CROCODILE TEARS

A veritable tsunami of crocodile tears from the Middle East, Europe and even from America is inundating the world media. The death of some 60 women and children resulting from the age-old Arab technique of fighting behind children and the skirts of women occasioned the outpouring. But instead of blaming the Arab Hizbullah for placing its rocket launchers and rockets in the center of civilian areas, the world led by the Arab crocodiles is blaming Israel, mainly, and the U.S., to a lesser degree.

The seeming concern of the “Arab Street” for the dead women and children is truly touching, but not sincere. Have we ever seen these same crocodiles shed even one tear for the 100 plus Muslim children, women and men murdered by Muslims every day in Iraq? Has any one ever seen a tear shed by an Arab or any other Muslim for the hundreds of black Muslim children that are starved to death or the women that are raped or the men that are murdered every day in Darfur by the “white” Arabs of the Sudan?

The tears of the Beirut and Gaza rioters would be touching, indeed, if they had shed some tears for the dozens of school children the Chechen Muslims murdered in Russia, or if they valued the live of their children so much that they didn’t send them out on suicide missions.

As for the European crocodiles, let us recall the copious tears they shed when the Germans and their co-conspirators murdered one million Jewish children. .

As for the teary Americas, they have not yet heard the ringing wake-up call from fundamentalist Islam, or maybe just Islam. 



PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ISLAM #2

We will rule the nations, by Allah’s will, the USA will be conquered, Israel will be conquered, Rome and Britain will be conquered. (We will) crush the Jews and expel them from our country Palestine. Just as the Jews ran from Gaza, the Americans will run from Iraq and Afghanistan.
- Yasser Ghalban




The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight (kill) the Jews, when the Jews will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say ‘O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’
- Article VII of the “covenant” of Hamas.

The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight (kill) the Jews, when the Jews will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say ‘O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me come and kill him.’
- Koran

She (Hamas suicide bomber Re’em Al-Riyashi) is not going to be the last because the march of resistance will continue until the Islamic flag is raised, not only over the minarets of Jerusalem, but over the whole universe.
- Mahmud Al Zahar (Hamas leader in Gaza)

Re: Danish cartoons: We should have killed all those who offend the Prophet, and instead, here we are, protesting peacefully.
- Mahmud Al Zahar

Today, the Arab and Islamic nation is rising and awakening, and it will reach its peak, Allah willing…It will regain the leadership of the world. Allah willing, the day is not far off.
- Khalid al Mish’al (leader of Hamas)



DO THEY REALLY LOVE JEWS BUT HATE ISRAEL?

The controversy over the Harvard University-University of Chicago Axis “expose” of the America-Israel connection continues to boil. A number of journalists and academics--Jews and non-Jews-- who only used to whisper their prejudices against Jews, now feel free to vent their feelings publicly under the guise of legitimate attacks on the U.S.-Israel connection. The so-called “legitimate” debate is based on the claim that American foreign policy favors Israel over other countries, no matter what. Also, that American foreign policy in the Middle East is dictated by from Tel Aviv. It’s Tel Aviv rather than Jerusalem because the American Government does not recognize Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, as the capital of Israel. The dictation seems to have gotten lost in the translation.

Isn’t is strange that the critics of America’s (not always unwavering) support for its only steadfast and dependable ally in the Middle East ignore America’s Middle Eastern connections with nations that despise everything about us and support terrorism against us with funding and Jihadists. Not strange if you understand the mind of the Jew-Hater.

A Norman Solomon, in an op-ed piece titled: “Claims of anti-Semitism prevent debate about Israel” goes all-out to defend the Arab “guerrillas” (no mention of terrorists who target civilians). It doesn’t appear that anyone prevented him from “debating” about Israel. In addition to quoting liberally from the Harvard-Chicago hatchet job, Mr. Solomon utilizes information from a variety of left-wing pro-Arab sources in Israel and elsewhere. One of the statistics that seems to bother him is that more Arabs than Jews have been killed as a result of the Intifada. He keeps reminding us that he is Jewish as if that means he loves Jews and Israel. 



BEWARE OF THE HOME DEPOT SCAM

A `heads up' for you and any friends you have who may be regular Home Depot customers. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you. 

Here's how the scam works: 
Two seriously good-looking 18-year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping in the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their bras’ tits almost falling out of their skimpy tee shirts. It is impossible not to look. 

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say 'No' and instead ask you for a ride to another Home Depot. 

You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start having sex with each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs oral sex on you, while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen April 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, three times just yesterday, and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

Take this warning seriously!



ONLY AN ITALIAN

On a recent transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence 
is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is s truck by lightning. 

One woman in particular loses it.

Screaming, she stands up in the front of the plane...If I am to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN?"

For a moment there is silence. Everyone forgets their own feelings of peril. They all stare, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane. 

Then a lone Italian man stands up in the rear of the plane. He is gorgeous: tall, well built, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. He starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt...one button at a time...No one moves...

He removes his shirt... Muscles ripple across his chest... 
She gasps... He whispers...

"Iron this, and get me something to eat..." 



NAMES
Names that fit and names that don’t.

Here are two personal names, one fits and one doesn’t plus a business name that’s problematic:

Jimmy Hoffa—it’s still an enigma as to where he is buried. His middle name is Riddle. A perfect fit.

Benjamin Bright-Fishbein, an American student in Israel was abducted when he strolled into Nablus, an Arab city. Luckily, he was freed, but Mr. Fish Bone was not too bright. His name is a perfect misfit.

Either the name makes no sense or the accompanying sign on this Stamford, CT real estate office makes no sense. The name of the office is Mia Casa. The sign, for those who do not understand Spanish, proclaims: We Speak Spanish!

READER’S COMMENTS

Re: Vol. VI, #8

Thanks for the Diogenes piece on Harvard. Your comments on TAU were astonishing. On the Sulzbergers, I have read that in the 1930s, when fascism began to obsess the European mind, The Sulzbergers decided that the Times could not be seen as a Jewish newspaper. So they buried the news items on roundups of Jews in small paragraphs on the bottom of inside pages; nothing very consequential.


Re: Vol. VI, #10
The quotes you listed in "Protocols of the Elders of Islam I" are similar in context to the quotes in the Torah and the Prophets. Moreover, "Allah" referred to in all the Islamic statements is the same God of the Torah, with the exception that Muhammad is the main Prophet. This leads to the ultimate "Cult of the Personality". However, there is one crucial difference. Although the Torah and the Prophets sometimes advocated killing unbelievers, this was primarily a defensive move to prevent the Israelites from being converted from believing in one God into following other gods ...."which you have not known"....Islam, on the other hand, used (and uses) a proactive stance (also implemented by the Medieval Christians) in which they make an offer no one can refuse: Convert, or die. This approach has been very successful! There are more than 1 billion Moslems and only 12 million Jews!

Diogenes Comment
Don’t you think that it’s a little presumptuous of you to assume that the god that Muhammad communicated with was the same as the God of the Torah. After all, there were many gods in the pagan pantheon that, more likely, could have transmitted the simplistic diatribe known as the Koran to Muhammad.
