Is the Guardian the most bigoted newspaper in Britain?

(The Commentator)On Friday, the Guardian ran a piece in its opinion section by none other than Ismail Haniyeh, leader of Hamas in Gaza and now, it appears, a perfectly acceptable room-mate for the leading voice in Britain’s Liberal-Left.

Direct quotations from the Hamas Charter (source: Yale Law School)
“ Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it" (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).“
“Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious. It needs all sincere efforts. It is a step that inevitably should be followed by other steps. The Movement is but one squadron that should be supported by more and more squadrons from this vast Arab and Islamic world, until the enemy is vanquished and Allah's victory is realised.“
“The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said: ‘The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).“

Let’s not even get into the question of Hamas‘s attitude to gays and women – they support hanging the former and suppressing the latter. (By the way, it’s the gay pride festival today in Tel Aviv, and of course Gaza – no, sorry that last bit was a joke, a sick one, but not as sick as the Guardian editors who commissioned Hamas to write a piece for them.)(MORE Commentator)

YouTube freezes PMW account again

(Palwatch.org) In response to yesterday's PMW video-bulletin which showed the PA Mufti's speech that Muslims' destiny is to kill Jews, YouTube has frozen PMW's account. All PMW videos are working except this one but the account is frozen and PMW cannot upload new videos for the next two weeks.

We have uploaded the video to a different server and it can now again be viewed from PMW's website.
The video that YouTube is calling "inappropriate" exposed the Palestinian Authority Mufti citing the Islamic tradition (Hadith) that anticipates Muslims' killing Jews as a precursor to the Hour of Resurrection. The Jews are also called the "descendants of the apes and pigs" by a Fatah moderator at the event. The following is the text of the video.
Moderator at Fatah ceremony:
"Our war with the descendants of the apes and pigs (i.e., Jews)
is a war of religion and faith.
Long Live Fatah! [I invite you,] our honorable Sheikh."
PA Mufti Muhammad Hussein comes to the podium and says:
"47 years ago the [Fatah] revolution started. Which revolution? The modern revolution of the Palestinian people's history. In fact, Palestine in its entirety is a revolution, since [Caliph] Umar came [to conquer Jerusalem, 637 CE], and continuing today, and until the End of Days. The reliable Hadith (tradition attributed to Muhammad), [found] in the two reliable collections, Bukhari and Muslim, says:
"The Hour [of Resurrection] will not come until you fight the Jews.
The Jew will hide behind stones or trees.
Then the stones or trees will call:
'Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.'
Except the Gharqad tree [which will keep silent]."
Therefore it is no wonder that you see Gharqad [trees]
surrounding the [Israeli] settlements and colonies.."
[PA TV (Fatah), Jan. 9, 2012]

73% of 'Palestinians' believe in the infamous Hadith that calls on Muslims to kill all Jews hiding behind stones and trees

  Pali TV: “The Prophet says: ‘You shall fight the Jews and kill them’”

Book 041, Number 6985:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews. via usc.edu

No Democracy in the world should call people like this anything but murderers. In Israel they call allowing this opinion to be tolerance of religion. This is why I will never go to Israel till all the Muslims are gone.
Only one in three Palestinians (34 percent) accepts two states for two peoples as the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to an intensive, face-to-face survey in Arabic of 1,010 Palestinian adults in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip completed this week by American pollster Stanley Greenberg.

The poll, which has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points, was conducted in partnership with the Beit Sahour-based Palestinian Center for Public Opinion and sponsored by the Israel Project, an international nonprofit organization that provides journalists and leaders with information about the Middle East.

Seventy-two percent backed denying the thousands of years of Jewish history in Jerusalem, 62% supported kidnapping IDF soldiers and holding them hostage, and 53% were in favor or teaching songs about hating Jews in Palestinian schools.

When given a quote from the Hamas Charter about the need for battalions from the Arab and Islamic world to defeat the Jews, 80% agreed. Seventy-three percent agreed with a quote from the charter (and a hadith, or tradition ascribed to the prophet Muhammad) about the need to kill Jews hiding behind stones and trees.

But only 45% said they believed in the charter’s statement that the only solution to the Palestinian problem was jihad.

The survey’s more positive findings included that only 22% supported firing rockets at Israeli cities and citizens and that two-thirds preferred diplomatic engagement over violent “resistance.”

Among Palestinians in general 65% preferred talks and 20% violence. In the West Bank it was 69-28%, and in Gaza, 59- 32%.

Asked whether they backed seeking a Palestinian state unilaterally in the UN, 64% said yes. The number was 57% in the West Bank and 79% in Gaza. Thirty-seven percent said the UN action would bring a Palestinian state closer, 16% said it would set back the establishment of a state, and 44% said it would make no difference.

When asked what Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s top priorities should be, 83% said creating jobs. Just 4% said getting the UN to recognize a Palestinian state, and only 2% said peace talks with Israel.

From the Qur'an : Zionism, but afterwards they Jew hunt

nice try by Dr Al-Husseini, but Islam asks it's members to kill Jews. The later acts of genocide on Jews and others made by prophet Mohammad take priority over earlier writing.

Following are quotes from Qur'an, in which it says that Israel is the Land for Jewish only:

"To Moses We [Allah] gave nine clear signs. Ask the Israelites how he [Moses] first appeared amongst them. Pharoah said to him: 'Moses, I can see that you are bewitched.' 'You know full well,' he [Moses] replied, 'that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth has revealed these visible signs. Pharoah, you are doomed.'"
"Pharoah sought to scare them [the Israelites] out of the land [of Israel]: but We [Allah] drowned him [Pharoah] together with all who were with him. Then We [Allah] said to the Israelites: 'Dwell in this land [the Land of Israel]. When the promise of the hereafter [End of Days] comes to be fulfilled, We [Allah] shall assemble you [the Israelites] all together [in the Land of Israel]."
"We [Allah] have revealed the Qur'an with the truth, and with the truth it has come down. We have sent you [Muhammed] forth only to proclaim good news and to give warning."
[Qur'an, "Night Journey," chapter 17:100-104]

PROFESSOR SHAYKH ABDUL HADI PALAZZI OF ITALY COMMENTS:

God wanted to give Avraham a double blessing, through Ishmael and through Isaac, and ordered that Ishmael's descendents should live in the desert of Arabia and Isaac's in Canaan.
The Qur'an recognizes the Land of Israel as the heritage of the Jews and it explains that, before the Last Judgment, Jews will return to dwell there. This prophecy has already been fulfilled.

THE LAND OF ISRAEL IN QUR'ANIC EXEGESIS
The fundamentalist Muslim program to use Islam as an instrument for political warfare against Jews finds a major obstacle in the Qur'an itself. Both the Bible and the Qur'an state quite clearly that the right of the Israelites to the Land of Israel does not depend on conquest and colonization. This right flows from the will of almighty God Himself.
Both the Jewish and Islamic Scriptures teach that God, through His chosen servant Moses, decided to free the offspring of Jacob from slavery in Egypt and to constitute them as heirs of the Promised Land. Whoever claims that Jewish sovereignty over the Land of Israel is something new and rooted in human politics denies divine revelation and divine prophecy as explicitly expressed in our Holy Books (the Bible and Koran).
The Qur'an relates the words by which Moses ordered the Israelites to conquer the Land:

"And [remember] when Moses said to his people: 'O my people, call in remembrance the favour of God unto you, when he produced prophets among you, made you kings, and gave to you what He had not given to any other among the peoples. O my people, enter the Holy Land which God has assigned unto you, and turn not back ignominiously, for then will ye be overthrown, to your own ruin.'" [Qur'an 5:20-21]
Moreover - and those who try to use Islam as a weapon against Israel always conveniently ignore this point - the Holy Qur'an explicitly refers to the return of the Jews to the Land of Israel before the Last Judgment - where it says: "And thereafter We [Allah] said to the Children of Israel: 'Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd.'" [Qur'an 17:104]

Therefore, from an Islamic point of view, there is NO fundamental reason which prohibits Muslims from recognizing Israel as a friendly State.
Sheikh Palazzi says:

"PLO documents can in no way be regarded as Islamic. The PLO leaders are a gang of criminals and thieves, and Arabs will be the main victims of any supposed "Palestinian State" under their leadership.
"I do not believe that Islam is the factor preventing normalization between Arabs and the State of Israel. The real problem is that members of the ruling classes in Arab countries believe their authority and power would be threatned by democracy, modernization, and education in the Arab world. They use a distorted interpretation of Islam as a political tool, and unfortunately the majority of uneducated Arabs believe their poisonous propaganda.
"We read:

"...They would not follow thy direction of prayer (qiblah), nor art thou to follow their direction of prayer; nor indeed will they follow each other's direction of prayer..." (Koran 2:145)

"All Qur'anic commentators explain that "thy qiblah" [direction of prayer for Muslims] is clearly the Ka'bah of Mecca, while "their qiblah" [direction of prayer for Jews] refers to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
"To quote only one of the most important Muslim commentators, we read in Qadn Baydawn's Commentary:

"Verily, in their prayers Jews orientate themselves toward the Rock (sakhrah), while Christians orientate themselves eastwards..." ( M. Shaykh Zadeh Hashiyaah 'ali Tafsir al-Qadn al-Baydawn (Istanbul 1979), Vol. 1, p. 456)

"In complete opposition to what "Islamic" fundamentalists continuously claim, the Book of Islam [the Qur'an] - as we have just now seen - recognizes Jerusalem as the Jewish direction of prayer.
"Some Muslim commentators also quote the Book of Daniel (Daniel 6:10) as a proof for this.
"After reviewing the relevant Qur'anic passages concerning this matter, I conclude that, as no one denies Muslims complete sovereignty over Mecca, from an Islamic point of view - despite opposing, groundless claims - there is no reason for Muslims to deny the State of Israel - which is a JEWISH state - complete sovereignty over Jerusalem."

Dr Al-Husseini is a British imam who teaches a course on the Koran as part of interfaith studies at the Leo Baeck College, the Progressive rabbinic college in Finchley, north London. One of the texts he has taught is the following verse in the Koran (5:21), "O my people! Enter the Holy Land which God has decreed for you, and turn back on your heels otherwise you will be overturned as losers."

the Jews are only to be gathered into Israel for slaughter in Islam.

what is it with these trees then if Islam has so much PEACE? If building homes for Jews is an atrocity like Obama and his ass hat's in Washington think,imagine what a tree is perceived to do for a Jew: "The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the  come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (a certain kind of  Jews."  (related by al-Bukhari and Muslim).    via ummah.com 

Palestine Against Trees?

Palestine on an institutional level is more interested in burning people and the land of Israel down then actually saving it:

More than a year ago, I reported that the Fatah was upset over a donation of 3,000 trees by the Jewish National Fund to the new 'Palestinian' city of Rawabi (you know - the one that is boycotting 'settlement' products and labor). 

Fatah wasn't upset about taking the donation - only that it had been publicized. I wrote that I was upset that the Jewish National Fund was donating trees to the 'Palestinians' at all.  Uri Davis, a Jew who is a member of the 'Palestine National Council' (we have all types here), has now criticized the 'Palestinian Authority' for accepting the trees. He's now calling Rawabi a 'Zionist project.'

If building homes for Jews is an atrocity like Obama and his ass hat's in Washington think,imagine what a tree is perceived to do for a Jew: 
Salaam, Came across something interesting. Was talking to someone and they said that the Jews are planting a certain type of tree all over Israel.  It reminded me of this Hadith:  "The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews

Makes one wonder how Abu Mazen could have made the argument for global warming at the U.N. and the rest of us did not call him out on his bullshit.  I notice Al Gore was quiet on this issue

One Makes Peace with a Former Enemy not an Enemy

Pipes makes some observations that are very good:

Rabin's mistake was simple and profound: One cannot "make peace with one's enemy," as he imagined. Rather, one makes peace with one's former enemy. Peace nearly always requires one side in a conflict to be defeated and thus give up its goals.

Wars end not through goodwill but through victory. "Let your great object [in war] be victory" observed Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese strategist. "War is an act of violence to compel the enemy to fulfill our will," wrote his nineteenth-century Prussian successor, Karl von Clausewitz in 1832. Douglas MacArthur observed in 1951 that in "war, there is no substitute for victory."

Technological advancement has not altered this insight. Fighting either continues or potentially can resume so long as both sides hope to achieve their war goals. Victory consists of imposing one's will on the enemy, compelling him to give up his war ambitions. Wars typically end when one side gives up hope, when its will to fight has been crushed.

Defeat, one might think, usually follows on devastating battlefield losses, as was the case of the Axis in 1945. But that has rarely occurred during the past sixty years. Battlefield losses by the Arab states to Israel in 1948-82, by North Korea in 1953, by Saddam Hussein in 1991, and by Iraqi Sunnis in 2003 did not translate into despair and surrender. Morale and will matter more these days. Although they out-manned and out-gunned their foes, the French gave up in Algeria, the Americans in Vietnam, and the Soviets in Afghanistan. The Cold War ended, notably, with barely a fatality. Crushing the enemy's will to fight, then, does not necessarily mean crushing the enemy.

via danielpipes.org

but then I question this aspect of what he is saying:

In place of victory, Israelis developed an imaginative array of approaches to manage the conflict:

• Territorial compromise: Yitzhak Rabin (and the Oslo process).
• Develop the Palestinian economy: Shimon Peres (and the Oslo process).
• Unilateralism (build a wall, withdraw from Gaza): Ariel Sharon, Ehud Olmert, and the Kadima party.
• Lease the land under Israeli towns on the West Bank for 99 years: Amir Peretz and the Labor Party.
• Encourage the Palestinians to develop good government: Natan Sharansky (and George W. Bush).
• Territorial retreat: Israel's Left.
• Exclude disloyal Palestinians from Israeli citizenship: Avigdor Lieberman.
• Offer Jordan as Palestine: elements of Israel's Right.
• Expel Palestinians from lands controlled by Israel: Meir Kahane.

Contradictory in spirit and mutually exclusive as they are, these approaches all aim to finesse war rather than win it. Not one of them addresses the need to break the Palestinian will to fight. Just as the Oslo negotiations failed, I predict that so too will every Israeli scheme that avoids the hard work of winning.

via danielpipes.org

I would argue that "Exclude disloyal Palestinians from Israeli citizenship: Avigdor Lieberman." and "Expel Palestinians from lands controlled by Israel: Meir Kahane." would break the wills of Palestine very well. but Daniel Pipes is right that we need to break their will. I don't think we will break wills by allowing people who kill Jews hiding behind Gharqad trees to live with us.

as a clear policy in my opinion all governments around the world with Islamic populations should ask these citizens what they believe. If there is evidence that they believe that they can kill Jews behind trees or murder converts, then the easy solution would be to deport them. If Israel would do this very Democratic practice of protecting it’s citizens from hate all of this would be conjecture. If they mean to kill others because of what they believe then they do not belong as citizens. of course we understand that part of Islamic law allows these people to lie. For this reason you just find evidence like any other murder plot. If Israel had been applying this law from the start then there would be no more conflict. What country would deny a people the right to not be murdered? Perhaps Europe and the West should also take note that there is a very fair way to deal with hate.

We’re Making a Nuke Pact With THEM?!: US Giving Jordanian Palis Nuke Tech

Think how many great Chess games are won by sacrificing a powerful piece on the board. It is laughable that Obama is making such a linear argument
I was up in arms about the Bush Administration push to share our nuclear technology and nuclear security info with the United Arab Emirates. Now, Barack Hussein Obama wants to do the same with Palestinian-dominated Jordan. It’s the same difference . . . and probably even worse.

Now, you might say, “Well, Jordan is a moderate Muslim nation, our ally, and we’re friendly with King Abdullah.” Um, think again. Jordan is a HOTBED of Islamic terrorism and extremism.
Jordan is where a lot of Al-Qaeda and Palestinian Islamic terrorism is planned and based. The list is a Who’s Who: Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi . . . a Palestinian from Zarqa, Jordan; Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal Al-Balawi . . . a Palestinian, who hung out in Jordan, and recently blew up eight men at a CIA base, including seven CIA operatives. And the list goes on and on and on. Plus, there are all those Al-Qaeda bombings in Jordan, like the homicide bombing at a wedding.
Don’t forget that roughly 90% or more of Jordanians are actually Palestinian Muslims . . . Palestinian Muslims who fomented the violent riots that resulted in 10,000 of them being killed in Black September in 1970, when they had an uprising against King Hussein and tried for the umpteenth time to assassinate him. And poll after poll after poll shows that Jordan is among the most anti-American, pro-Bin Laden, pro-homicide bombing countries. There is very little difference between much of Jordan and Gaza, and in fact, Jordan is often used as a base for weaponry and supplies for terrorism against Israel launched from Gaza.
And with a majority of Palestinian subjects ruled by a minority Hashemite king, Jordan isn’t all that stable. Ultimately, it could be taken over by Palestinians and is actually the real Palestinian State. If that happens, guess whose nuke info will be in Palestinian terrorist hands? Ours, that’s whose. Jordan recently discovered uranium ore, and will develop nuclear weapons that could ultimately be very easily used against its neighbor, Israel.
And yet we are gonna share our nukes and nuke technology with them? Pure lunacy to do so.
More:

Jordan is in advanced talks with the Obama administration to conclude a civilian nuclear-cooperation agreement with the U.S., according to Jordanian and U.S. officials.

Successful completion of the negotiations would make Jordan the second Arab state in less than a year, following the United Arab Emirates, to secure nuclear assistance from Washington. Any pact would constitute an international treaty and need the approval of Congress.
The talks come as Iran is accelerating its production of nuclear fuel, raising the prospect of an expanding nuclear-arms race in the Middle East.
An accord with King Abdullah II’s government in Amman would allow U.S. firms to transfer nuclear equipment, fuel and expertise to Jordan, which is one of only two Arab countries to have signed a peace agreement with Israel.
President Barack Obama has pledged to assist developing nations in pursuing civilian nuclear-power programs in exchange for guarantees they won’t seek to produce atomic bombs.

Yeah, good luck with enforcing that. Idiocy.

U.S. officials cite the cooperation agreement signed with the U.A.E. last year as a model for the peaceful development of nuclear power. Under the deal, Abu Dhabi provided assurances it won’t seek to enrich uranium on its soil. The technologies required to process uranium ore into nuclear fuel also can be used to produce weapons-grade materials.

Absurd. Meanwhile, the UAE continues to be the shipping point of nuke technology and components to Iran. Those assurances are a bunch of camel dung.

A potential stumbling block in the Jordan-U.S. deliberations, according to participants, is whether Amman will follow the U.A.E.’s lead and provide guarantees that it won’t enrich uranium domestically. The U.A.E., under the terms of its pact with Washington, could demand a renegotiation if another Middle Eastern country secures a nuclear-cooperation agreement with the U.S. under terms more favorable than Abu Dhabi’s.
Jordan’s agreement could face hurdles in Congress if Amman doesn’t approve a zero-enrichment clause. “If Jordan wants to enrich … then the U.A.E. would also have the right to renegotiate,” said a congressional aide working on nuclear issues. “This situation threatens to touch off a lot of regional tension, and we would oppose.”

PUH-LEEZE. King Abdullah–a Napoleonic short man, forced to share a border with tough Jews who have the juice–wants the juice, too. He’s going to develop nuclear weapons, period. Any “assurances” to the contrary are less valuable than soggy falafel. And ultimately, those nukes will be in the wrong hands. Sooner or later, the Palestinians will take over Jordan. Maybe not in five or ten years, but ultimately. And then, they’ll have nukes.

Jordanian officials have stressed publicly the peaceful nature of their nuclear program and said Amman is willing to ship its substantial uranium-ore deposits to third countries for processing into nuclear fuels. Jordan is also coordinating closely with the United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, to put security safeguards in place.

Yeah, right. The IAEA? You trust Mohammed El-Baradei and his ilk to stop Jordan from getting nukes and using ‘em against Israel? Then, I have some land in the Jordan River to sell you.
And here’s the money quote:

Still, Jordan is wary of cutting a deal with the U.S. that would surrender its rights to enrich under terms of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Like other Middle Eastern countries, Jordan doesn’t want to undermine a pre-existing multilateral treaty.
“We’re confident we can complete the agreement in the near term,” said Jordan’s ambassador to Washington, Prince Zeid Ra’ad Zeid Al-Hussein.

Translation from Arablish to English: We’re confident we can sign a worthless piece of baloney with the stupid Yankees, soon. And then it’s on to ultimately microwaving the Jews. Soon, Eilat will be ours.

Jordan sought to complete the nuclear-cooperation agreement with the Bush administration in 2008, but ran out of time, according to officials involved in the talks. The Obama administration called for a renegotiation of the pact to insert assurances outlined in the U.A.E.’s deal.

Like “The Who” said: New boss same as the old boss. Unfortunately, we continue to get fooled again.

The State Department’s top official on nonproliferation issues, Undersecretary Ellen Tauscher, visited Amman in December to discuss the agreement, U.S. and Jordanian officials said. Jordanian negotiators are expected in Washington in the coming months to resume the discussions.
A spokesman for Ms. Tauscher declined to discuss the status of the talks Tuesday. “We continue to work with our Jordanian colleagues to conclude an…agreement,” the official said.

Translation: a lefty career politico had a nice exotic vacation sipping fruit drinks and eating halal shawarmeh at the king’s desert oasis, while she engaged in academic double-speak with her Arabic buddies and negotiated the giveaway of America’s nuclear secrets.

King Abdullah announced in 2007 a program to develop nuclear technologies as a means to secure Jordan’s energy independence. Jordan imports virtually all of its petroleum supplies from neighboring Arab states, and the country is facing severe water shortages. Jordan also has a rapidly growing population that has been swollen by an influx of Iraqi refugees since the U.S.’s 2003 toppling of Saddam Hussein.

Um, yeah, PALESTINIAN Iraqi refugees. That’s who they are. They were protected by Saddam, and when he went down, they came to Jordan. “Energy independence,” my butt. This is all about developing nuclear weapons.
Another money quote:

Amman is hoping to use its vast supplies of recently discovered uranium ore to fuel a clutch of nuclear reactors by the end of this decade. Jordan’s government also seeks to use the uranium to power desalination plants that can produce potable water from the sea.
“Jordan is 96% dependent on importing petroleum,” said Prince Zeid. “Our uranium assets give us the hope that we won’t be entirely energy dependent on other nations in the future.”

Yup, they have the uranium. And now Uncle Sam will help ‘em develop it into a way to drive Israel (and even America) to doomsday.
Brilliant. Can you imagine us giving our nuke tech to Mussolini? The Albanian SS Unit? Same difference here.
Alhamdillullah [Praise allah]. America is even more stupid than we thought.

my comment:

I’d agree that it would be bad for the people who live in Jordan to bomb Israel with a nuke. This logic fails, but giving Islamic governments credit for logical thinking has been the mistake of Washington for a while now.
See Barry Rubin’s post on “That “Cost-Benefit” Thing: How U.S. Intelligence Assessments Misunderstand Iran and Lots More in the Middle East:” http://rubinreports.blogspot.com/2010/02/that-cost-benefit-thing-how-us.html
Remember that King Al Hussein’s family isn’t really from Jordan… and Jordan isn’t Jordan but East Palestine British Mandate. He’s an Arabian who was rewarded the territory by the British. Al Hussein's familiy is interested in Mecca and Medina. Jerusalem Abdullah would gladly destroy if it killed a Jewish state and it’s Gorquat trees. Don’t buy the line that he thinks the region is holy.
As for a regime change to the people which are mostly Palestinian… Debbie is right on. This is suicide. The only argument I might of had is these countries are going to go nuclear anyway and it is better to have them loyal… but that would be if these countries could be loyal. Essentially Obama is saying we can’t contain their advancement now and it is better to create a history of cooperation with our own suicide. I fail to see the logic in assisting our own suicide. If Jordan really wanted a friendly relationship they would build one with nuclear Israel. They are after all the same territory.

Obama Freeze

Calls for a freeze on Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria - while Arab construction, which far exceeds Jewish development, continues unfettered - are clearly biased and by itself a violation of international law.

...If the West Bank and Gaza were de jure part of the British Mandate, and if the Mandate borders [article 25] are the last legal document concerning this territory; and if Jews were forcibly expelled from the West Bank and Gaza in 1948 during a war of aggression aimed at them - then these Territories must be considered disputed Territories, at the least.

Your Tax Dollars Hard @ Work: Or did you think the Pal’s are paying for this?

Once again, youtube is protecting you from knowing too much: Even more telling than the genocidal lunacy of this ranting monkey is the fact that the video has been removed for “terms of service violation.”

But we got more, much more. You know that, that’s why you read WoJ:
Evidence that the genocidal hadith, in which Muhammad says that in the end times Muslims will hunt down Jews and murder them, is taken seriously — and that Mahmoud Abbas was lying about what goes on in Palestinian mosques.

“PATV sermon: ‘Jews are enemies of Allah and humanity – Kill them,” by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik for Palestinian Media Watch, February 1: Here is the transcript from Jihad Watch>>>
Since the video has been removed, we replaced it with this one:

The Jews are the Enemies of Muslims Regardless of the Occupation of Palestine; ‘Believe That We Will Fight, Defeat, and Annihilate Them, Until Not a Single Jew Remains on the Face of the Earth’   MEMRI

Israel wiped off the globe, again:

(IsraelNN.com) American Jewish protesters have convinced Target stores to recall a mini-globe that wiped Israel off the map and instead described the land as “Palestine.” Target apologized and said it had no intention “to offend any of our guests.”

Jews rallied at Target stores in New York after discovering that the mini-globe refers to the Land of Israel as “Palestine.” “We’re fighting [a] global war on terrorism, and in this global war we have to ‘target’ the people who are coming against us,” protest leader Rabbi Gary Moskowitz told NBC New York.  Jews Protests ‘on Target’ as Stores Recall ‘Palestine’ Globe

Here’s the transcript from the video removed from youtube:

‘Jews are enemies of Allah and humanity – Kill them!’

A sermon calling for the genocide of Jews was broadcast Friday by PA TV, which is under the control of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. The speech called the Jews the enemies of God and humanity, and compared Jews to Nazis.In a recent interview with the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Abbas proudly declared that there is no more incitement in the mosques:
“They [Israel] said there is a problem with incitement in speeches in mosques
during Friday prayers. Today there is no more incitement at any mosque,” he
[Abbas] said.” [Haaretz, Dec. 16, 2009]
The following is the transcript of excerpts of the hate speech in a mosque broadcast on PA TV:
[...] “The Jews, the enemies of Allah and of His Messenger, the enemies of Allah and of His Messenger! Enemies of humanity in general, and of Palestinians in particular – they wage war against us using all kinds of crimes, and as you see – even the mosques are not spared their racism…
“Oh Muslims! The Jews are the Jews. The Jews are the Jews. Even if donkeys would cease to bray, dogs cease to bark, wolves cease to howl and snakes to bite, the Jews would not cease to harbor hatred towards Muslims. The Prophet said that if two Jews would be alone with a Muslim, they would think only of killing him. Oh Muslims! This land will be liberated, these holy places and these mosques will be liberated, only by means of a return to the Quran and when all Muslims will be willing to be Jihad Fighters for the sake of Allah and for the sake of supporting Palestine, the Palestinian people, the Palestinian land, and the holy places in Palestine. The Prophet says: ‘You shall fight the Jews and kill them, until the tree and the stone will speak and say: ‘Oh Muslim, Oh servant of Allah’ – the tree and the stone will not say, ‘Oh Arab,’ they will say, ‘Oh Muslim’. And they will not say, ‘Where are the millions?’ and will not say, ‘Where is the Arab nation?’ Rather, they will say, ‘Oh Muslim, Oh servant of Allah – there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’ Except for the Gharqad tree [tree mentioned in the Quran - Ed.], which is the tree of the Jews. Thus, this land will be liberated only by means of Jihad…”
[PA TV (Fatah), Jan. 29, 2010]

Actually, the Gharqad tree is not in the Qur’an, but the Hadith.

Rewriting history – Jesus was a “Muslim Pali Muslim”

The Muslim Jesus is a Killer

Jews as “Christ-Killers” in Islam

Andrew Bostom
The gulf between modern Muslim and Christian teachings with regard to the “Christ-killer” allegation against the Jews couldn’t be wider.

Lenny Bruce often confronted the deicide or “Christ-killer” allegation in his bold pre-Vatican II act. The comedian would relate how a beleaguered Jew put a note in his cellar, where it could easily be found, to absolve all other Jews. It said: “I did it. Morty.” For weeks, the American media has been inundated with apoplectic diatribes surrounding the unproven, (soon to be disproven?) potential impact of Mel Gibson’s recently released, “The Passion of The Christ” on reviving this now heretical allegation, forty years after Vatican II. Curiously ignored in this overheated discussion is the openly professed, orthodox theological view of Islam and Muslims that the Jews themselves (ala Morty?),  claimed to have killed Christ.
Specifically, Quran 4:157-158 iterates,
“That they [i.e., the Jews] said in boast, “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah”;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not…Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise…
Ibn Kathir (d. 1373), a pre-eminent Muslim historian, theologian, and Qur’anic commentator, provides this elaboration of Qur’an 4:157-158, which emphasizes the Jews overall perfidy, especially their gloating (but unknowingly “false”) claim to have killed Jesus:
“When Allah sent Isa (Jesus) with proofs and guidance, the Jews — may Allah’s curses, anger, torment, and punishment be upon them – envied him because of his prophethood and obvious miracles…the Jews defied him…and tried their best to harm him. Allah’s Prophet Isa (Jesus) could not live in any one city for long and he had to travel often with his mother…Even so, the Jews were not satisfied, and they went to the King of Damascus at that time a Greek polytheist who worshipped stars. They told him there was a man…misguiding and dividing the people in Jerusalem and stirring unrest among the king’s subjects. The king became angry and wrote to his deputy in Jerusalem to arrest the rebel leader, stop him from causing unrest, crucify him and make him wear a crown of thorns. When the king’s deputy in Jersusalem received these orders, he went with some Jews to the house that Isa (Jesus) was residing in, and he was with twelve, thirteen, or seventeen of his companions. That day was a Friday, in the evening. They surrounded Isa (Jesus) in the house, and when he felt that they would soon enter the house or that he would sooner or later have to leave it, he said to his companions, ‘Who volunteers to be made to look like me, for which he will be my companion in Paradise?’A young man volunteered, but Isa (Jesus)  thought that he was too young. He asked the question a second time and third time, each time the young man volunteering, prompting Isa (Jesus) to say, ‘Well, then you will be that man.’ Allah made the young man look exactly like Isa (Jesus), while a hole opened  in the roof of the house, and Isa (Jesus) was made to sleep and ascended to heaven while asleep…When Isa (Jesus) ascended, those who were in the house came out. When those surrounding the house saw the man who looked like Isa (Jesus), they thought that he was Isa (Jesus). So they took him at night, crucified him and placed a crown of thorns on his head. The Jews boasted that they killed Isa (Jesus) and some Christians accepted their false claim due to their ignorance and lack of reason.
In his commentary on the related Qur’anic verse 4:159,
“And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them.”
Ibn Kathir elucidates the Islamic version of the “Resurrection” from the hadith (oral tradition recording Muhammad’s words and actions) in which Isa (Jesus), who is merely a Muslim prophet preaching Islam, returns to “break the cross, kill the pig, and banish the jizyah [Qur’anic poll-tax signifying a non-Muslims subjugation under Islamic rule]  and call all the people to Islam.”
It is critically important to understand that all the essential themes of Ibn Kathir’s narrative regarding the Crucifixion are reiterated in the authoritative contemporary (February 1991 English edition) manual of Islamic Law (‘Umdat al-salik wa’uddat al-nasik), “The Reliance of the Traveller,” which is certified by Cairo’s distinguished Al-Azhar University. In addition, “Reliance of the Traveller” reaffirms the accepted interpretation of Isa’s (Jesus’) return as described in the Qur’an andhadith:
“(T)he time and place for  [the poll tax] is before the final descent of Jesus…After his final coming, nothing but Islam will be accepted from them, for taking the poll tax is only effective until Jesus’ descent…
The modern pronouncements and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church stand in stark relief. For example, Professor Phillip Cunningham (in, “Education for Shalom: Religion Textbooks and the Enhancement of the Catholic-Jewish Relationship,” 1995, p. 39) summarized the principal features of the Second Vatican Council’s “Declaration of the Relationship of The Church to Non-Christian Religions” (Nostre Aetate), issued in 1965, as follows:
“Nostre Aetate rejected key elements of the ancient anti-Jewish tradition. ‘The Jews’ were not guilty of the crucifixion, had not been renounced by God, were not under a wandering curse, and their covenantal bond with God endured.”
Furthermore, despite the fact that Islam categorically rejects the Gospels’ account of the Crucifixion, large segments of the Muslim intelligentsia were infuriated by theNostre Aetate declaration rejecting the charge of deicide against the Jewish people. According to prominent dhimmi cleric advocates of the Islamic viewpoint, such as Youakim Moubarac (in, L’Islam et le Dialogue Islamo-Chretien, Pentalogie Islamo-Chretienne, 1972-1973.), Muslim protestations “against the disculpation of the Jewish people” were lodged in “a perfectly authentic pursuit” of the Qur’an “ for the honor of God and the Virgin.” Moubarac added that Jews were “the principal agent of an entire sinful mankind [and] …blame cannot be placed on this mankind for a deed for which its prime author is absolved.” The historian Bat Ye’or has noted bluntly that the sentiments expressed by Moubarac and his ilk reflect an “Islamic and Christian anti-Judaism [which] mutually strengthened each other in order to torpedo Judeo-Christian rapprochement.”
As a Jew, even an admittedly very secular one, it has been quite reassuring to see the preponderance of devout American Christians fully prepared and willing to mollify any potentially anti-Semitic (especially deicidal) motifs in “The Passion of The Christ,” due in no small part to The Church’s sincere modern teachings. There is no remotely comparable progressive strain evident in the Islamic world. Muslim clerics and regimes, especially in the Near East, vehemently opposed, and continue to oppose, the Vatican II/ Nostre Aetate renunciation of the deicide allegation against Jews. Moreover, basic Islamic theology regarding the deicide allegation, and its ugly related politics, are barely known in the West, due to a combination of profound ignorance, and deliberate, cynical obfuscation. The chasm between modern Muslim and Christian teachings with regard to the “deicide/Christ-killer” allegation against the Jews, as well as the overall conception of Jesus, couldn’t be wider. Religious leaders, as well as elites in government policy, academia, and the media must begin to discuss this asymmetry candidly, as well as its implications for serious, meaningful interfaith “dialogue” between Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
