No more ethnic cleansing
Why is it important to dispense with the idea of "the right of return"? And why is it important for Israel to maintain Jewish communities on the West Bank?

Any other alternative would amount to a green light for anti-Semitic ethnic cleansing in the Middle East – something the region has witnessed far too much over the past 50 years.

Yasser Arafat has promoted the "right of return" as one more tactic in his ultimate goal for the destruction of the state of Israel. He knows it is impossible for millions claiming Arab refugee status to prove claims their property was ever taken from them. He knows the tiny Jewish state could easily be overwhelmed by Arabs laying claim to real estate or citizenship in Israel. He knows that the so-called "right of return" amounts to his "final solution" – a one-state solution that would permit the vastly out-numbered Jews in the Middle East to be voted out of their own country.

Likewise, it is imperative for Israel to protect its well-established Jewish communities in the West Bank, traditional Jewish lands, because the Palestinian Authority is on record as insisting no Jews be allowed to live in its future Palestinian Arab state.

This is one of the great untold stories of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Arafat and his allies demand that all Jews get out of the country they are attempting to create.

1. Joseph Farah of World Net Daily

"Why are the rules different in the Middle East? Why are the rules different for Arabs? Why are the rules different for Muslims?

Would America consider it acceptable if the new Iraqi government said the few Jews remaining in Iraq would have to leave? Would America consider it acceptable if the new Iraqi governing council said Christians would have to go?

Of course not. So why – even before a Palestinian state is created – why do we accept as a fait accompli that Jews should be forced off their land in the coming state of Palestine?

Why are U.S. tax dollars supporting the racist, anti-Semitic entity known as the Palestinian Authority?"


Are those naive enough to believe the above willing to drink all the punch offered up by the Bush boot licking Farah....

Here is more wisdom from the right wing us good - you bad camp.

Don't forget to add a spoon full a sugar. Helps the medicine go down and all...


Taking America Back is the third release for WND Books.

by Joseph Farah

Are you ready for another revolution?

We are losing America -- plain and simple. It’s time for every God-fearing American to take stock of where our great nation is heading ... before it’s too late!

Despite our nation’s greatness, we all know that America has problems. The traditional family unit is being attacked on every side. Higher and higher taxes continue to burden a smaller and smaller group of hardworking citizens. Our public schools have become a conduit for anti-family, anti-religion, and anti-morality messages. The entertainment industry pours immorality and violence into the minds of our children on a daily basis. And the list could go on and on.

Taking America Back is a blueprint for “reclaiming” America, piece by piece, one day at a time, one battle at a time. It’s time for radical, revolutionary action on the part of all who are brave enough to look reality in the face and do something – now -- to protect the time-honored values and first principles that made America great.

“It’s time to ignite the Second American Revolution,” writes Joseph Farah, editor and founder of WorldNetDaily.com. “It’s time to celebrate virtue and knowledge again. It’s time to wake up your neighbors so they can once again smell the sweet aroma of freedom ... Let’s take America back.”

In Taking America Back, author Joseph Farah reveals how we as a nation have moved from freedom fighters to comfort lovers. He says that it’s time to wake up and realize where our present state of affairs is taking us. It’s time for Americans to choose the kind of country in which we want to live.

According to Farah, “The choice is simple: The world of standards and morality, of marriage, order, the rule of law, and accountability to God? Or the world of anything-goes, aberrant sexual behavior, doing-your-own-thing lifestyles, and moral codes that change with the speed of the latest public-opinion poll?”

But how can we take America back? According to Farah, the only way Americans can re-establish their freedom -- their God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness -- is to break the hammerlock of statism and the notion that morally relativistic secular humanism holds the answers to controlling men’s passions and behavior.

Taking America Back exposes the weaknesses in America’s current system and offers practical solutions -- solutions that are real and doable. Solutions that can revive freedom, morality, and justice in our nation.

Here’s what others are saying about this book:

“Joseph Farah and I share a fierce passion for protecting children and a belief that without the Ten Commandments there would be no U.S. Constitution or Bill of Rights. Every American who shares our convictions should read this book.” -- Dr. Laura C. Schlessinger, Author of "The Ten Commandments"

“Joseph Farah has written a thought-provoking recipe for reclaiming America’s heritage of liberty and self-governance. I don’t agree with all the solutions proposed here, but Farah definitely nails the problems.” -- Rush Limbaugh

Joseph Farah is editor, cofounder, and chief executive officer of WorldNetDaily.com, the Internet’s largest independent news site. He is a veteran newspaper editor -- having run the Sacramento Union, the oldest daily paper west of the Mississippi; the news department of the Los Angeles Herald Examiner; and other dailies and weeklies. He is the coauthor of This Land Is Our Land and has collaborated on more than a dozen other books. Farah is also cofounder of WND Books.

6. 'Palestinians are a virus' - reader comment of the week

Virus warning!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new computer virus has been detected that you may want to take precautions against. This is the Palestinian Virus – a virus that settles in your PC, claims it was there before your PC was built or Bill Gates was born, then demands parts of your hard drive. If you want the virus to leave you and your PC alone, you can try to give the virus the hard drive space it wants, but it will refuse the deal and start killing data on your computer.

Some people have suggested a solution for this virus problem is to give the virus its own PC. As stated above, this virus has been known to refuse the offer. Other nearby PCs won't take the virus either, even if the virus is compatible with the other computers. The virus seems to want nothing less than to take over your entire computer together with the removal and destruction of all your data. Software-based anti-virus solutions have been proposed, but so far only hardware solutions have had any impact.

The only solution we have been able to determine that may work is the physical removal of the virus from your computer. The only problem with this solution is all the other computers will object, and you will be castigated in the media and by the U.N.

8. Ya, and muslims/Iraq were responsible for Oklahoma city

http://www.shopnetdaily.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=1537

by Jayna Davis

Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were not the lone conspirators in the Oklahoma City bombing -- the attack that killed nearly 170 people in a few short seconds. They were part of a greater scheme, one that involved Islamic terrorists and at least one provable link to Iraq.

That's the conclusion -- backed up by stunning evidence -- of this latest offering from WND Books. Written by the relentless reporter who first broke the story of the Mideast connection, is filled with new revelations about the case and explains in full detail the complete, and so far untold, story behind the failed investigation: why the FBI closed the door, what further evidence exists to prove the Iraqi connection, why it has been ignored, and what makes it more relevant now than ever.

Told with a gripping narrative style and rock-solid investigative journalism, and vetted by men such as former CIA director James Woolsey, Davis’s piercing account is the first book to set the record straight about what really happened April 19, 1995.

10. "Preachers of Hate: Islam and the War on America "

"Like no book before it, Preachers of Hate uncovers an ancient hatred that threatens the life and livelihood of every American. The “new” anti-Semitism targets not only Jews, but Americans specifically and the West in general. It targets our values, our lifestyle, and our freedoms. It is the single most important issue we face when trying to make sense of the Arab world."

"In Preachers of Hate, bestselling author Kenneth R. Timmerman (who is not Jewish) contends that, besides Islam itself, the core unifying force in the Muslim world is a virulent strain of anti-Semitism that postulates the existence of a Jewish conspiracy to take over the world."

9. Just aside from being racist this article lies
Edited on Sat Apr-17-04 01:48 PM by Classical_Liberal
The PLO has not insisted that the settlers leave. IF they want to be Palestinians or resident aliens they can stay. Farah also neglects to mention the fact that the PLO was originally in favor of one multicultural state. The Israelis started the ethnic cleansing trend. Anyway the right of return is no longer an issue since the settlements are here to stay. The Palestinians are living in an Israelis state and should fight for their rights as Israelis.

12. ELECTION 2004 Superrich stand to profit from Kerry
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38077

In addition to the Hollywood mega-elite, which since the death of Sam Goldwyn have opposed the GOP mainly for cultural reasons, billionaire businessmen have stepped forward calling for the defeat of Bush or his policies.

Most prominent has been speculator George Soros, who has pledged to raise $75 million to defeat Bush, given millions to Democratic Bush-bashing groups such as MoveOn.org, and told the Washington Post that ousting Bush is "the central focus of my life" and "a matter of life and death."
