A serious Googe Ads fail - Warning graphic content

I think that the young Jordanian pilot, Moaz al-Kasasbeh, deserves better than to attract advertising for walk in showers. Sick, sick, sick.

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter

'Effective antiterrorist action has also been thwarted by the claim that—as the quip goes—"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter."

That's a catchy phrase, but also misleading.

Freedom fighters do not need to terrorize a population into submission.

Freedom fighters target the military forces and the organized instruments of repression keeping dictatorial regimes in power.

Freedom fighters struggle to liberate their citizens from oppression and to establish a form of government that reflects the will of the people.

Now, this is not to say that those who are fighting for freedom are perfect or that we should ignore problems arising from passion and conflict.

Nevertheless, one has to be blind, ignorant, or simply unwilling to see the truth if he or she is unable to distinguish between those I just described and terrorists.

Terrorists intentionally kill or maim unarmed civilians, often women and children, often third parties who are not in any way part of a dictatorial regime.

Terrorists are always the enemies of democracy.'

Wise words from Ronald Reagan's Radio Address to the Nation on Terrorism from 31 May 1986.

The BBC and other media outlets should pay heed. 

The latest Islamist terrorist atrocity

The ISIS terrorists killed the young Jordanian pilot, Moaz al-Kasasbeh, by leading him out into a square before placing him in a cage. A rope lying partially outside the cage was then lit  and their young prisoner was engulfed in flames. 

ISIS burned him alive. 

After this gruesome murder they emptied a load of rocks into the cage to crush what remained of the body of  Moaz al-Kasasbeh.

Yet I have seen evil minded bastards trying to excuse this latest ISIS action.

I wonder if the BBC will still manage to categorise this latest ISIS atrocity action as that of militants or will they finally use the correct word, terrorists.

Halal slaughter: Outcry after undercover film exposes brutality of industry per The Independent

Even The Independent manages to report this, somehow I doubt that the BBC will dare report something so anti their narrative that Islam is just wonderful.

UK study finds that 92.4 per cent of university professors are white per Left Foot Forward

Left Foot Forward are shocked to report that:

' 92.4 per cent of university professors are white.'

Oddly they don't also report that according to the last census, that I saw, the UK population was around 90% white. 

The left love making accusations of racism even when facts would show otherwise.

KFC Bans Hand Wipes Because They Offend Muslims per FrontPage Magazine

Front Page has an interesting spot

'A customer was refused a wet wipe in a halal-only branch of KFC because they are soaked in alcohol and might offend Muslim diners.
 

Graham Noakes, 41, said he was astonished when staff at the fast food chain's outlet in St George's retail park refused to give him a hand-wipe because it was against its Halal policy.'

The Islamisation of Europe continues.

Spain: Muslim War on Meter Maids

From a few years ago comes some odd news from the Spanish island of Mallorca.

'Muslim immigrants in Palma de Mallorca, the capital of the Balearic Islands in Spain, have succeeded in forcing the expulsion of all female parking meter enforcement officers from a city neighborhood that is home to a growing Muslim population.'

And of course the local government just gave in to the demands of Islam.

More here and all over Europe.

Anti-Semitism is in the very marrow of conspiracy theory

Scott Wood nails it in this article...

'... if you are a presenter or blogger who disseminates and concocts conspiracy theories I would like you to know that you are deluded and inhumane. The victims of the 2015 attacks in Paris are the latest in a long line of corpses you have opportunistically used as a platform for your own irrational and hateful thought and pronouncement. You are not "aware" or "awake" but blinkered and bigoted. You are not a truth-seeker, hero or liberator.'

The truth!

Another example from the apartheid state of Israel where this Muslim IDF Soldier Keeps Watch Over Israel's Gaza Border

But still the anti-Israel brigade will ignore the evidence and state that Israel is an apartheid state.

First Tim Wilcox, now Adam Boulton

Following on from Tim Wilcox's offensive statement whilst interviewing a Parisian Jew following the Islamist terrorist attacks in Paris, yesterday we had a similar line of questioning from Sky's Adam Boulton.



Because it seems that in medialand hatred of Jews can always be blamed on the actions, perceived or otherwise, of Israel.

Would Adam Boulton ask a British iman if fear or hatred of Muslims was excusable because of the actions of ISIS or Al Quaeda? How about the policies of Saudi Arabia, Iran etc etc etc...?

The BBC's obsessive vilification of Israel disgusts me, is Sky going down the same road?

"We don't dislike Jews, we only dislike the State of Israel" - Bullshit - Stop pretending this is about Israel, it's about hatred of Jews

I haven't posted a No Shit Sherlock post for a while, I may be becoming a little forgetful. However this Telegraph report this Telegraph report entitled 'Ballot-rigging risk' in Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities' was chockfull of No Shit Sherlock lines. 

Here's just one:

'The report found some voters felt that postal voting was ''intrinsically unsafe'' and there were also concerns about the ease with which electoral ''personation'' could take place due an ''informal approach'' to proxy voting.'

Broad sorry for minimum wage tweet per BBC Sport

The BBC report that England cricketer Stuart Broad is sorry for tweeting that:

"I've heard if you earn minimum wage in England you're in the top 10% earners in the world. #stay #humble."

Oddly the BBC don't say whether what Stuart Broad tweeted was true or not. 

That's the trouble with the BBC, they really aren't interested in facts, preferring the censorship of views that they and the other politically correct zealots deem to be 'offensive'.

Joan Peters And The Perils Of Challenging The Palestinian Narrative

This articleshould be required reading for journalists at the institutionally anti Israel BBC.

Here's an extract:

'The recent death of Joan Peters recalls one of the most intense and bitter literary controversies in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Her 1984 book From Time Immemorial set off a memorable scuffle between both Israeli and Arab writers. But like many such controversies the ultimate impact of the discussion did more to obscure the truth about the origins of the conflict over Palestine than to shed light on it.

The moral of the story is that while Peters's book was flawed, it might have prompted an important debate about one of the key assumptions of Israel's critics. Instead, the angry pushback her volume received from liberals and Arab apologists served only to demonstrate that anyone who seeks to challenge the Palestinian narrative of dispossession by the Jews does so at their own peril.

Peters's intention was to write a book sympathetic to the Palestinian refugees. But in the course of her research, she stumbled across an important fact that had hitherto received no notice from Westerners who opined about the Arab-Israeli conflict: though the Arabs claim to have possessed Palestine for many centuries, a significant percentage of their population in 1948 could trace their origins to immigrants who crossed into what is now Israel during the last years of Ottoman rule and during the era of the British Mandate for Palestine.

The idea that Arabs rather than just Jews arrived in the country during the period when Jews were working to build it up contradicts the basic conceit of all attacks on Zionism. Instead of the 

Palestinians losing a country that had been theirs "from time immemorial," this revelation placed both sides in the conflict on a somewhat equal footing.

If a great many of those Arab refugees who fled the country during Israel's War of Independence were, at best, second-generation immigrants to Palestine then surely it would not have been so difficult to reintegrate them into other Arab countries just as Jewish refugees from Arab countries were resettled in Israel.

But to admit that not all Palestinian refugees had roots going back for many centuries to what had become Israel undermined the basic critique of Zionism. To those who wish to cast the struggle over the land as one of Palestinian victims and Jewish aggressors, the narrative of dispossession has taken on the aspect of a catechism that may not be questioned. Thus, by calling into question one of the basic Palestinian myths, Peters had committed an unpardonable sin for which she had to be punished.'

Powerful stuff and indicative of how the pro Palestinian narrative holds such sway amongst 'liberals'. I just cannot imagine the BBC ever repeating such information.

Words fail me, this was a British Doctor tweeting this morning

How can a British doctor hold and express such views and be allowed to carry on practicing in the UK? Would any Jew feel safe going to see a doctor who freely expressed such views?

I, and others, have reported Dr Alishba Khan to the General Medical Council. In a sane world they would take serious and appropriate action but in 2015 Britain, I fear that they won't.

The standard BBC wording at the end of their coverage of this morning's bus attack in Tel Aviv really pisses me off

The BBC's obsessive hatred of Israel leaks out all over the place, rather like the blood from a stabbed Jew. 

This BBC report on the latest attack on innocent Israeli civilians is not too bad but it ends with the BBC's handy facts that you might read and so excuse the Palestinian perpetrator's actions.

The one line that pisses me off the most is this one:

'The Palestinians in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem have lived under Israeli occupation since 1967.'

Leaving aside the question of what is occupation and indeed the decisions at the Oslo Accords definitions, the most pissy angle here is that it might lead the less informed reader to think that Israel 'occupied' Palestinian ruled land in 1967. 

This misdirection is of course deliberate by the BBC. 

Jerusalem has only been split between Western and Eastern for 19 years in its long existence, those 19 years being from 1948 to 1967 when it was occupied by Jordan. 

The West Bank was not part of a Palestinian state prior to 1967, it was land that Jordan occupied.

The founding documents of Fatah PLO from pre 1967 quite deliberately make it clear that the 'Palestinians' make no claim on the West Bank, more correctly Judea and Samaria.  

The Palestinian cause is founded on lies, they don't really want a new separate state, they just want no Israel or Jews. The institutionally anti-Israel BBC is happy to assist them in any way that they can.

ISIS execute 13 football fans for watching Iraq play Jordan on TV

The Mail reports that:

'ISIS militants have executed 13 teenage boys for watching the Asian Cup football match between Iraq and Jordan last week.

The young football fans had been caught watching the game on television in the Iraqi city of Mosul, which is controlled by the Islamic State.

The teenagers were rounded up and publicly executed by a firing squad using machine guns, anti-ISIS activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently reports.'

The BBC are less interested.

Banning Page 3 today, dancing kids tomorrow?

'Saudi Arabia's top Islamic cleric has called on parents not to let their little daughters dance in front of men as the Gulf Kingdom's religious police threatened to punish those responsible for allowing little girls to dance during a local festival.

A film showing a group of little Saudi girls dancing on stage in front of men during the annual 'Spring festival' in the central town of Buraidah on Friday triggered criticism by many scholars and viewers after it went viral on social networks and local newspapers.

"Don't teach your little daughters dancing and allow them to dance in front of men. This spoils their life, childhood and dignity," the Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Al Shaikh said on the Saudi 'Al Majd' TV channel.'

The Times of India reports that:

'Pakistan tops the list of most porn-searching countries and leads the way in porn searches for animals like pigs, donkeys, dogs, cats and snakes, according to the data released by Google.

The data also showed that six of the top eight porn-searching countries were Muslim states with Egypt ranking second in the list followed by Iran, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Turkey at numbers four, five, seven and eight, respectively, reported The Express Tribune.'

Abbas says he would turn down free land if it wasn't claimed by Israel

'... we in Palestine also would 'never establish a Palestinian state on one centimeter of the territory of another Arab country.'

The Palestinian claim is not for land but for land they can take away from Israel. Piece by piece until Israel is too small to be viable or to protect itself.

Two Eds hid truth about global crash: Miliband and Balls knew UK economy was due to 'fall off a cliff' a year before it happened... but kept it a secret per Daily Mail Online

The Mail reports that:

'Two Eds hid truth about global crash: Miliband and Balls knew UK economy was due to 'fall off a cliff' a year before it happened... but kept it a secret 

The pair reportedly urged Gordon Brown to call a snap election in 2008Knew it was only way Labour could hold power once economy crumbled George Osborne said revelation 'exposed cynicism' of Balls and Miliband

Labour leader has not denied claim, dismissing it as 'ancient history'  

The claim appears in explosive new memoir of Martin Winter - who helped turn Miliband into an MP

Ed Miliband and Ed Balls knew about the economic crash of 2008 a year before it happened – but kept it secret, it was sensationally revealed last night.

The Labour leader did not deny an explosive new report that they both urged Prime Minister Gordon Brown to call a snap Election in 2007 because 'the economy was about to fall off a cliff' and it was Labour's only hope of holding on to power.

Chancellor George Osborne said the revelation 'exposed the cynicism' of Balls and Miliband, adding: 'They were more interested in saving their own skins than saving the British economy.'

The disclosure comes in a new book by Miliband's former ally and friend Martin Winter, the ex-Labour Mayor of Doncaster, where Miliband is an MP. Winter, who secured the seat for Miliband at Brown's personal request, says he has decided to speak out because he has lost faith in the Labour leader.

...

Last night Miliband made no attempt to deny the claim, dismissing it as 'ancient history' – but the revelation is potentially political dynamite as the Election campaign hots up, fuelling the Tory line that Labour cannot be trusted with the economy, or to tell the truth... '

One thing is certain, the BBC will not mention this book and its revelations as that might harm the electoral chances of their allies in the Labour Party. 

By way of contrast, any similar revelations from the Margaret Thatcher or John Major governments would be pored over for ways of harming the Conservative Party.

Paris attack highlights Europe's struggle with Islamism per BBC News but the biggest worry is, Islamophobia

This BBC report ends as any good BBC politically correct article would.

'But the potential backlash, including support for far right parties and groups, may well hurt ordinary Muslims more than anyone else, leaving the authorities and religious leaders in western Europe wondering how to confront violence in the name of religion without victimizing minorities or being accused of 'Islamophobia'.'

Yes for the BBC ordinary Muslims are hurt more by a' potential' backlash than cartoonists and Jews are by being murdered. 

The BBC really are sick.

Is this how BBC, Guardian and others really think?

"Don't take refuge in the false security of consensus."

The much missed Christopher Hitchens on free speech. I don't agree with everything that he says but he always said it so well.

The trouble is that some people have trouble telling the difference between ignoring the speech they don't like and preventing other people from hearing it. Then they then try to use free speech as a defense for their own Orwellian ideas of suppressing other people.

"Don't take refuge in the false security of consensus." That applies as much to 'Islam is the religion of peace' as much as 'Climate change is a settled science'.
