European parliament gets antisemitic caucus

January 13th, 2007

New York, NY, January 10, 2007 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today called the formation of a new far-right grouping of European Parliament members who share avowedly racist and anti-Semitic views, “a disturbing show of unity among bigots.”

The “Identity, Tradition and Sovereignty” group, whose leader, Bruno Gollnisch of the National Front in France, is currently on trial for questioning the existence of the gas chambers in the Holocaust, was cobbled together by some of Europe’s most notorious bigots to promote a racist and xenophobic agenda and outlook.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Zionist

Peace for Israel means security, and we must stand with all our might to protect its right to exist, its territorial integrity. I see Israel as one of the great outposts of democracy in the world, and a marvelous example of what can be done, how desert land can be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy. Peace for Israel means security and that security must be a reality. — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., March 25, 1968

A hotel in Sderot

January 13th, 2007

Although we are presently faced with a period of calm, it is the same period during which extreme forces are working in the Middle East — Condoleeza Rice, after a meeting with her Israeli counterpart, Tzipi Livni.

Israel needs to set up a hotel in Sderot, to put up foreign dignitaries like Ms. Rice. In the meantime, here’s another Jerusalem Post item that describes the ‘calm’ she refers to:

Four Kassams landed in the western Negev on Friday afternoon. No one was wounded and no damage resulted from any of the hits.

Near the Gaza-Israel border fence, IDF soldiers discovered a 12-kilogram bomb. Sappers detonated the device in a controlled explosion, and no one was wounded.

Another bomb was discovered In the West Bank. Sappers destroyed the 35-kg. bomb without incident. No damage was caused by either of the two devices.

In another development Friday, the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced that they had arrested on Tuesday a Palestinian suspected of perpetrating a shooting attack on an Israeli neighborhood.

14 Jewish members of Carter Center board resign

January 11th, 2007

The ADL reports that 14 members of the Carter Center’s “Board of Councillors” have resigned because of statements Carter made in the book and while promoting it. The ADL doesn’t mention it, but these board members are Jewish.

The book is not only embarrassingly biased, but Carter’s remarks about the “Jewish lobby” verge on antisemitism.

Is this only visible to Jews? Why didn’t any non-Jewish members of the board join them?
