Nasrallah visited Qusair, Syria more than once Posted: 16 Jun 2013 08:00 PM PDT Ali Hashem, writer for Al-Monitor, is a very pro-Assad journalist (and former BBC reporter) who also writes now for Hizballah's Al Mayadeen. His latest article is interesting - especially for those who want to see Hassan Nasrallah dead: In the center of the city, I stood in the middle of the main road as a huge, black four-wheel-drive came my way.Looks like the IDF needs to beef up its intelligence; Nasrallah's peeking out of his hole is too good a target to ignore, and hitting him in Syria (or getting any Sunni Arab to do it) would probably be much less problematic politically than taking him out in Lebanon. | ||
Turkish police adding chemicals (pepper spray) to water cannons Posted: 16 Jun 2013 04:40 PM PDT This photo has been floating around the pages of people watching the protests in Turkey: It is supposedly of Turkish security personnel pouring Jenix, a pepper spray concentrate, into the water cannons they are using against protesters at Gezi Park. Ansa (Italian) reports: Istiklal Avenue, Taksim Square, Besiktas, the Bosphorus Bridge: names that trigger in the minds of millions the images of holiday tourists and colorful Eastern postcards. Today these places in the heart of Istanbul are war zones. A war, with lots of stinging substances used by the police, which continues into the night. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets again in the megacities of the Bosphorus and Taksim to march to denounce the brutal assault last night of police in Gezi Park and the young activists who occupied it.While Jenix doesn't seem to be any less legal than tear gas, it is still a chemical weapon that causes the skin to burn. it is unclear whether it is meant to be mixed together with water in this fashion. So far, this has barely been reported in English anywhere except in social media. (h/t EG) | ||

Egyptian cleric recommends viewers read "Protocols of Elders of Zion" Posted: 16 Jun 2013 01:00 PM PDT From MEMRI: Following are excerpts from a panel featuring Egyptian cleric Khaled Kholif of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, which aired on Al-Hafez TV on May 27, 2013: Oh, and as far as that "inevitable conflict with the Jews," an Al Azhar University cleric elaborated on that theme: The Islamic nation, which is the guardian of Truth, must be aware of the conspiracies of Falsehood, and of the snares of those who lie in wait. Allah has taught [Muslims] that their worst enemies are those about whom He said: "You shall find the Jews and the polytheists to be the most hostile towards the believers" [Koran 5:82]. Thus, Allah made Jihad for His sake and endurance of pain and hardship effective means to fight the people of Falsehood....The confrontation [with the Jews] is inevitable. Our Prophet does not lie. He told us that there would be a confrontation between the Muslims and the Jews before the Day of Judgment, and that the Muslims would vanquish them to the point that the Jews would hide behind the stones and the trees, but the stones and the trees would say: "Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him." Prepare for that day, for it will surely arrive, because the divine revelation harbors no lies. | ||
6/16 Links: Iranian Election, Morsi breaks with Syria, Prof. Newman OBE and White Night Tel Aviv Posted: 16 Jun 2013 11:15 AM PDT From Ian: Netanyahu on Iran elections: 'Let's not delude ourselves' "Let us not delude ourselves," Netanyahu said. "The international community must not become caught up in wishes and be tempted to relax the pressure on Iran to stop its nuclear program. It must be remembered that the Iranian ruler, at the outset, disqualified candidates who did not fit his extremist outlook and from among those whose candidacies he allowed was elected the candidate who was seen as less identified with the regime, who still defines the State of Israel [in an address last year] as 'the great Zionist Satan.'"Iran votes for change, but new president will have a hard time delivering In his public speeches, Rowhani — himself a conservative Shiite cleric –promised Iranians change both domestically and abroad.

Sarah Schulman of "pinkwashing" fame is a paranoid fraud Posted: 16 Jun 2013 09:30 AM PDT Remember Sarah Schulman, who wrote one of the most bizarre op-eds in NYT history in her crazed attempt to say that anything Israel does that is gay-friendly is really to whitewash its alleged crimes, and whose hate for Israel makes it impossible for her to say a bad word about the undeniably homophobic terror group Hamas? Well, she organized a conference on "Homonationalism and Pinkwashing" at CUNY earlier this year. I pointed out some of the nuttier parts of the conference description, but it turns out that Schulman's hate for Israel caused her to disallow anyone to speak at - or even attend! - the conference unless their hate for the Jewish state was as pure as hers is. James Kirchick in Tablet describes how Schulman rejected numerous papers at the conference, even papers critical of Israel, if they did not toe her line that the only possible reason for Israel's being friendly to gays is to pursue its agenda of crushing Palestinian Arabs. Beyond that, when one man proposed a paper saying that Israel's support of gays was meant to help tourism rather than provide cove for genocide, Schulman not only angrily rejected the paper but publicly accused him of being an "Israeli operative:" But the most revealing of Schulman's interactions was with Jayson Littman, a New York-based organizer of social events for gay Jewish men who has led gay-themed Birthright trips to Israel. Last spring, Littman sent a proposal titled "The Myth of Pinkwashing," which, along the line of Jonathan Miller's, explained that the Israeli government's advertising its gay life is primarily about tourism dollars, not propaganda. Schulman sent him a similar response to the ones she fired off to the other three individuals described above. Littman's dedication to connecting gay Jews with Zionism, however, appears to have made him a prominent target of Schulman's florid campaign to portray any and all mention of gay life in Israel as part of a dark Israeli government-controlled conspiracy to oppress Palestinians.Littman, of course, is nothing of the sort. Kirchick also reveals this little tidbit: Schulman's behavior—accusing someone (by all accounts falsely) of being a spy for a foreign government and then compiling a dossier full of inaccurate "evidence" when challenged on the veracity of her claim—is the work of an activist, or of a secret policeman in the old Soviet-bloc states, not a scholar. Indeed, despite having the title of "Distinguished Professor" at CUNY, Schulman has no degree higher than a Bachelor's from Empire State College.Empire State College is known for its distance learning program; meaning that her degree is pretty much a mail order bachelor's degree, from a little known albeit accredited institution. CUNY hiring someone with those credentials as a "Distinguished Professor" makes one wonder about CUNY altogether. Kirchick concludes with the undeniable: In her opening speech, Schulman dropped any pretense of being anything other than an ideologue. Noting that some critics of her conference had suggested she invite "a keynote speaker from the other side," she responded, "Like there's two sides!" By offering a veneer of academic respectability to Sarah Schulman and her acolytes, CUNY has provided legitimacy to agitprop posing as scholarship.FrontPage had a nice review of the entire joke of a conference.

Egyptian politician smiles as he says Jews slaughter Christians for matzoh Posted: 16 Jun 2013 07:45 AM PDT As Ramadan approaches and the antisemitic Khaybar film is closer to airing on Egyptian TV, it seems that pure antisemitism is on the rise in Egyptian media. The latest from MEMRI: Following are excerpts from a TV show with Khaled Al-Zaafrani, founder of the Egyptian Justice and Progress Party, which aired on Al-Hafez TV on May 12, 2013. As usual, Western "human rights organizations" are silent. | ||
A moderate face on Iran's genocidal regime Posted: 16 Jun 2013 05:40 AM PDT Just how "moderate" is Iranian president-elect Hassan Rouhani? The answer is - it really doesn't matter. Like Ahmadinajad, he will have nothing to do with Iran's nuclear program, and having a Muslim Santa Claus replacing the ape that preceded him will mean literally zero as to what Iran is doing in its drive for nuclear weapons that would threaten the entire world. When your country has a "Supreme Leader," the title of "President" is more or less symbolic. The Ayatollah Khamenei even told the candidates that they must not make any concessions to the West, which makes the entire idea of a "moderate" president a joke. The mainstream media, however, keeps talking about Rouhani as if he is literally a moderate, and not just moderate relative to the handpicked ultra-right wing candidates allowed to run for the office. The Washington Post and a host of other media outlets simply call him a "moderate" and the Huffington Post even calls him a "reformist." This is for a person who has praised Bashar Assad and said "Syria has constantly been on the frontline of fighting Zionism and this resistance line must not be weakened." Moreover, Rouhani proudly boasts that as Iran's nuclear negotiator, he managed to delay Western sanctions while pushing the nuclear program forward. Arash Karami describes an interview with candidate Rouhani on Iranian TV: In the first question regarding Rouhani's time as nuclear negotiator, Abedini made a reference to P5+1 negotiations, to which Rouhani corrected him: "Mr. Abedini, don't be mistaken in your question. My negotiations were with the EU-3, not P5+1." Rouhani then explained the conditions which previous negotiations took place, saying, "What did America want to do? They wanted to send our case to the UN Security Council. They wanted what he had technologically to not be complete. We were after an opportunity to complete our technology."As president, it seems apparent that Rouhani will do the exact same thing - run interference for the West with his smiling demeanor while Iran's nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons delivery program speeds forward. Given how eager the gullible Western media is to represent him as a "moderate," it looks like the Supreme Leader could not have picked a better person to be president. | ||
Jordanian newspaper: "Let's kill the Jews everywhere" Posted: 16 Jun 2013 03:08 AM PDT
Batayena is apparently a Ba'athist, and in other articles he writes of his support for the Assad regime and he refers to Saddam Hussein as a "martyr." Even so, as you will see, he will happily use Koranic references as well. The title of the piece is "Let's Kill the Jews Everywhere." I'm not an extremist, nor racist… I'm not bloodthirsty and not vengeful… I'm not a terrorist and I've never been a killer… All my life I hated the color red, and my dictionary never included the word "blood"… I am not bloodthirsty at all… but I'm an oppressed Muslim and an Arab whose will has been taken away from him… that is how we were shaped in (these) bad times, which we haven't chosen (to be born into)… this is how it was planned that we should be… we are living in volcanic lands… We smell the smell of blood coming from every direction… they [presumably the Jews] turned the color of the ground into red… our people's body parts were scattered and their factions fought each other (literally "shot at each other") through Arab-like Hebrew hands ["musta'ariba", see Wikipedia for analog Mista-arvim]… and because I look at all these things without doing a thing – for that I'm an Arab. Because all my limbs are chained and I cannot move… because my tongue was made silent by the treacheries of the blood-traders [Arab rulers who made peace with Israel or at least don't fight it]… because my heart became dead and my words are no longer virgin, because my brown skin hides behind it chagrin/sorrow/anger and humiliation/disgrace, and therefore I am an Arab for sure… because our blood is permitted, while the blood of the apes and pigs is forbidden… because the Arab tyrants sold us for a cheap price and served us on golden plates as sacrifice for the Zionists… because the rotten Jewish tourist walks around [Arab countries] firmly guarded by Arab guards, in order to guard his filthy soul… because any Arab who wants to pray in Jerusalem has to obtain a visa from the killers of the children of Palestine… because the hero Daqamseh , see here] is described as "a criminal murderer by our Arab-like ["musta'arabin" again) ambassadors in the so-called Israel, and therefore I'm an Arab, unfortunately. Yes, unfortunately, our identity is lost since that whore Livni slept on the bosom of the rulers of Qatar, and its leaders kissed Hillary Clinton and hugged the black whore Condoleeza Rice… Yes, unfortunately I'm an Arab since Palestine has been erased from the map of the world… since that/one Canadian policeman told me that Israel is oppressed and it has to be aided [not sure if he means the Canadian government, or he refers to a personal encounter with an actual Canadian policeman]… since I found out that the entire world collects donations in order to support Israel in getting rid of terror, therefore I'm sorry that I'm an Arab. Thus, I have to be ashamed of my Arabness... I have to bury my head in the sand like an ostrich, with chagrin and weakness… but this will never happen… since our great leaders have taught us that Falsehood might win the battle but Truth wins the war, our paragon, leader and Master (the prophet) Muhammad Bin Abdallah Peace Be Upon Him taught us this... Yes, we will triumph, pray in Jerusalem and take revenge on the filthy murderers… we will kill them wherever we find them, as the Holy Koran told us [referring to the verse in the Koran which begins: "And kill them wherever you find them… " Sura 2, verse 191]… we will make them taste the taste of death, in which they became masters all over the Islamic and Arab lands… Yes, we will kill them, and I swear that if I get the chance, I won't miss it… since I believe in Allah and his Messenger, and I know that this world is nothing but the enjoyment of a delusion [another Koranic reference]…Therefore I want to be proud that I'm a Muslim Arab who doesn't believe in the Arab borders [he is a Baathist/nationalist Arab who believes in Arab unity "from the Maghreb to the Gulf"]. This is important not only for its unmistakable message of genocide against Jews, but from the perspective of the Arab honor/shame mentality. Batayena is writing exclusively from the point of view of Arabs being deeply humiliated by the very existence not only of Israel, but of Arabs who dare make peace with Israel. While this level of vitriol is unusual in even for the Arab media, it is clear that his point of view is not anomalous or even unusual. {h/t Ibn Boutros] |
