A victory for factual and historical truth.  A knife in the gut of palestinianism, which is nothing less than a movement to ethnically cleanse Jews from their historical homeland.  Via Washington Post:

The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday, in a 344-36 vote, passed a nonbinding resolution that urges President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton “to oppose unequivocally any endorsement” of a UN report that accuses Israeli forces of war crimes in Gaza last winter. Twenty-two representatives voted “present.”

More information via Rep. Berman’s Response to Goldstone on House Gaza War-Crimes Resolution:

* After Judge Richard Goldstone wrote to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard Berman (D-Calif.) to say that a resolution denouncing Goldstone’s report was factually inaccurate, Berman prepared a reply discussing some factual inaccuracies in the Goldstone report:

* Goldstone: The “mandate clearly included rocket and mortar attacks on Israel.”

Berman: “The broadened mandate Justice Goldstone sought was discussed, but not voted on, at a UNHRC plenary session. It was then announced via a press release in an altered formulation, more restrictive than the formulation envisioned by Justice Goldstone. The UNHRC did not create a new mandate.”

* When summarizing the results of investigations into alleged Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians, the report states that “in none of the cases reviewed were there any grounds which could have reasonably induced the Israeli armed forces to assume that the civilians attacked were in fact taking a direct part in the hostilities.” The report does not take into account that Israeli soldiers were operating under fire, in an extremely volatile and dangerous environment, in which the enemy was hiding among a civilian population.

* The report uncritically attributes numerous statements to “Gaza Authorities” (meaning, Hamas), while often casting doubt on information derived from the international and Israeli press and from non-government-affiliated Israelis. Perhaps most tellingly, the report appears only to cite Israeli statements when it finds such statements a useful basis for criticizing Israel.

The Muslim Taliban have published a codex that offers the right and wrong way to kill, kidnap and maim — and, deems government officials and GIs as perfect targets. Via FoxNews.

WARDAK PROVINCE, Afghanistan —  As elections draw near in Afghanistan, it appears the Taliban are launching a hearts-and-minds campaign of their own.

In recent weeks, Mullah Mohammad Omar, commander of Taliban forces, has released a code-of-ethics handbook that, among other directives, warns his followers not to conscript children or target innocent people. It also says bombs should be used to kill only government officials and coalition soldiers.

In the 62-bullet-point handbook, homicide bombers get specific instructions. They are to “be fully-educated in their mission”; they are to target “high ranking people”; and they are to “try your best to avoid killing local people.”

Taliban followers are further prohibited from smoking cigarettes, using captured vehicles for their personal use, cutting noses, lips or ears off detainees, and drafting “youngsters that have no beard.”

The handbook — written in Pashto and obtained through U.S. military sources — is entitled “Afghanistan Islamic Emirate Rules and Regulations,” and it is addressed to the “Mujahideen Pashto,” or Taliban commanders.

More Jew hatred and incitement from Islam.  Here is a video and transcript from a Friday sermon at Khartoum, delivered by Sheik Abd Al-Jalil Al-Karouri about those Jews, intended for President Hussein’s ears – and boy, those are one set of ears.  No doubt this video was meant to rattle Barack Hussein Obama’s Muslim identity politics because everyone knows that Muslims never do anything wrong and that Jews do everything wrong.  The sermon aired on Sudan TV on June 5, 2009.  Via MEMRI-TV.

Watch, listen and smell the stench of Islamism as it pours out of the mouth of one of its many spokespersons, Abdallah Fahd Abd Al-Aziz Al-Nafisi, as he describes in detail -- with delight -- of his desire for a fellow Muslim to kill 300,000 Americans with anthrax.  Also notice the audience applauding in agreement.  Hey, Barack Hussein Obama, are you listening?  Via MEMRITV.org:

On Al-Jazeera TV, Kuwaiti Prof Suggests a Biological Attack on White House, Prays for Bombing of Nuclear Plant on Lake Michigan

Following are excerpts from a speech by Kuwaiti Professor Abdallah Al-Nafisi, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on February 2, 2009.

Abdallah Al-Nafisi: “Four pounds of anthrax -- in a suitcase this big -- carried by a fighter through tunnels from Mexico into the U.S., are guaranteed to kill 330,000 Americans within a single hour, if it is properly spread in population centers there.

“What a horrifying idea. 9/11 will be small change in comparison. Am I right? There is no need for airplanes, conspiracies, timings, and so on.

“One person, with the courage to carry four pounds of anthrax, will go to the White House lawn, and will spread this ‘confetti’ all over them, and then will do these cries of joy. It will turn into a real ‘celebration.’

Sheik Himam Sa’id, Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, said on Arabic TV last week:

“People of Hebron – you are now waging a war against the Jews. You are well-versed in this. We saw how, on a day in 1929, you slaughtered the Jews in Hebron. Today, slaughter them on the land of Hebron. Kill them in Palestine. Arise, oh people of Palestine…arise and face the [PA] Preventive Security forces.”

“What will you say to the Jordanian government? Expel the Jewish ambassador from Amman. Amman is pure, and the Jewish ambassador must not defile its soil….Stop normalization with the Jews. Stop all imports and exports with the Jews. Our markets are full of Jewish vegetables and Jewish fruits. Traders who bring these fruits and vegetables are traitors, collaborators.”

Via The Sejil: A New Iranian Missile.  h/t Daily Alert.

# On Nov. 12, the Iranian media reported the test launch of a new missile called the Sejil. According to Iranian Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar, the missile is two-staged, with both stages powered by solid fuel and a range “close to 2,000 kilometers.”

# Developing a solid fuel propelled two-stage missile indicates considerable technological know-how that differs greatly from the liquid fuel technology that has characterized Iranian missiles to date. Therefore, claims made by experts that this is in fact a Shahab-3 missile with a different logo have no foundations whatsoever.

# A solid fuel missile does not require a long, complicated process of fueling a short time before its launch, and is more mobile and therefore harder to locate prior to its launch.

# The existence of Iranian ballistic missiles is meant primarily to deter other countries from attacking Iran. Their existence does not constitute a reason to assume automatic Iranian use of these missiles to attack targets.

# Israel has long been within Iran’s missile range. As long as there is no change in the warhead (i.e., the development of a nuclear warhead), there has been no change in the threat against Israel, though the fact that the missile is solid fuel propelled reduces its vulnerability.

# There is a large gap between test-firing one missile and equipping an army with enough missiles to represent a threat with operational implications. Thus, even if the recent test was successful beyond all expectations and the missile goes into serial production in the near future (which is not very likely), one may safely assume that several years will pass until Iran can deploy a significant number of missiles of this type.

The Muslim barbarian, Imam Samudra, was executed yesterday.  About 300 people gathered around the home of Samudra’s mother in the village of Lopang Gede in West Java before his burial yesterday. Thousands more were waiting at the local mosque and the cemetery, where Sumudra was buried next to his father.

Samudra, along with fellow bombers Mukhlas and Amrozi, was executed early yesterday for placing the bombs which ripped through two Bali nightclubs just over six years ago, killing 202 people.

Members of an extremist group, the Islamic People’s Forum, were carrying posters with a photo of Samudra and the slogan: “Mujahid Bukan Terroris“, meaning “Islamic Warrior not Terrorist“.

Muslim groups rallied outside the home of the dead barbarian Bali bomber, Imam Samudra, and distributed a letter written by him, calling on supporters to continue his fight against enemies, including Israel and the US.

What is significant is that 65 million Americans who voted for Barack Hussein Obama forgot about this episode of Islamic terrorism.

What is also significant is that 55 million Americans who voted against Barack Hussein Obama did not.

Hamas mouthpiece Ahmed Abu Helbiya called for more suicide attacks against Israel as thousands of Palestinians marched through Gaza in honor of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day, an Iranian-declared observance.
