Peaceful intentions? PA Honors Mother for Raising Killers, Human Rights Groups Attend
Sep 2nd
Yes, our peace partners are doing well on the first day of peace talks. The Palestinian Authority, of which Abbas is the leader, has just given an award to a woman for raising four sons who all murdered Israelis in terrorist attacks. Hey, how about that?! Oh but there’s more! From Arutz Sheva “PA Minister of Prisoners Affairs Issa Karake gave the “Shield of Resoluteness and Giving” to the mother of the Abu Hamid brothers, four of whom have been sentenced to life in prison for terrorism, in a ceremony reported by the PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida and translated by Palestinian Media More >
Peace talks: Forgive me for not drinking the kool-aid yet
Sep 2nd
We’re entering into Deja Vu land, only this time without the huge upsurge of enthusiasm and hope on the Israeli side. Let’s see, we’ve had the opening series of pretty words from the American leader (we can insert Obama in here now), Netanyahu, the Israeli leader, has spoken of seeking “a historic compromise” (see previous variations of this from Ehud Olmert, Ehud Barak, double deja vu Netanyahu in 90s, Peres, Rabin…), and some rather wishy washy nice words from the Palestinian leader, this time around Abbas (deja vu Abbas 2006, Arafat multiple times). No wild enthusiasm and hope and hundreds More >

French teacher suspended for calling the holocaust “the holocaust” and teaching too much about it
Sep 1st
A French history teacher has been suspended for calling the holocaust ‘a holocaust’ rather than using a more neutral word to describe it, teaching ‘too much’ about it, and not presenting it in an ‘objective’ light. Geez, how to objectively present the methodical genocide of more than 6 million people simply because of their religion? Oh of course, she should have been ‘objective’ and presented the Nazi’s rationale in a positive light! Tell the other side of it, of course!
Well and this makes utter sense since studies have shown that the majority of French children and young adults have never More >
10 years after the dramatic rescue and photo that started Honest Reporting
Sep 1st
The media’s bias and lies against Israel are nothing new. “On September 30, 2000, The New York Times, Associated Press and other major media outlets published a photo of a young man — bloodied and battered — crouching beneath a club-wielding Israeli policeman. The caption identified him as a Palestinian victim of Israeli brutality — with the clear implication that the Israeli soldier was the one who beat him.
That young man was, in fact, Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish student from Chicago, who was beaten within inches of his life [My note: by a Palestinian mob] before being rescued by the More >

The poll also finds that Republicans are twice as likely to be “very enthusiastic” about voting — 50 percent say so, compared to just 25 percent of Democrats.
Israelis and Palestinians will have peace when…
Sep 1st
Palestinians do not celebrate in the streets over the murder of innocent civilians. When candy is not passed out because a young woman and her unborn child were butchered, peace may be possible. Thousands of people in Gaza have joined in a celebration of the murder of innocent civilians tonight. We’ve seen this before, of course. Candy was passed out when a five year old Israeli child was killed by a qassam rocket. When terrorists killed an 81 year old woman and critically injured her 89 year old husband, flowers, candy and tailgating parties were the vogue. This is the rule, More >
At least 10 children orphaned in terrorist attack

They gave no pause at filling the body More >
