Op-ed:

Israel’s business leaders have finally realized they cannot let the last chance for a peace agreement go down the drain 

Sever Plocker: Economy can’t grow without peace

In September 1993, before Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin traveled to the signing ceremony of the interim agreement with Arafat in Washington, bulletin boards in Israel were decorated with a glaring blue poster reading, “Only he who dares wins.”

That’s defeatist BS. I agree with Carl in J’lem:

Who says we need peace to have a strong economy?

For those of you who have bought into the Obama-Kerry-Livni-Peres nonsense that we need ‘peace’ to have a strong economy, please considerthis.

A few facts for those who think that “peace” is necessary for a strong economy:

1. During 65 years of conflict Israel has created a stunning economic miracle;
2. In the last 25 years of conflict Israel was one of the fastest growing economies in the OECD;
3. In the last 5 years of conflict Israel was THE fastest growing economy;
4. The IDF 8200 unit was identified by Startup Nation as a key source of the innovation that makes Israel a Hi-tech leader;
5. The other OECD country competing with Israel for title of fastest growing country: South Korea (another country facing existential threats);
6. The slowest growing OECD economies: the “peaceful” EU countries;
7. The 65 year old Arab boycott of Israel has been a total failure and helped destroy Arab economies.

We don’t need ‘peace’ for a strong economy. If anything, ‘peace’ in scare quotes is far more likely to destroy the economy that we have.

A message to Ahmad Tibi

A message to ‘Israeli Arab’ MK Ahmad Tibi, who walked out of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Knesset speech on Monday because Harper pointed out the ridiculousness of calling Israel an ‘apartheid state.’

West doesn’t care about Syrians

• Europe’s indifference to bodies piling up in Syria eliminates its right to lecture anyone, anywhere

The poster called on Rabin and Peres not to delay the signing and to reach as soon as possible what at the time appeared to be at arm’s length: A peace agreement with the Palestinians. This go ahead greeting to Rabin was signed by owners and CEOs of Israel’s biggest companies, who are today derogatorily called “tycoons.” The signatures were collected by businessman Benny Gaon

Obummer Diplomacy

President Barack Obama will not attend the games, but he’s sending gay and lesbian former athletes, including tennis great Billie Jean King as part of the official U.S. delegation.

The move is intended as a kind of protest against Russia’s policies toward homosexuals, one that could further inflame anti-U.S. sentiments in the areas of Muslim unrest.

This NYT piece aims to highlight the desperate plight of Palestinian “refugees” living in a refugee camp in the West Bank.

What it really does, though, albeit unintentionally, is demonstrate how the UN via UNRWA maintains a permanent population of permanently angry, ginned up, entitlement-crazed “refugees,” and that that in itself is a huge problem. (Scaramouche)

What did Reverend Martin Luther King think about homosexuality?

Martin Luther King Day 2014 will be filled with politicians, pundits and stories about his “I have a Dream” speech. Dr. King was a pastor, a man of faith, a believer in God the Almighty first and foremost.

Perhaps it is appropriate to look at what Dr. King taught about homosexuality. His remarks are not unlike those of Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty. King explained that “just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town.” …READ MORE . . .

There is no end to this. The EUSSR is already governed by unelected, unaccountable commie scum, the U.S. is run into the ground by a totally clueless, preposterous Marxist Muslim, while the rest of the world is either being wrecked by third world despots or criminal Muslim scum.

Russia warns about this woman who is a threat to the Olympics

The other day a jihad group in the Caucasus posted a video warning the Russian government to expect terror attacks against the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi. Today the threat to the Olympics has acquired a face: that of the “Black Widow” mujahidette Salima Ibragimova.

This young woman has a distinctive appearance, and it’s hard to see how she could move around the Sochi area without being detected. She can cover her facial scar, but even a burka can’t conceal the lameness in one leg. (Gates of Vienna)

Greta: ‘Obama Administration Tried Very Hard to Discourage Fox News From Reporting Benghazi’

On Thursday, Greta Van Susteren wrote at her blog, “After Benghazi on 9/11/2012, the Obama administration tried very hard to discourage Fox News Channel from reporting on it. The effort was obstruction – pure and simple.”

“They tried to prevent the truth from coming out and the Administration tried just about everything to discourage Fox from investigating and reporting,” she continued. “All the American people wanted, and all I ever wanted, was just the facts – why did 4 Americans die? What happened?”

“The Obama Administration put out that phony video story — but who could not have been suspicious of the Administration after hearing that?” Van Susteren asked. “Frankly, if they had been candid on day 1, the Benghazi story would have been over in short order. It would not be to the point we are now: with a Senate Bi Partisan Intelligence Committee report with the very painful conclusion that the murders at Benghazi could have been prevented.”

The Obama Regime is under suspicion for allegedly helping to smuggle children of illegal immigrants across the United States border. The federal government is a participant in an international human smuggling conspiracy.
