Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.Avi Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18279593764770556442noreply@blogger.comBlogger42791100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14272455.post-31324626100385347672012-01-30T08:32:00.000-08:002012-01-30T08:35:52.362-08:00

Commentary reports that Turkey, already mired in the vicious anti-Israel sentiment being fanned and fueled by its premier Erdogan, may soon be allowing the Hamas to operate there, mostly because Syria, already deteriorating under Bashar Assad's own dictatorship, may not be the most comfortable place for them just now. No surprise, really. Turkey is really on its way down the drain.

Just how much longer are some leftists going to continue to apologize for the Occupy movement's sickening ways? The latest case of their anarchy is when they vandalized the municipality in Oakland:For weeks the protests had waned, with only a smattering of people taking to Oakland's streets for occasional marches that bore little resemblance to the headline-grabbing Occupy demonstrations of last

Still more damning info comes in on the distasteful Congressman.

The Weekly Standard found a Pew Research poll that finds many people consider Iran the most dangerous threat to the US, and the numbers polled have doubled since last year. I'm very glad to see that many Americans understand the threat Ahmedinejad's dictatorship poses to the safety of the globe.

The Weekly Standard's Ellen Bork wrote about Ron Paul's terrible record on China, and how he opposed resolutions in Congress protesting China's use of forced labor camps, for example.

The Weekly Standard reports that crazy Ron Paul's plans for cutting back on spending aren't as coherent as he and his apologists want us to think:The conventional case against Ron Paul's fiscal policy is that it's unrealistic because it's too bold. That's true enough: Ronald Reagan couldn't abolish one department; Ron Paul wants to abolish five (Education, Energy, HUD, Interior, and Commerce).

It just shows how even the US under the Obama administration is willing to take some very dangerous steps that would not be guaranteed any true cooperation from the Taliban.

Here's an article about Tuesday's protest against pseudo-Hasidic segregationists, co-organized by Rabbi Dov Lipman.

Eric Dondero of Libertarian Republican, who used to work for Ron Paul between 1987-2003, has written a special post for Right Wing News about his former boss' extremism (via Commentary).

In a followup to this earlier topic, A Mother in Israel presented these 2 pictures of women/girls who are part of a cult in Beit Shemesh that actually takes up the same approach as Muslim women with creepy looking veils that look as though there's no eyeholes.

What makes this case disturbing is that while Mitt Romney is a candidate on the Virginia ballot, so too is Ron Paul.

I've always wanted to write about a subject like this, because it is something important, but figuring out how is the difficult part. But now, I'd like to address the unfortunate discrimination that's admittedly been going on in some Hasidic mindsets as to a woman's status in Israeli society.

Well isn't that a good way to get the attention of the MSM: demagogue Paul wasn't happy about CNN's questioning him about the vicious newsletters he'd published in the past 3 decades, to the point where he apparently strode out on them. And he's the one who complained that the MSM wasn't giving him enough attention, and we thought he actually wanted it! Does he regret that now?Back in 1995, he

Kim Jong-Il, the dictator of North Korea, is now dead. His son, Kim Jong-Un, will be his successor. The question is whether this signals the end of the autocracy that's led to North Korea's becoming such a land of oppression. We have to hope it does lead to the end of the dictatorship.
