Palestinians show their support for the Nazi ideology Palestinian television used the occasion of the Muslim month of Ramadan to broadcast programming with a distinctly anti-Jewish theme, including a sermon in which Jews were called "cursed … the brothers of monkeys and pigs," reports Palestinian Media Watch. It is interesting to note that Imans from Saudi Arabia use the same racist language (click here for details), and Imans from Iraq use it when describing Americans (click here for details) - this monkey business must have some kind of special meaning in the Arab/Muslim world (are monkeys infidels?). Palestinian TV is funded by the European Union. I copy the full article below.
![]() Paramedics try to revive an Israeli baby after a mass murderer from the Palestinian group 'Islamic Jihad' blows himself in a bus A suicide bomber blew himself up onboard a bus in Jerusalem at about 9:15pm on Tuesday, killing at least 18 people and wounding scores, many among them children. Israeli radio reports that there were many children killed and injured in this massacre - including a one month baby who lies in critical condition, alone; the hospistal staff does not know who and where are his parents. Israeli radio also reports that the government of Israel has frozen all diplomatic talks with the Palestinians - in any case it is clear the Israeli army will not leave the 4 West Bank cities as planned, and control of these cities will not be handed over to Arafat's murderers as agreed last week. I also just heard that the alert level of the IDF (Israel's army) has been raised. The IDF is now just one level under total mobilization. I copy the full article below.
Antes, uma apresentação. Nós judeus brasileiros, que redigimos esta carta, não pertencemos a nenhum partido de direita israelense. Pertencemos sim ao time de torcedores por uma convivência pacífica entre o Estado de Israel (menor que Sergipe) e as nações árabes (do Marrocos ao Paquistão). Ou seja, entre cinco milhões de judeus e seus trezentos milhões de vizinhos árabes. Enfim, entre a única democracia do Oriente Médio (onde inclusive seus cidadãos árabes são eleitos livremente ) e vinte ditaduras, regimes fundamentalistas e monarquias.

On September 9, 2001, three Israelis were killed and dozens of Sunday morning commuters were wounded when a suicide bomber exploded in the train station in Nahariya, an Israeli city.
Morel Derfler, 41 Father of 2 Murdered by the Hamas Morel Derfler, a professional photographer, traveled to Nahariya on Sunday morning with his relative by marriage, architect Dr. Yigal Goldstein to work on a project in the nearby town of Shlomi. A terrorist carrying a bomb waited near the train station in Nahariya until the train arrived from Tel-Aviv. As the passengers were exiting the station, he detonated the bomb. Morel Derfler and Yigal Goldtstin were two of the three people killed in the explosion, in which some 90 were injured. To send condolences or to donate to Inbal Weiss's family, please click here. I also copy below an article with more information on the suicide bombing.
Yesterday's deliberate attack on civilians that killed 7 unarmed students and wounder over 90, was executed by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas (Islamic Resistance) which promptly (and proudly) claimed responsibility for the murders. ![]() A Palestinian murderer becomes a culture's hero (click on the picture to see a high-res version) The above poster is a montage that includes a picture of one of these barbaric excuses for a human being with a background of his Jewish/Israeli victims dying or burning. Posters like this are displayed in many public places and private houses across the West Bank and Gaza - they are a favorite of Palestinian kids. To better understand why many Palestinians and Arabs/Muslims are proud of killing babies and children, Stefan Sharanksy (Shark Blog), has created a page with additional pictures and translated stories from the Hamas website. Take a look at the pictures on this organization's own website and see for yourself how this group chooses to honor itself. The Al-Qassam Brigade is about killing, being killed, and the celebration of killing. None of this killing seems to serve any strategic plan, except as blind revenge, an expression of religious hysteria, and as a placeholder for a viable program for creating a Palestinian state. In short, the Al-Qassam Brigade can best be described as a psychotic death cult. Click here to check Stefan's page of the Hamas Psychotic Death Cult.
While world leaders roundly condemned Saturday's killing of Hamas military leader Abdullah Kawasmeh in Hebron, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon praised the operation. Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said Sunday there will be others like it if the Palestinian Authority does not tackle the terrorists itself. The Hamas and other terrorists such as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Arafat's Al-Aksa brigades reject peace and wish for the destruction of Israel and the genocide of her citizens. Click here for a list of homicide bombings executed by these mass murderers and click here for the stories of some of the victims. There will be no cease-fire ("Hudna" in Arabic), since the only purpose of such a cease-fire would be to allow these murderers to re-organize after the fatal blows the Israeli army has executed in the last few days. No cease-fire with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad while we continue the peace talks with Mahmoud Abbas. I like it. I copy the full article below.
The Muslim fundamentalists and the anti-Semitic left are part of a new fascism - this articles gives many examples of how both of these forces are particularly strong in France. Here's an example: "This is a vision that the French--particularly given the French left's obsession with race, and their history of romantic attachments to Third World guerrillas--are in danger of embracing. The philosopher Alain Finkielkraut notes that, in France, "support for the Palestinian cause is not shaken but reinforced by the indiscriminate violence of Palestinians." See below for the full article and link.
A special anti-terror unit stormed a house early Thursday morning - in which a Palestinian terrorist had been holed up for three hours in Moshav Maor – and killed the lone gunman without any injuries to residents or troops. I lived in a Moshav a couple of years when I was in Israel - it's basically a small village. Can you imagine what it feels like to have a Palestinian terrorist enter your house at 1 AM with the clear intent of murdering your kids and your wife? Moshav Maor is only 6 miles away from Kibutz Metzer where on 11/10/2002 Palestinian terrorists deliberately murdered five Israelis: one young man, 2 women and 2 children aged 4 and 5 - click here for that story. Here's my prediction on AP and Reuters' title of the coverage of this story: "Israeli army kills one Palestinian". I copy the full article below.
As you can see from the graph above, in the last 24 hours I have received many bad marks. It's a sad reminder of how many people hate Jews and Israelis out there. These bad marks have nothing to do with the content or the site itself, since I have received hate messages from people that did not bother to go through the site. They simply hate me because I am Jewish and support the State of Israel against Palestinian terrorism. I'll leave this graph here just to remind me that our struggle against racism and anti-Semitism is far from over - the graph is automatically updated as people cast their vote.

'Become a Muslim warrior during the crusades or during an ancient jihad." Thus read the instructions for seventh graders in Islam: A Simulation of Islamic History and Culture, 610-1100, a three-week curriculum produced by Interaction Publishers, Inc. In classrooms across the United States, students who follow its directions find themselves fighting mock battles of jihad against "Christian crusaders" and other assorted "infidels." Upon gaining victory, our mock-Muslim warriors "Praise Allah." I copy the full article below.
The Jerusalem Post (www.jpost.com) has an excellent article by Carline Glick on "Yom Hashoah" and how we should reject the European fetish with the Holocaust: [...] The Holocaust, in and of itself, tells us nothing about Jewish identity. It only tells us about the rest of the world. The Jews of Europe did not decide to die. They neither seized territory nor did they plant bombs in German cafes. The Holocaust was a German initiative, carried out by Germans and millions of collaborators from France to Greece to Poland to Lithuania. The decision to prevent the Jews' escape from Europe to the Land of Israel belonged to Britain. I copy the full article below.
"On Friday my daughters drew me a picture, and on it they wrote: daddy we are proud of you," David Hatuel said at the funeral for his wife Tali, and daughters Hila, 11, Hadar, 9, Roni, 7, Merav, 2. Tali was eight months pregnant. I coy the full article below.
![]() An Israeli woman in shock, after a Muslim homicide bomber murdered 4 and injured over 50 A terror attack took place this evening in Tel Aviv killing at least 4 people and injuring 50. Magen David Adom emergency medical services has stated that 10 people are in serious to critical condition. ![]() "Mike's Place', an American bar in Tel-Aviv, and the target of a Palestinian homicide bombing While most of the Western media is reporting on how the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza have a new "Prime Minister", Mahmoud Abbas, Arafat's thugs continue their campaign of death and terror. Mr. Abbas has declared that he will attempt to stop the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas from deliberately murdering Israeli women and babies. I hope that's true, but I seriously doubt it. In the meantime, the Israeli army will continue to hunt down the murderous Islamic Palestinian terrorists wherever they are. I copy the full article below as well as a letter LGF has published that describes "Mike's Place", the bar that was hit. For more pictures, click here.
Rachel Levy, 17, murdered by a Palestinian genocide bomber Rachel Levy was a senior at the Sieff High School. Fellow pupils from her photography class at school said that she was an excellent pupil, and that an exhibition of Rachel's photographs is being held at her school. "She was a charming girl, allways smiling and pleasant. simply a wonderful person," said a relative. "She loved books, music, and sports," said her mother. May God bless her memory. The female genocide bomber was a member of the Al-Aksa brigades, a terrorist group that is financed and organized by Yasser Arafat and other thugs of the Palestinian Authority. I copy the full story below.
In this Friday "sermon" the Imam (something like a Muslim priest) calls for the "anihiliation of the Jews" and supports genocide bombers (he calls them "martyrs"): The following are excerpts from a Friday sermon delivered by Palestinian Authority Imam Sheikh Ibrahim Madhi at the Sheikh 'Ijlin Mosque in Gaza City, broadcast live on April 12, 2002 by Palestinian Authority television. This garbage was put on air on Palestinian national television, which is funded by the European Union and completely controlled by Arafat and his thugs. I copy the full translation below.
