Commentary Magazine - What an amazing (and moral) French Turnaround

Nicolas Sarkozy, JudeophileNoah Pollak -

Have you heard what the French President has been saying lately?

On Wednesday, he declared that “I won’t shake hands with people who refuse to recognize Israel,” a snub directed at Muslim leaders. On the same day he warned that France may join the U.S. and Canada in boycotting the UN’s anti-Israel hatefest (known officially as an “anti-racism conference”) in Durban, South Africa: “France will not allow a repetition of the excesses and abuses of 2001.” (read full article)

The Jewish Chronicle - Methodist storybook indoctrinates children against Israel

By Dexter Van Zile, CAMERA

BOSTON -- Judging from a children’s book published by the United Methodist Church in 2006, the anti-Israel activists in the denomination are fans of St. Francis Xavier, the 16th-century missionary and co-founder of the Jesuits who proclaimed “Give me the children until they are 7 and anyone may have them afterwards.” (read full article)

JPost.com - The Region: Fear and gullibility as weapons

By BARRY RUBIN

Radical forces in the Middle East have rewritten the international rulebook in a way designed so they can't lose. That is, there is no easy response to their behavior and strategies. Even more worrisome is the widespread failure in the West even to realize this is happening.

March 19, 2008

Dear Friend of Israel,
In a recent article about Palestinian rocket fire on Israel, this quote caught my eye: "The groups that are firing the rockets [at Israel] are not fighting a just war… They shoot at Israeli civilians, which is totally unacceptable." (read full article)

When will the West begin to understand that negotiations, summits, "peace partners", etc. -- that all this is futile? That the only language understood in the Middle East is that of strength, force, and violence? That you can ONLY have RELATIVE calm and ONLY for SHORT periods of time, provided you speak loudly and carry a very big stick, which needs to be put to use now and then to remind the enemies that you still mean business?

The only real hope for peace is reformation within Islam, and nothing short of that will do. So brace yourselves, and don't hold your breath ...

You liberals out there -- stop deluding yourselves and believing in the fairy tales of your own creation -- the enemy is NOT at all like you, for they do not value life. How do you prevent someone who doesn't care for life from killing you? You have to kill him first.

Harsh, yes, but it's better to face reality than to bury yourself in the sand of susicidal self-denial. If you want to die -- go ahead, but do not try to drag me down with you.

Getting off the stump,
