Hamas, Part 2
February 3, 2009Mark finishes what he began yesterday.
More from the Davos Conference.
And how the United Nations Works & Relief Agency profits from making up Israeli atrocities: telling lies that help line the pockets of UNRWA officials, while the gasoline UNRWA intentionally throws on the fire of religious hatred causes hate crimes to spike worldwide.
Hamas Bombs Israel Again! World Yawns & Condemns Israel
February 2, 2009For a look at how the Israeli-Arab relationship was viewed 50 years ago, click below.
Nothing_New
Not much has changed in 50+ years, has it?
Hamas has now broken the truce, murdered an Israeli (Arab) soldier, blown the legs off another, and is presently bombarding the Israeli city of Ashkelon with Iranian-supplied Grad missiles. The world outside the USA is silent about Hamas (as it is whenever Arabs kill Jews or Arabs kill Arabs), but urges Israel in the strongest of terms not to fight back. Somehow it’s fine for Arabs to kill but not fine for Jews to defend themselves?
Perhaps it’s unseemly to try to protect one’s children from death and one’s country from annihilation. President Obama understands.

RESPECT: The Key to Obama Diplomacy
January 28, 2009Whether it’s Republicans, Christian Evangelicals, Arabs, Muslims, Palestinians, or Persians, Obama’s using respect as a weapon of diplomacy. He’s going above and around the leaders of these groups (from James Dobson to Al Qaeda, from Hamas to Ahmanidejad) and directly to the people behind them in an attempt to cleave the moderates from the extremists.
From his first interview on Al Arabiya to his inviting Rick Warren to deliver the Inaugural, from his reaching out to Iran to his reaching out to Republicans, Obama is trying to weaken his adversaries and enemies through an unusual weapon: RESPECT.
