Israel Again Under Attack by Arabs Bent on Her Destruction

Do we need more proof the Muslim world's goal is indeed the destruction of the democratic state of Israel? A nation with by far superior ethical and moral values than the wretched ideology of radical Islam.

Excerpts from The New York Times

JERUSALEM — Israel’s borders erupted in deadly clashes on Sunday as thousands of Palestinians — marching from Syria, Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank — confronted Israeli troops to mark the anniversary of Israel’s creation. More than a dozen people were reported killed and scores injured.

With an unprecedented wave of coordinated protests, the popular uprisings that have swept the region touched Israel directly for the first time. Like those other protests, plans for this one spread over social media, including Facebook, but there were also signs of official support in Lebanon and Syria, where analysts said leaders were using the Palestinian cause to deflect attention from internal problems...

At day’s end, as a tense calm returned to the country’s borders, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said the protests had been aimed at destroying Israel, not creating a Palestinian state alongside it.

“The leaders of these violent demonstrations, their struggle is not over the 1967 borders but over the very existence of Israel, which they describe as a catastrophe that must be resolved,” he said in a televised statement. “It is important that we look with open eyes at the reality and be aware of whom we are dealing with and what we are dealing with.”

Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, saluted the protesters in a televised speech, referring to the dead as martyrs. “The blood of the nakba fatalities was not spilled in vain,” he said. “They died for the Palestinian people’s rights and freedom.” ... {Read the complete article.}

Again Israel is acting in self defense against a people and ideology that refuses to recognize the Jewish people's right to exist in their historical homeland. The goal of Arab governments, the Persian Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Palestinian Authority is the annihilation of the Jewish people. How many ways do they need to prove it before the apologetic western liberal media will finally get it?

    Get what? The "apologetic western liberal media" knows the Palestinians want their country back. That's not news. They know the local Arab states use Israel as a scapegoat for every bad thing they do and the bad consequences that come from that. We all know this.

    JMJ, I look closely at your photo for a Hitler moustache. Why so antisemitic? The problem is not Palestinians "wanting their country back". It is them engaging in imperialist aggression to want to take over someone else's country. But since the victims, the target of this intended genocide, are Jews, I guess it is OK for you to lie about it?

    I recall the earlier gay-bashing comment of yours about "Faggots". Now you have also revealed yourself as an antisemite.

    If the Arab line is accurate, that there was an enduring and indigenous Palestinian population of what is now Israel, then why did the UN feel the need to alter its definition of "refugee" to "2 years or longer"? I'll tell you why. It's because a lot of those "Palestinians" came to Western Palestine (from as many as 50 other countries) to take advantage of the economic opportunities provided by the Jews.......Are the Israelis totally blameless here? Of course not. But for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party to so constantly side with the Arabs in this is extremely disappointing.

    Will - Thank you for your comment and honest statement.

    Not to cast aspersions om the progressives but... this is what they now, and always have done best over the last 110 years or so. JMHO.

    Actually, I do not deny or want to discourage the Palestinians' desire for nationhood. So they are a new nation, so what? The US was at one time.

    But the Palestinian nation should be built on the ashes of Jews, or inside the nation of Israel. Build it outside, and leave Israel alone. And unfortunately, the Palestinian national government and most of its voters are insisting on genocide at this point.

    dmarks - I assume you meant "should NOT be built on the ashes of Jews..."

    As you framed your remarks I would not have a problem either.

    Radical Islam gets in the way of much. Wouldn't you agree?

April Job Numbers Appear Improved... Are They Really?

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib erty -vs- Tyra nny The April job reports are out. The good news is unemployment fell to a four year low, certainly at year six in Obama's Presidential tenure strikes a positive note. Or does it? At the same time the number of people employed part time rose as well as strong indications are showing the Affordable Care Act (ACA aka ObamaCare) will have a long term negative impact on the USA economy. The following is an interesting analysis and one that certainly has some credibility. AEI - US job growth in April beat economist expectations as nonfarm payrolls rose 165,000, and the jobless rate fell to a four-year low of 7.5%. But the report contained worrisome signs that President Obama’s health care reform law is hurting full-time, high-wage employment. While the American economy added 293,000 jobs last month, according to the separate household survey, the number of persons employed part time for economic reasons — “involuntar

We are moving this running post up to front page this evening where it will remain until January 3'rd 2017 when we will return to single posts, hopefully on a daily basis. There is much to do in getting the TRUTH out about Donald J Trump, a dishonest, totally self absorbed, and dangerous individual. He may be the president on January 20th but that does not mean thoughtful and concerned people shouldn't challenge Trump at every turn and fight his agenda whenever it runs contrary to their interests and those of their family. More to come. BTW, be sure to read today's entry, 12/28/16, below. this is just one example AND, it is just the beginning. You've probably noticed the brief posts of late. Posts with very short commentary by the weblolg administrator followed by an article that goes into the subject in much greater detail.

Artur Davis Calls Biden Remarks 'Racial Visiousness'...

 by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Artur Davis, articulate, intelligent, honest, and spot on in his criticism of both Vice President Joe (Dufus) Biden and President Obama. ( CNN ) - Artur Davis, the former four-term Democratic congressman from Alabama, said Wednesday that Vice President Joe Biden was propagating "racial viciousness" when he said Mitt Romney's regulatory policies would "put y'all back in chains." Biden made the comments Tuesday to a predominantly black crowd in Danville, Virginia, a city with a long history of racial tension. In May Davis announced he was switching to the GOP, leaving the door open to a future political bid as a Republican. Skip Davis, who is black, said the comment smacked of a type of divisiveness he said was all too common in the South. "It brought back memories for me," Davis told Wolf Blitzer on CNN's "The Situation Room." "It brought back memories of th

From the Tea-Publican Right...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Seen today on a rightwing tea-publican weblog. When "their side" has nothing of substance to offer, and they known it, posters such as the one below become popular. Such posters are considered intellectual by the teabag folks on the right. To be balanced such posters do find their way onto left-wing weblogs. The difference? Posters on left-wing sights generally carry a valid message and the commentary factually supports the message of the post. Some random commentary from the tea-publican weblog follows. They adequately explain the reason for the poster at the top of the main page. The Debonair Dudes World October 26, 2015 at 6:46 AM I think that most Americans, be them Democrats, liberals, conservatives and or independents alike have had more than enough of President Obama’s No Strategy, No Plan, No Idea of what he is doing nor what he should be doing... .

More about Eva in her own words: I began my career as an office manager, which actually started my journey to becoming a life coach.  I was constantly bombarded with employees telling me about their work stress, which naturally turned into a conversation about  everything  — work-related or not — that took a toll on their mental well-being.

The Ignorance and Arrogance of Obama...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny In my opinion the President, in his attack on the United States Supreme court belies both his basic ignorance of our republic as well as his arrogance. His last uttering in and of itself is enough to deny the man, and I use the term loosely in this case, another term as President. Forgive me my rational liberal friends but his recent statement is more telling of his statist leanings than anything he has heretofore said. With this last he has proven beyond any doubt he is indeed clueless. The Washington Post - There was something rather unsettling in President Obama’s preemptive strike on the Supreme Court at Monday’s news conference. “I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is the biggest problem on the bench is judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint — that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law,” Obama said. “Well, here’s a

It's Going To Be Close, Brace Yourself For Continued Polarization of America, Especially if Obama Loses...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny The race is close, very close, with the momentum shifting to Romney. However, my take is the shift, as significant as it has been, came too late and too little. Progressives no doubt are biting their nails because as much as they prefer not to acknowledge it, this one is a real cliff hanger. Reminiscent of 2000. It is true if Obama loses this one progressives throughout the land will be wailing and gnashing their teeth. For them it will be a great undoing of their greatest hopes and dreams. Of course the other fifty percent of America will view it quite differently. So, as the polls close tomorrow, and the tabulating of the vote goes late into the night, we can be sure of a few thing... The nation will remain polarized, the puppet masters behind the curtains will continue calling the shots, the debt and deficits will continue, no mater who wins. And America will continue to ask why. Tomorrow, as I visit my polli
