Jerusalem Day: America Tips its Hand

"It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it." ~Zechariah 12:3

May 14, 2007 - As Israel prepares to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the reunification of its beloved, indivisible capital, Jerusalem, she was given a prophetic wake-up call, of sorts, from her presently-relevant friend to the West. The United States--an ally whose friendship with and support of Israel remains directly proportionate with her political obedience to President Bush's "vision" for a "Palestinian" state, provided a foreshadowing of things to come over the weekend by boycotting Wednesday's national celebration of the 40th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem under Israeli rule. Notice the use of the word "rule", and not "occupation"--the terminology of choice used by the global media coverage of this week's events. In so doing, America continues to pressure God's country with a clear message: "You must give up East Jerusalem." Read this article in its entirety: Jerusalem Day

Cause of Death: Apathy

May 10, 2007 - A 62-year old Israeli man was killed earlier this week in a town just south of Tel Aviv when his moped was struck while he attempted to pass a cement truck. In an age in which everyone is simply in a hurry to get nowhere--and fast--road fatalities are nothing new. In Israel, this incident only adds to an existing and unfavorable statistical record of traffic fatalities.

However, this particular incident warrants not only a second look, but deep scrutiny as well. As the video you are about to see shows (To view, click picture), Moshe Yisraeli is seen lying on his back in the middle of the street whilst bleeding to death as a seemingly endless caravan of rush hour drivers steer their vehicles around his body not with the intention of coming to his aid and possibly saving his life, but to avoid running him over as they apathetically and pathetically continued to their destinations.

It should be said that the video does indeed show multiple drivers who eventually stopped to assist Mr. Yisraeli, albeit it comprises a very small portion of the footage. However, the mere fact that, as he bled to death on his back in the middle of an intersection, several dozen drivers went out of their way to redirect their paths around his body without any intention of stopping makes this incident of "road apathy"very difficult to comprehend.

Such is the immoral nature of the immoral world in which we immorally live...

Have Done with Political CAIRrectness

May 9, 2007 - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has reportedly applauded the FBI's efforts in thwarting a potential terrorist massacre of US troops on the Fort Dix army installation in New Jersey. Yesterday, a group of Islamic militants who've become known as the "Fort Dix Six" were arrested after a clerk at a video store became suspicious when the group of wannabe-terrorists requested that the store convert several "jihad training" tapes to DVD format. The tapes contained footage of the group firing assault weapons at a firing range whilst yelling "Allahu Akbar".

In a press release distributed yesterday, CAIR--an Islamic civil rights advocacy group--stated the following: "We applaud the FBI for its efforts and repeat the American Muslim community's condemnation and repudiation of all those who would plan or carry out acts of terror while falsely claiming their actions have religious justification. We continue to urge American Muslims to be vigilant in reporting any suspected criminal activities that could harm the safety and security of our nation." This coming from the same civil rights group who recently filed a lawsuit on behalf of the "flying imams"--the six Muslims who were ejected from a flight on which they wreaked of suspicious activity--on the grounds of civil rights infringement they claim occurred when several, "vigilant" passengers reported their suspicious behavior. Can the store clerk who reported the suspicious actions of the "Fort Dix Six" look forward to a CAIR-free existence? How close did his political incorrectness come to making its way onto their legal "hit list"?

Of particular interest is the fact that of the "Fort Dix Six", five were foreign-born; three were illegal immigrants. But hey, let's not allow something so trivial as demographics of this nature get in the way of slappin' some social security benefits on those illegal immigrants. Right, Speaker Pelosi?

Also of particular interest was a statement made by Sohail Mohammed, a lawyer whose representation included numerous post-Sept 11 detainees. "...when the government says 'Islamic militants,' it sends a message to the public that Islam and militancy are synonymous. "Don't equate actions with religion," he said.

Yes, Americans, please refrain from blackening the eye of Islam. After all, what purpose is served when a clear connection is made linking the "religion of peace" with gun-toting, hate-spitting terrorist thugs who nefariously shout "Allahu Akbar!"(translation: "God is Great!") before escorting their victims, and themselves, to their eternal destinies?

This wreaks of political correctness. Don't tell me to what I should or should not equate the actions of a band of murderous zealots whose pervasive and vitriolic ideology speaks for itself. In this day and age, if it looks like a pig, smells like a pig, and squeals like a pig, a sequel to "Charlotte's Web" isn't too far behind.
