Jewish Neocons Gear Up for Midterm Elections…Let the Good Smears Roll by Richard Silverstein (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/13/2010 1:39:52 AM
It’s not just Israel that refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. American Jewish neocons have been proliferating so many hysterically-Islamophobic campaign outfits in the run-up to the midterm elections, you can’t tell the players without a scorecard. There is of course the granddaddy/ zaideh of smearmesiters, the Republican Jewish Coalition. In the 2008 election, the RJC and Aish HaTorah mated (in spirit if not in body) and produced the Clarion Fund, which flacked for John McCain. Lately it is touting its new hate-Iran film, the third in an antiMuslim trilogy. We can expect it to continue the same type of dirty tricks it exploited in the last election, where it spent upwards of $20-million distributing another of its Muslimhate films to 28-million voters in swing states. Eli Clifton and I have written about some other anti-Muslim campaign front groups which have proliferated like weeds after a Negev spring flood: Keep Israel Safe was founded by Gary Bauer and Tom Rose, who deserves credit as the Jerusalem Post editor who first moved it to the hardright political stance it adopted after decades of centrist mediocrity; and Stop Iran Now, an ideologically wholly-owned subsidiary of Citizens United (yes THAT Citizen’s United, whom the Supreme Court offered a green light to spend countless millions smearing Democratic candidates). The chief champion of all these groups is William Kristol and his Weekly Standard, election central for the Likudist neocon movement. Now we have yet another mushroom sprouting after a spring rain: the Emergency Committee for Israel. The parentage of this cuddly little package is also interesting. Eli Clifton notes that the group was first
promoted during a Campbell Brown CNN interview with Noah Pollak, the group’s executive director. Brown is married to Dan Senor, a senior Bush apparatchik and likely major player in 2012 Republican election campaigns. Pollak is a former assistant editor of the Shalem Center’s publication, Azure. The Center is heavily funded by Las Vegas gambling tycoon, Shelly Adelson, Bibi Netanyahu’s moneyman and funder of the new Israeli daily, Yisrael HaYom (also known unflatteringly as Bibi-ton). Pollak also contributes regularly to Commentary Magazine, the true zaideh of the Jewish neocon movement. The Committee’s domain, emergencycommitteeforisrael.com, is registered to Margaret Hoover, like Senor, a former high-level Bush operative. She also participated in Rudy Giuliani’s failed presidential campaign. Curiously, after Clifton outed Hoover’s role, they registered with Domains by Proxy so her identity is now safely concealed. The alternate domain used by the group, committeeforisrael.com, is registered to Pollak. I’m curious why they are attempting to conceal their affiliations with seasoned hard-right Republican campaign operatives like Hoover since everyone and their brother knows who’s behind these fetid little mushroom sproutings. The new group’s board includes…you guessed it…Gary Bauer, William Kristol and Rachel Abrams. If I were Pollak I’d keep in mind what happens to mushrooms after the rains dry up: they wither and die just as these pro-Israel hate groups will do after November, and after their donors will have thrown good money after bad in funding these useless vanity campaigns which have absolutely no effect on the Jewish vote, which remains solidly Democratic. As a test, we’ll watch the Joe Sestak PA. senate race for which the Committee has produced the hysterical campaign ad featured above.
Ben Smith’s reporting on this story for Politico features this incredible quotation from Kristol in which he actually claims that Aipac’s politics are too liberal (a view shared by the way with Shelly Adelson, if you’ve read his devestating New Yorker profile): “Then there’s AIPAC, which is a wonderful organization, but one that’s very committed to working with the administration, so they pull some punches publicly.” Kristol also has the chutzpah to claim he’s modeling his effort as a conservative mirror to J Street. There is of course one major difference between the two: J Street has grassroots support, with tens of thousands of donors and over 100,000 who’ve signed up for its alerts. The Committee has a bunch of cigarchomping rich Jewish guys pursuing their political vanity project. Another curious factoid about Pollak: he’s a moderator of a Porsche car forum(and a member for at least ten years). That must be where all the lucre Pollak’s earning from Shelly Adelson and his other Jewish neocon fat cat donors is going: into his Porsche collection. He should keep this concealed from all of his Burlington, VT. neighbors. That, of course is Bernie Saunders country. I don’t imagine there are too many Porsches tooling around Burlington’s streets especially not in those harsh New England winters. I guess it won’t disturb too many of his fellow Jewish neocons that he drives a German car since so many of them are driving Mercedes, BMWs, Audis and the like. There are additional anti-Iran front groups created by the Jewish community, which seem designed to do Israel’s bidding rather than the Republican Party’s. Among them is Stand for Freedom in Iran, purportedly a grassroots community coalition which was in truth incorporated by the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York. Remember too the 2008
campaign fiasco when the President’s Conference booked Sarah Palin to keynote a UN anti-Iran rally when Ahmadinejad was scheduled to address the world body. That didn’t go over too well with the Obama campaign and most New York Jews, who detested Palin.

Shabbat Hazon, Parashat Devarim, Deuteronomy 1:1 – 3:22 by Rabbi Michal Shekel (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/13/2010 4:30:00 AM
This parasha is sponsored by Linda Halton in memory of her parents William Brayer, whose yahrzeit is Tisha B’Av, and Freda Brayer, whose yahrzeit is Av 13. Og’s downfall certainly resonated in our ancestors’ collective memory. Anyone who has visited a foreign country is aware that there are differences, large and small, in everyday objects. A European pillow is vastly different in size and shape from a North American one. Shop at everyone’s favourite, assemble-ityourself Swedish furniture store, and you will find out that all your bedding has to come from this same store if it is to fit your mattress. Sometimes there are surprises: Sending your child off to university with linens from home may be a mistake, since many dormitory rooms are furnished with extra-long twin beds. The linen stores around universities make quite a back-to-school profit selling sheets that are five inches longer than average twin size. Despite these inconveniences our biblical ancestors would have viewed even our most humble beds as items of the utmost luxury. Only kings and wealthy individuals had beds of ivory…dining couches of gold and silver…divans, and lounges. The pieces in question were probably beds ornamented with ivory or silver or gold. Ordinary individuals slept on the ground on spreads or rugs, covered with a cloak. … A bed was a rectangular wood frame with four legs, about three feet wide and six feet long, strung with cords that supported a mat or mattress.“‘ere?” by A. Angerstorfer in Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament, G. Johannes Botterweck, Helmer Ringgren, Heinz-Josef Fabry (eds.), vol. XI, pp 379-80.
Perhaps this explains the odd item that pops up in the midst of Moses’ speech in parashat Devarim. While recounting our ancestors’ travels and travails in the wilderness, admonishing their behaviour, and describing their struggles as they near the end of their forty-year trek, Moses adds this little tidbit: Only King Og of Bashan was left of the remaining Rephaim. His bedstead, an iron bedstead, is now in Rabbah of the Ammonites; it is nine cubits long and four cubits wide, by the standard cubit!( Deuteronomy 3:11) What purpose could this detail serve other than a dandy morsel of information for a biblical trivia game? Og’s bed was the ancient king-size model. In modern terms, it measures about 13.5 feet by 6 feet. Og is described as being the last of the Rephaim, a race of giants, an ascription that is enhanced by this description of his very large furniture. Rabbinic tradition makes him out to be an even larger giant than the biblical account. (Dr. Admiel Kosman, provides a wonderful summary in English and a more extensive look at texts on Og in Hebrew.) Some, like Maimonides, prefer to downplay the colourful descriptions, reminding us of the purpose of biblical hyperbole and warning us not to take them literally. ( The Guide for the Perplexed 2:47) Others prefer to muse about Og’s furniture. Rashbam assumes that the mighty king had many beds in many places. What would make this one unique? He takes it to be a description of Og’s crib, the infant Og being strong enough to destroy a wooden one. (Changing the description to Og’s childhood bed solves an exegetical problem for some interpreters according to Rabbi Martin Lockshin. Describing an adult bed in what these interpreters believe is a text written by Moses so soon after Og’s death calls into question Moses’ authorship of the text. After
all, no such description should be necessary, since everyone would know about this object. Hence, the conclusion would be that Moses did not write it. See Martin I. Lockshin, Rashbam’s Commentary on Deuteronomy: An Annotated Translation, p. 46, note 63.) S. R. Driver understood barzel(iron) to mean basalt, a stone common to the region and containing a percentage of iron, raising the possibility that the item in question is Og’s sarcophagus. More recently, Jeffrey Tigay explains that iron was a rare commodity in the Late Bronze Age; thus the detailed description of the bed emphasizes its precious ornamentation. This pretty much covers everything from cradle to grave, but it still doesn’t explain the significance of the passage. Og, or more specifically the defeat of Og, must have been an important event. Og’s downfall certainly resonated in our ancestors’ collective memory, being mentioned twice in Numbers and an additional five times in Deuteronomy, as well as in Joshua, I Kings and Nehemiah. Oh yes, Og also makes a brief appearance in the Psalms. Perhaps we can understand the significance of Og through the description of another monarch mentioned in this week’s parasha. Moses recounts how he sent messengers offering peace to Sihon to no avail: But King Sihon of Heshbon refused to let us pass through, because the Lord had stiffened his will and hardened his heart in order to deliver him into your power — as is now the case. And the Lord said to me: See, I begin by placing Sihon and his land at your disposal. Deuteronomy 2:3031 Reading this it is impossible not to think of Pharaoh, rising from his bed in the middle of the night after the tenth plague and finally succumbing to God’s will. Surprisingly, midrash states that it was more difficult to
destroy Sihon and Og than it was to overcome Pharaoh. The rabbis of the midrash admonish us for neglecting this fact. After being saved from Pharaoh, we sang a song at the Sea of Reeds; after Og, nothing. Midrash Tanhuma holds that this offense against God was not rectified until the writing of the Psalms(135:11 and 136:20). (This is something to keep in mind this Shabbat Hazon, when we read a special haftarah from Isaiah admonishing us for neglecting God.) Og saw what happened to Sihon, but that didn’t prevent him from following the same path: You make your bed and you lie in it. As for Og’s iron bed, it doesn’t matter how big it was, nor does it matter how big Og was; ultimately, he was no match for the God who needs no bed: See, the guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.

The Strength Of Arguing | about siddur by paraisrael (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/12/2010 11:20:34 PM
by Teitelbaum The Strength Of Arguing The Anshei Knesset HaGedolah conclude the first Mishna in Avot by teaching, “Strengthen your Torah through constant discussion.” (Chassid Ya’avetz, who does not believe that the Mishna teaches us to “Make a fence around the Torah!”) Who were these people? The Talmud teaches: “Why were they called Men of the Great Assembly? Because they restored the crown of the divine attributes to its completeness. Moshe had said, “God, great, powerful and awesome.” Then Yirmeyahu came and said “Nations are destroying His Temple. Where are his “awesome deeds? So he omitted the attribute “Awesome.” Daniel came and said, “Nations are enslaving His children. Where are His mighty deeds? So he omitted the attribute “Mighty.” But the Men of the Great Assembly came and said, “On the contrary! Therein lie His Mighty deeds that he suppresses His wrath, that He extends long patience to the wicked. Therein lies His awesomeness: For but for the fear of Him, how could one single nation persist among the many nations!” When the Anshei Knesset HaGedolah added this phrase to our Tefillah they were restoring the glory of Hashem. II. There is more. When they acknowledged God’s awesomeness and might even in the most desperate of situations they were restoring that level of His Divine Providence to the world. The court of the lower world joined with God to restore a higher level of Hashgacha Pratit.
This speaks of the power of human beings to bring a higher level of Hashgacha to the world. Humans did it. Again, this is a praise of God. He granted us extraordinary power in our relationship with Him. He gave us the ability to work in partnership with Him. III. Any other leader would have been devastated. The Second Temple was complete. Most of the Babylonian exiles chose to remain where they were. Jerusalem was vulnerable and under populated. Many, if not most, of the Jews who had returned from Babylon were intermarried. The Jews had chosen to remain dispersed. Judaism could not remain centered around the Temple. People were unfamiliar with prayer and blessings. The Anshei Knesset HaGedolah chose to approach all these impossible issues with the greatest surge of creativity in Jewish History. They compiled the siddur. They formulated the blessings. They instituted the structure of Judaism as we know it. Even Jeremiah and Daniel were forlorn, but these people saw this moment in history as an opportunity to grow. They understood the absolute demand to be deliberate. They appreciated the need to nurture new generations of students. They were clear that they were challenging all future generations of Jews to see God’s awesomeness and Power even where Jeremiah and Daniel did not. Their concluding, most important message was to strengthen Torah through explanations. Explain why we do what we do. Discuss our reasons. Challenge people to ask, and give them answers. They knew that this new expression of creativity would give rise to argument and debate, as we soon see in Pirkei Avot, that there were

divisions of authority and opinion. They knew all this. They wanted this. What else could possibly result from nurturing independence in our students? And they saw these discussions, questions and arguments as a source of strength. These discussions would create a fortress for Torah, one that would protect its integrity and sanctity through all the generations to come.

Rebuilding your Life in a New Land by Amy Kronish (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/13/2010 4:02:00 AM
Yesterday at the Jerusalem Film Festival, I went to see a Belgian film, Illegal(directed by Olivier MassetDepasse) about a woman from Russia who is treated badly by the local police because she is an illegal worker. This was a compelling story about a mother and her teenage son and the trials that they undergo in trying to become accepted in their new surroundings. For some reason, this is a subject that has been really bothering me in recent years – as it becomes more and more of a human issue all over Europe, the United States, and certainly here in Israel. The Israeli features of recent years
that deal with foreign workers or visitors and the influence that they have had on us (all of which have been reviewed on this blog) include: Foreign Sister(Dan Wolman) James’ Journey to Jerusalem(Ra’anan Alexandrowicz) Noodle(Ayelet Menachemi) Janem Janem(Haim Bouzaglo) and documentaries: The Tale of Nicolai and the Law of Return(David Ofek) Children by Remote Control(Nachum Landau) A Palestinian film that deals with this subject of migration and trying to rebuild your life in a new country is My Father from Haifa by PalestinianDanish filmmaker, Omar Shargawi. The film, which was screened this week at the Jerusalem Film Festival, is a particularly sensitive and
personal look at a father-son relationship and at their journey to the childhood home of the filmmaker’s father. Omar Shargawi, won an award at the Rotterdam Film Festival (2008) with his debut film, a feature about the Arab community in Copenhagen, Go in Peace, Jamil. Another film about Palestinians who have found their place abroad is Amreeka, directed by Cherien Dabis, about a mother and son who emigrate to Illinois to be with relatives. The film is about finding a place to call home, where we feel comfortable, where we can have friends, where our children will find happiness and educational opportunity.

The IDF timeline on the Mavi Marmara by Elder of Ziyon (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/13/2010 3:11:00 AM
The IDF put out videos (Hebrew only so far) and an English description of the events that happened on the Mavi Marmara, based on the results of the Eiland team investigation: The IDF forces were divided and each group boarded a different ship. The soldiers arrived at the Mavi Marmara at 4:28 AM, but could not board the ship due to metal objects being thrown at them, and electric buzz saws used by the demonstrators to slice the ladders IDF soldiers needed to board the Marmara. After an unsuccessful attempt to board the ship by smaller boats, a helicopter arrived at 4:30 AM with 15 IDF soldiers. The first rope dropped by the helicopters was tied by the demonstrators to the deck of the ship in order to prevent the soldiers’ descent. Soldiers that descended down the second rope were met by 2-4 demonstrators each who wielded knives, axes, and metal poles. The second soldier to descend was shot in the stomach by a demonstrator. The soldiers who were in danger of their lives were forced to use their live weapons. Five soldiers were injured by stabbing, blows and live fire by the demonstrators. Within seconds of boarding the ships, three soldiers were thrown off the deck by
demonstrators. The injured were dragged to the hull of the ship. A reinforcement of soldiers arrives from a second helicopter, which is also attacked by demonstrators, and the soldiers are met with violence when they attempt to access the lower deck of the ship. At 4:46 AM a third helicopter arrives to the Mavi Marmara, and the two groups of soldiers combine forces on the ship roof and descend to the other parts of the ship, where they are also met with lethal violence, and thus respond with live fire. Many of the demonstrators enter inside of the ship as the smaller boats arrive at the side of the ship, however some still violently attack the incoming boats and the soldiers respond with live fire. The Commander of the Special Navy Forces boards the ship, and while evaluating the forces, it is discovered that three soldiers are missing. The missing and injured soldiers are discovered to have been abducted by a number of violent demonstrators, who abandon the soldiers and run back into the ship when fired at. Two of the injured soldiers jump off the ship so that they can be picked up by the IDF boats. The third injured soldier is on the bow of the boat and slipping out of consciousness. IDF soldiers remaining on the boat come to his aid. At 5:17 AM the situation is evaluated and some of the findings: live fire was used by demonstrators towards IDF soldiers who were on the
ship, including one soldier who descended down the rope and was shot in the abdomen. Live fire by the demonstrators was also aimed at the soldiers on the small Israeli Navy boats next to the Marmara. The first occurence of live fire was that used by the demonstrators. In addition, a gun with emptied magazines was found in the hull of the ship. IDF forces had boarded the other ships without incident. Treatment and evacuation was carried out for the injured soldiers and demonstrators alike. 38 injured were airlifted, 7 of them soldiers. The three soldiers who had been attempted to be kidnapped and were taken to the hull of the ship were witness to an argument between the violent demonstrators, and other passengers of the Marmara who asked the violent demonstrators to cease their violent activity. 24 of the injured passengers were diagnosed at the Ashdod Port and treated in hospitals in Israel. After the operation ended, the ships arrived at the Ashdod Port accompanied by Israeli Naval forces. An intelligence investigation following the flotilla incident found that 40 of the IHH activists previously boarded the Marmara ship from Istanbul before joining the others. The 8 of the 9 demonstrators killed were members of the IHH or other allied groups. Around half of those killed had declared in front of their families their aspiration to die as
martyrs (“shahids”). Footage on the Marmara shows that the violence had been prepared: metal poles and chains were prepared, slingshots, buzzsaws, gas masks, tear gas, bulletproof vests, knives, and more. A briefing had taken place before the IDF had boarded the ship, with the leader of the violent demonstrators telling the group to attack the IDF soldiers at any cost. There were 718 total passengers of the flotilla ships. Most were released without undergoing any investigation. The last passenger left on June 6th.

Why archaeology is important by Carl in Jerusalem (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/13/2010 4:26:00 AM
Why archaeology is important A clay fragment that was found at the City of David archaeological site demonstrates that Jerusalem was anything but a backwater when Kings David and Solomon set up their dynasty here three thousand years ago. The fragment, found in the Ophel area, in a dig carried out by Dr. Eilat Mazar of the Hebrew University Institute of Archeology and funded by New York philanthropists Daniel Mintz and Meredith Berkman, is a small piece of what appears to have been a larger tablet. What makes it important is that it contains writing in ancient cuneiform symbols. This makes it the oldest written document ever found in Jerusalem. That alone is fascinating but what makes it truly significant is the high quality of the writing that seems to be the work of a highly skilled scribe who was probably part of a royal household. Analysis of the writing by Hebrew University experts shows that it may well have been part of a message sent from a king of Jerusalem to the
pharaoh in Egypt. And why does this matter? Jonathan Tobin explains. This matters because many influential archaeologists, as well as Palestinian propagandists, have dismissed Jewish ties to Jerusalem by claiming that the Kingdom of David mentioned in the Bible was an insignificant entity and that its capital in Jerusalem was nothing more than a village. These people scoff at the notion that the effort to restore Jewish sovereignty to the area is based on historical precedent rather than biblical romance. The lesson of this most recent find is that if Jerusalem were already an important walled city in the centuries before David, it is very difficult to argue that it was a backwater only when the Jews took over, some 3,000 years ago. Since anti-Zionists wish to claim that King David and his kingdom never really existed and that the great city from which he ruled it is a myth, this evidence of the city’s significance even before his time is more proof of the falsity of anti-Israel historical polemics. The stakes involved in these seemingly arcane archaeological disputes are quite high. That is why anti-Zionists have been at such pains
to dismiss or minimize the importance of Mazar’s amazing finds in the course of her exploration of the City of David site. As COMMENTARY wrote back in February, when Mazar released findings that showed that she had found a portion of an ancient city wall as well as other possible royal structures dating to the 10th century B.C.E., the greatest threat to those who think that parts of Jerusalem should be off-limits to Jews comes not when Jewish-owned buildings go up but when Jews start digging into the ground. On the back slopes of the Mount of Olives, there is a unique kind of archaeological dig. If you’re in Israel and looking for something to do, you might think about going to help them out for a day. It’s probably the first archaeological dig to take place entirely above ground. When the Waqf built an underground mosque in Solomon’s stables on the Temple Mount several years ago, massive amounts of dirt, containing hundreds of artifacts from the Temple periods, were carted off and dumped in the Kidron Valley in the dead of night. This ‘dig,’ which is run by the City of David group, is sifting through those mounds and mounds of
dirt looking for those artifacts. They have found many. But there is much more to be done. Every artifact that is found is another piece of evidence of the Jewish connection to Jerusalem.

Fixation Factor on Fading Facebook by Honest Reporting (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/13/2010 1:49:00 AM
HonestReporting’s social media editor, Alex Margolin, contributes occasional posts on social media issues. He oversees HonestReporting on Facebook. When it comes to spreading information across the Internet, it is difficult to find a platform more effective than Facebook. The site boasts an international membership of more than 400 million, including a whopping 125 million active users in the US alone. And its main purpose – keeping friends connected – means that information travels from friend to friend, network to network, though trusted relationships, the most effective way to get people’s attention. Facebook has become such a major part of mainstream culture that it functions almost as a miniature Internet inside the Internet — except that Facebook does not allow anonymity, which keeps discourse cleaner and more responsible (for the most part.)
We saw how effective Facebook could be during the Gaza flotilla crisis. One Facebook group devoted to spreading truth about the flotilla “activists” reached 252,700 members. Another group with a similar purpose has 97,000 members. A Facebook group also played a key role in HonestReporting’s campaign to force Comedy Central to remove an offensive game from its website. But it looks as thought he Internet giant has started to approach its plateau. According to the website Inside Facebook, the site gained only 320,800 new members in June. While most Internet properties would envy that sort of growth, it represents a monumental drop from the 7.8 million new members it gained in May. Even more surprising, the site lost members from its key demographic – people ages 18 to 44. At the same time, Facebook added more members in the 13-17 range and the 45-55 range. Wired magazine offered its own assessment of Facebook’s decline in growth: One possibility is that the May and June controversies over Facebook’s
privacy policies and dominance have kept the company from tremendous new growth and even led some to curtail their use. Another possibility is that it’s just a statistical aberration, or a result of changes to the advertising system, where Inside Facebook says it gleans its numbers. But there’s also the possibility that almost every American who has any interest in joining Facebook already has. Facebook says it has about 125 million active U.S. accounts and is likely closing on half a billion accounts worldwide. Does that mean Facebook has reached its peak? Will it soon fade from its exalted Internet status? Not likely. It still holds second place (behind Google) as the most visited site on the Internet. And it remains the biggest site for sharing photos online. But as the site’s growth flattens, it could mean a change of approach for the company. Instead of looking to draw more members, it could focus instead on improving services for its current members. That might mean finding new ways to strengthen connections between friends, and new ways to share information.
So for those who see Facebook as a platform for viral content, Facebook’s “decline” could be the best news yet. Previously in Alex’s series: Are Hyperlinks Hyper-Jinxed?

Why We Need to Break Away From Fossil Fuel Dependency and Find Alternative Energy Sources by paraisrael (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/12/2010 11:25:24 PM
by hugovk Why We Need to Break Away From Fossil Fuel Dependency and Find Alternative Energy Sources Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 20 years, you probably have heard about OPEC. OPEC is an acronym for Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Twelve countries – Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela make up the membership of the cartel. The developed world runs on oil, so it’s easy to see that oil (or rather, the production and exportation of oil) can be used as a very effective weapon. And it has been. And it likely will be again. The Arab-Israeli conflict contributes to the problem. After the Six-Day War in 1967, OPEC was transformed into a political force, and a formidable political force at that. It
was the Yom Kippur War of 1973 that brought things to a head. Arab countries were furious over the emergency resupply efforts that had made it possible for Israel to withstand Egyptian and Syrian forces. The 1973 oil embargo ensued. But oil that is pumped out of the ground must be stored – or used. By the 1980s, there was an oil glut. There was more oil available than there was demand for it, and the price of oil began to take a nose dive. Exports declined, and so did the money. The members of OPEC were not happy campers. But as I said, oil is the fuel that runs the world. The excess of supply didn’t last long. Oil prices fluctuate, but OPEC isn’t totally responsible. Oil is traded as a commodity on stock exchanges and investors can drive the price up by bidding on what’s called “futures.” This is the main cause of the high price of gasoline that American consumers were paying during 2008. However OPEC is a force to be reckoned with and they can use oil as a weapon again. Unless, we become less dependent on oil and find other
alternative energy sources.

Anat Hoffman’s Women of the Wall Arrested as Police Wrest Torah from Her Arms by Richard Silverstein (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel)
by Bnei-Baruch (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/13/2010 12:32:24 AM
Submitted at 7/13/2010 3:03:51 AM
Another day of shame for an Israeli religious establishment and its police lackeys who violently wrested a sacred Torah scroll from the arms of a praying Jewish woman, all because she had the temerity to demand that Jewish women be entitled to worship equally with men at one of Judaism’s holiest sites. Anat Hoffman, director of Women of the Wall and a leader of Israel’s Reform movement, was arrested by Israeli police at the behest of the men in black who cannot countenance any woman having the balls to demand the rights enjoyed by Jewish men for millenia–to hold and leyn from the Torah. In Hoffman’s account of her ordeal published at the Forward, she noted that the Israeli Supreme Court had devised a compromise that allowed women to both carry and read from a Torah scroll at the Kotel and that she was not violating this ruling: We did nothing wrong. We were fully within the guidelines of the Supreme Court ruling which allows us to hold the Torah. We were not reading from the Torah. We were just singing and praying, and on our way to Robinson’s Arch to complete the service, as per the terms of the Supreme Court. There was absolutely no reason for me to be arrested. The arrest is solely a product of hateful, intolerant, power-grabbing Orthodox rabbis who feel that they own the Kotel and seek to set the rules and punish those who brook their power. For her “crime,” she was fined $1,300 and placed under a restraining order that bars her from the Kotel for 30 days. In response the Israeli police spokesperson acknowledged in Alice

in Wonderland fashion that Hoffman was arrested for…prayer: Anat Hoffman was arrested by police…because she prayed with a Sefer Torah. A shande.

The post-Bush era by Carl in Jerusalem (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/13/2010 2:09:00 AM
The post-Bush era Victor Davis Hanson has an hysterical take on the post-Bush era and how it differs from what preceded it (Hat Tip: Instapundit). Guantanamo Bay virtually closed; only the Republican Congress prevented it from really being closed in the archaic sense of actually being still open. Wanting to do something is far more important than mundanely doing it. Predator targeted assassinations are as necessary and humane as three waterboarding incidents were not. I know that because Ivy League law deans are silent about, or have signed off on, the current targeted assassinations. After all, would you rather have water illegally poured down your throat, or legally be vaporized as if hit by lightning? We are not killing “terrorists” or “Islamists” in Waziristan; instead our “overseas contingency operations” are aimed at reminding Muslims that their own past contributions to science have led to breakthroughs like Hellfire missiles. … No longer need we arbitrarily dub an Ahmadinejad, Assad, or a Chavez as
“hostile” or a Colombia, India, Israel, Poland, or the Czech Republic intrinsically an “ally.” Easy labels are gone; sophisticated reset analysis is back — about what we would expect when we drop the nonsense about being “exceptional” and instead contextualize to the world our own past sins from slavery to genocide to dropping the atomic bombs. No one now falls for “neocon” propaganda, so we wisely keep mum about Iranian protestors and their supposed “democracy” or Honduras justices and their talk of “constitutional government” — at least when authentic progressive leaders are in jeopardy from reactionary capitalists. After all, why wait 234 years for a revolutionary
American president, and then when we finally get him, waste that historical occasion by not bonding with other revolutionary leaders?

Stupid Jews to transfer $13.5 million in cash to Gaza by Carl in Jerusalem (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/13/2010 3:06:00 AM
Stupid Jews to transfer $13.5 million in cash to Gaza I’m at a conference called “A New Hasbara System: From Social Media to Mass Media” and the connection here is slow, so I will be posting without pictures for now, and I won’t be posting video for the next few hours. But there’s plenty to post…. The Legal Forum for the Land of Israel sent an urgent letter on Monday to Prime Minister Netanyahu and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz urging them to stop the planned transfer of$13.5 million in cash to Gaza. The Legal Forum for the Land of Israel sent an urgent letter to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz on Monday, demanding to prevent the transfer of $13.5 million to Gaza on
Tuesday. In the letter, forum chairman Nachi Eyal says the transfer lends a hand to strengthening Hamas – which wants to destroy Israel – especially because the funds are in cash, which can be used to pay for goods brought via the smuggling tunnels, maybe even weapons, which will be returned to Sderot, other Gaza -area communities and Ashkelon in the form of Kassam rockets. The letter continues, “We must act to apply pressure on the Hamas government and not to help it by giving it an economic base….Stopping Israeli cooperation will send a clear message against terror and the possibility of rearmament of Hamas and renewal of the war against us in the South.” There are reports that Noam Shalit, the father of abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, is considering petitioning the Supreme Court against the transfer. That report went up in Hebrew late Monday afternoon. The last update is
the English translation as of now. I suspect that there was no appeal and that the money went to Gaza.

Russia: Authorities break up female suicide bomber cell by Esther (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/13/2010 2:09:00 AM
Russia: Authorities break up female suicide bomber cell Via NYT: Russian security services have broken up what they described as a terrorist cell in a Muslim region of the country the was preparing female suicide bombers for attacks on major Russian cities, officials announced on Monday. They said six women had been arrested who had already written “farewell letters” as they were being prepared for deployment. But the officials did not disclose whether attacks were imminent, or any other details about planning. This article was prepared by the Islam in Europe blog – islamineurope.blogspot.com Two men were also arrested, including one said to have played a role in attacks by two female suicide bombers on two subway stations in Moscow in March, which killed 40 people. On Monday night, state-controlled television broadcast footage of the female suicide bombers detained by security forces. The National Antiterrorism Committee, a federal body, said the six women ranged in age from 15 to 29 years, adding that four of them were widows whose husbands had died in security operations. The committee said suicide belts and weapons were confiscated.

Britain develops stealth capable UAV by Carl in Jerusalem (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/13/2010 12:50:00 AM
Britain develops stealth capable UAV Britain has developed a stealth capable UAV that is capable of carrying out surveillance and combat missions across the world. The vehicle is called Taranis and it looks like something from outer space. Defence firm BAE Systems today officially unveiled its first ever hightech unmanned stealth jet. The Taranis, named after the Celtic god of thunder, is about the same size as a Hawk jet and is equipped with stealth equipment and an ‘autonomous’ artificial intelligence system. The plane will test the possibility of developing the first ever autonomous stealthy Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) that would ultimately be capable of precisely striking targets at long range, even in another continent. The trial aircraft cost £143 million pounds to construct and spearheads
BAE’s drive to convince the Ministry of Defence to invest in the next generation of unmanned aircraft. Almost invisible to ground radar, it is designed to travel at high jet speeds and cover massive distances between continents. The plane is built to carry out intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance on enemy territory using onboard sensors. And it has been designed to carry a cache of weapons – including bombs and missiles -, giving it a potential long-range strike capability. It can be controlled from anywhere in the world with satellite communications. Test flights are scheduled to start in 2011. You have to wonder why the Brits are spending so much money on this. Maybe because with Obama in power they no longer trust the US? (Maybe not – development was started in 2006). Israel might also be interested in this sort of thing to stop Iran. I wonder if we have one under development. Hmmm.

[Excerpt: " In the report, which was obtained by The Associated Press, the analysts warn that U.S. diplomacy must sharpen the distinction between the Muslim faith and violent Islamist extremism, identify radicalizers within Islamic communities and empower voices that can contest the radical teachings."] CNS News July 13, 2010 by Lolita C. Baldor, Association Press The Obama administration’ s recent move to drop references to Islamic radicalism is drawing fire in a new report warning that the decision ignores the role religion can play in motivating terrorists. Several prominent counter-terror experts are challenging the administration’ s shift in its recently unveiled National Security Strategy, saying the terror threat should be defined in order to fight it. The question of how to frame the conflict against al-Qaida and other terrorists poses a knotty problem.

Growing Radicalism in the Balkan Region by Feby (Hija del Zion para Israel - Daughter of Zion for Israel) Submitted at 7/13/2010 1:26:00 AM
Increasing radicalism threatens stability in the Balkans. Just last week at a Serb-led rally against Kosovo governing authorities in the ethnically divided city of Mitrovica, a hand grenade exploded leaving one dead and ten injured. Serb and ethnic-Albanians leaders blamed each other for the attack. Balkan leaders need to begin acting on principle rather than narrow selfinterest. Although the international community can support this process, ultimately regional leaders need to stand-up and be counted.
