Jihad Theatrics at Taxpayer Expenseby Steven Plaut
And what the Left forgot to Mention about him
 Caution: Terrorhoid at Cameri Theater!! In his weekly column, the deputy editor of Maariv, Ben Dror Yemini, took on the "Cameri Theater" this past week. The Cameri is largely financed by taxpayers with grants, only a small share of its wampum coming from sales of tickets. It is currently staging a propaganda play called "Return to Haifa," written by a Palestinian terrorist, and of course celebrating the need for a Palestinian "right of return." The author of this great work of literature was Ghassan Kanafani, a terrorist assassinated by Israel in Lebanon in 1972. He was spokescritter for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine back when it was active in hijacking planes. In 1972 Israeli agents blew his car up in Beirut, dispatching Kanafani to his virgins in retaliation for the attack on Lod airport by Japanese terrorists a few hours before I was supposed to land there. This is conveniently overlooked by the honchos at Cameri. One irony though; in the 1960s Kanafani wrote several essays blaming the Arabs for the "Palestinian refugee" problem because Arab leaders had order them to flee the newly created Israel in 1948. In the book " The Land of the Sad Oranges" (ard al-burtuqal al-hazin), written in Arabic in 1963 by PFLP Spokesman Ghassan Kanafani, father of Marwan Kanafani, one of today's PLO terrorists spokesmen, writes about such radio broadcasts, and about the resentment that his father had against the Arab leaders and against his own brother for having convinced him to leave Haifa with his family for Lebanon, so that the Arab armed forces could "cleanse Palestne" by exterminating the Jews there. You will not hear any of the bleeding hearts or the Tenured Traitors mentioning that little inconvenient fact about him. The Cameri is justifying this atrocious use of taxpayer money by claiming that Kanafani was a great literary figure. Like most anti-Israel propagandists, the Cameri Theater is the recipient of an Israel Prize, granted by the Israeli government. You could send their director Noam Semel a cyber-moon at info@cameri.co.il or fax 972-3-6060950, and tell them why you will never spend a shekel on Cameri tickets to anything, or better yet - write the Ministry of Culture at here and tell THEM what you think |

British Journalist Asks NY Radio Station To Reconsiderby Baruch Gordon
A New York radio station WQXR has refused to air an ad explaining the plight of Jews in Sderot. See the brief news item here: In response, British radio journalist Walter Bingham, who resides in Israel and has frequented Sderot, has launched a letter-writing campaign to the station urging them to reconsider their decision. Write to: listener.mail@wqxr.com Mr. Bingham's letter to the station appears below: Dear Mr. Batunek, As a radio journalist with 58 years experience, (yes I’m 84 years old and still presenting my own programme,) I am extremely disappointed to learn, that you have judged the advertising spot requested by the American Jewish Committee to be misleading and its content open to challenge. I have visited the Sderot area several times and can assure you that the rockets are indeed falling unpredicted and without provocation at any time during the day or night, and that the description of 15 seconds warning is absolutely accurate, as the distance between the two locations is no more than 1 to 1 ½ miles. The government of Israel has for years now been extremely patient, and while the rockets are aimed at the civilian population, any action in response, has been meticulous to avoid civilian casualties among Palestinians, and exclusively aimed at the perpetrators of such attacks. I greatly doubt if the ‘reasonable people’ to whom you refer are troubled by the absence of any comment about the occasional defensive action by the Israeli military, in the light of the volume of missiles fired at Sderot and neighbouring populated areas, on one day recently 22 and on another some 40. It is important for journalists to be able to place themselves into the shoes of their subject or interviewee, to be able to report fairly, and I invite you therefore to imagine your feelings, when your small children or grandchildren are at school or even at play in your garden under those circumstances. In the light of this, I feel that it would be right to re-examine the facts that led you to your decision. I really would appreciate your considered reply, and send you My most friendly fraternal greetings. Walter Bingham M.M. MA(lond)

Oh, shut up, Yoffieby Steven Plaut
I think we should hold a contest for the most imaginative ways to shut up "Rabbi" Eric Yoffie, the leader of the American Reform synagogue's political SWAT team, the "Union for Reform Judaism." It is a political movement that seems to want to replace the Torah with Tikkun Magazine. You know the the sort, Jews who consider Palestinian statehood and gay "marriage" to be the highest priorities for Judaism. Yoffie evidently wants the Ten Commandments to be replaced with Barack Obama's campaign platform. 
"Rabbi" Yoffie is a leading theological practitioner of Political Liberalism as Judaism, a form of pseudo-Judaism and "liberation theology." Yoffie has a long track record of issuing anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian pronouncements. This past week he is calling for a Jewish jihad against Christian evangelists, because the latter are guilty of supporting Israel. Who does not need to be criticized, according to Yoffie? Islamofascists, of course. Last year, "Rabbi" Yoffie sucked up to them at the Islamic Society of North America's 44th annual convention in Chicago, IL. While still president, Moshe Katsav made a point out of refusing to call Yoffie a Rabbi. So imaginative suggestions for ways to shut Yoffie up are being solicited. So far we have: 1. Stick the stockings from a Reconstructionist Christmas tree into his mouth. 2. Borrow a giant reefer for him from Arthur Waskow. 3. How many Kafiyas can he swallow in an hour? 4. Get him the seafood platter from a progressive egalitarian California Reform "temple" we know about. 5. Two words: fur balls. 6. Get him to recite fatwas from the Religious Action Center of David Saperstein at the speed of an old 45 record being played at 78. 7. Make him give all his liberal speeches in Hebrew. (Or Aramaic) 8. Make him give a class on the Daf Yomi before any political speech he plans to give. 9. Get him to a dentist who was admitted to dental school via affirmative action. 10. Let him drink every day as if it were Purim.

New Israeli Group Battles Zionismby Steven Plaut
Jews for a Second Holocaust
 More Jihad Barbies Operating in Israel? In Ben Dror Yemini’s column from last weekend, he discusses the latest group of Jews for a Second Holocaust in Israel, a group calling itself “Zochrot”(remembrances). No it is not a group trying to maintain memory about the past century of atrocities done to Jews by Islamofascism. It is a group trying to “memorialize” the locations and names of villages and other sites occupied by “Palestinian” interlopers in the Land of Israel before the 1948 war and before the declaration of independence of Israel. The group demands that signs be erected by the Israeli government with my money to mark the locations and villages abandoned when these Arabs fled the battle zones in 1948-9, including on JNF lands. The JNF has agreed and cooperates. “Zochrot’s” political agenda is quite openly the “Palestinian Right of Return,” meaning its right to destroy Israel and expel the Jews. Its reps participated in the “Let’s destroy Israel and replace it with a Single Arab state” conference in London recently, in which several other Israelis for a Second Holocaust participated. And to top matters off, the Tel Aviv Municipality is co-sponsoring a photo exhibit with these people about Arab Jaffa in dem olde days . The ZOCHROT web page is here. |

Poor Barry Chamishby Steven Plaut
Your favorite conspiracy fiction writer and UFO nut, Barry the Chamish, the chronically unemployed inventor of "theories" for Neo-Nazi organizations and web sites, has a timeless investigative technique.  Above, Chamish with the source for his investigative reporting. It is called lying and fabrication. Chamish is incapable of putting more than 6 words on a page without lying and usually also not without several grammar and spelling errors. Chamish does not like me because I proved that his entire "theory" about the Rabin assassination is a collection of lies. It is not necessary to disprove his other "theories," about UFOs and space aliens and such, etc. Anyhow, to "discredit" me, Chamish regularly invents imaginary nameless people who Chamish claims have run to him with lurid gossipy stories about me. Actually most of Chamish's sources about everything are nameless imaginary people. He once claimed a nameless student of mine had come to him to tell him what an awful lecturer I am, as if an MBA student would actually talk to a Chamish. Well, in his latest epistle to his remaining eight followers, the Chamish claims a female school mate of mine from dem olde country, naturally nameless, wrote him about how unpopular I was with the girls there back in school, and I pulled their pigtails and such. It is as truthful as anything else Chamish has ever crayoned. Poor little Chamish. Someone should tell him that I went to an all-boys school in Philadelphia. No sooner does Chamish get clobbered in court for lying about Ben Gvir and hit with a 36,000 NIS fine than he tries to invent a female school mate of mine from yesteryear from an all boys school! How was he to know? Our intrepid investigative reporter flunks once again.
