Wish I'd Said That

1. Low-Intensity Warfare

From John Perazzo in Frontpage Magazine.com on the Arab Lobby Network and how it and the lunatic left are using low intensity political correctness warfare to bludgeon the west:

"
As Western civilization faces the threat of a radical Islamic foe that seeks to annihilate it, the collective self-assurance of the Western psyche continues to wither under the relentless, low-grade assault of the political Left. This assault presents itself in the form of constant criticism aimed at America's allegedly vast array of societal defects — with the intent of expunging every last shred of self-respect from the Western mind and heart, and of thereby convincing Western man that his irredeemably sinful culture is unworthy of his defense. The key operatives in this assault are leftwing organizations describing themselves as defenders of such righteous-sounding ideals as “civil liberties,” “human rights,” “peace,” and “social justice.” Allied with them is a growing cabal of pro-Arab, anti-Israel groups that, both jointly and independently, characterize the U.S. and Israel in particular as nations that routinely inflict immense suffering on Arab populations all over the world. By portraying Arabs as victims of American and Israeli transgressions, these groups aim — through their press releases, official statements, publications, and direct actions — to shape public opinion regarding such issues as the war on terror and the Arab-Israeli conflict."

2. Say What?
James Taranto of OpinionJournal.com on how Tzipy Livni and John Kerry seem made for each other:

"
Why is Israel so misunderstood? Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick offers one possible reason, a quote from Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni that, as Glick sarcastically notes, "illustrated at once her unique rhetorical skills and the unmatched analytical acumen she brings to bear today as Israel's chief diplomat." This was Livni's answer to a question about, as Glick put it, "whether she supports moving ahead with Palestinian statehood before the Palestinians end their involvement in terrorism":

"And but yes, I do and I was not talking about jumping or skipping or bypassing some of the phases of the road map, but I do believe that talking with the Palestinians today what are the best steps that we can take and maybe to make some visions or some--what we say the political horizon more concrete if this can help, so this is something that we have to do. But there's a difference and we can distinguish talking with the Palestinians and implementing parts one before the other, and I believe that this is the difference maybe and maybe the kind of misunderstanding that was in the understanding of talking or implementing the phases in a different order."

That's only slightly clearer than John Kerry's explanation for his vote in favor of the Iraq war.*

"The vote is the vote. I voted to authorize. It was the right vote, and the reason I mentioned the threat is that we gave the--we had to give life to the threat. If there wasn't a legitimate threat, Saddam Hussein was not going to allow inspectors in. Now, let me make two points if I may. Ed [Gordon] questioned my answer. The reason I can't tell you to a certainty whether the president misled us is because I don't have any clue what he really knew about it, or whether he was just reading what was put in front of him. And I have no knowledge whether or not this president was in depth--I just don't know that. And that's an honest answer, and there are serious suspicions about the level to which this president really was involved in asking the questions that he should've. With respect to the question of, you know, the vote--let's remember where we were. If there hadn't been a vote, we would never have had inspectors. And if we hadn't voted the way we voted, we would not have been able to have a chance of going to the United Nations and stopping the president, in effect, who already had the votes, and who was obviously asking serious questions about whether or not the Congress was going to be there to enforce the effort to create a threat. So I think we did the right thing. I'm convinced we did."

Sounds like a dialog that only Jackie Mason could understand.

3. Condi: Have I screwed you guys over enough yet?
From the Jerusalem Post: Rice picks up Livni's ideas (Uh-Oh).
"US ambassador to Israel Richard Jones told the Jerusalem Post in an exclusive interview on Tuesday, that US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice "picked up" Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni's ideas about a need to provide a "political horizon" during her recent visit here."

Wow, I just can't wait for the 3-way. Anybody ask Kerry what he thinks of this?

4. B'Teslem, lying about Palestinian causalties? Forging their annual report? I am shocked, shocked!!


5. The secular messiah retread has his privates kicked (by Yediot, no less!!!!)

6. And speaking of having his privates kicked:
Exclusive: Jimmy Carter Interceded on Behalf of Nazi SS Guard.
You know, Jimmy is just not having a good week with 14 people (yes, even Jews) resigning from his board and his book held out to ridicule. Few things could make me happier than seeing this lying Jew-hater exposed for what he is. Click here for the full story.


7. (As long as we're on a roll) Yediot proclaims: West Bank Jews here to stay (really, click here for the full article).
Doesn't a time come when population's size makes relocation talk immoral? (Hey, they're the ones asking the question). They could be on to something here......
