More attempts by Muslims to ethnically cleanse Jews, Jewish history and Jewish holy sites from the face of the earth. And nothing but silence from the rest of the world. Via JPost:

For centuries Jews, Christians and Muslims came to Al-Kifl, a small town south of Baghdad, to visit the tomb of the Prophet Ezekiel and pray.

The Al-Kifl shrine has a distinctive Jewish character, namely the Hebrew inscriptions and the Torah Ark.

The vast majority of Iraq’s Jewish community left some 60 years ago, but Shi’ites took good care of the holy site – until now.

Recently the Iraqi news agency Ur reported that a huge mosque will be built on top of the grave by Iraq’s Antiquities and Heritage Authority, while Hebrew inscriptions and ornaments are being removed from the site, all as part of renovations.

Prof. Shmuel Moreh of Hebrew University confirmed the report. “I first heard the news of tomb desecration from a friend of mine who is a German scholar. After visiting the site he called me and said that some Hebrew inscriptions on the grave were covered by plaster and that a mosque is planned to be built on top of the tomb.”

“Someone must intervene before it’s too late,” Moreh warned.

More mendacity from the fabricated entity commonly referred to as “Palestine”.  Via Palestinian Media Watch:

In an interview on official PA television on Oct. 22, historian Nabil Alqam first denied thousands of years of documented Jewish history in Israel, then replaced it with “4,000 to 5,000 years” of fictitious Palestinian history.

Placing Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims in Israel in biblical times is historically impossible: The name “Palestine” was coined by Rome only in 136 CE, and for nearly 2,000 years Jews were the only Palestinians the world recognized.
Islam was established only in 610 CE. Arabs first arrived in Israel with the Muslim invasion in 637 CE.

In spite of the fact that Arabs have been slaughtering Jews since the late 1880’s, Barack Hussein Obama blames Israel for the 1967 “occupation” even though Israel was attacked first in a coordinated aggression that started when Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran and Arab armies amassed on Israel’s borders to invade and liquidate the state.

The West Bank and Gaza, which were controlled by Jordan and Egypt from 1948 to 1967 came under Israeli control only during the Six Day War of 1967 and it is important to note that during their 19-year rule, neither Jordan nor Egypt made any effort to establish a Palestinian state on those lands. Israel has, in fact, returned most of the land that it captured during the 1967 war and right after that war offered to return all of it in exchange for peace and normal relations; the offer has been rejected multiple times.

The land that Obama calls Palestine is formerly a part of Jordan.  Sixteen years after the founding of the state of Israel and three years before the Six Day War in 1967, Fatah was founded in 1964 with Arafat as one of its founding members.  Unless causality has no meaning, the ongoing war against Israel was born with no reference to 1967 but, rather, with Jews living in their own indigenous homeland and Israel’s re-birth in 1948.

The fact that Jews in the British Mandate have been attacked by Arabs since the early 1900’s -  was not because of any territorial dispute – but is because Jews exist.

In fact, Arabs themselves are occupiers in the Middle East – Arabs belong in Arabia and have no right to Egypt, Syria, Jordan, or Lebanon, so Obama needs to be corrected and reminded that Judea, Samaria and Gaza are not Israeli-occupied territory but Arab-occupied territory.

With the exception of Egypt, all the countries of the Middle East are artificial creations. After World War I, England and France carved up the Ottoman Empire, with England retaining what are now Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel and Iraq, and France being in possession of what are now Syria and Lebanon.

But because Obama has Muslim roots, he will keep diapering and bottle feeding palestinians and will never admit that palestinians are not exactly chained to their homicide belts and kassam rockets.

Obama needs to answer this:

If Israel is responsible for Muslim wrath, please explain what Israel did to encourage Syria to swallow Lebanon, to encourage Saddam Hussein to unleash a bloodbath against Iran, to encourage Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait, to encourage Kuwait to expel hundreds of thousands of “palestinians”, to encourage the Taliban to destroy the Bamiyan Buddha statues in Afghanistan, to encourage the slaughter of Christians in the Sudan, to encourage the bombings in Bali that killed 202 people, to encourage church bombings in Pakistan, or to blow up 200 Indians on the railroad system in Bombay.

The oft-repeated Arab claim that the Israeli ‘occupation’ is somehow to blame for being the root cause of palestinian terrorism is nothing more than an empty retort, repudiated by the facts, and disproved by a century of historical reality.

Obama needs to learn about the longest running war, the war of
hatred that Arabs have perpetrated upon Jews including the 1929 Hebron Massacre when Arabs shot and murdered 66 innocent Jewish men, women and children while praying in a synagogue in Hebron, before there was an “occupation”.

To those of us disgusted with the demonization of Israel, the Nazification of
Zionism, the politicization of all things Israeli, the Arab oversimplification reducing all discussions of Israel to the “palestinian problem”,
we have assholes like Obama telling us how to think, feel, react, emote,
and otherwise curl up and go submissive, while he sprinkles his
speeches with historical revisionism in foreign countries.  What a detestable fraud he is.

There is nothing more disgusting than Muslims who de-legitimize non-Muslims.

The fact of the matter is that it’s not Israel that causes MidEast unrest, it’s Islam.  Islam is unhinged.  It is the global Muslim rejection of Israel’s right to exist and not Israeli policies that are the cause of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

How detestable that we have a president, a World Citizen, who denies how mohammedans are ethnically cleansing Gaza, Lebanon and TransJordan of the indigenous Jews from their ancient homeland of Israel with genocidal Muslim zombies raised on milk from their mother’s breast full of hatred for the infidel.

It’s too bad that Obama’s own Muslim identity politics interferes with his ability to know facts and history.  But that’s who America elected.  It is outrageous in the extreme that the US has a president that accepts a scheme that would permit Arabs to have an ethnically cleansed geographical region where no Jews can live.

Thank goodness for two-term presidential limits.

President Obama’s speech at the UN, with its reference to ending “the occupation that began in 1967,” implies, perhaps unintentionally, that Israel’s occupation of the West Bank is the cause of the Arab-Israeli conflict. This clearly inverts cause and effect. Terrorist activities against Israel had started years before the “occupation,” and the PLO, committed to the destruction of the Jewish state, was founded in 1964.

On May 13, 1967, the Egyptian dictator Gamel Abdel Nasser announced that two Egyptian divisions would move into the Sinai Peninsula bordering on southern Israel – contrary to international agreements, U.S. commitments and UN guarantees. Shortly after, Cairo announced that it would block all shipping to the port of Eilat, Israel’s only maritime outlet in the south, while Egyptian Mig21 war planes began flying over Israeli territory. Concurrently, Syrian and Iraqi forces were ordered to prepare for an assault on northern Israel. On May 30, King Hussein of Jordan signed a military agreement with Egypt’s Nasser, including a Jordanian commitment to join Egypt in any war with Israel. Its “Arab Legion” was put under Egyptian command.

The rest is history. Israel achieved complete victory in a war of legitimate self-defense against blatant aggression whose declared aim had been its obliteration. Successive American leaders declared that Israel should never be asked to go back to its former vulnerable borders. This is what 1967 is all about: not “ending” occupation, but making sure that Israel will never again be put in a situation like the one it faced in 1967.

“Palestine” no longer exists in the same way that Biafra no longer exists, yet “Palestinian” Arab children are taught through formal and informal education to see a world in which “Palestine” replaces all of Israel, and Israel, for the uninformed, is a legitimate and sovereign nation.  Via Palestinian Media Watch-IMRA:

Palestinian children are taught through formal and informal education to see a world in which “Palestine” replaces all of Israel.

Two children’s quizzes broadcast last week on Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority television show how the PA routinely teaches its children to identify all Israeli cities as Palestinian cities.

In the two quizzes on PA TV, children were asked to identify Palestinian  cities. The suggested answers were exclusively Israeli cities: Haifa, Jaffa, Acre and Tiberias.

The following are the transcripts of the PA TV quizzes:

Quiz 1: Haifa, Jaffa and Acre are “Palestine”
Host reads clue: “Where is Palestine’s most important port, in Haifa, Jaffa or Acre?”
Child: “Jaffa.”
Host: “Is it correct?”
[Checks computer.]
Host: “Bravo!”

Quiz 2: Jaffa, Acre and Tiberias are “Palestine”
Host reads clue: “There’s a Palestinian city whose walls are very high and strong, and Napoleon, whom we all know, stopped his battle, because he was unable [to breach] the solid walls. Which city is it, Jaffa, Acre or Tiberias?”
Child: “Acre.”
Host: “Applause, bravo!”

The following are examples from PA schoolbooks, which also teach Palestinian children to imagine a world without Israel:

“Coastal states differ in terms of their access to water sources, such
as…: states located on sea coasts with accesses to two seas, for example:
Palestine and Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.”
[Physical Geography and Human Geography, Grade 12, p. 105]
“Palestine has a long coast facing the Mediterranean Sea and a short coast on the Gulf of Aqaba.”

[Health and Environment Studies, Grade 8 (2003), p. 130, the Israeli city of Eilat is on the Gulf of Eilat (Aqaba) - Ed.]

“The Tiberias Lake [Sea of Galilee], in Palestine.”
[Physical Geography, Grade 5, p. 25]

Critical evidence negating the claim that the Arabs in the Land of Israel had been there “from time immemorial.”  Via IsraelNN.com:

Fatah chief Mahmoud Abbas says the Arabs of the Galilee city of Tzfat left in 1948 not because they were driven out, but on their own volition.

Many biographies of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas imply that his family became “refugees” because of the War of Independence in 1948. For instance, a BBC profile on Abbas when he succeeded Yasser Arafat as PLO chairman in 2005 writes, “In the light of his origins in Safed in Galilee – in what is now northern Israel – he is said to hold strong views about the right of return of Palestinian refugees.” Answers.com states, “As a result of the Arab-Israel War of 1948, he became a refugee.” Wikipedia articles on the topic say the same – all giving the impression that the Abbas family was driven out and became homeless.
It is notable that the Abbas family moved back to Damascus, as that is likely the place where it had originated less than 90 years earlier.

However, Abbas himself – co-founder of Fatah with Arafat, and known as Abu Mazen – now tells a different story. Speaking with Al-Palestinia TV on Monday, Abbas admitted that his family was not expelled or driven out, but rather left for fear that the Jews might take revenge for the slaughter of 20 Jews in the city during the Arab pogroms of 19 years earlier.

In the words of Abbas (engineer of the “Black September” terror attack during the Munich Olympics, which killed 11 Israeli athletes and a U.S. citizen on September 4, 1972)

“I am among those who were born in the city of Tzfat (Safed). We were a family of means. I studied in elementary school, and then came the naqba [calamity, namely, the founding of the State of Israel – ed.]. At night, we left by foot from Tzfat, to the Jordan River, where we remained for a month. Then we went to Damascus, and then to our relatives in Jordan, and then we settled in Damascus.

“My father had money, and he spent his money systematically, and after a year, the money ran out and we began to work.

“The people’s basic motives brought them to run away for their lives and with their property. These [motives] were very important, for they feared the violence of the Zionist terrorist organizations – and especially those of us from Tzfat felt that there was an old desire for revenge from the rebellion of 1929, and this was in the memory of our families and parents.”

The “rebellion” Abbas referred to was a series of brutal Arab attacks on Jewish towns in the summer of 1929. Nearly 70 Jews were slaughtered in their homes in Hevron, 20 in Tzfat, 17 in Jerusalem, and others were murdered in Motza, Kfar Uriah and Tel Aviv.

Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen, the current Palestinian Authority chairman, was also behind the Maalot High School Massacre in which 26 Israeli school children were killed and 66 were wounded, not including the immoral palestinian Muslim terrorists. This slaughter was planned by Mahmoud Abbas, the current “moderate” head of the PLO.

Here is a PowerPoint Presentation on Mahmood Abbas, a.k.a. Abu Mazen, via Israel Behind the News. (You will need to have a PowerPoint Player to view this). The 22 slain youths are referred to as the “22 Flowers”. They are buried together in a special enclave in the Safed Beit Olam.

Did anyone else catch Pres Obama’s revisionist interpretation of American history in his inaugural speech?  If you had, then you can say good-bye to the Judaeo-Christian ethic that has so enriched this country and upon which this country was founded.   Hugh Fitzgerald at JihadWatch explains what Obama purposefully rephrased, his intentional re-wording and why what Obama said is a foreboding sign of things to come for Christians and Jews in America.
