The Democrats want you to keep silent and not talk to police
2007-07-23 07:11:00 Michelle Malkin's got some great looking photoshops showing what the Democrats would really like of America's citizens, provided by Gates of Vienna, Are We Lumberjacks, and a few others.The NYC MTA has launched a campaign urging citizen vigilance and activism. They're doing the right thing. And, the Minneapolis Star Tribune has a followup on where the John Doe amendment is headed:Republicans have been demanding that the lawsuit protections be added in a conference committee meeting to reconcile the House and Senate versions of what has been dubbed the ?9/11 bill.? The committee, of which Coleman is a member, adjourned Thursday without taking up the proposal.Coleman?s staff said the measure could come up again as the Senate finishes work on the conference report this week.The postponement came as 64 House Republicans ? including Rep. John Kline of Minnesota ? distributed a letter saying ?No American should fear lawsuits for doing the right thing.?Absolutely not, nor should residen... More About: Police , Talk , Silent , Poli
Meet Augustus Richard Norton, Hezbollah apologist
2007-07-22 16:40:00 The Jerusalem Post writes a book review of Hezbollah : A Short History, written by one Augustus Richard Norton , a Boston University professor and terror apologist:Here we go again: yet another American "scholar" who apologizes for an Islamist terrorist group that exists first and foremost to murder, maim and destroy. With Hezbollah: A Short History, Augustus Richard Norton, a Boston University professor of international relations and anthropology, has joined the ranks of dozens of US academics who inexplicably teach the kinder and gentler side of terrorists.Norton, a former observer with the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization, states in his prologue that he seeks to provide "a more balanced and nuanced account" of Hizbullah, which he calls a "complex organization." Of course, there is little that is complex or nuanced about a group that receives an estimated $100 million a year from the radical Islamic regime in Iran to carry out violence, and has used violence as its rais...

Sudanese woman murdered by Egyptian police
2007-07-22 16:37:00 This stinks of nazism, nothing new for many Islamofascists:Egyptian police shot and killed a Sudanese woman and seriously wounded four others Sunday on the Sinai Peninsula as they tried to sneak into Israel, a local police officer said.Many refugees trying to enter Israel from Egypt have been arrested, and some wounded, by police, but Haja Abbas Haroun's death was the first of its kind.Haroun, 28, was killed instantly by police gunfire, while four others, including a woman and young girl, were critically wounded and taken to a local hospital, said Capt. Mohammed Badr of the northern Sinai police force.The border guards arrested 22 refugees with Haroun who were also seeking political asylum in Israel, Badr added. Eighteen from the group, including Haroun and three of the wounded, were from Sudan's war-torn Darfur region. The rest were from Eritrea and the Ivory Coast, the home country of the fourth person injured....Many Sudanese find life difficult in Egypt, a country that strug... More About: Police , Woman , Poli

Don't let the John Doe amendment be sabotaged by the Dems
2007-07-19 17:39:00 Audrey Hudson at the Wash. Times and Andy McCarthy at The Corner (via Michelle Malkin) inform us that the Dems are trying to dumb down Rep. Peter King's legislation that protects citizens from being sued for reporting suspicious actions that could be dangerous. Clearly, the Dems are attempting to placate CAIR, which should not be allowed. Contact their switchboard immediately!Update: well now isn't this disgusting. The D ems knocked down the bill.

Lindenstrauss report now official: homefront was neglected during war
2007-07-18 18:51:00 State Comptroller Micha Linden strauss' much awaited report on the handling of the second Lebanon war has been released today. Ehud Olmert and his aides even went so far as to desperately and pathetically criticize it even before its release, but now, here it is, and it's scathing indeed:"The management of the home front during the war was severely defective [and] the country's leaders invested most of their efforts in the fighting in Lebanon but neglected the home front that was under severe attack since the first day of the war," according to a report released Wednesday by State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss on the preparations and handling of the home front ahead of and during the Second Lebanon War.This poor management, said the report, left an "empty gap" in the home front and left the residents "exposed, vulnerable and without protection" in the most difficult of periods.The report added that in particular, the disabled, sick and those with deficiencies were neglected sinc...

When trouble arises, use the taser
2007-07-17 23:24:00 A Muslim woman who was already under investigation in Texas lured police into a standoff and received a nice little taser love zap (H/T: Jihad Watch):It started with a routine domestic disturbance, except that the pair involved has recently been under investigation by federal terrorism officials.Before the day ended, Arlington police had negotiated a six-hour standoff, their robot had been shot at with a paintball gun, and they had called in a bomb squad over four potentially explosive devices.Kimberly Al-Homsi called 911 about 12:40 a.m. Monday. She said her friend, Aisha Hamad, had threatened her with a knife. The two are noteworthy because a few months ago, they were seen at Dallas Love Field, both dressed in camouflage pants under traditional Muslim robes, conducting what appeared to be surveillance, officials said.Police say that Monday morning, when an officer came to the door, Ms. Hamad threatened to shoot him.

Haim Ramon's act is worse than Moshe Katsav's supposed act
2007-07-17 14:57:00 The Supreme Court president said the following:Supreme Court President Dorit Beinisch said on Tuesday that the charge sheet against Vice Premier Haim Ramon was worse than the one against former president Mosh e Kats av.Beinisch made the statement during a High Court discussion of petitions against a plea bargain signed by Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz, which erased Katsav's more serious charges in exchange for the former president admitting to sexual harassment and performing indecent acts.The problem with this here is that I cannot tell whether she said it for good reasons or not. But Ramon is certainly much more guilty of committing an indecent act than Katsav supposedly is. More About: Israel , Pose , Moshe

Many Saudi terrorists in Iraq
2007-07-16 22:17:00 The LA Times (via Hot Air) reports that many terrorists operating in Iraq are Sunni Muslims from Saudi Arabia:Although Bush administration officials have frequently lashed out at Syria and Iran, accusing it of helping insurgents and militias here, the largest number of foreign fighters and suicide bombers in Iraq come from a third neighbor, Saudi Arabia, according to a senior U.S. military officer and Iraqi lawmakers?He said 50% of all Saudi fighters in Iraq come here as suicide bombers. In the last six months, such bombings have killed or injured 4,000 Iraqis??To suggest they?ve done nothing to stem the flow of people into Iraq is wrong,? said a U.S. intelligence official in Washington, who spoke on condition of anonymity. ?People do get across that border. You can always ask, ?Could more be done?? But what are they supposed to do, post a guard every 15 or 20 paces???Others contend that Saudi Arabia is allowing fighters sympathetic to Al Qaeda to go to Iraq so they won?t create hav...

Britain contemptuously buries Winston Churchill
2007-07-15 23:09:00 Well, I guess with all the PC-madness consuming Britain , it was going to happen sooner or later: they're taking school lessons about the man who may have been the last sane leader they ever had and deleting them from their school curriculum (via Michelle Malkin):FURY erupted last night after Sir Wins ton Churchill was axed from school history lessons.Britain?s cigar-chomping World War Two PM ? famed for his two-finger victory salute ? was removed from a list of figures secondary school children must learn about.Instead they will be taught about ?relevant? issues such as global warming and drug dangers.

Who is Alexandra Kitty?
2007-07-14 22:58:00 She's a Canadian-born journalist who's worked for places like the Hamilton Spectator, and here's her website. And I'm sad to say, but, if she's going to join the anti-Rupert Murdoch bandwagon with fellow FOXophobe Robert Greenwald, then I think that casts a shadow of a doubt over her other book, Don't Believe It: How Lies Become News.One could say that all these TV networks slant the news in one way or other. But if she's going to single out FOX news network for criticism as she did, then it's as if she's saying that the others are straight and honest. So what's she trying to prove anyway?

One of Gilad Shalit's kidnappers was arrested
2007-07-13 17:25:00 One of the scum who kidnapped the soldier has been captured:One of the Palestinian terror operatives who kidnapped Cpl. Gilad Schalit in a cross-border raid near Kerem Shalom last June has been arrested, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced Friday afternoon, lifting a gag order.Muhammad Salameh Abed Zufi, 30, was apprehended in Rafah on June 9.The Shin Bet said that Zufi, who admitted during his interrogation that he had photographed the Kerem Shalom raid, also said he had involved in a 2002 raid on the "Africa" outpost in the same area on the Gaza border. In that raid, an IDF officer and three Beduin trackers were killed.In addition to the raids on IDF outposts, Zufi was also involved in other attacks that wounded soldiers and launching Kassam rockets at Israel from the Gaza Strip.Has he been cooperative with the authorities since then, and given them any clues to Shalit's whereabouts?

France's 1st lady visits Bulgarian nurses hostage in Libya
2007-07-12 21:15:00 Which shows that, contrary to what the sickening leader of the Front National, Jean-Marie Le Pen, was trying to insinuate a few months ago prior to the election, Nicholas Sarkozy's marriage is doing quite well, and the first lady herself is now making an important visit to the nurses who've been wrongfully imprisoned on what sound like very fake charges:French First Lady Cecilia Sarkozy on Thursday visited five Bulgari an nurses sentenced to death in Libya for allegedly infecting hundreds of children with HIV, France's president said.

Collaborator convicted
2007-07-12 21:13:00 A traitor has been convicted for aiding a murderer:The Tel Aviv district Court on Thursday convicted Ashraf Keisi, a 28-year-old Israeli Arab from Baka al-Gharbiya of five counts of murder and dozens of attempted murders for his part in a suicide attack at a Tel Aviv club, the "Stage", in February 2005, which killed five people and injured fifty more.Keisi was arrested a day after the attack, admitting in his interrogation that he had driven the bomber. Keisi also admitted to having been in contact with Abu Sa'ada, an Islamic Jihad operative from Tulkarm, and other terrorists, who wished to take advantage of the freedom of movement afforded him by his Israeli identity card.Keisi was convicted not only of driving the suicide bomber to the club but of helping the terrorists select the target to be attacked. He was also pronounced guilty of assisting an enemy in wartime and supporting a terror organization. Keisi's conviction was based on the confession he gave to the Shin Bet (Israe... More About: Coll

Did Haim Ramon arrange for his victim to be stalked?
2007-07-12 06:36:00 Haim Ramon, the former Labor MK and now Kadima minister who'd originally been convicted of sexual harrassment, then was let off on a misdemeanor, may have had a private investigator harass his victim, though it was his former brother-in-law who did the hiring:Police at the national headquarters said Tuesday evening that due to a petition made by complainant "H," the plaintiff in Vice Premier Haim Ramon's recent sexual harassment trial, police met with officials from the State Attorney's Office to discuss suspicions that H had been harassed following the trial. H's legal counsel had addressed their concerns to representatives of the State Attorney's Office, which reviewed the allegations and passed the information on to the police.On Tuesday, Police Intelligence and Investigation Division head Cmdr. Yochanan Danino met with State Attorney Eran Shendar to discuss the matter. Parallel to the meeting, police confirmed the now overt investigation.In the course of the probe, detectiv...

Anti-war zealot wounds US airman in Pensauken, New Jersey
2007-07-10 17:27:00 It's tragically just as I predicted a few months ago, that even an attempted murder by a moonbat was likely to happen. Now, such a thing has, in Pensauken, New Jersey (via Michelle Malkin):An airman from McGuire Air Force Base remained hospitalized in critical but stable condition at a Camden hospital Thursday, a day after he was shot in the chest by another man who then took his own life.The exact circumstances of Wednesday evening?s bizarre attempted murder-suicide on Windsor Lane remained under investigation by township detectives and the Burlington County Prosecutor?s Office.Authorities said they are still trying to determine if the gunman, identified as Matthew J. Marren, 22, of Pennsauken, knew and specifically targeted the victim, Jonathan Schrieken, 22, or if his shooting of the airman was a random act.But, based on their preliminary investigation, authorities said in a news release Thursday that it ?appears to be a random act of violence and there is no indication to belie...

Silvan the leftist
2007-07-09 19:56:00 Likud MK Silvan Shalom is dropping out of the leadership race. With the way he talks, I'd say he deserves it:Likud MK Silvan Shalom announced at a press conference in Tel Aviv Monday morning that he was dropping out of the September 3 primary race against current party chairman Binyamin Netanyahu.Shalom said he could not be a partner in the primary elections if they were held as Netanyahu wanted. "What's happening in the Likud today is a farce typical of the Baath regime in Syria," Shalom said. "Is that what we want to imitate?"How insulting can he be? Plus, how leftist can he be? The answer lies in the following:Members forcing decisions on the party had already driven out several prominent Likud members, he argued, citing former MKs Dan Meridor, David Levy, and Yitzhak Mordechai as examples.And two out of three of those examples are definitely leftists: Meridor, who went with Kadima, and Mordechai, who undermined Netanyahu's government a decade ago. It should be noted that Mord... More About: Israel , Leftist
Pending investigation of Olmert's house purchase

Somehow, I doubt it. Also, it seems that Gordon Brown has chosen recently to ban the word "muslim" or "islam" from government discussions on terrorism (Hat tip: Hot Air).

Hamas said its fighters surprised an Israeli undercover unit.Wrong.
