Check the skies for flying porkers: The AP profiles Israeli peace moves toward Iran. Of course, being the AP, they tell you this:

Before the revolution, Israel and Iran were close allies. Some 100,000 Jews of Iranian descent live in Israel today, many with fond memories and still strong ties to friends and relatives in their homeland. An estimated 25,000 Jews still live in Iran.

But they don’t tell you this:

On the eve of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, 80,000 Jews lived in Iran. In the wake of the upheaval, tens of thousands of Jews, especially the wealthy, left the country, leaving behind vast amounts of property.

That second paragraph, of course, is why there is such a large population of Iranian Jews in Israel.

You just can’t stop the haters from making hateful asses of themselves: A columnist in the Las Vegas Review wrote about the special post-Shabbat caucuses in Nevada on Saturday night. She called out the Jew-hate code words (“New York Lawyers”, for one) and accused some of Ron Paul’s followers of being anti-Semitic. In the comments to the article, they prove her right.

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Pull the other one: How can you tell Hassan Nasrallah is lying? His lips are moving.

Iran will not ask Lebanon’s Hezbollah to retaliate if Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities, the leader of the militant group said Tuesday.

Sheik Hassan Nasrallah told thousands of supporters by video link that in case of such an Israeli attack on Iran, his leadership would make a decision about a response. Hezbollah is funded by Iran.

The One Is Not Happy: Shmuel Rosner, no fan of Benjamin Netanyahu’s, points out that Bibi is going to be around for a while yet, perhaps longer than the Obama Administration, which has tried so hard to get him kicked out of office. Cue world’s smallest violin.

And just for kicks and giggles: Ha’aretz is publishing the hacked emails of the Syrian administration. Georgie-Porgie Galloway is seen slobbering over the dictator’s murderous feet in the hopes of keeping his money coming in.

The world ignores Iran’s continuing calls to “wipe Israel off the map”: A modern euphemism for the genocide of the Jews which is pooh-poohed by Iran’s apologists on the left (Juan Cole, for one).

A major American university is hosting a conference to boycott, divest, and sanction Israel, ignoring the fact that the Palestinian BDS movement’s purpose is to ultimately destroy the state of Israel.

One out of five Germans still hate Jews, even as Germany is now hosting the world’s fastest-growing Jewish community. (They’re probably fleeing France and the Nordic nations.)

The Associated Press runs a profile of a wealthy Jew who is a “hard-liner” on Israel contributing millions of dollars to a Republican candidate for president (while never running the same sort of profile on, say, George Soros, who does not like Israel and donates millions to anti-Israel, liberal and Democratic causes).

The coauthor of the most anti-Israel book this side of neo-Nazi circles endorsed an anti-Israel and anti-Semitic book written by a Jewish anti-Semite and then huffed that he hasn’t got an anti-Semitic bone in his body, showing that now anti-Semites get to define anti-Semitism–which means that nothing they do will be defined that way.

Liberal Jews (and liberal non-Jews) are now calling Zionists, or Jews that evince any liking for Israel, it seems, as “Israel-firsters.” And they’re trying to say that there’s not anything wrong with that.

And of course, a trip through the unmoderated comments of any site that mentions Israel or religion will give you doezens of examples of anti-Semitic commenters, alive, well, and thriving in the anonymous world of the internet.

Happy International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Gingrich’s biggest benefactor is a casino mogul, a hardliner on Israel and very, very rich

It has since been changed to one that is a little less overtly anti-Jewish:

Gingrich donor is casino mogul, Israeli hardliner

It is unbelievable grist for the neo-Nazi, Israel-firster, and anti-Zionist mills. It’s ostensible premise is that influence-peddling is back since the Supreme Court threw out donor limits with Citizens United, but the angle is entirely “Ohmigod, scary Jewish billionaire is buying a candidate for his hard-line views on Israel!!”

He’s an ardent supporter of Israel. A megabillionaire casino mogul whose Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) is under federal investigation. And the self-proclaimed “richest Jew in the world.”

Sheldon Adelson is also, far and away, the biggest patron of Newt Gingrich’s surging Republican presidential bid. Adelson and his wife, Miriam, have pumped $10 million into a political action committee backing Gingrich that is run by the former House speaker’s onetime aides. Campaign finance experts say the two $5 million contributions are among the largest known political donations in U.S. history.

No other candidate in the race for president appears to be relying so heavily on the fortune of a single donor. It’s been made possible by last year’s Supreme Court rulings – known as Citizens United – that recast the political landscape by stripping away restrictions on contributions and how outside groups can spend their money.

Watch how the writer manages to take every instance and turn it around on how this one person is using his money and influence to make sure that Newt’s stance on Israel is in line with his own.

Sheldon Adelson is Citizens United come to life.

“The bottom line is that it creates that potential for one person to have far more influence than any one person should have,” said Fred Wertheimer, president of the campaign finance watchdog group Democracy 21.

When any candidate is beholden to a single donor for so much money, Wertheimer said, “it opens the door to corruption and influence peddling.” Wertheimer said the infusion of cash would raise questions about any decision Gingrich would make that touches on gambling, for example. And similar questions could be raised about Gingrich’s Mideast policies.

We are supposed to be calmed by this instance of journalistic objectivity, which assures us that both Newt and Adelson have “hardline” stances on Israel. But still, the insistence that Newt is now bought and paid for by the Zionist Occupational Government (and won’t THAT line get me all kinds of neo-Nazi search hits) is rampant throughout the article.

Friends say Adelson and Gingrich met when Gingrich was House speaker and Adelson was lobbying to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Gingrich backed the legislation and the two bonded over a shared hardline stance on Israel.

In Cocoa, Fla., Gingrich on Wednesday called Adelson “very deeply concerned about the survival of Israel” and the threat of a nuclear Iran. Asked if he had promised Adelson anything, Gingrich replied that he pledged “that I would seek to defend the United States and United States allies.

Yeah, sure. You lousy Israel-firster, you. We know you pledged yourself to Israel’s needs over America’s.

The article also takes a look at what Adelson’s money goes for. Okay, Yad Vashem, cool, but wait–what’s this? Birthright Israel? And a right-wing newspaper that supports Netanyahu? ISRAEL-FIRSTER! ZOG! JEWISH MONEY INFLUENCING THE WORLD!

Last year, Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial in Israel, said it received its largest private donation ever – a $25 million gift – from Adelson. Since 2007, he has donated more than $100 million to Birthright Israel, a group that sends young adult Jews from the United States and other countries on 10-day trips to Israel.

Adelson is an outspoken supporter of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and owns a widely read, right-wing Israeli newspaper, Israel Hayom, which is distributed at no cost throughout Israel and is supportive of Netanyahu.

The hefty donations to Gingrich’s presidential bid aren’t the first checks he’s written to help the former Georgia congressman. He ponied up more than $7 million to help get Gingrich’s conservative political group American Solutions for Winning the Future off the ground.

Some of you may think that I’m exaggerating the subtext of this news article. Maybe just a little bit. But it hits all the chords that anti-Semites have hit over the centuries. It profiles a rich Jew who is using his money to influence the politics of his country to support Israel. He is using his money to get American Jews over to Israel via Birthright Israel, presumably to create a stronger bond between them and Israel. And the candidate is marching to the billionaire’s drum. Witness:

In December, Gingrich proclaimed the Palestinians “an invented people.” Israel’s Haaretz daily reported later that month that Adelson approved of the remarks. And Gingrich has said that one of the first executive orders he would sign if elected president would move the American Embassy to Jerusalem.

This is how modern anti-Semitism works. In the shadows of the mainstream press, with the wink-wink nudge-nudges of innuendo and reading between the lines. Sheldon Adelson has bought and paid for a candidate who is running for president, and it’s clear that the quid pro quo will be Israel. Watch for Andrew Sullivan and his progressive brothers-in-arms to wave this news article like a flag on how Israel is controlling America.

Looks like I won’t be giving up this blog anytime soon. The Jew-haters won’t let me.

I’m not flying again until the TSA is gone.

It’s not anti-Zionism: When an Islamic cleric calls for the death of Jews, and says he was taken out of context after an outcry is raised, well, hey. It’s not just Zionists he’s talking about.

They’re not even trying to hide it anymore: The Iranians are now openly admitting that southern Lebanon is all theirs, and that Hezbullah are their bitches. And Syria, too, where Hezbullah guarded Bashar al-Assad during his recent public outing. Think we’ll have a world outcry about this? Of course not. They’re too busy dumping in Israeli settlers.

And don’t forget to vote this one up.

Surely I can find 200 of my readers to push this reviews out of the five star category. No, it won’t do much. Yes, these are old reviews. But boy, will it piss off the anti-Semites. Especially since it will be Jews doing it, big scary ZOGs that we are.

And pissing off the Jew-haters is always a fun thing to do.

Obama and Islamists, sittin’ in a tree: High-level talks with the Muslim Brotherhood, whose raison d’etre has never changed.

Of course they are: Iran and Hezbollah are sending weapons to Syria to keep Assad in control in spite of the arms embargo. And so are the Russians. Hands up, all of you who are surprised about this. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Really? This is a top news story? Really? I wake up to a classical radio station, which uses NPR news, and this was the 7 a.m. lead news story: A video of four Marines pissed on the bodies of dead Taliban fighters. Sorry, but I can’t bring myself to muster the outrageously outraged outrage that so many are having today. Was it a good thing to do? No. Was it stupid? Unbelievably so, since they’re going to be identified and probably thrown out of the Corps. Does it merit lead story status? Hell, no.

Of course they do: The Iranians are not the only ones blaming Israel for the assassination of their nuclear scientist yesterday. The CSM, never a friend to Israel, wonders if they done it.

If I knew who Katy Perry was, I might care what her father thinks of Jews: So he pulls out the most anti-Semitic phrase in a sermon, then the media backlash begins, and suddenly, he no longer thinks you need to get Jews’ attention with money, but that he’s really, really, really sorry. Daughter must be hurting from the backlash, huh? Is she one of those people who are famous for being famous? Hey, Daddy Perry? Eff you.

They’re trying to kill Jews in the U.S.: A synagogue was fire-bombed. The synagogue is, and looks like, a house. The rabbi was almost killed in his sleep. The molotov cocktail caught his quilt on fire, and his hands were burned putting it out. Oh, and his wife and children were at risk, too. So where was this? Rutherford, NJ. Right near where the Giants play. And oh, yeah–it’s the fourth attack on Bergen county Jews in a month. So you think NJ Muslims are going to stand up and declare this kind of hate unwelcome, the way NJ Jews do when mosques are attacked?

The vice president of the Christian Democratic Party wrote on his Twitter account, “I bet that the Israeli ‘tourist’ that burned Torres del Paine is one of those sent by his State after killing Palestinian children.”

Taunts of “filthy Jew” were reportedly yelled as the suspect was escorted to court.

I’m shocked, how about you? The meeting in Amman between the PA and Israel produced no results. Gee, I wonder if that’s because Israel refuses to accede to the Palestinian “preconditions” (go back to the 1949 Armistice lines, give back Jerusalem, freeze all settlement activity) before negotiating. Watch for the Obama administration to insist Israel must produce “confidence-buiding” measures while requiring nothing of the Palestinians. No, wait. It’s an election year. Watch for Obama to mouth I Heart Israel platitudes.

Countdown to anti-Israel articles on this law in 3, 2, 1: Israel passed a tough anti-illegal immigrant law. Prepare for stories on how heartless Israel won’t allow starving Africans to illegally come and live there. Then compare that to the number of stories on Spain’s reaction to illegal African immigration. (Hint: Take a look at a map and see how close Spain is to Africa. They have a pretty bad illegal immigrant problem.)

Well, that was fast: Yep, the AP is on the case.

Israel’s parliament on Tuesday approved harsh new penalties on illegal migrants and Israelis who help them, passing one of several controversial measures designed to stanch the flood of Africans seeking sanctuary from poverty and conflict.

More on this later.

The Dorktator speaks: And he’s not giving up. I didn’t really think he would. Yes I did. No I didn’t. (I go back and forth on this, can you tell?)

And yet, they’re still going to be used as civilian shields by Hamas: Gazans held a disaster preparedness drill. See title.

So bizarre I don’t know what to think: It isn’t enough that someone created a Lego concentration camp. A museum bought it and will display it. Sorry, but the ick factor is far too high for me. And oh, who bought it? A Polish museum. Shyeah, the Poles are totally over their Jew hatred. Really. Truly.

Sure, cutting the budget for soldiers always works out well: Obama wants to cut half a million troops over next ten years as part of his idea for modernizing the U.S. Armed Forces. While I agree that we do need to make our air and naval forces cutting edge, I think it’s utterly absurd to drop the number of standing troops. Boots on the ground is what did the job in Iraq. There’s no substitute for it.

Islamists who put country before themselves? I’m not sure what to think of this. The Syrian Muslim Brotherhood leadership refused Iran’s offer to make a deal with the Dorktator and join in against their countryment to prop up Assad. Since the Brotherhood is all about helping itself, I suspect they refused to deal because they know a losing situation when they see it. It’s curtains for Assad, I tell you. Curtains.

Ew, Jew cooties! Algerians are rounding up the evil made-in-Israel clothing that they’re finding mixed in with the presumably non-kosher clothing. But worry not, the Algerian inspectors are on the case:

A source told the newspaper “we cannot rule out the possibility that an international ring smuggled the Israeli clothes into the country and that its operatives are being assisted by Algerian vendors based in several districts.”

Gasp! No! An international Israeli clothes smuggling ring! It’s the end of civilization as we know it! Damn those horrible Israelis, wanting to clothe people for profit! Damn them all!

Nu? Two Jews won the World Talking Championship? Two Israeli men won the World Universities Debating Championship. Really, talkative Jews? I had no idea that my people talked so much. None whatsoever. Not at all. Jews? Talky? Oh, come on. Shirley you jest.

Our drone’s better than your drone: If Israel’s drone is so sucky, then howcome Turkey didn’t shoot it down, even though they said they almost shot it down (and I almost one $200 million in the lottery the other week, too). Really? They called up two F-16 jets and couldn’t find it and shoot it down? Ya think maybe they’re–I don’t know–lying? Yeah, me too. Their drone is so much better than Israel’s that it manages to identify fuel smugglers as terrorists and murder dozens of them. But don’t worry, they’re going to pay compensation to the families.

Don’t worry, CAIR (and the NY justice system) is still going to call these hate crimes: The guy who threw molotov cocktails at various Hindu and Islamic buildings in New York is a nutjob who swore he’d get even because the proprietor of the store stopped him from stealing, and the other places wouldn’t let him use their bathrooms. Yeah, that sounds like a Muslim-hating freak to me.

Two! Two! Two nutjobs for the price of one: So that scumbag that was lighting cars on fire in Los Angeles? He did it because his scumbag mother was about to be deported back to Germany for being a thief. He hates America, you see, for having the nerve not to want to keep a thief, who has 19 fraud counts against her in Germany, from becoming an American citizen. Well, now he’s going to spend many years as an American resident in jail before being kicked back to Germany. Like mother, like son.

Oh, there was a primary or something yesterday? Wake me when it’s over. Especially since I have no influence over any but the Virginia primaries.

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood will not recognize Israel under any circumstances and might put the peace treaty with the Jewish state up to a referendum, the movement’s second in command told the Al-Hayat newspaper in an interview that was published Sunday.

Who knew? Not the famous New York Times columnist who had a dinner with one of their spokesliars and declared them moderate.

You know who knew? Barry Rubin. And readers of this blog.

Recognizing signed treaties that bind a nation in the international scene? Feh! That’s for other people, not the Ikwan.

“We will take the proper legal steps in dealing with the peace deal,” he added. “To me, it isn’t binding at all. The people will express their opinion on the matter.”

Of course it isn’t binding. It was made with infidels, and worse yet, with Jews.

Muslim Brotherhood spokesmen, as well as Palestinian guest speakers, made explicit calls for Jihad and for liberating the whole of Palestine. Time and again, a Koran quote vowing that “one day we shall kill all the Jews” was uttered at the site. Meanwhile, businessmen in the crowd were urged to invest funds in Jerusalem in order to prevent the acquisition of land and homes by Jews.

Throughout the event, Muslim Brotherhood activists chanted: “Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, judgment day has come.”

The Islamists are allowing safe haven in Egypt for terrorists to launch attacks on Israel. And slowly but surely tightening their grip in Egypt. The secularists have been beaten down to the point where even they admit their nation has been hijacked by the Islamists and the military.

One of the lone voices in the wilderness is Barry Rubin. If you’re not reading his column regularly, you are not informed about the Middle East. The Islamists are winning, and he’s been telling us that for years.

And Iran just produced a nuclear fuel rod. Joy.
