Abbas: No 'historic compromise' on Jerusalem, borders

Jerusalem Post "Abbas also reiterated his rejection of Netanyahu's demand that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state. "We're not talking about a Jewish state and we won't talk about one," Abbas said in an interview with the semi-official Al-Quds newspaper. "For us, there is the state of Israel and we won't recognize Israel as a Jewish state.""

Minister wants Obama to become Ameer-ul-Momineen

Khilafah.com *"Durrani argued that Muslim World was in "dire need" of a Caliph and the distinguished slot of Caliphate would earn President Obama the exemplary titles of what he termed, "Mullah Barrack Hussain Obama" or "Allama Obama." "The time is approaching fast. Barrack Hussain Obama must act now. This is a golden opportunity, Muslims badly need it," he added, saying that the elevation of President Obama to Muslim's Caliphate would be the "key to success.""
*"The ‘Clash of Civilisations’ first discussed by Samuel Huntington is real and inevitable. We endorse the notion that there is a civilisational difference between Islam and the West and that the problem for the West is Islam and the problem for Islam is the West. By arguing this, we also maintain Islam, as a universal ideology, came for all of humankind, Muslim and Non-Muslims, and as such it is only Islam that serves as a Rahma (mercy) for all mankind. As the western ideology dominates the world today, the only challenge to it must come from Islam. "

Big Labor’s Stealth Card-Check Strategy

National Review "The harbinger of this new strategy is Obama’s appointment of Craig Becker to the powerful National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the federal agency that dictates the contours of American labor law. Becker, a former Big Labor lawyer, is a walking conflict of interest — despite a career spent crafting SEIU legal strategies, he has refused to recuse himself from several cases before the NLRB involving that union’s local affiliates.
"Becker has also suggested that card-check legislation could be implemented administratively, without congressional authorization. And from his new perch at the NLRB — an agency dominated by Big Labor–friendly appointees — Becker is in a position to do just that."

Teen: Security Told Me To Remove U.S. Flags

Denver News ""She said I should take my flags down. She said this is a school that focuses on diversity and she doesn't want anyone to feel uncomfortable," Stoppel said.

When politicians use the word "investment", hang on to your wallet

Neal Boortz "Regardless of what Obama calls this ... it is simply another huge stimulus bill designed to benefit those who vote for and support Democrats. That would be unions. As this money is spent there are three things of which you can be drop-dead certain:
1.The money will be spent now necessarily where it is needed, but where it will benefit Democrat officeholders.
2.The contractors hired to complete these projects will be union contractors. If not, they will be forced to pay prevailing union wages.
3.Any attempt to use E-Verify .. the federal program designed to week out illegal aliens from employment, will be challenged and defeated by Democrats. Might as well do a bit of Hispandering while you're crawling into bed with union leaders."

The New Netanyahu?

Caroline Glick "When asked if they believed that Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas is serious about making peace with Israel, two-thirds of Israelis said no. Only 23 percent said he was serious and 17 percent said they didn't know.
"Moreover, most Israelis have had it with the peace paradigm based on Israeli concessions of land and national rights in exchange for Palestinian terror and political warfare. "

Thomas Sowell: Political Fables

Townhall "President Barack Obama boldly proclaims, "The buck stops here!" But, whenever his policies are criticized, he acts as if the buck stopped with George W. Bush.

"The party line that we are likely to be hearing from now until the November elections is that Obama "inherited" the big federal budget deficits and that he has to "clean up the mess" left in the economy by the Republicans. This may convince those who want to be convinced, but it will not stand up under scrutiny."

A growing movement among Jews strives to assert sovereignty over the Jerusalem Temple Mount

JewsForSarah.com "The al-Haram ash-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary) consists of nearly 40 acres of religious structures and gardens, including the Aqsa Mosque in the south and the Dome of the Rock in the center. Muslims consider this to be the place from where Muhammad made his journey from Jerusalem to heaven. It is their third most holy site. According to evangelical Christians, the Temple Mount must be rebuilt in order for Jesus to return and bring on the End of Days."

Mounting Tensions “The Temple Mount has always been at the center of national awareness,” says Berkovitz. “The call of the rabbis from the Zionist religious movement has enhanced the longing that has always existed for site.

"Currently,” he concludes, “there is a vacuum of sovereignty on the Mount. And we all know that a vacuum like this cannot be sustained.”" Jerusalem Post

Helping American Jews learn to give Sarah Palin the love she deserves

Bookworm Room "I don’t know whether Sarah is ready to be president, whether she is electable (given how much the Left’s hatred permeates society, infecting people who are casual about their politics), or whether she is actually presidential material. Only time will tell. What I do know about Sarah is that she is a truly admirable American, many of whose values resonate with me and with most Americans (even those prejudiced Jews); that she is a bone-deep philosemite, whose appreciation for Jews extends to the state of Israel; and that she is a political powerhouse who cannot and should not be ignored."
"So, please, check out Jewish Americans for Sarah Palin ."

Time Magazine is Already Blaming Israel if Peace Fails (Revised)

American Thinker "Yet there is no front page article about why Gaza, the PLO, and Israel's many other enemies do not want peace. If such an article was written it would be very short; it would be because for Israel's enemies, the total destruction of Israel is far more important that any peace agreement."
