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley to the Palestinians and then lease the areas from the Palestinians for a limited period.

Ähnliche Zustände gab es in Palästina schon mal:

Es gibt […] durchweg Zeugnisse jüdischen Lebens in Palästina, sogar während der Zeit unter den muslimischen Arabern, die ab 638 den Islam mit Feuer und Schwert, Mord und Totschlag, Vergewaltigung und Versklavung nicht nur Palästina eroberten. So schreibt Gedalja von Simiatycze um 1700, nachzulesen bei Bat Ye’or: Der Niedergang des orientalischen Christentums unter dem Islam:

“Wir (die Juden) wurden gezwungen, den muslimischen Beamten eine große Summe Silber zu übergeben, damit sie uns den Bau einer neuen Synagoge erlaubten. Denn obwohl die alte zu klein war, und wir sie nur geringfügig erweitern wollten, war es nach islamischen Recht untersagt, dort auch nur den kleinsten Raum zu verändern. Zuzüglich zu den Geldern war jedermann gezwungen, an den Sultan alljährlich eine Kopfsteuer in Höhe von zwei Goldstücken zu entrichten. Der Reiche musste nicht mehr bezahlen, doch der Arme konnte nicht soviel geben. Alljährlich, meist zur Osterzeit, kam ein Abgesandter aus Konstantinopel nach Jerusalem. Wer nichts besaß um die Steuer zu bezahlen, wurde ins Gefängnis geworfen. Der Abgesandte blieb etwa zwei Monate, so dass sich die armen Juden versteckten mussten.[“]

Präsidentschaftswahlen in Arafatistan [nichts Neues]

Zwischenbericht über die Erfolge der Kampagne Luisa Morgantinis für ihren Kandidaten, den (mindestens) fünffachen Mörder Marwan Barghouti oder: Die Mandela-Option – von Ralph Raschen

“Allerliebste Luisa,
wir von der israelischen Bewegung Frauen für den Frieden wünschen Dir Erfolg bei den nächsten Wahlen. Wir wissen, dass Du die beste Kandidatin bist, und gewiss bist Du unsere Favoritin! Wenn es uns erlaubt wäre zu wählen, würdest Du einstimmig gewählt werden!!!
Herzlich und mit vielen Glückwünschen von all Deinen zahlreichen Freundinnen und Verbündeten in Israel
Gila Svirsky
– Mitglied und Mitbegründerin der Koalition der Frauen für den Frieden
– Mitglied des B’Tselem-Präsidiums
– Frauen in Schwarz, Israel
– Koalition der Frauen für den Frieden [sic, doppelt genäht]”

Homepage von Luisa Morgantini

“Alle Friedensorganisationen und Freiheitskämpfer in Palästina und in Israel sind dieser Frau dankbar, die für sie die Inkarnation dessen bildet, was es an Positivem im Europäischen Parlament gibt. In der Tat habe ich einmal eine europäische Delegation getroffen, die mir gestand, dass sie zwar Angst davor habe, in Krisenperioden wie diesen nach Israel zu kommen, es aber nicht ertragen könne, dass das gesamte Europäische Parlament für viele Israelis und Palästinenser in Luisa Morgantini verkörpert sei.”

Nurit Peled, ebenda

Selbstverständlich war auch sie, die langjährige linkseuropäische Arafatvertraute Luisa Morgantini bei der Beerdigung des Rais dabei. Und wohl weil sie nicht nur als ehemalige “Vorsitzende der Delegation [des Europaparlaments] für die Beziehungen zum Palästinensischen Legislativrat”, sondern auch als “denkendes Herz in Europa” (Morgantini über Morgantini), wo immer sie auch gehen oder stehen mag, stets mindestens mit den Armen in der Luft rudert, um für den Frieden zu wirken, gab es dort – außer Arafat – keine weiteren Toten. Die deutsche Jungle World schrieb wenig später, eigentlich sei es “zwei Tage nach der chaotischen Beerdigung des Palästinenserführers in Ramallah erstaunlich ruhig. Die befürchteten gewalttätigen Demonstrationen sind ausgeblieben, von einem Bürgerkrieg kann keine Rede sein. […] Arafat musste wohl erst sterben, bevor die politischen Institutionen der Palästinenser ihre Funktionsfähigkeit unter Beweis stellen konnten”, und zeigte damit, dass sie noch nie etwas von Luisa Morgantini gehört hatte, obwohl man sie kürzlich sogar in einem von einem deutschen Fernsehsender ausgestrahlten Bericht beobachten konnte, wie sie in einer auf der Beerdigung entstandenen Paniksituation, in der einige anscheinend bewaffnete Männer zu rennen anfingen, mit den Armen ruderte und dann nichts Schlimmes mehr passierte.
