M Calls Al Jazeera a Homeland Security Threat

http://us-mg5.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=35h2r57m5vp4b#mail

^{In the wake of Al Jazeera’s $100 million payoff to former Vice President Al Gore, Accuracy in Media is urging a congressional probe into the controversial operations of foreign propaganda channel Al Jazeera on American soil. Cliff Kincaid, Director of the AIM Center for Investigative Journalism, said, “It is time for the House Homeland Security Committee under its new chairman, Rep. Michael McCaul, to examine how Al Jazeera’s anti-American programming is seeking to gain a dangerous foothold in the United States through the acquisition of Al Gore’s Current TV cable channel.”

The mysterious transaction reportedly involves a $500 million deal with $100 million of that going to Al Gore personally.

And like it or hate it, it is really effective,” she said."^{[5].." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera}}

The main reason is to demonstrate against the company and the Muslim that we are fighting back. They understand only cancellation action (money).

When will the media notice that al-Jazeera America is the Muslim Brotherhood channel?

By Diana West

"Al-Jazeera America": The very name gives me the heebie-jeebies. What does Al-Jazeera have to do with America?

Everything, if the cheers and happy talk of the American press corps are any measure. Entranced, media critics have greeted the rollout of "AJA" as that of just another news company, not the propaganda arm of monied Qatari despots. But no matter how many American journalists "anchor" Al-Jazeera America's news desks, a 24/7 Muslim Brotherhood channel is now beaming into living rooms across the country. There is no changing the fact that Al-Jazeera's leading personality is the Muslim Brotherhood cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi.

In dispensing Islamic clerical wisdom, Qaradawi has called for the murder of U.S. soldiers and Jews. Earlier this year on his own popular Al-Jazeera show, Qaradawi also affirmed the Islamic penalty for "apostasy," or leaving Islam: death. Qaradawi, meanwhile, isn't just a big man with the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Jazeera. He is also a prized personage in Qatar. In a public ceremony in June, Qatar's new emir, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, "planted a kiss on Al Qaradawi's head and then his shoulder," Gulf News reported.

But you could have fooled the U.S. press corps. The headlines this week read like Al-Jazeera press releases: "Al Jazeera America Promises a More Sober Look at the News" (New York Times); "Al Jazeera Promises Meatier News" (Associated Press). "To be sure, the network has a handsome look," The Washington Post critiqued.

NPR is about as close as we get to hard-hitting on the network's launch, which is already a bad sign. "Critics say Al-Jazeera will have trouble shaking its image in the U.S. at least, as a news source with terrorist ties," Celeste Headlee said by way of introducing Brian Stelter, the media reporter for The New York Times. Was she talking about Al-Jazeera's terrorist tilt -- or maybe the 2008 on-air birthday party Al-Jazeera threw for Palestinian terrorist Samir Kuntar, who in 1979 killed four Israelis, including a 4-year-old girl whose head he bashed against a rock until she was dead?

We don't know. "Terrorist ties" don't come up again.

"This is going to be a straightforward, down the middle, just-the-facts-ma'am style of television news," Stelter explained. Of course, if terrorism didn't come up in the NPR interview, the "diversity" of the on-air talent did. Stelter said, "One of the (Al-Jazeera America) primetime anchors, Joie Chen, said to me when I interviewed her last week, 'I would challenge you to find any television news operation that's more diverse than we are.'"

The perfect metaphor for all of the skin-deep analysis.

This latest installment in the long fall of American journalism began last year when Al Gore sold his Current TV network for $500 million to Al-Jazeera -- instead of to Glenn Beck. The price tag, of course, was even higher than the $400 million the last emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al Thani (father of the Qaradawi-kissing new emir) pledged to Hamas, also last year. But who's counting -- at least in the media?

Beneath any veneer of luxury, Qatar is a brutal dictatorship where a poet who criticized the emir was sentenced to life in prison. Al-Jazeera's coverage of the sentencing, by the way, was practically non-existent. (The poet's sentence was later commuted to 15 years.) Naturally, emirate-owned media protect the emirate. Come to think of it, it's against Qatari law to criticize the emirate or Islam. Meanwhile, it is a 21st-century fact that tiny Qatar spends large sums of money to combat its image problem in the rest of the world. It spends even larger sums on war to shape the world itself. Al-Jazeera America and Hamas, in other words, are only part of the picture.

Other attempts to buy influence would include donations to the Clinton Foundation (between $1 and $5 million, as of 2008) and the Brookings Institution (between $2.5 and $5 million in 2012 alone).

War is far more expensive.

In Libya and in Syria, we have seen influxes of Qatari cash adding up to billions of dollars to bankroll not "seasoned" American anchors but al-Qaida-linked jihadists. In Egypt, Qatar has backed Muslim Brother Mohammed Morsi from the start. Such interventionist advocacy, of course, meshes perfectly with President Obama's support for these same "Arab Spring" movements -- part of the reason Americans don't seem to know which end is up anymore.

I'm sure Al-Jazeera America will be happy to explain.

Subject: Cable TV's NEW Channels...

Please call COMCAST Cable TV at 1-800-266-2278 and CANCEL your cable TV subscription!

COMCAST CABLE TV is now carrying the Al Jazeera Media Network, a TV network based in Qatar.

Qatar, a sponsor of Islamic terrorism, is now broadcasting "Al Jazeera America", 24 hours a day, 7 days a week inside millions of American homes.

"Al Jazeera America" (listed as AJAM) was launched in the U.S. August 20th and is now being broadcast nationwide by COMCAST CABLE TV, DIRECT TV, DISH NETWORK, VERIZON and several smaller cable TV providers.

Time Warner Cable TV is not carrying the Al Jazeera Network but a spokeswoman for Time Warner said that the company is already in active discussions with Al Jazeera.

AT&T CABLE TV is the ONLY cable TV company refusing to carry the Al Jazeera Media Network!

Because of their decision, AT&T is now being SUED by the Al Jazeera conglomerate.

On August 1st, COMCAST also quietly added the "Pivot" network to their viewing lineup.

Pivot is a new 24 hour/day cable TV network targeting the "Millennial Generation" - young people aged 15 to 34 years old.

Executives at Pivot say it provides entertainment to "inspire and accelerate social change", while the company's president states, "The company is dedicated to creating lasting, sustainable change through the power of storytelling and now we're bringing that to TV".

Pivot's lineup of shows includes daily (and oft repeated) episodes of "LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE", a situation comedy about a group of fun loving, comical, peaceful and thoroughly Westernized Muslims living in a fictitious town somewhere out on the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada.

In this idyllic, fictitious Canadian paradise (ironically named "Mercy"), town residents (Muslims and infidels alike), gather together daily in "Fatima's Café" to sip coffee and Coca Cola, down burgers and fries (no pressure cookers found in Fatima's place), while working happily together on such family friendly, "fun" events like

"ISLAMA-PALOOZA", a city wide celebration of all things Islamic.

Apparently the inhabitants of Mercy never attended the Arab Festival in Dearborn, Michigan!

Other shows currently being aired on Pivot are "Noble Exchange" and "Long Way Down", two programs showcasing Africa, activists, and socialist thought.

"Penny Revolution", is a smarmy attempt to persuade Millennials to part with their spare change and effect "social change" world wide.

A serial documentary going by the name of "Jersey Strong", attempts to show the world that "unconventional families" are indeed valid and beautiful.

Family number 1: Two lesbian domestic partners living in pseudo wedded bliss while trying to run a law firm in New Jersey.

Family number 2: Who says that a former Crip and a current Blood gang banger, can't lovingly mentor/parent children who also happen to be members of opposing rival gangs?

Not Pivot of course...

Brady Bunch eat your heart out!

Adding to the line up is a gender bending talk-reality show starring Meghan McCain (daughter of Sen. John McCain) who will highlight issues facing the LGBT community.

Pivot promises to be heavy on documentaries and socially conscious movies (they gave us the Al Gore flick, "An Inconvenient Truth").

Pivot also airs more mundane programming like, "Friday Night Lights and "Farscape."

Abraham Lincoln stated, "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Networks like Al Jazeera America and Pivot are helping to destroy our culture, our children and our future as a freedom loving people.

Please alert your readers to these new cable TV channels and ask everyone to call Comcast Cable TV (1-800-266-2278) and CANCEL their cable TV subscriptions.

Be sure to tell COMCAST that you are canceling your cable TV subscription because they now carry the Al Jazeera and Pivot networks.

AT&T cable TV subscriptions start at $29.99 per month!

There is strength in numbers and when companies like COMCAST begin to lose money, they sit up and take notice.

If enough people cancel their cable TV, Comcast (and other cable TV providers) will drop networks like Al Jazeera and Pivot form their line up.

The IDF’s Minorities in Numbers and Pictures

In honor of IDF Diversity Week, we present diversity through numbers and pictures. Each year, more and more Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bedouin and immigrants from around the world take on the responsibility of defending Israel.

MUSLIMS:

Muslim Arab Israelis are not required to draft in the IDF, but there are many who volunteer. In 2013, there were over 200 Muslims serving in the IDF and over 300 in the reserves.

Bedouins:

Bedouins are nomadic Muslims who were in Israel when modern borders were set in place and are now considered Israeli citizens. They are not required to draft but a growing number choose to enlist. In 2012, there were over 1,400 Bedouin Muslim soldiers doing regular IDF service and almost 1,500 in the reserves.

Are you aware that in 2013, Middle class taxes go up-significantly?

In January of next year, the federal income tax rate for middle-class taxpayers is scheduled to rise from 25 percent to 28 percent, and the payroll tax is scheduled to rise from 13.3 percent to 15.3 percent… This drives the marginal tax rate based on the aforementioned three taxes to 48.12 percent. Add in state and local property, corporate, excise, and other state and local taxes, and the percentage of each additional dollar that is taxed hovers around 50 percent… When half of each additional dollar earned is taxed away, taxpayers experience a disincentive to start businesses or expand existing ones. This leads to fewer jobs being created.

Why is HAMAS Inside Tampa Schools?

Clare Lopez

Kelly Miliziano, who teaches history classes at Steinbrenner High School in the Tampa, Florida area apparently thinks it’s perfectly OK to invite a senior official of a HAMAS-affiliated organization into her classroom to discuss Islam with her students. According to local media reports, not only has this been going on for years, but in spite of the civil and criminal proceedings that could result from such reckless negligence, the Hillsborough County school superintendent, Mary Ellen Elia, and the chairman of the school board, Candy Olson, also expressed approval for students under their responsibility to be exposed repeatedly to guest speaker, Hassan Shibly, who is the Executive Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the Tampa area.

Did You Know... Ignoring the Call to Islam will Bring Jihad

‘Conquest through Da’wa [proselytizing] that is what we hope for. We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America! Not through sword but through Da’wa.’
-- Yousef al-Qaradawi , Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader The Arabic word ‘Da’wa’ means the “call to Islam.” But do not think that Da’wa is the same thing as an invitation to an optional holiday event. The classical Islamic doctrine of jihad mandates that enemies must be given the opportunity to convert to Islam or pay the jizya tax before it is permissible to attack them.

Who is being discriminated-facts tell the truth

Religious bias

Hate crimes motivated by religious bias accounted for 1,409 offenses reported by law enforcement. A breakdown of the bias motivation of religious-bias offenses showed:

65.4 percent were anti-Jewish.
13.2 percent were anti-Islamic.
9.5 percent were anti-other religion, i.e., those not specified.
4.3 percent were anti-Catholic.
3.8 percent were anti-multiple religions, group.
3.3 percent were anti-Protestant.
0.5 percent were anti-Atheism/Agnosticism/etc.

On March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview

with PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. Here's what he said:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

The Arab Apartheid

Ben-Dror Yemini
In 1948, the Arab countries refused to accept the UN partition proposal and they launched a war of annihilation against the State of Israel which had barely been established. All precedents in this matter showed that the party that starts the war - and with a declaration of annihilation, yet - pays a price for it. Between 550,000 and 710,000 Arabs fled because of the war and a larger number of 850,000 Jews were expelled or fled from Arab countries (the "Jewish nakba").
Population exchanges and expulsions were the norm at that time, occurring in dozens of other conflict points and affecting about 52 million people. In all the population exchange precedents that occurred during or at the end of an armed conflict, there was no return of refugees to the previous region, which had turned into a new national state.
Only the Arab states acted completely differently from the rest of the world. Instead of assimilating the refugees, they crushed them despite the fact that they were their coreligionists and members of the Arab nation - instituting a regime of apartheid. So the "nakba" was not caused by the actual dispossession, which had also been experienced by tens of millions of others. The "nakba" is the story of the apartheid, oppression, abuse and denial of rights suffered by the Arab refugees at the hands of the Arab countries. (Maariv)

International Law and Military Operations in Practice - Col. Richard Kemp

"Islamist fighting groups study the international laws of armed conflict carefully and they understand it well. They know that a British or Israeli commander and his men are bound by international law and the rules of engagement that flow from it. They then do their utmost to exploit what they view as one of their enemy's main weaknesses. Their very modus operandi is built on the correct assumption that Western armies will normally abide by the rules, while these insurgents employ a deliberate policy of operating consistently outside international law. "

Lost Historical Moments

What Rabin’s last Knesset speech really said:repudiation of a Palestinian state

Rabin ruled out a fully sovereign Palestinian state :

“We view the permanent solution in the framework of State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority.”

Rabin ruled out a total withdrawal from Judea and Samaria and thus a return to the pre-June 1967 borders :

“The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines.”

Rabin ruled out withdrawing form the Jordan Valley:

“The security border of the State of Israel will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term.”

Rabin ruled out uprooting settlement blocs, like the Gush Katif bloc in Gaza (which was subsequently uprooted by former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon):

“The establishment of blocs of settlements in Judea and Samaria, like the one in Gush Katif.

AND

Rabin ruled out removing any settlement before coming to a full peace agreement with the Palestinians:

“I want to remind you: we committed ourselves, that is, we came to an agreement, and committed ourselves before the Knesset, not to uproot a single settlement in the framework of the interim agreement, and not to hinder building for natural growth.”

Rabin insisted on Israel retaining full security control of the borders with Egypt and Jordan, contrary to Israel’s relinquishment of the Philadelphia Corridor on the border with Egypt:

“The responsibility for external security along the borders with Egypt and Jordan, as well as control over the airspace above all of the territories and Gaza Strip maritime zone, remains in our hands.”

Correcting Oslo Myths-Part 2

3) Kuttab laments that the post-1993 Oslo process resulted in a Palestinian Authority "whose ministers and legislators are not guaranteed passage between Gaza and the West Bank ...."

Before free passage or other perquisites, PA leaders were obligated, among other things, to eliminate the terrorist infrastructure in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, end anti-Israeli, antisemitic incitement in schools, mosques, and communications media, and resolve all outstanding issues through peaceful negotiations. They met none of these commitments, sometimes bolstering terrorism and greatly increasing incitement.

4) Kuttab complains that under Oslo the PA got "lightly armed police ---- but no real sovereignty over the land or contiguity between our communities in Gaza and the West Bank."

Oslo agreements repeatedly were revised, regardless of Palestinian non-compliance, until the authorized number of police grew from 8,000 to 40,000. Though they were to be the only armed forces in the territories, Israeli estimates early in the second intifada put the number of gunmen - police, "security services," terrorists, and armed gangs - at 85,000. Their armament reportedly included not only heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, but also anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles.

Sovereignty was to be negotiated in the envisioned 1998 "final status" talks - after a five-year period of confidence-building. Palestinian leadership chronically undermined the process. Palestinian terrorism made the 1993 - 1998 Oslo period more deadly for Israelis than the 15 years preceding it.

The United States doesn't have contiguity between the lower 48 states and Alaska and Hawaii; territorial contiguity between the West Bank and Gaza Strip - that is, through the 20 miles of Israeli territory between them - was never promised and would destroy Israeli contiguity.

5) "Palestinians have been made to endure hundreds of checkpoints in the West Bank, an eight-foot wall deep in our territories, and tight Israeli control over borders."

The security barrier is not "deep in Palestinian territories," but rather encompasses less than 8 percent of Judea and Samaria, and is mostly a fence, rarely a wall; the land in question is not "our [Palestinian] territories" but disputed territory to which, according to the authors of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, Jews as well as Arabs have claims; and there are no international borders, only the 1949 armistice lines with Jordan. Under 242, borders remain to be negotiated. As for checkpoints - like the security barrier and "tight Israeli control" - Palestinian Arabs precipitated these measures themselves. No terrorism and there would be no fence or tight Israeli control and few checkpoints - like before the first intifada.

Correcting Some Oslo Myths

1) In Oslo "Israeli, Palestinian and other world leaders promised that ... Palestinian sovereignty would be solidified."

No, they didn't. The 1993 Declaration of Principles and subsequent Oslo agreements outlined a process by which final status negotiations about the West Bank and Gaza Strip would be reached. The process required an end to anti-Israel terrorism and incitement and a commitment to peaceful negotiations. The PA, Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other terrorist groups, sabotaged the process from the start.

2) "The reality is that, in defiance of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which states that it is inadmissible to occupy land by force, Palestinian territories are still under foreign military occupation."
Wrong again. Resolution 242 (1967) does note "the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war." It also affirms the right of every state in the area "to live in peace with secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force." There were no "Palestinian territories." Jordan occupied the West Bank, Egypt controlled Gaza. Israel did not have "secure and recognized boundaries," so retention of some of those territories was possible under 242. Israel is not a "foreign" military occupier in the West Bank but, pending final negotiations, the lawful military administrator as a result of a successful war of self-defense.
