Right Of Return @ MindSay 
Rachel Neuwirth writes of the absurd demand of the Arab “Right of Return” to homes in Israel proper which were abandoned during the 1948 War in which Arabs attempted to drive Jews into the sea and end Israel before it tangibly become a sovereign nation. Of course that failed and with the odds against the Jews, Israel was victorious. That was the hand of God, i.e. the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; not the god of Mohammed and the lineage he extrapolates from Abraham and Ishmael as told by an angel of light (deception or psychosis) known as Gabriel.
I am glad that Neuwirth has extrapolated the truth of the Arab flight out of Israel, because until this essay the only bold scenario I have read is from the much maligned Masada 2000 website. (It is maligned because of an extremism of a past hit list against anti-Zionist sources.) Regardless of the extremism of the website in anger, its history is spot on. Neuwirth provides a moderate voice (though obviously slanted toward Israel) that enumerates the facts the contradict Arab and Palestinian lies.
The pure fact of the matter the aggressors were expelled from Israel, it was not some sort of ethnic cleansing as Arabs that call themselves Palestinians would have Western suckers believe. Indeed I believe the Arab refugees dubbed Palestinians should be forced out of the West Bank and Gaza and the land merged into sovereign Israel. Let the Arab nations deal with the problem they created in 1948 by repatriating Arabs that were encouraged to flee under the false assumption the heavy odds of superior Arab numbers would obliterate Jews and Israel.
According to yesterday’s Jerusalem Post, there are moves afoot to implement a threshold of 5% - or 6 of 120 seats - for parties to take seats in the Knesset. Although plainly a move to disenfranchise the three sitting Arab parties, or ‘factions’ as the Post is pleased to characterize them, none of which holds more than four seats, it would also eliminate the liberal Meretz party, which currently holds four seats, along with any other small parties, such as the Greens. The article doesn’t specify how the votes from failed parties are to be distributed, but in Turkey, a similar 10% threshold enables the reigning soft Islamist AKP (Justice and Development Party) to govern with a huge 66% majority even though they achieved less than 35% of the popular vote in the 2002 parliamentary elections.
Bloggers sell out!
Yesterday’s NY Times reports on a bunch of high profile bloggers accepting money from politicians. Some of them obviously don’t have very strong principles, because they sold out for a pittance. As for me, would I take money from Clinton? For 20,000 Euros a month, sure, I’d tell her anything she doesn’t want to know.
Jews sans frontiers posted a satirical piece attributed to Gabriel Ash and said to have first appeared on yellowtimes in 2003.
Soldiers should be instructed not to use the Star of David when defacing Palestinian property... the IDF could provide soldiers with defacement kits which include a sticker with the following disclaimer (in colloquial Arabic): "This humiliating act is performed by the State of Israel and has nothing to do with Jewish religion.”
Army Education Officers should be dispatched to all Palestinian villages and neighborhoods. The officers should take advantage of the long curfews which keep the population indoors in order to pass from house to house educating people about the deep historical commitment of the Jewish religion to justice and human rights, the beauty of Jewish holidays, the celebrated self-mocking Jewish humor, and the significant contributions of Jews to world culture. Officers will distribute to Palestinian families …free DVD recordings of "Annie Hall"…
Olmert said Israel will be ready to evacuate occupied lands and settlements in return for "real peace." "You have to stop violence and terror, to recognize our right to live in peace and security by your side and to give up the right of return. That's a right, natural and possible target," he said.
I guess I’m a little slow on the uptake with this one. But then, it’s not really news when an Israeli PM undertakes to ‘evacuate occupied lands and settlements’, note not ‘the occupied lands and settlements’ or ‘all occupied lands and settlements’, in exchange for the Palestinian ‘leadership’ relinquishing a right that is not theirs to negotiate. In other words, once again taking a lesson from Jacob and Esau, or perhaps Tom Sawyer, Israel is making a generous offer to return a small part of what they stole if the Palestinians will give up their birthright.

Iran must be stopped before it is too late.
Help us educate the press and the world – and stop Iran before it gets the nuclear bomb.
Now is the time to take action to secure Israel’s future.
Can you imagine the world without Israel? Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah can. That’s why we’re working to stop them – but we need your help.
As you know, Iran has been identified as the world’s leading state sponsor of international terrorism, funding Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and Hamas.
…educating the media costs money:
· $250 covers the cost to email fully-vetted background information to 10,000 journalists worldwide
· $600 lets us create and email a “breaking news” press release to journalists
· $1200 pays to have one journalist take a 2½ hour helicopter tour over Israel
And educating the media about the real foremost state sponsors of terrorism, which already have nukes? Priceless.
