Ashkenazi Jews Smartest on Earth, Partly Due to Diseases


While an imperfect scientific study -see all the rants and comments at the end, I believe the study is probably representative of most of the Jewish world population and should have included similar samples from the non Ashkenazi population: which it didn't. The report begins like this:

"Ashkenazi Jews are the most intelligent ethnic group in the world, in large part due to their propensity for deadly genetic diseases, according to a pair of American professors" who are not Jewish themselves.

"According to a classified intelligence assessment handed to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, U.S. President Barack Obama and his senior advisors wish to '“incrementally diminish U.S. strategic cooperation with Israel.'

A report in World Tribune quoted an Israeli source familiar with the intelligence assessment who said that "'Obama wants to make friends with our worst enemies and ....Under this policy,'” the source added, “'we are more than irrelevant. We have become an obstacle.'”

With ‘friends’ like these, who needs enemies?

From the British Jewish Chronicle, of 17 April 2009, Melanie Phillips looks at what she sees as a dangerous new trend in Washington passing itself off as the new think Vi's-a-vis the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

She starts off by zeroing in on "Chas W Freeman, the short-lived chairman-designate of the US National Intelligence Council," who was " forced to resign recently after protests over his lobbying activities for Saudi Arabia and China and his extreme antipathy to Israel", which she indicates is not merely seen by his willingness "to pin the blame on that all-purpose scapegoat, ‘the Jewish lobby’, or ... its modern version, ‘the Israel lobby’. He came up with another variation on the theme.

"He said his opponents ’should probably be called the Likud lobby."

I personally believe there are few within the tribe who are aware of how this Chas Freeman is helping to sabotage American Israeli relations, but also how President Obama has embraced this man's "new think" regarding the matter.

PM Denies He Said PA Must Accept Israel as a Jewish State


Is Netanyahu already showing the same weak spine that he had during his first term
as Prime Minister? Has he folded under as Obama showed disapproval? Listen to this: "Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu denies that he ever demanded that the Palestinian Authority accept Israel as a Jewish State before he agrees to launch negotiations with it."

Hizbullah's #2: We Have One Leadership

"Several countries, recently joined by Britain, distinguish the “political wing” of Hizbullah from the group's “military wing,” which has been responsible for thousands of terrorist attacks on Israel

"Hizbullah's second most powerful leader, Naim Qassem, recently told western journalists why those countries are wrong," Read why they are wrong

The Obama Rosetta Stone

According to Pres. B. H. Obamam, "While middle-class families have been playing by the rules, living up to their responsibilities as neighbors and citizens, those at the commanding heights of our economy have not."

"Prudent investments in education, clean energy, health care and infrastructure were sacrificed for huge tax cuts for the wealthy and well-connected."

"There's nothing wrong with making money, but there is something wrong when we allow the playing field to be tilted so far in the favor of so few. . . . It's a legacy of irresponsibility, and it is our duty to change it."

The "top 1%" isn't just going to pay for these policies. Many of them would assent to that. The rancorous language used to describe these taxpayers makes it clear that as a matter of public policy they will be made to "pay for" the fact of their wealth -- no matter"

This is not a long report, but it's very much to the point. If you have been one of the hundreds of millions who have supported/agreed with the notion that the Earth is warming, you must due two things. Read the article, and step on outside into the fresh air. Read the report HERE.

Iraqi Author 'Aref 'Alwan: The Jews Have an Historic Right to Palestine

"In an article posted December 7, 2007, on the leftist website www.ahewar.org, [1] 'Aref 'Alwan, an Iraqi author and playwright who resides in London and is the author of 12 novels, [2] states that the Jews have an historic right to Palestine because......."

Then he goes on to say that "the Arabs have no hope of extricating themselves from the cultural and political challenge of terrorism (that they created) unless they come up with [new] and different [fundamental] premises, and with an outlook completely free of the fetters of the religious ritual that they have devised in modern times and called the Nakba (the 1948 'Disaster'/declaration of the state of Israel).

"Although Palestinian senior officials, leaders, educated circles, and public figures, whose patriotism is beyond doubt, have come to terms with the existence of the State of Israel, the aforementioned 80% of Arabs... do not accept this view, and consider it religious apostasy. Leaders of the [Arab] states in the region, and party leaders, inflame sentiment, entrancing them with the drumbeat of extremism.

"With the strident chorus of its secretaries, the Arab League ensures that every car crash in Gaza or the West Bank is interpreted as an Israeli conspiracy against the Arab future......instead of devising creative strategies for cultural and economic development, so as to improve the deteriorating standard of living in the Arab societies."
