President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has raised the stakes against Israel by describing the Holocaust as a lie, just as world powers are trying to decide how to deal with the nuclear ambitions of an Iran in political turmoil.

“The pretext (Holocaust) for the creation of the Zionist regime (Israel) is false … It is a lie based on an unprovable and mythical claim,” he told worshippers at Tehran University at the end of an annual anti-Israel “Qods (Jerusalem) Day” rally.

“Confronting the Zionist regime is a national and religious duty.”

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that confronting Israel is a national and religious duty. A holy war.

From The New York Times:

In a speech to a pro-Palestinian rally, which also fell on the eve of the Jewish New Year, Mr. Ahmadinejad called confrontation with “the Zionist regime” a “national and religious duty,” news reports said.

Several reports quoted him as saying the Holocaust was false pretext for the establishment of Israel in 1948. “It is a lie” based on an unprovable and “mythical claim,” he was quoted as saying in the speech.

Mr. Ahmadinejad said the Israeli “regime has no future. Its life has come to an end,” Reuters reported.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Israel’s life has come to an end. An ultimatum.

From Breitbart:

Experts at the world’s top atomic watchdog are in agreement that Tehran has the ability to make a nuclear bomb and is on the way to developing a missile system able to carry an atomic warhead, according to a secret report seen by The Associated Press.

The document drafted by senior officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency is the clearest indication yet that the agency’s leaders share Washington’s views on Iran’s weapon-making capabilities.

The document says Iran has “sufficient information” to build a bomb. It says Iran is likely to “overcome problems” on developing a delivery system.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can build a nuke whenever he wants. All he needs now it to perfect his missile to deliver the nuke. Anyone want to guess where the first missile would be aimed?

The Free Gaza movement is sending another solidarity ship to the Strip, due this time to the major Israeli attacks. The four previous voyages have set sail in solidarity to the million and a half residents under siege.

On board the ship expected to set sail on Monday are four physicians. Among them is Dr. Elena Theoharous, a surgeon and member of Cypriot parliament. Former United States Congresswoman and Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney will also be making the voyage. And local hero, Al Jazeera correspondent formerly imprisoned in Guantanamo, Sami Al Hajj, is also expected.

Then:

A group of international activists said it would defy an Israeli blockade and send a boat with medical supplies to Gaza from Cyprus.

Free Gaza Group spokeswoman Caoimhe Butterly said their 20-meter yacht Dignity would leave Larnaca port around 5 p.m. (1400GMT) Monday with 3.5 tons of donated supplies.

She said the yacht would carry 16 passengers, including former US Congresswoman Cynthia Mckinney, Cypriot lawmaker and doctor Eleni Theocharous and activists from Britain, Australia, Ireland and Tunisia.

And then:

A boat that was carrying international peace activists and medical supplies to Gaza sailed into a Lebanese port on Tuesday after being turned back by the Israeli navy, organizers of the trip said.

The boat, which set off from Cyprus Monday wanted to make a statement and deliver medical supplies to Gaza. The trip’s organizers said the boat was clearly in international waters, 90 miles off the coast of Gaza, at the time of its close encounter with the Israeli navy.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said the boat ignored an Israeli radio order to turn back early Tuesday.

Palmor says the boat tried to outmaneuver an Israeli navy ship and crashed into it, which lightly damaged both vessels. The navy then escorted the boat out into the territorial waters of Cyprus.

The 66-foot yacht Dignity, flying the flag of Gibraltar, left Larnaca Monday with almost 4 tons of Cypriot-donated supplies and 16 passengers, including former US Representative Cynthia McKinney, Cypriot lawmaker Eleni Theocharous and activists from Britain, Australia, Ireland and Tunisia, organizers said.

Hamas ended the cease-fire and rained rockets down on Israel, accompanied by mortars and the occasional attempt at a cross-border ground attack.

Israel did nothing. The rest of the planet yawned.

Hamas tells Israel that it is weak, confused, and helpless. And so more people are recruited, West Bank Palestinians look on with admiration at those fighting the enemy, and the Arabic-speaking world is impressed.

Israel did nothing. The rest of the planet yawned.

But then Israel does fight back. Its planes bomb military targets which have been deliberately put amid civilians. If there is a high danger of hitting civilians, Israel doesn’t attack. But there is a line below which risk that will be taken, and rightly so.

And now the planet begins to take notice? Casualty figures are announced by Hamas, and accepted by reporters who are not on the spot. Everyone hit is, of course, a civilian. Hamas has no soldiers, right?

Arab-sympathetic, or Israel-hating, photographers take pictures of children who pretend to be injured, and once they are published in Western newspapers these claims become fact.

Hamas is the aggressor. Hamas intentionally targets civilians. Hamas purposely hides its weapons within civilian residential areas. Yet Cynthia McKinney is willing to enter this volatile area to offer aid to Hamas, not Israel?

McKinney has long hated all things Israel while admiring all things Arab. I can only hope that she accidentally walks in front of an IDF tank while it’s screaming across Gaza.

McKinney is one person for which I will shed no tear when she no longer breathes.

New commercial satellite photos show that a Syrian site that Israel bombed last month no longer bears any obvious traces of what analysts said appeared to have been a partly built nuclear reactor.

Two photos, taken Wednesday from space by rival companies, show the site near the Euphrates River to have been wiped clean since August, when imagery showed a tall square building there measuring about 150 feet on a side.

The Syrians reported an attack by Israel in early September, which the Israelis have not confirmed. Senior Syrian officials continue to deny that a nuclear reactor was under construction, insisting that what Israel hit was a largely empty military warehouse.

But the images, federal and private analysts said Thursday, suggest that the Syrian authorities rushed to dismantle the facility after the strike, saying its removal could be interpreted as a tacit admission of guilt.

“It’s a magic act — here today, gone tomorrow,” said a senior intelligence official. “It doesn’t lower suspicions; it raises them. This was not the long-term decommissioning of a building, which can take a year. It was speedy. It’s incredible that they could have gone to that effort to make something go away.”

Satellite images of the Syrian site were released by DigitalGlobe, in Longmont, Colo., and SPOT Image Corporation, in Chantilly, Va. They show a smooth, unfurrowed area where the large building once stood.

“It’s clearly very suspicious,” said Joseph Cirincione, an expert on nuclear proliferation at the Center for American Progress in Washington. “The Syrians were up to something that they clearly didn’t want the world to know about.”

The Sept. 6 attack by Israeli warplanes inside Syria struck what Israeli intelligence believes was a nuclear-related facility that North Korea was helping to equip, according to current and former American and Israeli officials.

The Sept. 6 strike was carried out several days after a ship with North Korean cargo tracked by Israeli intelligence docked in a Syrian port, according to the current and former officials. The cargo was transferred to the site that Israel later attacked, the officials said. It is unclear exactly what the shipment contained. A former top American official said the Israelis had monitored the site for some time before the ship arrived. The ship’s arrival in Syria before the raid was first reported.

It has long been known that North Korean scientists have aided Damascus in developing sophisticated ballistic missile technology, and there appears to be little debate that North Koreans frequently visited a site in the Syrian desert that Israeli jets attacked.

And now, within weeks of the attack, the entire area has been completely cleaned and evacuated … not what you would expect the Syrians to do if Israel mistakenly blew apart an aspirin factory. Where is all the debris?

No, Israel hit something big and important, important enough that the Syrians have cleaned away all traces of it before anyone from the UN can investigate.

Kudos to the Israelis for having the balls to do what has to be done without begging for other countries’ permission first. I once read about an America that behaved that way.

During the week of October 22-26, 2007, the nation will be rocked by the biggest conservative campus protest ever – Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, a wake-up call for Americans on 200 university and college campuses.

The purpose of this protest is as simple as it is crucial: to confront the two Big Lies of the political left: that George Bush created the war on terror and that Global Warming is a greater danger to Americans than the terrorist threat. Nothing could be more politically incorrect than to point this out. But nothing could be more important for American students to hear.

In the face of the greatest danger Americans have ever confronted, the academic left has mobilized to create sympathy for the enemy and to fight anyone who rallies Americans to defend themselves. According to the academic left, anyone who links Islamic radicalism to the war on terror is an “Islamophobe.” According to the academic left, the Islamo-fascists hate us not because we are tolerant and free, but because we are “oppressors.”

Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is a national effort to oppose these lies and to rally American students to defend their country.

The LONG TERM goal of jihad is world domination – a global Islamic state under Islamic law. Jihad is not, as some Western apologists claim, simply a striving for individual perfection. Rather, jihad is an expansionist totalitarian ideology that seeks to establish a global Islamic state ruled by Islamic law, or sharia. Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden’s chief henchman said in the summer of 2006: “Jihad seeks the liberation of Palestine, the entire country of Palestine and to liberate every land that used to be a territory of Islam, from Spain to Iraq.”

The jihad’s IMMEDIATE Objective is “Death to America.” “America,” declared Al-Qaeda spokesman Suleiman Abu Gheith, “is the head of heresy in our modern world, and [as a result] . . . we have the right to kill 4 million Americans — 2 million of them children — and to exile twice as many and wound and cripple hundreds of thousands. Furthermore, it is our right to fight them with chemical and biological weapons.” The Saudi Sheikh Nasser ibn Hamed gives an even higher figure for appropriate American deaths: “If a bomb was dropped on them [i.e. the Americans] that would annihilate 10 million and burn their lands to the same extent that they burned the Muslim lands – this is permissible….”

The ideology of the Islamists whose ranks today include not only al-Qaeda but also Hamas and Hezbollah – originated with Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood (al-Ikhwan al-Muslimoon) founded in 1928 by Sheikh Hassan al-Banna. And the Muslim Brotherhood finds not just its roots, but much of its symbolism, terminology, and political priorities deep within the heart of Nazi fascism.

The long legacy of Arab and Palestinian Nazism, and the Hitlerite themes of lebensraum, ethnic cleansing and genocide, continue to echo in the Middle East today. Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah, said of the Jews after the Lebanon war of 2006: “If they gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them nationwide.” Mahmoud Zahar, Hamas Foreign Minister, says: “I dream of hanging a huge map of the world on the wall at my Gaza home which does not show Israel on it.” And most chillingly, Ali Akabar Hashemi Rafsanjani, former President of Iran, looks ahead to the next holocaust and final solution: “The use of a nuclear bomb in Israel will leave nothing on the ground, whereas it will only damage the world of Islam.”

Iran‘s president said on Sunday the Lebanese and the Palestinians had pressed a “countdown button” to bring an end to Israel. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who triggered outrage in the West two years ago when he said Israel should be “wiped off the map“, has often referred to the destruction of the Jewish state but says Iran is not a threat. “With God’s help, the countdown button for the destruction of the Zionist regime has been pushed by the hands of the children of Lebanon and Palestine,” Ahmadinejad said in a speech. “By God’s will, we will witness the destruction of this regime in the near future,” he said. He did not elaborate.

Dhimmitude is a chastened subservience to Islam by non-Muslims. This denial of basic rights and dignity remains part of the Sharia, and, as such, is part of the law that global jihadists are laboring to impose everywhere, ultimately on the entire human race.

Before 9/11 it was easy to ignore and whitewash dhimmitude, but the atrocities changed the situation forever. In jihads throughout history, untold millions have died. Tens of millions have been uprooted from their homes. Tens of millions have been stripped of their cultural identity. To continue to gloss over the destruction wrought by jihad ideology and its attendant evil of dhimmitude is today to play into the hands of jihadists, who have repeatedly vowed to dhimmify the West and destroy any recalcitrant elements. While jihadist groups, even with their global diffusion, are not strong enough to realize this goal by themselves, they have a potent and destructive ally, a genuine fifth column, in the dhimmi academics and dhimmi journalists they have recruited in the West. They have succeeded in confusing millions in the West into mistaking honesty and truthfulness for bigotry, and self-defense for oppression.

And as such, even with the repeated announcements by tyrants like Ahmadinejad calling for the destruction of the Jewish state, the world barely notices.

The seeds of the Holocaust began with the evolution of Adolf Hitler’s maniacal dreams based on his interpretation of Germanic history, the quest for the “Aryan ideal”, and a lust for power.

The seeds of a new Holocaust are beginning with the evolution of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s maniacal dreams based on his interpretation of Arab history, the quest “one world Islam”, and a lust for power.

And today’s media is playing the part of Neville Chamberlain.

“This is an open war launched against Hamas. All options are open, including martyrdom operations,” Abu Ubaida, a spokesman for the organisation’s armed wing, said.

What has evil Israel done to provoke such a defensive response from Hamas?

Israeli planes launched air strikes against the militant Palestinian group in Gaza.

The three aerial attacks destroyed a Hamas compound, hit a car carrying two senior commanders and a trailer used by the Islamist group, killing three people and wounding scores of others.

Israel confirmed all three air strikes.

See, just as the UN, most of Europe, most of the world media and news organizations, and practically every Arab in the world have been telling us for years, Hamas is only acting in self-defense.

Except that the UN, most of Europe, most of the world media and news organizations, and practically every Arab in the world always seem to leave out a small detail of what’s really been going on over there. You see, the reason Israel launched air strikes against the militant Palestinian group in Gaza was:

A high school in the Negev was directly hit by a Qassam rocket Thursday. Two people were lightly wounded in the attack, and several others suffered from shock.

Earlier Thursday, three Qassam rockets landed in Sderot. Another two rockets landed in open fields in the western Negev.

And those don’t even count the more than 50 rockets that have fallen on the Israeli town of Sderot in the last three days. All of the rockets came from Palestinian-controlled in Gaza, and all were fired by Palestinian terrorists.

“We have had enough. Israel will take all defensive measures to protect our citizens from these Hamas rockets,” Miri Eisin, a spokeswoman for the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, said before the air strike.

An official statement released Wednesday following a security meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office said that “Israel will operate against Hamas’ Qassam launchers, their commanders and the terror perpetrators.”

Sderot is a city in the Southern District of Israel. Sderot lies a kilometer from the Gaza Strip. Since the beginning of the al-Aqsa Intifada in October 2000, the city has been frequently attacked by Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants using homemade rockets known as “Qassam rockets”. Although they are very inaccurate, these attacks have resulted in a number of deaths and injuries as well as causing psychological distress among the residents. Hundreds of Qassam rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip since Israel removed all permanent Israeli presence in the Gaza Strip and from four settlements in the northern West Bank in September 2005.

That’s right: As an overture to peace Israel volunteered to remove all permanent Israeli presence in the Gaza Strip and from four settlements in the northern West Bank back in 2005. Hamas is showing their overture to peace by filling Gaza with crude rockets and bombarding Israeli civilian areas … including schools. And yet Hamas has the gall to call the Israeli defensive response to this bombardment “an open war launched against Hamas”?

And to make this painfully clear to those of you that were educated in America’s government schools, Israel’s defensive response was aimed as the rockets, the rocket launchers, and militant leaders. Hamas’ offensive response was aimed at innocent civilian areas. There is stark contrast in this conflict, and if you cannot see it for yourself then either you aren’t very bright or you’re just as anti-Israel as the Palestinians.

• On July 7, 2006, two Qassam rockets fired from Gaza hit the city. One of the Qassams fell in the city’s central market, wounding seven civilians. Three people were hit by shrapnel from the rocket, while four were in shock. The second rocket landed in an empty soccer field. Three of the wounded were evacuated to Barzilai Hospital.
• On November 15, 2006, Islamic Jihad and militants associated with Hamas fired fifteen Qassam rockets from Gaza into the Western Negev, eleven of which landed in Sderot, killing a 57-year old woman, Faina Sloutsker, and seriously wounding several people, among whom were a high school student.
• Recent research has found that one out of every three Sderot children suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Qassam rockets are fired into Israel from Gaza by Palestinian militants on almost a daily basis. If 89 rockets fell on your town in one month alone, and if around 300 rockets fell in your town since 2005, and if most of these rockets hit civilian population centers like schools, what would you expect your government to do? What would you expect your media to say?

Even after all this action by Hamas and the Palestinians the world media still claim a ceasefire is working.

Reuters says “Hamas’s armed wing broke a five-month ceasefire on Tuesday by firing rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip after Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians over the weekend.”

Broke a five-month ceasefire? What about the earlier Islamic Jihad terrorist captured near Tel Aviv after his bomb belt fails to detonate? That doesn’t count?

The barrages of Kassam rockets and mortar shells Hamas fired at Israel on Tuesday morning were meant to provide cover for and distract attention from an attempted infiltration by a terror cell, whose members intended to kidnap IDF soldiers deployed along the Gaza border, IDF sources reported Tuesday afternoon.

Over at the AP they say “Hamas militants called Sunday for a fresh wave of attacks against Israel after troops killed nine Palestinians in weekend fighting, straining a five-month-old cease-fire.”

What about the Egyptian arrest of a would-be Hamas suicide bomber near the Israeli border? The relentless pro-Palestinian bias of the AP is very obvious in this one. Notice that the first sentence blames the “strained cease-fire” on Israel. It’s doubly deceptive because (1) it doesn’t mention the previous rocket attacks by Hamas, and (2) there is no “cease-fire” because the rockets have never stopped coming from Gaza during any time of the ceasefire.

The BBC continues the lie with “The armed wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement has said it is ending its five-month truce with Israel. Earlier in the day the group launched a sustained barrage of rockets and mortars into Israel, the first such attack since November. ”

Ended its five-month truce with Israel? What about the Palestinian rockets that hit a Sderot home? What about the Israeli civilian that was wounded in a West Bank drive-by shooting? Do those signify an adherence to any ceasefire?

Over the past few years the media has consistently downplayed or ignored Palestinian violence, once giving militant Islam a free pass, while apportioning blame on Israeli retaliatory or preventative actions as the cause of “escalating violence” or “breaking of ceasefires”. It appears, yet again, necessary to showcase this inaccurate and misleading representation of the conflict.

At what point do Palestinian terror and missile attacks constitute a breach of a “ceasefire”? Does Hamas have to kill 100 Israels before the ceasefire is considered broken? Or 1,000? If a single Palestinian is killed by Israeli forces the world media and the UN would certainly consider the ceasefire broken.

Remember this well: Neither Hamas nor the Palestinians want any sort of peace; they simply and singularly want the complete elimination of Israel and nothing less.

The appeasers around the globe keep insisting that Islam is not the aggressor, it’s just a few radials posing a threat to the civilized world, even though Islam itself has been blatantly telling us for centuries that Muslims have the right and the duty to enslave and murder us for no reason other than we exist. What other faith makes such a claim? And yet so many of us fall all over ourselves excusing and apologizing for any terrible action done by a Muslim.

In a country where many high school students cannot even correctly identify the century in which the American Civil War was waged, at least students in Andover High School in Massachusetts may become very familiar with the historical term “ethnic cleansing,” and how the world’s most egregious example of its continued practice is, of course, found in the “Jewish privileged state” of “apartheid Israel,” to quote Ron Francis, a physics teacher at the school.

At Andover High School in Massachusetts, Ron Francis, the physics teacher is stirring up controversy once again. In the past he has paid his students to work for his anti-Israel political organization, defended the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, and joked about becoming a suicide bomber.

Now he is stirring up more attention with his latest brainwashing attempt, and getting the ACLU involved to boot. He invited the group Wheels of Justice, a pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel group to speak at the high school. Now that the school refused due to no opposing ideals being presented, the ACLU threats have appeared.

By bullying their high school into playing host and giving academic legitimacy to influence-peddlers and propagandists. Francis put himself beyond the pale of academic honesty. A high school should stick to its curriculum and its teachers should teach what they were hired to teach, not improvise lectures to fit their personal philosophical predilections. Francis is a physics teacher! He is neither trained, nor was he hired and paid by the Town of Andover to preach or teach morality, ethics, Palestinianism, or Christianity at school.

It is one think to support Francis’s freedom to express his opinions and personal agendas, restrictive and reductionist as they might be. But it is another thing entirely should he dare continue to impose on the children his breathtaking ignorance of Middle East history as fact.

The Wheels of Justice preaches a one-sided message that all the woes of the Palestinians are singularly the result of Israel’s “colonization, occupation, displacement, apartheid and the denial of the right of Palestinian refugees.”

The Wheels Of Justice believe that “one must recognize that the Israeli military occupation continues a legacy that began in 1947 with the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians to make room for the State of Israel.”

First, there is no Israeli military occupation. The United Nations, by a 2/3 majority, created what is known as Israel. Israel has simply defended their ancestral home – their home for the last 5,000 years. Second, there has never been any ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Rather groups like Hamas have publicly stated that they have a single desire of driving every last Jew into the sea.

There is, of course, no mention in the group’s language of the intractability of Hamas and other Palestinians in not recognizing, even now, the right or reality of Israel’s existence; the Arabs’ aggression beginning with the founding of the Jewish state; the Hamas charter which calls for a jihad against Zionism and for killing Jews; the continued Palestinian assault on Israel with Qassam rockets and suicide bombers, and the anti-Semitic teaching throughout the Arab world.

Groups such as Wheels of Justice conveniently describe themselves as human rights activists, even though they seem singularly obsessed with the failings and moral lapses of Israel — and only Israel — among all countries in the world, in many of which civil strife, actual genocide, ethnic purging, enslavement, mass murder, and totalitarianism prevail.

And yet this is the group that a high school physics teacher thinks is the best choice to visit his students? It was Francis who originally contacted the Wheels of Justice to speak at his high school’s social studies conference. Despite the impropriety of a teacher turning a school-sponsored conference into a de facto political rally, Francis has never been publicly reprimanded by the school’s administration. Just one more shining example of why you should be honored to pay income taxes.

More important in the context of exposing high school students to current events is the fundamental question about what role teachers should have, if any, in promoting personal ideology, and in exposing students to one-sided, historically inaccurate, and debatable views of difficult political issues. Why this particular issue to shove down students’ throats among all the incendiary geopolitical situations on earth? Is an agenda-driven teacher a good teacher?

The Constitution protects the right of people to express their views, no matter how reprehensible, in what Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes termed the broad, public “marketplace of ideas,” but nowhere is it incumbent on any institution, and certainly not public schools, to be forced to sponsor, or provide a public platform for, the ravings of any outside individual, merely because that individual has a message he or she is eager to express. Yes, both you Liberals and Conservatives, you have a right to speak, but you have no right to be heard a distinction most cannot comprehend.

The high school administration, scared by an ACLU lawsuit, has now agreed to host the Wheels of Justice. According to a statement by the school principal, Peter Anderson, Wheels of Justice will come to Andover High for one in a series of three forums, each of which will allegedly offer varying perspective on Middle East conflicts. But something inside of me really doubts there will be true varying perspectives.

The good news, at least, is that at Andover High School, Mr. Francis teaches physics and not history. I wonder if either he or the ACLU would fight this hard to have a group from the Billy Graham Crusade organization speak to his students?
