On the evening of September 2, dozens of Jewish supporters of Israel gathered across the street from the Israeli Consulate in New York City. They called upon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “just say no to demands for more concessions from Israel that will continue to endanger the lives of Jews throughout Israel.” Organized by Helen Freedman of Americans For A Safe Israel, the demonstration came at the end of the first round of direct peace talks between Prime Minister Netanyahu, Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas and U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House.
U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell, along with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, met with Abbas and Netanyahu for 90 minutes, and the two leaders pledged to work together to maintain security and to reiterate their goal of a two-state solution. The three-way meeting was “long and productive,” Mr. Mitchell said, adding that the leaders pledged to work in “good faith” and with “seriousness of purpose.” He said Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Abbas then went off on their own for a one-on-one meeting, which may have been designed to build trust between the two leaders. There were no notetakers or translators in either of the meetings.
The U.S. sponsored peace talks come on the heels of the heinous murder of four Jews in the Hebron region on August 31st. Talya and Yitzchok Imas, Kochava Even-Chaim, and Avishai Shindler were gunned down in cold blood by Hamas terrorists at the Bani Naim junction just south of Hebron. This was followed by yet another drive-by shooting on Route 60 between the Rimonim Junction and the Jewish community of Kochav HaShachar in the Binyamin region of Samaria, which left Rabbi Moshe Moreno and his wife Shira moderately wounded. A Fatah cell calling itself the “Al-Namir” cell of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack, as did Hamas.
AFSI coordinator Helen Freedman stated: ”It’s all very well for the ‘Quartet’ led by President Obama to decide that ‘peace’ must come to the Israeli-Arab situation within the next year, but what are the Arabs saying? And what are they doing? Where is the control of anti-Israel terror and incitement?” Holding aloft Israeli flags and signs saying, “No Negotiations With Terrorists: Just Say No,” “Bibi: Trust in Hashem, Not Them,” and “No Palestinian State,” the demonstrators braved the oppressive 97 degree New York City heat as they chanted, “Jewish blood is not cheap” and “They kill and we build.”
The cold hard reality.
The only way to win at PR against a pro-terrorist left and its Islamist allies, is to take the war off the table by winning it. Because an indefinite crisis will bring enemies out of the woodwork, and give bigots plenty to feed on. That's the cold hard reality of it. The only way Israel can win the PR war, is by defeating the terrorists. Trying to win the PR war in order to be able to fight the terrorists, has been a common mistake in the Israeli paradigm. Dispensing with that paradigm as quickly as possible and winning the fight, is the only way to get the monkey of hate off Israel's back as explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/s… http://xrl.us/biz8x
As far as I'm concerned, we can do a lot to support Israel by exposing the soft white underbelly of Islam for all to see. Muslims in the US and abroad are constantly pushing the envelope to curtail our free speech rights and many others. We need to push back through the media. Since the mass media in this country will never expose anything rotten about Islam unless it is forced to, our only choice is the internet. The internet is extremely effective, however, at pushing the envelope:

Evil cannot stand to be mocked. Mockery exposes the truth, so I intend to mock the terrorists as much as is humanly possible.
Israel will have to do the deed on its own, unfortunately. Obama does not have the will, and, even if he had the will, he doesn't have the guts. As for the Rest of The West – we can forget about them, as their attempts at placation (stemming from their sheer cowardice) has already allowed Iran to hold the trump cards. So, what is the "deed" that Israel has to do on its own? Go for the throat of Iran – NOW!! Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland.
Let us all say "Amen!" to nojihad, and to Akhmadinejad, let od all say
"Puck mahone!
Nice one, Yankee – Thank You! "Póg mo thóin" (pronounced "Pogue muh hone" – the "pogue" as in "rogue", meaning, as I know you are fully aware, "Kiss My Ass"). Although we Irish, being a bit more coarse than our American friends, would say the four letter version of "Ass" (with the "R" in situ!).
I will be with you all in spirit on 9/11. May God Bless the United States of America!

The notion of a "two-state" solution to the war between the Arabs and Israel is based on the Soviet propaganda that Arabs are "Palestinians," and deserve a separate state in Judea and Samaria. "Palestine" has always been synonymous with "land of the Jews" or "the Holy Land" (since Jesus was a Jew), and "Palestinian" synonymous with "Jew," since the Roman Emperor Hadrian changed the name of Judea to Palestina in 135 A.D., after he had defeated the last Jewish rebellion under Bar Kochba. He also outlawed Judaism
That is why the Zionists wanted the "Palestine Mandate" and Great Britain was awarded the
"Palestine Mandate" after World War I to be the "homeland for the Jews."
The Soviet Union and Gamal Nasser founded the "Palestine Liberation Organization" in Cairo in 1964, and since then Soviet propaganda claimed that Arabs were "Palestinian" with all the phoney history that has gone with it. Arabs do not need, nor deserve, yet another state.
