I like the attempt to reflect equivalence, but they don't treat the UK like Jews

Leaks on mass civilian casualties in Afghanistan could form basis for Goldstone style prosecutions against American, Britain and other coalition countries.

Netanyahu and Abdullah Conduct Secret Meeting - Defense/Middle East - Israel News - Israel National News

King Abdullah of Jordan

via israelnationalnews.com

how much do you want to bet that this meeting happening has something to do with a back room negotiation involving Obama's people? Obviously Obama wanted diplomatic relations with the PLO. Obama got what he wanted and the diplomatic meeting between Jordan and Israel was the hush money to keep Bibi quiet.

lol France Declares War on Al-Qaeda

France has declared war on al-Qaeda after members of the group killed a French aid worker it took hostage in April. Officials suggest France will activate accords with countries in which al-Qaeda members are known to be located in order to stop terrorists in their tracks.
French Defense Minister Herve Morin said: "We will support local authorities so these assassins and (their) commanders are tracked, judged and taken before justice and punished.”

Stop the Reauthorizing the Domestic Violence Law

 h/t @littlebytesnews

The federal law called the Violence Against Women Act will be coming up for its five-year reauthorization later this year, and I believe it is in need of major reform. Many people believe that reforming the Violence Against Women Act is today's basic civil rights issue because family courts have used it to deny American citizens, especially men, their basic constitutional rights.

It seems elementary that husbands and fathers who are accused of crimes by their wives or girlfriends should have the same constitutional rights accorded to any criminal, but they do not in family courts. Men are routinely denied equal treatment under law, the right to a fair trial, the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, the right to confront their accusers, and the right to have a court-appointed lawyer when they can't afford to hire an attorney. It's time to restore basic constitutional rights to husbands and fathers and repudiate the feminist agenda that treats men as guilty unless proven innocent.
What is the definition of domestic violence? Feminists have gotten family courts to operate on a loosey-goosey definition of family violence. It doesn't have to include any violence. It can simply be what a man says or how he looks at a woman. It can even be what a woman thinks a man might do or say. Definitions of violence include calling your partner a naughty word, raising your voice, causing "annoyance" or "emotional distress," claiming to be "fearful," or just not doing what your partner wants. The law should define domestic violence to mean violence.

something did happen while I was gone for a month with a broken laptop

There are a lot of people out there who believe that President Obama's seemingly warm embrace of Prime Minister Netanyahu three weeks ago, means that President Obama now recognizes (finally) that the most pressing issue in our region - indeed in the world - is the potential of a nuclear-armed Iran.

Caroline Glick argues that President Obama's upgrade of the PLO's diplomatic status in Washington last week proves that in fact nothing has changed, and Obama is as non-pragmatic - and as hostile to Israel - as ever.

While this step does not constitute US recognition of a Palestinian state in the absence of a peace treaty between the Palestinians and Israel, it certainly sends a clear signal that this is the direction the US is heading. As such, it represents a dangerous step that will encourage continued Arab hostility.
TO PUT this move in perspective, it is worth comparing the PLO's new status to that of the US's firm ally and fellow democracy - Taiwan, the Republic of China. Whereas the PLO now has a "delegation general" in Washington, Taiwan has the "Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office."

but I thought only the so called Liberal was a hater

Britain's new prime minister has proven himself no better than the last. He's given a speech in Ankara, Turkey (via Commentary's Contentions), where he said:

I know that Gaza has led to real strains in Turkey ’s relationship with Israel. But Turkey is a friend of Israel. And I urge Turkey, and Israel, not to give up on that friendship. Let me be clear. The Israeli attack on the Gaza flotilla was completely unacceptable. And I have told PM Netanyahu, we will expect the Israeli inquiry to be swift, transparent and rigorous. Let me also be clear that the situation in Gaza has to change. Humanitarian goods and people must flow in both directions. Gaza cannot and must not be allowed to remain a prison camp. But as, hopefully, we move in the coming weeks to direct talks between Israel and the Palestinians so it’s Turkey that can make the case for peace and Turkey that can help to press the parties to come together, and point the way to a just and viable solution.

So he too has joined the anti-Israel rhetoric, and probably spouts the worst of all. Peter Wehner makes clear that the blockade was justified, yet Cameron fails to take notice of any of the facts.
By the way, what was Cameron doing in Turkey? Backing their bid for EU membership, what else? The man is a downright dhimmi.
