The United Nations, an antisemitic farce of an organization, is definitely united, in ignoring human rights violations by so-called Palestinians and instead, vociferously blaming Israel for--you name it: disproportionate force, apartheid, arresting Palestinians - whatever they can, while minimizing or ignoring the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers.  Watch and listen at 2:00 when it is said that the boys might have 'gone on holiday.' A plague on all their houses. But I want to end on a positive note, and that is, two suspects in the kidnapping have been named and their photos circulated . May they be caught quickly and dealt with severely, and may the three kidnapped boys be found safe and sound, and returned to their families. Shabbat shalom, and Chodesh Tammuz tov.                                  ...

Abbas made his 'moving' speech before the U. N., and from certain nations, received a standing ovation. Netanyahu spoke, and as far as I am concerned, was too conciliatory and open-armed: 'We are for a two-state solution if you will talk peace and recognize the Jewish State'is basically a summation of what he said. Bibi was much better on Meet The Press on Sunday--he didn't David Gregory "throw him under the bus" the way he was questioning him. Look, think about this: what are the so-called 'Palestinians' ( everyone who lived in the area called 'Palestine' before the State of Israel is a 'Palestinian,' including the Jews) saying? Abbas said in his speech that The core issue here is that the Israeli government refuses to commit to terms of reference for the negotiations that are based on international law and United Nations resolutions, and that it frantically continues to intensify building of settlements on the territory of...

I'm going through Writer's Blog, er, Block.  Have been thinking that since Sept. 6th, I haven't posted a thing.  And things are happening.  Bad Things . And Good Things .  First, the bad--at least, it doesn't bode well for Israel and the free world--that the so-called "Palestinians" are appealing to the U. N. for statehood , G-d help us.  And whom do they choose as their honored spokesman? This peace-loving individual, seen in full here on Palestinian Media Watch  (hat tip, Yael ): Mother of 4 terrorist murderers chosen by the PA to launch statehood campaign by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik The Palestinian Authority chose the mother of 4 terrorist murderers, one of whom killed seven Israeli civilians and attempted to killed twelve others, as the person to launch their statehood campaign with the UN. In a widely publicized event, the PA had Latifa Abu Hmeid lead the procession to the UN offices in Ramallah and to hand over a letter for...

(nablopomo day 30--the last!!) I want to end this Nablopomo for the month of June with a clever little video from No Laughing Matter , illustrating the effectiveness and unity of the United Nations, who are definitely united and effective on one thing, and one thing only: bashing Israel. Maybe things will improve in the month of July.

(nablopomo day 14) The United Nations is sliding into a giant sinkhole,  much like the one in Guatemala recently. Only the U.N. Watch spoke up against Syria's hateful speech repeating the horrible lies of the traditional antisemitic blood libels.  Watch this, and then the speech which was banned by the U. N. Council and ordered "taken out of the records." This is the so-called 'humanitarian' body which 'unites' all the world for peace? The United Nations has actually become an organization of Israel-bashers and promoters of--by ignoring them--"torture, persecution, and violence against women":  In other words, the United Nations is a sick joke, and basically useless. Pay attention to the U. N. response to this speech.

You might have seen this earlier (the date is October 16th), but I only just saw this video today, sent to me in an email by a friend, a mother of a young man who fought with the IDF in Jenin. Read the entire speech at the U.N. Watch site. This is what the world, for some reason, doesn't want to know. Can you figure it out?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. -Sir Winston Churchill. It's about time we had a leader of the state of Israel who doesn't pussyfoot around, doesn't worry about "political correctness," but rather spits out the truth, and tells us his view of the U.N. and their 'Human Rights Commission.' I agree with him on all points, except I am not a proponent of the "two state solution," although I believe he had to say that. My view is, the Arabs have 22 sovereign states, and at least one of them is Palesinian in territory and population. The Jews have only one: Israel. And so it shall remain, one JEWISH state of Israel, eventually between its Biblical borders , forever. Amen, ken yehi ratzon .

I recently began training for a new job, just a few days after my last post—which is why I have not been able to sit down, collect my thoughts, and post anew since the 8 th of the month. The job involves learning an entirely new area for me (a little real estate, business, etc.) — with a little IT work thrown in for good measure, which I already love doing--I guess being married to a geek has rubbed off--all of which is creating interesting new synapses in my brain . By the time I get home, however, I just want to relax, maybe read—not research topics to blog on my s-l-o-w, maxed-out 512 MB of RAM computer (-which sometimes itself decides to relax and freezes , right in the middle of an operation.) In the interim, between my last post and now, I’ve been following the war; last week I downloaded an Israeli toolbar with direct access to all the radio stations, TV, etc. – with even an ‘emergency’ four way split-screen dealie where I can see several TV stations, including Al-...

Where is the United Nations in all this? Where is their "moral compass?"(-as Dennis Prager would say). Oh, here it is; seems they dropped it. I think it's irreparable: 3 January 2009 – Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has voiced his deep concern over Israel's launch of a ground operation into Gaza today, with the Security Council calling an emergency meeting to discuss the situation. Mr. Ban expressed his extreme disappointment to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. “He is convinced and alarmed that this escalation will inevitably increase the already heavy suffering of the affected civilian populations,” according to a statement issued by the Secretary-General''s spokesperson. “He called for an immediate end to the ground operation, and asked that Israel do all possible to ensure the protection of civilians and that humanitarian assistance is able to reach those in need.” All I hear the U.N. spouting is anti-Israel rhetoric. Where is the protest of the ...
