Jerusalem, Israel — April 15, 2013 … Shortly after terror bombs exploded and murdered over 12 people at the Boston Marathon, members of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah were reported to be dancing in the streets of Gaza, handing out candies to passerbys.
A number of Palestinians had danced in the street in celebration of the 9/11 attacks in 2001 on the World Trade Center and Washington resulting in the deaths of thousands of Americans.
The head of an Islamic terror organization in Jordan – the Muslim Salafi group says he’s “happy to see the horror in America” after the bombing attacks in Boston.
“American blood isn’t more precious than Muslim blood,” said Mohammad al-Chalabi, who was convicted in an al-Qaeda-linked plot to attack US and other Western diplomatic missions in Jordan in 2003.
“Let the Americans feel the pain we endured by their armies occupying Iraq and Afghanistan and killing our people there,” he said today.
A Mideast counterterrorism official based in Jordan said the blasts “carry the hallmark of an organized terrorist group, like al-Qaeda.”
TEL AVIV – The White House has released what it says is a map of Israel. The only problem is that Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the Golan Heights are missing.
An Obama administration video highlighting the president’s plans for his Mideast trip depicts Jerusalem, the Golan and the West Bank – also known as Judea and Samaria – as non-Israeli territory.
The Washington Free Beacon, which first reported the discrepancies, noted the video shows the Golan Heights as part of Syria; Jerusalem is depicted as part of the West Bank; and northern Israel is shown as part of Lebanon. WND reported in August 2012 when the White House refused to name the capital of Israel – not once, but twice – as the two most senior White House correspondents cornered Obama’s press secretary, doggedly questioning him on whether the Obama administration considered Jerusalem or Tel Aviv to be the capital of the Jewish state.
The itinerary on the White House website further implies that Jerusalem is not Israel’s capital or even part of Israel, reported the Free Beacon. Obama’s schedule lists two stops in “Tel Aviv, Israel” and one in “Amman, Jordan,” while his trip to Israel’s capital city is identified as taking place only in “Jerusalem.”
Socialism and planned economies never end well for man.
A worthy read …

If you read this column very often you know the frustration and disgust I feel for our government, their profligate spending, their all consuming passion for self-preservation, and the inevitable fall at the end of the ruinous path they seem so determined to force this nation down.
You know I’m deeply concerned about the rapid erosion of personal liberty and our president’s cavalier attitude toward the Constitution and consolidation of power into a monolithic central, federal government, a bureaucratic nightmare that makes and enforces the rules, controlling even the administration of health care and the curriculum our children will study in school.
I fear the rampant apathy and lackadaisical work ethic of the entitlement society will become so deeply ingrained in the coming generations that the nanny state policies of this president and others like him who are likely to be elected will gradually drain the wealth and the will of the population until the well is bone dry and the confusion and anger of those who are suddenly left to fend for themselves will overrun the streets of this nation resulting in chaos and bloodshed.
Ahmadinejad called Hamas leader Esmail Hanieh to praise the resistance and perseverance of the Gaza people and their repeated victory over Zionists. (IRNA)
Iranian regime President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hailed the great victory of Hamas over Israel.
Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has hailed the great victory of the Palestinian resistance movement against Israel, saying Zionists have reached the end of the line.
“Zionists have reached the end of the road and have no choice but to recognize and yield to the absolute right of the Palestinian nation,” Ahmadinejad said in a telephone conversation with democratically-elected Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh on Saturday.
He added that the path chosen by the people in the Gaza Strip and the resistance movements would lead to dignity and freedom of all of Palestine.
The Iranian chief executive expressed hope for the liberation of the holy al-Quds (Jerusalem) and the establishment of justice across the globe through joint efforts of all Muslim nations.
Haniyeh, for his part, thanked the support of the Iranian government and nation for the Palestinian people against brutal attacks of the Israeli regime.
The Palestinian people firmly insist on their principles and will never withdraw from their stance, he said.
U.S. Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) announced that his re-election campaign has begun running a 60-second spot on Friday that shows Villaraigosa — acting in his role as DNC chairman — being booed by delegates after a trio of voice votes over changes to the Democratic Party’s official platform. Those changes included the reinsertion of the word “God” into one passage and a declaration that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
West campaign operatives said the ad is on cable but would not specify which stations. Campaign manager Tim Edson said the commercial, which is aimed at West’s opponent, Democrat Patrick Murphy, shows that Democratic Party delegates had “three times denied God,” with a “befuddled” Villaraigosa presiding.
“This is the party with whom Patrick Murphy has cast his lot,” the West campaign said in a news release.
The last is from BJ hawking Obama Socialism again ….. haven’t we had enough of it already? At least 23 million of us aare unemployed or under-employed, did you get a degree in hamburger flipping? Another go at spinning it as a good thing, apparently the stay-cation folks were busy. Socialism is still socialism, spin doesn’t change that fact.
And No we still aren’t drilling in the GULF. Or anywhere else, it seems, except N.D. where fortunately the oil is not on Federal Land. So there is nothing Obama or his Energy Department can do to stop that, not right now anyway. But they are trying.
Wasn’t the spin just lovely … So why is gasoline so high priced? And for good effect, why has food gone up so much, per month … Don’t the Obama’s know what making alchohol out of 5 billion bushels of corn does to food prices?
And trotting out the head liar in the party, to blow pretty bubbles from his sax, doesn’t change the facts.
Drudge has a way with headlines, he just updates them as they come out …which is why I copy them here, for record.
Crowd boos, heavily as DNC reinstates God in platform.
What did you ecpect from Godless DNC delegates. Had to ask three times .. ..
Now an update to the story that The Brody File first broke across the country: God is back.
This has become a disaster for the Democrats and a boon to the Romney campaign. The DNC has now added God back into their platform language after originally taking it out. They have also added language back in that says Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. When they tried to change the language on the convention floor, there were boos! Oy-gevalt.
So the Democrat Party tells us they want the Assault Weapons ban back. After earlier telling us all, we belong to government. Isn’t that how Statist always think. Why do they want your guns, unless they think they have to do stuff to you that you might not want to go along with. Only peasants will surrender your guns to government.
Unlike the party’s 2008 platform, the Democrats 2012 platform does not specifically mention Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and now Mitt Romney is firing back.
“It is unfortunate that the entire Democratic Party has embraced President Obama’s shameful refusal to acknowledge that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital,”
Romney said in an e-mail to reporters.
The DNC platform removes God and the mention if Jerusalem, Israel’s capital, form the platform.
And why wouldn’t the Godless party remove God?
In 2008, the Democratic platform stated: “Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel. The parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.”
Earlier this year, White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest stated “the capital [of Israel] is something that should be determined in final status negotiations between the parties. I’d remind you that that’s the position that’s been held by previous administrations, both Democratic and Republican.”
The Jerusalem Embassy Act, which calls for Jerusalem to be recognized as the capital of Israel, was passed by Congress in 1995 but has never been implemented. Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and now Barack Obama have viewed it as a congressional infringement on the executive branch’s constitutional authority over foreign policy.
“Four years of President Obama’s repeated attempts to create distance between the United States and our cherished ally have led the Democratic Party to remove from their platform an unequivocal acknowledgment of a simple reality,” Romney’s statement read on Tuesday. “As president, I will restore our relationship with Israel and stand shoulder to shoulder with our close ally.”
Doesn’t God supersede State? Oh that’s the problem I see it now!!!
Tell me what’s Obama’s plan for the next four years? Don’t know do you?
So first it was psst – Tell Putin I will have much more flexibility after the election … Now it’s the Palestinian Authority. Say what?
So what’s Obama going to do, talk to a ghost? And why shouldn’t we Americans know? Don’t you know what Obama plans for a Second Term? Isn’t it the custom to talk about your accomplishments in the first and how the plans will be better in the second?
Why the big secrets.
The Obama administration has asked the Palestinian Authority to delay its bid to unilaterally declare a state at the United Nations until after November’s presidential election, a senior PA official told KleinOnline.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the request was passed to PA President Mahmoud Abbas’ office by the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem earlier this month.
The official said the PA has not yet made a decision about the timing of its application with the U.N. General Assembly for accepting “Palestine” as a non-member state. The official, however, did indicate Abbas is inclined toward waiting until after the U.S. presidential election.
Any U.N. push by the PA prior to the election would thrust the Obama administration into the position of having to deal with the U.N. statehood question in the middle of an election.
When you consider that Obama press spokesman wouldn’t say Jerusulam was Israel’s capital, despite the seat of government is in Israel .. .
Daniel Pipes’s judgment about the Middle East is as good as anyone’s, so I was interested to see what he thought about Mitt Romney’s Jerusalem speech. In a word, he was impressed.
Mitt Romney, the all-but-official Republican presidential candidate, delivered a stem-winder of a speech to the Jerusalem Foundation today, packing emotional support with frank policy statements. The contrast with Obama could hardly be more dramatic. Indeed, one could go through the speech and note the many refutations of Obama. For example, the opening comment that “To step foot into Israel is to step foot into a nation that began with an ancient promise made in this land” directly contrasts with Obama’s crabbed statement in Cairo about “the aspiration for a Jewish homeland [being] rooted in a tragic history.”
Also, in contrast to the nonsensical Obama administration stance on Jerusalem – sneaking in changes to captions that identified it as such and going through verbal gymnastics to avoid calling it that – Romney came out and plainly called Jerusalem “the capital of Israel.”
Pipes quotes some of the more powerful passages in Romney’s speech, emphasizing the close ties between the U.S. and Israel.
He concludes:
Comments:
(1) Obama and Romney stand as far apart on Israel as they do on the sources of economic growth.
(2) Over and over again, Romney returned to the moral bonds between the two countries; yes, there are mutual benefits from our connection, but ultimately it reflects something higher and greater than any of us.
(3) Were he elected, it will be fascinating to watch to what extent the outlook expressed today will convey to the workaday policy issues. I expect it will substantially convey.
