Theater of the absurd

Dear Friends,

 

Four  items caught my attention in today’s newsbag:

 

1.       Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (a.k.a. the terrorist Abu Mazen) accused Israel of trying to “Judaicize” East Jerusalem.  Excuse me!  Why is it that the PA controlled Waqf won’t let Jews even move their lips in case they might pray at the edge of the Temple Mount?  Exactly who is trying to push their religion and wipe out someone else’s?  In which cities in the world is it illegal for the adherents of a particular religion to purchase land or live?  Friends, the answer is not Israel.  I believe that it is only the Arab world (including the Palestinian Authority) that is allowed to practice such racist apartheid practices.

 

2.       And pushing this Palestinian racism with even the most absurd of arguments is the British consulate, which doesn’t seem to have shed its anti-Semitic and pro-Arab tendencies from the days of the British Mandate over Palestine.  In objecting to a Jewish owned hotel venture in East Jerusalem, “The U.K. envoys also expressed concern that construction activity so close to the consulate could lead to an intelligence leak.” I guess they are not worried by Arab neighbours – but being close to Jews might make their limited brains fall out.

 

3.       And at last something sensible. No wonder it didn’t make it to the mainstream media.   

 

Israeli officials took a step on behalf of captive IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, preventing 15 French diplomatic officials accompanied by Jerusalem consular officials from entering Gaza, where they hoped to take part in Bastille Day festivities.

 

A source stated that Israel cannot permit them to celebrate a day of freedom while Gilad Shalit, who also has French citizenship, remains hostage to Hamas terrorists, now in his fourth year of captivity.

 

4.       Who killed Yasser Arafat?  Every good Palestinian can believe his government controlled press.  The Israelis  are responsible for everything bad in the world, no?  Palestinian Media Watch reports that there is new competition for the coveted title of Mr Evil. Seems that PLO leader (and PFLP terrorist) Ahmad Jibril told the secret that everyone has been whispering since Arafat got ill.  He claims concrete evidence that jolly Yasser had AIDS, and that’s what killed him.  The official PA position is, of course that the “cursed [Jewish] apes and pigs” of Israel poisoned Arafat, with permission of the US together with French medical co-conspirators.  Al-Jazeera chimes in with the latest conspiracy theory that Mahmoud Abbas was the perpetrator.  Who cares, you ask?  The interesting thing is that the PA, which has “no power” to stop the racist anti-Jewish, anti-Israel and pro-terror incitement on its state controlled media, was able to immediately ban Al-Jazeera from the Palestinian Authority  airwaves for its incitement against the hard done-by Abu Mazen.

 

Regards,

 

David
