Zionists Capture Michele Bachmann's Brain, Take it Out for a Test Drive

At a Republican Jewish Coalition event in Los Angeles last week, Rep. Michele Bachmann offered a candid view of her positions on Israel: Support for Israel is handed down by God and if the United States pulls back its support, America will cease to exist.

The Republican Jewish Coalition is the same organization that recently hired former Sen. Norm Coleman. Bachmann’s appearance on Feb.1 is part of a whirlwind of national events for Bachmann in February. Next up: she’s keynoting the Take Back Washington North Dakota event in Bismarck this Friday night.

Man Burns Down Tattoo Parlor After They Refuse to Give Him a Threatening Obama Tattoo

A Pacific Grove man is facing several years in prison after authorities say he threw a Molotov cocktail at a tattoo parlor after employees refused to draw on his chest an offensive image of President Barack Obama.

Monterey County prosecutors say Nathan Augustine of Pacific Grove pleaded no contest to arson Wednesday in connection with the July incident at Creative Visions tattoo parlor in Monterey.

Deputy District Attorney Douglas Matheson says the 36-year-old Augustine also pleaded no contest to a similar incident days later at a restaurant.

After being turned down by employees at the parlor for a tattoo of a swastika and an image of Obama overlaid with crosshairs, Matheson says Augustine later returned and threw the device.

Matheson says Augustine will be sentenced to seven years in prison for both attacks. Sentencing is scheduled for March 12.

Doofus of the Day: Man hurt after homemade rocket explodes during party stunt

A 62-year-old Michigan man was severely burned when a homemade rocket strapped on his back exploded while he slid down a snowy hill on a sled, authorities said this week.

The rocket stunt was the grand finale on Saturday during the man's annual sledding party at his Oakland County, Michigan, home, the sheriff's department said.

"He is known for doing 'crazy things' at his parties," an Oakland County sheriff's department statement said. "On this date, after consuming an unknown quantity of alcohol, he constructed a device out of a motorcycle muffler and pipe."

Inside the makeshift rocket, the victim placed gunpowder, heads from matches and gasoline. He donned a helmet and took a sled to the top of a snowy embankment.

"He asked another person to light a wick and then began to sled down a hill. At some point during the ride downhill, the device exploded. The results of the explosion were second-degree burns to the victim's face," the sheriff's department statement said.

No one else was injured during the incident.

Doofus of the Day: Airline Passenger Screams "I Want to Kill Jews!"

MIAMI - An airline passenger in Miami proclaimed ``I want to kill all the Jews'' before police forced him off a Detroit-bound plane, authorities said Thursday.

Mansor Mohammad Asad, 43, of Toledo, Ohio, was arrested Wednesday night, according to a Miami-Dade Police Department statement. Asad was charged with threats against a public servant, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer without violence.

FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said there were no indications the disturbance was related to terrorism. The bureau was initially brought in to look into the incident but is no longer involved in the investigation. She said the FBI is treating the disruption as a matter for local authorities.

The disturbance forced a taxiing Northwest Airlines flight to turn around at Miami International Airport, according to a news release. Witnesses told investigators who boarded the plane that Asad was loud, disruptive and claimed to be Palestinian.

Doofus of the Day: Udi Aloni, Jealous of Neturei Karta's Media Success

I find it appropriate that the Israeli public be notified of the emerging movement for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel  (BDS), which has been growing at a breathtaking pace.

Following bewildered reports published by Yedioth Ahronoth journalist Sever Plocker, who noticed that BDS has moved from the circles of the radical western Left to the circles of the bourgeois centre, I can add that this is now true for Israel-loving Jews as well.

Obviously, this shift is taking place against the backdrop of Israel’s war on Gaza, waged one year ago, the publication of the Goldstone Report, and the local strain of apartheid policy nurtured by Israel, which differs from the old South African one in some aspects.

This policy has local makings and signature. It is not only an Israeli High Court of Justice ruling to evacuate Palestinian living in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah from their homes, applying a “right of return for Jews only” rule, while Palestinians, on the other hand, are being denied this right.

It should be noted that Udi Aloni is the son of Shulamit Aloni, Israel's oldest and ugliest Stalin groupie.

Our suggestion for Udi, if he wants more attention from his Jew-hating friends, he should grow payes, put on white socks and a Shtreimel and spend Shabbos in Gaza with Neturei Karta.

Doofus of the Day: Garrison Keillor Hates Jews Who Write Christmas Songs

Mr. Garrison (Keillor) Merry F***ing Christmas

I've just come from Cambridge, that beehive of brilliance, where nerds don't feel self-conscious: There's always someone nerdier nearby. If you are the World's Leading Authority on the mating habits of the jabberwock beetle of the Lesser Jujube Archipelago, you can take comfort in knowing that the pinch-faced drone next to you at Starbucks may be the W.L.A. on 17th-century Huguenot hymnody or a niche of quantum physics that is understood by nobody but himself.

People in Cambridge learn to be wary of brilliance, having seen geniuses in the throes of deep thought step into potholes and disappear. Such as the brilliant economist Lawrence Summers, whose presidency brought Harvard to the verge of disaster. He, against the advice of his lessers, invested Harvard's operating funds in the stock market and lost the bet. In the cold light of day, this was dumber than dirt, like putting the kids' lunch money on Valiant's Fancy to win in the 5th. And now the genius is in the White House, two short flights of stairs above the Oval Office. This does not make Cantabrigians feel better about our nation's economic future.

You can blame Ralph Waldo Emerson for the brazen foolishness of the elite. He preached here at the First Church of Cambridge, a Unitarian outfit (where I discovered that "Silent Night" has been cleverly rewritten to make it more about silence and night and not so much about God), and Emerson tossed off little bon mots that have been leading people astray ever since. "To be great is to be misunderstood," for example. This tiny gem of self-pity has given license to a million arrogant and unlovable people to imagine that their unpopularity somehow was proof of their greatness.

And all his hoo-ha about listening to the voice within and don't follow the path, make your own path and leave a trail and so forth, encouraged people who might've been excellent janitors to become bold and innovative economists who run a wealthy university into the ditch.

Unitarians listen to the Inner Voice and so they have no creed that they all stand up and recite in unison, and that's their perfect right, but it is wrong, wrong, wrong to rewrite "Silent Night." If you don't believe Jesus was God, OK, go write your own damn "Silent Night" and leave ours alone. This is spiritual piracy and cultural elitism, and we Christians have stood for it long enough. And all those lousy holiday songs by Jewish guys that trash up the malls every year, Rudolph and the chestnuts and the rest of that dreck. Did one of our guys write "Grab your loafers, come along if you wanna, and we'll blow that shofar for Rosh Hashanah"? No, we didn't.

Christmas is a Christian holiday - if you're not in the club, then buzz off. Celebrate Yule instead or dance around in druid robes for the solstice. Go light a big log, go wassailing and falalaing until you fall down, eat figgy pudding until you puke, but don't mess with the Messiah.

Personally I hate "Jingle Bells" sung "scat style," which is enough to send me screaming out of any store that plays it over the music speakers.

Doofus of the Day: Zionists Shot My Laptop! (Don't Leave Luggage Unattended)

Zionists shot this laptop

American student trying to cross from Egypt to Israel loses laptop to security check. 'Was it my peeling Arabic stickers on the keyboard?" she wonders

What possessed Taba Border Crossing security personnel to shoot an American student's laptop? Lily Sussman, an American student living in Egypt arrived at the Taba Border Crossing in late November and asked to cross into Israel. To her amazement, the security officers stationed at the crossing determined her laptop a threat to be neutralized.

In a blog post titled "I’m sorry but we blew up your laptop (welcome to Israel)," she details the unnerving experience, which left three bullet holes in her laptop:

"I was sitting on the deck overlooking the Red Sea. Israeli security officers (most who looked around 18 years old) had completed around two hours of questioning and searching me. They asked me tons of questions… and quizzed me on Judaism, which I know nothing about.

"Then they asked me to wait," she writes. "Since they had asked for friends and families phone numbers I assumed they might be calling to verify my answers to questions or confirm I really had extended family in Tel Aviv. An announcement played over the sound system, interrupting my break in the sunshine. First in Hebrew, then Arabic, then in English. It was something along the lines of, 'do not to be alarmed by gunshots because the Israeli security needs to blow up suspicious passenger's luggage.”

"I went inside to check on my bag. I had left it unattended, where they instructed. It was still there so I went back outside. [Breathtaking stupidity-VB]

The laptop, added Sussman, contained all of her work, pictures and music files – "Years of work"; adding that in no stage of the event did any of the security officers ask her to access the computer or give them the passwords.

"Was it my peeling Arabic stickers on the keyboard? Or something else during the questioning which set them off?" she wondered.

Doofus of the Day: Sandusky City Manager Sacked For Lame, Recycled Racist Remarks

 

 City commissioners on Wednesday placed Sandusky city manager Matt Kline on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation by the city law director.

Kline was escorted from city hall at about 10 a.m. by a Sandusky police officer and at least two city commissioners who took his keys to the building, commissioner Dan Kaman said.

Kline has been placed on leave for "conduct unbecoming a public official," said Don Icsman, the city's law director.

Commissioners called an emergency meeting at 6 p.m. and went immediately to executive session to discuss pending litigation. Returning to open session, they voted unanimously to place Kline on leave until Icsman completes an investigation.

Triggering the action was a Nov. 12 letter from the Marina District developer's attorney addressed to the city's law firm.

Timothy Miller is representing John Eymann, the developer fighting to reclaim a $100,000 deposit he made with the city in connection to the failed development of the Marina District.

The letter demands the city return Eymann's "good faith deposit," lest Eymann drag the issue into court.

The $100,000 deposit has been the focus of much contention in recent months. City commissioners and Icsman have not decided whether they'll return the money to Eymann or keep it to offset the city's planning and legal fees associated with the project.

Miller's letter also contains a two-page transcript from a recording of an Oct. 20 phone conversation that allegedly occurred between Eymann, Kline and Scott Schell, Sandusky's economic development specialist.

Throughout the conversation, Schell and Kline repeatedly say there was always an understanding that the money would be returned to Eymann.

"John ... we do not want to hold onto your money," Schell says. "But it's just like we need to figure out how to get it back to you."

Kline adds that city commissioners would have to approve a motion that would let the contract expire, though the motion would also have to include "giving back or returning the $100,000."

Schell and Kline then talk about the logistics of the proposed ordinance, and discuss changing the agreement to reflect the "good faith deposit."

When Schell says there were "other things we were trying to tie up," Kline delivers a bombshell.

"Ya ... like having to hire so many crippled black Jewish people," Kline says, according to the transcript.

Schell laughs.

Doofus of the Day: Tel Aviv University Professor Spews Anti-Semitic Propaganda

An Israeli academic has been accused of contributing to anti-Semitic discourse and incidents following his book tour in London promoting the thesis that Jews never existed as a people and the Palestinian Arabs are the true heirs of the biblical Jews.

Shlomo Sand, a professor of history at Tel Aviv University, spoke at a number of events in London last week to sell his book The Invention of the Jewish People, in which he writes that the Israelites were never exiled from the Promised Land and therefore have no right to return.

Jewish community figures questioned Sand's work and noted that no opposing view or contextualization was offered at his events.

"Sand's agenda is to sever the historic link between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel," said Jonathan Hoffman, co-chairman of the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. "To promote that agenda his book ignores archeological and genetic evidence. At none of his three London appearances was there a historian or Jewish history expert on the platform to counter his distortions, evasions and sensationalism. The result will contribute to anti-Semitic discourse and incidents in the UK, already at a record level."

A guest on BBC Radio Four last week, Sand told presenter Andrew Marr that he compares Israel's birth to "rape"

"I'm not a Zionist. I don't define myself as an anti-Zionist... but I'm not a Zionist... I don't put into question the existence of Israel," he said. "I compare when I am speaking before Arab students the birth of the Israeli state to an act of rape. But even the son that was born of the act of rape... you have to recognize him... the existence of Israel I don't put in question today, you understand me?"

Of course Sand's historical kitty litter will be prominently featured on academic websites such as Stormfront, Judicial-Inc, Michael A. Hoffman and their comrades in arms.
 

Doofus of the Day: Palestinian Suffocates Inside Plastic Bag; Blame the Juice

EYAL CROSSING, ISRAEL - NOVEMBER 3: A Palestinian man keeps dry inside a plastic bag as rain falls on West Bank labourers looking for work in the Jewish State, on November 3, 2009 at the Eyal crossing in central Israel. Stormy weather has brought much-needed rain to the Holy Land which has been suffering from years of below normal precipitation leaving the Sea of Galilee and underground aquifers at dangerously low levels. Getty Images.

Palestinian workers: We're being treated like cattle

Thousands of laborers waiting to cross into Israel via Eyal checkpoint, near Qalqilya, have to do so while exposed to harsh cold

The 4,500 Palestinian workers who travel through the Eyal checkpoint, near West Bank city of Qalqilya, on their way to work in Israel, are finding it hard to enjoy the long-awaited winter.

The checkpoint provides cover for those waiting to cross it, but its little shed can shelter about 100 people at the most, leaving the rest exposed to rain and cold winds.

"I usually like the winter, but why do we have to stand here like this?" wondered Majid Nazal, a construction worker who crosses the checkpoint daily.

According to Nazal, Sundays and Thursday pose the biggest challenge, as about 5,000 people crowd the checkpoint starting at 4 am.

"We stand there in the rain like cattle… what are they waiting for – someone to die from the cold?"

Mahmoud Diab Jabbar, head of the Qalqilya workers' association, told Ynet that he approached Israeli authorities several times about installing additional sheds near the checkpoint.

"They keep telling me that it's being taken care of, that a construction tender was issued, but nothing is being done.

"I told them that we would build it ourselves, but they won't allow it," he said. "This is the closest checkpoint to central Israel and the workers have no choice but to stand in the rain for hours.

"The place doesn’t even have a lavatory. There's nowhere to sit down. We are being abused."

More whining and moaning at WhineNet.

They can all look for work in Jordan, or just stay home and let the UNRWA take care of them.

Doofus of the Day: "Peace Now" Pro-Terror Shill Banned from Knesset

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- The director of Peace Now in Israel has been barred from entering the Knesset.

Yariv Oppenheimer on Monday was barred until further notice by Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin after sending three members of his left-wing organization to enter the parliament building posing as students working on a project in order to interview right-wing lawmakers, according to Ha'aretz.

Oppenheimer and Rivlin are set to meet Thursday to discuss the ban.

The three Peace Now activists were arrested Sunday during an interview with National Union lawmaker Michael Ben-Ari. The organization told Ha'aretz it planned to make a film in the style of the Sacha Baron Cohen movie "Borat," capturing the lawmakers on film making embarrassing remarks and exposing their rightist views.

The previous week the exposed activists had entered the Knesset to interview Danny Danon of the Likud Party and Faina Kirschenbaum of the Yisrael Beiteinu party.

Danon announced plans Monday to introduce legislation that would criminalize the political activities of Peace Now and other organizations that accept funds from foreign governments. Danon has previously called for Peace Now to be stripped of its nonprofit status over its failure to publicize its foreign funding sources.

Doofus of the Day: Wannabee Hijacker Threatens Flight Crew With Plastic Knife From Airline Meal

CAIRO – Security guards thwarted an attempted hijacking Wednesday on an EgyptAir flight from Istanbul to Cairo by overpowering a man who threatened crew members with a knife, a security official for the airline said.

A Sudanese man used a plastic knife from the in-flight meal to threaten flight attendants after the plane left Turkish airspace and demanded that the flight be diverted to Jerusalem, the official said. Guards on the flight were able to detain the man and no one was hurt, he said.

The flight landed safely at Cairo airport. The man was arrested and was being questioned by state security, the official said.

The Boeing aircraft was carrying 87 passengers, a Cairo police official said. He identified the suspect as Mohammed Hamad Nourain, 26, and said he used a passport with a phony name to board the flight.

The man told flight attendants he wanted to "liberate Jerusalem," the police official said.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to provide the information to journalists.

Not to mention the fact that Jerusalem has no airport. Maybe he wanted them to land the plane at Al Aqsa mosque?
 

Doofus of the Day: Holocaust Denier Who Attacked Elie Wiesel, Sues Auschwitz Survivor

 

A notorious Holocaust denier, convicted of attacking Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel in an elevator, has now set his sights on an 80-year-old Pembroke Pines woman whose memoir recounts her ordeal in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.

In a lawsuit filed in Broward Circuit Court, Eric Hunt alleges that the "The Fifth Diamond: The Story of Irene Weisberg Zisblatt" is full of "vicious lies" and "fantastical tales" that turn Jews into haters and torment non-Jews.

Zisblatt's son-in-law, who is a lawyer, called Hunt's lawsuit "absurd," but expressed concern for his elderly relative's safety.

"This lunatic has assaulted a survivor in the past," Stuart Mermelstein of Miami said, "and is posing a danger to my mother-in-law simply for speaking out and writing a book."

Zisblatt's autobiography recounts how she, five siblings and their parents were packed into a boxcar for the trip from Hungary to the extermination camp.

Her mother gave Zisblatt, 13, four diamonds. (In her book's title, Zisblatt herself is the fifth diamond). To keep the gems safe, Zisblatt relates, she repeatedlty swallowed them during her time in captivity.

Zisblatt, who appeared in director Steven Spielberg's 1999 Academy-Award winning documentary "The Last Days," was the only member of her family to survive World War II. The precious stones she hid are still in her family.

Hunt, 25, of Archbald, Pa. filed the libel suit in Broward Circuit Court on Oct. 6 and is demanding a jury trial and punitive damages of "not less than $60 million."

The case has been assigned to Circuit Judge Peter Weinstein.

"In terms of the hatred spewed in this complaint, it clearly has no legal or factual bearing whatsoever," Mermelstein said. "It's a ridiculous pleading and our concern is really directed not to the complaint, but to the motives and intent of Eric Hunt."

Also named as defendants in the suit are Spielberg; Zisblatt's co-author, Gail Ann Webb; Authors & Artists Publishers Inc. of New York; and its CEO Joan Mayor.

"Zisblatt blatantly stole other Jewish people's experiences during World War II and passed them off as her own in order to further the Jewish political agenda and profit off of these fantastical tales," Hunt, who is representing himself without an attorney, wrote in his lawsuit. "The defendants must not go unpunished for tormenting Gentiles and instilling hatred in Jews using such hideous lies."

In 2007, Hunt accosted Holocaust survivor and scholar Wiesel, 81, in a San Francisco hotel elevator in an alleged attempt to force Wiesel to recant his own recollections of the Holocaust.

Tiernan crosses line with Holocaust rant

Irish comedian Tommy Tiernan is no stranger to controversy but his comments about Jews in front of a clapping and laughing audience at the recent Electric Picnic festival crossed a new line and are sure to provoke outrage in Ireland's Jewish community.

The 40-year-old prefaced his outburst by saying that what happened on a comedy stage was "about allowing whatever lunacy is inside you to come out in a special protected environment where people know that nothing they say is being taking seriously".

He then continued: "But these Jews, these f**king Jew c**ts come up to me. F**king Christ-killing bastards. F**king six million? I would have got 10 or 12 million out of that. No f**king problem! F**k them. Two at a time, they would have gone. Hold hands, get in there. Leave us your teeth and your glasses."

Tiernan made the comments at the Electric Picnic music festival on Saturday 5 September while taking part in a question-and-answer session in the Hot Press chatroom.

Following an interview with Hot Press writer Olaf Tyar­ansen, a member of the audience asked Tiernan if he had ever been accused of being anti-Semitic?

"Going by your Nazi joke and your odd Israeli joke, have you ever been accused of being anti-Semitic?" asked the audience member.

Tiernan replied: "Have I ever been accused of being anti-Semitic? I certainly have, yeah. In America, these two people waited for me after a show. I used to do this joke about… the Jews say they never killed Jesus, and the joke was, I would say the line, 'Well, it wasn't the f**king Mexicans,' was the joke, like. Yeah, Jewish people came up to me afterwards..."

Doofus of the Day: "Israel Should Beg Forgiveness From Arabs Before Yom Kippur"

Minister Braverman: Seek Arabs' forgiveness

Government should ask Arabs for forgiveness ahead of Yom Kippur, minister for minority affairs says

Minister for Minority Affairs Avishay Braverman urged the government Saturday to "ask for the forgiveness of Israel's Arabs" ahead of Yom Kippur.
 
"The State of Israel needs to considerably ameliorate its attitude to the Arab population in general, and the Bedouin community in particular," the minister said at a meeting of Bedouin local council heads in the south.

Before the session, Minister Braverman toured several Bedouin communities in the Negev desert and heard the problems faced by local residents. In one case, residents complained that despite living in a community officially recognized by Israel, they do not have access to water, sewage, and electricity infrastructure.

"We must make progress this year in respect to addressing the Bedouin population," Braverman said. "If we want law and order, we also need to do something…they suffer from unemployment, educational problems, and a lack of water and electricity."

Doofus of the Day: Rabbit Bait Repeats the Same Old "Israel Must Surrender, or Die"

Carter says Israel must stop building settlements

After receiving award for humanitarian efforts, former US president says settlement construction 'driven by determined minority of Israelis who desire to occupy, colonize east Jerusalem and West Bank'

Israel must stop building settlements in Palestinian territories if peace is ever to be achieved in the Middle East, former President Jimmy Carter said Monday night as he received an award at a Virginia university for his humanitarian efforts.

"As President Barack Obama has made clear, the key factor that prevents peace is the continuing building of Israeli settlements in Palestine, driven by a determined minority of Israelis who desire to occupy and colonize east Jerusalem and the West Bank," Carter said.

Carter, a Nobel Peace laureate, spoke to a crowd of 6,500 as he and former first lady Rosalynn Carter received an award from James Madison University's Mahatma Gandhi Center for Global Nonviolence.

Carter, 84, who helped bring peace between Egypt and Israel with the Camp David Accords when he was president in the late 1970s, has maintained a strong interest in the Middle East. He said he has visited the region three times within the past year.

'Importance of tolerance and compassion'

Carter said he's convinced that withdrawal of Israeli forces from Arab territories will dramatically reduce any threats to Israel. [Tell us how well that worked out in Gaza, Jimmy--VB]

"All 22 Arab countries have offered diplomatic recognition and full trade and commerce if Israel will withdraw from occupied territories," he said. [Babushka says: Bull Scheiß]

Doofus of the Day: Neo-Nazi Tazed After Threatening Hasidic Jew (and Charging Police Officers)

 
Lovely. Has he been spotted at any Town Hall meetings?

WAREHAM — A Rhode Island man who was seen taunting a Hasidic Jew with racial slurs later charged officers and was subsequently subdued with a stun gun and arrested Tuesday night, according to a report by the Wareham Police Department.

Michael Watkins, 37, of 726 Post Road in Warwick, R.I., was reported to be taunting the man at a Stop and Shop, and the responding officer observed the suspect's vehicle traveling west on Cranberry Highway, according to police. The report notes that the vehicle at first failed to stop, and Watkins, the passenger, was seen throwing a shotgun out the window.

The vehicle eventually stopped, and when the officer stepped out of his cruiser, Watkins charged police yelling and screaming, according to the report. After Watkins refused to come to the ground, he was subdued with a stun gun and brought into custody with the aid of other officers, police said. The shotgun that had been thrown out the window was later found to be loaded.

The driver, Emily R. Putney, 19, of 185 North Fitzwilliam Road, Royalston, was also arrested. Putney has been charged with failing to stop for a police officer, carrying a dangerous weapon, and possession of a large capacity firearm. Watkins has been charged with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, possessing a large capacity firearm, carrying a dangerous weapon, carrying a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition without a firearms identification card, a firearms violation with two prior violent crimes, and a violation of civil rights.

Both will be arraigned in Wareham District Court Wednesday morning.

Doofii of the Day: Liberal Rabbis "Fast For Gaza"

 
Starvation in Gaza.

Sixty-two rabbis from the liberal streams of American Judaism are participating in a monthly "Jewish Fast for Gaza" which, according to their manifesto (crafted by one of the project's coordinators, Rabbi Brant Rosen) "seeks to end the Jewish community's silence over Israel's collective punishment in Gaza that has resulted in a humanitarian crisis of overwhelming proportions.

Why the fast? In Leviticus we read: "Do not stand idly by when your neighbor's blood is being spilled" (19:16).

The other project coordinator, Rabbi Brian Walt, is pleased by the response in support of the Fast for Gaza, pretentiously named Ta'anit Tzedek. He writes: "It has been incredibly heartening to find so many rabbis willing to participate in this initiative. It takes a lot of courage. I hope that this is one small step in breaking the Jewish community's silence over what is happening in Gaza."

With all of Walt's pride, only a few of the 62 participants would be considered rabbis of national prominence, although Rosen has gained notoriety because of his visit to Iran (like his Neturei Karta compatriots), from where he wrote: "While I prefer not to weigh in on the rhetorical hairsplitting debate on [President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad's notorious 2005 threat to wipe Israel off the map, I'll only suggest that our attitudes and foreign policy must be based on real intelligence and understanding, and not fear-based, knee-jerk assumptions."

THAT ONLY 62 of approximately 3,000 liberal rabbis in the US joined Walt's and Rosen's cause does not warrant bragging rights. Quite the opposite; it indicates a colossal failure for what is clearly an anti-Israel act. Indeed, there are sound reasons for such an embarrassingly low participation, one of which is that in the explanation for the fast, there is barely a hint of support for Israel, although there is a token line condemning Hamas's rockets.

To indicate just how completely over the top these "Fast for Gaza" moonbats really are, this article was written by David Forman, whose own moonbat creds are impeccable. If even he thinks these "rabbis" are whackjobs, well, you can take his word for it.

Doofii of the Day: The "Shabbes!" Parking Lot Protestors

Babushka has lived in Jerusalem and spent many deeply spiritual Shabbatot in Mea Shearim, but these antics do nothing to enhance the sanctity of the holy day. Instead of swarming the parking lot area, Babushka suggest that the warriors for Holy Sabbath come with baskets of wine, schnapps, and kugel, and offer police and tourists a taste of Shabbos food, instead of shouting and throwing things at them.

That old adage about "catching more flies with honey" clearly applies here.
