National Israel Solidarity Rally

September 20, 2006

12:00 Noon, NYC Wednesday September 20, 2006 at 12 noon in Dag

Hammarskjold Plaza 885 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10017 East 47th Street

and 2nd Avenue across from the United Nations.

Item Immediately Below is excerpted from The New York Sun:

" If the Holocaust-denying, nuclear bomb-building, terrorism-

sponsoring president of Iran thinks he's going to flit into New York

next week for the U.N. General Assembly and escape unchallenged, boy

is he going to be in for a surprise. Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel

yesterday added his name to a small but high-powered international

group of private citizens who are pushing to have Iran thrown out of

the United Nations in response to Iran's violations of the 1948

Convention to Prevent and Punish the Crime of Genocide.

President Ahmadinejad will also be met with a large rally on

September 20 outside the U.N. at noon organized by the Conference of

Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the Jewish

Community Relations Council of New York , and the UJA-Federation of

New York . The rally, in support of Israel , calls for

implementation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls

for disarming Iran 's proxy army Hezbollah. It also calls for

supporting the war against state sponsors of terror, including

Iran . The executive vice chairman of the Conference, Malcolm

Hoenlein, told us yesterday that he's received requests from as far

away as Texas , Arkansas , Ottawa , and New Hampshire to participate

in the rally.

The legal effort in which Mr. Wiesel is involved, established at the

Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, includes a former Israeli

ambassador to the United Nations, Dore Gold, and a former Israeli

ambassador to America, Meir Rosenne. " It is hard to believe that at

a time when the president of Iran is making statements denying the

Holocaust and does not hide his intention to erase Israel from the

map, the enlightened world is planning to host Ahmadinejad at the

opening of the General Assembly instead of evicting his country from

the U.N. altogether, " the group said in a statement issued yesterday.

It might seem farfetched to invoke a genocide convention against

Iran when, thank goodness, no genocide has happened yet. But the

treaty — which Iran itself signed and ratified — is called the

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of

Genocide. In Rwanda , and Darfur , the United Nations and the world

waited until after the slaughter to act. In this case, there has

been a warning. The leader of Iran's proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah's

Hassan Nasrallah, has stated that if the Jews " all gather in Israel,

it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide, " and

said, " it is an open war until the elimination of Israel and until

the death of the last Jew on earth. "

The treaty states that " Direct and public incitement to commit

genocide " is punishable. We don't have much confidence in the

enforceability of international law, which seems to be used in

practice mainly as a hammer by neutralist groups like Human Rights

Watch to pound Israel and America . Yet the legal campaign, like the

rally to be held in New York , is significant in shaping public

awareness of Iran 's intentions — an awareness that is vital to

preventing the genocide that Iran openly boasts that it intends. "

Mass National Solidarity Rally As World Leaders Gather at U.N.

Tuesday September 12, 5:12 pm ET

Sept. 20th Event to Support Israel, the War On Terror, and the

Release of Israeli Soldiers

NEW YORK, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- A National Solidarity Rally will

be held on Wednesday September 20, 2006 at 12 noon in Dag

Hammarskjold Plaza across from the United Nations. Many thousands of

people from throughout the New York area, the eastern seaboard and

beyond, are expected to join the mass rally in solidarity with

Israel, in support of the war against global terror and its state

sponsors, and to demand the release of the three Israeli soldiers

being held hostage. Cosponsored by the Conference of Presidents of

Major American Jewish Organizations and the Jewish Community

Relations Council of New York, in conjunction with United Jewish

Communities, UJA-Federation of New York, and the Jewish Council for

Public Affairs as well as scores of national and local

organizations, the demonstration will coincide with the presence of

world leaders at the opening sessions of the U.N. General Assembly.

It is expected that Iranian President Amadinejad will be in

attendance.

Malcolm Hoenlein, Presidents Conference Executive Vice Chairman and

Michael Miller, JCRC Executive Vice President said the rally will

attract large numbers of participants with attendance expected to be

in the tens of thousands. People of all faiths will be gathering

together to show the people of Israel who have been through a

difficult time, that the American people stand with them. They will

call on the leaders to see to the implementation of U.N. Resolutions

1559 and 1701 that call for the disarming of Hezbollah and the

prevention of their rearmament and the prompt release of the

kidnapped Israeli soldiers.

Howard Rieger, UJC President, said that the response to the

mobilization that is underway has shown that people recognize that

this is a key time for us to send world leaders a critical and

powerful message. Numbers do count. Public officials, entertainers,

and religious and ethic leaders will be participating in the

program. Representatives of the families of the soldiers being held

hostage will also participate.

John S. Ruskay, Executive Vice President and CEO of the UJA-

Federation of New York said that " We are here to tell the world that

we will not be silent in the face of terror and attacks. As I look

to the future, I am sobered by the road that appears to be before

us. Yes, we will stand with the people Israel yet again. As we have.

As we must. But facing years, if not decades, of more hostility,

violence, death and hatred is a painful scenario - for Israel, for

the Middle East, for the Jewish people, for America, and for the

West. We are steadfast in our support of Israel and we pray for a

true and lasting peace. "

Rally participants will blow hundreds of shofarot in a demonstration

of unity with Israel. People are to enter the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza

at 47th Street and Second Avenue. Arrangements for bus parking can

be made through the JCRC (212-489-9300) and flyer or other

information can be obtained at

If you cannot be there in person please be there in spirit and please

share this information with everyone you can.

Some thoughts on the upcoming rally and the state of the world.

In 1939 a young American Jewish activist, barely out of her teens,

visited THE NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR. There she sought out as many high

ranking JAPANESE officials and their wives as possible. She said

only two words to each of those JAPANESE officals and their wives.

The words, in the form of a simple two word question, were:

" You Jewish? "

Hitler had granted Japanese citizens " Honorary Aryan Status " .

The Axis Powers at the time were Germany, Italy and Japan.

Though Japan was a full-fledged member of the Nazi Axis and acted

like it in China where some 30 MILLION CHINESE PEOPLE were

slaughtered by JAPAN during the 1931-1945 period it was not fooled

by Hitler's granting of " Honorary Aryan Status " to the people of

Japan. The Japanese people were not then and are not now tall blond

fair skinned blue-eyed " Aryans " .

Though Japan was an ally of Hitler it was able to look a short

distance away to Stalin's Soviet Union to see the fate of another

Hitler ally, which had signed the infamous Hitler-Stalin non-

aggression pact of 1939, only to be invaded by Hitler in June of

1941. Hitler eventually slaughtered between 20 MILLION and 27

MILLION SOVIET PEOPLE.

So it came to pass on December 7th, 1941 that Japanese planes bombed

Pearl Harbor. Clearly Japan was hoping to destroy the American

Pacific Fleet in port at Pearl Harbor, leaving America unable to

pursue a Pacific War against Japan, but angry enough to join

America's Mother Country, England, in the war against Hitler, thus

opening a Second Front against Hitler and slowing Hitler's march

across the Soviet Union down long enough for Japan to prepare itself

to become Hitler's NEXT VICTIM,should Hitler succeed in destroying

the Soviet Union.

Unfortunately for Japan the US aircraft carriers were at sea on

December 7th, 1941, rather than in port at Pearl Harbor and so

America was able to wage BOTH the Pacific War against Japan AND to

eventually open up the Second Front against Hitler in Europe.

The 2 word question: " You Jewish? " , asked by that young female

Jewish American activist to the Japanese officials and their wives

at the 1939 NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR could well be asked today to so-

called " IRANIAN " officials and their wives at the United Nations and

around the world by other activists. So-called " IRAN " was called

Persia before 1935. It was named " IRAN " in 1935 when Persia sought

to remake itself as another ally of Hitler. " IRAN " literally means:

" LAND OF THE ARYANS " .

Like the Japanese in the Hitler era, Persians may well discover that

they too

are not really " Aryans " at all. They are not really tall blond blue-

eyed fair

skinned Nazi Germans by any stretch of the imagination no matter how

insane the

tyrants who rule Persia today may be.

So-called " Iran " has long been

in the hands

of lunatics who are traitors to Persia and Shia Islam and have been

in bed with

the enemies of both.

" How Iran got its name

March 16, 2006 (c.e.)

WorldNetDaily.com

If you didn't think Iran could plunge any lower as a nation-state,

you were wrong. Iran's semi-official, best-selling newspaper,

Hamshahri,

actually published by the city government of Tehran, is running a

contest for

the best cartoons poking fun at the Holocaust.

While this may be shocking to some, it is actually what we should

expect from the mad mullahs of Iran. This is not, as the newspaper

editors have

suggested, merely a way for Iranians to protest the Danish cartoons

about

Muhammad. This is not just a way for the

Iranians and the radical Islamic world to attempt to portray

themselves as victims. This is not just a tit-for-tat exercise.

This is a reflection of the Iranian mullahs' Nazi sympathies. This

is a way for them to show the entire Islamic world that they still

believe in

Hitler's " final solution. " This is just the latest manifestation of

70 years of

anti-Jewish history in Iran – and a lot longer in the Islamic world.

In fact, do

you know how the nation of Iran got its name? For thousands of

years, the

country we now know as Iran was known as Persia. But in 1935, the

shah of Iran,

the father of the man deposed in 1979, was a Nazi sympathizer. He

hated the

Jews. So he decided to show his true stripes by renaming his country

Iran, which

literally means " land of the Aryans. "

Later, that same shah welcomed Haj Mohammad Amin al-Husseini, the

exiled grand mufti of Jerusalem, into the country. The mufti was on

the run

because of his pro-Nazi work and his efforts in attempting to bring

the Jewish

Holocaust to the Middle East. Al-Husseini would later go on to

inspire and tutor

Yasser Arafat in

the art of Jew-killing. Arafat referred to al-Husseini as " uncle. "

The Nazi shah may have received good notices from Berlin, but London

was none too thrilled with his pro-Nazi position. And, unfortunately

for him and

fortunately for the rest of the world, Hitler did not conquer the

world. The

shah was deposed by the British and replaced with his son. But the

name " Iran "

stuck. And it illustrates the visceral,underlying anti-Semitism that

has shown

itself throughout history in the Islamic world. "

c-span, also known as C-SPAN provides much valuable information.

However, we are

distressed that programs like

Washington Journal on c-span seem to provide a forum for

anti-Semites and enemies of Israel and the Jewish people in

general who seem to not only call into that t.v. show, but get

through, and get

on the air, where they are seldom interupted or cut off by the show's

moderators. We feel that a 2 minute delay could enable the show's

moderators to

screen out the anti-Semites and enemies of Israel and the Jewish

people, however

no such 2 minute delay seems to be in place. Moreover the moderators

of that

show and others do not seem to be of a mind to cut off the anti-

Semites and

other enemies of Israel and the Jewish people in general who

regularly call into

that show and others

on c-span. We have therefore created this in the hopes

that members

of the group will become regular viewers of c-span and will call in

regularly to

Washington Journal and other c-span call in t.v. shows, to support

Israel and

the Jewish people and to counter the anti-Semites and other enemies

of Israel

and the Jewish people whose calls are regularly aired on c-span. We

also hope

that members of our will contact their U.S.

Senators and members of Congress and President Bush at

the situation at c-span.

We have great love for the people of Persia. It is tragic that the

Persian

people are living under the rule of an evil tyrant and his gang.

We can recall that it was another evil tyrant, Saddam Hussein,who

arranged to

have the philosophical writings of his own evil uncle Khairallah,

published in a

treatise titled 'Three Whom God

Should Not Have Created: Iranians, Jews and Flies. "

Just as Hitler would have wiped out the people of Japan, if he had

had the

chance to, even though Japan was an ally of Nazi Germany, as soon as

he had

finished wiping out the people of the Soviet Union, even though the

Soviet Union

had been an ally of Nazi Germany before Hitler invaded the Soviet

Union in June

of 1941, so Saddam Hussein would gladly have wiped out every single

Persian on

earth if he had had the chance.

We hope that the people of Persia will reclaim the proud name of

their nation

and rename so-called " Iran " Persia as Persia is the true name of

that nation.

Persia is not now, and has never been the so-called " LAND OF THE

ARYANS " ,

despite the fact that it is wrongfully called " Iran " now.

We would love to see " regime change " in Persia which would set

Persia back on

the road to democracy and peace and freedom.

Jews and Persians have much in common. We shudder at the thought of

the coming

carnage that will have to be inflicted upon Persia to accomplish

regime change,

and the destruction of the nuclear weapons program and other weapons

of mass

destruction programs and stockpiles there if Persia is unable to rid

itself of

its insane regime by itself. But that may have to be. It had to be

in Nazi

Germany to free Germans from the rule of the mad man Hitler and his

insane Nazi

gang. Germany was unable to free itself from Nazi rule by itself.

Help to

accomplish that goal had to come from without.

That help took a terrible toll on the people of Germany but there

was no

alternative to inflicting that carnage. The World War Two alliance

that included

England and America perservered and accomplished the liberation of

Germany.

So today the civlized world may well have to liberate Persia from

the tyrants

who rule it now if the people of Persia are unable to do so from

within.

We must admit that we can see no sign that would tell us that the

people of

Persia will be able to free themselves from the tyrant and his gang

that hold

sway there now before it is too late.

Persia is on the threshold of acquiring nuclear weapons.

It cannot be allowed to acquire them. If the world does not act soon

it may be

too late.

In such a case those Persian nuclear weapons would be used first

upon Israel and

America and then on the rest of the civilized world.

The retaliation from Israel and America would destroy Persia utterly.

Thus it is not a question of saving SOME Persians from the harm

which a

pre-emptive strike to eliminate the Persian regime and its nuclear

weapons

program and weapons of mass destruction programs and stockpiles

would cause,it

is a question of saving ALL Persians from the total destruction

which the

inevitable retaliation by Israel and America would bring to Persia,

as well as

of saving the people of Israel and America and the rest of the

civilized world

from the otherwise inevitable Persian first strike against Israel

and America.

Iran Test-Fires Sub-To-Surface Missile

August 28, 2006 1:34 p.m. EST

Julie Farby - All Headline News Staff Writer

Tehran, Iran (AHN)-In a show of its military prowess amid a standoff

with the

West over its nuclear activities, Iran test fired a new submarine-to-

surface

missile during war games in the Persian Gulf on Sunday.

A brief video clip showed the long-range missile, called Thaqeb, or

Saturn,

exiting the water and hitting a target on the water's surface within

less than a

mile, with navy commander, Gen. Sajjad Kouchaki telling state-run

Iranian

television, " The army successfully test fired a top speed long-range

sub-to-surface missile off the Persian Gulf. "

In an advance for Iran 's weapons industry, the Thaqeb is the

country's first

sub-fired missile that leaves the water to strike its target, adding

to the

country's repertoire of weapons that can hit ships in the Gulf.

Kouchaki says the Thaqeb, which could be fired from any vessel and

escape enemy

radar, was built based on domestic know-how, although outside

experts say much

of the country's missile technology originated from other countries

like Russia

and China .

However, after decades of relying on foreign weapons purchases,

Iran 's military

has been working to boost its domestic production of armaments.

Since 1992, Iran has produced its own tanks, armored personnel

carriers,

missiles and a fighter plane, the government has said. It announced

in early

2005 that it had begun production of torpedoes. "

Iranian Generals Reveal New Weapons Systems and Methods, Discuss

Possibility of

Confrontation With U.S. Forces in Persian Gulf

The following are excerpts from interviews with Iranian army

generals on the

subject of recent war games. The interviews aired on the Iranian

News Channel

(IRINN) on August 21, 2006, and on Iranian Channel 2 on August 17,

2006.

TO VIEW THIS CLIP, VISIT: http://www.memritv.org/search.asp?

ACT=S9 & P1=1246 .

Iranian Channel 2, August 17

Admiral Sajjad Kouchaki, commander of the navy of the Iranian

Army: " We have

made achievements in building submarines of various tonnages. "

Interviewer: " I recall a two-seater submarine which was tested two

or three

years ago. Have you built other submarines as well? "

Sajjad Kouchaki: " Yes. This is a small submarine for two divers. We

have built

larger submarines. Today, we are building submarines weighing 120-

500 tons.

These submarines can reach any depth in the Persian Gulf, the Gulf

of Oman and

the north of the Indian Ocean , and can 'shadow' the enemy's vessels

very

closely.

" Another technological aspect I can tell you about is the building

of missile

boats. These boats can carry anti-ship missiles, with a range of

over 100

kilometers. I am pleased to say that these missiles were designed

and built with

the help of personnel and experts from the army, the Defense

Ministry, and the

universities. "

Interviewer: " Are these guided missiles? "

Sajjad Kouchaki: " Yes, they are. "

" I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the brigades of

the

marines. I am pleased to say that our brigades are stationed today

on the Abu

Musa and Sirri islands, protecting them with all their might. These

brigades can

be divided into over 1,500 special operations teams, which can

deploy throughout

the Persian Gulf, from the northernmost tip to the southernmost tip,

the port of

Gavater , and can attack the enemy below surface, above surface,

from the air,

and from the shore. I am pleased to say that we have this

capability. "

Interviewer: " Mr. Kouchaki, will you conduct new testing in this

maneuver? "

Sajjad Kouchaki: " Yes. I am pleased to say that we have many defense

technologies in this field. In general, I can tell you that several

submarines

will be tested in this maneuver. "

Interviewer: " For the first time? "

Sajjad Kouchaki: " Yes. I can also say that unmanned aerial vehicles

for combat

and reconnaissance will be used for the first time in this maneuver,

as well as

torpedoes that we built ourselves, which can be launched from

submarines and

boats, as well as from islands or from the shore, to hit the

designated targets.

" In this maneuver, we are operating launching equipment for

missiles, torpedoes,

and mines. In addition, COMINT equipment and active and passive

sonar will be

used in this maneuver. "

General Abdolrahim Mousavi, head of the Iranian army's Joint

Staff: " Our planes

have been given to us by their country of manufacture, but if these

countries

ever face our planes, they will see things that even they could not

imagine. The

modifications our planes have undergone - in their systems for

combat,

identification, missiles, launching, and smart bombs - all of these

are not what

they had built. "

Sajjad Kouchaki: " Our tactics are completely different from the

enemy's

conventional tactics. This means that our submarines can easily get

near the

enemy. Even our enemies know full well that one of our submarines

passed under

one of their [vessels], without their noticing. We came close to

their anchored

vessels, and we even filmed their anchor chain. We followed them

through a

periscope at a depth of one kilometer, without their noticing. All

these methods

and tactics are non-classical and non-conventional, constituting

unbalanced

warfare. "

Interviewer: " Mr. Kouchaki, can a boat, for example, be loaded with

explosives,

and directed, by remote control, towards some warship? "

Sajjad Kouchaki: " Yes, it can be done below surface, above surface,

and from the

air. "

Interviewer: " How can [the enemy] confront this - by interception? "

Sajjad Kouchaki: " Yes, that's the method, but we need to use the

element of

surprise. "

Interviewer: " What would happen if a hundred of these are used

simultaneously? "

Sajjad Kouchaki: " Naturally, they would be able to intercept some,

but others

would hit the target. However, I don't think this is a good method,

if we use

the unconventional tactics of unbalanced warfare. "

Interviewer: " What you mean is that all options are open, and even

if we are

technologically inferior, we have methods of confronting [the

enemy]. "

Sajjad Kouchaki: " Yes. "

Interviewer: " Mr. Kouchaki, is there a division of labor between you

and the

IRGC navy, or do you complement one another? "

Sajjad Kouchaki: " I am delighted to say that you have asked a very

good

question. These two navies complement one another. As our honorable

leader

[Khamenei] has said, these are two branches and two navies that

complement one

another.

" The IRGC navy has good experience in the strategic dimension of

speed boats,

anti-ship missiles, and techniques and tactics of unbalanced

warfare. "

Abdolrahim Mousavi: " Regarding what Admiral Kouchaki said, the same

submarine

that passed underneath the American warship could have done other

things as

well. It could pass underneath it again - doing other things. The

same goes for

the unmanned planes. The same unmanned plane that flew over the

warships in the

Persian Gulf , taking pictures of them all, can do other things if

equipped with

a warhead. No matter how large they are, they have vulnerabilities. "

Iranian News Channel (IRINN), August 21, 2006

General Ja'fari, Iranian Army: " Another aspect of this maneuver is

the use of

new weapons and systems by our soldiers. This new equipment includes

bullets

designed to penetrate bulletproof vests. That's the way it is in

war. Whenever

something new is made, something is immediately made to counter it.

Once they

used to talk about electronic warfare. Later they talked about anti-

electronic

warfare. Then they talked about anti-anti-electronic warfare. Today,

there are

bulletproof vests, and they are used by the enemy. We have

manufactured

ammunition that can penetrate these vests, and they were tested in

this

maneuver. "

General Kiomars Heidari, spokesman for the maneuver: " Today, we

tested three

systems, in order to make the airspace of the area of the maneuver

unsafe for

the attacking planes and helicopters of the enemy. These systems

have been

proven very successful. Our first system was an air-mine. It is

being tested for

the first time in our country, and with great success. With this

system, we can

make a large part of our country's airspace unsafe for the enemy's

planes. The

second system was a light, portable, shoulder-launched missile,

manufactured by

our military industries. These missiles are portable, and are

carried and

operated by a single person. These missiles too can make a large

part of the

country unsafe for the enemy's planes. "

U.N. Actions Embolden Hezbollah

Turtle Bay

BY BENNY AVNI

August 28, 2006

URL: http://www.nysun.com/article/38677

UNITED NATIONS — The clearest-eyed analysts of the international

scene,

regrettably, represent the Middle East 's craziest regime.

Iran's mullahs, emboldened by Turtle Bay 's waffling on the Lebanon

crisis, are

moving quickly to consolidate their gains and solidify their seat in

the no

longer exclusive nuclear club.

Despite a U.N. Security Council-imposed Thursday deadline to suspend

all uranium

enrichment, Tehran unveiled a new heavy-water plant in Arak on

Saturday and

tested a long-range submarine-to-surface missile, called Thaqeb,

yesterday.

Iran would have us believe that the plutonium plant and the missile

are designed

for peaceful purposes only. Will the Security Council challenge that

assertion?

An Iranian following the Lebanon diplomacy would have no reason to

think so.

While Secretary-General Annan was declaring victory this weekend

over those who

doubted the United Nations' ability to put together a European-led

international

force, Iran 's proxy, Hezbollah, was breathing a sigh of relief.

Prime Minister Olmert told his Cabinet yesterday that if someone had

said before

the war that Lebanon's army could be deployed on the border — and

that Mr. Annan

could say a multinational force would disarm Hezbollah; and that a

weapons

embargo would be imposed on Hezbollah — he would have told him

he " was

fantasizing, " according to Ynet.

Disarm? Impose an embargo? Here's a reality check:

The Europeans agreed to send troops to Lebanon only after receiving

assurances

that, as Mr. Annan told reporters in Brussels on Friday, " The

disarmament of

Hezbollah cannot be done by force. It has to be a political

agreement. " The

Security Council, he emphasized, " does not require deployment of

U.N. troops " on

the Syrian border to enforce the weapons embargo.

As Lori Lowenthal Marcus notes in the September 4 issue of the

Weekly Standard,

during the war the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon made public Israeli

troop

movements and other information useful to Hezbollah. The new

multinational

force, which everyone now assumes will have no hostile intentions

toward the

terrorist organization, would help monitor Israel in a similar

fashion.

Israel is not ready for a " second round, " Hezbollah's chief, Sheik

Hassan

Nasrallah, told Lebanon 's New TV yesterday. He said his

organization will avoid

any action that " could open the debate on a second resolution, which

Bush wants

and which is connected with disarming the resistance. "

Tehran analysts could be excused for praising Allah. But what about

a new

council resolution, one that this time would really, really disarm

Hezbollah?

Such a resolution is about as likely as punitive measures against

Iran for

sticking its thumb in the council's eye.

Last week, when the mullahs dismissed the carrot they were offered,

it was clear

the council is not ready to wield its stick.

" The answer is not simply a matter of yes or no. It's a very

complicated reply, "

China's deputy ambassador to the United Nations, Liu Zehnmin, told

me after Iran

delivered a 21-page answer to an American-backed diplomatic

incentives package.

But hadn't the council asked for a yes-or-no answer on suspending

uranium

enrichment? " We want to see a solution, not a simple yes or no, " Mr.

Liu

insisted.

The " solution " may come from Mr. Annan, who is embarking on a Middle

Eastern

trip today in Beirut , complete with red-carpet stops in Damascus

and Tehran .

One hopes Mr. Annan won't have to view any embarrassing caricatures.

Despite

repeated prodding, U.N. spokesmen have played it safe and declined

to denounce

Mr. Annan's host in Tehran , President Ahmadinejad, for organizing a

Holocaust

cartoon contest.

Instead, as China 's Mr. Liu said, Mr. Annan hopes to " convince the

Iranian

government to get in negotiations " on the nuclear issue.

Ah, negotiations, the elixir the Iranians have offered the council

throughout

the last decade whenever their march toward nuclear weapons

capability has been

mildly threatened.

As the mullahs learned from the Lebanon episode, their interests

often converge

with those of Western politicians who promote united international

diplomacy —

especially when everyone agrees to politely sweep the nuclear dust

under Persian

rugs.

Meanwhile, in Jerusalem , where " the international community " has

become an

oft-used phrase, officials also are saying U.N.-centered diplomacy

is working

for them.

But as Ha'aretz reported, Mr. Olmert just named the commander of the

air force,

Major General Elyezer Shkedy, to coordinate military contingency

plans on the

Iranian front. A son of Holocaust survivors, General Shkedy has a

picture in his

office of an Israeli F–15 recently flying over Auschwitz . Israel ,

after all,

was not founded on the belief that world powers could be trusted to

save the

Jews. "

Despite Fear of Torture, Iranian Faces Deportation

March 06, 2004

Vancouver Sun

Global BC

An Iranian man who says he faces torture if forced to return to his

home country

has had his bid to stay in Canada rejected. Ali Reza Monemi, 27,

fled Iran after

he was lashed with a leather whip by the morality police in 1999.

" He was found in a public park with a woman who was married, "

Monemi's lawyer

Peter Larlee says, " and he was taken by the morality police, held in

custody for

two days and then taken back to the place where he was found and

lashed 60

times. And because of this, he fled Iran. "

Monemi has been working in West Vancouver for the last five years.

Despite his

appeals to stay, he has been ordered to leave the country within the

next 11

days.

Lashings are not an uncommon punishment in Iran. They're often done

in groups of

10 to prevent the victim from passing out.

After receiving the first 15 lashes of his punishment, Monemi

couldn't breathe.

His tormentors stopped momentarily to give him oxygen, then

continued the

lashing. The worst of it was below the belt.

" We have a medical report provided by a medical practicitioner in

Vancouver who

has examined him and found that he has scarring on his back that is

consistent

with lashing, that is someone who has been tortured, who has been

whipped, and

has suffered as a result of it, " Larlee says.

In spite of that evidence, and documents from Iran's Islamic court

that state

that Monemi's punishment is far from over, the Canada Border

Services Agency is

deporting Monemi because, his lawyer says, they don't believe the

claims of

torture.

" He has been convicted in abstentia, with a further sentence of 95

more lashes,

a term of imprisonment and exile within Iran, " Larlee says.

Because Monemi fled Iran, he could also be facing the death penalty.

That is why

he is going to the federal court of Canada to have his case reviewed.

Monemi worries he might not survive another flogging.

" It's so scary for me, " he says. "

Afghanistan Re-Establishes Morality Police

AFGHANISTAN'S notorious Department for the Promotion of Virtue and

Prevention of

Vice, which was set up by the Taliban to enforce bans on women doing

anything

from working to wearing nail varnish or laughing out loud, is to be

re-created

by the government in Kabul. "

Iran police in fashion crackdown

Iran's morality police have made several raids in Tehran, in an

apparent

crackdown on women who flout the strict Islamic dress code.

Witnesses said dozens of young women were held in the raids on

shopping centres

and shops in the capital.

Police also confiscated several items of clothing deemed to be too

revealing.

After winning parliamentary elections in February, hardliners warned

they would

not tolerate what they described as social corruption.

However, the clampdown could be the usual summer anti-vice operation,

correspondents say.

Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, Iran's laws say all young women

must wear the

veil and a long coat that conceals their figures, or face fines or

even

imprisonment.

'Rebellious population'

Witnesses said scores of police - including female officers in

chadors - raided

the Milad commercial centres in western Tehran and took away dozens

of young

women in special minibuses.

Shops selling fashion clothing for women - especially bright figure-

hugging

coats - were also targeted.

The police chief in Tehran recently warned that anybody caught

involved in what

he called social corruption would be punished, the BBC's regional

analyst Sadeq

Saba says.

Reports from other major cities suggest that similar harsh measures

are being

adopted there, he adds.

In the historic city of Isfahan, police recently banned women who

were

improperly veiled from entering public places, the country's

official news

agency Irna reported.

It said police in the city also banned the playing of live music in

reception

halls and at public events.

Since February's victory, Iran's conservatives have been putting

pressure on the

authorities to fight what they call the erosion of Islamic values,

our analyst

says.

The hardliners are angry that women are progressively defying the

rules by

wearing shorter, tighter and brighter coats, especially during the

scorching

summer months.

But many observers believe that the crackdown will be counter-

productive in a

country with a young, educated and increasingly rebellious

population, our

analyst adds.

Kidnapped Fox Journalists Convert to Islam and Are RELEASED

August 27, 2006 8:21 AM

Filed in: National News, Terrorism, Middle East

UPDATE From Brit Hume of Fox News:

Hume: Yes, and what an appealing faith these thugs must believe

Islam is, that

conversions have to be effected at the point of a gun. And what of

the argument

that all of the ills and troubles that beset the Palestinian people,

that lead

them to terrorism, are the cause of what they endlessly refer to as

the illegal

Israeli occupation.

Consider the latest rounds of trouble in Gaza and Lebanon, two

places from which

Israel has withdrawn.

It has been noted that not for one day after the Israeli pullout

from Gaza did

the rocket attacks that came from Gaza ever stop. We're not dealing

here with

something that is susceptible to a political resolution of the kind

of which the

State Department and many a president has dreamed.

We're dealing here with a lawless enemy whose goal far transcends any

side-by-side, two-state solution. That isn't going to do it. We're

dealing with

a terrorist, gangland-style enemy, which I think it's fair to

conclude, and this

episode only further illustrates it, must be defeated.

We agree completely with Brit Hume's statement above. We hope that

you do too.

" The Origins of the SO-CALLED " palestinian " Arabs by Daniel Pipes

No " SO-CALLED " palestinian " Arab people " existed at the start of

1920, but, by

December, it took shape in a form recognizably similar to today's.

Until the

late nineteenth century, residents

living in the region between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean

identified themselves primarily in terms of religion: Moslems felt

far stronger

bonds with remote co-religionists than with nearby Christians and

Jews. Living

in that area did not imply any sense of common political purpose.

Then came the

ideology of nationalism from Europe; its ideal of a government that

embodies the

spirit of its people was alien but appealing to Middle Easterners.

How to apply this ideal, though Who constitutes a nation and where

must the

boundaries be These questions stimulated huge debates. Some said the

residents

of the Levant are a nation; others said Eastern Arabic speakers; or

all Arabic

speakers; or all Moslems. But no one suggested " SO-

CALLED " palestinians, " and

for good

reason. SO-CALLED " palestinie " , then a secular way of saying Eretz

Yisra'el or Terra Sancta, embodied a purely Jewish and Christian

concept, one

utterly foreign to Moslems, even repugnant to them. This distaste

was confirmed

in April 1920, when the

British occupying force carved out a " Palestine. " Moslems reacted

very suspiciously, rightly seeing this designation as a victory for

Zionism. Less accurately, they worried about it signaling a revival

in the

Crusader impulse. No prominent Moslem voices endorsed the

delineation of

Palestine in 1920; all protested it. Instead, Moslems west of the

Jordan

directed their allegiance to

Damascus, where the great-great-uncle of Jordan's King Abdullah II

was then ruling; they identified themselves as Southern Syrians.

Interestingly, no one advocated this affiliation more emphatically

than a young

man named Amin Husseini. In July 1920, however, the French overthrew

this

Hashemite king, in the process killing the notion of a Southern

Syria. Isolated

by the events of

April and July, the Moslems of Palestine made the best of a bad

situation. One prominent Jerusalemite commented, just days following

the fall of

the Hashemite kingdom: " after the recent events in Damascus, we have

to effect a

complete change in our plans here. Southern Syria no longer exists.

We must

defend SO-CALLED " palestine " " Following this advice, the leadership

in

December 1920 adopted the goal of establishing an independent SO-

CALLED

" palestinian " state. Within a few years, this

effort was led by Husseini. Other identities - Syrian, Arab, and

Moslem - continued to compete for decades afterward with the SO-

CALLED " palestinian " one, but the latter has by now mostly swept the

others

aside and reigns nearly supreme. The

writer is director of the Philadelphia-based Middle East Forum. "

http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/History/palarabs.html

" What is the Origin of the Name " Palestine "

Where did the name Palestine come from

The name Palestine refers to a region of the eastern Mediterranean

coast from the sea to the Jordan valley and from the southern Negev

desert to the Galilee lake region in the north. The word itself

derives from " Peleshet " , a name that appears frequently in the Bible

and has come into English as " Philistine " . The Philistines were

Mediterranean people originating from Asia Minor and Greek

localities. They reached the southern coast of Israel in several

waves. One group arrived in the pre-patriarchal period and settled

south of Beersheba in Gerar where they came into conflict with

Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael. Another group, coming from Crete after

being repulsed from an attempted invasion of Egypt by Rameses III in

1194 BCE, seized the southern coastal area, where they founded five

settlements (Gaza, Ascalon, Ashdod, Ekron and Gat). In the Persian

and Greek periods, foreign settlers - chiefly from the Mediterranean

islands - overran the Philistine districts. From the time of

Herodotus, Greeks called the eastern coast of the Mediterranean

" Syria Palaestina " .

The Philistines were not Arabs nor even Semites, they were most

closely related to the Greeks. They did not speak Arabic. They had no

connection, ethnic, linguistic or historical with Arabia or Arabs.

The name " Falastin " that Arabs today use for " Palestine " is not an

Arabic name. It is the Arab pronunciation of the Greco-Roman

" Palastina " ; which is derived from the Peleshet, (root Pelesh) which

was a general term meaning " dividers " , " penetrators " or " invaders " .

This referred to the Philistine's invasion and conquest of the coast

from the sea.

The Roman historian Herodotus was the first to mention the name. He

called it " the Philistine Syria. " Subsequently, the name was

shortened to " Palestina, " and eventually Palestine. The Christian

Crusaders employed the word to refer to the general area that had

been known since the fourth century as the " three Palestines. " After

the fall of the crusader kingdom, Palestine was no longer an official

designation. The name, however, continued to be used informally for

the lands on both sides of the Jordan River. The Ottoman Turks, who

were non-Arabs but religious Muslims, ruled the area for 400 years

(1517-1917). Under Ottoman rule, Palestine attached administratively

to the province of Damascus and ruled from Istanbul. The name

Palestine was revived after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in World

War I and applied to this territory under the British Mandate.

GENETIC STUDIES: JEWS ARE FROM ISRAEL,

SO-CALLED " palestinians " FROM SAUDI ARABIA

Arabs claim that today's Jews aren't really

descendants of ancient Israelites and are really

converts WITHOUT EVER SHOWING ANY PROOF.

Here's GENETIC PROOF that not only are Jews

descendants of the Jews who were exiled from Israel

by Romans, but Jews of today have more Israelite

genes than Arabs have genes of ancient Arabs.

Furthermore, SO-CALLED " palestinians " are originally from Saudi

Arabia and Yemen. Go back wherever the hell you

came from!

University of Baltimore: Jews are originally

from northern Middle East (where Israel is

located), while SO-CALLED " palestinians " are originally from

Saudi Arabia.

The study also says that while Jews are

partially the product of mixed-marriages and converts, Jews have

about

70% to 80% blood

of ancient Israelites, while Arabs have only 50% blood of ancient

Arabs.

http://www.ubalt.edu/kulanu/jewishdna.html

National Academy of Sciences: Several lines of evidence support

the

hypothesis that Diaspora Jews

from Europe, Northwest Africa, and the Near East resemble each other

more closely than they resemble their

non-Jewish neighbors.

Second, despite their high degree of geographic dispersion, Jewish

populations from Europe, North Africa,

and the Near East were less diverged genetically from each other than

any other group of populations in this study (meaning that Jews have

more Israelite genes than Arabs have genes of ancient Arabs) .

Our results indicated a relatively minor contribution of European Y

chromosomes to the Ashkenazim. If we

assume 80 generations since the founding of the Ashkenazi population,

then the rate of admixture would be

<0.5% per generation .

Stanford University: If you made a genetic map of Europe and the

Middle East and you put Ashkenazi

Jews on it, they would not end up in Turkey or in the middle of

Europe, but in the Mediterranean.

http://www.forward.com/issues/2001/01.08.17/genetic2.html

University of Arizona: We saw such a strong signal of a

Middle-Eastern origin in Jews. Jews really are a

single ethnic group coming from the Middle East. Even if you look

like

another European with blue eyes

and light skin, your genes are telling that you're from the Middle

East.

http://www.jewishaz.com/jewishnews/000519/study.shtml

NY Times: The analysis provides genetic witness that these

communities have, to a

remarkable extent, retained their biological identity separate from

their host populations,

evidence of relatively little intermarriage or conversion into

Judaism

over the centuries.

http://foundationstone.com.au/HtmlSupport/WebPage/semiticGenetics.htm

l

Reuters (on web site): A study shows that Jews suffer from

the same illnesses. If

Jews were mere French, Polish, etc. converts, they would not share

the

same genetic makeup

with each other.

http://in.news./011217/107/1b4p6.html

ABC News: " Jews have preserved their Middle Eastern genetic roots

over 4,000 years.

Very few non-Jewish European genes have gotten into the Ashkenazi

(European and American)

Jewish populations. The comparison, published Monday, of groups of

Semites also shows that

Jews have successfully resisted having their gene pool diluted,

despite having lived among

non-Jews for thousands of years in what is commonly known as the

Diaspora

WE ARE LOOKING FOR PHOTOS OF THE

PROSTITUTES SADDAM ORDERED

TO BE BEHEADED IRAQ: Death Squads

Allegedly Behead Suspected

Prostitutes Iraqi

guerrillas, with the support of

President Saddam Hussein, are

attacking and beheading women and girls

suspected of prostitution, the

Bahrain Tribune reports. The group leading the anti-prostitution

campaign is allegedly headed by Uday Hussein, the son of the Iraqi

president. The Tribune cites a report in the Arabic al-Hayat

newspaper

that claims the effort was launched to reduce prostitution.. The

beheadings, which reportedly occur in front of the accuseds home,

have been attended by members of the ruling Baath Party and the Iraqi

Federation of Women. Victims have also included men alleged to have

served as pimps or family members who have purportedly condoned the

womens behavior. One traveler reported that at least 50 people have

been beheaded in Baghdad so far (Bahrain Tribune, 30 Oct).

In truth, it is a struggle for civilization.

Excerpted from remarks by President George W. Bush September 11th,

2006:

THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. Five years ago, this date -- September

the 11th --

was seared into America's memory. Nineteen men attacked us with a

barbarity

unequaled in our history. They murdered people of all colors,

creeds, and

nationalities -- and made war upon the entire free world. Since that

day,

America and her allies have taken the offensive in a war unlike any

we have

fought before. Today, we are safer, but we are not yet safe. On this

solemn

night, I've asked for some of your time to discuss the nature of the

threat

still before us, what we are doing to protect our nation, and the

building of a

more hopeful Middle East that holds the key to peace for America and

the world.

On 9/11, our nation saw the face of evil. Yet on that awful day, we

also

witnessed something distinctly American: ordinary citizens rising to

the

occasion, and responding with extraordinary acts of courage. We saw

courage in

office workers who were trapped on the high floors of burning

skyscrapers -- and

called home so that their last words to their families would be of

comfort and

love. We saw courage in passengers aboard Flight 93, who recited the

23rd Psalm

-- and then charged the cockpit. And we saw courage in the Pentagon

staff who

made it out of the flames and smoke -- and ran back in to answer

cries for help.

On this day, we remember the innocent who lost their lives -- and we

pay tribute

to those who gave their lives so that others might live.

For many of our citizens, the wounds of that morning are still

fresh. I've met

firefighters and police officers who choke up at the memory of

fallen comrades.

I've stood with families gathered on a grassy field in Pennsylvania,

who take

bittersweet pride in loved ones who refused to be victims -- and

gave America

our first victory in the war on terror. I've sat beside young

mothers with

children who are now five years old -- and still long for the

daddies who will

never cradle them in their arms. Out of this suffering, we resolve

to honor

every man and woman lost. And we seek their lasting memorial in a

safer and more

hopeful world.

Since the horror of 9/11, we've learned a great deal about the

enemy. We have

learned that they are evil and kill without mercy -- but not without

purpose. We

have learned that they form a global network of extremists who are

driven by a

perverted vision of Islam -- a totalitarian ideology that hates

freedom, rejects

tolerance, and despises all dissent. And we have learned that their

goal is to

build a radical Islamic empire where women are prisoners in their

homes, men are

beaten for missing prayer meetings, and terrorists have a safe haven

to plan and

launch attacks on America and other civilized nations. The war

against this

enemy is more than a military conflict. It is the decisive

ideological struggle

of the 21st century, and the calling of our generation.

Our nation is being tested in a way that we have not been since the

start of the

Cold War. We saw what a handful of our enemies can do with box-

cutters and plane

tickets. We hear their threats to launch even more terrible attacks

on our

people. And we know that if they were able to get their hands on

weapons of mass

destruction, they would use them against us. We face an enemy

determined to

bring death and suffering into our homes. America did not ask for

this war, and

every American wishes it were over. So do I. But the war is not

over -- and it

will not be over until either we or the extremists emerge

victorious. If we do

not defeat these enemies now, we will leave our children to face a

Middle East

overrun by terrorist states and radical dictators armed with nuclear

weapons. We

are in a war that will set the course for this new century -- and

determine the

destiny of millions across the world.

For America, 9/11 was more than a tragedy -- it changed the way we

look at the

world. On September the 11th, we resolved that we would go on the

offense

against our enemies, and we would not distinguish between the

terrorists and

those who harbor or support them. So we helped drive the Taliban

from power in

Afghanistan. We put al Qaeda on the run, and killed or captured most

of those

who planned the 9/11 attacks, including the man believed to be the

mastermind,

Khalid Sheik Mohammed. He and other suspected terrorists have been

questioned by

the Central Intelligence Agency, and they provided valuable

information that has

helped stop attacks in America and across the world. Now these men

have been

transferred to Guantanamo Bay, so they can be held to account for

their actions.

Osama bin Laden and other terrorists are still in hiding. Our

message to them is

clear: No matter how long it takes, America will find you, and we

will bring you

to justice.

On September the 11th, we learned that America must confront threats

before they

reach our shores, whether those threats come from terrorist networks

or

terrorist states....the regime of Saddam Hussein was a clear threat.

My

administration, the Congress, and the United Nations saw the threat -

- and after

9/11, Saddam's regime posed a risk that the world could not afford

to take. The

world is safer because Saddam Hussein is no longer in power. And now

the

challenge is to help the Iraqi people build a democracy that

fulfills the dreams

of the nearly 12 million Iraqis who came out to vote in free

elections last

December.

Al Qaeda and other extremists from across the world have come to

Iraq to stop

the rise of a free society in the heart of the Middle East. They

have joined the

remnants of Saddam's regime and other armed groups to foment

sectarian violence

and drive us out. Our enemies in Iraq are tough and they are

committed -- but so

are Iraqi and coalition forces. We're adapting to stay ahead of the

enemy, and

we are carrying out a clear plan to ensure that a democratic Iraq

succeeds.

We're training Iraqi troops so they can defend their nation. We're

helping

Iraq's unity government grow in strength and serve its people. We

will not leave

until this work is done. Whatever mistakes have been made in Iraq,

the worst

mistake would be to think that if we pulled out, the terrorists

would leave us

alone. They will not leave us alone. They will follow us. The safety

of America

depends on the outcome of the battle in the streets of Baghdad.

Osama bin Laden

calls this fight " the Third World War " -- and he says that victory

for the

terrorists in Iraq will mean America's " defeat and disgrace

forever. " If we

yield Iraq to men like bin Laden, our enemies will be emboldened;

they will gain

a new safe haven; they will use Iraq's resources to fuel their

extremist

movement. We will not allow this to happen. America will stay in the

fight. Iraq

will be a free nation, and a strong ally in the war on terror.

We can be confident that our coalition will succeed because the

Iraqi people

have been steadfast in the face of unspeakable violence. And we can

be confident

in victory because of the skill and resolve of America's Armed

Forces. Every one

of our troops is a volunteer, and since the attacks of September the

11th, more

than 1.6 million Americans have stepped forward to put on our

nation's uniform.

In Iraq, Afghanistan, and other fronts in the war on terror, the men

and women

of our military are making great sacrifices to keep us safe. Some

have suffered

terrible injuries -- and nearly 3,000 have given their lives.

America cherishes

their memory. We pray for their families. And we will never back

down from the

work they have begun.

We also honor those who toil day and night to keep our homeland

safe, and we are

giving them the tools they need to protect our people. We've created

the

Department of Homeland Security. We have torn down the wall that

kept law

enforcement and intelligence from sharing information. We've

tightened security

at our airports and seaports and borders, and we've created new

programs to

monitor enemy bank records and phone calls. Thanks to the hard work

of our law

enforcement and intelligence professionals, we have broken up

terrorist cells in

our midst and saved American lives.

Five years after 9/11, our enemies have not succeeded in launching

another

attack on our soil, but they've not been idle. Al Qaeda and those

inspired by

its hateful ideology have carried out terrorist attacks in more than

two dozen

nations. And just last month, they were foiled in a plot to blow up

passenger

planes headed for the United States. They remain determined to

attack America

and kill our citizens -- and we are determined to stop them. We'll

continue to

give the men and women who protect us every resource and legal

authority they

need to do their jobs.

In the first days after the 9/11 attacks I promised to use every

element of

national power to fight the terrorists, wherever we find them. One

of the

strongest weapons in our arsenal is the power of freedom. The

terrorists fear

freedom as much as they do our firepower. They are thrown into panic

at the

sight of an old man pulling the election lever, girls enrolling in

schools, or

families worshiping God in their own traditions. They know that

given a choice,

people will choose freedom over their extremist ideology. So their

answer is to

deny people this choice by raging against the forces of freedom and

moderation.

This struggle has been called a clash of civilizations. In truth, it

is a

struggle for civilization. We are fighting to maintain the way of

life enjoyed

by free nations. And we're fighting for the possibility that good

and decent

people across the Middle East can raise up societies based on

freedom and

tolerance and personal dignity.

We are now in the early hours of this struggle between tyranny and

freedom. Amid

the violence, some question whether the people of the Middle East

want their

freedom, and whether the forces of moderation can prevail. For 60

years, these

doubts guided our policies in the Middle East. And then, on a bright

September

morning, it became clear that the calm we saw in the Middle East was

only a

mirage. Years of pursuing stability to promote peace had left us

with neither.

So we changed our policies, and committed America's influence in the

world to

advancing freedom and democracy as the great alternatives to

repression and

radicalism.

With our help, the people of the Middle East are now stepping

forward to claim

their freedom. From Kabul to Baghdad to Beirut, there are brave men

and women

risking their lives each day for the same freedoms that we enjoy.

And they have

one question for us: Do we have the confidence to do in the Middle

East what our

fathers and grandfathers accomplished in Europe and Asia? By

standing with

democratic leaders and reformers, by giving voice to the hopes of

decent men and

women, we're offering a path away from radicalism. And we are

enlisting the most

powerful force for peace and moderation in the Middle East: the

desire of

millions to be free.

Across the broader Middle East, the extremists are fighting to

prevent such a

future. Yet America has confronted evil before, and we have defeated

it --

sometimes at the cost of thousands of good men in a single battle.

When Franklin

Roosevelt vowed to defeat two enemies across two oceans, he could

not have

foreseen D-Day and Iwo Jima -- but he would not have been surprised

at the

outcome. When Harry Truman promised American support for free

peoples resisting

Soviet aggression, he could not have foreseen the rise of the Berlin

Wall -- but

he would not have been surprised to see it brought down. Throughout

our history,

America has seen liberty challenged, and every time, we have seen

liberty

triumph with sacrifice and determination.

At the start of this young century, America looks to the day when

the people of

the Middle East leave the desert of despotism for the fertile

gardens of

liberty, and resume their rightful place in a world of peace and

prosperity. We

look to the day when the nations of that region recognize their

greatest

resource is not the oil in the ground, but the talent and creativity

of their

people. We look to the day when moms and dads throughout the Middle

East see a

future of hope and opportunity for their children. And when that

good day comes,

the clouds of war will part, the appeal of radicalism will decline,

and we will

leave our children with a better and safer world.

On this solemn anniversary, we rededicate ourselves to this cause.

Our nation

has endured trials, and we face a difficult road ahead. Winning this

war will

require the determined efforts of a unified country, and we must put

aside our

differences and work together to meet the test that history has

given us. We

will defeat our enemies. We will protect our people. And we will

lead the 21st

century into a shining age of human liberty.

Earlier this year, I traveled to the United States Military Academy.

I was there

to deliver the commencement address to the first class to arrive at

West Point

after the attacks of September the 11th. That day I met a proud mom

named

RoseEllen Dowdell. She was there to watch her son, Patrick, accept

his

commission in the finest Army the world has ever known. A few weeks

earlier,

RoseEllen had watched her other son, James, graduate from the Fire

Academy in

New York City. On both these days, her thoughts turned to someone

who was not

there to share the moment: her husband, Kevin Dowdell. Kevin was one

of the 343

firefighters who rushed to the burning towers of the World Trade

Center on

September the 11th -- and never came home. His sons lost their

father that day,

but not the passion for service he instilled in them. Here is what

RoseEllen

says about her boys: " As a mother, I cross my fingers and pray all

the time for

their safety -- but as worried as I am, I'm also proud, and I know

their dad

would be, too. "

Our nation is blessed to have young Americans like these -- and we

will need

them. Dangerous enemies have declared their intention to destroy our

way of

life. They're not the first to try, and their fate will be the same

as those who

tried before. Nine-Eleven showed us why. The attacks were meant to

bring us to

our knees, and they did, but not in the way the terrorists intended.

Americans

united in prayer, came to the aid of neighbors in need, and resolved

that our

enemies would not have the last word. The spirit of our people is

the source of

America's strength. And we go forward with trust in that spirit,

confidence in

our purpose, and faith in a loving God who made us to be free.

Thank you, and may God bless you.

" this nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means

to destroy

those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation. "

President Bush Discusses Terror Plot Upon Arrival in Wisconsin

Austin Straubel International Airport

Green Bay, Wisconsin In Focus: Homeland Security

THE PRESIDENT: The recent arrests that our fellow citizens are now

learning

about are a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic

fascists who

will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt

our nation.

I want to thank the government of Tony Blair and officials in the

United

Kingdom for their good work in busting this plot. I thank the

officials in

Washington, D.C. and around our country who gather intelligence and

who work to

protect the American people. The cooperation on this venture was

excellent --

cooperation between U.K. and U.S. authorities and officials was

solid. And the

cooperation amongst agencies within our government was excellent.

This country is safer than it was prior to 9/11. We've taken a lot

of measures

to protect the American people. But obviously, we're still not

completely safe,

because there are people that still plot and people who want to harm

us for what

we believe in. It is a mistake to believe there is no threat to the

United

States of America. And that is why we have given our officials the

tools they

need to protect our people.

Travelers are going to be inconvenienced as a result of the steps

we've taken. I

urge their patience and ask them to be vigilant. The inconvenience

is -- occurs

because we will take the steps necessary to protect the American

people.

Again, I appreciate the close cooperation between our government and

the

government of the United Kingdom. The American people need to know

we live in a

dangerous world, but our government will do everything we can to

protect our

people from those dangers.

Thank you.

Will America act to remove the weapons of mass destruction, and the

nuclear weapons program in Persia, which since 1935 has been

so-called " Iran " , which literally means LAND OF THE ARYANS, it

changed its name from Persia in 1935 in its alliance with Hitler,

and the

weapons of mass destruction in Syria, some of which may now, or may

soon be, in

the hands of Hezbollah or of Hamas, whose headquarters are in

Damascus, of will

America wait until those weapons are used against Israel, against

America,

against the rest of the civilized world?

We urge you to contact President Bush now, and every single day,

until he does act. Please go to http://www.whitehouse.gov and

contact the

President to urge him to act now.

We are aware of the terrible tragedy which such action contains. We

have great fondness for the people of Persia. They are a proud and

noble people

with a history which they should be proud of for the most part.

Unfortunately a

weak President named Jimmy Carter let the lunatics take charge in

Persia and

stay in power. Today those lunatics and their allies in Damascus,

and their

joint

puppets in Lebanon and elswhere are a direct threat to Israel and

America and civilization in general.

A far greater tragedy would result from inaction on the part of

President Bush. Unless dramatic action is taken by President Bush

now it may be

too late to head off an imminent WMD attack on Israel and America

and the rest

of the civilized world by Persia, a.k.a. " Iran " , and its Syrian

allies and

assorted

terrorist puppets.

Choices

The late Carl Sagan: 1934-1996, wrote of hoped for

" methods of avoiding the self-destruction that seems so real a

danger of our present technological adolescence… " in: Knowledge is

Our Destiny, " The Dragons of Eden, p. 234

Sagan was hoping that some extra-terrestrial " advanced

civilizations " might have found those methods.

Here on earth we face the question of whether we can find them

ourselves before it is too late.

Clearly humanity possesses the means to destroy itself. Clearly

humanity lacks

the maturity to avoid destroying itself.

The question is whether the most dangerous people on earth in

possession of the most dangerous weapons on earth can be disarmed

before they

can use those weapons, or, ideally, can be prevented from possessing

those

weapons in the first place.

Clearly we are in a race against time. Weapons of mass destruction

in the hands of lunatics constitutes a threat to the survival of our

planet. Can the lunatics be disarmed in time? Can we prevent the

lunatics from

becoming armed with weapons of mass destruction in the first place?

How much

time have we got before it is too late and those weapons start going

off in

cities in America, Israel, Europe, Asia, Australia, etc.? Clearly

not much. The

time to act is now, before it is too late.

" Whether `tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of

outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and,

by opposing, end them? " Hamlet, William Shakespeare

Shakespeare was well aware of the dilemmas caused by lack of

decisiveness.

Indecision is in fact a decision. To avoid action is

to permit other actions to occur. Sir Edmund Burke put it this

way: " All that is necessary for the forces of evil to win in this

world is for a few good men to do nothing. "

We saw the world stand by and do nothing as The Holocaust occurred.

We saw the world stand by and do nothing as Saddam Hussein paid a

bounty for Jewish scalps by paying the families of GENOCIDE BOMBERS

amounts which climbed from $10,000 to $15,000 to $25,000 and would

no doubt have continued to climb had George W. Bush not liberated

Iraq in March of 2003.

We saw Germans and looked, usually in vain, in a mostly futile

search to find the few " Good Germans " who opposed Hitler. The book

Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust

by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen explores the Germans found by Daniel

Jonah Goldhagen

Goldhagen says: " … my book shifts the focus of the investigation of

the Holocaust from where it has been—namely, on abstract structures

like the S.S., the Nazi Party, and the terror apparatus—to the human

beings who actually perpetrated the crimes. A very large number of

ordinary Germans were involved—a minimum figure of 100,000--and

until this point, you have probably read close to nothing about the

actual people who carried out the killings, manned the camps, and

guarded the ghettos. I have shifted the investigation to them, the

perpetrators, in an effort to explain their actions, uncover their

motivations, and explicate how such a thing could have happened in

an otherwise civilized country such as Germany.

I am very pleased that the publication of my book has produced

widespread, international discussion and that so many people seem to

feel compelled to come to grips with its contents. Whatever exact

conclusions people arrive at after reading my book—and some

continuing disagreements are inevitable—that the issues it raises

are being discussed so vigorously can be seen as being only a good

thing. "

Daniel Jonah Goldhagen is Associate Professor of Government and

Social Studies at Harvard University and an Associate of Harvard's

Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies.

Hitler's Willing Executioners is based upon his doctoral

dissertation, which was awarded the American Political Science

Association's 1994 Gabriel A. Almond Award for the best dissertation

in the field of comparative politics. "

Today we see Syria and Iran goose-stepping along with Hamas, et. al.

and wonder when someone will act to stop them before it is too late.

The traitor to Shia Islam and Persia who has assumed power through a

sham " election " , which saw countless candidates ruled off the ballot

by fiat of

the tyranny, who calls himself the " President of Iran " may well be

the most

insane and dangerous person on earth.

Moreover that mad man is allied with Syria, with the terrorists

hosted by Syria who are murdering Americans in Iraq, and with a

worldwide gang

of terrorists who have been murdering people all over the world for

many years.

President Bush on Iran

President Bush gave a speech yesterday that is among the most

important he's

given in a long time.

He was speaking to the Military Officers Association of America at

the Capitol

Hilton Hotel in Washington D.C.

He began by talking about Al Qaeda, and the nature of the enemy.

The terrorists who attacked us on September the 11th, 2001, are men

without

conscience...They kill in the name of a clear and focused ideology,

a set of

beliefs that are evil.... These al Qaeda terrorists and those who

share their

ideology are violent Sunni extremists. They're driven by a radical

and perverted

vision of Islam that rejects tolerance, crushes all dissent, and

justifies the

murder of innocent men, women and children in the pursuit of

political power.

They hope to establish a violent political utopia across the Middle

East, which

they call a " Caliphate " -- where all would be ruled according to

their hateful

ideology. Osama bin Laden has called the 9/11 attacks -- in his

words -- " a

great step towards the unity of Muslims and establishing the

Righteous…

[Caliphate]. "

This caliphate would be a totalitarian Islamic empire encompassing

all current

and former Muslim lands, stretching from Europe to North Africa, the

Middle

East, and Southeast Asia. We know this because al Qaeda has told us.

About two

months ago, the terrorist Zawahiri -- he's al Qaeda's second in

command --

declared that al Qaeda intends to impose its rule in " every land

that was a home

for Islam, from [spain] to Iraq. He went on to say, " The whole world

is an open

field for us. "

He described Al Qaeda's strategy, referring to captured documents.

Still other captured documents show al Qaeda's strategy for

infiltrating Muslim

nations, establishing terrorist enclaves, overthrowing governments,

and building

their totalitarian empire. We see this strategy laid out in a

captured al Qaeda

document found during a recent raid in Iraq, which describes their

plans to

infiltrate and take over Iraq's western Anbar Province. The document

lays out an

elaborate al Qaeda governing structure for the region that includes

an Education

Department, a Social Services Department, a Justice Department, and

an

" Execution Unit " responsible for " Sorting out, Arrest, Murder, and

Destruction. "

However, President Bush also went on to say " the broader terrorist

movement is

also changing, " and also referred to Shia extremists and ultimately

Iran.

He was direct and did not mince words on the nature of the Iranian

regime.

Like al Qaeda and the Sunni extremists, the Iranian regime has clear

aims: They

want to drive America out of the region, to destroy Israel, and to

dominate the

broader Middle East. To achieve these aims, they are funding and

arming

terrorist groups like Hezbollah, which allow them to attack Israel

and America

by proxy. Hezbollah, the source of the current instability in

Lebanon, has

killed more Americans than any terrorist organization except al

Qaeda. Unlike al

Qaeda, they've not yet attacked the American homeland. Yet they're

directly

responsible for the murder of hundreds of Americans abroad. It was

Hezbollah

that was behind the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in

Beirut that

killed 241 Americans. And Saudi Hezbollah was behind the 1996

bombing of Khobar

Towers in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 Americans, an attack conducted

by

terrorists who we believe were working with Iranian officials.

Just as we must take the words of the Sunni extremists seriously, we

must take

the words of the Shia extremists seriously. Listen to the words of

Hezbollah's

leader, the terrorist Nasrallah, who has declared his hatred of

America. He

says, " Let the entire world hear me. Our hostility to the Great

Satan [America]

is absolute… Regardless of how the world has changed after 11

September, Death

to America will remain our reverberating and powerful slogan: Death

to America. "

Iran's leaders, who back Hezbollah, have also declared their

absolute hostility

to America. Last October, Iran's President declared in a speech that

some people

ask -- in his words -- " whether a world without the United States

and Zionism

can be achieved… I say that this… goal is achievable. " Less than

three months

ago, Iran's President declared to America and other Western

powers: " open your

eyes and see the fate of pharaoh… if you do not abandon the path of

falsehood…

your doomed destiny will be annihilation. " Less than two months ago,

he warned:

" The anger of Muslims may reach an explosion point soon. If such a

day comes…

[America and the West] should know that the waves of the blast will

not remain

within the boundaries of our region. " He also delivered this message

to the

American people: " If you would like to have good relations with the

Iranian

nation in the future… bow down before the greatness of the Iranian

nation and

surrender. If you don't accept [to do this], the Iranian nation

will… force you

to surrender and bow down. "

Then, in words that could not be more clear, and should be noted by

everyone,

President Bush said:

The world's free nations will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear

weapon.

....

I'm not going to allow this to happen -- and no future American

President can

allow it either

Either those words will prove to be an empty threat, and hence make

us look

weak, or President Bush has made military action against Iran a real

possibility. " end of excerpted item found at

" We're engaged in a global struggle against the followers of a

murderous

ideology that despises freedom and crushes all dissent, and has

territorial

ambitions and pursues totalitarian aims. … And against such an enemy

there is

only one effective response: We will never back down, we will never

give in and

we will never accept anything less than complete victory. … We will

defeat the

terrorists and their hateful ideology by spreading the hope of

freedom across

the world. … The security of our nation depends on the advance of

liberty in

other nations. "

Issue 1 President Bush Addresses MOAA (Military Officers Association

of

America)

On September 5th,2006 President George W. Bush spoke to an audience

of 500-plus

MOAA members and invited guests on the importance of continuing to

press the

Global War on Terrorism. The speech was televised nationally.

MOAA Board Chairman General John W. Hendrix (USA-Ret) introduced the

President

after offering a brief overview of MOAA's mission.

President Bush took the opportunity to cite the words of the leaders

of Al Qaeda

and other terrorist organizations, highlighting their avowed enmity

of our

country, their determination to continue a course of violence in the

pursuit of

their goals, and the importance of not underestimating or ignoring

the threat.

MOAA was pleased and honored to provide the venue for the Commander

In Chief to

present this important statement.

In turn, the national media attention provided an important

opportunity for

broad public recognition of our association and our mission of

supporting a

strong national defense by ensuring fair treatment for past, present

and future

service members and their families and survivors.

There are theories and then there are distortions of

fact. Two very different things. Take for instance:

" 4,000 Jews, 1 Lie Tracking an Internet hoax. By Bryan Curtis

Posted Friday, October 5, 2001

[Addendum, Oct. 7,: Osama Bin Laden essentially claimed credit for

the

Sept. 11 attacks in a statement recorded before Sunday's strikes on

Afghanistan. " America was hit by God in one of its softest spots, " he

said. " If it continues with this policy [against Iraq and the PLO],

the sons of Islam will not stop their struggle. " ] It is an article of

faith in many Muslim countries that Israel was behind the attack on

the World Trade Center, with many citing as their evidence a " news

report " that 4,000 Israelis called in sick from their jobs at the

World Trade Center on Sept. 11. The allegation has now appeared on

scores of Web sites and bulletin boards, has been reproduced in

e-mails too numerous to count, and has run as fact in newspapers and

news broadcasts in the Middle East. Where did this charge originate,

and what path did it take around the world? First, a question begs:

Where did the precise figure of 4,000 Israelis come from? According

to

the Anti-Defamation League's Web site, on Sept. 11, the Israeli

Embassy released a statement expressing concern about the 4,000

Israeli nationals living in New York City-few of whom actually worked

in the World Trade Center in a Sept. 17 report on Lebanon's Al-Manar

Television. The Los Angeles Times reports that the terrorist group

Hezbollah has free access to Al-Manar's airwaves, and the station's

Web site claims that the station exists to " stage an effective

psychological warfare with the Zionist enemy. " The next day at 6:26

a.m., the American Web site Information Times published an article

headlined " 4,000 Jews Did Not Go To Work At WTC On Sept. 11, " and

credited it to an " AL-MANAR Television Special Investigative Report. "

This was not the first time that Information Times had pointed the

finger at Israel. The day after the attacks, it warned in an article

that the " terrorist government of Israel . cannot be ruled out " as a

suspect. Information Times purports to be edited by Syed Adeeb from

the eighth floor of the National Press Club at 549 15th St. NW,

Washington, DC, 20045. The Press Club says it has no such tenant and

repeated messages sent to the e-mail address for Syed Abeed listed on

the site bounce back as undeliverable. Directory assistance for

Washington, D.C., has no listing for Information Times. The " 4,000

Jews " page is easily forwarded as e-mail, and this may explain the

message's rapid dissemination. The Information Times article ***

charges: Citing the Jordanian newspaper Al-Watan, it alleges that

" Israelis remained absent [on Sept. 11] based on hints from the

Israeli General Security Apparatus, the Shabak. " No media source

except Al-Manar claims to have actually seen the editorial in

Al-Watan, which the Jordanian Embassy's information bureau describes

as an obscure newspaper with a low circulation. Al-Watan's source?

Unnamed " Arab diplomatic sources. " (A few newspapers called Al-Watan

have Web sites-click here, here, and here to visit them-though none

seem to be based in Jordan.) Within days, the story appeared in

newspapers around the world. A remarkably similar version appeared

under the byline of Irina Malenko in Russia's Pravda on Sept. 21.

Pravda removed the article from its Web site a few hours after

posting, calling it a " great and foolish mistake, " but it can still

be

accessed here. On Sept. 21, the Chicago Tribune reported that a

Pakistani paper, which it did not name, had published a similar

account. In his Sept. 23 Slate " Dispatch " from Islamabad, Peter Maass

reported that a local pro-Taliban politician repeated the 4,000 Jews

claim at an anti-U.S.rally. On Sept. 26, Pakistan's Business Recorder

printed the story about 4,000 Jews in language almost identical to

the

original Al-Manar article as a letter to the editor under the name

" Hakeem. " The same day, the New York Times reported that the

allegation had appeared in a newsletter published by an Islamic

charity and in lesson plans prepared by Egyptian middle-school

teachers. On Oct. 4, the Chicago Tribune spotted the allegation in a

Saudi paper, which it did not name. In the Oct. 8 issue of Time, Tim

McGirk reported from Pakistan that the story had swept through the

country's mosques and Urdu newspapers. On Sept. 28, USA Today

repeated

the claim in the context that " Muslims the world over " had tried to

pin the attack on Israel. USA Today did not explain the origin of the

charge. The Village Voice did the same on Oct. 2. The hoax-debunking

site Snopes.com assailed the story, as well. With the Web as a

weapon,

a lie spreads quickly and easily. With the Web as a corrective tool,

the same lie becomes much easier to bat away. Bryan Curtis is a Slate

assistant editor. " http://slate.msn.com/?id=116813

" Bin Laden: Yes, I did it [attacks on the World Trade Centre and the

Pentagon] By David Bamber London Telegraph 11 November 2001 OSAMA BIN

LADEN has for the first time admitted that his al-Qa'eda group

carried

out the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, the

Telegraph can reveal. In a previously undisclosed video which has

been

circulating for 14 days among his supporters, he confesses that

" history should be a witness that we are terrorists. Yes, we kill

their innocents " . In the footage, shot in the Afghan mountains at the

end of October, a smiling bin Laden goes on to say that the World

Trade Centre's twin towers were a " legitimate target " and the pilots

who hijacked the planes were " blessed by Allah " . The killing of at

least 4,537 people was justified, he claims, because they were " not

civilians " but were working for the American system. Bin Laden also

makes a direct personal threat against Tony Blair, the Prime

Minister,

for the first time, and warns nations such as Australia, Germany and

Japan to stay out of the conflict. The video will form the

centrepiece

of Britain and America's new evidence against bin Laden, to be

released this Wednesday. The footage, to which the Telegraph obtained

access in the Middle East yesterday, was not made for public release

via the al-Jazeera television network used by bin Laden for

propaganda

purposes in the past. It is believed to be intended as a rallying

call

to al-Qa'eda members. In the video, bin Laden says: " The Twin Towers

were legitimate targets, they were supporting US economic power.

These

events were great by all measurement. What was destroyed were not

only

the towers, but the towers of morale in that country. " The hijackers

were " blessed by Allah to destroy America's economic and military

landmarks " . He freely admits to being behind the attacks: " If

avenging

the killing of our people is terrorism then history should be a

witness that we are terrorists. Yes, we kill their innocents and this

is legal religiously and logically. " In a contradictory section,

however, bin Laden justifies killing the occupants of the Twin Towers

because they were not civilians - Islam forbids the killing of

innocent civilians even in a holy war. He says: " The towers were

supposed to be filled with supporters of the economical powers of the

United States who are abusing the world. Those who talk about

civilians should change their stand and reconsider their position. We

are treating them like they treated us. " Bin Laden goes on to justify

his entire terror campaign. " There are two types of terror, good and

bad. What we are practising is good terror. We will not stop killing

them and whoever supports them. " He directly threatens the lives of

President Bush and Mr Blair. " Bush and Blair don't understand

anything

but the power of force. Every time they kill us, we kill them, so the

balance of terror can be achieved. " He also calls on all Muslims to

join him. " It is the duty of every Muslim to fight. Killing Jews is

top priority. " Bin Laden warns other nations to keep out of the

conflict, implying that they could face terror attacks if they do

not.

In the video, he also claims responsibility for an unspecified

terrorist outrage in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which he claims was

sparked

by secret messages in one of his videos. He admits for the first time

using public pronouncements on video to whip up terrorism - a danger

about which the British and American governments have warned

broadcasters. It is significant that throughout the video he uses the

personal pronouns " I " and " we " to claim responsibility for the

attacks. In the past, he has spoken of the attackers only in the

third

person. Bin Laden has publicly issued four previous videos since

September 11, always denying carrying out the atrocities. He now

claims to have access to nuclear and chemical weapons. Bin Laden made

the claims on Friday night during an interview with the English

language Pakistani newspaper Dawn. He said: " If America used chemical

or nuclear weapons against us, then we may retort with chemical and

nuclear weapons. We have the weapons as deterrent. "

" With the aid and speed of the Internet, conspiracy theorists are

spreading a rumor that 4,000 Israelis who worked in the World Trade

Center didn't report for work the day two airliners commandeered by

terrorists crashed into the towers, destroying the tallest buildings

in New York. The e-mailers and Internet sites spreading the tale

suggest this is evidence Israel, not Islamic terrorists, were behind

the attack Sept. 11 - or at least had advance knowledge of it.

There's

just one problem with the story, WorldNetDaily has learned. It's not

true. The report seems to have originated in Jordan's Al Watan

newspaper and been spread by Pakistani publications, including Jang.

Versions of the story have been repeated at news conferences by

Islamic clerics in the Middle East and Central Asia. Alex Safian,

associate director of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East

Reporting in America, or CAMERA, which monitors Middle East media

coverage, says his organization first saw the report on Lebanon's

Al-Manara Television. Al-Manara is the television station of

Hezbollah

- a militant Islamic terrorist group. " 4,000 Israeli Employees in WTC

Absent the Day of the Attack, " read the " Manar TV " headline Sept. 17.

" With the announcement of the attacks at the World Trade Center in

New

York, the international media, particularly the Israeli one, hurried

to take advantage of the incident and started mourning 4,000 Israelis

who work at the two towers, " started the Hezbollah story. " Then

suddenly, no one ever mentioned anything about those Israelis and

later it became clear that they remarkably did not show up in their

jobs the day the incident took place. " No one talked about any

Israeli

being killed or wounded in the attacks, " the story added. In fact, at

least 130 Israelis were killed in the World Trade Center attack. Many

more are missing. Nevertheless, Pakistani political leader Sami-ul

Haq, in calling for a nationwide strike yesterday to protest his

country's plan to cooperate with the U.S., made reference to the

rumor. " Thousands of Jews working - nothing happened to them, " Haq

told a roomful of reporters. The Israeli consulate may be partly

responsible for the rumor. Immediately after the tragic attack, it

filed requests for information on as many as 4,000 Israelis who may

have been in the World Trade Center at the time of the attacks.

Nearly

50,000 people work in the buildings at any one time. Many, however,

left the second tower following the first attack. ***An FBI spokesman

claimed not to have any knowledge of the rumor and refused comment or

any interest in it. "

" The Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini was later the notorious

Nazi who mixed Nazi propaganda and Islam. He was wanted for war

crimes

in Bosnia by Yugoslavia. His mix of militant propagandizing Islam was

an inspriation for both Yasser Arafat and Saddam Husein: He was also

a

close relative of Yasser Arafat and grandfather of the current Temple

Mount Mufti. " Arafat's actual name was Abd al-Rahman abd al-Bauf

Arafat al-Qud al-Husseini. He shortened it to obscure his kinship

with

the notorious Nazi and ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Muhammed Amin

al-Husseini. " His battle cry was simple and comprehensive: " Down with

the Infidels! " Howard M. Sachar, A HISTORY OF ISRAEL (New York:

Knopf,

1976). The Bet Agron International Center in Jerusalem interviewed

Arafat's brother and sister, who described the Mufti as a cousin

(family member) with tremendous influence on young Yassir after the

Mufti returned from Berlin to Cairo. Yasser Arafat himself keeps his

exact lineage and birthplace secret. Saddam Hussein was raised in the

house of his uncle Khayrallah Tulfah, who was a leader in the Mufti's

pro-Nazi coup in Iraq in May 1941 [1] THE PILLAR OF FIRE, Shikmona

Publishing Company ltd, p 1.61 Right after the 1942 Allied victory in

El Alamein, Jerusalem's grand mufti, Haj Amin al-Husseini, took to

the

airwaves and broadcast in Arabic from Berlin. At that time he already

was " prime minister " of a pan-Arab government formed in the German

capital. His foreign minister was exiled Iraqi leader Rashid Ali

al-Kilani and his war minister, Fawsi al-Kaukji. Husseini called on

his numerous disciples throughout the Middle East not to lose heart

though their greatest hope - Rommel's conquest of Eretz Yisrael - was

foiled. The mufti planned a triumphant return with the conquering

Axis forces, and the construction of a death camp outside Nablus to

implement the final solution of the Jewish problem in this region.

Despair after the Desert Rat's rout was immense, but Husseini wouldn'

t give up. " Arise, o sons of Arabia, " he exhorted his avid pro-Nazi

followers. " Fight for your sacred rights. Slaughter Jews wherever you

find them. Their spilled blood pleases Allah, our history and

religion. That will save our honor. "

In late 1944, Husseini still sponsored a last-ditch effort to

trigger another

Arab rebellion. His agents, a mixed German-Arab commando crew,

parachuted here.

Their first mission was poisoning Tel Aviv's wells. Husseini arrived

in Berlin

three years earlier, after escaping the British. There he became

Hitler's

personal guest. The fuehrer granted him a prolonged personal

audience, and the

two reached a perfect meeting of the minds

on how to solve the Jewish problem. Husseini was put up in a large

house on Berlin's Klopstock Street, to which the SS referred as " the

Jewish Institute. " With good reason. Until 1939 it was a

Zionist-oriented Hebrew school. There must have been particular

perverse pleasure in lodging the mufti precisely there. He thereafter

referred to his new residence as " The Research Institute on the

Jewish

Problem in the Moslem World. " The Germans regarded Husseini as worth

investing in. Various Nazi establishments competed for his

affections.

The Foreign Ministry paid him the then monthly equivalent of over

$10,000, when the dollar was almighty. This sum was more than matched

by the SS from its sonderfund resources, which consisted of assets

robbed from Jews, often before their execution. Again, the perverse

pleasure must have been considerable. Husseini's first Third Reich

port of call was SS chief Heinrich Himmler's headquarters. Himmler

took Husseini under his personal wing. He not only organized tours

for

him to Auschwitz, but sponsored and financed his Moslem clerical

academy in Dresden. The graduates were to spearhead Nazi rule in

Moslem lands. Husseini was in charge of pro-German and anti-Semitic

propaganda for Arabs and Moslems everywhere. He recruited Bosnians

and

other Moslem volunteers, who were to cleanse newly-occupied areas of

" hostile elements, " concentrate Jews for transport, and operate the

projected death machine in Palestine - in the manner Ukrainians did

the dirty work in Eastern Europe.

The SS interest in the mufti preceded the war. It financed his

uprising here

between 1936-39. In

1937, Adolf Eichmann visited this country to reconnoiter the Zionist

endeavor and meet the mufti, but the British allowed him only a

48-hour stay. Eventually Himmler introduced Husseini to Eichmann.

Thereafter the mufti became a frequent caller at Eichmann's office.

The two got along famously. They shared the goal of exterminating all

Middle Eastern Jews. This is backed by ample documentation from the

Nuremberg and Eichmann trials. At the end of 1942, Eichmann ordered

10,000 Jewish children sent from Poland to Theresienstadt. The Red

Cross offered to trade German civilians for them.Husseini got wind of

the scheme and protested vehemently to Himmler, warning him that the

little Jews would soon become big Jews. The exchange was cancelled.

Husseini is moreover " credited " with having personally foiled any

compromise on the fate of Hungarian Jewry at the very end of the war.

In his memoirs he wrote: " Our fundamental condition for cooperating

with Germany was a free hand to eradicate every last Jew from

Palestine and the Arab world. I asked Hitler for an explicit

undertaking to allow us to solve the Jewish problem in a manner

befitting our national and racial aspirations and according to the

scientific methods innovated by Germany in the handling of its Jews.

The answer I got was: 'The Jews are yours.' " After the war, Husseini

was declared a wanted war criminal. He fled to France, and from there

reached safety in Egypt, joining a host of nefarious Nazis who

continued maintaining a network of espionage, sabotage, and virulent

antisemitism from Arab havens. The mufti, who was deeply mourned by

the masses when he died in 1974, still remains revered. Arafat and

Faissal Husseini are both his blood kin. Neither repudiated him nor

renounced his teachings. A few weeks ago, an official PA communique,

reprinted in Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, accused Israelis of " murdering tots

and elderly Arabs mercilessly. Jews tear open the bellies of pregnant

women and rip out the fetuses, claiming this is the commandment of

the

God of Israel, which he ordered the People of Israel to fulfill. " The

logical remedy must be the mufti's recipe for saving Arab honor and

pleasing Allah.

The spirit of the man from Klopstock Street still

hovers over Gaza. That's why baby Shalhevet was murdered. [2] [2] The

nephew of Khayrallah Tulfah, of the 1941 Pro-Nazi coup in Iraq " We're

dealing with Hitler revisited. " George Bush on Saddam Hussein, Oct.

15, 1990.***. The current leader of Iraq was born on April 28, 1937,

in a small village of al-Auja near the town of Takrit. His early

child

hood was spent in a mud hut in a mostly Sunni Muslim part of Iraq,

which is approximately (100) one-hundred miles north of Baghdad.

Hussein's father, Hussein al-Majid, died or abandoned the family

(according to who is reporting the story), within a short time of his

birth. Accurate records are difficult to obtain in a country where

Hussein's birthday is celebrated as a national holiday. He was reared

alone by his mother Subha, until she took a second husband, Ibrahim

Hassan. Hassan, often said to have been brutal and a thief, was a

sheepherder by profession and enlisted Saddam in his ventures.

According to a former personal secretary of Hussein, his step father

abused Saddam and sent him to steal chicken and sheep to be sold.

This

pattern continued until 1947 when, at the age of ten, he was allowed

to move in with his mother's brother, in Baghdad. " Saddam's Uncle:

" Three Whom God Should Not Have Created: Iranians, Jews and Flies. "

In Baghdad, Hussein began to learn more

than reading and writing.

His tutor, Khayrallah had been

" cashiered " from the Iraqi army for

supporting a " Pro-Nazi " coup attempt

that failed. Khayrallah's

bitterness towards the British and

imperialism, soon was transferred

to Saddam. In fact, some confidants of

Hussein point to his

relationship with Tulfah

as a turning point in his political

awareness. To demonstrate Tulfah's

importance to Hussein, he was later

made Mayor of Baghdad under the

Hussein regime. Saddam finished

intermediate school (roughly the

equivalent of 9th Grade) at the age of

sixteen, and attempted to be

admitted to the prestigious Baghdad Military Academy. Unfortunately,

his poor grades prevented him from doing so, and he became more

deeply

involved in political matters. In 1956, he participated in a

non-successful coup attempt against the monarchy of King Faisal II.

In

1957, he joined the Baath party, a radical nationalist movement. In

1958, a non-Baathist group of army officers succeeded in overthrowing

the King. The group was led by General Abdul Qassim. In 1959, Saddam

and a group of Baathist supporters attempted to assassinate Gen.

Qassim by a day-light machine-gun attack. The attack was

unsuccessful,

but it helped to place Hussein in a leadership position in the

Baathist movement and furthered the process of nationalist political

indoctrination. After the attack, in which Hussein is slightly

wounded, he fled to Syria. From Syria, he went to Cairo, Egypt where

he would spend the next four (4) years. 2 [ Also in Cairo, In 1951, a

close relative of the Mufti named Rahman Abdul Rauf el-Qudwa

el-Husseini matriculated to the University of Cairo. The student

decided to conceal his true identity and enlisted as " Yasser Arafat. "

3 ] Persecution was at its worst at the end of 1968. Scores were

jailed upon the discovery of a local " spy ring " composed of Jewish

businessmen. Fourteen men-eleven of them Jews-were sentenced to death

in staged trials and hanged in the public squares of Baghdad; others

died of torture. On January 27, 1969, Baghdad Radio called upon

Iraqis

to " come and enjoy the feast. " Some 500,000 men, women and children

paraded and danced past the scaffolds where the bodies of the hanged

Jews swung; the mob rhythmically chanted " Death to Israel " and " Death

to all traitors. " This display brought a world-wide public outcry

that

Radio Baghdad dismissed by declaring:

" We hanged spies, but the Jews crucified Christ. " 4 In 1978, Saddam

had been working with other Arab nations to ostracize Egypt for it's

diplomatic initiative in resolving Israel/Arab questions. An ally,

President Hafez al-Assad of Syria, almost became the undoing of

Hussein's ascension. If a Syrian/Iraqi federation were formed against

Egypt, Assad, not Hussein, would rise to a position of greater power

in the relationship. President Bakr would lead the federation with

Assad as second in command. Hussein could not allow that to happen

and

began to urge the President to step down. Again with the help of his

family and security apparatus, Hussein was able to accomplish his

task. On July 16, 1979, President Bakr resigned, officially due to

health problems, but in reality a victim of Hussein's political

in-fighting. Moving quickly to consolidate his power, he called a

major Baathist meeting on July 22, 1979. During the meeting, various

family members and other Hussein devotees urged that the party be

" cleansed " . Hussein then read a list of names and asked that they

step

outside. Once there, they are taken into custody. A high-ranking

member of the Revolutionary Command, the head of the labor unions,

the

leading Shiite member of the Command, and twenty (20) others are then

systematically and personally killed by Hussein and his top party

officials. During the next few days, reports indicate that as many as

450 other military officers, deputy prime ministers, and " non-party

faithful " were rounded up and killed. This purge insured Hussein's

consolidation of power in Iraq.

In 1980, Iraq invaded Iran and conducted an eight year war against

one

of his nearest neighbors and the home of Shiite fundamentalist

Muslims. The war continued for eight years of brutality and even

repression of Hussein's own countrymen " -especially the (Sunni) Kurds

(and the Shiite Arabs)-. " 2 1941 - In April, in accordance to a 1930

treaty Iraq permits the British to move their troops into Iraq. Iraq

appeals for Nazi support and attacks the British air base at

Habbaniya. The Iraqi army is beaten and Prime Minister Rashid Ali

flees the country. Britian resumes military control. The monarchy is

restored. Saddam Hussein's uncle Khairallah is jailed and Saddam

moves

to live with his mother and step-father 1981 - On June 7th Iraq's

nuclear research reactor was destroyed by an Israeli airforce attack.

President Saddam arranges to have the philosophical writings of his

uncle Khairallah published in a treatise titled 'Three Whom God

Should

Not Have Created: Iranians, Jews and Flies. " In September the Iraqi

armed forces pull back East of the Karun river.

http://smokylake.com/Christy/history/iraq.htm (most) of the Arab

population of Iraq are Shiites who are subject to rule by a minority

government of Sunni Arabs in Baghdad. The Shiite sect has been the

subject of repeated harassment and persecution by the Iraq government

which views the sect as a pestilential emanation of the civilization

of Iran, itself viewed as the quintessential enemy of all things

Arab.

The Ministry of Education of Iraq once issued a textbook for boys'

high schools entitled Those Three Whom God Should Not Have Created:

Iranians, Jews, and Flies. Since the rise of the Baþthist Party the

Iraqi government has systematically expelled around 10% of its

population for the crime of having Iranian ancestry. Most Iraqi Jews

have long since fled to Israel.

http://www.isu.edu/~andesean/midest.htm

Kairallah was to become not only Saddam's father figure but his

political mentor as well. Kairallah had fought against Great Britain

in the Iraqi uprising of 1941 and had spent five years in prison for

his nationalist agitation. He filled the impressionable young boy's

head with tales of his heroic relatives-his great grandfather and two

great uncles-who gave their lives for the cause of Iraqi nationalism

while fighting foreign invaders. Kairallah, who was later to become

governor of Baghdad, shaped young Hussein's world view, imbuing him

with a hatred of foreigners. In 1981, Saddam republished a pamphlet

written by his uncle entitled " Three Whom God Should Not Have

Created:

Iranians, Jews, and Flies. "

2) Summons to a Intifada Against Britain

A " Fatwa " Issued by Haj Amin al-Husseini10, May, 1941* Translated

from: - " Oriente Modemo, " 1941, pp. 552-553; broadcast over the

'Iraqi

and Axis radios. In the name of Merciful and Almighty God. I invite

all my Moslem brothers throughout the whole world to join in the Holy

War for God, for the defense of Islam and her lands against her

enemy.

O Faithful, obey and respond to my call. O Moslems! Proud 'Iraq has

placed herself in the vanguard of this Holy Struggle, and has thrown

herself against the strongest enemy of Islam certain that God will

grant her victory.

The English have tried to seize this Arab-Moslem land, but she has

risen, full of dignity and pride to defend her safety, to fight for

her honor and to safeguard her integrity. 'Iraq fights the tyranny

which has always had as its aim the destruction of Islam in every

land. It is the duty of all Moslems to aid 'Iraq in her struggle and

to seek every means to fight the enemy, the traditional traitor in

every age and every situation.

Whoever knows the history of the East has everywhere seen the hand of

the English working to destroy the Ottoman Empire and to divide the

Arab countries. British politics toward the Arab people is masked

under a veil of Hypocrisy. The minute she sees her chance, England

squeezes the prostrate country in her Imperialist grasp, adding

futile

justifications. She creates discord and division within a country and

while feeding it in secret openly she assumes the role of advisor and

trusted hiend. The time when England could deceive the peoples of the

East is passed. The Arab Nation and the Moslem people have awakened

to

fight British domination. The English have overthrown the Ottoman

Empire, have destroyed Moslem rule in India, inciting one community

against another; they stifled the Egyptian awakening, the dream of

Mohammed Ali, colonizing Egypt for half a century. They took

advantage

of the weakening of the Ottoman Empire to stretch out their hands and

use every sort of trick to take possession of many Arab countries as

happened to Aden, the 9 Districts, the Hadramut, Oman, Masqat and the

Emirates of the Persian Gulf and Transjordania. The vivid proof of

the

imperialistic designs of the British is to be found in Moslem

Palestine which, although promised by England to Sheriff Hussein has

had to submit to the outrageous infiltration of Jews, shameful

politics designed to divide Arab-Moslem countries of Asia from those

of Africa. In Palestine the English have committed unheard of

barbarisms; among others, they have profaned the el-Aqsa Mosque and

have declared the most unyielding war against Islam, both in deed and

in word. The Prime Minister at that time told Parliament that the

world would never see peace as long as the Koran existed. What hatred

against Islam is stronger than that which publicly declares the

Sacred

Koran an enemy of human kind? Should such sacrilege go unpunished?

After the dissolution of the Moslem Empire in India and of the

Ottoman

Caliphate, England, adhering to the policy of Gladstone, pursued her

work of destruction to Islam depriving many Islamic States both in

the

East and in the West of their freedom and independence. The number of

Moslems who today live under the rule of England and invoke

liberation

from their terrible yoke exceeds 220,000,000. Therefore I invite you,

O Brothers, to join in the War for God to preserve Islam, your

independence and your lands from English aggression. I invite you to

bring all your weight to bear in helping 'Iraq that she may throw off

the shame that torments her. O Heroic 'Iraq, God is with Thee, the

Arab Nation and the Moslem World are solidly with Thee in Thy Holy

Struggle!

3) The Mufti's Diary on His Meeting with Hitler At the eve of the

" final solution " to the " Jewish Problem " , the Mufti (Yasser Arafat's

father's brother) and Adolf Hitler confer in Berlin, November 21,

1941

Haj Amin al Husseini, recording in his own handwriting his meeting

with Hitler in his diary, says:

The words of the Fuehrer on the 6th of Zul Qaada 1360 of the Hejira

(which falls on the 21st of November 1941) Berlin, Friday, from 4:30

P.M. till a few minutes after 6.:

" The objectives of my fight are clear. Primarily, I am fighting the

Jews without respite, and this fight includes the fight against the

so-called Jewish National Home in Palestine because the Jews want to

establish there a central government for their own pernicious

purposes, and to undertake a devastating and ruinous expansion at the

expense of the govemments of the world and of other peoples.

It is clear that the Jews have accomplished nothing in Palestine and

their claims are lies. All the accomplishments in Palestine are due

to

the Arabs and not to the Jews. I am resolved to find a solution for

the Jewish problem, progressing step by step without cessation. With

regard to this I am making the necessary and right appeal, first to

all the European countries and then to countries outside of Europe.

It is true that our common enemies are Great Britain and the Soviets

whose principles are opposed to ours. But behind them stands hidden

Jewry which drives them both. Jewry has but one aim in both these

countries. We are now in the midst of a life and death struggle

against both these nations. This fight will not only determine the

outcome of the struggle between National Socialism and Jewry, but the

whole conduct of this successful war will be of great and positive

help to the Arabs who are engaged in the same struggle. This is not

only an abstract assurance.* A mere promise would be of no value

whatsoever. But assurance which rests upon a conquering force is the

only one which has real value. In the Iraqi campaign, for instance,

the sympathy of the whole German people was for Iraq. It was our aim

to help Iraq, but circumstances prevented us from fumishing actual

help. The German people saw in them (in the Iraqis-Ed.) comrades in

suffering because the German people too have suffered as they have.

All the help we gave Iraq was not sufficient to save Iraq from the

British forces. For this reason it is necessary to underscore one

thing: in this struggle which will decide the fate of the Arabs I can

now speak as a man dedicated to an ideal and as a military leader and

a soldier. Everyone united in this great struggle who helps to bring

about its successful outcome, serves the common cause and thus serves

the Arab cause. Any other view means weakening the military situation

and thus offers no help to the Arab cause. Therefore it is necessary

for us to decide the steps which can help us against world Jewry,

against Communist Russia and England, and which among them can be

most

useful. Only if we win the war will the hour of deliverance also be

the hour of fulfillment of Arab aspirations. The situation is as

follows: We are conducting the great struggle to open the way to the

North of the Caucasus. The difficulties involved are more than

transportation because of the demolished railways and roads and

because of winter weather. And if I venture in these circumstances to

issue a declaration with regard to Syria, then the pro-de Gaulle

elements in France will be strengthened and this might cause a revolt

in France. These men (the French) will be convinced then that joining

Britain is more advantageous and the detachment of Syria is a pattern

to be followed in the remainder of the French Empire. This will

strengthen de Gaulle's stand in the colonies. If the declaration is

issued now, difficulties will arise in Western Europe which will

cause

the diversion of some (German-Ed.) forces for defensive purposes,

thus

preventing us from sending all our forces to the East. Now I am going

to tell you something I would like you to keep secret. First, I will

keep up my fight until the complete destruction of the Judeo-

Bolshevik

rule has been accomplished. Second, during the struggle (and we don't

know when victory will come, but probably not in the far future) we

will reach the Southern Caucasus. Third, then I would like to issue a

declaration; for then the hour of the liberation of the Arabs will

have arrived. Germany has no ambitions in this area but cares only to

annihilate the power which produces the Jews.

Fourth, I am happy that you have escaped and that you are now with

the

Axis powers. The hour will strike when you will be the lord of the

supreme word and not only the conveyer of our declarations. You will

be the man to direct the Arab force and at that moment I cannot

imagine what would happen to the Western peoples. Fifth, I think that

with this Arab advance begins the dismemberment of the British world.

The road from Rostov to Iran and Iraq is shorter than the distance

from Berlin to Rostov. We hope next year to smash this barrier. It is

better then and not now that a declaration should be issued as (now)

we cannot help in anything.

I understand the Arab desire for this (declaration-Ed.), but His

Excellency the Mufti must understand that only five years after I

became President of the German government and Fuehrer of the German

people, was I able to get such a declaration (the Austrian Union-

Ed.),

and this because military forces prevented me from issuing such a

declaration. But when the German Panzer tanks and the German air

squadrons reach the Southern Caucasus, then will be the time to issue

the declaration. He said (in reply to a request that a secret

declaration or a treaty be made) that a declaration known to a number

of persons cannot remain secret but will become public. I (Hitler)

have made very few declarations in my life, unlike the British who

have made many declarations. If I issue a declaration, I will uphold

it. Once I promised the Finnish Marshal that I would help his country

if the enemy attacks again. This word of mine made a stronger

impression than any written declaration.

Recapitulating, I want to state the following to you: When we shall

have arrived in the Southern Caucasus, then the time of the

liberation

of the Arabs will have arrived. And you can rely on my word. We were

troubled about you. I know your life history. I followed with

interest

your long and dangerous journey. I was very concerned about you. I am

happy that you are with us now and that you are now in a position to

add your strength to the common cause. *This is a reply to the

insistent request of the Mufti for an Axis declaration to the Arabs.
