Did you know the Jews control Swedish media too?

Posted: 05 Jul 2013 03:20 PM PDT

Radio Islam has an extraordinarily long article in Swedish that seems to list every Jew who ever worked at, or appeared in, any Swedish TV or radio station, or any Jewish-themed TV show to ever air, over several decades, in its zest to prove that the Jews own the media.

It uses the exact same methods as those used by antisemitic sites in the US and Europe, ferreting out Jews or people with Jewish-sounding names in obsessive detail.

I noticed it because "Iraq4AllNews," an Arabic Danish site indexed by Google News, is translating it as a series of articles, so Arabic speakers can know about the incredible Jewish conspiracy to take over the huge Swedish television and radio market.

A quick glance at Radio Islam itself shows that it is pretty much an Arabic translation of Jewwatch or any of dozens of other virulently antisemitic websites. Here is only a small section of the psychotically obsessed homepage:

LATMA: Tawil Fadiha sins of peace and John Kerry explains his plan


Freedom lovers will bring prosperity to Middle East, Netanyahu says
"In the Middle East today, there are many people who seek liberty, and they are our natural peace partners and provide hope that the great turbulence that is rocking the Middle East… will hopefully result in a bright future for all people in the region," Netanyahu said. "It won't happen overnight, but if it does, prosperity and peace will be provided for all."
U.S., IDF Soldiers in Tel Aviv July 4 Party
Thirty American soldiers and officers celebrated American Independence Day together with over 150 IDF Lone Soldiers who made Aliyah from the United States, with the assistance of Nefesh B'Nefesh, FIDF, the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption and Tzofim Garin Tzabar.
These organizations maintain their relationship with the soldiers throughout their military service and provide them with personal and financial support.
IDF Blog: IDF's Druze Battalion Tests New Techniques for Fighting Hezbollah
The IDF's Herev Battalion, made up of members of Israel's Druze community, has gained many years of experience performing unique missions near the Israel-Lebanon border. In the 2006 Second Lebanon War, for instance, Herev was the first force to cross the border and the last to return – exhausted from completing a range of complex missions that earned the unit a citation.
The Herev Battalion, referred to as the IDF's "spearhead on the Lebanon border", used its wealth of operational experience in the region to develop new combat techniques for fighting against Hezbollah. These new techniques were tested last week for the first time in an intensive battalion-wide exercise.
Navigating to Freedom: 37 Years since Entebbe
The IDF's history is filled with many notable events, from the unforgettable triumphs to the heartbreaking hardships. Today (July 4th), we celebrate an epic chapter of the IDF's history by recalling an incident that gained international acclaim and respect for the heroism of Israel's soldiers.
Read on for a remarkable account of the successful completion of Operation Entebbe 37 years ago today, as Lt. Col. (res.) Avi Mor – the navigator of three of the four planes sent to rescue the hostages in Uganda – describes in detail his experience in directing 103 Jewish hostages to freedom.
July 4 Entebbe Memories
I will forever remember that the French crew was offered the chance to leave with the Christians… and chose to stay. The deadline was approaching. The terrorists were threatening to kill the passengers. At any moment, I expected to hear that explosions and gunfire had been heard coming from the compound.
July 4, Day of Operation Entebbe, Israel Upgrades Uganda Airport
July 4 is not only US Independence Day. It also is the anniversary of Operation Entebbe. An Israeli firm this week won a contract to return to Entebbe, ironically to upgrade its systems and security.
Yes, President Mohamed Morsi is Jewish
This is OK'ed for publication now, though it is with a heavy heart that I am doing it. The brilliant career of one of our best field agents is coming to an end, after 62 years of nurturing, training and managing our man in Cairo. Besides, he was outed as our agent by young Assad anyway and the counter-intelligence in Egypt is getting too close for comfort. And only his unshakable determination to end his days as a martyr for the Elders' cause and his absolute refusal to be extracted gave way to this public revelation, so alien to the traditions of our ancient establishment.

CIF Watch: Anti-Zionism of fools: What Egypt and the Guardian can learn from Israeli democracy
The Guardian's ideologically inspired legitimization of the Arab world's hostility towards Israel nurtures their continuing social pathos and sclerotic economies, and ensures that, whatever party takes power in the next Egyptian government, the shining example of diversity, tolerance sober, and liberal self-government to their north will never be leveraged to their advantage.
The anti-Zionism of fools makes it more probable that the 'Arab Spring' will continue to be merely a chimera.
Willow Creek Church's Involvement in Anti-Israel Group Raises Concerns
Since the creation of the modern Jewish state, American evangelicals have proudly been among Israel's most vocal supporters. Millions of these supports are members of the more than 11,000 congregations which belong to the Willow Creek Association--an umbrella organization formed by Willow Creek Community Church. Yet a co-founder of this megachurch, Lynne Hybels, has become one of the most outspoken critics of Israel through her work with a controversial advocacy group, Christ at the Checkpoint.
Christ at the Checkpoint hosts a myriad of religious leaders at a biannual conference in the West Bank under the guise of promoting peace and spreading the gospel. Yet a look at the conference keynote speakers, public pronouncements, and agenda betrays the true agenda of these activists.
German newspaper apologizes for 'Moloch' drawing
A cartoon purportedly showing Israel as a greedy "Moloch," published in a major German daily, has set off a firestorm of protest, despite an apology by the newspaper.
Artist Ernst Kahl said he was shocked to learn that the Sueddeutsche Zeitung daily newspaper used his drawing of a greenish, horned monster being served breakfast in bed by a pale, plump maid — originally created for the German gourmet magazine Der Feinschmecker — to illustrate a review of two new books on Israel, according to German news reports.
Suicide bomber film boycotted by Arab states
This week the Jerusalem Film Festival will be screening a film called The Attack which tells the story of an Arab-Israeli surgeon in Tel Aviv who discovers that his wife is a suicide bomber.
But the film has been banned in much of the Middle East because its Lebanese director shot the film in Israel with Israeli actors contravening a 1955 Lebanese Anti-Israel Boycott Law.
The director maintains the real reason the film was banned is because it does not demonize Israelis. Talking Movies' Tom Brook reports.
Samsung buys Israeli Web TV startup Boxee for $30 m.
Samsung acquired the Israeli streaming media startup Boxee for $30 million. The Israeli high-tech website TheMarker reported the acquisition by the Korean electronics giant on Wednesday. The report said Samsung will continue to employ Boxee's 40 employees.
Israel's Startup Culture Lures MBAs
"I think the key reasons to go to Israel are that you learn about innovation and how to create an environment for innovation, which is a lifelong valuable skill," says Rafi Musher, founder and chief executive of Israel & Co., adding that Israel partially subsidizes the trips. "[Visitors] also see that everyone is working on something that's big and is a problem—not just a cool app." (h/t Zvi)
Legs for paraplegics, and other startups from Israel's 'Silicon Wadi'
When U.S. President Barack Obama visited Israel in March, he stopped at the Israel Museum.
But in addition to a tour of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Mr. Obama met with seven groups of inventors whose products exemplify the best of Israeli innovation.
As part of the demonstration, a paraplegic, strapped into ReWalk, a battery-operated exoskeleton suit created by Argo Medical Technologies, walked confidently around the room. Students from the Technion, Israel's Institute of Technology, operated the Robotic Snake, a miniaturized camera-equipped robot that can slither into hard-to-access disaster sites. And scientists from Mobileye showed how their collision-prevention system can help drivers navigate more safely. (h/t Zvi)
Alicia Keys bares her heart and soul for Tel Aviv
Light on choreography but heavy on charisma, the show, part of her "Set the World on Fire" tour, included beloved hits like "Fallin'" and "Unbreakable," as well as lesser-known, newer fare like "Brand New Me" and "Tears Always Win."
Concertgoers had been told a special guest would be joining Keys on stage, and roared with delight when Idan Raichel, the wildly popular Israeli world-music maven, joined her on stage for a one-song mash-up of her "Fallin'" with his chart-busting hit "Mi'ma'amakim."

Jihadist group says it shot rockets at Eilat, aiming at Jewish civilians

Posted: 05 Jul 2013 12:00 PM PDT

From TOI:
A number of loud explosions were heard near the southern resort city of Eilat shortly after 9 p.m. Thursday night.

There were no reports of injuries. Security forces were dispatched to the area to determine the source of the blasts, but their searches yielded nothing suggesting a possible rocket attack.

They resumed searching on Friday morning.

It was not clear if the explosions were the result of missiles being lobbed at the city from the Sinai Peninsula.

Reports differed as to how many blasts there were. Initial reports indicated two explosions, but an Eilat resident told Ynet news that three were heard.
According to El Bashayer Online, a Sinai jihadist group called Ansar Al Quds has taken credit for shooting rockets.

They said that they launched two "Crayfish" rockets crayfish on Thursday night to Eilat, "targeting fuel tanks and a residential area in the city," shooting at "the enemies of God, the Jews, forcing them to flee to shelters thanks to God and his strength, which was sanitized in the Jews' coverage on it and they hid their losses as usual...."

The statement added that "The Jews know that our attacks on them and our jihad will not stop any circumstance. In the situation in Egypt, where the Jews have the upper hand in inciting them, will not stop the the wheel Jihad ever."

Jordan increasing censorship of news

Posted: 05 Jul 2013 10:30 AM PDT

From AFP:
The Jordanian government said on Tuesday that it had blocked 254 unlicensed news websites, 16 of them in the previous two days, using powers under a 2012 law criticized as a threat to freedom of expression.

Fayez Shawabkeh, head of the Press and Publication Department said: "16 local news websites were blocked in the past two days after carefully examining their situation.

"This brings the total number of sites the PPD blocked recently to 254, while 111 sites have obtained licenses."

On June 3, authorities said they would block nearly 300 out of 400 local news websites "for failing to obtain the necessary licensing," under last year's controversial legislation.

The law gave the government powers to regulate "electronic publications," requiring them to register with the PPD and obtain a license.

It stipulates that the chief editors of news websites must be members of the Jordan Press Association, giving the government the right to censor content and hold journalists liable for comments posted on webpages.

The PPD has insisted "the decision does not seek to restrict freedoms," and that "the objective is to organize the work of these websites."

Journalists accuse the government of seeking to control who can publish news.

One of the sites blocked in the past two days is 7iber, Arabic for "ink."

Its editor, Lina Ejeilat, told AFP 7iber was an interactive website that published reports and features from contributors, and said it should not be covered by the legislation.

"We are a blog and definitely not a news website," she said.

Shawabkeh disagreed, saying that "7iber is registered at the trade and industry ministry as a news website and posts news and political analyses about Jordan, which means that the law applies to it."

The PPD's decision drew renewed criticism of Jordan from international human rights watchdogs, as well as from journalists, activists and the main opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood, who saw it as an attempt to impose censorship.

7/05 Links Part 1: Israel’s reviled strategic wisdom, Fatah calls for the overthrow of Hamas

Posted: 05 Jul 2013 09:00 AM PDT

From Ian:
Caroline Glick: Israel's reviled strategic wisdom
In a Middle East engulfed by civil war, revolution and chronic instability, Israel is the only country at peace. The image of Kerry extolling his success in "narrowing the gaps" between Israel and the Palestinians before he boarded his airplane at Ben-Gurion Airport, as millions assembled to bring down the government of Egypt, is the image of a small, irrelevant America.
And as the anti-American posters in Tahrir Square this week showed, America's self-induced smallness is a tragedy that will harm the region and endanger the US.
As far as Israel is concerned, all we can do is continue what we have been doing, and hope that at some point, the Americans will embrace our sound strategy.
Dore Gold: Kerry and the struggle over the Jordan Valley
Speaking before the U.S. Congress on May 24, 2011, Netanyahu stated that while the precise delineation of Israeli-Palestinian borders must be negotiated, he added: "Israel will not return to the indefensible lines of 1967." Since that time there has been a struggle underway in which both the Israelis and the Palestinians are presenting their diplomatic narratives to Western diplomats, who have been predisposed to accepting the Palestinian narrative on territory and the Israeli narrative on security. This struggle has direct implications for the future of the Jordan Valley.
The U.N.'s Institutional Bias against Israel
It is not just the U.N.'s Human Rights Council that has an institutional bias against Israel, in the form of its infamous Agenda Item 7. Almost every U.N. agency has one or more special agenda items or reports that single out Israel. As a form of widespread bias, the gross and systematic singling out of Israel damages the credibility of the United Nations and calls into question its commitment to the the organization's own principles of equality, universality, and impartiality.
Amnesty calls on Israel to stop 'bullying' activists
This is the "latest in a litany of human rights violations against Nariman Tamimi (aka Shirley Temper's Mother), her family, and her fellow villagers. These arbitrary restrictions should be lifted immediately and the charges should be dropped," said Philip Luther, Middle East and North Africa Director at Amnesty International.
Indy reporter misleads on Israel's security barrier
Of course, Israel's security barrier (mostly consisting of chain link or barbed wire) was built between 'Israeli citizens' and the Palestinians of the West Bank, not just the state's "Jewish citizens and the Palestinians" as McCarthy claims. In addition to the state's roughly six million Jews, Israel is home to 1.3 million Muslims, 155,000 Christians and nearly 130,000 Druze.
What now for Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood?
The Muslim Brotherhood has called for mass protests following Friday prayers and this may provide a window into which direction the wind is blowing. Radical Salafi supporters of deposed president Mohamed Morsi have indicated that violence and terrorism will be their response.
Mohammad Zawahiri, the Egyptian-based brother of al-Qaida leader Ayman Zawahiri, called for the organization to wage a jihad to save Morsi and his Islamist agenda for Egypt, according to a report by Raymond Ibrahim at the Gatestone Institute.

Obama avoids calling Egypt leader's ouster a coup
President Obama said Wednesday that he was deeply concerned about the military overthrow of Egypt's first elected president, although he avoided describing the ouster as a military coup, which would trigger automatic cuts in U.S. aid to a longtime ally that is key to U.S.-backed regional security accords.
Egypt: El Baradei Favored to Head Interim Government

"I thank the Egyptian people for the demonstrations of June 30 that led to Morsi's downfall. I thank you, because you have helped to avenge my father's blood," she said.
UN human rights chief worried over Brotherhood crackdown
The UN's human rights czar expressed worry Friday over the crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, calling for the end of "arbitrary detention" of the Islamist group's members.
High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay also criticized Egypt for failing to "move towards a truly tolerant and inclusive society," and said she was disturbed by the reports of sexual violence on the streets in Egypt.

ZOA Chief: Can't Decide Who's Worse in Syria
Morton Klein, who heads the Zionist Organization of America, tells Arutz Sheva in a special interview that the reason the U.S. is not becoming involved in the Syrian civil war is that it does not know which side is worse than the other.
"We're not sure which side is better," he explained.
Russia Blocks UN Demand for Access to Syrian City
Russia on Thursday blocked a UN Security Council demand that Syria allow immediate access to thousands of civilians trapped by a government offensive on the city of Homs, diplomats said, according to the AFP news agency.
According to the diplomats, Russia's opposition to the statement proposed by council members Australia and Luxembourg was a new sign of a growing international split over the 26-month old conflict.
Seeking to Expand South American Terror Network, Iran Now Targeting Bolivia
Bolivia is not unique. A recent State Department report outlined Iranian efforts across South America. Terrorism expert Matthew Levitt emphasized that the report not only documented Iran's continuing efforts "to expand its presence and bilateral relationships with countries like Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Venezuela," but also the infiltration of "a network of intelligence agents specifically tasked with sponsoring and executing terrorist attacks in the Western Hemisphere."
Pakistan Bankrolls Terrorist Group
Pakistan has just allocated over $4,000,000 for a Center, a "Knowledge Park" and other initiatives for the Islamist parent body of the banned terrorist group that attacked Mumbai, India, in 2008.
The Pakistani provincial government of Punjab included in its budget for fiscal 2013-14 a sum of 61.35 million Pakistani Rupees ($616,000 USD) to fund the largest Center of Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) -- the Islamist parent body of the banned terror organization Laskar-e-Taiba (LeT), which committed the Mumbai attacks.

Egypt's backlash against Hamas begins

Posted: 05 Jul 2013 07:15 AM PDT

Egyptian police closed the Rafah crossing from Gaza today, after attacks on Egyptian army positions this morning. The closings will remain in effect "until further notice."

So far, no "human rights" agency has condemned this clear violation of the rule against collective punishment against Gazans. They seem to only get worked up over one country allegedly doing that.

Palestine Press Agency quotes a German press agency as saying that Egyptian excavators and bulldozers demolished a number of smuggling tunnels on the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt on Thursday. Eyewitnesses saw much earth-moving equipment, alongside a number of armored vehicles of the Egyptian army carrying heavy machine guns.

It looks like Egypt is taking Gaza smuggling seriously, years after Israel rang the alarm.

Also, the Egyptian Attorney General decided to investigate former president Morsi on charges of collaborating with foreign bodies. Which foreign bodies? Hamas! The accusation is that the Muslim Brotherhood collaborated with Hamas in the jailbreaks of many Brotherhood members as the Mubarak regime was falling.

In Gaza itself, Hamas instructed its spokespeople to remain mum on the entire topic of Egypt, afraid that someone will say something that will give Egypt an excuse to further disenfranchise the group. But privately Hamas has been meeting around the clock to watch developments and come up with a strategy on how to handle them. One of the immediate pressing issues is that Hamas was able to get materials from Egypt at the Egyptian subsidized prices, and now they have to pay full price to Israel for the same goods.

Hamas already recently lost its Iranian patron. Losing Egypt could cause Hamas to be unable to pay salaries, and that could make things very interesting in Gaza over the next few months.

Extremist Abbas shows his intransigence in interview

Posted: 05 Jul 2013 05:15 AM PDT

Yet again, Mahmoud Abbas shows his extremism and intransigence in an interview and the Western world
looks the other way.

In an expansive interview in Lebanon's Al-Joumhouria, Abbas reiterated the points he has made many times before - points that ensure that there will never be a Palestinian Arab state unless Israel allows itself to be destroyed.

Abbas reiterated that the so-called "right of return" is "sacred," and he is against resettlement of Palestinian Arabs in other Arab states. He indicated that Israel wanted Syrian refugees who went to Gaza to forfeit the "right" to move to Israel, and he refused (presumably, preferring them to rot in Syria if given the choice.)

He also said that if Jerusalem does not become part of "Palestine" then there will never be peace. He is representing Jerusalem as not just a Palestinian Arab issue but an issue for the entire Islamic and Arab worlds - you know, the people who ignored it when it was under their control.

On the topic of reaching out to American Jews to influence Israel, he stated that he felt that many Jews in America are not supporters of Netanyahu and that Palestinian Arabs "must speak with them in order for them to understand the Arab point of view, and I think that some of them began to understand that Israel is intransigent."

He admitted that the news from Arab countries has put the topic of Palestine on the backburner, but he bragged that even so he got 138 votes in the UN to declare "Palestine" a non-member state.

One bizarre answer he gave, to the question of why he is reluctant to use the word "resistance" in his written statements, is that "my authority as president finished, and I demand to conduct legislative and presidential elections." He seems to run away from questions he would rather not answer by falling back on the fiction that he wants elections, even though he is in the ninth year of his four year term.

When pressed, Abbas said he is against armed resistance, saying "I'm not ready to launch an absurd missile to destroy my country, we are with the peaceful resistance popular." "Popular resistance" includes Molotov cocktails and stones thrown through car windshields. Note again that his objection to terrorism is not moral but practical - because Israel responds with force to being attacked. If he thought he could achieve a state by murdering every Israeli civilian, the implication is that he would have no problem with that.

Abbas denied acting as a dictator. Keep in mind that he did his UN stunt without the backing of the PA and PLO government committees that according to their own laws must approve any moves like that. Not to mention his assaults on freedom of the press and freedom of expression. He said that the best proof that he is not a dictator is that he did not force the "prime minister" to stay on when he resigned. Of course, he appointed him to begin with, the way a dictator would.










While Europe dawdles, Gulf states discuss sanctions against Hizballah

Posted: 05 Jul 2013 02:43 AM PDT

The Daily Star (Lebanon) Monday reported on Monday:
The European Union is unlikely to make a decision on blacklisting Hezbollah for "a least five [or] six months," Italy's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for Development Cooperation Lapo Pistelli said Wednesday. Pistelli spoke to The Daily Star as he rounded out a three-day visit to the country with a brief tour of the National Museum, which included sneak peeks at a selection of exhibits not yet on public display.

The deputy minister listed the debate between member states over evidence of Hezbollah's involvement in a terror attack in Bulgaria in July 2012 as one of the main reasons he believed the organization, or part of it, would not be added to the bloc's terror list in the immediate future.

"At the preliminary discussion in Brussels [earlier this month] there were some arguments raised by the Bulgarian government and the Cypriots about the proofs and evidences [pertaining to] blacklisting the organization ... so it seems to me this decision will require time," Pistelli said.

The EU has come under increasing pressure from the U.S. and some of its members to add Hezbollah, or at least its military wing, to its terror list.

Pistelli described this debate as "very sensitive," and was clear that, regardless of discussions in Europe, Hezbollah is a very "relevant player" in Lebanon and could not be excluded from a "real national unity government."
More details on the opposition within Europe to declaring Hizballah a terrorist organization can be seen here.

While Europe effectively legalizes the terrorist organization, the Gulf Arabs in the region are moving forward with sanctioning it:

Senior Gulf Cooperation Council officials met in Riyadh on Thursday to coordinate sanctions in the six member states against Lebanon's Shiite Hezbollah movement over its support for the Syria regime.

The meeting was "to develop mechanisms to monitor movements, financial transactions and business operations of Hezbollah," said Bahraini deputy interior minister Khaled al-Absi.

The GCC monarchies decided on June 10 to impose sanctions on Hezbollah, targeting residency permits and its financial and business activities in reprisal for the group's armed intervention in Syria.

The GCC comprises Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Of course, it isn't that the Gulf countries are suddenly more sensitive to terror than Europe. They would never sanction Hamas or any other Palestinian terror group.  It is that they are Sunni and they hate Shiites, represented by Hizballah, and the organization's adventurism in Syria is giving them the excuse they want to sanction it.

Even so, it is jarring to see Muslims in the forefront of taking actions against other Muslims while Europeans can't figure out what to do.
