DON'T TRUST THE LYING TWIN

By Schmoel Yitzhak

He lies with a forked tongue. -- Anonymous. 

A forked tongue has two prongs. With vipers, in particular, you don't want them near you.

When it comes to Middle East politics, one prong can be called Barack Obama and the other John Kerry.

Together they comprise the viper determine to poison the State of Israel.

Over and over again they lie with a forked tongue and, inevitably, Benjamin Netanyahu -- among others -- is paralyzed by their palaver.

What lies? 

Start with Obama's red lines; the ones which, if crossed, would produce a powerful White House response. 

Iran's nuclear noodniks crossed the line a long time ago. 

First the chief executive responded by burying his head in the oil sands. Then he pulled it out and decided to kiss the tooches of Tehran's mullahs.

Thus, when it came to Iran, the president's red line turned frighteningly white.

Was that an aberration? 

Not with this lying bozo. Remember the red line he drew in case Bashar al-Assad employed poison gas against the Syrian rebels?

When it was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt by United Nations inspectors -- among others -- that chemical weapons were being used by Assad's forces, Obama erased the red line and did what he does best -- nothing.

So, what's the lesson here; especially for Bibi? 

Don't trust the lying twins, Obama and his trusty, dusty First Lord of Mendacity, Kerry.

And what lies has Kerry spouted?

For starters, the secretary of state launched his high-falootin' round of Israeli-Arab peace talks assuring both sides that the conferences will be held with no pre-talk concessions demanded of either side; and that seemed fair enough.

Except that fair when it comes to the Arabs is equated with giving in to every single Arab demand. And, as sure as the sun rises in the East, Mahmoud Abbas announced that the Palestinians would not proceed with discussions unless Israel released what amounted to an astounding number of prisoners with blood on their hands.

It was, as the Kerry camp, likes to call it, "a goodwill gesture."

Now, in a normal, civilized world, of which the Arabs are not a part, one "goodwill gesture" would inspire another from the other side. In this case the reciprocal trade agreement should have required the Arabs to once and for all recognize Israel as the Jewish State, which it is.

Ah, but in the Lying Land of Kerry, no such goodwill gesture was forthcoming; only more demands from Abbas and more threats to quit the discussions and go running to the UN for recognition for a state that never should be acknowledged in the first place.

And with Kerry returning for yet another round of talks, the lying will continue. Rather than being even-handed, Obama's puppet will attempt to force-feed more concessions from Israel and nothing from the other side. 

Or, as Eli Hazan writes in Israel Hayom, the Palestinians have been drawing a contradictory line basically destroying everything Israel has tried so hard to build."

I completely agree with Hazan. Palestinian textbooks omit a map of Israel. Tel Aviv does not even exist as far as Arab schools are concerned. Meanwhile, Palestinians in Gaza continue to hurl missiles at Israeli cities. This is what Bibi gets for playing Mister Nice Guy.

"That (Arab) contradictory line," writes Hazan, "forces Israel to wonder and seriously question the Palestinians true intentions. It reminds us of the 1990s when Yasser Arafat would talk about peace in English and then turn around and give legitimacy to terrorism."

It's happening right now and you don't have to be hit by a Gaza-based missile to understand the point. 

"We are repeating past mistakes," Hazan correctly concludes.

Kerry and Obama disagree and that, among other reasons, is why they speak with a forked tongue.

The best thing Kerry can do this time around is draw another red line. You can be sure that if it isn't directed at harming Israel, it will disappear!

BIBI RELEASES PRISONERS -- ABBAS RELEASES VENOM

By Sig Demling

The one-sided nature of negotiations between the Arabs and Israelis never have been more apparent than in this Christmas season.

On the one hand Israel prepares to release more blood-on-their hands prisoners as a gesture of good will and in return, the intensity of venomous Jew-hating increases over the Palestinian airwaves and further increases while more Israelis are killed by Arabs.

This is the way the idiotic John Kerry "peace" process works -- Israel pays the price but gets no reward in return.

That is unless you count -- as a "reward" -- more rocketry from Gaza that continually threatens Israeli cities such as Ashkelon, Ashdod and Sderot, just to name a few.

In the very, very unlikely event that a peace pact can be negotiated, Prime Minister Netanyahu surley must be aware that absolutely none of the anti-Israel diatribes will be abated. Incitement against Israel will continue and terrorism will remain the top Arab priority. 

There's an obvious reason for that statement. For proof, you merely have to study Arab reaction to every single goodwill concession made by Israel in order to keep Kerry's peace process alive.

* Israel relinquishes Gaza and Hamas overthrows the PA. That done, Hamas declares war against the Jewish State and the Arab missile assaults never end.

* Israel endlessly releases prisoners while incitement against the Middle East's only democracy continues unabated.

* Israeli citizens innocently riding a bus barley escape an Arab terrorist's bomb meant to blow them to death. Yet a not a single word of regret -- forget about an apology -- is heard from Mahmoud Abbas. 

And while all this goes on -- and Bibi's concessions continue -- Abbas will not even concede the obvious; that Israel is the Jewish state.

The prevailing opinion among some political savants is that the PM will do virtually anything not to disturb Kerry although it has been apparent from the get-go -- and certainly obvious from the dastardly Iran sellout -- that the Secretary of State and his hypocritical president are enemies of Israel.

If you doubt that consider the fact that Kerry-Obama never utter a peep of complaint about Arabs slaying Israelis -- and doing so with virtual impunity. Never will Obama-Kerry blame Abbas for his steadfast rejection of virtually every reasonable offer made by Bibi. 

My point is that the time has come for the Prime Minister to cease and desist with prisoner releases and other Obama-forced friendship gestures which gain nothing in return.

Poliitics aside, Bibi should listen up to his Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett who minces no words about the enemy with whom peace is impossible. 

"Israel is continuing with the peace process as though there is no terror while the Palestinians are continuing the terror as though there is no peace process," says Bennett with extreme accuracy. "The claim that the Palestinian  Authority is not connected to the terror attacks is blowing up in our faces every day."

Not surprisingly, the killing of an Israeli worker along the Gaza border caused jubilation among the Hamas terrorists as did the near-bus disaster when Israelis were evacuated mere minutes before the bomb exploded.

Such sick, sinister reactions among the Gaza and West Bank Arabs should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the Palestinian educational system.

Again, Bennett has the bullseye explanation: "When you educate children in terror from the age of kindergarten, when your television broadcasts depict Jews as monsters, when even Tel Aviv is not on your maps -- then you are a terrorist."

My advice: The next time Kerry lays out his grand, fallacious plan for Arab-Israeli peace, I would read Bennett's words to the Secretary of State and then sing a chorus of the legendary Louis Jordan's tune to him:

"I Told You I Love You -- Now Get Out!"

PUT FEAR IN THE PHONIES

By Schmoel Yitzhak

This is how the political world is tilted against Israel.

Week by week more evidence is discovered about Assad's use of poison gas to subdue thousands after thousands of his foes. 

Month by month Uncle Sam and the European Union punish Assad by doing virtually nothing to stop the butchery.  

Meanwhile, all Israel does is attempt to live a peaceful life while assailed by Islamic militants on all sides. Add to that a virulently Jew-hating United Nations official whose job is to be fair to all sides; as long as one of them is not Israel.

Richard Falk, a bigot among bigots, who carries some fancy title such as United Nations Special rapporteur, believes that he's primarily being paid to attack Israel. That's his priority agenda and the reason why he should have been ousted a long ago. Yet Falk is permitted to spew his hateful remarks with virtual impunity.

Only the Dominion of Canada has had the gumption to lay it on the line with Falk, demanding his ouster -- immediately. 

By contrast we have the typically wishy-washy response from the Barack Obama camp.  vanilla, tepid and equivocal. The White House wouldn't dare demand that Falk get the boot; all we get from the State Department is fatuous rationales why it won't go that far.

Of course one never hears a discouraging word from Falk the Phony when it comes to true genocide which has been openly practiced in Syria for two years without any sign of stopping. Now can anyone explain this egregious imbalance; Israel is blamed for building homes in Judea and Samaria -- land  up for negotiation -- while Assad revs up his killing machine with impunity?

Yet, the explanation is as clear as any other phony case in which the growing world of anti-Semites will find fault with Benjamin Netanyahu if he should happen to blow his nose the wrong way.

Part of the problem is that Israel does not rebuke its tormentors as fervently -- and with high decibel count -- as I would like.

That explains why I've come to appreciate the attitude of Naftali Bennett.

There's no equivocation when he makes a point; not political correctitude from Israel's Economy and Trade Minister.

He views John Kerry's peace talks for what they are -- a bunch of ideas designed to give the Arabs a distinct advantage over Israel.

Unlike the more cautious Benjamin Netanyahu, Bennett points out that Israel's mortal enemy, Hamas, must be factored into peace talks. 

With precious sarcasm, Bennett puts it this way: "Maybe I missed the news and Hamas in Gaza recognized Israel and stopped firing rockets. Or, to put it even mored succinctly , Bennet adds that peace talks that do not include the Hamas leaders would be "a joke."

No joke is the obvious Kerry-Obama scheme to force a treaty unfavorable to Israel down Bibi's throat.

Bennett can see through the phoniness of the president and his puppet. Naftali's warning should not be ignored.

"So you'll commit suicide and relinquish our responsibility over our security because someone puts pressure on you? Ehud Barak promised everything to the Palestinians and we got one thousand dead. We were promised that Gaza would turn into Singapore and we got thousands of rockets. The result of Oslo was fifteen hundred dead."

In other words, if a peace treaty gives the Palestinians a "state," Israel will be attacked from all sides. 

And if you have any doubts about that, just re-read Bennett's straightforward appraisal of what happened after Oslo and once Israel moved out of Gaza.

Hamas wants to kill Jews; the Palestinian Authority feels likewise only with a more subtle approach.

Bibi must resist any con jobs from the White House phonies because the political world, led by Obama, is severely tilted against Israel.

JOSEPH GOEBBELS AND ROGER WATERS, BFF’S FOR LIFE

By Simon Fischler

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Joseph Goebbels

Can you see the image, a heart carved into a tree,  inside the heart the initials JG+RW for life! 

Roger Waters is anti-Semite, period! There have been numerous occasions when his comments and actions have made this obvious. 

But for too long Waters has been given carte blanche. 

To many pro-Israel activists, professors and academics are afraid to take on Waters and his fascists buddies at the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. After all if you dare to speak out against their fascist policies they will have you boycotted.

Because of the fear that Waters and co. have created they have been able to get away with spewing the most vicious Jew hating words and acting out the most pernicious of Jew-hating deeds. 

The quotes Roger Waters made to Counterpunch magazine must have made his fascist, Arab controllers happy. They would have gone straight to the heart of his soulmate, Joseph Goebbels if he wasn't dead. 

Using lies and innuendo Roger compared Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to his own love, Nazi Germany during the 1930’s. 

Unless he is downright stupid or completely ignorant to history (which we know he isn’t) Waters would have to be able to see how heinous it is to compare Israel to Nazi Germany!

He then really broke the anti-Semite barrier when he insinuated that Jews control the world media, the film and music industry and of course the banking world. 

This little juicy extract from Roger Waters could have been taken right out of the anti-Semitic bible, the  “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”. 

Is it not hypocritical of Waters to insinuate that the monstrous Jews who run Hollywood will boycott you if you dare speak against Israel (there is no movement by Jews to boycott any person or organization who supports the Palestinian cause), while he himself is calling for a boycott against the Jewish Nation? 

After these comments Waters can no longer dodge the anti-Semite bullet, whether he likes it or not!

The propaganda war that Waters has been waging against the Jewish Nation is no different from the war that Goebbels waged in Germany;  creating Adolf Hitler, the Third Reich and the plan for the extermination of Europe’s Jews through anti-Semitic propaganda and lies.  

Roger Waters is a frontman but no longer for Pink Floyd. 

Today, Roger fronts Arab Supremacy, acts as the face for modern, anti-Semitic fascism and is just another Englishmen trying to take the land of Israel away from the Jews so he can give it to the Arabs!

Roger, if Joseph Goebbels was alive today, he would be very proud of you! 

THE LYING TWINS AND THEIR GROWING NOSES

By Schmoel Yitzhak

Pinocchio -- A living puppet with the help of his cricket as his "conscience."

If Pinocchio's creator, Carlo Collodi, was around today he'd chuckle every time John Kerry delivered a speech about Israel.

"That's my boy," Collodi would say about Kerry, "the Pinocchio of today is America's Secretary of State."

There is a difference, of course. When the fictional Pinocchio told a lie his nose grew longer and longer until everybody around him could tell that he had told a real whopper. 

The puppet of Barack Obama, Kerry tells his lies with more gusto and pretension than Pinocchio ever did and without the secretary's nose even growing an inch. 

But, a lie is a lie. And just like the Arabs never an opportunity to miss an opportunity, Kerry never fails to miss an opportunity to tell a big, fat fib while his Mendacity Quotient knows no limits.

This has been more apparent in the past week during the recently concluded Saban Forum of the Brookings Institute which attracted a score of political notables eager to pontificate, including Kerry.

Since Haim Saban, the Forum's benefactor, is a major fiscal supporter of the puppeteer Obama, Kerry felt free to deliver his most consistent lie -- that negotiations with the Palestinians are closer than ever to produce a historic compromise. 

Such a statement is absurd when one considers the facts on the ground, on the Temple Mount, in the West Bank and Gaza schools. From Iran to Gaza the facts point to the puppet and his puppeteer as liars because of one indisputable fact. 

The Arabs, whether they're in Syria, Judea or Samaria, refuse to accept Israel for what it is -- the Jewish State -- and have done so forever.

In Tehran, the so-called "moderates" refer to Jews as pigs; and worse. 

In Ramallah, children are taught to hate Israel. Unfortunately, they won't find a map of Israel in their textbooks since Mahmoud Abbas long ago saw to it that kids should be taught that Israel doesn't exist.

Why would Kerry pull a Pinocchio and even suggest that a deal with Arabs can be cut?

 Because he's a lying dreamer. 

Perhaps if he would listen up to Benjamin Netanyahu's simple but insightful statement, Kerry would realize the hopelessness of his cause in dealing with Abbas, Inc.

"They (the Arabs) persistently refuse to accept the Jewish state, in any border," Bibi asserts. "The question shouldn't be, why does Israel make this demand? The question is, why do the Palestinians refuse to accept it?"

I can answer that question for the Prime Minister. Abbas, the Iranian mullahs, Assad and the myriad other Jew-haters have been encouraged to incessantly dump on Israel by the American president.

From the moment he took office and delivered his emphatically pro-Arab speech in Cairo to Obama's disastrous capitulation to Iran at the Geneva meetings, Uncle Sam's feeble leader has made endless concessions to militant Islam while putting the screws on the Middle East's only democracy.

If the marionette Kerry is a liar, his puppeteer is the biggest of them all and it all is rooted in his most infamous prevarication, "I have Israel's back."

Were that statement even a half-truth, the president would have hit back and hit back hard every time an Iranian leader uttered any one of the many genocidal statements about wiping out Israel. When the mullahs call for the destruction of Tel Aviv, Obama gets a case of lockjaw. When Iranian politicos label Jews as pigs -- and worse -- not a peep or protest can be heard from Kerry.

Critics charge that Bibi should mute his criticism of the disastrous deal cut in Geneva. Don't make me laugh.

History has proven that behind-closed doors diplomacy fails in crises such as the ones facing Israel. As was recently noted in Israel Hayom, "Seventy-five years ago the Jews tried to talk to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and that did not help the Jews of Europe."

Like the Democrat Roosevelt, the Democrat Obama and his puppet continue to ignore the lessons of history. They conveniently forget about Munich. They forget about Haj amin-al-husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who publicly convened with Hitler to exterminate European Jews.

 Neville Chamberlain at Munich proclaimed "Peace in our time" after appeasing Hitler. The British Prime Minister soon would be proven a liar and a dreamer.

Substitute Obama and Kerry for Hitler and Chamberlain and you have an excellent idea why the American propagandists have as much chance of placating the Jew-hating Arabs as Pinocchio has of running the United Nations.

INCOMPETENCE AND LYING -- WHICH IS WORSE?

By Sig Demling

I am falser than vows made in wine. -- William Shakespeare, "The Winter's Tale."

The Bard of Avon did not have either Barack Obama nor John Kerry in mind when he wrote the above lines about lying but it fits the Duplicitous Democrat Duo like hand-made gloves.

From the president's pre-election promise -- "I have Israel's back" -- to the secretary of state's underhanded, Neville Chamberlain-like dealings with the Iranians, lie is the simplest, most direct term available for those Pennsylvania Avenue charlatans.

Just three little letters -- lie -- best describe the manner in which the White House has handled its relationship with the country which so closely embodies the values and spirit of the United States; Israel.

Yet, every since Obama became president, he has successfully lied to American Jewry while deceiving Israel's leadership.

In fact there are times when the president appears to be more Arab in his thinking than Mahmoud Abbas.

But as Benjamin Netanyahu has correctly and vigorously pointed out, the more acute problem has little to do with the propped-up, relatively weak Palestinian Authority leader and everything to do with Iran's relentless march toward militant nuclear capability.

When Bibi pointed out the the threat from Tehran more than a year ago, Uncle Sam's feeble leader promised that he had a red line in mind. If the mullahs crossed that red line, America would take action. "All options -- including military -- are on the table," Obama promised.

Now, however, we have painfully discovered that the man is a sociopath; a congenital liar. His mendacity knows no bounds as more than a hundred thousand murdered Syrians learned after Obama promised action to save them if Assad employed chemical weapons. 

What multiplies the hurt -- especially to Israel -- is that the president's incompetency matches his the depth of his capacity to constantly delve into the Land of the Untruths. 

He promised his constituents a health plan to end all health plans and what have they received but a bungled mess that could better have been contrived had a bloc of kindergarten  students huddled over the formula. 

With no health plan solution in sight, White House advisors have delivered a spate of alibis that could extend from the Potomac to the Pacific. And, guess what?  Even onetime supporters of this ludicrous leader are finally getting it; they are wondering what this guy is all about.

And they come up with the same answer; Obama is a lying incompetent. 

Lying incompetent.

Take those two words and you can equally apply them to the health care mess and to the Iranian pact.

The ineptitude that has led to the failed health plan is patently obvious. It was ill-contrived -- in spite of vigorous opposition -- and pushed down the throats of American citizens. First ineptitude; then the lies.

Ditto for Iran. 

The sense of history was there for all to see. Neville Chamberlain went to Munich; appeased Adolf Hitler and the dictator then trampled as much of Europe -- while exterminating six million Jews -- as he could until the Aliies ended the horror in 1945. 

Hitler lied through his teeth and the weak-kneed British Prime Minister capitulated to every phony promise made by the Nazi.

Now the Iranians are doing likewise lying and the incompetent Obama-Kerry team -- oblivious of Munich, Chamberlain and Hitler -- have rushed through a deal that will prove an existential threat to Israel and, in time, the entire world. 

Only the very naive -- and Israel-haters -- should believe that any good can come from the Teheran carpet-sellers' promises.

Those with a sense of Munch's results can only conclude that Obama' promises are falser than vows made in wine!

ON THE ROAD TO THE NEXT HOLOCAUST

By Simon Fischler

American President Barack Obama has done what no US president before would ever think of doing: breaking America’s greatest and most moral foreign policy stance --support of Israel and the Jewish Nation in the face of constant Arab colonialist policies! 

American support for Israel has never been easy, nor has it ever been financially easy; after all, it is in direct conflict with the Arab nations control the world’s oil!

America has supported Israel because it is the morally correct position. This American stance has been in contradiction and anathema to most countries’ foreign policies, but it is an integral part of what has made America different and great.

Barack Obama has officially flushed this philosophy of defending the Middle East’s only democracy and the Jewish Nation state down the toilet! The president has sold out Israel for Iran, period.

The secret talks (emphasis on the fact that America did not make Israel aware of these back channel discussions with Iran) that led to the Geneva Negotiations are just the tip of a very devious iceberg the Obama Administration has been working on.

Obama will go down in history as the worst president to date. The harm he is inflicting on America and her allies won’t become completely visible for years. 

The policies of his administration inside of America have polarized the nation, but it is his foreign policies that will cripple America and lose her the trust of important allies from Europe, the Middle East and even Asia.

In fact, is it not interesting that China declared its new Air Defense Zone over Islands that have  been part of Japan for decades just the week after Obama forced Secretary of State John Kerry to sign the Geneva Deal?

But, as a Jew, it is his policies towards Israel that are most disturbing

Obama has given Iran the ability to create Nuclear weapons through his impotency, period. The “Munich”-like deal hatched in Geneva will do nothing to stop Iran from advancing its nuclear program. Furthermore, Iran now views Obama in the same light that Russian President Vladimir Putin sees him: as a spineless weakling who would rather curtail America’s clout than rise to the occasion and face down enemies of liberty, freedom and democratic principles.

Iran will advance in Syria and will prop up Hezbollah in its colonialist drive to dominate the Levant, continuing to arm Assad and Hezbollah with rockets and long range missiles. These bad guys will also get both chemical and tactical nuclear weapons in the future.

Eventually, because the Iranian mullahs (unlike Obama) truly believe in something -- that is the Shia tenets of the end of days, they will train those weapons of mass destruction on the Jewish people and its Nation State, Israel. When the Mullahs say they wish to destroy Israel and the Jewish Nation they are doing nothing more than admitting their hopes of finishing what Mohammad attempted when he turned on the Jewish Nation for their defiance of him as a prophet! 

When this does happen the blood of millions will be on the hands of the Obama Administration, the Democratic Party and those who blindly support the Emperor in his new clothes.

For the Jews out there who laugh at Israel and who stand against the historical and internationally ratified law granting the Jewish Nation its right to self-determination: never forget that you are no different than the Jews who laughed at those fighting for Israel in the beginning; you are no different than the Jews who said the Shoah could never happen in Europe.

Think about how many lives could have been saved and what could have happened if Neville Chamberlin and Edouard Daladier had stopped Hitler at Munich!

ISRAEL FIRST

By Simon Fischler 

The Arabs are at it again!

 Nabil Shaath, big shot in the Palestinian Authority (really just Arab colonialist association) ran his mouth off last week and all but admitted that the Arabs are not at all genuine about the American sponsored peace negotiations.

“We are committed to negotiations for a nine-month period and are waiting until all 104 prisoners are released.”

So according to Shaath, a senior official in the Palestinian Authority, the only reason why the Arabs are still sitting with Israel is to free terrorists who have killed Jews.

The fun does not end there. Here are Nabil Shaath’s thoughts on the internationally recognized law of two states for two peoples. He denounced U.N. resolutions 194 and 242, declaring them null and void when he said a Peace agreement creating a Palestinian state existing side-by-side with Israel as “unacceptable.”

Shaath was just warming up, however, as he went on to say,

“They can describe Israel itself as a state for two peoples, but we will be a state for one people. The story of “two states for two peoples” means that there will be a Jewish people over there and a Palestinian people here. We will never accept this – not as part of the French initiative and not as part of the American initiative,”

In other words, nothing has changed in over six decades! The Syrian/Jordanian Arabs pretending to be Palestinians still seek to destroy Israel and crush Jewish self-determination in the land of Israel.

Does anyone need more convincing of the colonialist, genocidal ambitions of the Arabists pretending to be peacemakers than the quotes above?

While Israel and Zionism stand for freedom, emancipation and liberty of a people; the Arab Nationalist plan called Palestinianism is based first and foremost on destroying another people’s dream of self-government. This is nothing more than the tenets of Fascist oppression!

Since this is the attitude of Israel’s “peace partner,” Israel must call off the negotiations immediately and must not release another Arab.

It is better to have no deal than a horrendous deal.

So there will be no more giving land to Arab supremacists for useless pieces of paper, or to make a spineless, American administration happy!

When it comes to the world and Israel being ostracized, there has been no evidence of a different attitude towards Israel since the start of negotiations, except for the fact the Arab colonialists have just increased their fascist incitement towards the Jewish nation. 

Being the loner is nothing new for the Jewish nation. We are better off not following the crowd; especially if the crowd is being quarterbacked by a deceitful, soulless man such as Barak Obama.

Let the lemmings of the Western World  jump of the cliff of political and national suicide.

HANUKKAH 2013

By Simon Fischler

While lighting the first Hanukkah candle with two my children last night I had a thought about this great holiday.

Hanukkah was the first recorded act of Zionism by the Jewish Nation.

We had lost our great kingdoms and had been invaded by the Assyrians. 

Now oppressed by the Hellenistic King Antiochus, we were forced to except a culture and religion that greatly contradicted the culture and traditions of the Jewish nation.

Our people, the Hebrews, Israelites or JEWS, under the leadership of the pragmatic fighters called the Maccabees rose up in OUR land, that is Israel, and defeated the imperialistic EUROPEAN client state run by the Seleucid Empire.

This piece of history is so very important for the Jewish Nation because it marks the first of many times throughout our history that the Jews have fought for their freedom and self-determination (this is what Zionism stands for) in Israel.

Hanukkah is testament to how long the Jews have been fighting to keep their little piece of land.

After losing our Kingdoms, it was the Maccabee revolt that restored Jewish government to Israel in 140 BCE. 

This festival is also a reminder that we, the JEWS, have fought for our independence long before most other nations were even born.

During Hanukkah we remember our victory over an oppressive regime that did all it could to erase the laws and culture given to our nation.

The Jews and their nation state Israel are still faced with many of the same problems that faced the Maccabees in their time!

Today our King Antiochus is a man called Omar Barghoutti. 

The President of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement promises the destruction of the Jewish Nation; he calls for wiping Israel off of the world map. 

Barghoutti and his cohorts have been calling for genocide against the Jewish Nation.

While working with fascist clients around the world this new assault and these new weapons are to be used against the civilian population of Israel.

Today's fight is against the racist anti-Semites who wish to delegitimize Israel and rob the Jewish Nation of its freedom through crooked diplomacy, incitement and downright lies.

On the other hand I guess this holiday is a lesson for Israel’s enemies, too.

For all those who seek to destroy Israel and the Jewish Nation, either with warfare or diplomacy, you would be wise to remember the story of Hanukkah. 

Hanukkah is one example of how the greatest empires -- from the Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, Crusaders, Arab Muslims, Nazi’s and Arab Nationalist -- have all attempted to steal our land and rob the history books of our place. 

The Romans went so far as to change the Name of Jerusalem to Aelia Capitolina and Judea to Palestina.

What is so important about the story of Hanukkah is that we the Jewish Nation may have lost our freedom in our land for portions of time.

We have been oppressed in our land, but we have always, eventually fought back and regained our freedom and self-determination in our land.

We must always remember this part of Hanukkah.

HAPPY HANUKKAH.

OBAMA AND KERRY -- THEY DON'T 'MIS-SPEAK,' THEY LIE

By Schmoel Yitzhak

Ever since Bill Clinton thoroughly debased, disgraced and denuded the White House with his Monica Lewinsky escapade the Democrat-dominated media has produced a spate of euphemisms for dirty words.

The anti-Israel agenda-filled mess-of-a-newspaper called The New York Times leads the way by neutralizing President Obama's endless string of lies with such sugary synonyms as mis-spoke designed to deflect criticism into the round file instead of where it belongs on the chief executive's desk.

Eventually, the president's lies catch up with him -- start with the Obamacare disaster -- and he's forced to fall back on puny apologies while his favorite editorialists try to save his lying face with more and more verbal sugar.

What the world has seen as the Obamacare failure follows a pattern and that sorry scenario is being enacted by the same inept White House advisors who have foisted an already-failed health care program on a thoroughly dismayed populace.

At least that putrid process was limited to the American borders but a similar formula now is being enacted that threatens enormous harm to Israel and other neighbors and nations throughout Europe and the Middle East.

What it amounts to is jamming a Be-Nice-To-Iran plan down the throats of a populace before the people and legislators have an opportunity to fully appraise it and denounce it in time before it comes to a vote.

That's precisely what evolved with Obamacare. Led by Obama stooge, Nancy Pelosi, and other Democratic flunkies, America's fault-ridden health care plan was pushed through despite the unalterable fact that it was riddled with errors and hellbent for disaster; a calamity which still is in the process of shattering the public's faith in its leader.

The Humpty-Dumpty president had a great fall and even the Times editorial board -- try as it might -- cannot glue him together again.

That, unfortunately, has not deterred the Pennsylvania Avenue Fools Brigade from trying the same despicable act on the international stage because -- as Clinton has proven -- there's no shame in the Democrat White House.

After secretly dealing -- behind Israel's back -- with the hostile Iranian government for over a year , the administration now is vigorously using the same technique that the Pelosi Gang employed when it came to pushing through the Obamacare catastrophe.

Any deal with the Teheran mullahs is doomed to boomerang because anyone who ever has dealt with Iranian carpet-dealers knows that they'll pull the rug out from under you once they've consummated any pact. While Iranian leaders threaten Israel with extinction and insult Jews with the vile-est language, Kerry and Obama brush aside the threats and anti-Semitism as if it never happened. 

Some friends. Some allies.

Naturally, America's Muslim president cares not one whit about the Iranian deal backfiring on Israel or any other nation. His -- and lackey John Kerry's -- interest is only to get it done and to hell with Benjamin Netanyahu and others who have pleaded otherwise.

A sensible onlooker might ask the same question that was posed to Pelosi. "What's the rush?"

The correct answer would have been, "I want to get this okayed and the rest will take care of the rest." It's called theory of fait accompli. Or, I want it done therefore -- no matter how evil it may be -- get it done.

It doesn't seem to matter to the White House that Obama's ratings among his constituents have plummeted to new lows. 

No matter. He's already a lame duck leader and he's always armed with the traditional African-American defense against his critics, "They're all a bunch of racists."

But that bit of booshwah no longer is accepted by a wising-up populace wondering how it will be further bamboozled by Obamacare.

Likewise, political analysts who see things clearly and see them whole wonder how damaging a later-to-explode Iranian deal can be from Israel to Saudi Arabia.

The parallel between the rush to push-through Obamacare and the helter-skelter nature of Mullahcare is frightening on several counts.

In Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must know by now that he has been deceived with a Capital D by the president and his secretary of state. Every concession Bibi made to Washington has exploded in his face.

Those who regularly mis-speak at the White House are pure liars and must be dealt with as such in any future talks between the Israelis and Uncle Sam.

No longer can the venomous president cleanse himself with a Times editorial for two good reasons about the Obama character:

1. He's a sneak; 2. He mis-speaks -- as in liar.

AT WAR WITH OUR "ALLY" OBAMA WHO STARTED THE BATTLE WITH ISRAEL IN THE FIRST PLACE

By Sig Demling

When it comes to Israel's vital interests, Barack Obama is about as trustworthy as a viper. Actually, B.O. (as in Bad Odor) can be relied upon less than a poisonous snake.

What's astonishing is that it has taken previously neutral observers to realize this fact of life which should have been evident years and years ago.

This delayed reaction is starkly reminiscent of the length of time it has taken for the average (non-left wing) American to understand that Uncle Sam's leader holds the Olympic record for blundering. 

And that goes for his fumbles with Obamacare all the way up to foreign relations where the White House has failed everywhere from Benghazi to Beirut -- and while you're at it, you can throw in Teheran and Tripoli.

I told you so; not yesterday, not last year but before the Democratic nominee was even voted in for his first term. What's more, I reiterated that point about a dozen times on these pages.

Why should any Jew be surprised at Obama double-crossing Israel when -- for twenty full years -- he attended a Chicago church whose preacher was, and still is, an avowed anti-semite?

Why should any Israeli be surprised at the president's record-setting appeasement of the Iranian mullahs. This was obvious from the moment he chose to open his first-term Arab-coddling with an Islam-wooing speech in Cairo before putting the skids on America's -- and Israel's -- ally, Hosni Mubarak. 

Anyone who doubts what I've said for years -- he's America's Muslim president -- merely has to consult events of the past month to really understand what Obama told a gullible AIPAC convention months ago.

"I've got Israel's back," Obama intoned to enthusiastic applause. 

Unfortunately, the AIPAC crowd -- ignoring the Chief Executive's immoral past -- didn't quite get it. What Obama meant was that, yes, he has Israel's back but he's holding a large dagger in his right hand, ready to plunge it into the back of the Middle East's only democracy. 

Alas, the dagger was inserted -- and turned a few times -- once the president and his Secretary of Stupidity John Kerry began fervently wooing Iran,  the decades-long sworn enemy of the United States. Not only did they ignore the pleas of Benjamin Netanyahu but deceptively dealt to the detriment of Israel, their only true Mediterranean ally. 

Time and again, the administration's behavior has encouraging militant Islam because if anything is true of the Arab world it is that when enemies -- such as the good old USA -- come begging for pal-ship, they are regarded as the political equivalent of the 98-pound weakling kicked around by the beach bully.

Respected political analyst Elliott Abrams, writing for the Council on Foreign Relations, succinctly summed up the Obama administration's ineptitude.

"We (America) look weak to the very officials to whom we are trying to look strong," Abrams asserts.

That's bad enough but the lies spewed by Obama, Inc. continuously rain on the volatile Middle Eastern scene like gasoline on a fire. In September the chief executive told the United Nations that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei "issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons."

But upon checking, it turns out that no such edict exists. Once again, the president lied.

Want more? During his most recent visit to Israel, Kerry blatantly lied to Bibi about concessions that would be made to the Iranians in order for America to shove an Israel-endangering agreement down the world's throat. Thankfully, the French -- hopefully, also the Saudis -- saw through the deception and at least momentarily prevented the terrible deal to be cemented. Ever on the case, Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick accurately X-Rayed the scene with these words:

"Obama has dispatched his secretary of state to threaten and deceive U.S. allies while surrendering to US foes. It is now an indisputable fact that the U.S. government may use its power to undermine its own interests and friends world wide."

Meanwhile, Kerry continues to tighten the negotiating vise on Israel while completely ignoring the machinations of Mahmoud Abbas and his Ramallah gang of liars. Worse, the PA's new strategy of systematic attacks on Israelis -- the latest, an IDF soldier murdered on a bus by a Palestinian -- continues along with endless incitement emanating from the West Bank.

"Surrounding the murderer," Bibi asserts, "is an education system, official PA newspapers, mosques and other places in Palestinian society that are full of incitement. If we want real peace the incitement has to stop."

But it won't cease and desist because Kerry's pro-Arab stand and refusal to condemn the likes of Abbas merely is encouraging a continuation of Arab attacks on Israelis.

It's now a question of whether brakes can be applied on the administration's machine that is roaring hellbent toward destroying Israel. 

One hope is the American Congress. Another is Jerusalem's decision to call out Abbas every time another murder of an Israeli takes place while pointing out the futile nature of peace talks.

And, finally, there is the possibility of an unlikely Israel-Saudi alliance to apply realistic military pressure against the nuclear mad men in Iran!

IN RESPONSE TO ISRAELI KNESSET MEMBER JAMAL ZAHALKE

By Simon Fischler

Last week, Arab supremacist and Knesset member Jamal Zahalke had this to say at a Knesset debate. 

“There is no such thing as the Temple Mount, there is only the al-Aqsa Mosque”.

Below is a little history in rebuttal to Zahalke’s racist and anti-Semitic diatribe.

Jew, here is a definition of the word from the Merriam Webster dictionary.

Jew-Pronunciation: \ˈjü\

Function: noun

Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French ju, jeu, from Latin Judaeus, from Greek Ioudaios, from Hebrew Yĕhūdhī, from Yĕhūdhāh Judah, Jewish kingdom

Date: 13th century

1 a : a member of the tribe of Judah b : Israelite

2 : a member of a nation existing in Palestine from the sixth century b.c. to the first century a.d.

3 : a person belonging to a continuation through descent or conversion of the ancient Jewish people

4 : one whose religion is Judaism

The first three definitions talk of a tribe, a people, a nation. Why? Because being a Jew meant being part of a tribe or nation long before it meant being part of a religion. 

The definition of the word or name Jew has become so important in today’s world, but why?

Because for thousands of years other nations (mostly conquerors in search of expanding their empires) have bullied, persecuted, exiled and/or mass murdered Jews. 

Jews have always existed within the borders of Israel and Jews were here long before Arabs; the archeology proves it! 

Our code of conduct which takes precedence over any other, has long been a thorn in the side of new and popular cultures. 

The Greeks enslaved and killed us because we turned our back on Greek culture. 

The Romans (White Europeans) committed the first Shoah in the Jewish Nations long history, because we rebelled against them. 

They went so far as to destroy our country and capital city, rename both of them and transplant a majority of the Jews from Israel to Rome. Truly attempting to erase us from geographical history. 

Mohammad tried to tempt us with Islam and we rebelled against his form of mind control too. 

When the Arabs invaded Israel, colonized our land, in one of the greatest acts of defilement and desecration they intentionally built the Dome of The Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount; the Jewish Nations most holy site.

Finally the German, Nazi, Third Reich with the help of Europe and the Arabs who call themselves Palestinian; attempted to extinguish the Jewish Nation completely from the world during the Shoah / Holocaust.

In all of these cases above Jews were persecuted and killed because they were the Jewish nation – a people apart, with its own code of conduct, no matter where they lived -- not the Jewish religion. 

We were the nation to reject or rebel against the new, in-culture, then we became the nation that killed Christ (A Jew). Today’s revisionists try to deny, whitewash or ameliorate most of these irrefutable historical truths.

The word Jew comes from the Greek word for Judea, the Jewish Kingdom that was an integral part of the Israelite Kingdom which was around long before the Arabs left the sand dunes of Arabia. 

In case MK Zahalke forgot, Judah was head of one of the twelve tribes of Israel, offspring of Israel, father of the Israelites or Jewish people. 

After thousands of years of killing Jews because they were a nation, the Arabs are now attempting to re-write history. They wish to take this integral part of Jewish identity away from them.

After thousands of years of oppression in their own land the Jews hoping, praying finally achieved their long sought after goal, the State of Israel, with its capital city of Jerusalem. 

It is the first time in history that a fallen nation has risen, fought back and pushed out the occupying, colonialist, Muslim Arabs!

What has kept Israel alive is the spirit, hope and fortitude of the Jewish Nation and its Army! 

This army, the IDF, has dealt all anti-semites a major blow. They can no longer get away so easily with bullying, persecuting and killing Jews. 

They, (Arab/Muslims especially) have tried on many occasions to militarily wipe this new incarnation of the Jewish nation off of the map of the world. 

In all cases they have failed.

Now haters like MK Jamal Zahalke have turned their focus to a new realm, that of delegitimizing Jews as a nation and their deserved right to Self-Determination and statehood.

Now these fanatics wish to once again turn the Jew and his new nation into a pariah by using many of the same Nazi techniques of the past.

Israel, First World as it may appear to be on the surface, is one of the last remaining pieces of the ancient world. 

I suggest to MK Zahalke that he open a history book before he opens his mouth next. 

Israel and the Hebrew/Jewish nation and culture existed long before Mohammad, the Arab Supremacist movement of Islam and long before the grotesque, defilement called the al-Aqsa mosque was built on the JEWISH TEMPLE MOUNT!
