I was at the pro-Hamas rally across from the Israeli consulate last night. There you could find a lot of young Arab-Americans who were ranting for Hamas. I was carrying Israeli and American flags together and was approached by many of the Hamas supporters who yelled, "Shame!" at me, as if they thought I would somehow find shame in opposing Hamas.
Let's face something. These are supposed to be Americans, not Palestinian Arabs. They live in a democracy and not an Arab Islamic inspired dictatorship. Yet they love the Arab dictatorships of the Middle East. Other ethnic groups that immigrated to America in the last two and half centuries wanted to be Americans. They fought and died for this country. But among Arab-American youth, not every last one, but the vast majority, they are Muslim Arabs first, or Christian Arabs who are Pan-Arabists.
Many of them in the ANSWER Coalition are wannabe communists and Marxists, particularly the quislings of Jewish descent among them. They are primitive in their support of the primitive Arab societies of the Middle East. The fault for this lies in our own American educational system that is slowly being infiltrated by Muslim educators from the Middle East. More on this later, but if you'd seen the mob yesterday in downtown San Francisco, you'd understand what I mean.

MORE ON ANNA BALTZER, THE ISM'S EVA BRAUN
Steven Stotsky at CAMERA has written an excellent review of the ISM/s Eve Braun, Anna Baltzer who tours American churchs and campuses on behalf of Hamas terrorists for the little commies in the IWPS. Anna says she's not a communist so we ahve to assume she's jsut a lying opportunist who has a nice sinecure. What's amazing is how a woman with such a low IQ can make a good living touring with a propaganda campaign such as hers with a straight face, telling everyone she is a "peace activist" while concluding her presentations always jsutifying terrorism and war against Israel. Anna also likes to say she's an "eyewitness" to Israeli abuses that apparently only scenarios given her by Lamis Andoni for her to repeat. Lamis Andoni is the daughter of the PFLP apparatchik Ghassan Andoni who helped found the ISM and recruit little Jewish wannabe communist revolutionaries to run around for the totalitarian Arabs.
Anna, have you no shame? Apparently not.
Chomsky Lite: Anna Baltzer Joins anti-Israel Campaigns
By Steven Stotsky of CAMERA
Extreme anti-Israel groups often feature like-minded Jewish individuals in their campaigns, events and writings. These voices provide a public relations fig leaf for organizations singling out the Jewish state for one-sided condemnation. The logic, obviously, is that if Jews themselves are leveling harsh criticism at Israel, the organization’s own assault must have merit. But what actually counts in statements about Israel, the Palestinians or any other topic are the facts of the issue – not the ethnicity, religion or personal psychology of the speaker.
Anna Baltzer is one such Jewish defamer, a relative newcomer who tours US campuses, churches and community venues denigrating Israel with baseless and propagandistic allegations. Her personal story has a familiar ring; she claims to have been raised on the Zionist dream but says "vacations" in Iran, Syria and Lebanon and an extended visit to the West Bank opened her eyes and transformed her into a determined opponent of "the occupation." Those well versed in the history and contemporary reality of the conflict will recognize in Baltzer’s presentation a re-packaged version of standard accusations against the Zionist state.
Equally predictable are her anecdotal descriptions of Palestinian hardship and alleged Zionist brutality. Likewise familiar is Baltzer’s invoking of her Jewish roots and grandparents lost to the Holocaust to establish her supposed moral authenticity.
But family aside, Baltzer’s ideological roots are firmly planted in the anti-Zionist movement. An acolyte of deceased Israeli radical, Tanya Reinhardt and Noam Chomsky, she is affiliated with the International Women’s Peace Service (IWPS), a group closely associated with the International Solidarity Movement. Her political message closely reflects the official Palestinian line claiming Israel is a foreign occupier guilty of ethnic cleansing and that the wrongs done to the Arabs can only be righted by reverting back to a mythological pre-Zionist Palestinian land.
False claims about land ownership
1) Baltzer builds her argument against Israel on key historical falsehoods. In a tactic of propaganda, she repeatedly asserts the falsehood that the West Bank and much of Israel itself belonged to the Palestinians as though it were commonly accepted truth. She claims Jewish settlements on the West Bank are illegal according to international law and the land "belongs to the Palestinians, [and is] internationally recognized as Palestinian land." None of this is true; in reality, UN Security Council Resolution 242 (and official United States policy) characterizes the West Bank and Gaza as disputed territories subject to negotiation. Many recognized legal experts (including Professors Julius Stone and Eugene Rostow) argue that the settlements are legal, irrespective of any political view about the advisability of building or removing them.
2) Baltzer perpetuates the falsehood that all land not already under Jewish ownership prior to 1948 belongs to the Palestinians. A series of maps on her Web site depict the annexation of Palestinian land by Jews. A map labeled 1947 shows eight percent under Jewish ownership, and incorrectly assigns the remaining 92 percent to the Palestinians. But most of the territory she assigns to the Palestinians was state-owned property under Turkish and subsequent British and Jordanian governments. In 1967, when Israel took control of the West Bank and Gaza in the context of a defensive war, state land came under the sovereignty of Israel, which is how it remains until a "final status" settlement is achieved.
3) Baltzer further confuses the land issue in alleging Israeli Arabs are discriminated against because they are barred from owning most of the land. In reality, within Israel itself, only 6.5 percent of the land is privately owned and although Arabs constitute 20 percent of the population they own roughly half of that private property. They have equal access to the remaining roughly 80 percent of land that is government-owned state land. In practice and under new court rulings Arabs also have access to JNF land which accounts for the remaining 14 percent.
4) Baltzer makes other bizarre claims about land in Israel. In her blog she quotes Dr. Salman Abu Sitta, whom she identifies as a former member of the Palestine National Council, who states,
78% of [Jewish Israelis] live in 14% of Israel. The remaining 22% of [Jewish Israelis] live in 86% of Israel's area, which is Palestinian land ...only 200,000 Jews exploit 17,325 sq. km, which is the home and heritage of 5,248,180 refugees, crammed in camps and denied the right to return home. (April 30, 2007)
This absurd assertion denies Jews the right to 86 percent of the land within their own internationally recognized borders. Tellingly, her repetition of Dr. Sitta’s claims suggests she sees nothing wrong with reducing Israel into densely populated "bantustans;" precisely what she accuses Israel of doing to the Palestinians.
5) Her recapitulation of the events surrounding Israel’s founding are standard revisionist mythology. She recounts how "the militant Zionist Irgun and Stern Gang systematically murdered more than 100 men, women, and children in Deir Yassin" and describes it as "part of a carefully planned and orchestrated process that would induce the flight of 70% of the native population to make way for an ethnically Jewish state." (Anna’s blog: April 30, 2007)
And in her DVD, "Life in Occupied Palestine," she asserts:
The majority of the people living on the land the UN designated for a Jewish state were not Jewish. Zionist forces expelled 750,000 Palestinians from their homes.
The charge of an orchestrated plan and process to expel Palestinians has been thoroughly refuted by serious scholars. Professors Efraim Karsh and Benny Morris, for instance, both reject the charge of an orchestrated expulsion, and conclude the overwhelming majority of Arabs who fled did so in the context of war – one launched by Arab armies and militias against the fledgling Jewish state. Their scholarship is supported by the admissions of Arab officials that the Arab population was urged to flee by its own leadership. According to various UN commission reports, between 472,000 and 726,000 Arabs fled the territory that became Israel. Only a small fraction of these were physically uprooted by Jewish forces, in most cases to insure critical roadways remained open during open hostilities.
Demonizing Zionism and defaming Israelis
1) Predictably, Baltzer casts Zionism as a racist movement. She describes a Zionist as "someone who supports the idea of an exclusively Jewish state." This is a baseless distortion of mainstream Zionism. Israel is a democratic state that protects the rights of all its citizens to freely and openly practice their religions. According to Freedom House, an organization that rates political, religious and civic freedoms around the world, Israel is the only nation in the Middle East to be rated as "Free." Most of the region’s states were given the lowest rating of "Not Free." (See the Middle East portion of the Freedom House Map of Freedom reproduced on the left)
One is left to wonder how Baltzer’s "vacations" in Iran and Syria, nations controlled by repressive regimes that restrict speech, assembly and the rights of minority groups, somehow convinced her that Israel was the region’s most serious human rights violator.
2) Her account of the fighting in Jenin in April 2002 repeats the most outrageous propaganda disseminated by the Palestinian Authority in the days immediately after the Israeli incursion. She writes in her blog on November 24, 2003:
Jenin has a reputation for fighting back. Locals say that in April of 2002, it took 12,000 Israeli troops 8 days to capture one small section of the city because so many people fought to the death...
... Soldiers bulldozed homes indiscriminately, without regard to whether any civilians were still inside...
Israel used bulldozers to minimize soldier casualties, but no one knows how many Palestinians died in the attack... Shortly afterward, Israel announced 46 casualties, less than a quarter of their original estimates. Israeli soldiers’ and Palestinian civilians’ testimonies of unarmed men being executed and bodies being crushed suggest that this number is wildly inaccurate. Still, Israel maintains that a massacre never happened at all, and without access to the bodies, nobody can prove that those who went missing were actually killed.
At the time she wrote this entry, even HRW and Amnesty International, as well as the UN — all fierce critics of Israel — had repudiated claims that a massacre had occurred, counting 52 to 57 Palestinian dead along with 23 Israeli soldiers. Most of the Palestinian fatalities were identified as combatants. The relatively low Palestinian toll after eight days along with the uncharacteristically high toll of Israeli soldiers contradicts Baltzer’s narrative. Israel could have limited its own casualties by resorting to artillery and aerial bombardment, but in order to minimize Arab civilian casualties, went in on the ground and suffered notable losses.
3) She criticizes Israel’s security barrier, "the wall" in her terminology, but avoids any discussion of why it was built. Even Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Abdallah Shalah acknowledged the effectiveness of the barrier, stating:
"… For example, they built a separation fence in the West Bank . We do not deny that it limits the ability of the resistance to arrive deep within [Israeli territory] to carry out suicide bombing attacks, but the resistance has not surrendered or become helpless, and is looking for other ways to cope with the requirements of every stage [of the intifada]…" (Al-Sharq, March 23, 2008 ).
As an advocate of non-violence, she betrays no ambivalence in her opposition to the barrier despite the fact that it has saved both Israeli and Palestinian lives by reducing opportunities for violence to occur. Baltzer’s determined opposition to the barrier suggests that promoting the political agenda of "resistance" supercedes any concern for preserving Israeli or Palestinian lives.
Baltzer’s radicalism and ties to Islamic extremists
1) Baltzer’s rhetoric and writing are a window on the emerging nexus between the far-left and the Islamic extremists of Hamas. This is exemplified by her association with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a radical group whose members sheltered two British-born terrorists prior to their carrying out a suicide bombing of an Israeli nightclub in 2003 and who today are working on behalf of Hamas to undermine Western efforts to isolate that radical Islamic organization in Gaza.
In her blog, she reveals her participation in ISM strategy sessions and coordination with its activists. ISM’s claims to adhere to a non-violent creed are contradicted by the praise its co-founder, Huwaida Arraf, expressed for suicide bombers:
Nonviolent resistance is no less noble than carrying out a suicide operation... The Palestinian resistance must take on a variety of characteristics — both nonviolent and violent. But most importantly it must develop a strategy involving both aspects...
2) The relative calm in the West Bank since 2005 and on-going tenuous efforts by responsible governments to foster cooperation between the Abbas government and the Israeli government have reduced opportunities for extremists to instigate "resistance" activities in these areas. Professional agitators like Baltzer have thus migrated to more extreme opponents of compromise, like Hamas in Gaza. In 2007, she wrote:
Recently, perhaps the most paralyzing features of Israel's continued control over Gaza ... is the US and Israeli-led economic embargo against the Palestinian government since Hamas' victory last year....the United States, Europe, and Israel ... say they will only return the Palestinians' lifelines if Hamas agrees to three conditions: (1) renouncing violence, (2) accepting previous agreements, and (3) recognizing Israel. These conditions sound reasonable enough, but are painfully ironic for anyone living on the ground here. True, Hamas has not sworn off violence once and for all, but neither has Israel! In the past year, Palestinians have killed 27 Israelis, most of them soldiers. During that same period of time, Israelis have killed 583 Palestinian civilians (suicide bombers, fighters or others targeted for assassination are not included). Hamas has held fairly consistently to a unilateral ceasefire since January 2005, when they announced their transition from armed struggle to political struggle... Hamas says it reserves the right to resist violently, but has stopped attacking Israelis. Israel claims that all it wants is peace, yet the daily invasions and assassinations continue.
And finally, the last and crucial condition is that Hamas must recognize Israel. The question is, what exactly is meant by "Israel"?... Israel has an artificial Jewish majority that was created and is maintained through various forms of ethnic cleansing. Israel's very existence as a Jewish state is conditional upon the dispossession and either expulsion or bantustanization of the indigenous Palestinian population...
Hamas too has indicated that it would consider peace if Israel withdrew to its internationally recognized 1967 borders leaving Palestinians with just 22% of their historic homeland, but Israel says full withdrawal is out of the question. It is Israel who has yet to recognize Palestine's right to exist, not the other way around. (April 7, 2007)
Baltzer here adheres closely to Hamas’s narrative of the conflict. These excerpts from a lengthy blog entry are riddled with deceptive manipulation of terms. For instance, while Hamas accepts temporary truces it firmly rejects the right of the Jewish state to exist and refuses to disavow armed struggle. Recently, when an interviewer asked Hamas political chief, Khaled Meshal if Hamas could ever accept Israel. He answered,
No, the question of recognition is out. I have already said we would be able to sign a truce. There are other formulas, but we have already stated that recognition is not among them. (Euronews, July 11, 2008)
Nor has Hamas stopped trying to attack Israel despite Baltzer’s nonsensical claim that Hamas has adhered to the 2005 ceasefire. From January through August 2008 alone, 1087 rockets and 1218 mortar shells were fired on Israel from Hamas-controlled Gaza and Hamas has taken credit for a number of terrorist incidents inside Israel since 2005.
Her statistics on Palestinian casualties are misleading. Through careful cross-checking of Palestinian sources, CAMERA has demonstrated that the groups Baltzer relies upon for her figures play games with how they classify terrorists and militants as civilians or non-combatants. For example, the pro-Palestinian Israeli group B’Tselem categorizes known terrorists killed in Israeli air strikes as non-combatants so long as they were not carrying out an attack at the time of their demise. Another CAMERA study combed through the weekly reports of the Gaza-based monitoring group Palestinian Committee for Human Rights (PCHR) and calculated 58 percent of all Palestinian fatalities between April 2006 and April 2008 were identified as militants, resistance activists or members of Palestinian security forces by this partisan group. Israeli tallies indicate that the overwhelming majority of Palestinian fatalities are militants and terrorists.
Curiously Baltzer’s blog falls silent between April 29, 2005 and Jan 26, 2007, a time during which the main news focused on Israel’s decision to withdraw from Gaza and the chaotic results within Gaza afterward, including intensified internecine fighting between Hamas and Fatah.
In 2007, in the midst of an extended period of relative calm between Israelis and Palestinians on the West Bank, she exclaimed in her blog:
Injustice is unsustainable. It cannot be normalized, because there will always be resistance. The third intifada will come...If the third intifada does not succeed, there will be a fourth. And then a fifth… As many as it takes, until justice is served. (April 29, 2007)
Although Baltzer’s organization IWPS proclaims in its mission statement that it is "non-aligned and non-partisan and does not 'take sides' but supports any individual, group or organization who resist the Military Occupation of the West Bank in a nonviolent manner," she implicitly condones violence by urging endless intifadas. Surely she knows that Palestinian and Israeli blood would inevitably flow during the next and any subsequent intifadas.
Like others who have preceded her as roving agitators against the Zionist state, Baltzer feeds off the continuing conflict. Her agenda promotes resentment and holds out to Palestinians the unrealistic hope of reversing a century of Jewish growth and development of the land. This can only push prospects for a peaceful coexistence further away. With continuing attempts to forge a more cooperative and calm atmosphere in the West Bank, it is no surprise that Baltzer and others who share her agenda increasingly align their views and actions with the most determined opponents of compromise, like Hamas.
Anna, have you no shame? Apparently not.

CODE PINK SHOWS ITS TRUE COLORS THIS WEDNESDAY IN LOS ANGELES
Code Pink based in Berkeley, California, and run by the pro-Castro supporter Medea Benjamin has plans for tomorrow, Wednesday December 17th, that should forestall any doubt about whose side the radical leftist group is on in the War on Terror.
Code Pink already grabbed attention for its demonstrations to drive US Marine Corps recruiters out of Berkeley, a stunt that failed, but managed to get Benjamin even on conservative talk show host Bill O’Reilly’s cable news show with the deceptive title under her name of “peace activist.” Prior to the attack on the Marines, Benjamin also did her utmost to help the enemy against our forces when Code Pink sent $600,000 in “medical supplies” to the same forces that were fighting US soldiers in Fallujah at the height of the war in Iraq. Benjamin and her crew will do anything for attention and to harm the image of the United States abroad.
Now, Susie Benjamin (her real name since Benjamin changed her name to the mythological Greek mother who murdered her own children to spite her husband, Jason) has found another scene grabber of an event to show what a “peace activist” she is by organizing a demonstration to attack outgoing President Bush with symbolic “shoes” at the US federal building in Los Angeles. The confidential email below was broadcast to Code Pink supporters:

Dear Lee,

Wednesday, December 17th, 5:00--6:30 PM
More Shoes for Bush!
Join us at the Federal Building at the southwest corner of Wilshire Blvd. and Veteran Ave., in solidarity with the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at George W. Bush at a Baghdad press conference on Sunday. Peace activists will gather outside the Federal Building with shoes representing Iraqis and U.S. soldiers who have died since the Bush Administration's illegal invasion of Iraq.
We aim to show support for Iraqi journalist Muntader al-Zaidi, who hurled his shoes at President Bush while he spoke at the conference during his "surprise" visit to discuss the war. Al-Zaidi is currently being held by Iraqi police and questioned on his actions. The peace activists are calling on the Iraqi government to release al-Zaidi without charges. "It's outrageous that al-Zaidi could get two years in prison for insulting President Bush, when Bush is directly responsible for the deaths of 1.5 million Iraqis and 4,200 U.S. troops, and 5 million displaced Iraqis," says Jodie Evans of CODEPINK. "The one who should be in jail is George Bush, and he should be charged with war crimes."
Bring shoes to label with the names of Iraqi dead, and shoes to put on poles as they are doing in Iraq. Let's stand in solidarity with the Iraqis who have suffered at the hands of George W. Bush. Let's stand in solidarity for the "widows and orphans" he has created.
For more information and to RSVP, contact Audrey.
If you can't make it, please sign this petition that CODEPINK D.C. will be delivering to the Iraqi embassy.
See you in action,

Benjamin and her cronies claim they are showing support for a 25 year-old Iraqi journalist who insulted our president because he allegedly created “widows and orphans” when in fact it was Saddam Hussein who President Bush removed after Saddam created many more Iraqi women and orphans during his reign of more than 30 years in Iraq, no to mentioned starved children in his own country for meglamanical aims. What Code Pink’s event his Wednesday shows is that the phony “peace group” Code Pink is really on the side of America’s enemies in the War on Terror and wants no punishment for someone who assaulted the President of the United States. The irony is that it was during President Bush’s watch that Medea Benjamin and Code Pink were able to send funds to the very enemy our American soldiers were fighting during the war that America has now won in Iraq and were able to grow as an organization due to lax laws regarding the funding of subversive "non-profits" such as the Holy Land Foundation during most of the Bush presidential years.
The more people in our country know about Code Pink and Medea Benjamin, the more Americans will start to stand up to such a pernicious group.

HAS THE SJP SIGNED ITS OWN DEATH WARRANT AT CAL?
The situation is clear. A week ago a Jewish visitor to the Cal campus was sucker punched from behind by an SJP leader in the student government offices on campus.
The Palestinian student group then went into classic lockstep and groupthink and began lying that the assault was the other way around.
The situation revolved around a pro-Israel hip hop concert on campus below the student government balcony where the Students for Justice in Palestine chose to hang PLO flags to negate the message. As one Jewish promoter of the event went upstais and tried removing the flags (set up without permission as required), a Husam of the SJP punched him in the back of the head knocking him down. This is sort of how the Arabs fight Israel too then cry victimhood and violations of legal norms when they get it back.
At any rate, the SJP students are holding fast to committing perjury in an attempt to have the Jewish victim charged with a hate crime and other Jewish student leaders on campus punished or expelled or recalled from student government. he pusillanimus
Student Activity Director at Cal, Jonathon Poullard who just loves the SJP students
is of course going after the Jewish kid who was hit and the Daily Cal newspaper has been trying to convince evryone that the SJP students were the victims. Nevertheless:
Let me just say that the SJP has put something in motion here that is going to come back and bite them on the ass. Stay tuned here for updates as the SJP buries itself more and more surrounding these events while thinking they have put one over on the Jewish community.

MORE ON ANNA BALTZER, SERIAL LIAR FOR ARAB TOTALITARIANS: THE ARABS' TOKYO ROSE
Anna Baltzer found a nice sinecure for herself as the Jewess who is against the Jews in Israel. She travels around to churches in America and tells them that Israel
is committing fake atrocities, She concludes her speech with a call and excuse to violence that is subtly worded to suggested hitting an intruder to your house with a lamp. It sure beats working. Anna, who has a book, I Witness Palestine, recited claims of atrocities that she not only never verified or saw herself, but that were told her to say by her Arab handlers,Lamis Deek.

Chomsky Lite: Anna Baltzer Joins anti-Israel Campaigns
Extreme anti-Israel groups often feature like-minded Jewish individuals in their campaigns, events and writings. These voices provide a public relations fig leaf for organizations singling out the Jewish state for one-sided condemnation. The logic, obviously, is that if Jews themselves are leveling harsh criticism at Israel, the organization’s own assault must have merit. But what actually counts in statements about Israel, the Palestinians or any other topic are the facts of the issue – not the ethnicity, religion or personal psychology of the speaker.
Anna Baltzer is one such Jewish defamer, a relative newcomer who tours US campuses, churches and community venues denigrating Israel with baseless and propagandistic allegations. Her personal story has a familiar ring; she claims to have been raised on the Zionist dream but says "vacations" in Iran, Syria and Lebanon and an extended visit to the West Bank opened her eyes and transformed her into a determined opponent of "the occupation." Those well versed in the history and contemporary reality of the conflict will recognize in Baltzer’s presentation a re-packaged version of standard accusations against the Zionist state.
Equally predictable are her anecdotal descriptions of Palestinian hardship and alleged Zionist brutality. Likewise familiar is Baltzer’s invoking of her Jewish roots and grandparents lost to the Holocaust to establish her supposed moral authenticity.
But family aside, Baltzer’s ideological roots are firmly planted in the anti-Zionist movement. An acolyte of deceased Israeli radical, Tanya Reinhardt and Noam Chomsky, she is affiliated with the International Women’s Peace Service (IWPS), a group closely associated with the International Solidarity Movement. Her political message closely reflects the official Palestinian line claiming Israel is a foreign occupier guilty of ethnic cleansing and that the wrongs done to the Arabs can only be righted by reverting back to a mythological pre-Zionist Palestinian land.
False claims about land ownership
1) Baltzer builds her argument against Israel on key historical falsehoods. In a tactic of propaganda, she repeatedly asserts the falsehood that the West Bank and much of Israel itself belonged to the Palestinians as though it were commonly accepted truth. She claims Jewish settlements on the West Bank are illegal according to international law and the land "belongs to the Palestinians, [and is] internationally recognized as Palestinian land." None of this is true; in reality, UN Security Council Resolution 242 (and official United States policy) characterizes the West Bank and Gaza as disputed territories subject to negotiation. Many recognized legal experts (including Professors Julius Stone and Eugene Rostow) argue that the settlements are legal, irrespective of any political view about the advisability of building or removing them.
2) Baltzer perpetuates the falsehood that all land not already under Jewish ownership prior to 1948 belongs to the Palestinians. A series of maps on her Web site depict the annexation of Palestinian land by Jews. A map labeled 1947 shows eight percent under Jewish ownership, and incorrectly assigns the remaining 92 percent to the Palestinians. But most of the territory she assigns to the Palestinians was state-owned property under Turkish and subsequent British and Jordanian governments. In 1967, when Israel took control of the West Bank and Gaza in the context of a defensive war, state land came under the sovereignty of Israel, which is how it remains until a "final status" settlement is achieved.
3) Baltzer further confuses the land issue in alleging Israeli Arabs are discriminated against because they are barred from owning most of the land. In reality, within Israel itself, only 6.5 percent of the land is privately owned and although Arabs constitute 20 percent of the population they own roughly half of that private property. They have equal access to the remaining roughly 80 percent of land that is government-owned state land. In practice and under new court rulings Arabs also have access to JNF land which accounts for the remaining 14 percent.
4) Baltzer makes other bizarre claims about land in Israel. In her blog she quotes Dr. Salman Abu Sitta, whom she identifies as a former member of the Palestine National Council, who states,
78% of [Jewish Israelis] live in 14% of Israel. The remaining 22% of [Jewish Israelis] live in 86% of Israel's area, which is Palestinian land ...only 200,000 Jews exploit 17,325 sq. km, which is the home and heritage of 5,248,180 refugees, crammed in camps and denied the right to return home. (April 30, 2007)
This absurd assertion denies Jews the right to 86 percent of the land within their own internationally recognized borders. Tellingly, her repetition of Dr. Sitta’s claims suggests she sees nothing wrong with reducing Israel into densely populated "bantustans;" precisely what she accuses Israel of doing to the Palestinians.
5) Her recapitulation of the events surrounding Israel’s founding are standard revisionist mythology. She recounts how "the militant Zionist Irgun and Stern Gang systematically murdered more than 100 men, women, and children in Deir Yassin" and describes it as "part of a carefully planned and orchestrated process that would induce the flight of 70% of the native population to make way for an ethnically Jewish state." (Anna’s blog: April 30, 2007)
And in her DVD, "Life in Occupied Palestine," she asserts:
The majority of the people living on the land the UN designated for a Jewish state were not Jewish. Zionist forces expelled 750,000 Palestinians from their homes.
The charge of an orchestrated plan and process to expel Palestinians has been thoroughly refuted by serious scholars. Professors Efraim Karsh and Benny Morris, for instance, both reject the charge of an orchestrated expulsion, and conclude the overwhelming majority of Arabs who fled did so in the context of war – one launched by Arab armies and militias against the fledgling Jewish state. Their scholarship is supported by the admissions of Arab officials that the Arab population was urged to flee by its own leadership. According to various UN commission reports, between 472,000 and 726,000 Arabs fled the territory that became Israel. Only a small fraction of these were physically uprooted by Jewish forces, in most cases to insure critical roadways remained open during open hostilities.
Demonizing Zionism and defaming Israelis
1) Predictably, Baltzer casts Zionism as a racist movement. She describes a Zionist as "someone who supports the idea of an exclusively Jewish state." This is a baseless distortion of mainstream Zionism. Israel is a democratic state that protects the rights of all its citizens to freely and openly practice their religions. According to Freedom House, an organization that rates political, religious and civic freedoms around the world, Israel is the only nation in the Middle East to be rated as "Free." Most of the region’s states were given the lowest rating of "Not Free." (See the Middle East portion of the Freedom House Map of Freedom reproduced on the left)
One is left to wonder how Baltzer’s "vacations" in Iran and Syria, nations controlled by repressive regimes that restrict speech, assembly and the rights of minority groups, somehow convinced her that Israel was the region’s most serious human rights violator.
2) Her account of the fighting in Jenin in April 2002 repeats the most outrageous propaganda disseminated by the Palestinian Authority in the days immediately after the Israeli incursion. She writes in her blog on November 24, 2003:
Jenin has a reputation for fighting back. Locals say that in April of 2002, it took 12,000 Israeli troops 8 days to capture one small section of the city because so many people fought to the death...
... Soldiers bulldozed homes indiscriminately, without regard to whether any civilians were still inside...
Israel used bulldozers to minimize soldier casualties, but no one knows how many Palestinians died in the attack... Shortly afterward, Israel announced 46 casualties, less than a quarter of their original estimates. Israeli soldiers’ and Palestinian civilians’ testimonies of unarmed men being executed and bodies being crushed suggest that this number is wildly inaccurate. Still, Israel maintains that a massacre never happened at all, and without access to the bodies, nobody can prove that those who went missing were actually killed.
At the time she wrote this entry, even HRW and Amnesty International, as well as the UN — all fierce critics of Israel — had repudiated claims that a massacre had occurred, counting 52 to 57 Palestinian dead along with 23 Israeli soldiers. Most of the Palestinian fatalities were identified as combatants. The relatively low Palestinian toll after eight days along with the uncharacteristically high toll of Israeli soldiers contradicts Baltzer’s narrative. Israel could have limited its own casualties by resorting to artillery and aerial bombardment, but in order to minimize Arab civilian casualties, went in on the ground and suffered notable losses.
3) She criticizes Israel’s security barrier, "the wall" in her terminology, but avoids any discussion of why it was built. Even Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Abdallah Shalah acknowledged the effectiveness of the barrier, stating:
"… For example, they built a separation fence in the West Bank . We do not deny that it limits the ability of the resistance to arrive deep within [Israeli territory] to carry out suicide bombing attacks, but the resistance has not surrendered or become helpless, and is looking for other ways to cope with the requirements of every stage [of the intifada]…" (Al-Sharq, March 23, 2008 ).
As an advocate of non-violence, she betrays no ambivalence in her opposition to the barrier despite the fact that it has saved both Israeli and Palestinian lives by reducing opportunities for violence to occur. Baltzer’s determined opposition to the barrier suggests that promoting the political agenda of "resistance" supercedes any concern for preserving Israeli or Palestinian lives.
Baltzer’s radicalism and ties to Islamic extremists
1) Baltzer’s rhetoric and writing are a window on the emerging nexus between the far-left and the Islamic extremists of Hamas. This is exemplified by her association with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a radical group whose members sheltered two British-born terrorists prior to their carrying out a suicide bombing of an Israeli nightclub in 2003 and who today are working on behalf of Hamas to undermine Western efforts to isolate that radical Islamic organization in Gaza.
In her blog, she reveals her participation in ISM strategy sessions and coordination with its activists. ISM’s claims to adhere to a non-violent creed are contradicted by the praise its co-founder, Huwaida Arraf, expressed for suicide bombers:
Nonviolent resistance is no less noble than carrying out a suicide operation... The Palestinian resistance must take on a variety of characteristics — both nonviolent and violent. But most importantly it must develop a strategy involving both aspects...
2) The relative calm in the West Bank since 2005 and on-going tenuous efforts by responsible governments to foster cooperation between the Abbas government and the Israeli government have reduced opportunities for extremists to instigate "resistance" activities in these areas. Professional agitators like Baltzer have thus migrated to more extreme opponents of compromise, like Hamas in Gaza. In 2007, she wrote:
Recently, perhaps the most paralyzing features of Israel's continued control over Gaza ... is the US and Israeli-led economic embargo against the Palestinian government since Hamas' victory last year....the United States, Europe, and Israel ... say they will only return the Palestinians' lifelines if Hamas agrees to three conditions: (1) renouncing violence, (2) accepting previous agreements, and (3) recognizing Israel. These conditions sound reasonable enough, but are painfully ironic for anyone living on the ground here. True, Hamas has not sworn off violence once and for all, but neither has Israel! In the past year, Palestinians have killed 27 Israelis, most of them soldiers. During that same period of time, Israelis have killed 583 Palestinian civilians (suicide bombers, fighters or others targeted for assassination are not included). Hamas has held fairly consistently to a unilateral ceasefire since January 2005, when they announced their transition from armed struggle to political struggle... Hamas says it reserves the right to resist violently, but has stopped attacking Israelis. Israel claims that all it wants is peace, yet the daily invasions and assassinations continue.
And finally, the last and crucial condition is that Hamas must recognize Israel. The question is, what exactly is meant by "Israel"?... Israel has an artificial Jewish majority that was created and is maintained through various forms of ethnic cleansing. Israel's very existence as a Jewish state is conditional upon the dispossession and either expulsion or bantustanization of the indigenous Palestinian population...
Hamas too has indicated that it would consider peace if Israel withdrew to its internationally recognized 1967 borders leaving Palestinians with just 22% of their historic homeland, but Israel says full withdrawal is out of the question. It is Israel who has yet to recognize Palestine's right to exist, not the other way around. (April 7, 2007)Baltzer here adheres closely to Hamas’s narrative of the conflict. These excerpts from a lengthy blog entry are riddled with deceptive manipulation of terms. For instance, while Hamas accepts temporary truces it firmly rejects the right of the Jewish state to exist and refuses to disavow armed struggle. Recently, when an interviewer asked Hamas political chief, Khaled Meshall if Hamas could ever accept Israel. He answered,
No, the question of recognition is out. I have already said we would be able to sign a truce. There are other formulas, but we have already stated that recognition is not among them. (Euronews, July 11, 2008)Nor has Hamas stopped trying to attack Israel despite Baltzer’s nonsensical claim that Hamas has adhered to the 2005 ceasefire. From January through August 2008 alone, 1087 rockets and 1218 mortar shells were fired on Israel from Hamas-controlled Gaza and Hamas has taken credit for a number of terrorist incidents inside Israel since 2005.
Her statistics on Palestinian casualties are misleading. Through careful cross-checking of Palestinian sources, CAMERA has demonstrated that the groups Baltzer relies upon for her figures play games with how they classify terrorists and militants as civilians or non-combatants. For example, the pro-Palestinian Israeli group B’Tselem categorizes known terrorists killed in Israeli air strikes as non-combatants so long as they were not carrying out an attack at the time of their demise. Another CAMERA study combed through the weekly reports of the Gaza-based monitoring group Palestinian Committee for Human Rights (PCHR) and calculated 58 percent of all Palestinian fatalities between April 2006 and April 2008 were identified as militants, resistance activists or members of Palestinian security forces by this partisan group. Israeli tallies indicate that the overwhelming majority of Palestinian fatalities are militants and terrorists.
Curiously Baltzer’s blog falls silent between April 29, 2005 and Jan 26, 2007, a time during which the main news focused on Israel’s decision to withdraw from Gaza and the chaotic results within Gaza afterward, including intensified internecine fighting between Hamas and Fatah. In 2007, in the midst of an extended period of relative calm between Israelis and Palestinians on the West Bank, she exclaimed in her blog:
Injustice is unsustainable. It cannot be normalized, because there will always be resistance. The third intifada will come...If the third intifada does not succeed, there will be a fourth. And then a fifth… As many as it takes, until justice is served. (April 29, 2007)Although Baltzer’s organization IWPS proclaims in its mission statement that it is "non-aligned and non-partisan and does not 'take sides' but supports any individual, group or organization who resist the Military Occupation of the West Bank in a nonviolent manner," she implicitly condones violence by urging endless intifadas. Surely she knows that Palestinian and Israeli blood would inevitably flow during the next and any subsequent intifadas.
Like others who have preceded her as roving agitators against the Zionist state, Baltzer feeds off the continuing conflict. Her agenda promotes resentment and holds out to Palestinians the unrealistic hope of reversing a century of Jewish growth and development of the land. This can only push prospects for a peaceful coexistence further away. With continuing attempts to forge a more cooperative and calm atmosphere in the West Bank, it is no surprise that Baltzer and others who share her agenda increasingly align their views and actions with the most determined opponents of compromise, like Hamas.

Most of the region’s states were given the lowest rating of "Not Free." (See the Middle East portion of the Freedom House Map of Freedom reproduced on the left)
One is left to wonder how Baltzer’s "vacations" in Iran and Syria, nations controlled by repressive regimes that restrict speech, assembly and the rights of minority groups, somehow convinced her that Israel was the region’s most serious human rights violator.
2) Her account of the fighting in Jenin in April 2002 repeats the most outrageous propaganda disseminated by the Palestinian Authority in the days immediately after the Israeli incursion. She writes in her blog on November 24, 2003:
Jenin has a reputation for fighting back. Locals say that in April of 2002, it took 12,000 Israeli troops 8 days to capture one small section of the city because so many people fought to the death...
... Soldiers bulldozed homes indiscriminately, without regard to whether any civilians were still inside...
Israel used bulldozers to minimize soldier casualties, but no one knows how many Palestinians died in the attack... Shortly afterward, Israel announced 46 casualties, less than a quarter of their original estimates. Israeli soldiers’ and Palestinian civilians’ testimonies of unarmed men being executed and bodies being crushed suggest that this number is wildly inaccurate. Still, Israel maintains that a massacre never happened at all, and without access to the bodies, nobody can prove that those who went missing were actually killed.
At the time she wrote this entry, even HRW and Amnesty International, as well as the UN — all fierce critics of Israel — had repudiated claims that a massacre had occurred, counting 52 to 57 Palestinian dead along with 23 Israeli soldiers. Most of the Palestinian fatalities were identified as combatants. The relatively low Palestinian toll after eight days along with the uncharacteristically high toll of Israeli soldiers contradicts Baltzer’s narrative. Israel could have limited its own casualties by resorting to artillery and aerial bombardment, but in order to minimize Arab civilian casualties, went in on the ground and suffered notable losses.
3) She criticizes Israel’s security barrier, "the wall" in her terminology, but avoids any discussion of why it was built. Even Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Abdallah Shalah acknowledged the effectiveness of the barrier, stating:
"… For example, they built a separation fence in the West Bank . We do not deny that it limits the ability of the resistance to arrive deep within [Israeli territory] to carry out suicide bombing attacks, but the resistance has not surrendered or become helpless, and is looking for other ways to cope with the requirements of every stage [of the intifada]…" (Al-Sharq, March 23, 2008 ).
As an advocate of non-violence, she betrays no ambivalence in her opposition to the barrier despite the fact that it has saved both Israeli and Palestinian lives by reducing opportunities for violence to occur. Baltzer’s determined opposition to the barrier suggests that promoting the political agenda of "resistance" supercedes any concern for preserving Israeli or Palestinian lives.
Baltzer’s radicalism and ties to Islamic extremists
1) Baltzer’s rhetoric and writing are a window on the emerging nexus between the far-left and the Islamic extremists of Hamas. This is exemplified by her association with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a radical group whose members sheltered two British-born terrorists prior to their carrying out a suicide bombing of an Israeli nightclub in 2003 and who today are working on behalf of Hamas to undermine Western efforts to isolate that radical Islamic organization in Gaza.
In her blog, she reveals her participation in ISM strategy sessions and coordination with its activists. ISM’s claims to adhere to a non-violent creed are contradicted by the praise its co-founder, Huwaida Arraf, expressed for suicide bombers:
Nonviolent resistance is no less noble than carrying out a suicide operation... The Palestinian resistance must take on a variety of characteristics — both nonviolent and violent. But most importantly it must develop a strategy involving both aspects...
2) The relative calm in the West Bank since 2005 and on-going tenuous efforts by responsible governments to foster cooperation between the Abbas government and the Israeli government have reduced opportunities for extremists to instigate "resistance" activities in these areas. Professional agitators like Baltzer have thus migrated to more extreme opponents of compromise, like Hamas in Gaza. In 2007, she wrote:
Recently, perhaps the most paralyzing features of Israel's continued control over Gaza ... is the US and Israeli-led economic embargo against the Palestinian government since Hamas' victory last year....the United States, Europe, and Israel ... say they will only return the Palestinians' lifelines if Hamas agrees to three conditions: (1) renouncing violence, (2) accepting previous agreements, and (3) recognizing Israel. These conditions sound reasonable enough, but are painfully ironic for anyone living on the ground here. True, Hamas has not sworn off violence once and for all, but neither has Israel! In the past year, Palestinians have killed 27 Israelis, most of them soldiers. During that same period of time, Israelis have killed 583 Palestinian civilians (suicide bombers, fighters or others targeted for assassination are not included). Hamas has held fairly consistently to a unilateral ceasefire since January 2005, when they announced their transition from armed struggle to political struggle... Hamas says it reserves the right to resist violently, but has stopped attacking Israelis. Israel claims that all it wants is peace, yet the daily invasions and assassinations continue.
And finally, the last and crucial condition is that Hamas must recognize Israel. The question is, what exactly is meant by "Israel"?... Israel has an artificial Jewish majority that was created and is maintained through various forms of ethnic cleansing. Israel's very existence as a Jewish state is conditional upon the dispossession and either expulsion or bantustanization of the indigenous Palestinian population...
Hamas too has indicated that it would consider peace if Israel withdrew to its internationally recognized 1967 borders leaving Palestinians with just 22% of their historic homeland, but Israel says full withdrawal is out of the question. It is Israel who has yet to recognize Palestine's right to exist, not the other way around. (April 7, 2007)Baltzer here adheres closely to Hamas’s narrative of the conflict. These excerpts from a lengthy blog entry are riddled with deceptive manipulation of terms. For instance, while Hamas accepts temporary truces it firmly rejects the right of the Jewish state to exist and refuses to disavow armed struggle. Recently, when an interviewer asked Hamas political chief, Khaled Meshall if Hamas could ever accept Israel. He answered,
No, the question of recognition is out. I have already said we would be able to sign a truce. There are other formulas, but we have already stated that recognition is not among them. (Euronews, July 11, 2008)Nor has Hamas stopped trying to attack Israel despite Baltzer’s nonsensical claim that Hamas has adhered to the 2005 ceasefire. From January through August 2008 alone, 1087 rockets and 1218 mortar shells were fired on Israel from Hamas-controlled Gaza and Hamas has taken credit for a number of terrorist incidents inside Israel since 2005.
Her statistics on Palestinian casualties are misleading. Through careful cross-checking of Palestinian sources, CAMERA has demonstrated that the groups Baltzer relies upon for her figures play games with how they classify terrorists and militants as civilians or non-combatants. For example, the pro-Palestinian Israeli group B’Tselem categorizes known terrorists killed in Israeli air strikes as non-combatants so long as they were not carrying out an attack at the time of their demise. Another CAMERA study combed through the weekly reports of the Gaza-based monitoring group Palestinian Committee for Human Rights (PCHR) and calculated 58 percent of all Palestinian fatalities between April 2006 and April 2008 were identified as militants, resistance activists or members of Palestinian security forces by this partisan group. Israeli tallies indicate that the overwhelming majority of Palestinian fatalities are militants and terrorists.
Curiously Baltzer’s blog falls silent between April 29, 2005 and Jan 26, 2007, a time during which the main news focused on Israel’s decision to withdraw from Gaza and the chaotic results within Gaza afterward, including intensified internecine fighting between Hamas and Fatah. In 2007, in the midst of an extended period of relative calm between Israelis and Palestinians on the West Bank, she exclaimed in her blog:
Injustice is unsustainable. It cannot be normalized, because there will always be resistance. The third intifada will come...If the third intifada does not succeed, there will be a fourth. And then a fifth… As many as it takes, until justice is served. (April 29, 2007)Although Baltzer’s organization IWPS proclaims in its mission statement that it is "non-aligned and non-partisan and does not 'take sides' but supports any individual, group or organization who resist the Military Occupation of the West Bank in a nonviolent manner," she implicitly condones violence by urging endless intifadas. Surely she knows that Palestinian and Israeli blood would inevitably flow during the next and any subsequent intifadas.
Like others who have preceded her as roving agitators against the Zionist state, Baltzer feeds off the continuing conflict. Her agenda promotes resentment and holds out to Palestinians the unrealistic hope of reversing a century of Jewish growth and development of the land. This can only push prospects for a peaceful coexistence further away. With continuing attempts to forge a more cooperative and calm atmosphere in the West Bank, it is no surprise that Baltzer and others who share her agenda increasingly align their views and actions with the most determined opponents of compromise, like Hamas.

I'M APPEARING ON TALK RADIO THIS WEEK
TONIGHT (WEDNESDAY, NOV.12th) I can be heard on the Radio Liberty Newtork at 9pm PST with Dr. Stanley Monteith to discuss the new President and his friend Rashid Khalidi.
Call in if you like: www.radioliberty.com.
THURSDAY MORNING (NOV.13th) I will be appearing nationally on the syndicated MANCOW SHOW out of Chicago at 7am. Although that is on the airwaves, if you google MANCOW you should be able to hear the show on the Web.
I also had a run-in with the Neo-Nazi website FreeAmerican.com but the outcome may have been to the good. This is a website that runs the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, but after coming up against the anti-Semitism on the website and proing it wrong to the host, there were some changes made. Alison Weir of the ISM and her If Americans Knew website that is both anti-Semitic and Nazi inspired like Weir herself had a link to them removed by the host. Sadly, the Protocols are still up and if I am invited back I intend to see they are removed.
I can also be heard any time via Podcast on my show The Islamic Agenda at www.jerusalempulseradio.com where I give you news and information on the War on Terror not normally heard in mainstream media. Try to listen in. ALso, evry Tuesday night from 8-10pm PST I appear on Utah's K-Talk.com, the Jim Kirkwood Show where I discuss the War on Terror and Homeland Security issues.

SHOEBAT/ SALEEM SPEECH AT BERKELEY A ROUSING SUCCESS
They had to turn away over 700 people due to lack of seating at Walid Shoebat and Kamal Saleem's UC Berkely event "Why We Want to Kill You." Attempts by the SJP and MSA to read prepared statements during the questions and answer period did not sway the majority fo the audience that understood what Shoebat and Saleem were saying: AMerican Muslims need to support america and not overseas terrorist states. Each time someone from the SJP tried to make an accusation, the speakers shot them down with facts. Last week, the anti-Israel academic fraud Norman Finklestein only garnered 150 attendees, most being students who Hatem Bazian FORCED to attend the lecture from his Arabic language class. Contrast this with the 1,450 people who came last night. This only proves that the majority of students at Berkeley support Israel and America, and that those who support the terrorists are just noiser. As Kamal Saleem said at one point about that problem, "Thank you Saudi Arabia."
There will be more changes like this at Berkeley and the adminstration should be on notice. Arab oil money should not buy UC Berkeley or its Middle East Studies department forever. I encourage you to visit my other sites www.dafka.org and www.StoptheISM.com because we will be returning to UC Berkeley in the near future.
Students interested in starting a chapter can email me at programs@dafka.org.
Walid Shoebat will be speaking tonight at the University of Reno if anyone who missed last nght can make it. To those who missed out, he'll be speaking at SFSU next year to an even bigger crowd.

COME HEAR WALID SHOEBAT AND KAMAL SALEEM AT UC BERKELEY TONIGHT AT 7:15 PM
The event "Why We Want to Kill You" has already attracted hundreds of advanced ticket holders but you can still attend the event of free tonight at UC Berkeley's Wheeler Hall, just past Sather Gate on campus,at 7:15 pm. Free general admission seating will open up at 7 pm.
Tonight UC Berkeley Arab language instructor Hatem Bazian will be discussed along with Berkeley's conduct in looking the other way at a Middle East Studies Center funded by al Qaeda supporters,as well as the odious Students for Justice in Palestine ("Justice" of course being the end of Israel). Bazian recently forced his Arab language students to attend a speaking event given by Norman Finklestein, a pseudo-academic who has been fired from every academic position he held because of poor scholasticism. Finkelstein, with Bazian's arm twisitng of his students only garnered 150 attendees at his propaganda event bashing Israel (he's a Jewish quisling for the Arabs). In contrast, the Shoebat event already has nearly 400 seats already filled in Wheeler Hall with advance ticket reservations (and we didn't have to offer class credit to do so). Don't worry, we still have a few hundred seats for walk-ins but anticpate a full house. Walid and Kamal will be on the Armstrong and Getty Show on morning talk radio radio here in the Bay Area, so be sure to tune in and hear them if you can't make the event on campus. But do come if you can. We expect standing room only. And you can expect to hear the truth for once on the Berkeley campus from former PLO terorists who will tell you the truth about Israel and America and why they deserve your support in the War on Terror.
I had dinner last night with Walid Shoebat and Kamal Saleem and they are two articlulate and intelligent men. Tonight's event should be fascinating for those lucky enough to attend. For advance reservations email info@berkeleygop.com or just show up at the door. It will be an evening you don't want to miss. The SJP and MSA on Berkeley's campus will be exposed as the terrorist supporters they are.

GAZA FLOTILLA IN HOT WATER WITH HAMAS
Due to the pussilanimous attitude of Ehud Barak, the Gaza Flotilla was allowed to proceed to Gaza. But contrary to the ISM's habit of patting itself on the back, Hamas officials were less than thrilled when they found out that Huwaida Arraf and Paul LaRudee spent nearly $500,000 to ferry 40 ISM idiots to Gaza from Cypress for
"humantiarian needs" that consisted of 200 hearing aids that could have been mailed for $200 and--get this--5,000 balloons. Whoopee.
Do you readers realize how many Arab families could have been fed with that $500,000?
Also, since Arraf works primarily with Fatah, she is not considered fully on the Hamas team. Hamas recently murdered nine Fatah members in Gaza by pumping gasoline into their anuses until they died. These are lvoely people the ISM shields for, aren't they? A few weeks ago, I speculated that Riad Hamad who helped raise funding for the flotila was found bound and gagged and drowned in Ladybird Lake near Austin, Texas. I speculated that Hamas killed him for dipping into the funds his organization was raising, including the flotilla funds. Maybe Huwaida and Paul LaRudee can also meet the same fate after Hamas realizes they blew half a million bucks on a Greek isle getaway vacation.
The game is not over yet, though. The Gaza Flotilla has to go home to Cyprus and will need to pass again through Gazan waters. Paul LaRudee has violated Israeli law by entering territory under Israeli control after being banned earlier for links to Hamas. Huwaida Arraf holds an Israeli passport through her father and can be prosecuted. Let's hope the Israeli government (and Barak) wake up and smell the ocffee and practice common sense.

GAZA FLOTILLA: A FREE GREEK VACTION FOR ISM MORONS
You can never underestimate Norcal ISM leader Paul LaRudee and his assistant, over-the-hill bottled blonde anti-Semite Greta Berlin from Women in Black in Los Angeles. They wanted a dream sailing vaction in the Greek Isles, and what better way to get one than to claim they have a "flotilla" (two rickety chratered sailboats) heading to buck the Israeli Navy and break the naval blockade of Gaza to facilitate the smuggling of more weapons to Hamas.
LaRudee had most of the $210,000 out of a goal of $300,000 in donations sent directly to his home in El Cerrito, California where there's a nice shiny new car in the driveway and he lives like most of his radical-communist-wannabe-revolutionaries-
spolied-brat ISM children could only hope to have. His co-partner in raising money for this trip was just found murdered in Texas. Seems he was dipping into the till. Those Hamas boys don't like it when you steal from them and the FBI might have turned LaRudee's partner toward state's evidence.
You gotta love Greta Berlin's hypocrisy. This woman hates the USA but she named one of the boats "LIberty" after the USS Liberty that was sunk by accident by the Israeli Air Force in a combat zone when it was mistaken for an Egytpian communications spy ship. Now, she's a great American patriot showing the world that Israel really killed the US sailors on board intentionally, and how those big bad Jews should be stopped from controlling the great humanitarians in Hamas.
These two turkeys, in their great humantiarian mission, plan to bring a few hundred hearing aids to the children of Gaza. That's the Gaza Flotilla's big humnaitarian gesture, you see.
So let me see here. They could ship this stuff to the Palestinian Arabs for maybe $200 but need to spend $200,000 + dollars to bring them in via smuggling lanes as an affront to the Israeli Navy. Sure, try and trump up some bullshit humaitarian cause to justify your Greek vacation in the Isles. Will these two seek tax deductions as well for their trips? This remains to be seen.
If you want to see what an anti-Semite Greta Berlin is, go to www.StoptheISM.com and click on Rogues Gallery. Find Greta's profile then scroll to the bottom and see what her stepdaughter says about her hatred for Jews. As for LaRudee, he was already deported from Isael for connections to Hamas. You see, he knows there's no way he will get back in since he tried going under a false identity and has worked for Hizballah later. So, what the hey, why not a pricey Greek vacation at the expense of his revolutionary movement for the Order of the Perpetual Whiners, the Palestinians?
Oh, yeah. We shouldn't forget Hedy Epstein, fake Holocaust survivor. Hedy's parents were anti-Zionist idelogues in Nazi Germany who refused to emigrate to Palestine when they could so sent their teenage daughter before the war to the UK where she never went hungry a day in her life. Her parents, however, perished in the camps in Aushwitz.One wonders if as they died they said to themselves, "Well, we don't care, because we don't believe in a Jewish homeland or Jewish self-determination and we hope our daughter (who was nearly an adult at the time) will carry on for us and aid the Nazi allied Arab governments and their Grand Mufti who aided and encoruaged our extermination." Hedy makes a living now at this anti-Israel, anti-Zionist stuff and as a phony "Holocaust survivor." Ah, anything for a buck in the ISM.....
Also there's what's-her-name Tony Blair's sister-in-law wanna-be Christiane Amanpour-- type journalist. Tony Blair's sister-in-law is another piece of work. Blair doesn't support her trip, but hey, if she can get herself in the news to look like a legitimate reporter, why not? Besides, Arab oil money can always make her look like a real journalist if they finance and pay to print her tripe.
The rest of the assorted losers and Arabs on the voyage aren't worth a cup of warm spit. Meanwhile, a lot of them went into personal debt for this trip (unlike LaRudee and Berlin who got a Greek Isles acation out of it). Nothing like a good shtup on a sailboat under the stars in the Mediterranean rather standing for Tibet for the people in Darfur...
The Hamas recently took some captured Fatah members and pumped gasoline into their anuses until they died. Yup, Hamas is a worthy charity for these ISM creeps. As for people starving in Gaza, it ain't realy true as UNWRA makes sure they are fed. You don't see Gazan children walking aroudn without clothes or shoes or with distended bellies as in Africa. They don't all live rich, just the crooks at the top of the Arab food chain.
It was the ISM with thier constant crap and with the deaths of Rachel Corrie and Tom Hurndall, two useful idiots, who managed to open the Rafah Crossing. What did that net Israel? More missiles and more dead Jews. So why shouldn't they try the same tack to open the sea lanes to Gaza. Think of all the missiles and guns that they can smuggle.
Here's hoping the IDF sinks this flotilla. The comedic version of Ship of Fools.

DID HAMAS KILL RIAD HAMAD?
For those unfamiliar with the ISM, Palestine Children's Welfare Fund in Texas is one of their affiliates. The charity claims to raise money for Palestinian children, but on its website it used to extoll terrorism and suicide bombers. Paul LaRudee, of Norcal ISM whoI got deported from Israel in 2006 has been working with PCWF collecting money for a chartered boat to try and break IDF naval control of Gaza to facilitate smuggling in more weapons by sea to attack Israel.
Fundraising for this flotilla was being raised through PCWF with LaRudee listed as a fundraising coordinator for the event, funds being sent to Larudee's home address in El Cerrito, CA. The FBI has been looking into PCWF's fundraising, especially since monies raised by PCWF were disburded in Palestinian refugee camps run by UNWRA that is run by Hamas. Riad Hamad as the head of PCWF may have contributed to his own demise by ticking off Hamas leadership.
Hamad sued writers David Horowitz, Daniel Pipes and Joe Kaufman for libel and defamation in a lawsuit where I was also mentioned in a brief. The suit was declared frivolous by the judge and Hamad was forced to pay out over $60,000 in legal expenses and sanctions to the defendants. Hamad, a schoolteacher, probably had to pull that money from PCWF funds that were destined for Hamas via the UNWRA camps.
That plus growing scrutiny by the FBI of PCWF fundraising may have made Hamad a liability for Hamas fundraising in the USA (40% of Hamas fundraising is estimated to be coming from the US and UK illegally). The Gaza flotilla on the PCWF site also contained an invite from a high level Hamas official. The Holy Land Foundation trial, also in Texas where PCWF is based also is looking into Hamas funding through
fake charitable donations to children.
Hamas may have felt that Hamad was about to be exposed by the FBI, or they may have been ticked off at $60,000 lost due to the frivolous lawsuit, or they may have feared Hamad turning state's evidence for the FBI. In any case, Hamad was found drowned in Ladybird Lake in texas. The Austin Police said it was suicide but his hands and feet were bound and he was gagged with masking tape.
The pro-Arab whackos are running around claiming this was a Mossad of FBI hit, but no way. Hamas probably killed Hamad because he knew too much and his flamboyant style was calling attention to his fundraising activities on their behalf. If Hamad pulled the $60K in court sanctions from Hamas destined funding, that too may have been a death warrant for Hamad.
At the same time this is occuring, in the West Bank the IDF has raided numerous Hamas
offices where records of money laundering from the US may have been turning up. Hamas may have feared that Hamad's involvement was about to be exposed.
In any case, GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH.
Fundraising for this flotilla was being raised through PCWF with LaRudee listed as a fundraising coordinator for the event, funds being sent to Larudee's home address in El Cerrito, CA. The FBI has been looking into PCWF's fundraising, especially since monies raised by PCWF were disburded in Palestinian refugee camps run by UNWRA that is run by Hamas. Riad Hamad as the head of PCWF may have contributed to his own demise by ticking off Hamas leadership.
Hamad sued writers David Horowitz, Daniel Pipes and Joe Kaufman for libel and defamation in a lawsuit where I was also mentioned in a brief. The suit was declared frivolous by the judge and Hamad was forced to pay out over $60,000 in legal expenses and sanctions to the defendants. Hamad, a schoolteacher, probably had to pull that money from PCWF funds that were destined for Hamas via the UNWRA camps.
That plus growing scrutiny by the FBI of PCWF fundraising may have made Hamad a liability for Hamas fundraising in the USA (40% of Hamas fundraising is estimated to be coming from the US and UK illegally).

ADAM SHAPIRO IN ISRAEL UNDER FALSE IDENTITY
Adam Shapiro, key founder of the ISM is now in Israel under assumed name working to assist terrorist groups. Shapiro, banned from Israel for at least five years, somehow managed to elude the border control, now in the country illegally.
For more information visit www.StoptheISM.com
Shapiro claims he is nonviolent but supports armed resistance against Israel. He has also said he no longer considers himself a Jew, but claims he is one when attacking Israel's existence.
----------------------------------------
Barbara Lubin of Middle East Childrens Alliance, the main money launderer for the ISM in the US, through the A.J. Muste Foundation is also in the Judea and Samaria right now working and plotting with her associates in the Dheshieh Camp. Her associate, Dr. Mona al-Farrah, has said all her patients are terrorists in refusing to sign a US State Department agreement not to use USAID funds to aid terrorists.
These are bad people running around in Israel and they probably changed their names to get in.

WRITE THE IRS CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS UNIT ABOUT PAUL LARUDEE'S ISM SUPPORT GROUP HAVING TAX-EXEMPT STATUS TO RAISE MONEY TO AID HAMAS
For those of you who heard the John Loftus show and the Jim Kirkwood Show on K-TALK.com tonight (June 3rd), please write the IRS Criminal Investigations Unit at the address below and demand they investigate why Paul LaRudee and his ISM Support Group in Northern California were given non-profit tax exemption to raise money that is going to finance a flotilla to help the Hamas by trying to run the IDF Navy blockade of Gaza to help smuggle weapons in for Hamas. LaRudee was deported from Israel for Hamas conenctions and has openly worked to aid Hizballah, all known Foreign Terrorist Organizations. No doubt he lied on his application and he is also violating anti-terror laws in the US by training individuals to go abroad and aid terrorist groups.

AL AWDA PETITION GATHERED ONLY 550 SIGNATURES
How sad that only 550 people signed the petition for Hilton Hotels not to host a Jewish hate fest. Al Awda not only is anti-Semitic, but also praises the killing of our US soldiers in Iraq. Spinelss..spinless..spineless. On a good note, apparently Al Awda's event was not exactly the big to do they intended. Ah, well, theres always next year. Nevertheless,w e are confident that Hilton will think twice before having them back. Anti-Semitic hotelo director Dominic Acolino should be ashamed of himself.

HILTON AL AWDA PETITION GATHERS 250 SIGNATURES FIRST DAY
The petition created to boycott Hilton Hotels unless they cancel the 6th International Al Awda Conference at Hilton's Embassy Suites Hotel in Garden Grove got off to a smashing start with 250 signatories, many of whom were owners of Hilton Rewards cards. Also learned today, the American Nazi Party website Stormfront has links to Al Awda's website endorsing the Arab organizaton's boycott of Jews and Jewish businesses in the United States, the same Al Awda list and tells readers where to go on teh Al Awda website to support such attacks on Jews in America. Hilton management is aware of all this and still persists in going forward with the Al Awda Jew hate fest. If you haven't signed the petition yet, please do so, and visit the home page of www.StoptheISM.com for more information. The link to the petition is in the article below that also cointains more information.

HOW OBAMA'S CHURCH AND PASTOR LINK TO THE ISM
How Obama’s church and associates link him to the ISM
By Lee Kaplan
Some media pundits have tried suggesting that Barack Obama’s recent speech about his association with Reverend Jeremiah Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago is comparable to the Gettysburg Address in calling for national “unity.”
But if one parses some key statements by Obama in that speech, one can see how Obama poses more of a threat of creating disunity in America and how he will probably use racism as a vehicle do so.
Some liberal Jewish groups have begun an email campaign trying to persuade American Jews concerned by Jeremiah Wright’s comparison of the black American experience with that of the Palestinians in the Middle East as not being compatible with Barack Obama’s views. Led by Democratic Florida Congressman Robert Wexler (D) Florida, Obama’s Jewish supporters have claimed that after meeting with members of AIPAC, the Israel Lobby, Obama stated that the Palestinians must renounce the right of return, the Catch 22 used by the PLO and its front group, the International Solidarity Movement, that prevents a ny other solution to the Middle East conflict other than the dismantling of Israel as a Jewish state. In addition, the email claims, Obama stated that the missiles fired on Sderot are unacceptable and that Israel should have a right to defend itself. But that same email also contains the tired (and untrue) old leftist platitudes that so many Israelis would not have been murdered by Arab terrorists since Oslo were it not for the Likud Party in Israel that has refused to give away unconditionally Israel’s security in exchange for empty promises from the terrorist warlords in Fatah and Hamas. Both terrorist groups agree in Arabic the only acceptable real end game is the dismantling of the Jewish state, something that is always glossed over by lefties when someone euphemistically talks about “peace.” “Peace” to the Arabs is newspeak for Israel becoming Palestine.
Obama’s statements, were, for the untrained ears of pampered Jewish leftists in the Democratic Party what might be classified as being “so far so good.”
However, without losing a beat, an article has appeared on the ISM affiliated website Electronic Intifada (EI) by one of its co-founders, Ali Abunimah, in which Abumimah recounts his close past working relationship with Obama prior to the presidential campaign and how Abunimah believes Obama is merely giving lip service to the Jewish community to get elected, and that once in office he will work for the Palestinian cause. Abunimah lists himself and is mentioned in subsequent Obama articles in the mainstream press merely as a “Palestinian activist.” Abunimah insists that Obama will “come around” once elected.< /SPAN>
But Ali Abunimah is more than just some “Palestinian activist” based in Chicago, the same location as Reverend Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ. He is, in fact, one of the founders of the fiercely anti-Semitic ISM Arab group Al Awda, the Palestine Right of Return Coalition. Abunimah is a high level international leader of the ISM for the Arabs who travels extensively between Chicago, Europe and Ramallah.
Al Awda in Arabic means “The Return,” and the group not only calls for the complete destruction of Israel, even denying Israel’s current existence on its website and urging boycotts against not only Israelis, but American Jews and their businesses, but also calls for specifically supporting Arab terrorists in Iraq who kill US soldiers. Among its more than 130 chapters across the US and Canada, Al Awda’s New Jersey chapter is led by a young woman named Charlotte Kates who has called Israeli children killed by suicide bombers “fair game.” The ISM’s Al Awda openly supports terrorism as “legitimate resistance” in ISM revolutionary lingo.
Al Awda’s anti-Semitism has also linked to neo-Nazi groups in promoting the boycott and divestment from Israel on American campuses and in the US business community. It became so virulent that the group was booted by the UC Riverside campus administration from holding an international conference on that campus last year. Ali Abunimah, even today, is featured on the Al Awda website supporting terrorism against Israelis because he considers that “nonviolence is overrated.”
In short, Obama saw no problem being lobbied in the past by someone who openly promotes terrorism and discrimination against Jewish-Americans.
Al Awda is commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe of the creation of Israel) this coming May thanks to the willingness of the management of Hilton Hotels to overlook anti-Semitism in its facilities to make a buck. A new petition is in the works to get Hilton to stop this. Al Awda’s scheduled guest of honor will be a PFLP terrorist member named Khalida Jarrar , and their website recently gave an homage to the late PFLP founder George Habash. Al Awda wants convicted Islamic Jihad financier/terr orist Sami al Arian released, a murderer of over 100 people abroad, some of them Americans, from terrorist attacks.
If Barack Obama didn’t know about Abunimah’s writings (and Abunimah says he did), the same as his claims of being unaware of Reverend Wright’s remarks after 20 years, then Obama is not competent to be our President. Abunimah likes to lie and claim Al Awda has nothing to do with the ISM or Electronic Intifada, though plenty of evidence exists on the website the homepage at www.StoptheISM.com showing the contrary.
But Obama’s association with the ISM through his church and lobbying in Chicago goes even deeper than just his past links to Al Awda and Ali Abunimah. His pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and the Trinity Union Church of Christ in Chicago, are both equally involved with the ISM.
Since 2001, the ISM has been tasked by the PLO and other Arab irredentist groups with getting new generations of American college kids to consider democratic Israel as somehow a violator of human rights, all the while as the Palestinian Arabs who practice open anti-Semitism, honor killings, and the murders of their own people as well as Jews, as commendable practices. At their 2003 national organizing conference at Ohio State, ISM activists set out to deconstruct American narratives about Israel as a democratic state with firm support from secular radical Americans of Jewish ancestry. In one workshop set up to discuss ways to put a good face on suicide bombings, ISM activists spoke of new ways of reinterpreting the Bible so Israel did not belong to the Jews, but to the Palest inians.
In working with the Saudi funded Muslim Students Association in campuses across the US, the ISM has managed to cloud the image among American youth through disinformation and propaganda campaigns against Jews and Israel in order to try and make American students believe Israel is an apartheid state like South Africa was in the 1980’s. At the same time, these same Palestinian groups like Al Awda insist the West Bank and Gaza must be Jew-free. Since this campaign has been largely successful in organizing anti-Israel attitudes on campuses all over America, and since Jewish organizations in America have been slow to react, the ISM moved on to another program to do the same thing only this time alienating US churches, particularly evangelical churches that have a long-term sense of Biblical support for the Jewish state. Thus was born the Sabeel Ecum enical Liberation Theological Society created as part of the ISM to do in US churches what various ISM groups succeeded to do in American colleges.
At the same time, a foothold already existed to a small degree in the American black religious community such as is led by Louis Farrakhan.
The mainstream ISM leadership is made up of Palestinian Christian Arabs who are also communists/anarchists and pan-Arab nationalists first, that hold to the philosophy of the Popular Front for The Liberation of Palestine, the second largest faction of the PLO. Using communist revolutionary practices of “solidarity,” it has been these Palestinian Arab Christian “revolutionaries,” aligned with Jewish- American communists and anarchists, that have been working so well on the campuses in the US and the UK.
Now, it has become the ISM’s time to deconstruct religious dogma of Israel belonging to the Jews as is preached in US churches and to increase the number black churches in America that are working in “solidarity” with this program. Jeremiah Wright’s church is one of them. Even though the national synod of the United Church for Christ rescinded a boycott and divestment plan against Israel, a wing of the UCC church keeps trying to get it reinstated. That wing includes Reverend Wright’s Trinity UCC Church in Chicago. Few people know also, that there are many Muslim members of Reverend Wright’s “Christian” church, a close ally of Sabeel.
Led by a Palestinian Christian pastor named Naim Ateek, Sabeel’s purpose is as part of the ISM to especially convince churches in America that the diminishing Christian population in the West Bank, particularly Bethlehem, is not due to persecution by the Muslim majority in the Palestinian Authority against Christians caused Christian flight, but because of Israel’s Jews and “the occupation.” In order to achieve this, Sabeel practices something called “replacement theology “ which aligns itself closely with the ideas of its Muslim fundamentalist allies.
Replacement theology advanced by the ISM and Sabeel holds that Jesus was not a Jew, but a Palestinian. It also holds that the fulfillment of scripture is not Jews returning to the land of Israel, but Palestinian Arabs taking control of Israel from Jewish oppressors to become Palestine. In replacement theology, Abraham’s son, Isaac, was not to be sacrificed before God, but it was rather Ishmael, the father of the Arab people. This is also the Muslim interpretation of the Torah in the Koran. Yasser Arafat always claimed that Jesus was a Palestinian, not a Jew. Arafat, though a secular Muslim, also saw the value of his allies in the PFLP in recruiting pan-Arab revolutionaries and Arab communists to achieve his goals.
Why should a Christian Arab pastor like Naim Ateek teach such things? He does so because his religious teachings are based more on politics than anything else, and it gives him a power base and funding as a religious leader he could only dream of among the Christian Arab minority population.
Sabeel has been actively working in cooperation with Chicago’s Trinity UCC among certain other politically active churches in America to promote anti-Israel and even anti-Semitic beliefs that can erode American Christian support for Israel and hasten Israel’s destruction. And Pastor Jeremiah Wright, pandering to his majority black congregation, has been teaching his own replacement theology, only this time its called “black replacement theology.” Jesus was not a Jew, says Wright, but a “black man.” Trinity UCC’s relationship with the anti-Semitic Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam (funded by anti-Israel Libya) fits in nicely with this formula also. The Christian religious icon is no longer a Jew, but a black man and to accept this interpretation is the way to salvation for the black man. This not only deconstructs
American church views of the legitimacy of Israel, but has a nice foothold with the likes of the Nation of Islam in the US black community.
In his speech, Obama actually tried to give some credibility to Wright’s speech claiming it portrays the real experience for black Americans without saying what specific parts of Wright’s diatribes he was referring to. By accusing the US of bombing innocent people of color at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, of America infecting black American with AIDS, or of “chickens coming home to roost” for 9/11 (ignoring that plenty of black Americans died in those attacks), were more than just blanket “issues” that Obama called them and said he does not agree with “totally.”
But does this all really link back to Obama? Can’t he still get by, saying that his pastor Wright and church of 20 years, and Ali Abunimah also do not bespeak his personal opinions?
To the contrary, in his speech about Wright, Obama said he does believe such things when he said he cannot disavow them from Reverend Wright or disassociate himself from the demagogical pastor any more than from the black community. He just did it in veiled language. He just spoke about his close family-like relationship with Wright and then suggested Wright speaks to the black experience in America.
Here is the most important parsed line from Obama’s speech (and it’s no Gettysburg Address):
“The man I met more than twenty years ago is a man who helped introduce me to my Christian faith, a man who spoke to me about our obligations to love one another; to care for the sick and lift up the poor.”
So the man who “introduced” Barack Obama to his “Christian faith” also teaches that Jesus was not a Jew, and that the white Jews exploited the “black Palestinians” in the Bible, and who espouses ISM and Sabeel religious terminology among his fellow Christians, particularly blacks, even against the wishes of his own synod.
Jeremiah Wright certainly knows his market.
That is the Christianity of Jeremiah Wright and based on Obama’s speech, the same Christianity that Wright introduced Obama to, and one the presidential candidate still believes and won’t disavow no matter what it costs him.
True, Obama mentioned how Wright taught him to be kind unto others. But according to Wright’s interpretation, that “kindness” has more to do with fighting “white oppression” than urging nonviolence and brotherly love among all races. Wright’s church even praised Hamas in the past, and has always touted it as an Islamic charity organization showing such social kindness despite its charter calling for unyielding murder and expulsion of Jews in the Middle East.
The ISM’s training manual says that international ISM volunteers in the West Bank should not tell people they are human shields for terrorist groups but “peace activists” because it deceives people from their real purpose of attacking Israel any way they can to the benefit of their Palestinian handlers. So, too, does Barack Obama talk about loving one another as taught to him by a pastor who then accuses America of murdering innocent people of color at Hiroshima and Nagasaki over 50 years ago. The American servicemen whose lives were spared back then by ending the war quickly were also black men, Latinos and others who were fighting Japanese racists who murdered Chinese, Filipinos a nd other “inferior” people on a regular basis, who ran experimental death camps for American and British prisoners-of-war, and who were allied with a Nazi Germany that was allied with the same Arab nationalist leadership that is still trying to destroy the Jews today.
“I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community,” said Obama. So then it is clear that Obama believes that Wright’s ideas represent the black community and black experience in America when they represent only the radicalized fringe of black America that wants to aid America’s enemies abroad. It is doubtful many black Americans who served proudly in the US military feel the same as Wright on this issue.
What is more, militant Islamists see a potential to sow internal problems and promote their fascist goals in the US by trying to divide the American black community against the US government. Whereas blacks have been exploited in the past, this is now seen as a way to achieve the goals of expanding the Muslim ummah inside the US from in the Middle East. That is why Libya gives money to Farrakhan and why the ISM and Sabeel work with Reverend Wright whose personal interpretations of Christianity are entrenched in Obama’s mind as the True Word of Christianity. Wri ght actually visited Mohammar Ghaddafi in Libya with Farrakhan in the past.
I attended an AIPAC (Israel lobby) conference two years ago where another black candidate for congress, Barbara Lee (D) Oakland, was in attendance as the representative for Oakland/Berkeley. Ms. Lee sat very respectfully as she was fawned over by a crowd of Jewish Israel supporters and acted as if she was really concerned about Israel. Ms. Lee even smiled at me personally as she left. Meanwhile, she was the only member of Congress who voted against going after Bin Laden after 9/11 in Afghanistan and also supports groups like Hamas, Hizballah and Al Awda in their anti-Semitic goals. Congressman Wexler needs to understand that what Obama says to a meeting of Jews will not translate into what he does o nce he is in office. In that regard, Ali Abunimah of Al Awda is probably right about Obama going to work for the Palestinians once in office Obama’s staffers certainly suggest the same.
The question is if we want a man in the White House who will regularly give his ear to the likes of a Reverend Wright, his and Sabeel’s replacement theologies, and pro-terrorist propagandists like Ali Abunimah on a regular basis? In one sense, Obama could be considered the ISM’s Manchurian candidate.

This is also the Muslim interpretation of the Torah in the Koran. Yasser Arafat always claimed that Jesus was a Palestinian, not a Jew. Arafat, though a secular Muslim, also saw the value of his allies in the PFLP in recruiting pan-Arab revolutionaries and Arab communists to achieve his goals.
Why should a Christian Arab pastor like Naim Ateek teach such things? He does so because his religious teachings are based more on politics than anything else, and it gives him a power base and funding as a religious leader he could only dream of among the Christian Arab minority population.
Sabeel has been actively working in cooperation with Chicago’s Trinity UCC among certain other politically active churches in America to promote anti-Israel and even anti-Semitic beliefs that can erode American Christian support for Israel and hasten Israel’s destruction. And Pastor Jeremiah Wright, pandering to his majority black congregation, has been teaching his own replacement theology, only this time its called “black replacement theology.” Jesus was not a Jew, says Wright, but a “black man.” Trinity UCC’s relationship with the anti-Semitic Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam (funded by anti-Israel Libya) fits in nicely with this formula also. The Christian religious icon is no longer a Jew, but a black man and to accept this interpretation is the way to salvation for the black man. This not only deconstructs
American church views of the legitimacy of Israel, but has a nice foothold with the likes of the Nation of Islam in the US black community.
In his speech, Obama actually tried to give some credibility to Wright’s speech claiming it portrays the real experience for black Americans without saying what specific parts of Wright’s diatribes he was referring to. By accusing the US of bombing innocent people of color at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, of America infecting black American with AIDS, or of “chickens coming home to roost” for 9/11 (ignoring that plenty of black Americans died in those attacks), were more than just blanket “issues” that Obama called them and said he does not agree with “totally.”
But does this all really link back to Obama? Can’t he still get by, saying that his pastor Wright and church of 20 years, and Ali Abunimah also do not bespeak his personal opinions?
To the contrary, in his speech about Wright, Obama said he does believe such things when he said he cannot disavow them from Reverend Wright or disassociate himself from the demagogical pastor any more than from the black community. He just did it in veiled language. He just spoke about his close family-like relationship with Wright and then suggested Wright speaks to the black experience in America.
Here is the most important parsed line from Obama’s speech (and it’s no Gettysburg Address):
“The man I met more than twenty years ago is a man who helped introduce me to my Christian faith, a man who spoke to me about our obligations to love one another; to care for the sick and lift up the poor.”
So the man who “introduced” Barack Obama to his “Christian faith” also teaches that Jesus was not a Jew, and that the white Jews exploited the “black Palestinians” in the Bible, and who espouses ISM and Sabeel religious terminology among his fellow Christians, particularly blacks, even against the wishes of his own synod.
Jeremiah Wright certainly knows his market.
That is the Christianity of Jeremiah Wright and based on Obama’s speech, the same Christianity that Wright introduced Obama to, and one the presidential candidate still believes and won’t disavow no matter what it costs him.
True, Obama mentioned how Wright taught him to be kind unto others. But according to Wright’s interpretation, that “kindness” has more to do with fighting “white oppression” than urging nonviolence and brotherly love among all races. Wright’s church even praised Hamas in the past, and has always touted it as an Islamic charity organization showing such social kindness despite its charter calling for unyielding murder and expulsion of Jews in the Middle East.
The ISM’s training manual says that international ISM volunteers in the West Bank should not tell people they are human shields for terrorist groups but “peace activists” because it deceives people from their real purpose of attacking Israel any way they can to the benefit of their Palestinian handlers. So, too, does Barack Obama talk about loving one another as taught to him by a pastor who then accuses America of murdering innocent people of color at Hiroshima and Nagasaki over 50 years ago. The American servicemen whose lives were spared back then by ending the war quickly were also black men, Latinos and others who were fighting Japanese racists who murdered Chinese, Filipinos a nd other “inferior” people on a regular basis, who ran experimental death camps for American and British prisoners-of-war, and who were allied with a Nazi Germany that was allied with the same Arab nationalist leadership that is still trying to destroy the Jews today.
“I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community,” said Obama. So then it is clear that Obama believes that Wright’s ideas represent the black community and black experience in America when they represent only the radicalized fringe of black America that wants to aid America’s enemies abroad. It is doubtful many black Americans who served proudly in the US military feel the same as Wright on this issue.
What is more, militant Islamists see a potential to sow internal problems and promote their fascist goals in the US by trying to divide the American black community against the US government. Whereas blacks have been exploited in the past, this is now seen as a way to achieve the goals of expanding the Muslim ummah inside the US from in the Middle East. That is why Libya gives money to Farrakhan and why the ISM and Sabeel work with Reverend Wright whose personal interpretations of Christianity are entrenched in Obama’s mind as the True Word of Christianity. Wri ght actually visited Mohammar Ghaddafi in Libya with Farrakhan in the past.
I attended an AIPAC (Israel lobby) conference two years ago where another black candidate for congress, Barbara Lee (D) Oakland, was in attendance as the representative for Oakland/Berkeley. Ms. Lee sat very respectfully as she was fawned over by a crowd of Jewish Israel supporters and acted as if she was really concerned about Israel. Ms. Lee even smiled at me personally as she left. Meanwhile, she was the only member of Congress who voted against going after Bin Laden after 9/11 in Afghanistan and also supports groups like Hamas, Hizballah and Al Awda in their anti-Semitic goals. Congressman Wexler needs to understand that what Obama says to a meeting of Jews will not translate into what he does o nce he is in office. In that regard, Ali Abunimah of Al Awda is probably right about Obama going to work for the Palestinians once in office Obama’s staffers certainly suggest the same.
The question is if we want a man in the White House who will regularly give his ear to the likes of a Reverend Wright, his and Sabeel’s replacement theologies, and pro-terrorist propagandists like Ali Abunimah on a regular basis? In one sense, Obama could be considered the ISM’s Manchurian candidate.

HILTON SIDES WITH TERRORISTS--AGAIN
Last year I got Al Awda's international conference kicked off the UC Riverside campus by revealing the blatant anti-Semitism and links to neo-Nazis by the Arab irredentist group. Al Awda went to Embassy Suites in Garden Grove instead. Now they are planning to stage the same event again at the same location with open arms by Embassy Suites manager Dominic Acolino. Al Awda is already mentioning they have invited a PFLP terrorist and others involved with Hamas. Stay tuned for a boycott petition against Hilton coming up.
UC BERKELEY BECOMES SAUDI U
Why am I not surprised?
A committee of CAL's academic senate has approved UC Berkeley opening a satellite branch of the University in Saudi Arabia. On the same campus that disallows the student store to sell certain clothing or Nike products because they are allegedly produced in sweat shops overseas, sees no problem in giving its name to the medieval feudal kingdom of Saudi Arabia that still practives slavery, misogyny, child abuse, religious intolerance and other human rights violations (not to mention not allowing Jews inside the country).Currently, I'm trying to find out who was on the academic committee because I'll bet it is made up of Arab professors from UC Berkeley's Center for Middle East Studies (also funded by the Saudis).
More on this later, but check out our petition at www.DAFKA.org that requires unviersities in the US to divest from and not accept any money from the Evil Kingdom.

I CAN BE HEARD ON THE LAURIE ROTH SHOW AT THE NORTHEAST INTELLIGENCE NETWORK WEBSITE
I just completed a two hour interview on the Laurie Roth Show and urge you to tune in. You can listen on he Web by going to www.homelandsecurityus.com and clicking the icon to her show on the left side of the homepage. While you're at it, check out the Club Cruz video that tells the truth about Rachel Corrie that is also featured on the NEIN website.
News is coming out that both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have dispatched foreign affairs advisors to meet with Bashir Assad in Syria. This will have troubling repercussions for Israel as it displays once again the Iraq Study Group's advice to open "diplomatic channels" with Syria and Iran. Given the current field of candidates in both parties, the next presidential election should be a real "hold your nose and vote for who stinks less" proposition. McCain might not be too bad, but his position on health care suggests nothing that will help the average American.
Obama has campaign people with Che Guevara on the wall, and I still can't forgive Hillary for inviting fake rabbi Michael Lerner to the White House and kissing Arafat on the lips. Sigh...what's a voter to do? Look out Israel, they're gonna put you on teh chopping block regardless of who gets in.
At UC Berkeley today they are featuring the Israeli-Palestinian Confederation in a
"debate" about how to make peace in the region. I attended their conference at UCLA a while back and the whole thing is a scam, not a debate, since its speakers are all endorsers of personal injury attorney Josef Avesar's scheme to create a legislature outside of the Israeli and PA governments that's going to elect representatives divided into districts that will serve both Jews and Arabs alike. Avesar never discusses terrorism in his scheme,or the fact the Arab and Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem are intertwined. I wrote about this organization that I think is a scam to get money from Saudi donors as the organizers are asking for $6.5 million to implement a peace plan that cannot work. The sessions usually disintegrate also into the usual "end the occupation" rhetoric by the Arabs and the entire scheme is to dismantle Israel as a Jewish homeland over time. You can read more about the IP Confederation here: www.bruinalumni.com/articles/ipc.html. Of note,one of the guest speakers is fake Rabbi Michael Lerner (who was ordained by a Buddhist Rabbi in Colorado (yeah, right). What fascinated me last time was one of the board members of the IP Confederation was campaign manager for the Greens Party presidential candidate who advocates for the complete dismantling of Israel to create an Arab dominated state called Palestine in its place. Things are not what they seem, folks.
Kudos to SF Voice for Israel for showing up every weekend across the street from the ISM affilaite Women in Black in downtown Oakland. If you ever want to see some dried up sixites commies from Berkeley, you can see the freak show every Saturday. The SF Voice crowd has US and Israeli flags and the WOBs wouldn't be caught dead with a US flag. Well, at least somebodys getting some sun on a Saturday.
Have a great weekend!

A WONDERFUL CHANGE FOR THE BETTER AT UC BERKELEY
This week UC Berkeley's terrorist supporters on campus are conducting "Israeli Apartheid Week" demonstrations. I was on hand with some community supporters of Israel to witness something amazing:
Nearly one hundred Jewish and non-Jewish students turned out to support Israel as the Israel haters gave their traditional rants against Israel. Sproul Plaza was filled with Jewish students who sang Israeli songs and called for peace who bathed the area in a sea of Israeli flags.
"They (the Israelis) cut off more electricity in Gaza today," wailed from a microphone to her fellow acolytes from the Students for Jsutice in Palestine and assorted Marxist waanbe groups on campus. "Can you imagine not having any electricity," she wailed. Of course, the fact that 2,000 missiles have been fired into schools, day care centers and elsewhere in Sderot were not mentioned. As students walked by on campus, nobody was buying the spiel from the anti-Israel speakers who also declared their undying support for the Iraqis who kill US soldiers.
Resident Berkeley witch Barabara Lubin also spoke in support of America's enemies and in favor of those warm loving Arabs in the PA who handed out candy and flowers after a woman was murdered in Dimona just days ago.
The new Hillel director did not want the Jewish students to counterdemonstrate at all, as usual. But the students had had enough of a campus where anti-Semitism masked as intellectual discussion has become commonplace. Of the students who were just passersby, their receptions of the Jewish students' flyers and materials were clearly better received. Most ignored the anti-Israel activists on Sproul Hall steps and their rants against America and Israel.
But what carried the day was there were actually a number of students, Jews mostly, who for once stood up proudly for Israel and their presence completely muted the attempt to rule the campus today. Maybe there is some hope for Jewish youth in this country on US campuses after all.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW THE US CAMPAIGN TO END THE ISRAELI OCCUPATION LIES TO THE PUBLIC
Last year, Josh Ruebner, a quisling of Jewish ancestry who fronts for the ISM with the US Campaign to End the Israseli Occupation attempted to intimidate one of my publishers by sending him a "cease and desist letter." Among the lies in the letter were that the USCEIO has no affilaition with the ISM and that they are only interested in ending the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, not taking all of Israel for the Arabs. That letter is still posted on the INternet even though it has been proven that everything I wrote about the campaign was absolutely true on their own website. Now the "campaign" is advertising the following on their
homepage at www.endtheoccupation.org/:
"The year 2008 marks the 60th anniversary of the Nakba ("the catastrophe"): the expulsion and dispossession of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes and land in 1948.
The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation is soliciting entries for a commemoration of the Nakba through personal expressions in the form of visual arts, essays, poetry, music, video, and digital media.
Learn more about the competition and how you can participate."
1948 was, of course, when the United Nations created Israel and established it as a state on land that was legally purhased by Jews and mandated by the British government. Ruebner and his pals claimed in their letter the camapign only applies to the "occupation" of the West Bank and Gaza, retaken by Israel in 1967, and that they are not against the existence of a Jewish state, or anti-Israel in any way.
So why is the campaign soliciting donations and art exhibits to commemorate "the catastrophe" on the founding of Israel in 1948? The fact is, the campaign's goals are to destroy Israel.
This same tactic of lying and misrepresentation is a classic ISM revolutionary dogma. Sadly, the Arabs take some disgusting people of Jewish descent who couldn't give a fig about being Jewish or the Jewish people, but consider themselves Marxists and revolutionaries instead, and uses them as stooges to suggest Jews are opposed to a Jewish state. Ruebner and his co-signatories to the letter are, of course, whores to the Arabs the same as Jewish kapos who worked in cooperation with the Nazis in the death camps.
If you are Jewish or a peace activist, understand that these whores who work to support terrorist anti-Semitic groups like the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation try and convince people the opposite of what they are doing as subversives and anti-Semites, and are little more than human garbage, not "human rights workers" (that term also is an obfuscation).

SETTING THE RACHEL CORRIE STORY STRAIGHT ON YOUTUBE
If you go to the links below you can view part of the television show I hosted in 2005 about Rachel Corrie and the false accusations she was murdered by the IDF. Photos were doctored by Joseph Smith aka Joseph Carr of the ISM and Christian Peacemaker Teams to add to the lie. Reuters used those photos, then retracted them. We'll have further proof the photos were doctored in upcoming videos.
We will be showing on You Tube several of the Club Cruz Shows where we debunk the lies of ISM activists, many times right in front of them on the show. Keep an eye out for them. Meanwhile, for the truth about Rachel Corrie, visit the links below:

I'LL BE ON THE GATHERING STORM RADIO SHOW, FRIDAY, JAN 10TH
On the Internet tune into http://www.blogtalkradio.com/the-gathering-storm and listen to my interview at 12:30 pm west coast time. I'll be discussing Rachel Ehrenfeld's lawsuit problems with Saudi billionaire bin Mahfouz who has been judge shopping in the UK to silence Ehrenfeld's book showing the Saudi family member's involvement in funding terrorism. I will also be discussing Lionheart in the UK, currently under threat of arrest and facing 7 years in jail for "hate crimes"for speaking his mind about militant Islamists in the UK. It should be an interesting and informative show. Has Britian succumbed completely to the worldwide jihad?
George Bush, chief ass-kisser of the Saudi royal family and the UAE has been in Israel this week where he is sending messages that nobody, least of all American Jews, want to take seriously. First, his Secretary fo State, Condi Rice equates Machmoud Abbas with Martin Luther King and she compares the checkpoints to prejudice sustained in the Jim Crow south. I warned American Jews not to vote for Bush back in 2001, that he would ultimately screw Israel and now its all coming true. Bush has been insisting that "Palestine" also be a contiguous state. Everyone thinks he means all of the West Bank, but watch how later he will insist the southern half of Israel be ceded to Palestine along with East Jerusalem. He has one year to fulfill the Saudi dream then reap the rewards of lucrative consultancy contracts from the oil stinky Saudis for the rest of his life. Every day I get emails from Jewish Republicans praising George W. Bush. Well, to be sure Obama and Hillary won't be any better, but in my book if you have someone in power who stinks, you replace him and take your chances. Watch as GWB creates the next Iran in the Middle East.
By the way, if anyone saw Charlie Wilson's War, take note of those scenes of the missiles given to the mujahedeen to "level" the playing field against the Russian attack helicopters and thus win the war. The Bush administration is supplying armored vehicles with anti-aircraft machine guns to Abbas's "police" (read Al Aksa
Martys Brigade terrorists) that will ultimately be used to shoot down Israeli Apaches
to "level" the battlefield for the Arabs. Right now the Apaches target the terrorist leaders, giving Israel a military advantage. This administration in Washington regards Israel as a banana republic that needs to be brought down a peg to fulfill state department goals (and once again get those Saudi consultancy arrangements on retirement). Believe it or not, folks, the Bush admiinstration is at war with Israel
by other means. This also may account for the State Department's protection of the ISM. Huwaida Arraf and Adam Shapiro both worked for the US State Department before the ISM was created and neither Israel nor the US seems inclined to stop the viscious
terrorist support group from its activities on US campuses and in the West Bank.
Time will tell.
The PBS documentary about the history fo Jews in America for unknown reasons has made Tony Kushner a speaker and representative of American Jewry. Kushner is a curious choice as he is anti-Israel and on the Board of Directors of the Arab front group Jewish Voice for Peace. Kushner has claimed Israel was founded in "sin" and actively works for divestment and boycotts against Israel. What sicko chose him to represent Jews in America? Was this in part so he can later claim American Jews do not support a Jewish state? Amy Guttman, the chief bureaucrat at U Penn also was featured. Ms. Guttman caught flack when she was photographed at a university soiree for Halloween with an asshole dressed up as a suicide bomber. Ms. Guttman can be seen laughing and smiling. Maybe thats part of the problem; American Jews who don't really know more about Judaism than ordering a sandwich in a deli and spouting a few Jewish words. Why are Jews in America so stupid? By the way, Kushner's Jewish Voice for Peace is frequently on the WMREA.org website rubbing elbows with organizations like al Awda and even David Duke that want to see Jews dead. WMREA is funded deceptively by Saudi Arabia to look like an impartial website and magazine, but is part of the worldwide jihad against Israel and America.

This administration in Washington regards Israel as a banana republic that needs to be brought down a peg to fulfill state department goals (and once again get those Saudi consultancy arrangements on retirement). Believe it or not, folks, the Bush admiinstration is at war with Israel
by other means. This also may account for the State Department's protection of the ISM. Huwaida Arraf and Adam Shapiro both worked for the US State Department before the ISM was created and neither Israel nor the US seems inclined to stop the viscious
terrorist support group from its activities on US campuses and in the West Bank.
Time will tell.
The PBS documentary about the history fo Jews in America for unknown reasons has made Tony Kushner a speaker and representative of American Jewry. Kushner is a curious choice as he is anti-Israel and on the Board of Directors of the Arab front group Jewish Voice for Peace. Kushner has claimed Israel was founded in "sin" and actively works for divestment and boycotts against Israel. What sicko chose him to represent Jews in America? Was this in part so he can later claim American Jews do not support a Jewish state? Amy Guttman, the chief bureaucrat at U Penn also was featured. Ms. Guttman caught flack when she was photographed at a university soiree for Halloween with an asshole dressed up as a suicide bomber. Ms. Guttman can be seen laughing and smiling. Maybe thats part of the problem; American Jews who don't really know more about Judaism than ordering a sandwich in a deli and spouting a few Jewish words. Why are Jews in America so stupid? By the way, Kushner's Jewish Voice for Peace is frequently on the WMREA.org website rubbing elbows with organizations like al Awda and even David Duke that want to see Jews dead. WMREA is funded deceptively by Saudi Arabia to look like an impartial website and magazine, but is part of the worldwide jihad against Israel and America.
