But it’s anti-Zionism! Jordan, the nation that signed a peace treaty with Israel, does not allow Jewish religious symbols. It used to mean no religious Jew could bring t’filin into the country. Now, you can’t even wear a yarmulke. In fact, you can’t even wear a hat with a brim that makes you look Jewish, apparently.This is why there will be no peace with the Arabs. It isn’t anti-Zionism. It’s anti-Semitism.
“What’s really annoying about the whole thing is that together with us at the border crossing was a group of post-army youngsters with IDF training t-shirts who were so obviously Israeli citizens. They didn’t give them any hard time, while with us they insisted.”
Ew, Jew cooties!
England’s little problem: The most popular name for newborn babies in England and Wales in 2009? Mohammed, in its myriad ways of spelling. Next came Oliver. Now, it’s not really a problem until some of those Mohammeds go into the British jihadi mosques and get radicalized. You know, the mosques that the Brits refuse to do anything about, even after 7/7?
Worst. Excuse. Ever. Islamic Jihad says that the reason the Turkish Mavi Mumbleton activists posed in terrorist uniforms and weapons is because PIJ is trying to keep them alive until they get out of Gaza. They’re protecting them, presumably from the IDF. Even better excuse: PIJ says the photos were just “souvenirs.” You know, like the way you can dress up in Wild West costumes when you visit some American tourist spots? Well, this is just like that. Visit Gaza, dress like a terrorist! Oooooh! Scary! Just in time for Halloween.
Israel’s partners in peace—yeah, right: The Palestinians presented Mahmoud Abbas with a stone model of the state of Palestine. It looks exactly like the State of Israel, but without Israel on it. But the Palestinians are the ones who want peace, not the Israelis. Just ask anyone.
The stone model of the state of Palestine, why not? During the term of our last president Abbas the Holocaust denier whom Bush called a man of peace,sanctioned a painting showing all of Israel Palestine http://amerisrael.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/12/05/patv281107map.jpg
ZOA called upon President Bush to http://www.zoa.org/sitedocuments/pressrelease_view.asp?pressreleaseID=273 reign in his man of peace. To this day, Abbas flaunts this poster shamelessly. And we wonder why??

Shall we blame Abbas more than his ORIGINAL enabler? In the end,Abbas does, because he ‘can.’
OK, a bit silly query:
“Next came Oliver.”
Cromwell or Hardy?
.. w.r.t. “England’s Little Problem,” one is reminded that .. 40% of the mosques in Britain fall under the Tablighi Jamaat umbrella. And while not violent or political *per se*, they advance a particularly ARID faith very much of a piece with Christian Fundamentalism. The trouble is that some strains of religion (including Hinduism, from what i’ve read) are more easily twisted than others. for example, Bin Laden – brought up in Wahhabism – thought he was merely putting precept into action (see also, Cromwell’s men slaughtering Catholic women and children at Drogheda). I guess I’m skeptical of any .. power structure that discourages questioning and subtlety in thought.
