The former Chairman of perhaps the most notorious mosque in the U.S. sits on the Board of an organization that has received 501(c)(3) tax exempt status. Bassam Estwani, who led the Dar al-Hijrah mosque for years prior to 9/11 and who welcomed Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi into the mosque, as reported by Shoebat.com [see photo here] is listed as a member of the Board of Directors for a group identified as Mercy Without Borders. The Tax ID is listed as 45-5259026.

As the IRS scandal, which involves the targeting of law-abiding conservative groups and the awarding of tax-exempt status to stealth jihadists, continues to unfold, it is becoming obvious that the groundwork for such an egregious disparity began years ago – in the Clinton White House. As recently uncovered photos reveal [click here], Estwani is an extremely heavy hitter for the Muslim Brotherhood in America.

COP: It's Hard to See Racism When You're a Liberal

Sultan Knish

ars ago, Newsweek's glossy cover asked "Is Your Baby Racist?" The baby looking back at supermarket shoppers, airline passengers waiting for their flight and patients in the dental office had blue eyes.

The labeling of racists as white has itself become a racial stereotype. And it's not an accidental stereotype.

Behind the left's support for affirmative action is the belief that white racism is the only kind of racism that exists. Black racism they insist is really called "reverse racism" and is a myth made up by white people.

It's not that the left believes that affirmative action isn't racist. It's that it believes that there is no such thing as racism against white people. Like the Knockout Game or white students who qualify on merit but can't get into college because of racial diversity quotas; it’s an invalid category. A myth.

And if it's a myth, then there's nothing wrong with a little racial violence or a few racial preferences. 

Iran: Official Responsible for Evin Prison Raid Promoted to Head of Tehran Justice Department

Authorities have denied allegations that prison guards committed the assault.

Last week, Golamhossein Esmaili sent over 100 members of Iran's Security Services to beat prisoners in Ward 350 of Evin Prison, where prisoners accused of political crimes are held, after the prisoners asked to be present while their possession were searched. Previously during "inspections," possessions had disappeared.

A few days after the beatings, after which some men needed hospitalization and 32 others were sent to solitary confinement, beaten again with metal rods on the way, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported on April 23 that Asghar Janangir would replace Gholamhossein Esmaili as Head of Prisons, and that Golamhossein Esmaili would be promoted to head of the Tehran Justice Department.
Jahangir is described as a close adviser to Ayatollah Sadegh Amoli, a cleric who is the head of the government's judiciary branch.

No Arabs few Muslims in the "Holy Land" in 1695‏

Avi Goldreich
(Translated from the Hebrew by Nurit Greenger.)
The time machine is a sensation that nests in me when I am visiting Mr. Hobber old books store in Budapest, Hungary. Hobber learned to know my quirks and after the initial greeting and the glass of mineral water (Mr. Hobber is a vegan) he leads me down the stairs to the huge basement, to the Jewish “section.”
The Jewish section is a room full of antiquity books on subjects that Mr. Hobber sees to be Jewish. Among the books there are some that are not even worthy their leather binding. However, sometime, one can find there real culture treasure. Many of the books are Holy Books that may have been stolen from synagogues’ archives: Talmud, Bible, Mishnah, old Ashkenazi style Siddur, and others. Customarily, I open them to see who the proprietor is; who was the Bar Mitzvah boy who received the book two hundred years ago and to whom did he pass the book at the end of his days. It is simply curiosity.
Many of the books are written in the German language. They are books of Jewish rumination written by Christians or assimilating Jews. Sometime one can find a hand written Talmud volume that is very expensive; thousands of Euros, set in the specially aired cabinet. Hobber knows their value.

ECI Statement: Time for Kerry to Go

Posted by Noah Pollak 5pc on April 28, 2014 · Flag

Today the Emergency Committee for Israel released the following statement on Secretary of State John Kerry's use of the term "apartheid state" to threaten Israel:

On Friday, Secretary of State John Kerry raised the specter of Israel as an "apartheid state." Even Barack Obama condemned the use of this term when running for president in 2008.
Yet this was no gaffe. Secretary Kerry's musings on the Jewish state's dire future have become a regular feature of his public remarks. His latest prediction follows other statements in recent months that have in effect threatened Israel -- never the Palestinians -- with a list of disasters should his diplomatic efforts fail: violence, isolation, delegitimization, boycotts -- and now "apartheid."

North Korea's third illegal nuclear test on February 12, 2013, was followed by increased international sanctions, that prompted escalating threats from North Korea to make nuclear missile strikes against U.S. allies, South Korea and Japan, and the mainland United States.  President Obama denied that North Korea could deliver on these threats, claiming that North Korea does not yet have nuclear armed missiles--despite assessments to the contrary by DIA, CIA, and NATO.

Yom Ha’Shoah, Transcends Yom Kippur

The real meaning of the word Holocaust
Thank you Nurit Greenger

As the years pass and the Holocaust has fewer remaining eye witnesses, my thinking of what happened and subsequently, what our response now needs to be is becoming clearer.

This year, for the first time, the Iranian American Jewish Federation (IAJF), in Los Angeles, held an official Holocaust memorial commemorating “Past, Present & … NEVER AGAIN - a multicultural multimedia presentation and discussion on Holocaust & Iran’s place during the Holocaust.”

Holocaust Remembrance Day, April 27, 2014


The last time I visited Yad Vashem was with the Prime Minister of Canada
Stephen Harper, a great friend of Israel and the Jewish people. We went
through the exhibition rooms which present heartbreaking documentation of
the destruction of European Jewry.

Today in my office, I met Felah, an 82 year old Holocaust survivor. It was
important to her to tell me on this day of all days how her memories as a
child of seven who was forced to leave her two year old sister behind to
die, how those memories are always with her. She told me, "I don't remember
what happened yesterday or the day before that, but as is the way of
memories from that age, I remember the tearing, sad eyes of my two year old
sister".

Their Memory Lives On – Three Stories of Bravery and Survival

Israel Defense Forces

As we commemorate the memory of the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, we make certain to share to the anecdotes of our survivors. Here are the stories of three courageous survivors who are now the proud grandparents of IDF soldiers.

Betty Gelernter - The Invisible Girl

Betty recounted her vibrant story alternating between laughter at amusing memories and uncontrollable tears at the mention of her most painful moments. For her, the memories are still clear.

“I always knew that my grandmother was a holocaust survivor,” said Nadav Nalishkevitch, Betty’s grandson. “No one sat me down and told me. I just knew that she hid in order to escape the Nazis.”

“I think my grandmother’s story gave me the understanding of how important this country is. I always believed wholeheartedly in what we do in this country, and that’s why I wanted to enlist as a combat soldier,” explained Nadav, who serves aboard a Dvora, an Israeli battleship. “Being a soldier means doing what I believe in.”

Betty was born in Paris in 1937. Her parents had already left Austria where they had witnessed the horrors of Nazism, and decided to move again, leaving Paris for the Creuse.

By 1941, Betty and her brother Roger were living in hiding. They had assumed new identities and were separated from their parents, as they were transported from place to place. During the first years of the war, they were placed in foster homes.

In a hoarse voice, Betty described her very first memory. "One day at the home, we were all taken out to the courtyard. The French police arrived to choose Jews. They took away two young boys. Their names are fixed in my memory: Gaston and Rutegnem. When I arrived at Israel’s Holocaust museum several years later, the first thing I did was register their names.” Betty paused for a few seconds and as tears brim in her eyes. "I still remember. They were taken and I was shocked and scared. I was so scared. "

In 1942, Roger and Betty’s father fled Beaune-La-Rolande after hearing that Jews were being deported to death camps. At that the time, the children were in Montauban, a base of the Austrian Socialist Party, with their mother. Betty was placed in a convent for several years until deportations of children began.

“Throwing Up My Hands”

How much can one write about the moribund “peace process”?  (Please read through, as I move to another very important subject.)

 

There is only one piece of good news regarding the “peace process”: Netanyahu and the Security Cabinet came through. After a prolonged meeting on Thursday regarding the appropriate response to Abbas’s rapprochement with Hamas, this  announcement was released by the Prime Minister’s Office (emphasis added):

 

"The Cabinet today unanimously decided that Israel will not negotiate with a Palestinian government backed by Hamas, a terrorist organization that calls for Israel's destruction...

“In addition, Israel will respond to unilateral Palestinian action with a series of measures.”
According to one Israeli political source, cited by YNet: "The moment they announced that they were becoming one body, negotiations became impossible. Abbas has gone a step too far. There will be no political contacts with the Palestinians.”

Abbas: 'Not a single Israeli' in future Palestinian state

By REUTERS

PA president says would agree to international presence in the West Bank, but not toe Israeli settlers, security forces.

CAIRO - Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas laid out his vision on Monday for the final status of Israeli-Palestinian relations ahead of peace talks due to resume in Washington for the first time in nearly three years.
Abbas said that no Israeli settlers or border forces could remain in a future Palestinian state and that Palestinians deem illegal all Jewish settlement building within the land occupied in the 1967 Six Days War.

The forceful statements appeared to challenge mediator US Secretary of State John Kerry's hopes that the terms of the talks, scheduled to begin Monday night over dinner, be kept secret.
"In a final resolution, we would not see the presence of a single Israeli - civilian or soldier - on our lands," Abbas said in a briefing to mostly Egyptian journalists.
"An international, multinational presence like in Sinai, Lebanon and Syria - we are with that," he said, referring to United Nations peacekeeping operations in those places.

Europe: Jewish Life 'Unsustainable' Due to Rising Anti-Semitism

Yoni Kempinski

President of the European Jewish Congress Dr. Moshe Kantor spoke Sunday about the fact that Jews feel less welcome and more insecure in large parts of Europe during the release of the findings regarding the situation of anti-Semitism worldwide in 2013.

Kantor was speaking at a press conference where the annual findings for 2013 were released by The Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry and the Moshe Kantor database for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and Racism at Tel Aviv University, in cooperation with the European Jewish Congress.

Results from the 2013 survey show that anti-Semitic attacks are growing in their intensity and cruelty. The number and type of violent attacks against Jews and Jewish institutions is worsening.

Hamas is the same Hamas

Boaz Bismuth

Iran on Saturday congratulated the Palestinian people on the "anti-Zionist" reconciliation agreement that was reached between Hamas and Fatah. Does Iran see things that our politicians and commentators are missing?

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas destroyed the negotiations with Israel, even though he promised his people a state, which, he should be reminded, can only be received from Jerusalem, not Gaza. Abbas should have done everything possible to extend the talks with Israel. This was a joint interest he shared with Israel and the Americans. But Abbas chose Hamas.

Israel gears up to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day

SAM SOKOL

The commemoration of the six million European Jews murdered by the Germans will commence with torch lighting ceremony attended by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, President Shimon Peres and other senior officials at the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum in Jerusalem.

On Sunday evening and Monday Israelis will mark Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day with memorials across the country. The commemoration of the six million European Jews murdered by the Germans will commence with torch lighting ceremony attended by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, President Shimon Peres and other senior officials at the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum in Jerusalem. Chief Rabbis Yitzhak Yosef and David Lau, as well as Lau’s father, Israel Meir Lau, himself a former chief rabbi and chairman of the Yad Vashem Council, will also be present.

Six Holocaust survivors are slated to light torches, each representing one million victims. Following the opening ceremony, whose theme this year is “Jews On the Edge 1944: Between Annihilation and Liberation,” Yad Vashem will hold a symposium on Holocaust remembrance in Israel at Tel Aviv’s Habimah Theater.

Yom HaShoah this year comes only weeks after Frazier Glenn Miller, an elder white supremacist, killed three people at a Kansas Jewish Community Center. As he was taken away by police following the shooting, the former Klansman shouted Heil Hitler. The memory of the Holocaust has been at the center of several political disputes this year, with Ukrainians and Russians trading barbs of antisemitism and unknown actors urging Jews in Eastern Ukraine to register themselves.

Letter to the Editor:Abbas Had Already Made Successful Talks Impossible‏

Please consider the following letter for publication in The Boston  Globe. 

Thank you.

     To the editor:   If David Greenfield ("With Hamas in Palestinian coalition, Mideast talks  impossible," April 26) is correct in his assertion that Mahmoud Abbas'

  latest reconciliation agreement with Hamas should dash any hope for  progress towards a Palestinian Arab-Israeli peace agreement, one has to  wonder why anyone had any hope in the first place. After all, just as  Greenfield pointed out the Hamas charter states, "there is no solution  for the Palestinian question except through Jihad," the still unchanged  PLO charter asserts "armed struggle is the only way to liberate

 Palestine" and the Fatah charter similarly states "armed struggle is a  strategy and not a tactic" while setting forth the goal of the  "eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural  existence."

---

   Besides his role as the "moderate" president of the Palestinian  Authority, Abbas also leads those two terrorist organizations. He also,  just a few short weeks ago, told President Obama he would not sign an  agreement ending the conflict with Israel. He has also acknowledged a  peace agreement would have been signed long ago had he been willing to  exhibit some flexibility, rather than clinging to the same outrageous  demands Yasser Arafat was making back in 1993.

  If President Obama is going to take Geoffrey Lewis' advice in the same  issue of the Boston Globe, "Time for an Obama peace plan," our  leadership should end the counterproductive tradition of trying to see  how far it could get Israel to compromise its rights and its security to  appease the uncompromising Arabs. This path has only rewarded and fed  Palestinian Arab intransigence. Instead, we should put forth a fair  proposal, including a reasonable distribution of the disputed territory  avoiding the creation of additional refugees.

  Sincerely,

The 31-year-old Israeli filed a criminal complaint, according to the daily BZ newspaper. The paper titled its article ”Anti-Semitism: Punched in the face because he is Israeli.”

Bet MSM didn't report this: IDF Doctor Saves Life of Month-Old Palestinian Baby

Israel Defense Forces

Last night, in the Palestinian village of Beitin near Ramallah, a Palestinian baby started to choke in her home. The mother brought the baby to an IDF checkpoint, where a IDF doctor saved the baby’s life.

Last night, a tragedy nearly happened to a Palestinian family from the village of Beitin--their youngest daughter, a month-old baby, began to choke while playing with her ​​sister. Her troubled mother ran to the checkpoint seeking help, and an IDF officer from the division noticed the panicking mother with the choking infant in her arms. The officer immediatly called the nearest IDF doctor. Within a few minutes, Sec. Lt. Ben Tzanani and his team were at the scene and saved the baby’s life.

“I got a phone call about a baby choking, and so I called up my medical team, and my commandor gave me a ride,” said sec. Lt. Tzanani. “Me and my medical team were first on the scene. I asked the family to bring the baby to our ambulance and I started to check her vitels."

Time for the gloves to come off

By Gil Solomon, INN
The Obama-brokered “peace talks” have fallen in a heap due to three main issues.
1. The unrelenting demands by an enemy that did not enter the talks in good faith and which to this day continues with the indoctrination of its population to hate the Jews and Israel.
2. The unrelenting concessions demanded by a US administration which on many occasions could have been taken for the mouthpiece of the Palestinian Authority (PA).
3. The realization – finally having sunk in to diehard Israeli leftists – that indulging the PA’s never ending claims and fantasies any further would mean national suicide.

Defying the Obama-inspired “talks” by refusing to release the third batch of murderers gives hope that Israel has had enough and is finally getting up off its knees.

So far, the Palestinian negotiating tactic has been to get concessions, then cut off talks and 'start where we left off.'

Abbas Speaking - Photo by AP

As prime minister, Ehud Olmert met 36 (or was it 37?) times with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and couldn’t reach an agreement with him. But that didn’t stop him from saying in a recent interview on Channel 2 that he’s certain Abbas is a partner for an accord.
Olmert was prepared to go further than any other Israeli leader in meeting the Palestinians’ demands, including on the issues of Jerusalem, the Jordan Valley and territorial exchanges; he offered to evacuate 70,000 settlers as well as make a humanitarian gesture allowing 5,000 Palestinian refugees (or their descendants) to return. This underscored his belief in the need for Israel to make a painful compromise, and given his own political past, his courage and determination was especially admirable.
