CAIR: Demanding Israel Appease Hamas Terrorists

Cross-posted from Anti-CAIR.

On 21 January, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Washington D.C. based Islamist terrorist supporting front group, issued an “Action Alert” calling on readers to contact American political leaders in order to pressure Israel to lift a “humanitarian crisis” in Gaza.

    The “humanitarian crisis” developed when Israel reduced deliveries of fuel, food, and medicines in response to rocket attacks by members of the Hamas terrorist group. Hamas terrorists have been firing rockets into Southern Israel since taking power by force in June.

    In the action alert, CAIR states:

“Because American taxpayers provide Israel with billions of dollars of
economic support each year, we have the right and the responsibility
to demand that Israel abide by American and universal human rights
standards and end its practice of collective punishment against the
Palestinian populations. Such practice amounts to war crimes.”

    CAIR, true to its lap-dog propagandizing on behalf of Islamist terrorism, states that the United States has the “right and the responsibility  to demand Israel abide by American and universal human rights standards.”

    But what about the rights of the Israeli civilians terror murdered or wounded by the Hamas rockets? Or does CAIR consider all Israelis to be soldiers?

      Why doesn’t CAIR demand that Hamas abide by “American and universal human rights standards” and stop the rockets?

     Because CAIR has proven links to and was founded by Hamas members and supporters.

     CAIR continues:

“Seventy-nine percent of Gaza households live under the poverty line,
40 percent suffer from unemployment and almost half the population
in the Gaza Strip is made up of children.”

       Hamas rules Gaza with an iron fist, claims to represent the Palestinian people, and yet  is unable to provide even basic civil services in an area of about 139 square miles. But Hamas seems to have plenty of money for weapons, rockets, and ammunition despite the “Israeli blockade”. 

    Why is it that Hamas, faced with this “humanitarian crises”, would prefer to import weapons over food for the very Palestinian civilians it claims to protect? 

    What does it say about Hamas that they’d rather kill Israeli civilians than feed  “almost half the population in the Gaza Strip” that is “made up of children”?

    Of course, CAIR can’t criticize Hamas; to do so would be to criticize family.

    So, the world will condemn Israel for cutting off supplies to a terrorist government and will say nothing to Hamas terrorists who would starve their own children in a propaganda exercise designed to make Israel appear to be the aggressor.


     What does this say about CAIR that they condemn Muslim children to starvation ...? 

Terrorists Take 250 Children Hostage

Pro-Taleban militants armed with rocket launchers and grenades storm a school after a shoot-out with police near Waziristan

Islamic militants armed with rocket launchers and grenades stormed a school in northwestern Pakistan yesterday and held about 250 pupils hostage before giving themselves up to a tribal council.

The pro-Taleban gunmen seized the school on the outskirts of the town of Karak, near the restive region of Waziristan, after a shoot-out with the police. They threatened to kill the children, teachers and themselves if anyone attacked them and demanded a safe passage to the tribal area controlled by Islamist insurgents.

Before storming the school they had abducted a local health officer and drove off when they were challenged by police. One insurgent was killed in the ensuing shoot-out. The official was freed unharmed. Read it all.

Hackers Post YouTube Video Declaring War on Scientology

"For the good of your followers, for the good of mankind--for the laughs--we shall expel you from the Internet and systematically dismantle the Church of Scientology in its present form. We acknowledge you as a serious opponent, and we are prepared for a long, long campaign. You will not prevail forever against the angry masses of the body politic. Your methods, hypocrisy, and the artlessness of your organization have sounded its death knell."

Here's what Wiki says about Scientology.

I don't know how serious the threat is from "Anonymous", but the mechanized voice may be an indication of how serious  the hackers take the threat of Scientology.

Israel’s Electric Car

Israel knows how to divest terror.

On Mon. (Jan. 21) the Israeli government announced its support of an ambitious plan to install the world's first electric car network in Israel by 2011 The initiative is aimed at addressing global dependence on foreign oil from undemocratic regimes and mitigating the health and environmental damages caused by emissions from gas-burning vehicles. Said Israeli President Shimon Peres, "Today is a new age with new dangers and the greatest danger is that of oil. It is the greatest polluter of our age and oil is the greatest financier of terror.”

Afghan blasphemy death sentence

LGF supplies us with the latest offense to Muslims.

An Afghan journalist has been sentenced to death by a provincial court for distributing "blasphemous" material.

Sayed Perwiz Kambakhsh, 23, was arrested in 2007 after downloading material from the internet relating to the role of women in Islamic societies.

A primary court in Balkh province said that Kambakhsh had confessed to blasphemy and had to be punished.

The court also threatened to arrest any reporters who protested against Kambakhsh's sentence.

Kambakhsh, a student at Balkh University and a journalist for Jahan-e Naw (New World), was arrested in October 2007 after material he downloaded was deemed to be offensive to Islam.

Shamsur Rahman, the head of the court, told Reuters news agency: "According to... the Islamic law, Sayed Perwiz is sentenced to death at the first court.

However, he will go through three more courts to declare his last punishment," he said

I wonder what the dreadful blaspheme was "relating to the role of women in Islamic societies" that it could warrant death? Did the material claim that women were equal to men?

America Remembers Dr Martin Luther King Jr

Reposted from last year.

1929 : Martin Luther King Jr. born
On January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King Jr. is born in Atlanta, Georgia, the son of a Baptist minister. King received a doctorate degree in theology and in 1955 organized the first major protest of the African-American civil rights movement: the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott. Influenced by Mohandas Gandhi, he advocated nonviolent civil disobedience to racial segregation. The peaceful protests he led throughout the American South were often met with violence, but King and his followers persisted, and the movement gained momentum.

A powerful orator, he appealed to Christian and American ideals and won growing support from the federal government and northern whites. In 1963, he led his massive March on Washington, in which he delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" address. In 1964, the civil rights movement achieved two of its greatest successes: the ratification of the 24th Amendment, which abolished the poll tax, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited racial discrimination in employment and education and outlawed racial segregation in public facilities. Later that year, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In the late 1960s, King openly criticized U.S. involvement in Vietnam and turned his efforts to winning economic rights for poor Americans. He was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, 1968. Video of "I have a Dream"

Bylines of Brutality

As Casualties Mount, Some Question The Emotional Stability of Media Vets

An Iowahawk Special Investigative Report
With Statistical Guidance from the New York Times

A Denver newspaper columnist is arrested for stalking a story subject. In Cincinnati, a television reporter is arrested on charges of child molestation. A North Carolina newspaper reporter is arrested for harassing a local woman. A drunken Chicago Sun-Times columnist and editorial board member is arrested for wife beating. A Baltimore newspaper editor is arrested for threatening neighbors with a shotgun. In Florida, one TV reporter is arrested for DUI, while another is charged with carrying a gun into a high school. A Philadelphia news anchorwoman goes on a violent drunken rampage, assaulting a police officer. In England, a newspaper columnist is arrested for killing her elderly aunt.

Unrelated incidents, or mounting evidence of that America's newsrooms have become a breeding ground for murderous, drunk, gun-wielding child molesters? Answers are elusive, but the ever-increasing toll of violent crimes committed by journalists has led some experts to warn that without programs for intensive mental health care, the nation faces a potential bloodbath at the hands of psychopathic media vets.

"These people could snap at any minute," says James Treacher of the Treacher Institute for Journalist Studies. "We need to get them the help and medication they need before it's too late." Read it all.
