The Oslo Accords signed on the White House lawn in September 1993 served Yasser Arafat, chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) well. The Accords were the Trojan Horse that enabled Arafat to return to “Palestine” as a hero. Only a few years earlier, he had supported Saddam Hussein’s brutal occupation of Kuwait. But when the U.S.-led coalition pushed Iraqi forces out of Kuwait, Palestinians living in the region paid the price for Arafat and Saddam’s alliance — half–a-million Palestinians were expelled by the Kuwaitis. Arafat’s fortunes had nose-dived. He was in exile in Tunisia, and the dream of expelling the Jews from “Palestine” seemed remote. Then, lo and behold, he was saved by Israel and the U.S...read more

The August 22, 2010 edition of CNN’s "Fareed Zakaria GPS" opened with a debate about the controversial mosque slated to be built in Manhattan. It ended with a monologue in which the host seemed to imply that Hezbollah’s "respect" for Jews could be a model for Americans concerned with the mosque plans...Fareed Zakaria Casts Hezbollah as a Model of Religious Tolerance

From American Thinker:
On November 9, 1938, nearly 200 synagogues were set afire throughout Germany under the direction of Josef Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister. Known as the "Night of Broken Glass" or Kristallnacht, it was a time of horror as thousand-year old Jewish houses of worship were destroyed and vicious planned acts of violence against Jews ensued...Synagogues Burning

Sixth Fatah Congress: The Myth of Moderation
From CAMERA:
The media has long promoted Fatah — in contrast to Hamas — as the party of Palestinian political moderates seeking peace with Israel, while glossing over evidence to the contrary. (See "Is Fatah Moderate?") An example of this was coverage by some media outlets of the Sixth Fatah General Congress, the first such conference in twenty years, which has just concluded...Read More
Despite a plea by an activist from the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center, the General Council of United Church of Canada has voted down two proposals to boycott Israel, and denied approval to a third that was originally accompanied by background material that obliquely accused un-named Jewish members of the Canadian Parliament of being disloyal to Canada because of their support for Israel. The vote took place on Thursday, Aug. 14, 2009, shortly after the commission voted to repudiate the background material associated with these resolutions...Hijacking Interrupted: United Church of Canada Says No to Anti-Israel Boycott

East Jerusalem’s Lost Years
A special thanks to Lori for keeping the fires burning while I was away!
From FrontPageMag:
The recent protests in Sheikh Jarrah against the eviction of two Palestinians have once again focused international attention on East Jerusalem. International condemnation of Israel has come from a variety of sources. Robert Serry, a special coordinator with the UN, has argued that he “deplores today’s unacceptable actions by Israel.” The EU Presidency has condemned what it calls “unacceptable evictions” and secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said that the events are “not in keeping with Israeli obligations.” A member of one of Jerusalem’s former leading families, Hasib Nashashibi claims “The recent evictions are part of a plan to surround the Arab neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah with Jewish settlements, in order to separate the approximately 500 Arabs from the rest of the city and take control of the major roads in the area.” ...Read more

Palestinians: Bide Your Time, Israel Will Crack
By: MEMRI FrontPageMagazine.com Tuesday, July 14, 2009
In a June 25, 2009 interview with the Jordanian daily Al-Dustour, Palestinian Authority negotiations department head Saeb Ereqat said that the previous Israeli government, under Ehud Olmert, had offered PA President Mahmoud 'Abbas territory equal in size to 100% of the land occupied in 1967, by means of a land swap. Ereqat explained, however, that the PA would not agree to a land swap before Israel recognized the Palestinians' right to sovereignty over all the territory occupied in 1967. He added that there had been a steady erosion in Israel's position over the years, to the point that it had recently offered the Palestinians 100% of the territory; therefore, the Palestinians had no reason to rush into accepting the Israeli proposals. He stressed that the Right of Return and monetary compensation for the refugees were not mutually exclusive, and that the Palestinians would insist on receiving both.
Addressing the issue of Hamas, he said that nobody was asking it to recognize Israel, but that any government in which Hamas was a partner would have to recognize Israel and the commitments undertaken by the PLO.
Ereqat stated further that the Palestinians were acting in full coordination with Jordan and keeping it informed of all Israeli proposals and of their replies to these proposals. Regarding Iran, he said that it did not pose a threat, as was frequently claimed.

For Zion's Sake Ministries:
Palestinian Authority (PA) senior official and head of its negotiations department, Saeb Erekat, has said in a detailed interview with an Arabic newspaper that no Jews should be permitted to stay in a Palestinian state, that Palestinians have an “absolute right” to the eastern half of Jerusalem and that, as Israel’s negotiating positions have weakened and been concessionary over the years, the Palestinians should agree to nothing now and allow Israel to concede still more...PA's Erekat: No Jews Allowed In Palestinian State
The PA will resume violence and terror against Israel when Fatah is "capable," and "according to what seems right," Fatah Jerusalem Regional Committee member Kifah Radaydeh says in a PA TV interview. She states openly that peace is not a goal for Fatah: "It has been said that we are negotiating for peace, but our goal has never been peace. Peace is a means; the goal is Palestine."...Fatah official: Our goal has never been peace
Of course, BHO feels that Israel must engage in self reflection. Really?
