Thursday, August 18, 2011 - Things Are Still The Same

I've been away from the blog for a bit - needed a bit of a break, quite frankly. Anyway, it looks like the more things change, the more they stay the same.....it's like I haven't been away at all.

1. Antisemitism Is Still In Style - The Protocols Are Back - Israel Opinion, Ynetnews - well gee, ain't that special. No wonder this Czarist Russia era forgery is so popular with so many antisemites and anti-Israel hypocrites - it's full of the same types of lies they spew.



2. Speaking of Antisemites #1 - I had a very close friend and mentor (who very sadly passed away too soon in 2003) - and who was certainly no antisemite - with whom I had a running argument about Wagner - he would find this article interesting - Richard Wagner’s Music Is Effectively Banned in Israel - Tablet Magazine.


I note that in the article, the author wonders why Wagner's music should not be freely performed in a free country. Issues like that can be debated in Israel, Canada, the US, Australia and so on. However, I never seem to hear someone say the same thing about a "non-free" country - that it should become free - hey, let's have Shania Twain (a good Canadian) perform in Saudi Arabia - that should shake things up a bit.......


A further thought. I admit that this may not apply to the question of performing Wagner in Israel, but a "free country" does not mean that there should not be limits on freedom of speech and the like. And it may well apply to something as disgusting as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.






7. The UN Still Urges "Restraint" - UN's Ban condemns Eilat attacks, concerned of escalation... JPost - Headlines - gee, who could be asking to exercise restraint? The terrorists?

8. Saeb Erekat Is Still An Idiot - Erekat warns Israel against 'irresponsible action'... JPost - Diplomacy & Politics - I think that Erekat is well past his "best before" date, but then again, any one of the idiots of the PA would say the same thing.



10. The PA Still Endorses Hatred - this is from the supposed peace partners who think they deserve their own state.....and who have lots of moronic supporters around the world, especially in Europe.



11. Assad Is Still Running Loose - and I'm sure he is terrified of the calls on him to step down - maybe Vogue Magazine should do another piece on the first family of Syria - after all, what do you wear to a massacre?
12. At Least Pat Condell Is Still Bang On - thanks for a guy willing to call it as he sees it, political correctness be damned.....




13. Bureaucrats Are Still Bureaucrats - are you kidding me? William Watson: Deliver us from mail monopoly | FP Comment | Financial Post


14. Sunni & Shia Still Don't Get Along - though it is good for Israel - Saudi Arabia, Israel Versus Syria, Iran - Tablet Magazine


16. Western Values Continue To Be Under Attack (From Within) - Pajamas Media - When a Civilization Goes Mad

17. Durban III And The UNGA Are Still Coming In September - The Rosett Report - Ahmadinejad and New York Maid Service

18. Soccer "Divers" Are Still The Same - this guy could be an official PA spokesman - Erekat better watch out!
