Reminding me why I am a conservative..

David Owen, former foreign Secretary of Britain in the late 70’s and then leader of the socialist democrats in the UK goes full on Jimmy Carter in this absurd piece of opinion in order to buttress his frankly detached from reality views, maybe he is channeling Barack Obama? I hear that is popular these days.

Not only does he advocate near total surrender to Iran’s every whim, but in a cruel twist of Irony he is not opposed to force as most leftists usually are. He supports the use of force indeed, just not against Iran.. Instead he advocates the President of the United States announce publicly that the US will defend air corridors to Iran and engage militarily with its chief ally Israel! Yes, you read that correctly - Shoot down Israeli fighter jets on any mission to Iran.

[...] Bush’s legacy would be best served by taking dramatic diplomatic action to prevent a war with Iran. He should publicly warn Israel that the United States will use its air power to prevent it bombing Iran, while announcing that he is sending Rice to Tehran to start negotiating a grand bargain whereby all sanctions would be lifted if Iran forgoes the nuclear weapons option. [...]

Parallel Universe

I guess the left really does live in a mirror universe where up is down & black is white. In Owen’s world Iran & the US are the allies, and Israel is the pariah nation. America should not threaten force on Iran, but it is justified in doing so against its ally Israel. In Owen’s world Iran is eager to deal with everyone, its is the lack of leadership by President Bush which is preventing peace on earth & love toward all.

Thankfully Iran has announced its own pre-conditions to the USA before any negotiations can take place and they coincidentally fall right in line with Owen’s worldview. Iran is calling for the total withdrawal of all US military forces from the entire Middle East, and the end of US support for Israel as its pre-conditions..

Hmm, Owen you are a genius! Maybe on the way out of the Middle East in compliance with Iran’s demands for a ‘grand-bargain’, America could take it a step further and simply attack / destroy all of Israel while the Supercarriers are sailing by, thus filling the entire Iranian condition slate in one go. I’m sure the USS Reagan, the Nimitz, The USS H.W Bush, the Eisenhower, etc and all the great leaders these marvelous powerhouse ships are named after would highly approve..

Amazingly enough, I couldn’t find any ships named after another ‘great’ leader - Neville Chamberlain, I wonder why that is?

Thanks, feel free to shut up now.

In the nobody cares what you have to say department the unelected multilateral Spaniard is king..

European Union Foreign Policy Chief Javier Solana on Friday issued a harsh criticism of the management of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians since the Annapolis Conference, saying that from the beginning the talks were carried out far too slowly.

In an interview with Haaretz after his arrival Friday for a tour of Israel and the Palestinian territories, Solana expressed doubts over whether a deal could be completed by the end of the year, saying that the longer the sides wait to go forward with talks, the less they are likely to succeed.

“Because time is shorter, it will more difficult to do,” Solana said in regard to the talks, adding “I think we have to maintain the momentum.”

Do you know what seemingly lacks urgency in my eyes Mr. Solana? Disarming the Hezbollah and preventing them from taking over Lebanon. You know what else seems to lack any urgency on your part Mr. Solana? The removal of the Hamas terrorist government in Gaza. These are pressing issues in Israel in case Mr. Solana didn’t notice.

Nice Work there jacko

Since Solana was such a driving force in trying to arrange a ‘cease fire’ with Hezbollah terrorists in the 2006 conflict, instead of arranging to ’cease their fire’ permanently; or since he was also a driving force in sticking his toy UN soldiers to buffer and protect Hezbollah so they could operate & arm with impunity - one might surmise we could care less what he has to say.

You know what else is urgent Mr. Eu? The Iranians and their mad drive to nuclear weapons. Solana was the last man to speak to the Iranians on the phone after they rejected the latest international package of incentives, his response seemed to be that his talks were satisfactory, a position contrary to just about everyone else save the commie Putin. Funny how these Peace Talks are ‘urgent’ but the threat to annihilate Israel with WMD is not so much so..

Hope you enjoy your tour, try not to choke on a falafel ball while you are here. Can anyone tell I’m a BIG fan? Just checking.

You know I didn’t need to post this because I ripped it right off SoccerDad’s blog but I couldn’t resist*

The reason temptation grabbed me so heartily is that last week, I read an article on Booth while looking to find out more about this former BBC anchor.. Here’s what I found and it is an enlightening piece of what goes into forming these rabid maniacs who submit themselves to the Palestinian horror machine with full force. They are usually quite disturbed as I had imagined. But each should reserve his or her own judgement..

Lauren Booth reveals why she HATES her mother and never wants to see her again

Quite the cuckoo, in any case she’s ‘trapped’ in Gaza after having sailed on the blockade breaking Gazan Peace Boat, you know the one the Palestinians were disappointed didn’t contain more food because they are all starving? Here’s a picture of the horrible state of affairs in Gaza.

If I go to Gaza can I also be an International Peace Envoy? Better yet, haven’t I done enough merely with this post to warrant the title actually? Apparently so since Tony has been doing little ‘envoying’ of late that I can tell..

Incidentally, that grocery store is more packed with goods than either of the two near my apartment in Tel Aviv, and the computer is fancier too.. Pls pardon my french but Lauren has a pretty fat looking ass for a woman on Gazan starvation rations - If only we had so much to eat when the Romans laid siege to the holy city of Jerusalem we might still have a temple!

* He’s also got more images - I’ll tell you this, the likelyhood of you often seeing SD type the words ‘fat ass’ in one of his posts is probably pretty low, so I have clearly added something to the topic and am feeling better about my thievery already ; )

Not exactly what you want to here when you’re running the most famous ‘occupation’ around..

YNET / Associated Press

Italy agreed to pay Libya $5 billion as compensation for its 30-year occupation of the country during the 20th century, the Libyan foreign minister told reporters Saturday.

Abdel-Rahman Shalgam said that visiting Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is set to sign a memorandum pledging a $5 billion compensation package involving construction projects, student grants, and pensions for Libyan soldiers who served with the Italians during the Second World War.

“It is a material and emotional recognition of the mistakes that our country has done to yours during the colonial era,” Berlusconi told reporters at the airport on his arrival. “This agreement opens the path to further cooperation.”

In return, Italy wants Libya to crack down on illegal migrants turning up on Italian shores and will fund US$500 million worth of electronic monitoring devices on the Libyan coastline. [...]

These are the kinds of things that can really ruin your week. I’m happy for the Libyans who are seemingly at least a little reformed these days, but now occupation compensation is going to be a new buzzword. Surely it won’t be long before this comes up in Ramallah as an ‘inalienable Palestinian right’.

It’s not so sexy to the press but we’ve already absorbed billions in shekel costs from Gazan withdrawal which involved several thousand Israelis, we are footing the bill regardless how it is termed it seems - But have yet to see much benefit, generous Italian gestures notwithstanding.

The Palestinians, they need billions in aid & the EU is more than glad to comply. This humanitarian effort is most appreciated, though Israelis in general might be more appreciative if the Humanitarian aid trucks weren’t packed with EU packaged sugar actually containing tons of explosives destined for Hamas & Fatah terrorists.

The IDF has intercepted 6.5 tons of humanitarian aid marked as ‘EU sugar’ which actually contains Potassium Nitrate (YNET) - the stuff used to make massive truck bombs like the ones used to attack the World Trade Center in the 90’s, and which brought down the federal building in Oklahoma.

The great peace drive and the international enablers who make it happen - the more murdered Jews the better I guess, I’m waiting for the massive international aid inquiry, the firings & charges against the EU aid workers who are smuggling weapons to terrorists, and the international condemnation..

I’ll no doubt be waiting a VERY long time as the EU response was ‘no comment.’

Via Drudge..

The depravity of this pitiful News organization can’t get any lower than it already has. Here’s the BBC explaining to children all about 9/11, so they can grow up to be good little terrorists. Beyond the useful service they are providing worldwide to fuel rampant Anti-Americanism, rampant Anti-Semitism, is there any reason for this Islamist outfit to exist any more? It is certainly not a suitable place to get news, even for the kiddies it seems..

I’m surprised they didn’t mention the Jooz involvement in the whole affair.

UPDATE 9/12 (it’s actually now 9/13 here in Israel - Happy New Year

GONEZO - BBC admits 9/11 explanation totally inappropriate, and removes / re-writes their youngin guide on 9/11. The still above is now an archived record of what was. I’ve not read the new version so far, I had a big holiday dinner and I’m not ready to puke just yet.

hat tip to the always smokin Atlas Shrugs, plus she’s got more..
(ain’t that the truth lol.)

UPDATE 9/14 - BBC BACKPEDAL
Uhh, the page was removed, and now has been put back..
In its original form!

Stop the ACLU has the details

(Two can play that game, this post has been sent BACK to the top of the blog)

The RCMP (Canada’s equivalent to the FBI) has arrested a Montreal area man involved in yet another international plot to commit terror.

CTV- Quebecer arrested in connection with terror plot

VIENNA, Austria — A 35-year-old Quebec resident has been arrested in connection with an alleged threat to bomb targets outside Canada. The RCMP says Said Namouhwas arrested yesterday in Maskinonge, Quebec, northeast of Montreal. Namouh faces conspiracy charges and is slated to make a court appearance in Montreal tomorrow morning. RCMP say he was arrested in connection with an Austrian investigation into an online threat against Austria and Germany.

Austrian authorities say they rounded up three alleged al Qaeda sympathizers earlier this week — two men and a woman, all Austrian citizens in their 20s and of Arab origin. They believe the three are linked with a video that surfaced in March threatening to attack Germany and Austria unless the two countries withdrew their personnel from Afghanistan.

Perfect Storm 

Montreal is traditionally a port / gateway city that now features an exploding Arabic & Muslim population. Fancying itself ‘European’, the city sports liberal bordering on criminally lax security, a native french population that is radically left, & thus naturally sympathetic to so called ‘resistance’ and anti-Americanism, while harboring at the same time deep antithesis to religion, Israel and Jews in particular. Quebecers are statistically speaking the most anti-Semitic population group in Canada.

During last summer’s Lebanon conflict with Hezbollah tens of thousands marched in the city in support of the terror group, including prominent Quebec politicians. Quebec’s population has never supported the Afghanistan mission, or the liberation of Iraq. The city has been featured as one of the leading grounds for terror fundraising & recruiting on the North American continent, and is ceaselessly in the news due to the fact that it is both a breeding ground for terrorists, as well as a convenient safe-haven.

Who? Us? 

But if you were to ask Government officials, law enforcement, or the average Quebecer they would deny it all.. Unfortunately the facts speak for themselves. Please see the following posts for an endless litany of embarrassing and dangerous terror ties featuring Quebec & Montreal, the terror capitol of North America, and this is just the tip of the iceberg:

• Al Qaeda NYC accused bomb plotter recruited in Montreal - As usual
• Montreal: Welcome to the Terror Drome?

Update: Some Montrealers prefer to exhibit denial.. Who Us!?

A local Montreal message board (MTLURB) picked up the post with some interesting conversation, of course the message board put the post in almost in its entirety, except for the links at the bottom with the NUMEROUS examples, news articles, & sourcing of the endless tirade of Montreal incidents involving terrorism in order to generate some unfounded rage. Which of course, caused one local to lament in french how this is the 1st time a Montreal area person has been associated / arrested regarding radical Islamist inspired terrorism - Convenient, but unfortunately factually quite incorrect.

The writing is on the wall..

• The already infamous academic boycott (incidentally, this is the 2nd time such a boycott has sprouted).
• Yesterday’s Foreign Office recommendation report.
• Arms sales from Britain to Israel are being frozen / blocked.
• Former UN deputy secretary-general to Kofi Annan, Mark Malloch Brown is a big man on campus now at the Foreign Office.
• The UK is diverging with it’s key ally, the USA in Iraq.
• The increasing Islamification of the UK.
• Spiralling Anti-Semitism in the UK.
• Tony Blair’s appointment as Mid-East envoy which will only exacerbate / increase the pressure for failed resolutions.
• Collapsing of the UK position regarding the terrorist group Hamas.

The end of the Blair era will be getting ugly. While Gordon Brown is a left-centrist & supporter of the UK / Israel relationship, his key aide and now a top guy at the Foreign Office (minister for Africa, Asia, and the United Nations) detests the Jewish State. While at the UN Mark Malloch Brown never wasted an opportunity to criticize Israel & beyond fiercely. Malloch is an Arabist, multilateralist and an appeaser of the worst kind, the reality is he has zero love for Israel and even less for the USA.

Last year DURING the Lebanon conflict with a hundred rockets striking Israel per day; Malloch Brown openly questioned the notion that Hezbollah was a terrorist organization..

FOX NEWS[...] “It’s not helpful to couch this war in the language of international terrorism. Hezbollah employs terrorist tactics; it is an organization, however, whose roots historically are completely separate and different from Al Qaeda,” he said, according to a transcript of an interview [...]

In issue after issue at the UN under Kofi, Malloch slammed Israel while showing open sympathies for her enemies - the stench of the UN is all over this guy.

Bush is considered a power supporter of Israel, but one need only look at his State Dept. to see that what the guy up top wants is not nec. reflected by his foreign office, if the US example of broken telephone between head of state & state can lead to some bad tendenecies for Israel.. You can rest assured the UK version will seem like the Ice Age.

Update: Daled Amos weighs in on the lunacy of it all, when policy goes wonko!

How can The House of Commons’ Foreign Affairs Committee say:

“Given the failure of the boycott [of Hamas] to deliver results, we recommend the government should urgently consider ways of engaging politically with moderate elements within Hamas,” the all-party group of lawmakers said.

When it is being reported that

Shortages in raw materials slowing production of makeshift rockets, lead to decline in rocket fire from Gaza.
Why would Great Britain want to open the flow of money to terrorists and make it possible to replenish the resources Hamas needs to fire rockets into Israel? [...]

The UK Foreign Affairs Committee has submitted a report to the British foreign office which basically seeks to reverse UK foreign policy, and instead replace it with full & total appeasement as a policy goal. The report & its conclusions are frightening in light of the massive dangers Britain is facing with its malignant population of homegrown terrorists, massive financial network of terror supporters, and general failure these past 20 years in regards to curbing the threat of radical Islam best exemplified by subway bombs, blown out doubledeckers, and near catastrophic airline hijacking plots.

The Foreign Affairs Committee is made up of Parliament backbenchers (read that to mean NON POLICY experts, regular parliament joes) & is a good indication of the moronic nature of the left wing fetish currently sweeping that nation.. Among the policy recommendations.

• Negotiating with the HEZBOLLAH!
• Negotiating with the HAMAS!
• Scathing criticism of Israel
• Calling the Roadmap (recognized by the Quartet & the UN itself) ‘irrelevant’ while only recognizing one aspect of it, the establishment of a Palestinian state..
• Abolishment of the term “War on Terror” as it leads to ‘dangerous policy implications’
• Criticism of the UK for not stopping Israel in Lebanon etc etc
