Iraqi MP Ayad Jamal Al-Din: Iraqi Political Process Made Possible Solely by U.S.; Iraq Better Off with U.S.-Sponsored Democracy Ayad Jamal Al-Din: "The entire political process in Iraq was made possible solely by American efforts. It was the U.S. that entered Baghdad, toppled Saddam, and ruled Iraq for a while, through Ambassador Bremer, and what ensued is known to all. "The U.S. is not a bunch of teenagers or children, whose political conduct is reckless, like the conduct of Sa...

In 1948 eight Arab countries declares war on Israel after Israel accepted the UN partition plan and called, in her declaration of independence (from Britain) for a peaceful together with her neighbours. Between 1948 and 1967 those same Arab countries continually attacked and sponsored attacks against Israel while Israel. In 1967 Egypt, Jordan and Syria finally lost Sinai, Gaza, the West-Bank and the Golan heights to Israel. Israel immediately offered to return those lands in exchange fo...

Quoted verbatim from campaign site: This March 8th, in memory of Neda, symbol of people of Iran’s struggle against the Islamic Republic of Iran Manifesto of Liberation of Women in Iran The very existence of the Islamic regime of Iran is incompatible with freedom of women. The Islamic Republic of Iran is a misogynist state, architect of gender apartheid and perpetrator of three decades of the most odious forms of abuse, discrimination and violence against women in Iran. A socie...

This German article tells the story of the orthodontist who refused to treat a 16-year old because his first name was "Jihad": http://www.n-tv.de/panorama/Aerztin-verweigert-Behandlung-article713542.html When I read this I thought what a stupid reason to deny treatment. After all, the boy didn't name himself and nor does "Jihad" necessarily mean or imply violent war. So I figured the orthodontist was an idiot which she probably was. The medical association also confirmed that a doc...

"Palestinian" resistance fighters ever struggling for liberty have identified the source of the oppression: Jewish beachgoers. It is still unclear whether the oppression is caused by their Jewishness or the fact that they are beachgoers. Perhaps a supporter of the "Palestinian Cause" can explain the complete mechanism? Two barrels of explosives were discovered on Israeli beaches on Monday, which were dispatched into the sea as part of a large-scale Palestinian terror attack against Israeli...

Hat tip: Israellycool   Member of Knesset Ayoub Kara said on Monday that he got the feeling from his meeting with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican last week that the Catholic Church was behind the pontiff on behalf of the Jewish people. Speaking on Arutz Sheva's Hebrew journal, the deputy minister for development of the Negev and the Galilee said that the pope's speech on International Holocaust Day showed that he knew what happened in the concentration camps. Kara said tha...

Last year in Lebanon, a left-wing American journalist tried to convince me that I’ve been too hard on Hezbollah’s Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, that I might like what I heard if I’d just listen more open-mindedly. “He’s trying to raise awareness of global warming,” he said to me earnestly over lunch. “Don’t you think that’s interesting?” I told him, no, I did not find it interesting, but the truth is I think it’s fascinati...

From Memri: http://www.memritv.org/clip_transcript/en/2347.htm Iyad Jamal Al-Din says in an interview: The political parties that are friends with Iran must realize that there is one country called Iraq and another called Iran. Their relations with Iran must not come at the expense of the interests and stability of Iraq. Unfortunately, we did not see an [Iraqi] response on the scale of the Iranian [seizure of the Fakkah oil well]. On the contrary, some Iraqi politicians have volunte...

http://www.tawfikhamid.com/pdfs/MrTolerance.pdf Note that the author of this cartoon is a Muslim, or as he so excellently puts it "a Muslim by faith... Christian by the spirit... a Jew by heart... and above all [...] a human being". Images of Muhammed were never illegal according to traditional Islam but are illegal according to the new Islam developed by people like Bin Laden.

The great freedom fighter of the anti-imperialist resistance, a man who tirelessly fought for the Iraqi people in their struggle against the American occupation and Israeli imperialism was executed by the elected Iraqi government. The BBC try to downplay the significance by claiming that his victims number only 5000: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8479115.stm According to a German news magazine, Chemical Ali was finally executed for the murder of 180,000 Kurdish civilians usin...

"Dr. Tawfik Hamid (aka Tarek Abdelhamid), is an Islamic thinker and reformer, and one time Islamic extremist from Egypt. He was a member of a terrorist Islamic organization JI with Dr. Ayman Al-Zawaherri who became later on the second in command of Al-Qaeda. Some twenty-five years ago, he recognized the threat of Radical Islam and the need for a reformation based upon modern peaceful interpretations of classical Islamic core texts." http://www.tawfikhamid.com/   Bin Laden won't s...

While Hamas have over the last few years become heroes of the western "peace movement", Egypt and the PLO are not quite as sympathetic. (My own comments appear in [non-bold].)   Egypt declares UK politician persona non grata Egypt accuses George Galloway of incitement after harsh criticism of Cairo delays in aid convoy's entry to Gaza. Foreign Ministry statement says he 'will not be allowed to enter into Egypt again' [George Galloway would obviously never send an "aid convoy...

Israel's brutal oppression of the "Palestinians" reaches a new height. In her constant search for more criminal methods of defending herself Israel has now deployed this: Israel has announced the successful testing of its Iron Dome anti-missile system, said to be capable of intercepting rockets launched by militants in Gaza and South Lebanon. The shield, which fires missiles at incoming threats that it identifies by radar, is being called a “gamechanger” in the way that I...

This war is fought between the government of Yemen, Saudi Arabia, the United States, Morocco, and Jordan on the one side and Shiite rebels in Yemen, Hizbullah, and Iran on the other. It has been going on since 2004. Deaths: 8300 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sa%27dah_insurgency Can somebody explain to me why those Arab civil wars ALWAYS cause more casualties and deaths than Israel's inhumane oppression of the "Palestinian people", considering how brutal and evil Israel's tactics are...

I think this is interesting: "One of the things that really got to me was when we were unloading a plane at Tel Aviv," said Marian, who assisted Israeli nurses on a number of flights. "A little old lady came up to me and took the hem of my jacket and kissed it. She was giving me a blessing for getting them home. We were the wings of eagles." Yemeni refugees arriving in IsraelFor both Marian and Warren, the assignment came on the heels of flying the airline’s other great adventu...
