The Stupid Left vs. the Satanic Leftby Steven Plaut
 vs.  
The first kind are merely stupid, the second nefarious.
 It is impossible to understand politics in the world today without grasping the fundamental fact that there exist two different Lefts. These are the Stupid Left and the Satanic Left. The two are very different, although they work together. People who are part of the first are simply stupid people. People who are part of the second may in fact be quite shrewd, but are evil and nefarious. There is no third type of leftist.
Over time, the Stupid Left has been losing its numbers, as many Stupid Leftists either become smarter or morph into Satanic Leftists, and so desist from being mere Stupid Leftists. So a process of selection is occurring whereby the strength of the Satanic Left within the overall Left grows.
Both the Stupid Left and the Satanic Left demonstrate together against the United States, in favor of Islamofascism, in favor of destroying Israel and in favor of Palestinian terrorism. But for different reasons.
The Stupid Left hates America because it thinks America promotes evil oppressive regimes around the world. The Satanic Left hates America because America gets in the way of the evil oppressive regimes that the Satanic Left promotes.
The Stupid Left denounces capitalism and globalization and supports communism because it really believes that people are poor and oppressed under capitalism but free and happy under socialism. The Satanic Left denounces capitalism and supports communism precisely BECAUSE it knows that the opposite is the case.
The Stupid Left does not know that communism produces gulags. The Satanic Left supports communism precisely BECAUSE it produces gulags and also because the Satanic Leftists presume they will be placed in charge of the gulags.
The Stupid Left wants a Palestinian state because it thinks that such a state will pursue peace alongside Israel. The Satanic Left wants a Palestinian state precisely because it knows such a state will launch a war of destruction against Israel and perpetrate endless atrocities against the Jews.
The Stupid Left opposes Israeli armed force being used to suppress terror because it thinks that terror can be resolved through dialogue and negotiations. The Satanic Left opposes Israeli armed force being used to suppress terror because it supports terror against Jews.
The Stupid Left thinks that Palestinian leaders and Arab nationalists are progressive and liberal. The Satanic Left supports the same people precisely because it knows they are Islamofascists.
The Stupid Left is under the impression that Arab states have elections and freedom and enlightenment. The Satanic Left supports Arab regimes because they want to destroy Israel and murder Jews.
The Stupid Left thinks that Israeli settlements are an obstacle to peace. The Satanic Left wants the settlers evicted or killed because they are an obstacle to the Palestinians destroying Israel.
The Stupid Left thinks the Middle East conflict is about Arab human rights. The Satanic Left knows the Middle East conflict is about suppressing Jewish human rights. They support this suppression.
The Stupid Left thinks the Middle East conflict is about land and borders. The Satanic Left knows it is about Israel's existence.
The Stupid Left thinks Israel is a discriminatory apartheid country. The Satanic Left wants Israel destroyed so that the Arabs can impose an apartheid regime directed against the Jews and any other non-Moslems.
The Stupid Left thinks Zionism is a form of racism. The Satanic Left supports anti-Zionism precisely because it is a form of anti-Semitism.
The Stupid Left says it favors equality. The Satanic Left favors transferring power to itself so that it can oppress others.
The Stupid Left thinks animals should be treated like humans. The Satanic Left thinks humans should be treated like animals.
The Stupid Left wants socialism because it thinks that people will not have to work under socialism and because it thinks that leftists will have a lot of friends under socialism. The Satanic Left wants socialism because Satanic Leftists will not have to work under socialism, while they turn everyone else into slaves, and because they will get to shoot their friends.

Israeli Leftists in Conference on Annihilating Israelby Steven Plaut
(The Post-Zionists' One-State Solution, in photo) For years the "one state solution" has been the preferred solution among the Far Left to the "problem" of Israel's very existence. No, by "one state solution" they do NOT mean that the Land of Israel will be under Israeli control while the "Palestinians" can at best expect limited autonomy after undergoing full denazification. When Lefties say "One-State Solution," they mean Israel will be obliterated and it will be replaced with a single Palestinian state with an Arab majority, at best allowing the Jews some sort of dhimmi status, and at worst shoving the Jews into cattle cars. Oxford University recently wanted to run a "debate" between Israel haters who want to annihilate Israel via the "One-State Solution" and Israel haters who want to annihilate Israel via the "Two-State Solution," meaning an Israel inside the 1967 borders granting "Palestinians" a right of right to Israel plus a Palestinian state west of the Jordan river. No one would be allowed to defend the 23 state solution, meaning the existing 22 Arab states remain plus a single Jewish state in control of Eretz Yisrael. Planned for October, 23 2007 the debate was to be over the proposition as follows: "This house believes that One State is the Only Solution to the Israel-Palestine Conflict." Some Israeli anti-Semites were to be on the side for the One State Solution, while a notorious American Jewish Neo-Nazi, Norman Finkelstein, was supposed to be on the other "pro-Israel" side! All particpants were actually to agree that Israel must be destroyed, although they could debate just how! Alan Dershowitz blasted Oxford for planning to hold such a conference. After turning Oxford into an international disgrace, in the end the "debate" was cancelled. Similar one-sided anti-Israel debates among Israel hating leftists are common on campuses all over the world, including regularly at Israeli universities. But the Moonbrits who want to destroy Israel have not abandoned all hope. Now a new "Let's Annihilate Dem Joos" conference is to be held on November 17 and 18 at the The Brunei Gallery, hosted by the London Middle East Institute (LMEI), sponsored by the University of London, the "London One State Group," and the notorious pro-terror SOAS Palestine Society. I guess Nuremberg was already booked up for their torchlight parade. Entitled " Challenging the Boundaries: A Single State in Palestine/Israel," the event will be a one-sided advocacy of Israel's destruction, much like the cancelled Oxford event. Among those who will be advocating Israel's extermination (and also that of its population?) will be Ilan Pappe, until recently on the faculty of the University of Haifa, Joseph Massad, the infamous anti-Semitic professor from Columbia University, Haim Bresheeth, an anti-Israel Israeli on the faculty of the University of East London, As'ad Ghanem, a faculty member in political science at the University of Haifa, Amnon Raz-Krakotzkin, a faculty member at Ben-Gurion University who has long advocated Israel's annihilation (and he is not even the most radical Israel hater at Ben Gurion University), and Eyal Sivan, an anti-Semitic Israeli filmmaker. For the full program, see here. Want to let the heads of the University of Haifa and Ben Gurion University know what you think of their faculty members participating in such an event? For University of Haifa, go here and here. For BGU write Professor Rivka Carmi, President, P.O. Box 653, Beer-Sheva, 84105, Israel, e-mail = rcarmi@bgumail.bgu.ac.il and president@bgumail.bgu.ac.il |

New Career Ideas for Ex-MK'sby Steven Plaut
Israel National News approached late night TV host David Letterman
Haaretz October 30, 07 reports that ex-Knesset Members who failed to get re-elected are having trouble finding careers and employment. You see, it is almost de rigueur for Israeli parliament candidate not to have any serious credentials or gainful employment skills. The Knesset is really a large dole office for the unemployable and talentless. So when a Knesset Member fails to make it into the chamber in the primaries and elections, he or she faces a midlife crisis. A research study in the UK by one Prof. Thickstone finds that ex-MP's there also have crises. The Haaretz piece reports that Likud ex-MK Gila Gamliel is now teaching cosmetics in the "Gigi Academy of Cosmetics." Ilan Gilon from Meretz is a radio show announcer. Now I am sure you will agree with me that this is a serious national problem. Having served their country so well, we would not want these valuable members of society to waste away in indolence and sloth! So we at Israel National News have approached late night TV host David Letterman to ask him to prepare a list of ten career suggestions for unemployed ex-members of the Knesset. Pickpocket was too obvious, given their previous experience, so we asked that it not be included. The Ish-Michtavim was kind enough to help us out. Ready? Here goes. Tonight's Top Ten List from Dave Letterman! The top ten career suggestions for unemployed ex-MK's: 10. Train as Gefilte Fishmongers. 9. Give them accordion lessons, teach them Russian, and send them downtown. 8. Teach them to drive bulldozers and aim them at the International Solidarity Movement protesters. 7. Let them serve as human shields for important buildings in Sderot. 6. Assign them to take charge of turning off the electricity to the Gaza Strip but don't show them how to turn it on again. 5. Pretend to be academics and get tenure at Ben Gurion University. 4. Try to find a single sentence written by a conspiracy nut that is truthful. (A contest for this exists and there is money in it!) 3. Let them prepare the Knesset building for shabbas by spending Friday tearing off squares of toilet paper. 2. Teach them to ask "Any fries with that?" 1. Assign them to give Ehud Olmert some very thorough prostate examinations.

Haetzni on "Assassination is Relative"by Steven Plaut
What would have happened had the assassination attempt against Olmert succeeded?
Nadav Haetzni is hands down the best columnist and commentator in the Israeli mainstream press. He writes in Maariv, the only Hebrew newspaper having a real semblance of political pluralism. Most of the columnists in Haaretz dream of the day when the Israel is destroyed and replaced by an Arab Palestinian state having a nice Jewish minority as dhimmis. (Having tired of claiming how Israel is a warmonger trying to ignite a war with Syria, Haaretz columnist Zvi Barel this morning writes that Israel is a warmonger trying to ignite a war with Egypt!) A better name for Haaretz would be al-Ard. Yediot Ahronot is in the middle, having some non-leftist columnists. But only Maariv really allows non-leftists what almost amounts to equal time. Unfortunately, Haetzni writes almost always only in Hebrew. He is a prominent lawyer and is the son of longtime activist Elyakim Haetzni. This past weekend Nadav has a superb article in Maariv. It is a bit long to be fully translated here, but let me give you the gist and sum it up for you. (Some of what follows is my own opinion - for Haetzni's own text see Maariv October 26, although unfortunately it is not on their web site.) Entitled "Assassination is Relative," it begins by noting the obsessive overkill in the annual ceremonies about the Rabin assassination on the anniversary of the murder. The death of Rabin has been turned by the Israeli media into an event that dwarfs the Holocaust and the splitting of the atom. In the same annual rituals, the Left and its captive segments of the media smear the "Right" and demand that the entire country rededicate itself to the "Rabin Political Legacy," meaning the implementation of the Rabin policies of appeasing the "Palestinians" and capitulation to what Haetzni calls the Ramallah gang. Amir killed one Jew; Rabin's policies have killed about two thousand and placed Israel's very survival in jeopardy. The media contain endless pieces denouncing Yigal Amir, who is the actual murderer of Rabin (in spite of what the obsessive liars and mental defectives from the "conspiracy theory" cult say). They demand that he be denied conjugal rights with his wife, unlike the Arab terrorists in Israeli prison, some of whom have murdered dozens of Jews. Demonizing Amir is the default option of the cowardly media, too pusillanimous to take any serious position or to ask any serious question about the Oslo "peace process" or the "Road Map." But compare this with the indifference of the same Left and its media to the near-assassination of Olmert, says Haetzni, news of which was released in recent days. Where Abu Mazen, Olmert's favorite Palestinian "moderate," released some terrorists from the resort the press calls the Palestinian Authority's prison. These then were armed and making their way to kill Olmert when they were apprehended. Olmert will now reward Abu Mazen for the murder attempt on himself by appeasing the Ramallah gangster some more in Annapolis. Haaretz almost buried the story of the assassination attempt in its cheery reporting of how desperately Abu Mazen and the PLO want peace. That is of course not the only attempted murder or murder Abu Mazen's people carried out. Just this past week a murder of a Jew next to Ariel was carried out by the same people. Abu Mazen's house media continue to run Nazi-like inctement against Israel and Jews. Haetzni asks what would have happened had the assassination attempt against Olmert succeeded? Would the Israeli media imitate what it does with Rabin? Turn him into a demigod? Organize annual events in which Olmert's legacy is celebrated? Or would it immediately demand that dialogue be held with the people behind the assassination? After all, one can only make peace with the one-time terrorists and assassins! Would the Left and its fellow travelers insist that the sponsors of the assassination are the only true peace partners? The only candidates for conducting dialogue? Haaretz would turn itself into a single-issue propaganda sheet – demanding that dialogue with the assassins is the only way to peace, for there are no military solutions. Shimon Peres would grant clemency to the assassins, the same way he is about to do so with Marwan Barghouti. So assassination is a relative thing, concludes Haetzni. It is only cause for soul searching and rededication to a political legacy when Rabin is involved. Any other killing of a Prime Minister would be reason to brush the death aside and move on with the appeasement!

Reaching a Settlement (By Way of Route 443) by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz
Anarchists, far-leftists, Palestinian Authority Arabs and associated supporters of terrorism blocked Route 443 this morning. The four-lane, two-way divided highway connects the city of Modiin and Jerusalem, as well as feeding into a major expressway taking travelers from Jerusalem all the way to Tel Aviv. 443 is also the only direct access route for residents of the Binyamin region wishing to travel to the capital. The road-blockers were protesting the fact that since the start of the Oslo War (also called the Second Intifada) in 2000, 443 has been mostly off-limits to cars from the Palestinian Authority. The protesters claimed that the restriction on PA vehicles is an act of "apartheid." So, what's new? Anything the state of Israel does that protects Israelis from non-Israelis is, by warped leftist definition, an act of apartheid. The terror-facilitating ISM issued its own press release on the 443 sabotage in which it quotes the self-defined Israeli "human rights group" B'tselem as contesting the military's claim that keeping PA vehicles off the roads protects Israelis from drive-by shootings and infiltrations. According to the ISM, "B'tselem explains that if Israel was only interested in protecting the lives of Israelis, rather than annexing the area, it could limit or even prohibit the travel of Israelis on the road...." Interesting. You see, for ISM, B'tselem and the others, to "prohibit the travel of Israelis on the road" is perfectly fine. However, Heaven forfend that you suggest to "prohibit the travel of PA residents on the road." That, you racist, is apartheid. This got me thinking. What if B'tselem was not a "human rights organization" but a rape crisis center?
ý
"Hello, this is B'tselem.... Yes, ma'am, I understand you've been raped, but if you really wanted to protect yourself, then you would have stayed indoors, rather than trying to prevent strange men from attacking you like you did. "Oh, yes. And maybe wear a burka...." Incidentally, in the above ISM press release, Modiin is called a "settlement". In other ISM materials, Maccabim, which is an older town that was absorbed into Modi'in, is called a settlement. And this is just the publicly available stuff and without mentioning the Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem built after 1967. This is no minor point. Modiin, a city of over 65,000 people, is within the pre-1967 borders of the State of Israel.
