Tel-Chai Nation

Something I put together on occasion.

WorldNetDaily's Jerusalem bureau has published a report of a shocking discovery they made, of how a European Union official met in secret with Hamas representatives, and declared them "freedom fighters" while blaming terrorism on "Israeli occupation". The official even failed to contradict claims that the Hamas made that Israel was responsible for even 9-11 (these kind of smear-blame tactics are typical of such crazy hypocrites). It was via transcripts seized from the PLO's compounds in 2002, that only now were made public:

The transcripts, seized from the Palestinian Authority Preventive Security compound in Gaza during Israel's 2002 Defensive Shield operation and released through Israel's Center for Special Studies, document a discreet meeting between Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who was assassinated by Israel in March 2004, and Alistair Crooke, the security adviser for Miguel Moratinos, then EU special envoy for promoting the peace process in the Middle East.

I can only wonder how Moratinos will try to explain away Crooke's meeting with the ganglord of a terrorist organization, hardly without his permission, in order to defend his and the EU's war aims. That's probably why lower ranking employees are sent along to do the dirty work for the bigwigs - because its like a coverup for the bigwigs.

2 NY Press articles, one good and the other bad: In the first article I link to here, we get a thoughtful lesson on how, while there are some women who've done crazy things like targeting other women who're pregnant out of jealousy, many of these crimes against pregnant women in the US are committed by male predators:

In rare cases, they're killed by a crazy lady who wants the baby for herself. In most cases, though, all you need to do is find the boyfriend.

This just goes to show as to why so-called entertainment, like soap operas, or even comic books like Identity Crisis, do not reflect reality.

Now, the bad news: this otherwise knee-jerk weekly has also published during the same week an article defending Columbia University for its bias against the Jewish part of its student body, and it's anti-Israel positions:

Next to these struggles, today's squawking over alleged bias on the part of Joseph Massad and other professors looks silly. Not only have the worst of the claims been discredited by an official university inquiry, but it turns out the students who made them were abetted by an outside lobbying group called the David Project. These kids didn't just hurl charges of anti-Semitism because they disagreed with Massad's politics—which would be bad enough—they did so as willing agents of a nutty New England–based pressure group determined to ensure the proper line on Israel at campuses around the country. Talk about Zionist stooges!

Wowee. Us, the "Zionist stooges," eh?

They say at the beginning "Call us anti-Semitic, but the last time we checked a map of the Middle East, it was overwhelmingly Arab and Muslim." and it's astonishing as to how they de-facto admit it. And then towards the end they say "As for the students now howling whitewash at Columbia's self-acquittal, they should relax." It's astonishing as to how they admit that the university self-aquitted itself, and then go on to smear the New York Sun/Post for helping to represent the cause of the Jewish plaintiffs!

All I can say is that the NY Press has done little more than to put itself in the exact same position as the NY Times, as yet another thug-paper-for-hire.

Another older topic: Michelle Malkin reports on Jane Fonda, whose excercise videos my mother will no longer get:

What the ultra-knee-jerk NY Times said about her in an attempt to downplay her positions:

'As she has before, Ms. Fonda apologizes for being photographed laughing and clapping while sitting on an antiaircraft gun in Hanoi. (She writes that she absent-mindedly sat down in a moment of euphoria with her North Vietnamese hosts, and adds, ''That two-minute lapse of sanity will haunt me until the day I die.'')'

And what she told the ultra-establishment 60 Minutes:

"I will go to my grave regretting that. The image of Jane Fonda, 'Barbarella,' Henry Fonda's daughter, just a woman sitting on an enemy aircraft gun was a betrayal. It was like I was thumbing my nose at the military and at the country that gave me privilege."

Thumbing her nose?! She lied on Hanoi radio about the state of the POWs, insulted her own president, and called her own country's pilots "war criminals". The way she puts it is virtually flyweight, if at all.

And she has the chutzpah to say it was like she was thumbing her nose at somebody? For heaven's sake, she did thumb her nose at somebody!

She really is a hopeless case indeed. And, as a writer to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said:

"Despite repeated claims, Hanoi Jane Fonda has never apologized for her treasonous collaboration with the Vietnamese Communists. Writing that it was 'a betrayal' and 'a lapse of judgment' is a confession, not an apology."

And Henry Mark Holzer had something even more severe to say about Fonda on MSNBC:

"She committed treason. She exploited and misused American POWs. She gave the North Vietnamese communists, with whom we were then at war, propaganda that American POWs endured unimaginable torture not to give them, she gave it to them for free. And, indeed, she caused the deaths of American fighting men and the deaths of our allies as well."

And her past movies she starred in should be boycotted, including even her excercise videos. This brings to mind how Leonard Maltin once blatantly panned a movie that may have slammed her in 1987 (The Hanoi Hilton), apparently because of its right-wing stance. After that, I will never support his movie reviews again.

David Ben-Ariel's article, Germany Behind the Mask: Monster or Marshmallow?

MoveAmericaForward's TV ad campaign to support the troops, America Says Thank You, has a video podcast and two audio podcasts, here and here.

And then, there's Michael Freund's report on the increase of student visas for Saudi university students. Michelle Malkin and Diana West spoke about this earlier, and Debbie Schlussel also comments on it.

James J. Na writes about North Korea's nuclear warefare brewery (via The Korea Liberator).
