`Europe died in Auschwitz`
Author: Sebastian Villar Rodriguez
Sept 23,2005
The following is an article written by a Spanish journalist, Sebastian Villar Rodriguez.
Europe died in Auschwitz
"I was walking along Raval (Barcelona) when all of a sudden I understood that Europe died with Auschwitz.
We assassinated 6 million Jews in order to end up bringing in 20 million Muslims!
We burnt in Auschwitz the culture, intelligence and power to create. We burnt the people of the world, the one who is proclaimed the chosen people of God. Because it is the people who gave to humanity the symbolic figures who were capable of changing history (Christ, Marx, Einstein, Freud...) and who is the origin of progress and wellbeing.
We must admit that Europe, by relaxing its borders and giving in under the pretext of tolerance to the values of a fallacious cultural relativism, opened its doors to 20 million Muslims, often illiterates and fanatics that we could meet, at best, in places such as Raval, the poorest of the nations and of the ghettos, and who are preparing the worst, such as the 9/11 and the Madrid bombing and who are lodged in apartment blocs provided by the social welfare.
We also have exchanged culture with fanaticism, the capacity to create with the will to destroy, the wisdom with the superstition.
We have exchanged the transcendental instinct of the Jews, who even under the worst possible conditions have always looked for a better peaceful world, for the suicide bomber.
We have exchanged the pride of life for the fanatic obsession of death. Our death and that of our children.
What a grave mistake that we made!!"

Supreme Court Passes Up PLO Case
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 11:04 a.m. ET
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court refused Monday to
overturn a $116 million judgment against the Palestine Liberation Organization in the deaths of a Jewish couple near the West Bank.
The PLO, and its governmental entity, had been sued in
federal court in Rhode Island over the 1996 drive-by
shooting of Yaron Ungar, an American citizen, and his
Israeli wife, Efrat, as the couple returned home from a wedding.
The family's relatives argued that the PLO and Palestinian Authority provided a safe haven and operational base for the Islamic militant group Hamas, which was responsible for the attack. A judge issued a default judgment after the PLO did not respond to requests for depositions from Yasser Arafat and others.
Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, the lawyer for the
PLO, told justices in the appeal last month that Ungar relatives have ''commenced sweeping national and international efforts'' to collect the millions of dollars, including an attempt to seize Palestine's U.N. Mission building in New York.
Clark said U.S. courts ''are marching off to the conflicts
of the Middle East and elsewhere carrying with them the integrity of the U.S. judiciary and risking the foreign perception that U.S. courts will extend their jurisdiction globally deciding the most sensitive political questions affecting the foreign policies of the U.S. and other nations as they go.''
The case is Palestine Liberation Organization v. Ungar,
05-510.

16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence
November 25th – December 10th
November 25th is the first day of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence. This is an annual worldwide campaign to raise awareness about the high prevalence of violence against women around the world, and to encourage the international community to dramatically improve their efforts to protect women and children. The campaign began in 1991 and now includes more than 800 organisations in nearly 100 countries. The time period from November 25 to December 10 encompasses four significant dates: November 25, the International Day Against Violence Against Women; December 1, World AIDS Day; December 6, the anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, when 14 women engineering students were murdered by a male student; and December 10, Human Rights Day.
Violence against women is a major cause of death and ill health world-wide (including ‘developed’ countries) and an affront to basic human rights. Amnesty International states that violence against women is the world's most pervasive human rights violation, and the world’s lack of action to deal with it is the greatest human rights scandal of our times. From birth to death, in times of peace as well as war, women face discrimination and violence at the hands of the state, the community and the family. Research from the United Nations shows that a quarter of the world’s women are raped during their lifetime. Depending on the country, 25 to 75 % of women are regularly assaulted at home.
In Australia, violence against women is the major cause of illness for women, exceeding all other causes of ill health. Despite the knowledge we now have, this violence appears to be escalating at a frightening pace. Yet in Australia interventions to deal with violence and its effects have been decreased over the last decade in Australia. It is time the Australian public became more educated and aware of the nature of this violence, which afflicts over a third of Australian women who have ever been partnered, and frequently results in debilitating psychological and health effects.
This year NCJWA will hold events to raise awareness of these issues and involve other women’s organisations from the Australian Coalition of Women.
• NSW Section will hold a forum at Council House on 5 December at which Jane Mulroney, Director of the Australian Domestic and Family Violence Clearinghouse, and Monica Mazzone from the NSW Women's Refuge Resource Centre will speak.
• In Adelaide Anne Morris has organised for Marie Hume from the National Abuse Free Contact Campaign to speak to members of Zonta.
As Chair of the Portfolio for Socio-legal Issues/Women & Children I urge all members to support these initiatives.

Anti-Semitism:the politics of envy!
Anti-Semites and Anti-Zionists have tried and still want to eliminate Israel and the Jews for the last 2 millenia..
It is pure envy of the successes of a minority in the world.
For example:
At least 170 Jews ( inc. 7 Israelis) and persons of half-Jewish ancestry have been awarded the Nobel Prize, 1 accounting for 22% of all individual recipients worldwide between 1901 and 2005, and constituting 37% of all US recipients 2 during the same period. In the scientific research fields of Chemistry, Economics, Medicine, and Physics, the corresponding world and US percentages are 26% and 39%, respectively. (Jews currently make up approximately 0.25% of the world's population and 2% of the US population.)
a.. Chemistry (28 prize winners, 19% of world total, 27% of US total)
b.. Economics (22 prize winners, 39% of world total, 53% of US total)
c.. Literature (13 prize winners, 13% of world total, 27% of US total)
d.. Physiology or Medicine (52 prize winners, 28% of world total, 42% of US total)
e.. Peace (9 prize winners, 10% of world total, 11% of US total)3
f.. Physics (46 prize winners, 26% of world total, 38% of US total)
also:
a.. Jewish Recipients of the US National Medal of Science (156 recipients, 37% of total)
b.. Jewish Recipients of the Kyoto Prize (25% of recipients)

With the prospect of early elections in Israel by February or March comes the opportunity for pundits to trot out their favorite theories on whether a Likud or a Labor prime minister would be more likely to bring peace to the area, give the Palestinians a hard or a harder time and what would be the reaction from a variety of recumbent and redundant Arab regimes.

ISI LEIBLER in THE JERUSALEM POST
Isi Leibler, former leader of Australian Jewry now resident in Israel criticises an American Jewish leader for lobbying Condoleeza Rice to apply pressure on Israel.
Leibler argues that: "THERE IS obviously something sick in the state of World Jewry when purportedly mainstream leaders feel that they can lobby freely against the security policies of the democratically elected government of Israel. If this sort of behavior is to be tolerated we may as well write off our one remaining ally - Diaspora Jewry."
I agree.MM

When Seymour met Condi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ISI LEIBLER, THE JERUSALEM POST Nov. 23, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Until recently, Diaspora leaders all agreed that on matters relating to security, Israel and the Diaspora are not equal partners. It is Israeli citizens who will face the consequences of decisions made by their elected government, whereas Diaspora Jews will not be called to make sacrifices on these issues. Simple morality should therefore presuppose humility and restraint, especially at a time when Israelis face a resurgence of terrorism and when most of the world is critical of Israel for seeking to pro t ect itself from neighbors who shamelessly orchestrate suicide bombings and rocket attacks.
I was therefore astonished to learn that when Seymour Reich, president of the left-leaning Israel Policy Forum, and his associates met with Secretary of State Co ndoleezza Rice, they actually urged her to pressure Israel to make concessions over the Gaza border crossing and other issues. They reportedly told her that by adopting a tough policy against Israel, "she would gain the support of Jewish Americans on both sides of the aisle."
Reich shamelessly told the media that "I have no doubt that we bolstered the secretary of state's instincts and strengthened her opinion that aggressive American involvement was needed to achieve practical results."
Of course Reich's group also added the mantra that the Palestinian Authority should be pressured to meet its commitment to fight terror.
Reich must surely be aware that Mahmoud Abbas has repeatedly reiterated his determination not to disarm Hamas, stating instea d that at a later stage, he might even co-opt Hamas to the Palestinian security apparatus so that the terrorists would then also receive salaries from the international funds set aside to promote the Palestinian economy.
We know that Condoleezza Rice and James Wolfensohn subsequently bludgeoned a pliable Dov Weisglass into conceding ground on security issues, despite appeals from Israel's top military echelons not to submit to such hazardous demands. The defense experts had warned that under the new arra n gements Palestinians would be able to smuggle heavy weaponry, including anti-aircraft missiles, into Gaza and the entire area could also be infiltrated by terrorists from abroad. The Sharon government's submission to these pressures is unprecedented and c ould exact a heavy price in Israeli blood in the future.
YET A former head of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, who considers himself a Zionist, has the unmitigated gall to boast that he and his group helped to convi nc e the secretary of state to take aggressive action to bring Israel into line; that he assured Condoleezza Rice that exerting such pressure would result in strong support from American Jews.
This is truly a sad day for Israeli-Diaspora relations, especially when in the absence of any meaningful concessions by the Palestinians, the government of Israel should have been able to rely on the support of American Jewry in their efforts to ensure the security and welfare of its citizens.
TWO AND half years ago, I publicly reprimanded Edgar Bronfman, the president of the World Jewish Congress, when on the eve of a meeting between President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, he co-signed a letter with former secretary of state Lawrence Eagleburge r c alling on the president to reject Israel's intention to build a "separation wall." Without consulting any of his WJC colleagues, Bronfman also took it upon himself to urge the president to exert pressure on Israel and apply "the same straightforwardne ss i n his meeting with Prime Minister Sharon" as he had with the Palestinian leadership.
A few days later, Bronfman went further and commented that had the Palestinians concentrated exclusively on killing Jews over the Green Line, avoiding attacking Jew s in side Israel proper, they would have achieved a Palestinian state and enjoy the support of the entire world. Jewish outrage forced him to apologize.
This behavior is reminiscent of the exploitation of politically naive liberals by communists during t he Cold War. Like their present-day counterparts, they were flattered, manipulated, and duped into adopting public profiles designed to influence public opinion in the interests of the Evil Empire.
THERE IS obviously something sick in the state of World Jewry when purportedly mainstream leaders feel that they can lobby freely against the security policies of the democratically elected government of Israel. If this sort of behavior is to be tolerated we may as well write off our one remaining ally - Diaspora J ewry.
I can only hope that American Jews will vent their anger at the hutzpa of those purporting to represent the Jewish community who lobby their administration to pressure Israel on security issues.
But the ultimate responsibility for this sorry stat e of affairs rests with successive Israeli governments and the Foreign Ministry which, for over a decade, abdicated its traditional role of liaising and guiding Jewish communities in relation to Israeli affairs.
Today that no longer prevails and, settin g aside the fact that ambassadors are now usually selected on the basis of cronyism or seniority rather than merit, most Jewish community leaders no longer retain the close liaison with ambassadors that was formerly taken for granted. The rot had its gene sis with the Oslo Accords when Israeli leaders told Diaspora Jewish activists that in view of the "irreversible peace process" their unified pro-Israel activities had become virtually superfluous. This void paved the way for partisans on both the right and left to indulge lobby for their narrow causes. Now, in the midst of a new election season - both here and in the US - this partisanship seems to have reached a new zenith as the Israel Policy Forum unashamedly lobbies the State Department to exert pressure to bring Israel to heel even if that entails riding roughshod over our security requirements.
This can still easily be reversed. The reality is that despite the enormous erosion and chaos which has occurred in Israel-Diaspora relations over the past decade, a mainstream Jewish leader is still required by his constituents to be a supporter of Israel - at least on matters relating to its security - and to behave accordingly.
If the government and Foreign Ministry were to vigorously take action to rest ore the relationship with Diaspora Jewish leaders, it would still find highly enthusiastic partners. And leaders like Reich who cross red lines would rapidly discover that most Jews, irrespective of political affiliation, would not tolerate such irresponsible behavior.
There is absolutely no room in the Jewish mainstream for actively canvassing against the security related policies determined by the democratically elected government of Israel.

Israel: Hebron Arabs complain about the behavior of ISM.
Hebron Arabs complain about the behavior of ISM.
.Arab leaders in Hebron have contacted the city's Jewish leaders for help in getting rid of self-proclaimed anarchist volunteers ( ISM ) who, they complain, are destroying their traditional way of life.
The anarchists, many of whom are members of the International Solidarity Movement, flock to flashpoints throughout Judea and Samaria, ostensibly to help PA Arabs contend with IDF closures and protect them from harassment. In actuality, many of the volunteers seek confrontations with IDF soldiers and local Jewish residents, taking advantage of their Western passports to cause havoc - knowing that, at worst, they will be deported, not jailed.
The local Arabs in the Hebron region whom the activists claim to be helping are now complaining that the American and European students behave in a provocative and offensive manner in Hebron's public areas. The Arabs say the activists disrespect the moral norms and standards of the local population.
Several local Arab residents told the Kol Ha'Ir newspaper that the activists have been exposing the local youths to drug use and sexual promiscuity. ..................................... In a bid to rid the region of the anarchists, local Arab leaders approached representatives of the Jewish community in Hebron - a rare, but not unheard of occurrence - in order to find a solution. The two sides agreed to have Arabic-speaking Jewish observers along Hebron's main thoroughfares to replace the anarchists in ensuring calm between the city's Jewish and Arab populations. The left-wings activists would then be informed by the local Arab population that they appreciate their offer to help, but that they are no longer needed. .................He added that the observers end up causing more trouble for the local Arab population, by antagonizing soldiers and brazenly leading local Arabs in between Jewish homes.
(Ignorant Western 'do-gooders' in search of a cause which is anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, anti-American and anti-Western should stay home and look after their own problems!))

Intelligent design: the True Origin of the Internet !!!!
"In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of
Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot.
And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of
leg. Indeed, she had been called 'Amazon Dot Com.'
And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why dost thou travel
far from town to town with thy goods when thou can trade without ever
leaving thy tent?"
And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle
bags short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, dear?" And Dot
replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send
messages saying what you have for sale and they will reply telling you which
hath the best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by
Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."
Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way
with the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success.
Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever moving from
his tent.
But this success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did
secrete himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused of insider
trading. And the young man did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly
take to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican
Siderites, or NERDS for short.
And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and
the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches
were going to the drum maker, one Brother William of Gates, who bought up every
drum company in the land. And indeed did insist on making drums that would
work only with Brother Gates' drumheads and drumsticks.
And Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being
taken over by others."
And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or as it
came to be known "eBay" he said, "We need a name that reflects what
we are."
And Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators."
"YAHOO," said Abraham.
And that is how it all began. It wasn't Al Gore after all."
IT'S ALL BY INTELLIGENT DESIGN!
