William Hague proves that one can be a dhimmi and behave like a little “herrenmensch” at the same time

e.g. by

meeting with representatives of three groups at the forefront of the Palestinian civil disobedience movement. After visiting Ramallah, he talked to Palestinians and their supporters about their weekly demonstrations against Israel’s security barrier. Ignoring the violent nature of these protests, Hague praised the idea of “nonviolence” and listened to their arguments. Indeed, he is quoted as telling them that when “negotiations become an eternal promise that is never kept because of Israel’s unwillingness to accept a fair solution, popular resistance to the occupier becomes the only possible alternative remaining to the Palestinians to attain their rights without resorting to armed struggle.”

East Jerusalem

Today East Jerusalem is on the table. Before the 1967 war liberated Jerusalem, Jordanian snipers from illegally annexed East Jerusalem used nearby Jewish buildings for target practice. Residents had to keep their curtains closed and the lights dim in rooms with a view of East Jerusalem, because if they didn’t, they might be killed in their own living rooms.

Only when Israel liberated East Jerusalem, only then could the shades be pulled back and the lights be lit brightly again. But with missiles raining down today, if East Jerusalem is turned over to the terrorists, then those shades will have to be drawn shut again, and the light will die out.

That light will die out not only in Jerusalem, but all around the world. Everywhere that terrorists are and everywhere that they dream of being. Everywhere. If we don’t keep the light lit, then the darkness will grow and the light will be lost.

Censorship at the “Times of Malta”?

A reader comment in yesterday’s on-line edition of the Times of Malta says:

Long live the Libyan El-Fateh Socialist Revolution!!!!! Long live Gaddafi!!!!

Clearly, something is missing here! Where is the usual final sentence: “Death to the Zionists!”?

P.S. for the Libyans: Be careful of whom you deal with in the still a bit infidel Europe:  The man in the center of the photograph does not seem to be the real Maltese Foreign Minister and “Israel critic” Tonio Borg! Indeed, he looks more like the Israeli ambassador to Malta! Next time, check his passport, at least (and if it could have been forged!)!

Update for the Libyans (15/2):  False alarm, it’s him, Tonio Borg. Checked it out. You may trust him. Sorry for that!

Scheiße mit zwei S auf einer Skala (Zum Stand der “Kritik” in Bremen)

Nach Lektüre eines Konferenzankündigungstextes der Antinationalen Gruppe Bremen (ANG),

  • in dem angekündigt wird, dass „mit dieser Konferenz“ u.a. „nach dem Verhältnis [von wem auch immer – nicht ganz klar; RR] zur […] Geschichte der Kritik des Gegenstandes Deutschlands“* gefragt werden soll,

Deutschland ermahnt Israel: Fünf vor Auschwitz

Die Deutschen scheinen sich inzwischen sehr ermutigt zu fühlen, es sich – nachdem es dank einer Menge internationaler Solidarität den Serben schon gezeigt wurde – nunmehr auch nicht länger von Juden verbieten zu  lassen, auch direkt vor Israels Haustür zielstrebig das laut Hitlers “politischem Testament” von ihm ein wenig zu halbherzig geschmiedete Bündnis mit dem Islam zu forcieren. Auch die selbsttätig gleichgeschaltete deutsche Presse, z.B. der Spiegel, lügt doch bezüglich der letzten “Friedensflottille” noch immer einfach bis doppelt (herzzerreißend) von einem “Hilfskonvoi für die notleidende Bevölkerung Gazas”, statt die entsprechenden Kriegsmanöver etwa als internationalen antisemitischen Volkssturm von “Selbstmordprotestlern” (Caroline Glick) und deren zumeist linken Unterstützern zu denunzieren, was angesichts der Fakten – die man auch beim Spiegel längst kennen wird, die man aber lieber schuldhaft, auch viele Menschen auch im eigenen Land in Gefahr bringend, verschweigt – eher richtig, angemessen und wahrhaftig wäre. Was liegt also näher, als anlässlich eines deutschen Ministerbesuchs in Israel mit der “Moralität von Debilen” (Eike Geisel) eindringlich auf einem rein humanitären Besuch einer Kläranlage bzw. sog. humanitärer Organisationen (die Berichte weichen voneinander ab) in der islamistischen Terrorzentrale Gaza direkt von Israel aus zu bestehen, und wenn man seinen Willen nicht bekommt, mit den Selbstmordprotestlern zusammen laut “Foul” zu schreien? Besucht man Israel mittlerweile nicht ohnehin nur noch gleichsam als Besatzungsmitglied eines “Verbands kleiner Kriegsschiffe” (denn das ist laut Duden eine Flottille), um sich mit den arabischen Kumpels in Judäa und Samaria und in Gaza zu treffen, um provokativ Grenzen zu überschreiten und die Israelis das Fürchten zu lehren, um ihnen zu zeigen, dass man vor der Zersetzung der Souveränität des Staates der Juden, die von Antisemiten hingegen schon immer für die angebliche “Zersetzung” aller übrigen Völker verantwortlich gemacht wurden, nicht zurückschreckt, um ihnen dann auftrumpfend vorzuwerfen, sie seien paranoid?

Ahmadinejad offers Obama a helping hand for the November elections

Shh, Obama, can you hear me? I mean this: You let me continue make little bomb for kill all Zionists, and I speak peace like Hitler sometimes in the Thirties until November 2, but much softer. We will not attack you until then (know what I mean: hudna), you have another two years, maybe finally may speech at Berlin Siegessäule, how you say? – get shit out of Rebublicans, afterward become UN king, and I maybe already go to heaven and have 72 nice fresh chicks, so everybody happy as can be. Big win-win deal, got it? Alright man? Good deal? Best I can offer! Now even Russia maybe more afraid, but EU help us sure! So let us lose not time, we almost finished!

Da una lettera scritta dopo un breve viaggio a Gerusalemme [modificato]

Cara Signora G.,

[…]

Il “Suo” Camilleri con il suo “senso dello Stato” con la S maiuscola e spesso e volentieri anche in grassetto e corsivo, non credo che mi piacerebbe. Mi pare che costui scriva con troppo poco rispetto per la Syntax (senza grassetto) e quindi anche per la logica. Ich halte es, so gut ich kann, mit Karl Kraus e, inoltre, il fatto che Camilleri partecipò ad almeno un “No Cav Day” non me lo rende affatto più simpatico – non amo Berlusconi, ma non sono (più) né anti-italiano né antisemita, né antiserbo, né anti-americano (ragion per cui circa quindici anni fa, dopo che i tedeschi, il primo di settembre di quell’anno, 1995, partendo da Piacenza cercarono di bombardare Pale, fui estradato freddamente da Bologna ad opera di un mob proto-nazista variopinto, costituito da amanti della Pace con la P maiuscola e dello Stato, ‘quando ci vuole’ anche con due S, che più o meno tacitamente mi accusava di avere compiuto tutte le nefandezze possibili di questo mondo (e quindi, in ultima istanza, di essere un ebreo con la E maiuscola)).

Sono confermato nel mio giudizio dal fatto che qui, il Nostro dice che “[i]n realtà non faccio altro nei miei romanzi” che raccontare seriamente che “[i]o sono un italiano nato in Sicilia che ha un forte senso dello stato e che stima gli avversari politici che hanno lo stesso forte senso dello stato”. Si tratta quindi quasi certamente di uno scrittore rassicurante con la R – o, meglio, con la kappa – maiuscola e già per questo motivo preferirei non incontrarlo da nessuna parte, neanche nelle sue opere di fiction, poiché temo che mi racconterebbe sempre solo kvesto.

Mi sembra, insomma, che si tratti proprio di uno di quegli ideologi (con la I maiuscola e in grassetto e corsivo) tedeschi “italiani” d’ogni nazionalità, inclusa purtroppo anche quella israeliana, a dir poco odiatori di Israele, che al giorno d’oggi ti saltano addosso a ogni piè sospinto, e pertanto il caso Camilleri Io lo chiuderei volentieri già dopo avere eseguito le mie prime modeste indagini preliminari nell’internet. Poiché a differenza di qualcun altro, che circa due  anni fa or sono fu tentato di buttare i prodotti cartecei del Nostro nella spazzatura, a me forse potrebbe venire voglia di ficcare il libro preso a prestito (per dialettaleggiare un po’ come Camilleri) int el tsess, per poi premere il tasto dell’acqua. Ma chi me lo sturerebbe poi, il water, casomai? Non g’ho né il Temp, né i Skei. Inoltre, dovrei risarcire la biblioteca per il danno economico. Avendo anche già assaggiato qualcosa della sua fiction su internet, un’impresa del genere mi sembrerebbe per ora troppo rischiosa.

Occupational “therapy” for Jews threatened by mass-murder

While DEBKAfile reports that – given that the Russians seem to have agreed with the Iranian anti-Semitic rackets upon starting to feed it with nuclear fuel rods already on the 21st of August, protecting it from an Israeli attack – Israel has probably only one week left for damaging the Bushehr atomic facility without causing much harm to civilians, the so-called Middle East Quartet, of which Russia is part, enthusiastically represented by the new face of the EU, Catherine Ashton, has found just in time another “good” distraction for the Israelis, coercing the anti-Semitic PA president Mahmoud Abbas into “direct talks” within a few hours while there are signs that it is willing to impose its own preconditions on Israel in his stead now, e.g. putting pressure on it to make Judea and Samaria judenrein.

While the “Quartet” and the whole world only feigns to be serious and concerned not only for the Arabs who in their majority, especially in the “West Bank,” still wish to destroy Israel, but even for the Jews, and is indeed only torturing the Israelis in order to have them make more and more concessions to those aiming at their destruction, by acting as if it is all just a game like the Nazis’ “games” explained by the protagonist Guido to his own son in Roberto Benigni’s kitsch film “La vita è bella” in order to have him have some kind of a happy childhood despite the Shoah, Caroline Glick has recently explained (again) the seriousness of the threats Israel is facing thanks to the fact that the West would so very much like to dream on of “peace” and “friendship” with those who are preparing a new Holocaust, and, for a little afterward, the rest of the West’s end:

“The Religion of Believing that Serbs are Mass Murderers”

That is my favorite headline so far this month. My favorite quotation is:

If the tribunal at the Hague were a real court, by the end of the proceedings it would find that what Karadzic is actually guilty of is being a Serb general. And of defending a population that is guilty of breathing while Serbian.

Both are from Julia Gorin.

But under the headline quoted in the headline of this post, there is also another important sentence, contained in a comment by a certain Arius:

What the Muslims did in the Balkans they are trying to replicate to bring down Israel.

Gesti tedeschi e gesta (filo-)islamiche

Mentre il calciatore turco-tedesco Mesut Özil fa il saluto nazista in Sudafrica (vedi screenshot da www.spiegel.de, 11/7/2010, ore 0.39) poco dopo che il parlamento tedesco ha approvato unanimemente una resolutione in cui si chiede ad Israele la cessazione del blocco di Gaza, in altre parole: la “ri-liberalizzazione” del traffico d’armi destinato ad Hamas nonché la facilitazione della circolazione di terroristi antisemiti in Israele, affinché i racket islamisti possano continuare meno disturbati da misure di difesa israeliane a sterminare altri sei milioni di ebrei,  “[i] «pacifisti» a senso unico ci riprovano a mettere in piedi una nuova flottiglia per sbarcare a Gaza. Gli amici italiani di Ha­mas sono in prima linea. Si in­contrano con i diplomatici tur­chi dell’ambasciata a Roma e an­nunciano che sono già pronte sei navi delle 20 previste. L’istitu­to israeliano per l’antiterrori­smo di Herzilya denuncia che si tratta di «una nuova flottiglia del­la guerra santa» pronta a salpare in settembre e punta il dito con­tro gli organizzatori italiani.” (Il Giornale, 8/7/2010)

The first real “official” dead victim of the Turkish-led Islamist “freedom flotilla”

Given that, as opposed to the Turkish “activists” or the Iranian MPs vowing to arrive next, Yehushua Sofer did not seek “martyrdom” for free, will the Turkish prime minister Erdogan apologize and pay compensation to his family? Or will his associate European or US “peace activists”? Or the EU, the “honest broker”, which in the meantime has already jumped on Erdogan’s bandwagon pressing hard for a further easing of the Gaza blockade?

Al-Aqsa Brigade claims attack

A faction of Fatah’s al-Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade claimed responsibility for Monday’s terror attack in the Hebron Hills in which Israeli police officer Yehushua Sofer was killed, reported the Palestinian news agency Ma’an.
The attack came as a response to the raid on the Gaza aid flotilla, according to the report.

“We con the World” blocked by YouTube

Of course it is YouTube‘s legal right to block videos for fear of legal and financial consequences, but the question is: How come they fear this in the case of a real piece of satiric art which is completely independent from the “original,” whose artistic quality is that of a banal advertisement.

From the blog The Cassandra Effect:

Google (Don’t be Evil) has just blocked the video of We con the world – the parody song from LatmaTV.   From Caroline Glick:

As Israel went offline for the Jewish sabbath, YouTube removed most versions of Latma’s hit parody song We Con the World. If you try to access the song on YouTube you receive the notification:
This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Warner/ Chappell Music, Inc. .
Copyright experts we advised with before posting the song told us in no uncertain terms that we were within our rights to use the song because we did so in accordance with the Fair Use Doctrine. The Fair Use Doctrine, copied and pasted below from the US Copyright Office stipulates that it is legal and permissible to use copyrighted material under the fair use doctrine for purposes of parody.

Copyright attorneys also warned us that given our clearly lawful use of the song We are the World, if anyone wished to silence our voices, they wouldn’t target us. Instead they would target YouTube. It is YouTube’s standard practice to remove any material that they receive even the flimsiest threat for because the company wishes to avoid all litigation.

At the same time, this is not YouTube’s first move to silence Israeli voices. During Operation Cast Lead, the IDF Spokesman’s Unit established a YouTube channel and began posting combat footage on its channel to bypass the anti-Israel media and go directly to news consumers.
Shortly after the IDF channel began making waves, YouTube – which is owned by Google – removed IDF videos from the website. After the move evoked a storm of protest, YouTube restored them but flagged the videos in the same manner it flags pornography. People trying to access the videos received a screen saying, “This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube’s user community. To view this video or group please verify that you are 18 or older by singing in and signing up.”
Here’s a link to the write-up of the YouTube move.
If YouTube didn’t already have a track record for censoring pro-Israel material, I would say that despite the obviously frivolous and unsubstantiated nature of the copyright claim against We Con the World, the company was simply erring on the side of caution.

Strange that a search of “Song Parody” on youTube reveals 858,000 hits.  Most are hit song parodies flat out stealing the underlying music and even video from the musician.  But somehow or another, those are ok – but a song by Jews poking fun at the Gaza flotilla’s true intentions MUST BE BLOCKED!  The top hit is a Shakira song with over 32 Million views, ext a Britney Spears video with 29 Million, Katy Perry with 28 Million, and Lady Gaga with 27 Million views.  And I am supposed to believe that those song parodies are fine with exposure of nearly 10 times the viewership and years of availability on youtubes site, while a Jewish parody with 3 million views and a week of exposure on youtube is wrong?  I call Bull$hit on this

Two things I need you to do

1) Defend Free Speech – Support Latma

2) Email YouTube and Demand that all song parodies be blocked – email them about every single individual song – a huge driver of their content is the music video – if they won’t protect free speech and fair use, then they should apply their rules EQUALLY across the board -there nearly a million song parodies waiting – get to work dear readers!

If you’re interested in watching or downloading the video (there exists some free software for doing this, and if you still want to be nice to Google, “google” for it) at the time of this posting at least some links still work, among them the upper one here. To check (later) for other, newer, and hopefully more stable  links I recommend visiting Caroline Glick’s blog. She has just announced that a download link for the video will be posted there tomorrow.

“Turks” and “Germans” parade in Malta to celebrate the “freedom flotilla”

Some newspaper headlines can lie much better than (non-doctored) videos: Who are the victims of Gaza? The inhabitants of Gaza City? All of them? And what did Gaza City do to them? “Free” them of all Jews?

If, by Gaza, the Hamas-run political entity is meant, the demonstration celebrated by the Times of Malta on the 4th of June was certainly not in favor of any victims, it was a demonstration in solidarity with (real and wannabe)  Jew murderers. And it seems that some demonstrators very much wanted this to be quite clear, so clear that the brave Maltese police had to intervene.

Two sieges in one
The following statement made by the Times of Malta might be true:

The organisations supporting the event were Alternattiva Demokratika Zaghzagh, the Arabic Cultural Information Society (ACIS), Euro-Med, Kopin (Koperazzjoni Internazzjonali – Malta), Moviment Azzjoni Xellug, Moviment Graffitti, Peace lab, Stand4Palestine – Malta, Third World Group and Zminijietna.

Judenermahnung

Hey du da! Bist Du Jude? Ja? Dann merk dir eins: Wenn es dir – im Dienst oder auch nach Feierabend – mal passieren sollte, dass Dschihadisten (vulgo: “Friedensaktivisten”) einen Kameraden oder Freund oder Bekannten von dir, der schon am Boden liegt, mit Eisenstangen und/oder langen Messern traktieren und kurz davor stehen, ihn umzubringen, und du stehst hinter den Dschihadisten und hast eine geladene Pistole dabei, nicht sofort auf sie schießen! Riskiere lieber, dass Dein Kamerad, Freund oder Bekannter stirbt, während du die Dschihadisten aufforderst, sich wenigstens kurz dir zuzuwenden, oder um die “Szenerie” herum gehst, um sie wenigstens von vorne zu beschießen (und am besten möglichst nicht zu töten, selbst wenn auch um euch herum die dschihadistische Hölle tobt und/oder dein Bekannter schon ein Messer im Leib hat und/oder jetzt auch von dir noch eine Kugel mitabkriegt, egal, pfeif drauf!). Sonst kriegst du (und dein Land auch) nämlich von links und von rechts ganz schlechte Presse:

Die Autopsie der Opfer [yes!] hat derweil ergeben, dass fünf der neun Toten von Kopfschüssen getötet wurden. Noch ist nicht klar, weshalb mindestens die Hälfte der Opfer [yes, yes!] entweder in den Rücken oder in den Hinterkopf geschossen wurde.

Du sagst, die schlechte Presse kriegst du sowieso?

Hast d’ auch wieder Recht. Das gebietet schließlich nicht nur die “Ausgewogenheit”, sondern noch mehr die Bildung der Schreiberlinge, die  es kaum mehr zu überraschen vermag, dass diese Israelis sogar Tote töten, und, ja, auch nicht einmal mehr, dass sie die Opfer solcher verabscheuungswürdiger Untaten danach auch noch in den [sic] Rücken oder in den [sic] Hinterkopf der Hauptopfer, nämlich – wie jeder weiß – vor allem der linkseuropäischen Journalisten vom britischen Guardian, schießen.

Überraschen zwar nicht, aber wehtun und schocken tut das selbstverständlich trotzdem die ganze Welt und somit selbst die hartgesottensten Journalisten. Verständlich daher, dass vermutlich mindestens zweien, d.h. einem deutschen namens Michael Borgstede und seinem Welt-Redakteur, ohne dass sie es gleich merken, auch schon mal Indirekte-Rede-Konjunktiv und Autopsie-Indikativ unter der Hand eine grammatikalisch eigentlich unerlaubte Verbindung miteinander eingehen lassen:

Insgesamt seien etwa 30 Kugeln in den Leichen gefunden wurden, berichtete der „Guardian“ am Samstag.

Zumal sie dank ihrer Fähigkeit, (mit anderen Journalisten) mitzufühlen,  den Geruch der von den Israelis zu Geschossen umfunktionierten kleinen doppelt toten dschihadistischen türkischen Terroristen in der britischen Redaktionsstube auch an ihrem eigenen Sitzort ein wenig mitgerochen haben und daher ebenfalls ein wenig von ihm betört gewesen sein dürften.

Maltese citizens hit out at ‘peaceful’ protesters: “They sought confrontation and got the confrontation they wanted”

“The activists’ effort […] cannot be considered other than violent and illegal. There is no other way to define a concerted and well planned action which seeks to prevent another from carrying out his lawful activities,” the federation said.

Curious? Read more in “The Times of Malta(stan),” 5/6/2010. Hint: Although it is about ships with a certain kind of careerists aboard, the article doesn’t deal with the anti-Semitic “freedom flotilla,” rather with fish, but if you are not an anti-Semite, you have to hold your nose only if you read that and other articles on that site, too.
