SARKOZY: SIONISTE EXTRAORDINAIR? « Desertpeace

Sarkozy… Pouah!

Last week, Mr. Sarkozy was quoted as saying that he wouldn’t shake hands with anyone that didn’t recognize Israel as a Jewish state. The gravity of his statement is very real, since accepting Israel as an exclusively Jewish state amounts to condoning and embracing racism in its most fundamentalist forms. It is very much like insisting that France should belong exclusively to the Catholics and that the non-Catholic citizens of France would have to come to terms with their inferior status as lesser citizens who eventually would have to choose between embracing Catholicism or expulsion.

The BRAD BLOG : Filling in the Ovals on LA County’s Super Tuesday ‘Double Bubble’ Debacle

We believe we can now pull this issue up out of the weeds a bit, after more than 24 hours of trying to make sense of what the Los Angeles County Registrar’s office has been describing to the media as “real clear.”

What’s clear is that the only thing that’s clear is the fact that the county’s new acting Registrar of Voters, Dean Logan, has seriously blown his first outing since coming South from his disastrous 2004 Washington state gubernatorial election debacle.

Unless swift action is taken by Logan and CA Sec. of State Debra Bowen, it’s likely that hundreds of thousands of voters may have been disenfranchised in last Tuesday’s Democratic Primary Election…

As we reported in some detail Tuesday, there was, and still is, massive confusion about how Independent (also called Non-Partisan, also called Decline-to-State or DTS) voters were to cast their ballots to ensure they were counted in the LA County election.

Décidément, non les États-unis d’Amérique ne sont pas une démocratie… Pas plus que le Canada d’ailleurs…

Breach ‘let jihadis flood into Gaza’ | The Australian

THE Palestinian Authority claims the two-week breach of the border between southern Gaza and Egypt last month allowed up to 2000 global jihadi militants to infiltrate the restive strip to take up the fight against Israel.

The men have begun tours of Hamas training camps throughout Gaza and have vowed to step up attacks on the Israeli side of the security barrier, say key figures among forces loyal to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who lost control of Gaza during infighting last June.

En clair : Mahmoud Habas travaille avec Israel pour donner une escuse au massacre final de Gaza. Bientôt sur vos écrans, la solution finale en direct, l’élimination complète des “globals jihadistes”

CRIMES AND CORRUPTION OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER NEWS: U.S. heading to war in Iran, says former inspector

CRIMES AND CORRUPTION OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER NEWS: U.S. heading to war in Iran, says former inspector

BOOOOM!!

And while both talked about wrong-headed U.S. policy in Iraq and Iran, they also criticized Israel for its role.

Scott Ritter, UN weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998, and Edward Peck, onetime chief of mission in Baghdad and former ambassador to Mauritania, spoke recently at a forum sponsored by Cleveland Peace Action Now and Trinity Cathedral. Before the event, this reporter and a journalist from The Plain Dealer talked to Ritter and Peck.

The White House is using outright fabrications and exaggerations to persuade the American public that Iran has an active nuclear weapons program, Ritter and Peck claimed. The ultimate goal, they said, is overthrow of Iran’s Islamic theocracy.

Just as he did with Iraq, President Bush is falsely positioning Iran as a threat to U.S. national security and a leading sponsor of terrorism, contended Ritter, a 12-year Marine veteran who spent four years in Israel as lead liaison between the UN and the Jewish state on the issues of Iraq and nuclear weapons.
