Arizona's new law which is intended to block the tsunami of illegal Mexicans entering the southern state is under attack. The news headlines report that following the passage of the law groups have cancelled their reservations at hotels and convention centers and Arizona businessmen are concerned that a boycott by certain "liberal" groups will strangulate their businesses.

If we take a step back and look at the demographic change taking place in the US, particularly in the southern states like California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, these southern states are being reconquered by Mexico. At this point, the takeover is totally democratic, just not totally legal. Millions of illegal immigrants have flooded into California over the past few decades and they have become an electoral power that politicians cannot ignore.

According to Wikipedia, Spanish is the second most common language spoken in the US after English, and it is the primary language spoken at homes in the US by over 34 million people aged 5 or older.

In 1986, being that the US has no official language, California voters added a new state constitutional clause, by referendum, stating that English is the official language of the State of California,(California Constitution Art. 3, Sec. 6) however, Spanish remains widely spoken throughout the state, and many government forms, documents, and services are bilingual.

According to the census taken in 2004 by the US Census Bureau, Spanish speakers made up almost 35% of residents in California. In New Mexico 43% of the population are Spanish speakers ((based on the demographics, maybe the word "New" should be removed from the state's name).

Under such circumstances, what are the chances that politicians, who are constantly concerned with getting reelected, will enact legislation to put a stop to the illegal immigration from the South and thereby alienate themselves in the eyes of the growing Spanish-speaking electorate?

Are those Americans who want to put a stop to illegal immigration just paranoid or do they really have something to be concerned about? Publicly-made statements by Mexican Americans and the Mexicans themselves are revealing.

In an article titled "Mexicans Have Plans for the American Southwest" Brenda Walker brought the following worrisome facts:

Mexican children are taught in school that the United States stole that land constituting the border states and they call it “Aztlan.”

In 1997, then-President of Mexico Zedillo proclaimed that “I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders.”

Mexican American Legal Defense Fund founder Mario Obledo stated, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave. Every constitutional office in California is going to be held by Hispanics in the next 20 years.” People who don't like such demographic changes “should go back to Europe.” (Incidentally, Mr. Obledo was also the California Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Gov. Jerry Brown.)

Getting back to the threat of boycotts against Arizona for protecting itself from a deluge of illegals. I think that patriotic Americans should combat the boycott by supporting Arizona hotels, convention centers and businesses. Any organizations or individuals planning national events or outings should plan them in Arizona (and notify honest media outlets about that). This financial support will counteract the attempts to intimidate and bully Arizonian residents into reciding this just and important law.

What does all this have to do with the state of Israel?

The point in question is whether a nation has the right to protect its land and its culture from "peaceful", demographic conquest.

In Judea and Samaria, Israel's Biblical heartland, the Obama administration has pressured Israel into announcing a building freeze on Jewish construction only. In the meantime, Arabs, funded by rich Arab oil states and the EU, are building with a frenzy in those same areas and they're creating facts on the ground. Thereby they are being allowed to outpopulate the Jews demographically in Judea and Samaria making it very difficult to hold onto the land.

In this generation, ethnic or religious groups often times realize that they cannot militarily conquer their enemy and so they use demographics to wage their war. For those of us who value our culture and our way life we have to recognize this threat and learn of ways to protect ourselves from it.

The following is a statement released by Retired Lt. Col. Allen West:

This past Thursday 13 American Soldiers were killed and another 30 wounded at a horrific mass shooting at US Army installation, Ft Hood Texas . As I watched in horror and then anger I recalled my two years of final service in the Army as a Battalion Commander at Ft Hood, 2002-2004.

My wife and two daughters were stunned at the incident having lived on the post in family housing.

A military installation, whether it is Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard, is supposed to be a safe sanctuary for our Warriors and their families. It is intended to provide a home whereby our “Band of Brothers and Sisters” can find solace and bond beyond just the foxhole but as family units.

A military installation is supposed to be a place where our Warriors train for war, to serve and protect our Nation.

On Thursday, 5 November 2009 Ft Hood became a part of the battlefield in the war against Islamic totalitarianism and state sponsored terrorism.

There may be those who feel threatened by my words and would even recommend they not be uttered. To those individuals I say step aside because now is not the time for cowardice. Our Country has become so paralyzed by political correctness that we have allowed a vile and determined enemy to breach what should be the safest place in America , an Army post.

We have become so politically correct that our media is more concerned about the stress of the shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan. The misplaced benevolence intending to portray him as a victim is despicable. The fact that there are some who have now created an entire new classification called; “pre-virtual vicarious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)” is unconscionable.

This is not a “man caused disaster”. It is what it is, an Islamic jihadist attack.

We have seen this before in 2003 when a SGT Hasan of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) threw hand grenades and opened fire into his Commanding Officer’s tent in Kuwait . We have seen the foiled attempt of Albanian Muslims who sought to attack Ft Dix, NJ. Recently we saw a young convert to Islam named Carlos Bledsoe travel to Yemen, receive terrorist training, and return to gun down two US Soldiers at a Little Rock, Arkansas Army recruiting station. We thwarted another Islamic terrorist plot in North Carolina which had US Marine Corps Base, Quantico as a target.

What have we done with all these prevalent trends? Nothing.

What we see are recalcitrant leaders who are refusing to confront the issue, Islamic terrorist infiltration into America , and possibly further into our Armed Services. Instead we have a multiculturalism and diversity syndrome on steroids.

Major Hasan should have never been transferred to Ft Hood, matter of fact he should have been Chaptered from the Army. His previous statements, poor evaluation reports, and the fact that the FBI had him under investigation for jihadist website posting should have been proof positive.

However, what we have is a typical liberal approach to find a victim, not the 13 and 30 Soldiers and Civilian, but rather the poor shooter. A shooter who we are told was a great American, who loved the Army and serving his Nation and the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) stating that his actions had nothing to do with religious belief.

We know that Major Hasan deliberately planned this episode; he did give away his possessions. He stood atop a table in the confined space of the Soldier Readiness Center shouting “Allahu Akhbar”, same chant as the 9-11 terrorists and those we fight against overseas in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters of operation.

No one in leadership seems willing to sound the alarm for the American people; they are therefore complicit in any future attacks. Our Congress should suspend the insidious action to vote on a preposterous and unconstitutional healthcare bill and resolve the issue of “protecting the American people”.

The recent incidents in Dearborn Michigan , Boston Massachusetts , Dallas Texas , and Chicago Illinois should bear witness to the fact that we have an Islamic terrorism issue in America . And don’t have CAIR call me and try to issue a vanilla press statement; they are an illegitimate terrorist associated organization which should be disbanded.

We have Saudi Arabia funding close to 80% of the mosques in the United States , one right here in South Florida, Pompano Beach . Are we building churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia ? Are “Kaffirs” and “Infidels” allowed travel to Mecca ?

So much for peaceful coexistence.

Saudi Arabia is sponsoring radical Imams who enter into our prisons and convert young men into a virulent Wahabbist ideology….one resulting in four individuals wanting to destroy synagogues in New York with plastic explosives. Thank God the explosives were dummy. They are sponsoring textbooks which present Islamic centric revisionist history in our schools.

We must recognize that there is an urgent need to separate the theo-political radical Islamic ideology out of our American society. We must begin to demand surveillance of suspected Imams and mosques that are spreading hate and preaching the overthrow of our Constitutional Republic……that speech is not protected under First Amendment, it is sedition and if done by an American treason.
There should not be some 30 Islamic terrorist training camps in America that has nothing to do with First Amendment, Freedom of Religion. The Saudis are not our friends and any American political figure who believes such is delusional.

When tolerance becomes a one way street it certainly leads to cultural suicide. We are on that street. Liberals cannot be trusted to defend our Republic, because their sympathies obviously lie with their perceived victim, Major Nidal Malik Hasan.

I make no apologies for these words, and anyone angered by them, please, go to Ft Hood and look into the eyes of the real victims. The tragedy at Ft Hood Texas did not have to happen. Consider now the feelings of those there and on every military installation in the world. Consider the feelings of the Warriors deployed into combat zones who now are concerned that their loved ones at home are in a combat zone.

Ft Hood suffered an Islamic jihadist attack, stop the denial, and realize a simple point.

The reality of your enemy must become your own.

Steadfast and Loyal,

Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret)

 When we were in Israel in June, it struck me that some of the cream of Israeli youth had a nasty, dangerous habit.

  While in the central Jerusalem bus station I observed how many of the male and female soldiers smoked. While on the streets, I also noticed this and am very saddened that, no where were there signs, posters or any advertising about not smoking in the first place or options to quit.

It would seem that in the schools there should be programs telling the teens that there are 2,000 toxic chemicals in cigarettes. Nicotine, only 2 drops can kill. The other chemicals do their damage as well.

If only the government would tell the population, particularly the young that over 80% of illnesses that put people into care homes are directly caused by smoking.

Most people are aware that deep breaths are relaxing. Most of the time, the only time smokers take deep breaths is when they inhale.

Tobacco is sugar cured, which is why when a smoker inhales they get a sugar hit. This is why when they are hungry, to keep their weight down, girls smoke instead of eating.

In the schools there should be programs targeting the youth. In the army there should be programs to help the young soldiers resist starting.  If they are smokers, there should be pro-active programs to get them off the weed.

It is an expensive, dirty habit. The government gets taxes from the sale of cigarettes so it does have a real interest in stopping the behavior.

My grandson just graduated from high school in Israel. The peer pressure to smoke was terrible but fortunately, he resisted. It isn't cool to not smoke. This is the age group needing the education the most.

Take kids to the cancer wards and have them talk to patients who smoked. Ask them if they have a friend or relative that has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or emphysema how hard is it to draw a breath.

In my opinion, the schools have a duty to have anti-smoking programs as does the army. What are you going to do about it?

Think about it!

Victims develop a tolerance for bizzare behavior and here we go again!

According to an article last week in the Hebrew language weekly newspaper Besheva written by Chagit Rotenberg, farmers in the Negev and Gallilee are being regularly beaten, terrorized and harassed by local Bedoins attempting to drive them off their land. According to Besheva, some have already been driven off, their land stolen.

Police do nothing,,,who is paying them off to not take action against the perpertrators? Example, a farmer was driving his truck and was being followed by Bedoins who when he stopped they beat him badly and stole his truck filled with equipment. The farmer complained to the police, the attackers were arrested and then released without being charged. Again, who is paying off whom?

The Besheva newspaper reports that Yoel Zilberman, a former officer in an elite IDF unit, requested to be released from duty to protect his father who owns a ranch and was beaten by Bedoin. Yoel started guarding his father's ranch and learned that other farmers were experiencing the same attacks and harassment.

Yoel Zilberman's protection posse

Yoel formed a mounted posse to assist protecting other farms from his father's fate. My question is, why do the farmers need protection and why aren't they protecting themselves?

I have been told stories of those who did protect themselves from Arabs and ended up in jail. I also just learned that if the police pay attention to the Dromi bill that was passed within the last year or so, the victims are entitled to protect themselves and their property without fear of being jailed and prosecuted,,,about time. Now, someone needs to tell the corrupt police about this law. If the police can't handle this and forgoe the extra income, let the army do the job.

Bedoin are also extorting protection cash from farmers so that they won't be attacked on their land. Is the Israeli population so blind, selfish and complacent as to not care what is happening in heavy agricultural areas or, do you want to be held hostage with the Arabs controlling farmland and the supply and prices of vegetables and meat?

These farmers are still connected to the land, our Jewish historical land and need everyone's support.

It's appalling that the "regular media" hasn't addressed this, So I suspect most Israelis don't know what is going on and worse, probably don't care.

It will be interesting to see what the reactions will be when an Arab knocks on your door and tells you the property is now his- get out, your government has given it to me,,,Tel Aviv look out!

Think about it!
