Swiss Court convicts Israeli Author for Hate Speech

Punished for stating wrong opinions

A Swiss Judge convicted Israeli Author Avi Lipkin to paying a fine for stating in a public meeting in a Churchhall in Switzerlam that Islam is a dangerous religion which threatens Christians and Jews (German).

The closing of the European mind

All over Europe people are being hauled into courts and often indicted for saying that Islam is what it is: an agressive faith which seeks to overthrow the governments, laws and customs of non-islamic states. All over europe people are being hauled into court for though crime, for thinking forbidden thoughts and speaking their minds. The judiciary elites are hell-bent on surpressing dissent with the ruling Multi-Cultural orthodoxy.  

Turkey leaves the Pro-Western alliance

Caroline Glick has a post up at the Jerusalem Post explaining that Turkey is not a Pro-Western country anymore:

Once the apotheosis of a pro-Western, dependable Muslim democracy, this week Turkey officially left the Western alliance and became a full member of the Iranian axis.

It isn't that Ankara's behavior changed fundamentally in recent days. There is nothing new in its massive hostility toward Israel and its effusive solicitousness toward the likes of Syria and Hamas. Since the Islamist AKP party first won control over the Turkish government in the 2002 elections, led by AKP chairman Recip Tayyip Erdogan, the Turks have incrementally and inexorably moved the formerly pro-Western Muslim democracy into the radical Islamist camp populated by the likes of Iran, Syria, Hizbullah, al-Qaida and Hamas.

What made Turkey's behavior this week different from its behavior in recent months and years is that its attacks were concentrated, unequivocal and undeniable for everyone outside of Israel's scandalously imbecilic and flagellant media.

.....

In February 2006, when Erdogan became the first international figure to host Hamas leaders on an official state visit after the jihadist group won the Palestinian elections, Jerusalem sought to explain away his diplomatic aggression. Israeli leaders claimed that Erdogan's red carpet treatment for mass murderers who seek the physical destruction of Israel was not due to any inherent hostility on the part of the AKP regime toward Israel. Rather, it was argued that Ankara simply supported democracy and that the AKP, as a formerly outlawed Islamist party, felt an affinity toward Hamas as a Muslim underdog.

.....

But Turkey wasted no time in making fools of them. On Monday, 11 Turkish government ministers descended on Syria to sign a pile of cooperation agreements with Iran's Arab lackey. The Foreign Ministry didn't even have a chance to write apologetic talking points explaining that brazen move before Syria announced it was entering a military alliance with Turkey and would be holding a joint military exercise with the Turkish military. Speechless in the wake of Turkey's move to hold military maneuvers with its enemy just two days after it canceled joint training with Israel, Jerusalem could think of no mitigating explanation for the move.

.....

Erdogan's anti-Israel and anti-Semitic blows were followed on Tuesday evening by Turkey's government-controlled TRT1 television network's launch of a new prime-time series portraying IDF soldiers as baby- and little girl-killers who force Palestinian women to deliver stillborn babies at roadblocks and line up groups of Palestinians against walls to execute them by firing squad.

.....

TURKEY'S BREAK with the West; its decisive rupture with Israel and its opposition to the US in Iraq and Iran was predictable. Militant Islam of the AKP variety has been enjoying growing popularity and support throughout Turkey for many years. The endemic corruption of Turkey's traditional secular leaders increased the Islamists' popularity. Given this domestic Turkish reality, it is possible that Erdogan and his fellow Islamists' rise to power was simply a matter of time.

But even if the AKP's rise to power was eminently predictable, its ability to consolidate its control over just about every organ of governance in Turkey as well as what was once a thriving free press, and change completely Turkey's strategic posture in just seven years was far from inevitable. For these accomplishments the AKP owes a debt of gratitude to both the Bush and Obama administrations, as well as to the EU.

The Bush administration ignored the warnings of secular Turkish leaders in the country's media, military and diplomatic corps that Erdogan was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Rather than pay attention to his past attempts to undermine Turkey's secular, pro-Western character and treat him with a modicum of suspicion, after the AKP electoral victory in 2002 the Bush administration upheld the AKP and Erdogan as paragons of Islamist moderation and proof positive that the US and the West have no problem with political Islam. Erdogan's softly peddled but remorselessly consolidated Islamism was embraced by senior American officials intent on reducing democracy to a synonym for elections rather than acknowledging that democracy is only meaningful as a system of laws and practices that engender liberal egalitarianism.

In a very real sense, the Bush administration's willingness to be taken in by Erdogan paved the way for its decision in 2005 to pressure Israel to allow Hamas to participate in the Palestinian elections and to coerce Egypt into allowing the Muslim Brotherhood to participate in its parliamentary poll.

In Turkey itself, the administration's enthusiastic embrace of the AKP meant that Erdogan encountered no Western opposition to his moves to end press freedom in Turkey; purge the Turkish military of its secular leaders and end its constitutional mandate to preserve Turkey's secular character; intimidate and disenfranchise secular business leaders and diplomats; and stack the Turkish courts with Islamists. That is, in the name of its support for its water-downed definition of democracy, the US facilitated Erdogan's subversion of all the Turkish institutions that enabled liberal norms to be maintained and kept Turkey in the Western alliance.

As for the Obama administration, since entering office in January it has abandoned US support for democracy activists throughout the world, in favor of a policy of pure appeasement of US adversaries at the expense of US allies. In keeping with this policy, President Barack Obama paid a preening visit to Ankara where he effectively endorsed the Islamization of Turkish foreign policy that has moved the NATO member into the arms of Teheran's mullahs. Taken together, the actions of the Bush and Obama White Houses have demoralized Westernized Turks, who now believe that their country is doomed to descend into the depths of Islamist extremism. As many see it, if they wish to remain in Turkey, their only recourse is to join the Islamist camp and add their voices to the rising chorus of anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism sweeping the country.

Then there is the EU. For years Brussels has been stringing Turkey along, promising that if it enacts sufficient human rights reforms, the 80-million strong Muslim country will be permitted to join Europe. But far from inducing more liberal behavior on the part of Turkey, those supposedly enlightened reforms have paved the way for the Islamist ascendance in the country. By forcing Turkey to curb its military's role as the guarantor of Turkish secularism, the EU took away the secularists' last line of defense against the rising tide of the AKP. By forcing Turkey to treat its political prisoners humanely and cancel the death penalty, the EU eroded the secularists' moral claim to leadership and weakened their ability to effectively combat both Kurdish and Islamist terror.

At the same time, by consistently refusing to permit Turkey to join the EU, despite Ankara's moves to placate its political correctness, Brussels discredited still further Turkey's secularists. When after all their self-defeating and self-abasing reforms, Europe still rejected them, the Turks needed to find a way to restore their wounded honor. The most natural means of doing so was for the Turks writ large to simply turn their backs on Europe and move toward their Muslim brethren.

Snouck's Commentary: The fact that Turkey is now becoming an ally of Iran makes it obviously impossible for Turkey to stay in NATO or to join the EU. However, the treasonous leadership of NATO and the EU will allow Turkey to stay in those supra-national organisations.

Geert Wilders is a Jew

Geert Wilders is part Jewish

According to Dr. Lizzy van Leeuwen Geert Wilders' grandmother on his mother's side is Johanna Meijer a Jewess. The maternal grandfather of Mr. Wilders married Johanna Meijer in Indonesia during the colonial era. Appearently the Meijer family was a well-know Dutch-Jewish family in Indonesia.

The article charges into the ridiculous when Dr. van Leeuwen also states that Mr. Wilders peroxides his hair in order to hide his non-white Indonesian ancestry. O, and Dr. van Leeuwen mentions that many Dutch people in the Dutch East Indies supported the Dutch Facist Movement (NSB). What the ....?

Anyway. Here is a picture of Wilders as an 18 year old on his Kibbutz in Israel. With his original hair colour.

Eliminating the outposts

Built and strengthen alliances, weaken the alliances of the opponent

Militant movements in the Third World build strategic alliances with Anti-Western groups within the West.

Examples are:

- the Viet Mihn which allied with tha Anti-War movement in the U.S. to weaken the support of the American population for U.S. involvement in the War between North- and South-Vietnam.

- the struggle between Zimbabwean and South African Black Nationalists against the Afrikaner and Rhodesian White Minorities ruling those societies resulted in boycotts, economic collapse, demoralisation and the consequential toppling of the White Minority Governments in Southern Africa.

A new alliance on an old front

And now the Muslim Middle East, particularly the militant Palestinian movement is working on creating an alliance with the treasonous Left in the West. Together they form a new Anti-Western Lobby. Part of the great Treason Lobby. A typical organisation representing this Treason Lobby is the BDS (Boycott, Disinvestment, Sanction) Movement.

The BDS is holding a congress in Geneva on 18 and 19 April. They are preparing the ground for the United Nations' Durban Review Conference, which is a successor to the 2001 Anti-Racism and Anti-Discrimination Conference in Durban, South Africa. This conference is also organised by the UN.

The Muslim world has a lot of clout against Israel in the UN, because the number of Islamic Countries, each of which can vote in the UN General Assembly.

The Israeli - US alliance

Israel has long counted on the veto power of the USin the UN councils. The US announced yesterday that it will not attend the Anti-Racism and Discrimination Conference.

If the alliance between the US and Israel is undermined, Israel will become isolated, unless it finds new alliances. A boycott and desinvestment of Israel may demoralise the Israeli population and elite to such an extend that they merge Israel with the Palestinian entity into one state. This would be the end of a State that sees itself as the Jewish State, the main representation of the Jews on the international, security and political level.

The planned Endgame for Israel

The goal of the BDS is to deligitimize Israel as a separate and therefore racist and discriminatory entity. Israel would lose the support of the US public. Both gentile and the intensely liberal US Jews. There are already Jewish groups organised that are against the existence of a separate Jewish state, in the US, Europe and Israel itself. The latter is perhaps the starkest example of a Treason Lobby that we have. It might weaken the support of the ethnically Jewish population of Israel for the Jewish State.

The Muslim community in Europe flexes its muscle

Recently the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) launched an offensive against Hamas in the Gaza strip, with massive firepower and an armoured ground assault. To retaliate against the bombardments of Israeli towns with rockets. And for electoral reasons, by projecting a tough image for the Leftist (Kadima) parties.

The hamfisted Israeli action led to demonstrations in Western cities. The usual Leftist demonstrators saw their ranks swelled by large numbers of Muslims living in European Urban areas. The protestors managed to get the London police on the run. This causes great pressure for European governments to sever their links with Israel.

A Backlash

On the other hand the demonstrations caused dissatisfaction amongst the ethnic European citizen of European nations with large Muslim immigrant communities. Westerners instinctively identify with other Westerners and ethnic Europeans feel less secure in their homelands than during the struggle for Southern Africa.

Dutch Right-wing populist Geert Wilders and Vlaams Belang politicians supported the Israelis. This move was supported by their electoral bases.

Today the news came out that the Dutch Foreign Minister, Mr. Maxime Verhagen, declared that The Netherlands would not attend the Geneva Anti-Racism and Discrimination Conference. He was quoted; "these countries were planning to use the summit to put religion above human rights and rein in freedom of speech". Mr. Verhagen is a Christian Democrat and his party needs to have a strong profile against Geert Wilders' Freedom Party (PVV). Freedom of Speech is a typical point where centrist parties such as the Christian Democrats are seen as weak by Dutch voters who are defecting from the Christian Democrats to the Freedom Party.

It is sure that Israel will remain a flash point for conflict in the struggle by Islam to dominate all societies in the world. Islam can not countenance that there is a formerly Muslim-ruled territory ruled by unsubmitting Infidels.

A Western Patriotic Alliance

But the Middle Eastern conflict has become linked to Europe through immigration and Muslim colonisation on Western land. A formal or informal alliance between certain European groups and Israel, could provide a counterweight to the Muslim-Leftist alliance.

Gaza: willpower and a simple rocket

No Peace in Israel

Since Israel was founded in 1948, 60 years ago it has been constantly at war. There have been furious wars, such as in 1973 or 1982. There have been truces. There have been lulls in the fighting. But there has not been peace. Not ever.

There has been war with the neighbouring countries such as Egypt and their armies. But the last neighbouring state, Syria, gave up in the eighties.

There has been war with the Palestinians, their guerilla armies and terror organisations such as Fatah and Hamas.

The IDF has 176,000 men and women as a permanent force. Hamas has 16,000.

Israeli Offensive

Right now the fighting has flared up again. The latest round takes place in the narrow Gaza strip in the South of Israel. It is on the Mediterranean. The Israelis are applying fire power with abandon. Ground forces have attacked and invaded the tiny Gaza strip.

The Israeli government is responding to Hamas ending the cease fire that existed. Hamas is the Palestinian entity that runs the strip. It is militarily stronger than Fatah which used to run the strip. And it has more legitimacy in the eyes of the Gazans due to its more uncompromising stance against Israel. Hamas does not recognize the state of Israel, has vowed never to recognize it and is more ready than Fatah to use violence against Israel.

Hamas used to use suicide bombers against Israelis before. Israel stopped this by building a wall around Gaza. It closed off all traffic in and out.

Hamas' war objective

Hamas has vowed to regain control of the borders. Will it succeed?

The simplest rocket, the Qassam

It has fired more than 10,000 garage built Qassam rockets against Israel. The rockets are extremely simple and require only the simplest tools to be built. In military terms the rockets are laughable but Hamas has managed to elicit a massive and very visible response from the Israeli Defense Force (IDF).

The goal of the IDF offensive is to "control the Qassam rocket launch sites". But the Qassem require hardly any infrastructure to be manufactured or fire. Watch this Hamas propaganda movie. It give a good idea of how simple the rockets are.

Because the Qassams are so simple and can be launched from almost everywhere the IDF can only succeed when they permanently destroy the entire Gaza strip. The IDF is going to do considerable damage. But it is not going to destroy all of Gaza.

After some time the IDF ground troops will be withdrawn. The bombing will stop, when Gaza and therefore the IDF run out of targets. Hamas will still be there. With Qassams. They will observe a truce. No peace. A truce.

The conclusion: Hamas will come out on top

Mrs. Caroline Glick says what will happen next. There will be negotiations. With a mediator. The EU. "The Europeans, the Egyptians and the Turks have all adopted Hamas's demand for control of its land and sea borders as a starting point. None have included any demands for Hamas to disarm, end its weapons trafficking or commit itself to a permanent ceasefire with Israel."

Israel has demanded a monitoring force on the Gaza border. It will get a monitoring force from the EU, similar to the EU monitoring force "securing" the Lebanese - Israeli border.

Diluting political and security responsibility

The EU will tie Israel's hands in any future confrontation with Hamas.

Which is probably exactly what the current Israeli government wants. They do not want to deal with Hamas. They want to share the responsibility for Israel's security with a partner. In order to dilute their responsibility.

This Israeli offensive is just a demonstration for the Israeli public, in order to get it to accept this deal. The Israelis will accept it. They are good liberals after all, like the rest of the West.

Roll over and surrender boys. But first the fire works.

The Prussian military theorist Carl von Clauswitz wrote that: total military power is the number of men, plus weapons multiplied by will power. Hamas has only a tenth of the manpower of the IDF and extremely simple and cheap weapons. But it achieves its goals by its superior will power.

Dutch MP calls for violence against Israel

Dutch MP Harry van Bommel called for an Intifadah against Israel during a demonstration on 3 januari in Amsterdam. Shouting "Intifadah, intifadah, Palestine Free" he marched with Anti-Israel activist Gretta Duisenburg.

Behind him protesters are calling for "Hamas, Hamas, Jews to be gassed". This rhymes in Dutch and is therefore considered cute by some.

MP Van Bommel is a member of the Socialist Party (SP). The SP is a growing party popular amongst marginalized and more recently also media elite Dutch. MP Van Bommel is second or third most influential within the SP. He has very good contacts with the Dutch media, especially newspapers. MP Van Bommel is well known for his anti-western point of view regarding Middle Eastern politics.

He lives in the Amsterdam neighbourhood where Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh was shot by a Dutch Muslim, for making a Muslim critical film.

France talking to Hamas

France is holding low level talks with the new democratically elected Hamas government in Gaza (Hat Tip, Herr Winn).

It looks like most governments in the world will soon recognize the Hamas government. This will include the EU. I will bet the EU subsidies that keep the Palestinian government afloat will continue as well.

That makes paying taxes so much fun. Our politicians really know were to send our money. Much better than we do. Good thing too that the Palestinians will really respect us for it. And support us in the fight against radical Islam in The Netherlands.

Loveleyyyy!!!

The new Communists

A good piece by Paul Craig Roberts about the ongoing campaign of the Bush government and their propaganda machine to create havoc in the Middle East by threatening to invade Iran, while growing increasingly authoritarian at home as evidence by the Patriot Act and the war propaganda on TV. The US Forces have great difficulty to defeat the insurgency by the 5 million Sunni Muslim minority already. Why invade Iran with its 70 million inhabitants, 35 million of which are Persians and another 20 million are Azerbaidjanis with good relations with the Persian ethnics, so finding local allies will not be so easy.

The stated intention of Iran to acquire Nuclear weapons is used as a motive. However, Israeli Professor of Military history Martin van Creveld already foresaw in 2003 that invading Afghanistan and Iraq would cause the whole region, Syria, Turkey and even Greece to develop nuclear weapons, if not in defense against the USA, than in defense against its nuclear armed neighbours. That is because Nuclear weapons are the perfect deterrent against the US Armed forces. So the predicament that Bush finds himself in, an Iran working on its own Nuclear weapons, is caused by the VERY strategy of invasion that the US has been using so far.

There is no indication that the Sunni insurgency or Al-Queda in Iraq is being overcome by the US Army. The US Army is fighting the wrong kind of enemy in the wrong kind of battlefield. The enemy is a weak, lightly armed invisible force with good intelligence and reasonable or good understanding of local culture and the battle field is a cluttered, dirty city scape that defies the use of observation enhancing instruments, such as radar, infrared, night sights that is the strength of an army armed by a modern light industry production base.

Finally there is really little hope for victory even if the US had the right kind of military force and was fighting on a battle field more suited to the type of warfare that is its strong suit. A military victory has to be followed by political and social acceptance of the dominance of the victor. Because the West and the world of Islam are Ancient enemies a Western victory will never be seen as letigimate by a local population. In fact the only populations that will see US dominance as legitimate are the Middle Eastern Christians.

Snouck is not some peacenik pinko, I consider myself to the right of such light-weight, hippy jokers as Attila the Hun, Djengis Khan and Mohammed al Rasul, those women. But to create a new enemy and to fight them in a similarly unsuited battlefield for a goal that is impossible to attain is not a good idea. My prediction is that if the Bush Administration continues with its intention to make Iran comply to its will by using military force. A hand will appear out of nothing and in the Senate the writing will be on the wall:

MENE MENE TEKEL UFARSIN - Bush's Kingdom will be parcelled up and divided.

Anti Quassam Missiles

Hamas, the Gaza Palestinian Jihadist force is firing Quassem missiles at Israel. The Mujaheed fired 4 missiles from the Gaza strip at a village and at the city of Asqelon on the Mediterrenanean Sea.

The Palestinians make the missiles themselves in little workshops in Gaza. They fire them from the yard of some poor Palestinian soul with few sons and connections at urban areas in Israel.

The Israeli's can fire back with artillery. But they will never hit the perpetrators, because they are long gone. The launch tubes use timers anyway, so even if you hit them 3 seconds after they were fired it is still too late. If the Israelis hit Palestinians civilians with artillery in revenge bombardment in order to make the terrorists unpopular with Gaza Palestinians the wounded and killed will be on European and USA television, which will be terrible for Israeli image abroad and increase hate for the Jews amongst Western Leftists and Muslims in the West.

Israel can do nothing. Then the population will get angrier with every attack and elect more and more badass Governments.

Israel can use pin point attacks against Hamas forces. They can try to find out who are important militants in Hamas organisation and kill them. This is much better. If it gets on Western TV nobody care about these terrorists and many will be happy that they were killed.

Israel can hit PLO-Palestinian Authority officials for allowing the attacks to continue. This can be a good idea. I am sure that the PLO people know who the Hamas people are so they are collaborators with anti-Israeli terrorism. And everybody hates the PLO types anyway these days apart from the idiots in the EU but they even want to continue the process to make Turkey an EU member, despite 60 percent dissaproval from European population.

The worst idea: Israel can make its own Quassem missiles and fire them at Gaza in retaliation. One of Sharon's Kedima buddies proposed this idea. Of course Israel can make such stupid missiles if they try. Is he crazy? What does he think? That Israel and the world sets the same standards for Israel as for the Palestinians?

Maybe they should just do it for once on Aprilfoolsday, by the way of joke. Just to make propaganda. Fire missiles at Gaza. Film it and give the film to the news agencies and say "Hell, we do not know where these missiles are going to land. Is that important?"

It would definately make a point. They could even load the missiles with wooden warheads, just to pull everyone's leg. I think they should do it. These days propaganda is more important that military strength.

(Im)morality of Western Leftists disconnects them from the world

From Arutz Shewa, two days ago:

Arab leaders in Hevron have contacted the city’s Jewish leaders for help in getting rid of self-proclaimed anarchist volunteers who, they complain, are destroying their traditional way of life.

European and American Leftists are flocking to Israel to support Palestinians in their resistance against the Israeli forces that occupy the land of Palestine. Protected by their legal status they hinder the Israeli Army and Police in their work at checkpoints and other contact points between the armed forces of the Israelis and the Palestinian population. However, the lack of traditional morals hinders the Leftists to make real contact with the mainstream of Christian and Muslim Palestinian culture:

Several local Arab residents told the Kol Ha’Ir newspaper that the activists have been exposing the local youths to drug use and sexual promiscuity. One interviewee told Kol Ha’Ir that the volunteers show a disregard for the religious norms of the local villages and teach the local youth to reject and disrespect the traditions of their forefathers. "These anarchists come here and undermine the education we give our children.

and:

But very quickly they infuriated me with their lewd behavior.

This clearly shows the disconnect from Third World reality of a significant portion of the public in Western societies. Usually these people see themselves as friends and allies of Third World populations. Not just of Muslims but all poor people in Africa, South America, the Middle East and Asia. Yet when these people visit these societies they are hopelessy out of touch with the core believes and attitudes of Third Worlders. Third Worlders usually highly conservative socially, mindlessy patriotic about their nations and unbashfully zealotic about their religions.

Thus Western Conservatives usually have a quicker understanding of what e.g. Muslims say, think and believe than Western progressives. Because the underlying conceptions of societies and the world are more congruent or isomorph.

As a result the approach of the Left towards the threat of Third World immigration and Islamic terrorism is fundamentally flawed. They do not understand that Muslims really believe in Islam and want to take over the world. By peaceful means if possible, yes. But if this goes slowly their zealots will show their true colors.

And yet Leftists cling to their outdated ideas. And still believe that in the future people will live at peace with each other in a world of plenty. The world will continue to prove them wrong.

The Leftist worldview is embraced by a generation that inherited a world of effortless Western dominance. As the international position of the USA is detoriating economically and militarily and mass immigration is undermining Western populations internally the chasm between the Leftist worldview and reality becomes increasingly obvious.

As a result the public in Western nations are becoming ideologically adrift. Many people are starting to question Leftist dogma about equality between cultures and ethnic groups, utopian Multiculturalism and so forth. A paradigma shift is waiting to happen especially in Europe were the Left is so strong. But because of absolute Leftist Media cartel true Conservative voices are often not heard or they are misrepresented. This is were the internet comes into play.

The internet gives right wingers a platform to work out a world view that is congruent with reality, that makes sense and to present this world view to those who seek truth. The internet is the tool that the Right, the true Right can use to win back the public and hold out a roadmap to Western survival.

And the Western protesters in Israel? What happened to them?

In a bid to rid the region of the anarchists, local Arab leaders approached representatives of the Jewish community in Hevron – a rare, but not unheard of occurrence – in order to find a solution. ..... The left-wing activists would then be informed by the local Arab population that they appreciate their offer to help, but that they are no longer needed.

Basically warring Jews and Arabs teamed up and the decadents were told to leave. And to not come back.
