Brokaw compares Israel to the NAZIs

The only word for this is "Unbelievable."



Powerline states the following:

Much has been made of President Obama's "on the other hand" transition, in his speech yesterday, from the Holocaust to the travails of the Palestinians. Some thought that he implied a kind of equivalence. But the appalling Tom Brokaw reminded us that it could have been worse when he asked Obama about his visit to Buchenwald on the Today Show this morning:

BROKAW: What can the Israelis learn from your visit to Buchenwald? And what should they be thinking about their treatment of Palestinians?
Unbelievable. Obama, to his credit, squelched the analogy:

OBAMA: Well, look, there's no equivalency here.

Eurovisión: There must be another way – Noa and Mira (Israel)


Noa and Mira - There must be another way.



Eurovision is a singing contest among most of the countries of Europe. When Eurovision is on, the entire continent of Europe becomes fixated to their television sets. I still remember when Mocedades won Eurovisión in 1973 with its song Eres Tú. In 1973, Spanish was never heard on American radio stations, but a disc jockey heard the song, played it and for several weeks it was one of the most requested songs on the radio.

Mocedades - Eurovision 1973


This week on Spanish television (TVE) which only Dish Network offers, television viewers can watch Eurovisión. This year Eurovisión is taking place in Moscow, Russia. If you are able to watch the event, you should. The finals will be Saturday.

I was struck by one of the songs which I believe deserves mention. The song is entitled "There must be another way" from Israel interpreted by Noa and Mira. The song is sung in three languages, Hebrew, Arabic and English. Noa said she could not face the murder of Yitzah Rabin the prime minister of Israel who was assassinated on November 4, 1995 by a radical right-wing Jew who opposed the signing of the Oslo Peace Accords. Since then Noa could not ignore politics in her songs.

I do not believe there will ever be peace in Israel because the animosity between the Jews and Arabs date back to the time of Noah. Arabs are taught to hate Jews from birth, but that is another story. The song is still well written and well performed. There must be another way says it all. In my opinion, it is one of the best songs of Eurovision this year even though I always vote for Spain. (I may be a little biased.)
Talking with Noa and Mira after the semi-finals


This youtube video of the Spanish series Cuéntame cómo pasó (Spanish)gives an idea of the euphoria that captivates the European continent during Eurovision. This is when Massiel won the Eurovision contest for Spain with her song "La La La" in 1968.

Obama on Israel

The truth comes out about Obama's true feelings on Israel.

http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=550

“I remember personally introducing him onstage in 1999, when we had a major community fundraiser for the community center in Deheisha refugee camp in the occupied West Bank,” he recounted. “And that’s just one example of how Barack Obama used to be very comfortable speaking up for and being associated with Palestinian rights and opposing the Israeli occupation.”


Hugh Hewitt states it quite succintly on Trinity Church

Senator Obama's church has a wonderful reputation for providing services for many among Chicago's urban poor, but those services clearly take place in the context of a political environment very hostile to Israel.

Ortega's new buddy



The Marxist-Socialist anti-semite and the newly elected Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega met with Ahmadinejad. He boasted with Ahmadinejad that "Israel was a created state." Of course, Ahmadinejad doesn't recognize the holocaust. Let's not forget the pogroms against the Jews that occured decades earlier in Russia that started the political movement "Zionism." Israel was barren before the Jews emigrated to Israel. Iraq was also a created state. Can anyone guess to which direction Nicaragua is headed?

In "El Nuevo Diario" Carlos Tünnermann Bernheim writes (translation below Spanish) in his article "El futuro del país no puede ser regresar al pasado" or "The future of the country cannot be to return to the past." http://www.elnuevodiario.com.ni/2007/06/13/opinion/51116

Ahora, nuevamente, pareciera que se cierne el peligro de ingresar en otra confrontación, por la manera como se está manejando nuestra política exterior y los acuerdos que firma el Presidente, que incluyen no sólo cooperación económica sino también política...

Now, once again it seems the danger of joining another confrontation is hovering over us, by the way our foreign policy is being managed and from the agreements our president is signing, which include not only economic cooperation but also political cooperation...


It does seem Nicaragua is going backwards. When Ortega took power in 1979, he shut down the major newspaper of Nicaragua, "La Prensa." which at the time was anti-sandinista. I wonder how long it will take before Ortega starts censuring the press like his friend Hugo Chavez.

Ortega only won with a 38% margin, far from a mandate. And it was only through backroom deals that he only needed a 38% margin to win. From the blogs in Nicaragua, and the posts to particular articles, one gets the feeling, that the Nicaraguans are scared. They see what path Ortega is taking in Nicaragua, and they see visions of the past. In the previous election, Ortega's opposition placed banners that read, "Remember the past." The problem is much of the electorate was too young or not of voting age to remember the past. So far, it does not look good for Nicaragua.

We can thank Jimmy Carter for both of these despots, Ortega and Ahmadinejad. It was Carter who didn't look at the hostage crisis as an act of war, and instead of invading Iran, he let the hostage crisis drag on for 444 days, and it was Carter who was responsible for Ortega's rise to power in 1979 by removing support from the Somoza regime and giving support to the Sandinistas. But, what can you expect? Liberals love cozing up to dictators, and everything to them is a "police action." They don't even think that a "war on terror" exists. The planned attacks on Fort Dix and JFK airports were concoctions drummed up by the Bush administration.

The only thing that will convince the liberals will be perhaps a nuclear bomb detonated in a couple major cities, but then again that might not even wake them up.

Just one last statement, "Bush close the borders!" Pay attention! This is a national security issue.
