Europe ignores Iran’s deadly mix of anti-Semitism and nukes

Europeans frequently view Iran’s genocidal threats against Israel as a way to make use of the annihilation of European Jewry as a catharsis to alleviate their guilt-ridden history.

Arab warns of PLO agenda; founds "P.Z.O."- Palestinian Zionist Organization

For the first time since pre-State days when Zion and Palestine were synonymous terms, a “Palestinian Zionist Organization” has been established – by Arabs.

The latest Arab to show his public support for Israel is Elias Issa, who describes himself as a “European West-Bank Palestinian.” He writes that he chose a unique approach by which to celebrate Israel’s 62nd birthday – namely, by launching the Palestinian Zionist Organization. He says his goal is “to show the world why it must support the Jewish people and to [distance itself] from the terrorist Palestinian government.”

Statements on the new website include warnings that a new PA state, if it were to arise, would “become the most terrorist state in the world… The Palestinians don't believe in a two-state solution; they only believe in a one-state solution - a land called Palestine [which] does not involve any Jewishness."

Issa, who now lives in the United States, explains that the international community is blind “to what's truly going on in this Middle East conflict. [I hope] to make a difference by shining a different kind of light on the Palestinian-Israeli situation.”

The website notes that “more and more Palestinians” are going public in their support for Israel. Just last month, Mosab Hassan Yousef – the son of a Hamas founder and leader – published his autobiography, detailing how he spied for Israel for a decade, preventing dozens of suicide attacks and exposing numerous terrorist groups. He later converted to Christianity and moved to the U.S.  (by Hillel Fendel in Israel National News).

New rap song, "I"m proud to be a Zionist" for Israel Independence Day

by Anti-Thesis MC, Zionist Rapper

"Yo, it’s time to set the record straight, 

Fed up with all the man proclaimin all this hate

No room for debate, well hold up wait

Cos anti-thesis comin to step up and state

Yo the movement of my people been getting this stick

Equated with racism and other bullish

And if you can’t see it – that’s just foolish

So shut up and listen, to my hip hop schooling

We talking freedom, emancipation

A home, a land for a persecuted nation

Liberation, democratisation

A dream fulfilled, a Jewish safe haven

2000 years this desire had lied

Dormant but restive – it never died

In the 1800s, it was brought to life with this

Movement of my people, proud to be Zionists

   Chorus
I’m a Zionist – and yes I’m proud
I’m a Zionist – so shout it loud
I’m a Zionist – that’s my vocation
I’m a Zionist – self-determination for the Jewish nation
I’m a Zionist – and I’ll never cease
I’m a Zionist – who just wants peace
I’m a Zionist – and I say it with poise
I’m a Zionist – if you are too, then make some noise!

Antithesis gotta give my props, respect
To the man who got this all going and rocked the set
To be honest though, there’s no way this verse’ll
Come close to doing justice to Theodore Herzl
Ben-Yehuda, course rocked the language tip
And I already showed him love on Ivrit Daber Ivrit
Ahad Ha’am represented for the people
A cultural centre was his ideal
A man of steel was my boy Jabotinsky
I wish I had time to stand and list the
Endless achievements of AD Gordon
Love the land was his plan, and it was awesome
The Lord was put forward by the man Rav Kook
His intellect and stature never done shook
That’s the look, so take pride in it
Pay respect with me, cos I’m proud to be a Zionist
  Chorus
I’m a Zionist, so give me my word back
There’s too many man, trying to turn that
Into something negative, something bad
I’m a Zionist who ain’t ashamed, I’m glad
That I support universal suffrage, free press
Only place in the Middle East to pass that test
Nothing less, cos we strivin for perfection
It’s a work in progress, like all other Western
Nations, but to be Zionist don’t equal extreme
Don’t make you obscene, unkind or unclean
What it means, is that you believe that the Jewish state
Has a right to exist, secure and safe
People livin without fear, living in peace
That’s the essence of a Zionist belief
No more beef, I’m done defining it
Join with me and shout that we proud to be Zionists"

The Campaign against Israel (and how well are we overcoming this crisis)?

The greatest threat to Israel's survival may be her enemies' campaign to delegitimize the state in politics and media.  Israel National News reports:

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu decided Thursday night to cancel his previously announced participation in the Nuclear Security summit scheduled to take place in the United States next week. Instead, the prime minister will send a delegation headed by Minister of Intelligence and Atomic Energy Dan Meridor. 

The Prime Minister, still smarting from Obama's reception at the White House recently,  did not entirely trust White House assurances that there would be no discussion of Israel's nuclear arms situation at the conference - and the administration's adherence to a 1969 understanding with Washington that it agreed with Israel's ambiguity and would not pressure Israel on the subject. 

The cancellation followed rumors that Arab and Muslim states planned to demand that Israel sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, as have 189 countries. Turkey and Egypt were among those countries allegedly planning to use the conference to pressure Israel.

Chris Mitchell, the Jerusalem Bureau Chief of CBN News, reports. His video report includes statements from Caroline Glick, Dore Gold, US Gen. (ret.) Jerry Boykin, Philipe Karsenty, and Dan Diker.

Pat Boone: 'It is in America's interest to ensure Israel's rights over their own historic homeland'

Watch this exclusive Joo-Tube video interview with Pat Boone filmed in Beverly Hills.

Published on Easter Monday in NewsMax: "Differing from virtually every previous U.S. president, Mr. Obama seems to accept the claims of the Palestinian leadership, even the violent Hamas, that the land given by God and settled by Israelites thousands of years ago now rightfully belongs, at least in large part, to settlers who moved into the area only in the last 200 years.

And though the Balfour Declaration and the United Nations — and most of civilized society the world over — have acknowledged and verified Israel’s claim to their historic homeland, this president is doing everything he can to pressure Israel’s leaders to cave in to the demands of the terrorists.

Just a few days ago, after months of directing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to put the screws to Israel’s leadership, and pointedly and publicly favoring Palestinian demands over the rights of Israel to make its own decisions, he humiliated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the White House. As the London Times headlined it, Barack Obama "Dumped Him For Dinner.”

The able and much respected Netanyahu and his aides had flown to Washington to bolster the Israel/American accord and to explain in person why new dwellings have been planned in Jerusalem, Israel’s ancient capital. Obama and his aides have been all but ordering Israel to stop all building (on their own land) that offends the Palestinian leadership.

This, the same Palestinian leadership that continues to rain rockets and missiles and other forms of terror on the Israelis. When the meeting seemed be going nowhere, the president walked out to have dinner with his wife — leaving the startled prime minister and his aides, saying “Let me know if there’s anything new.” And he never came back.

In 1948, President Harry Truman was also in the middle of a historic conflict over the Jews and their claim to their ancient homeland. His advisers were all urging him to ignore that claim and side with the much larger Arab contingents who were denying that claim and threatening to “drive them into the sea.” Politically, the Arab side was the expedient one.

But Truman knew his Bible, and he was agonizing over the decision.

On March 13, his old friend and former haberdashery partner Eddie Jacobson flew in to Washington from Kansas City. The two old friends spent an hour behind closed doors in the Oval Office, during which time Eddie reminded Harry of what they both knew of God’s promises to the Jews. And when the doors opened, President Truman had decided the United States would be the first nation to grant diplomatic recognition to the new state of Israel on May 14, 1948.

Long after he left the White House, Harry Truman declared that decision was the most important of his presidency.

I want America to blessed, don’t you?  Israel deserves the eternal right over their own historic homeland.

What we need is another Harry Truman in the White House."
