Tehran forces Iranian Jews to join anti-Israel Global March - at great risk


DEBKAfile Exclusive Report, March 23, 2012

The Islamic regime in Tehran was not satisfied with the public support from the Iranian Jewish community for the Global March to Jerusalem for which Iran is recruiting Islamists worldwide. Now, the event’s organizers, Majlis Speaker Hossein Sheikh-ol-Eslam and Salim Ghafouri, has ordered the community to send a Jewish delegation to march with the Islamist groups in Lebanon, debkafile’s Iranian sources disclose.

The delegations are scheduled to mass on the Lebanese and Jordanian borders with Israel and at the West Bank and Gaza checkpoints on March 30, when Israeli Arabs mark Earth Day every year.

Iran’s ancient Jewish community of around 15,000 souls (9,000 in Tehran, 4,000 in Shiraz and 1,300 in Isfahan) has been living in fear of reprisals should Israel or the United States carry out a military operation against the country’s nuclear facilities. Now, they face a fresh danger of murder and abduction by Hizballah and Palestinian gunmen and terrorists in Lebanon....

Migron is not the issue but rather all of Judea and Samaria!
Press release


Women in Green, March 26, 2012

Migron. Then Givat Assaf. Then the Ulpana neighborhood. Then Charesha. Givat Yovel.

The many petitions by "Peace Now" and their partners against Jewish life in Judea and Samaria might have as a result that each community deals only with their personal issues, trying to solve their own community's specific problems in their own way, with their connections, their strengths, their resources.

That is how those meant for expulsion might be dragged into long technical and legal procedures, trying to "kasher" this or that outpost or community, without having the time, energy and funds to deal with the root of the problem, which is: the need to apply Israeli sovereignty over all of Judea and Samaria. This is needed in order to once and for all declare by law the future of the main national spine of Israel - Judea and Samaria, Israel's G-d given Biblical Homeland....

Hating Israel
Bruce Thornton


FrontPage Magazine, March 26, 2012

Before he was killed by French police, the jihadist murderer of three French-Algerian soldiers and four Jews, including three children, said that he was driven to killing by the “murder” of Palestinian children by Israelis. Of course, when all else fails blame the Jews. But this excuse is a mere pretext, a propaganda tactic for finding Western moral support by exploiting the unsavory anti-Jewish prejudices still lurking in too many Westerners.

The narrative that the Israeli “brutal occupation”  of the “Palestinian homeland” is the cause of jihadist violence is a hoary cliché, a jihadist pretext for terror enabled by Western anti-Semitism and pop psychology. Examples of this received wisdom are easy to collect. French foreign minister Hubert Védrine in 2002 explained increasing anti-Semitic attacks and car-burnings in France by saying, “One shouldn’t necessarily be surprised that young French people from immigrant families feel compassion for the Palestinians and get agitated when they see what is happening. The historian Tony Judt in his history of post-war Europe concurred, agreeing that the attacks were “a direct outcome of the festering crisis in the Middle East.” Repeating this received wisdom, General David Petraeus, in his 2010 Congressional testimony, said that the Arab-Israeli “conflict foments anti-Americanism sentiment, due to a perception of U.S favoritism for Israel. Anger over the Palestinian question limits the strength and depth of U.S. partnerships with governments and peoples” in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Meanwhile, al-Qaeda and other militant groups exploit that anger to mobilize support.” No doubt cognizant of the Western penchant for blaming Jews, Osama bin-Laden added Palestine to his ever-growing list of pretexts for attacking America: “The creation and continuation of Israel,” he lectured us in 2002, “is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals.”

Of course, bin Laden was never short of pretexts for rationalizing murder. First it was the American troops stationed in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War. Then in 2004, he said American involvement in Lebanon in 1983 made him hate America. Elsewhere, he claimed that the U.S. had waged “a war against Muslims” since 1945. Yet in his statements after 9/11, bin Laden mentioned the real reason: the “humiliation and disgrace” inflicted on Muslims by the dissolution of the caliphate in 1924. That, not the creation of Israel, is the real “catastrophe” for Islamists, the culmination of three centuries of Western encroachment into the House of Islam. For theorists of jihad like Muslim Brothers Hassan al Banna and Sayyid Qutb, the existence of Israel was merely a symptom of a larger corruption of Islam by Western ideas that opened the door to the Western dominance that made Israel possible in the first place....

The Palestinian Human Rights Nightmare
P. David Hornik


FrontPage Magazine, March 27, 2012

The notion that Israel is victimizing the Palestinians is one of the cardinal—perhaps the cardinal—paradigms of international politics since the 1967 Six-Day War. Not only the left, both in Israel and abroad, subscribes to it, but also a large part of the U.S. foreign policy establishment, and just about all of official Europe. It goes without saying that the paradigm is regnant in the Arab and Muslim worlds.

It is hard, then, to get anyone interested in Palestinians victimizing Palestinians—suggesting that the seeming preoccupation with Israeli-ruled territories has something to do with the great value many people find in the Jew-as-victimizer prototype. Similarly, once the United States—supposedly the oppressor—had left Southeast Asia in the early 1970s, it was hard to get any but a few of the opponents of that presence interested in the ensuing horrendous victimization of Vietnamese and Cambodians by other Vietnamese and Cambodians.

Last week, though, an Israeli outfit called the Jerusalem Institute of Justice (JIJ) tried to buck the trend. It presented to the European Parliament a report on "The Status of Human Rights on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip." The reports notes that "a surprising silence prevails regarding the violation of human rights by the Palestinian government authorities in the Territories," and that, even though these are by now widely documented, "the EU continues to push for full and immediate statehood for the [Palestinian Authority]."...

Terrorists Plan Cyanide Attack on Olympics

Al Qaeda-linked terrorists are plotting a "hand cream attack with cyanide" on the London Olympics, the London Sun reported Monday.

A website, linked to terrorists, posted detailed instructions in Arabic on how to mix cyanide with a hand cream that can be absorbed through the skin, according to the newspaper

Cautioning terrorist to use medical gloves while handling the materials, a radical named Abu Hija Ansari issued instructions on how to prepare the deadly material: ""Through skin: 1 – cyanide, 2 – skin cream. Mix the ingredients. The skin cream will open the pores in the skin and speed up the absorption and effectiveness of the poison."

The Sun said it used a false identity to access the website, which has 17,000 members and links to six Al Qaeda terrorists,...
