If you glanced at the Jerusalem Post homepage Monday evening, you would find the following main picture and caption:

Look closely at the above Jpost pic & caption

It appears that world leaders are beginning to internalize the message of Israel's pioneering settlement movement. Following a great awakening, they have connected to the undercurrents of the Jewish Nation's yearning for the complete return to Zion. According to the caption, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart have joined the determined marchers to rebuild Homesh.

It just goes to show that through persistence in our struggle to maintain Israel's territorial integrity, the IDF backs down, and then world leaders begin to understand. (Hat tip to A7 News Writer Hana Julian)

Alon Dahan is one of the best columnists in Israel.  He often writes on the NFC.CO.IL web site.

Today he has a must-read article there, available only in Hebrew, entitled "The Trotskyist Revolution is On".  He begins by noting that most people in Israel, at least outside of certain pseudo-academic post-Zionist circles, understand that Stalin was an evil genocidal dictator.  But for some reason, Leon Trotsky has always been regarded with a bit of forgiving admiration by the members of Israel's intelligentsia and Moonbatocracy.  

Dahan's article is as sharp as the ice pick of a Stalinist agent.  He argues that if anything Trotsky was more radical and pro-violence than Uncle Joe Stalin, the one-time "Sun of the Nations" in the words of Mapam's party newspaper.  Trotsky was far more imperialistic in insisting that the Soviet Union should undermine democratic capitalist regimes all over the world, whereas Stalin was content just with mass murdering Soviet Union citizens, and later lots of Poles and other Eastern Europeans.  

Trotsky also was of the opinion that Jews should simply commit mass national suicide and mass assimilate into the surroundings.  Dahan argues that this is what makes him so attractive to the leftist chattering classes in Israel today.  Trotsky showed his "progressiveness" by displaying self-hatred and anti-Semitism and supporting those seeking to annihilate the Jews.  Just like our own local Post-Zionists.  And the Israeli leftists are all being sustained by the busybodies and anti-Semites from the EU.  

Dahan then goes on to list the many examples of activist organization on the Israeli Left that are driven by little more than Trotsky-like Jewish anti-Semitism, or what Dahan calls Beilinite Trotskyism.  The far-Leftist pseudo-academics in Israeli universities are no better.

Trotsky in need of ACAMOL after meeting up with an ice pick:

Years ago, a student asked me if I could explain to him the difference between a Trotskyite and a Trotskyist.  I replied that it was exactly the same as the diffence between a pile of cow manure and a pile of bull manure.

So can anyone explain what the difference is between Israel's Trotskyite Post-Zionist pseudo-academics and the David-Irving-Ernst-Zundel movement?

Non-Eliminationist Blood Libels?
Is the American Jewish Committee now Promoting the "Apartheid Israel" Libel?

You know how the very liberal American Jewish Comnittee has a rep among the moonbats for being rightwing? It is because the AJCommittee nominally sponsors Commentary Magazine.

Well, now it appears that the AJCommittee is jumping on the Bash-Israel Bandwagon and endorsing some of those assertions that Israel is an apartheid regime. At least so says the Meretz USA web site here:

"Among the guest speakers who dropped by briefly, were Columbia U. president Lee Bollinger (an impressively thoughtful individual) and Todd Gitlin (the 60s-era radical and today's prominent liberal academic)....
The major distinction that was made is between those who use the Apartheid analogy for 'eliminationist' or 'unconscionable' purposes - with the intend of undermining Israel;s existence as a Jewish state - and those (like Carter) who employ the analogy for 'conscionable' reasons, to eliminate the inhumane hardships and injustices that the Palestinians endure under occupation. The main difference of opinion seemed to be on whether to simply refute or dismiss the Apartheid analogy or to allow the truth of valid criticisms of Israeli policies. In the end, there was consensus that a good response to the Apartheid analogy can be a nuanced statement that would contain the following elements: 'Apartheid is not the issue' but the issue includes ending settlement expansion and occupation on the one side and the need to end violence and terror on the other."

Israel of course is the only Middle East regime that is NOT an apartheid regime. So non-eliminationist assertions that Israel is an apartheid regime are suddenly kosher for the AJCommittee members? Maybe the AJCommittee will next claim - non-eliminationally of course - that Israel was behind the 911 attacks on the US? Or that Jews drink gentile blood for Passover?

Corried died trying to save a weapons smuggling tunnel from the Israelis and they’re now having a breakfast commemorating her that bans weapons.
Gotta admit I do not know much about Julia Gorin.  But she got me guffawing with laughter, and not every columnist can do that.

Gorin has a thing about the Cult of Corrie, those people who have turned Rachel Corrie's suicide into the central canon of their Bash-Israel religion.

Gorin wrote about Corrie's cult of followers this past summer in Jewish World Review.   She dismissed Corrie as a terrorist rights campaigner and mocked those theaters trying to stage a play about Corrie.  She added: "It's not for nothing that the third anniversary of Corrie's death was commemorated with a salute to her family and friends by the Gaza Community Mental Health Program."

She has witty comments about other things: "On a side note, the weapons-smuggling tunnels beg a question: One of the Palestinians' grievances against the Israelis is that the IDF security mechanism often interferes with much needed medical supplies or medical care getting to and from the territories. But the Palestinians don't seem to have any trouble getting weapons through. Couldn't they just use their terror tunnels for the medical supplies? What's the problem?"

Well, Gorin is back this week writing enchantingly about Corrie.  She collects assorted notices about a pancake breakfast being held in Corrie's memory.  In the notice, attendees are encouraged to wear their keffiahs, and to dress in black.  No weapons, drugs, or alcohol please.  Really.

Corrie is commonly referred to in some web sites as "Saint Pancake".   Gorin cites Michael Becker:

'I’m at a loss for words. Rachel died trying to save a weapons smuggling tunnel from the Israelis and you’re having a breakfast commemorating her that bans weapons.'

Another writes: "The Palestinians are a people with far less claim to historical legitimacy than the Klingons. Idiots like Rachel Corrie are like geeks who go to summer camp to learn to speak Klingon, but wind up playing with live phaser guns."

Go here to read the rest.    Here is my guru Gorin:
