Monday, October 3, 2011 - Brief Edition



2. What Is the Obama Administration Thinking? Assuming, of course, that the verb "thinking" applies.....
3. Tarek Fatah - sounding the alarm, but will anyone listen?

4.  Media Bias - New York Times Israel Op-ed Index for September 2011 - according to Barry Rubin, the NYT score was 14 (pro-Palestinian) to 1 (pro-Israel) - that's really balanced, isn't it? But it's not surprising - media bias is everywhere - Blog: Wash. Post's silly semantics against Israel's rightful claims to Jerusalem - and the reason it is important is that every time there is an inaccuracy or a lie, it hurts Israel's image in the eyes of the unknowing and uncommitted.
5.  Speaking Of Media Bias - well, maybe not this time - Syrian army battles defectors in rebel town as 11 more protesters killed | World news | The Guardian - but how the heck did The Guardian publish a story without implicating Israel? Are the editors aware of this?
6.  Reason To Be Vigilant  - The Halifax newspaper published this letter (look at the third one down) the other day - just look at the themes it hits - alleged control over the US Government by Israeli "lobbyists", references to apartheid and complete ignorance of not only international law (& the Palmer Report in particular), but who the genocidal racist maniacs are that run Gaza, and what their stated goals are.
Whether said out of ignorance or deliberately it does not matter - these kinds of things simply have to be confronted promptly and factually (though I have to admit that this time, the letter in reply I submitted was quite sarcastic and likely won't be published- there are times that I let my diplomacy shield down). Suffice it to say that the point I made was that if it is time to take a stand against anything, it is against radical political Islamism.
7.  Because In Case You Did Not Know..... - The world blames Israel - Israel Opinion, Ynetnews
8.  Quick Hitters - here's just 3 reasons to oppose a Palestinian State....and how to be pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian at the same time.


9.  Part Of The Rot That Is The UN - UNRWA is an impediment to peace - JPost - Opinion - Op-Eds. Also see - The Rosett Report - A Modest Proposal for Giving You Your Very Own UN Staffer

10.  C'mon Man! - OK - time to lighten up - ESPN has not posted tonight's version (about yesterday's NFL games), but some enterprising person posted a pretty good copy on YouTube.
