Israel’s operation into the Gaza Strip last January and the embargo on aid has had an effect. Hamas is now announcing that it will stop attacks on Israel. This, in effect, ends Hamas’s renewal of the fighting a year ago. Here’s the problem: Is Hamas just stopping long enough to get the aid money… Continue reading
Khaled Mashaal makes it clear that Hamas is determined to continue the path of “resistance” (i.e., terrorism) and that “other statements are political maneuvers.” He reveals that Hamas uses most of its financial resources in the Gaza Strip for military purposes rather than rebuilding… Continue reading
Recently several statements have been made by senior members of Fatah and the Palestinian Authority regarding plans to unilaterally declare the establishment of a Palestinian state with the 1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital, and to that end to appeal to the the Security Council… Continue reading

On November 5, 2009 there was a confrontation at Brandeis University in Massachusetts between the president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Dr. Dore Gold, and Judge Richard Goldstone. It dealt, among other things, with the affair of the al-Maqdamah mosque in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, about which two contradictory versions exist… Continue reading

Since the attack at Fort Hood, the media and politicians in the USA are avoiding political incorrectness including Barack Obama in saying that this shooting wasn’t Islamic related or at least unclear what was the motive at this point. Yet every normal thinking human being knows that the overwhelming signs all point towards the same conclusion: it was an act of… Continue reading

Today I read an article about the Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, also leader of the muslim-conservative AK party in Turkey, who reportedly has said: “It’s not possible for a Muslim to commit genocide.”… Continue reading
The Goldstone report is not about truth and justice. It’s only about world wide condemning of Israel (instigated by the arab muslim states) and legitimation for further terrorist attacks and widespread anti-semitism against Israel… Continue reading
Het meest treffend aan het interview is de pessimistische, maar ook realistische kijk van Benny Begin op het vredesproces met de Palestijnen. Volgens zijn eigen zeggen bevindt Israel zich in een gekkenhuis, doelend op de omringende buren van Israel met hun wapenarsenalen, die slechts de vernietiging van de Joodse staat op het oog hebben. Waaronder de 40.000 Hezbollah raketten in Libanon… Continue reading
A Muslim fanatic with an internet site praising Islamic suicide bombers as defenders of their comrades is a Major in the U.S. Army with access to military intelligence and lethal weaponry. And it’s not as though the army didn’t know that he was a Muslim fanatic and supporter of the Islamic Jihad against the West… Continue reading

The interior minister of the de facto Hamas administration describes the support his office gives the terrorist organizations operating in the Gaza Strip. His description contradicts the claim the Hamas administration made to the Goldstone Committee, according to which it had no direct or indirect links to the terrorist organizations… Continue reading
In pondering the behavior of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, I cannot help but think of the 500,000 plastic keys that Iran imported from Taiwan during the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-88. At the time, an Iranian law laid down that children as young as 12 could be used to clear mine fields, even against the objections of their parents. Before every mission, a small plastic key would be hung around each of the children’s necks. It was supposed to open for them the gates to paradise… Continue reading
The following is a very intriguing article about the history of the Basiji, who are now a paramilitary organisation in Iran and the most loyal paramilitary force of Ahmadinejad and the Ayatollah’s… Continue reading

De Iraanse president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sprak op 24 september 2009 tijdens de Algemene Vergadering van de VN. De verwachte Holocaust ontkenning bleef uit, maar zonder het woord ‘jood’ te noemen schetste hij een volledig door antisemitische stereotypen gekleurd wereldbeeld waarin Joden de vijand zijn die de wereld in hun greep houden om moslims kwaad te doen… Continue reading…
In 1918, the last year of the first World War, more than 1500 jewish men and women in Palestine (the countries jewish population was then about 60.000) enlisted in an all-jewish volunteer fighting unit, the jewish legion. Five hundred of the volunteers were young women and girls who enrolled in an auxiliary service of the legion to provide medical care for the wounded soldiers. Modelled on the Red Cross, the service was given the name Magen David Adom (which means “Red Shield of David”, but also known as the Red Star of David). A selected number of its members served in military hospitals, and their emblem, the Red Shield of David, was recognized by the British Military Government. Shortly after the end of the War, the service was disbanded… Continue reading
Following the UN Human Rights Council’s endorsement of the Goldstone Commission Report in Geneva on Friday, the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem stated that Israel rejects the “one-sided decision” and calls on “all the responsible states” not to accept it… Continue reading

Deze Sjiitische leider, Mesba-Yazdi, is een persoonlijke geestelijk adviseur van President Ahmadinejad van Iran… Continue reading
This past week, despite the events on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, there was a decrease in the amount of rocket and mortar shell fire. One mortar shell hit was identified in an open field near the southern Israeli city of Sderot (October 7, 2009). There were no casualties and no damage was done. Elements within the Army of the Nation (a network affiliated with the global jihad) claimed responsibility for the attack, calling it retaliation for the events at Al-Aqsa mosque… Continue reading
