Max Mosley, president of motorsports' governing body FIA, is under pressure after a British tabloid reported Sunday that he engaged in sex acts with prostitutes that involved Nazi role- playing.
Mosley, the son of British Union of Fascists founder Sir Oswald Mosley, is alleged to be seen on a video that shows him screaming orders in German and lashing girls wearing concentration camp uniforms.
The man on the video - allegedly Mosley - is also seen to be whipped by the prostitutes before engaging in sexual acts. He then drank a cup of tea with them.
it probably explains something about the infamous dad. Apples, trees and all this botany..
Spanking and fascist leanings - could be a fascinating subject. Not for me, though.
Which gives me an opportunity to ask my British friends a question they might want to answer: quite a while ago I have written a post titled "Time for some spanking, Bibi?". Since then, about 90% of the hits for this post come from UK. Any special reasons?
For some reason this is one of the popular stories today, while dated about two and a half years ago, so I am recycling an old post...
BBC reports on a case where a consumer overestimated his capacity:
An unusual clash between a 6-foot (1.8m) alligator and a 13-foot (3.9m) python has left two of the deadliest predators dead in Florida's swamps. The Burmese python tried to swallow its fearsome rival whole but then exploded.
When you go for a meal, it may serve you well to study your target. I am proud to tell that a similar encounter that I had in the past with a two-pound Porterhouse steak ended in my absolute victory.
To be fair, the Porterhouse did not try to claw his way out of my innards.
I was introduced (thank, Ami, but no thanks) to a new scientific smasher titled Black race not related to apes (don't you get shivers of expectation seeing an article starting with "Recently a research team..."? It appears that:
Recently a research team of psychologists from Stanford, Penn State, and UC Berkeley have reported that blacks are likely to be thought of by other races as being sub-human and associated with apes.
Oh boy... let alone the minor details like there is no such thing as a "black race", and Pravda is not exactly a place known for its scientific precision - who the heck is the author of the article? Presently it will become clear:
The author, Babu G. Ranganathan, is an experienced Christian writer. Mr. Ranganathan has his B.A. with academic concentrations in Bible and Biology from Bob Jones University. As a religion and science writer he has been recognized in the 24th edition of Marquis Who's Who In The East. The author's articles have been published in various publications including Russia's Pravda and South Korea's The Seoul Times.
Uhu... Now I can leave you alone to enjoy the rest of that remarkable jambalaya of stupidity, but not before sharing with you some random thoughts:
The taxonomy so beloved by some people should be changed. The only ape-related humans, their color notwithstanding, are politicians. Monkeys tend to gather around Hollywood and similar places. Parrots most probably produced religious clerics. I don't want to go into species that produced popular science writers of all creeds. Etc.
The California taxpayers should take a closer look at this can of worms they call UC Berkeley. Really, there is no knowing what kind of creatures produced some "researchers" there, I swear. Could be something not yet known to modern science.
Pravda... aw, what the heck, let's leave them alone.
I didn't know whether to laugh at the idea the wonders of nature are some random evolutionary accident, or cry at the failure of the human race to match even the minimum of harmony, peace and social cohesion accomplished by the penguin.
Penguins are definitely cool. As for a random evolutionary accident - this is definitely not one:
I couldn't even imagine the calculating, vicious and cruel state of mind he/she was in when designing this specific specimen of shitbrain. Sorry, of gobshite.
The document doesn't come from the Elders' archives, so we cannot vouch for its authenticity:
Click to enlarge (embiggen)
In the upper left corner - registration of outgoing document by KGB, in the right corner - registration of incoming document by the Central Committee of CPSU. Signature of KGB Chairman (Yuri Andropov) - in the lower right corner. Year - 1973.
Now the only thing left to me is translation of the text:
Scheme of the expected geological changes due to correction of the Earth' gravitation field by the device A-241/bis.
That scruffy bunch of assorted misfits that calls itself "Jewish anti-Zionists" could hardly be called homogeneous. A real treasure for a whole division of psychiatrists, I say. The Elders here, being of a short temper, have already paid their respect to this group. But we are not into the long words business anyhow. Call them anal lice and forget about them (till the next good laugh on their account).
Anthony Julius, however, is a completely different story. A really tough mensch, one that knows where the long words graze and has the infinite patience to unravel the endless nuances, mercilessly classifying and sorting out this unseemly gang.
So you can only profit by reading his two articles:

In this photo released by the U.S. Navy, Airman Jacob Larsen, holds 'Fod,' a screech owl discovered in the wheel well of an F/A 18 Hornet fighter on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, at sea in the Persian Gulf. The owl was examined for injuries and given a solution of sugar water for mild dehydration, then taken ashore aboard a delivery aircraft during a scheduled flight and released. FOD is a Navy acronym for 'Foreign Object Damage' and refers to objects or debris found on a flight line or carrier flight deck that can be sucked into an aircraft engine intake and cause damage.
Asks this guy. He hopes to get some money out of it, apparently. I looked at some images and, while I have been impressed, my answer remains the same: thank you, but no. Chill out with this instead:
It so happened that soon after finishing the Russian parents, beware post, I have received a link to a Russian-made movie made sometime in 2005. Seeing its first few frames, I was inclined to quit immediately. After all, the title of the movie is "Russia stabbed in the back" (precise translation is "Russia with a knife in the back"), its subtitle is "Jewish Fascism and the genocide of the Russian people".
But seeing the surprised reaction of some friends who considered the case described in "Russian parents, beware" to be an isolated outbreak of anti-Semitic plague, I have decided to give the movie my full attention. If only to show that the blood libel episode described in that post is only a symptom of a much more serious malady that continues to eat its way into the very heart of Russia, that great and unfortunate nation that for so many years cannot find its way to true democracy and true freedom.
The movie clearly shows that:
The blood libel case is only a single incident in a well-organized anti-Semitic campaign
The campaigners are numerous and occupy positions of power and influence in modern Russia
The worst and more revolting incidents in rich Russian tradition of anti-Semitic libel are alive and well, being tirelessly revived
It is with heavy heart that I come to this task. The introduction to the movie declares its purpose unequivocally:
To Russian people - now duped, occupied and robbed by a cruel and cynical gang of disparate anti-Russian bastards, that occupied corridors of power, the media, publishing houses and banks, ministerial cabinets and parliament chairs…This is a film about the devastating Jewish dominance in modern Russia. The film is about a Jewish fascism and purposeful genocide of Russian people, about diabolical satanic cult of Talmudic Judaism, its terrible inhumane faith.Our film is about a Russian hope for a quick escape from the yoke of hateful enemy. It's about the traitors of the Russian people and about Russian heroes. About selfish collaborators and about people devoted to the Russian spirit and the Russian national liberation movement.
So, the guns are being trained and the intentions are clear. Watch who is behind the guns, though...
Konstantin Dushenov, the main drive behind the production and its anchor, is a chief editor of a paper "Orthodox Russia". A quote from the man to establish his credentials:
Denigrators and haters of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ send us, the Russian people, their curse, not only from the synagogues of Tel Aviv and Haifa. No. Now many of them are sitting in the spacious government's and Duma's cabinets in the heart of Russia, Moscow. And until they sit there, we will all die slowly in the stench of captivity under kikes' brutal anti-Russian, anti-believer yoke.
The movie starts with a long tribute to Mitropolit (archbishop) Ioann of St. Petersburg and Ladoga, in whose honor the movie was made to start with.
Would you believe that this, seemingly nice and full of spirit face of a "kind shepherd of Russian souls" belongs to one of the worst anti-Semites of the second half of the XX century? You better believe it, at least after reading this and this. The man has certainly learned well the lessons of his Jew-hating predecessors:
A Russian repeats: the kikes ruined Russia. In those three words there is a tortured moan, and the heart-rending shriek, and gnashing of teeth...
"Жиды погубили Россию": or, phonetically, "Zhidi pogubili Rossiyu". Or, in plain English: "The kikes ruined Russia". This call, familiar for the last two hundreds years (at least) of Russian history, frequently uttered just before (or in the middle of) throwing up due to excessive intake of cheap vodka, is nothing new. Not always, though, it is related to sheer drunkenness alone. It was and is used quite seriously on many occasions when a handy explanation for a recent disaster or any other event is required...
As you can imagine, our kind archbishop, being the chief religious cleric for an area with some six million population, has ample influence on thoughts and dreams of many a Russian, not necessarily of religious persuasion...
And he has done a lot, not only in his sermons, but in his books and pamphlets, warning about the "alien" invasion of the Russian soil and Russian soul.
Our next hero comes from a somewhat surprising direction:
Yes, it is Gennady Zyuganov, the chief of Russian communist party. You might ask - what is it that unites the atheist communist with anti-semitic elements of Russian Orthodox Church (no, not the whole church is anti-semitic)? Well, Zyuganov gives an answer - readily and without hiding behind political correctness of his Western comrades*:
Mitropolit has rightly warned against the invasion of alien elements and he was open and pure, talking about it at the time when it was difficult to talk about it.
The real pain and nostalgia come through when Zyuganov sings hosannas to Stalin: yes, he was a Georgian but he absorbed the Russian spirit (more on Stalin to follow).
(*) In general, anti-Semitic propaganda in Russia does not buy into the cowardly practice of their Western "colleagues" and doesn't use "Zionist" where "Jew" will suffice. Really a refreshing change.
Meanwhile back to our anchor.
Unlike the Tzars of the past , the current rulers of the country look at the governing differently. But who really holds the reins [penetrating look at the camera]?Jews were foremost in destroying the great empire (immediately illustrated).
That picture doesn't leave any doubts about the meaning of "great empire" to our host.
Gorbachev and Eltzin only strengthened the Jewish hand, and with emergence of Putin the situation hasn't changed. In 2003 Putin, answering the question of the viewers on TV interview, said that the slogan "Russia for Russians" is only for retards.
This Putin's utterance - quite on target where the xenophobic slogan is concerned - seems to have an inordinately strong effect on Mr Dushenov, who keeps returning to it several times during the movie. Obviously he feels it was a personal insult. So, what about Putin?
Well, some say he is Jewish, some say he isn't. But it really doesn't matter - he is managing the country badly.
Yep - who would have thought that Vladimir Vladimirovich will become a suspect?
This picture of Putin entering one of the great rooms of Kremlin is accompanied by Hava Nagila. Now don't say that the creators of the movie are devoid of sense of humor...
After the appetizer of the first chapter, it will be easier for you to digest what is coming now. I am almost sure, that is. Time to introduce another participant. Professor Oleg Karatayev, doctor of jurisprudence, chair of law faculty, St. Petersburg State University of Water Communications. Besides being a law expert, Mr Karatayev has some history lessons to convey.
Control of the power fell into Jewish hands a year or two before the February revolution, Jewish banks funded the revolutionary groups aiming for destruction of monarchy and full control of Russia.
Stalin, using some brilliant maneuvers, succeeded toward 1941 to take over the power, cleaning up the government of Jews. WW II with its great sacrifices [Stalin on the Mausoleum in the background] helped to consolidate the Russian character of the country. But the "Jewish infection" hasn't allowed the power to remain in Russian hands after Stalin's death, and the power was gradually monopolized by Jews again. In seventies and eighties, when Jews realised that the Communist ideas don't work anymore, they left them and the Soviet authority and regime self-destructed. In 1991 - 1993 the power totally passed into Jewish hands. The Jewish revolution [sic!] of 1991 - 1993 was very easy, due to the fact that there was no real resistance on the part of the Soviet government.
Mr Karatayev concludes this part of historical review:
So, we either have to confess that Russians are imperfect in anthropological sense [whatever that means] or to admit that Jews are taking over the positions of power due to their [mumbling for search of words here] penetrative ability [whatever it means again]...
The next speaker is no more and no less than the great Russian writer, Nobel prize winner, the one and only Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn:
In defense of this speaker it should be said that his anti-Semitic tendencies are somewhat watered down - both in his books and in his speeches. He mumbled something about people who tend to go into business and politics instead of working the soil - but his heart clearly wasn't in it. However, he willingly gave a hand to this carnival of hate...
The next subject on the agenda was genocide of the Russian people. It is true that Russia faces a demographic catastrophe. Low birth rate, inefficient medicine, declining life expectancy due to alcoholism - all these are contributing to the population decline. And guess who is the guilty party? Here is another august speaker:
Lyubov Sliska, the First Deputy Chairman of the Duma - the Russian parliament. Big cheese, and she has to choose her words carefully.
It is as if there is a goal of extermination of Russian population. So these people should tell us [addressing some mysterious power beyond the screen] that this is so, so we can be prepared and ready...
Yep... There is more, much more of the same, so I have chosen to pick a few remarkable highlights from the rest of the movie, before it comes to some conclusions and "action items".
For strong expressions, third parties, like this Serbian archbishop
are chosen to vent the "Zhido-masonic" ("Judeo-masonic) and other similar strong terms. Or this cleric
that defined the the final goal of the "behind-the-scene" world government: to take over the globe populated by drastically reduced population of half-robots... to reach the absolute triumph of evil, the Kingdom of Antichrist...
Oh, and re that "Jewish fascism": it appears that this term is not sufficient for some of the contributors. Here comes another one:
Michael Nazarov, an expert in history and head of publishing house "Russian Idea":
German Nazism just copied the Jewish "chosen people" theory of a superior race that should dominate all other races...
Mr Nazarov seems to focus on a specific item of Jew-hate: the blood libel. With relish he revives the whole revolting history of this hateful slander. My friends who were so amazed by the latest Novosibirsk story have another surprise coming: there were several cases of blood libel in Russia during the last twenty years (one of them, in Krasnoyarsk in 2005, was started by Nazarov himself). Mr Nazarov is happy to chat about it, to make sure. And he is proud to announce that he is publishing a new book on the Beilis trial. No more and no less.
But the issue of blood libel is not raised without a higher purpose. According to the anchor, ritual killing of gentile boys is a Hassidic "tradition". And which is the most visible Hasidic sect in Russia today - of course, the "Nazist Chabad movement". And who is the leading representative of this blood-drinking group? Yes, you guessed right - it is Berl Lazar - the Chief Rabbi of Russia...
Welcome, my staunch and stubborn readers - I know there are very few of you who remained reading this long post after the firsttwo chapters... It is time to mention the visual aids generously sown by the editors throughout the whole movie. This image of blue sky is frequently accompanying the mentions of pure and lovely Orthodox Christianity.
These and similar images are frequently used as a sub-second flashes when the hated Jews are discussed:
Looks familiar, doesn't it?
The movie dedicates ample attention to the motive of Christ killers. It is done by (fairly artless, but this is not a Hollywood production, remember) intermixing of various scenes of dancing and otherwise celebrating Jews of all kinds with the most bloody scenes from The Passion of the Christ (thanks, Mel). Crude - but effective.
From this point it is only natural to plunge into a long learned discourse on a diabolical, anti-human and, of course, anti-Christian nature of Judaism. It is done with endless quoting from Hebrew texts (that appear for a few seconds on the screen sometimes), the mentioned above pictures of world-dominating aliens and such. The quotes are nothing new, though - you can find tons of such material on Jew Watch and similar places. It is the vigor and the passion in presenting these fakes that makes it so refreshing...
Tired? I am, so let's see what is the conclusion of the movie. What are the recommendations the anchor gives to the Russian people?
First of all - tell this mixed bunch of vermin that we are not afraid of them and soon will sweep them away as dust and dirt that has accumulated during the absence of the lawful owners.
Then we must tell the Russian people in various government, law-enforcement and military offices - we are not your enemies but brothers, bound by thousands years of common fate, tradition and culture. How can we allow our enemies to place us again on the opposing sides of the barricades?
And the last - stressing that he is not calling for violence, the anchor quotes the appropriate chapter of the human rights declaration that allows for revolt against the regime that acts against the best interests of its citizens...
Any questions? So let's deal with our own conclusions.
The unholy trinity of anti-semitic wing of the Orthodox Church, the communist party and various smaller neo-nazi, nationalistic and similar parties and groups is not a paltry bunch of wackos. We are talking about hundreds of thousands of indoctrinated Jew-haters, mostly dormant as far as the acts of racial hatred are concerned, but ready to be called to the flag at any moment - should an excuse be given. And another reminder from here:
In February 2005, twenty Russian MPs signed a letter, along with 500 intellectuals, accusing Jews of ritual murder and Satanism, and calling for all Jewish organisations to be banned.
The two hundred thousands or so Jews still remaining in Russia could do much worse for themselves than consider - and act - on the notion of leaving this place forever. Better safe than sorry.
As for the Russians... With all my love to the great nation: when you find the right time to stop blaming the enemies within and enemies from without for all your various blunders, maladies and disasters, when you find yourself able to look (a mirror could be useful) into the ever mysterious Russian soul (maybe it is not so mysterious after all and looks just like any other soul?) - then you will find a way to true freedom. And an opportunity to clean up your act regarding the creeps like the ones that star in this (and quite a few others like this one) movie.
Yes, it is important to stress that, unfortunately, this movie is not an exceptional one. There are more of the same genre, but one is quite enough for the purpose of this post.
If you want a short general review of modern Russian anti-Semitism, you can look at thesethreetexts by ADL.
The movie (at least part of it) could be also seen here.
Update: as fates will have it, the authorities in Russia have opened criminal proceedings against the good Mr Dushenov. Here is the gist of the charges against him:
That he committed acts intended to arouse hatred and enmity, as well as harm the dignity and rights of person or groups on grounds of nationality, origin, religion, committed publicly with the use of the mass media, by an organized group...
Italy's most prominent Muslim commentator converted to Roman Catholicism on Saturday during the Vatican's Easter vigil service presided over by the pope. An Egyptian-born, non-practicing Muslim, Magdi Allam has infuriated some fellow Muslims with his criticism of extremism and support for Israel.
The man definitely packs some stones. He has been already condemned to death by Hamas for his pro-Israeli views. Now he is to be condemned again, for apostasy.
Seems to be a rare clerical mistake related to that re-arrest. A bit cruel, though. Should have considered to jail the person who made the mistake instead.
Thanks but no thanks, we don't need your love and your empty words. I am not an observant Jew, yet I attended a Jewish school, have studied bits and pieces of Jewish law, and love my people more than you can possibly imagine. Because I do not put on a kippa and because there are no outward signs of my Judaism, you have tried to convert me.
Yeah, well, so far nobody tried to convert me, though... Should I feel bad about it? Or is it because recruiters of all creeds feel instinctively my inherent rudeness and avoid me as low potential target?
Eitan adds:
I wish, for that matter, that all three great Monotheistic religions could live in peace with one another.
I would like to add another condition: all three can pack their backpacks and go together to some location as equidistant as possible from normal humans' habitat - say, the Moon*.
But Eitan is too goodhearted to say this.
(*) If that sentence doesn't make it clear to you that I am perfectly able to be as good-mannered as the other bloke, you can fuck off and crawl (back) into your arsehole. Unassisted.
The theme for this week PhotoHunt is "Metal". It's an tough subject. I wouldn't go around mindlessly snapping at metal objects. So here are two results of my search in the archives.
Non-metal objects (glass, ceramics) are there for contrast.
And the birds (different ones) in both pictures are for some relief of these inhuman metallic surroundings.

Ben Cohen of Z-wordreports on a curious debate between a Jewish Canadian "philosopher" Michael Neumann and a British "journalist" Jonathan Cook based in Nazareth (Israel). The quotation marks in the previous sentence are due to a) doubtful nature of philosophic abilities of Mr Neumann who starts every article assuring the reader that the author is Jewish himself, the easier for him to slip immediately into anti-Jewish raving; and b) the kookiness of Mr Cook is so highly appreciated that aside of AlJazeera.com (the more lunatic sibling of Aljazeera.net) and the barking mad Counterpunch, no one seems to be eager to publish his ravings.
So, it is definitely not a battle of mental giants. Moreover, those two are in agreement re the final goal: make Israel Juden - frie, they differ only in the ways and means. But Ben does a good job in dissecting their ravings, so typical of a somewhat wider circle of rabid anti-Zionists.
Beware Russian parents. Keep watch over your children before the coming of April 2008, the Jewish holiday of Passover. These disgusting people still engage in ritual practice to their gods. They kidnap small children and remove some of their blood and use it to prepare their holy food (matza). They throw the bodies (of the children) out in garbage dumps.
Nope, it is not a quote from some XIX century anti-Semitic pamphlet. It comes from a text distributed in fair Russian city of Novosibirsk these days.
Hundred of anti-Semitic announcements warning Russian parents to beware of the supposed Jewish practice of using children's blood to prepare Passover matza were put up around the city of Novosibirsk, Russia in southwest Siberia on Wednesday.
Amos Hermon, the Jewish Agency official in charge of the fight against anti-Semitism, told Ynet following the incident in Novosibirsk that "this is an appalling and extraordinary incident.
Beg your pardon, Mr Hermon - this is where you are mistaken. While the incident is appalling, it is in no way extraordinary.
In a sense. The kidney in question is not meant to save a life of a minister, rather the opposite - to croak the minister in question. In fact, you have got a choice of three targets: Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Mossad Chief Meir Dagan orHead of Military Intelligence Amos Yaron.
The initiative comes from an NGO (so to speak) - an Iranian students organization calling itself Islamic Student Justice Seekers.
The Justice Seekers also called for volunteers to donate a kidney in order to offer the money acquired via the act to increase the financial prize.
Is the Iranian treasury so down on funds these days that they should resort to such amateurish methods?
But this post is not just about the Justice Seekers and their foray on the health domain. Look at this picture:
Aside of the call to invest your money or organs into the demise of the threesome pictured on the poster, it states quite clearly, and in the best Queen's English what exactly should be done with Israel. I'm curious: what will Juan Cole and his ilk make of this statement? Blame the Iranian translators this time?
Another refreshing detail - the poster says "Israel" and not "Zionist entity" or some such. Interesting...
This, generally stupid term got an expanded meaning with a revolutionary new groundwork laid by no other than the well-known marriage expert Rabbi Shmuley Boteach in his JP article Self-hating Spitzer. The article starts with an admonition:
Dr. Laura Schlesinger has a penchant for inane and knee-jerk moralizing.
I really don't know who the esteemed Dr. Laura Schlesinger is, but she has obviously pissed off our learned rabbi. And the rest of the article is - yes, you guessed correctly - lots of vacuous moralizing and grandstanding on the subject so close to good rabbi's heart - the self-destruction of something he calls "American Male". Read this (aloud?) and try to understand:
Men today are cheating not because their wives do not love them, but because they do not love themselves; not because their wives are not caring, but because their perforated sense of self is immune to affection. Were their wives to shower them with all the love in the world, it would simply seep through the shards of their shattered egos.
Oh boy, and it is not the worst yet, worse is yet to come:
Propelled to succeed by an all-encompassing fear of failure* and thrown into a rat race without limit, the broken American male never feels like he is ever good enough and chooses destructive escapes to compensate.
That tortured "American male" (probably the last of its species, the singularly monstrous figure that encompassed the worst in the species since - but including - Cain) is so self-loathing and self-revolting that his end is nigh:
Even if they [males] overcome the porn**, they usually end up sports and TV addicts, who spend, on average, three hours per day in front of the tube. And that's three hours where they are not helping with the dishes, putting the kids to sleep, or being with their wives.
And he didn't even mention blogging...
One of rabbi's lightning bolts, though, was addressed at me personally:
Millions of teenage boys are pushing girls to have sex well before their bodies are ready, and without any kind of protection.
Yes, Rabbi, I did at the time. I 'fess up freely and willingly: guilty as charged. I pushed, I cajoled, I begged. But my body was ready, I swear!!!
Anyway, what was this all about? Do you still follow the rabbi's thread of thought? No? I suspected that much. What about my thread of thought? The same? Don't blame me...
Don't you just hate them generalizations?
(*) The rabbi knows quite a lot about all-encompassing drive to success, doesn't he? (**) And he is quite an expert on porn sex too, I hear.
A group of Americans was touring Ireland . One of the women in the group was a real curmudgeon, constantly complaining.
"The bus seats are uncomfortable.""The food is terrible." "It's too hot." "It's too cold." "The accommodations are awful..."
The group arrived at the site of the famous Blarney Stone.
"Good luck will be followin' ya all your days if you kiss the Blarney Stone," the guide said. "Unfortunately, it's being cleaned today and so no one will be able to kiss it. Perhaps we can come back tomorrow."
"We can't be here tomorrow," the nasty woman shouted. "We have some other boring tour to go on. So I guess we can't kiss the stupid stone."
"Well now," the guide said, "it is said that if you kiss someone who has kissed the stone, you'll have the same good fortune."
"And I suppose you've kissed the stone," the woman scoffed.
"No, ma'am," the frustrated guide said, "but I've sat on it."
Mick Hartley quotes the head of the Department of Islamic Studies at King Saud University:
One of the important things that we must tell people is that what is going on in Palestine today is a real holocaust. This is the real holocaust. A holocaust is not the burning of 50-60 Jews in Germany or Switzerland, but the Jews continue to call it the Holocaust.
That's a relatively easy to discern case of Joo-hate. Unfortunately that's what is being taught to millions of children in many Islamic countries, but this couldn't be helped.
But here comes a Palestinian leader considered a moderate by many, a politician we are supposed to make peace with. And what does he preach?
The Palestinian Authority president has accused Israel of maintaining policies in Jerusalem that are tantamount to "an ethnic cleansing campaign". Speaking to leaders from Muslim countries gathered in Senegal, Mahmoud Abbas said Israel's actions were calculated to force Palestinians from the city.
"Our people in Jerusalem are under an ethnic cleansing campaign," he said. "They are suffering from a series of decisions like tax hikes and construction prohibitions." Abbas said Palestinians were "facing a campaign of annihilation" by the Israeli state.
Ethnic cleansing and annihilation. In other words, the "real Holocaust" again. Of course, this was announced in Arabic - for internal use, so to speak. The man is gradually mastering the double-tongued manner of public speeches of his predecessor. One for the West, one for the East...
To remind you, here are some demographics of Jerusalem:
Growth rate of Arab population in city in past 40 years is double that of Jewish population, data published by Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies reveals. In 2020, Arabs expected to constitute 40 percent of capital's residents.
I would say, a typical case of ethnic cleansing. Wouldn't you?
Now guess what are Palestinian kids learning from their teachers?
A Hertfordshire teenager refused a knee operation - after surgeons told him there could be a dead rat in the operating theatre.
The teenager, who had waited 11 months for the knee op, told The Sun: "He said the smell didn't represent a health risk but I was appalled.
"I asked him, 'If you were me would you have the operation?' He looked at me and said 'no', so I decided there and then I wasn't going to go ahead.
A spokesman for the town's Queen Elizabeth II hospital said the operation would be rescheduled.
11 months in wait for operation, then you get a dead rat in the surgery room, then the event to be rescheduled again.
Tell you what: I smell a rat too, but not of the Rattus rattus species. Rather of the usual, you know, leftover bits and pieces under the operating table.
The theme for this week PhotoHunt is "I spy". It's an excellent subject that allows you to report on anything you want to report about. I cannot say that my spying business is very exciting. But a week ago I spied on the most exciting season here in Israel - the spring. It is almost here, and the weekend in question was very hot, thanks to khamsin - a hot wind coming from the desert. Happens every year around this time.
Still, it was an opportunity to check on the spring's advance in the Lachish area. So here is a brief report. Two of the shots I made were alreadyout. Here are a few more. The forest one:
And a lizard using the first hot day to warm up in the sun:
And that amazing team of hundreds of caterpillars working together on a common (what - cocoon? - I wish I knew more about them) shelter.
And this lonely flower over an entrance of a cave - somehow different and beautiful.
Well, there is more, but you are tired by now and have lots of blogs to visit.

For a change, I am not making fun of the on-line edition editor. The story is really something:
A dolphin swam up to two distressed whales that appeared headed for death in a beach stranding in New Zealand and guided them to safety, witnesses said Wednesday.
The actions of the bottlenose dolphin -- named Moko by residents who said it spends much of its time swimming playfully with humans at the beach -- amazed would-be rescuers and an expert who said they were evidence of the species' friendly nature.
Really first of a kind, and hooray to Moko. She is quite a gal!
Anyhow, there was a wonder of a different nature that drew my attention: the insidious expert-speak:
...it's the first time I've heard of an inter-species refloating technique.
I am normally as far away from that subject as humanly possible. I wouldn't normally touch it with a ten meter pole.
But this is an exceptional case. Basket case, finale, total loss of brain cells and pure masochism, don't even try to tell me otherwise.
That some female - hater would invent this ultimate torture machine and not even be considered by International Criminal Tribunal is unbelievable.
Lincolnshire-born Berardi, 39, said he was inspired by Latin American music and 1980s post-modernism, adding: "When you walk, it is almost on tiptoe. You look really dainty."
Yes, the victory signs are not misplaced, it was a victory of sorts.
She left “a broken family” at age 17, having been abused, according to the MySpace page, and has used drugs and “been broke and homeless.”
Ms. Dupré said by telephone Tuesday night that she was worried about how she would pay her rent since the man she was living with “walked out on me” after she discovered he had fathered two children.
Tehran’s police chief, Reza Zarei, has been arrested (has resigned according to other sources) after he was found nude in a local brothel with six naked prostitutes, according to report on the Iranian Farda News.
Before he was arrested, Zarei was in charge of the programme for the 'moralisation of the city'.
It is alleged that in the past six months, hundreds of young people have been arrested in Iran for not respecting the Islamic code of behaviour.
I, personally, am absolutely sure that the good General was only enforcing the Islamic morality. Iranian Press Service has the following details:
The Police Commander in charge of implementing Islamic Morality and fighting against hooligans and social trouble-makers has been arrested in a residence in company of six women whom he had ordered to make their prayer completely nude , according to well informed sources and independent internet sites.
I say, he just wanted the prayer to come really from the heart - and how else to make sure it does if not watching them pray in the nude? And his own performance report makes all allegations about alleged sexual activities simply absurd:
When in command, General Zare’i had boasted to have addressed more than five thousand people since the start of the project a year ago...
Let's say he invested 300 working days, which makes it almost 17 ladies "addressed" daily on average. Surely he couldn't have...
On one hand, he didn't seem to try to enter UK. So the ban was kind of premature.
On the other hand, he may be right when he says:
Seeing that renowned terrorists like Hizbullah member Ibrahim Mousawwi are welcomed in your country in open arms, I understand that your policy is aimed at encouraging and supporting terror.
He may have a point, you know.
But on the third hand (how many hands... no matter) - come on, dear Brits: you always claim to support every effort to promote peace in the Middle East. And now, when you may have a chance to keep him for a while and thus contribute to the effort here, you reject it?
Warning for the more sensitive reader: a vomit inducing post, click "Read more..." at your own peril.
I have been hesitating about the appropriate area of human anatomy that could serve as a suitable location for the species mentioned in this post... but let the story unveil.
The enmity between various groups of so called "Jewish anti-Zionists" in Britain (in fact, calling them "groups" is a vast exaggeration in most cases) is definitely not news. Mutual hate between these strange microorganisms is caused mainly by the limited access to the media trough. After all, how much interest could generate another sorry case of complex-ridden Joo who is so unhappy to be a Joo to start with that his readiness to vilify his own people exceeds most of the worst examples provided by anti-Zionist gentiles?
But this is not a post about psychiatry. It is about another spike in the fascinating (no, not really) mud-slinging war between two "prominent" members of these small but virulent species: Gilad Atzmon and Tony Greenstein. You can enjoy the e-war in its amazing ugliness here. Laughably, the source of the story calls itself Socialist Unity or something like that - hooray to unity!
The best summary of the whole, including the concise analysis of warring parties belongs to Tone the GreenStalin himself. In a rare display of clarity he... see for yourself:
Which is worse? Stealing off a bank or denying that millions of people were murdered? Just a question about ‘ethics’. And speaking of paedophillia, do you think your friend Israel Shamir, who defends sex with girls as ‘old’ as 9 is still a ‘unique and advanced thinker’?
Aside of one typo, no third party could describe the participants of the feud better. A thief, a Holocaust denier, a pedophile - no need to add to that.
Now we can go back to the question of the area of human anatomy that could be most appropriate as a habitat for these creatures. I have started with "underbelly", but it is a wide and ill-defined term, suitable for prostitutes, robbers, swindlers and other honorable people who could be insulted by the company in question. Groin - but it is an area also associated (between other functions) with pleasure and as such should not be offered as a habitat for such an alien and poisonous lifeforms.
Then I remembered something out of this world. One of the Guardian Talk regulars invented a non-existent creature to characterize his adversaries. This eerily effective insult was met by universal admiration from all political wings of that forum. The term is "anal lice", and it fixes both the location and the genus of the species better than any other. Pity I cannot claim this term as my own invention.
So it is settled then. Move on, people, nothing more to see...
P.S. On another fine example of the same species here.
Being self-centered and confident in our star qualities and our vast value to humanity, we, the bloggers are living in a shadow of a constant nightmare: what happens if the uncounted treasures accumulated in our blogs suddenly disappears? Pulling of hair, gnashing of teeth, knocking head on wall and other acts of self-mutilation don't even start to describe what could potentially happen to us. And, in fact, happens from time to time to some less fortunate users of Blogger and other tools.
Well, I am happy to tell you all that there is a superb solution and no, it is not Prozac.

The destruction of Iran's nuclear capabilities would be in the interest of the Arab nations in the Gulf, and it would be less embarrassing if it was done by Israel rather than the U.S., a top Kuwaiti strategist said in remarks published Sunday.
It could be educational to trace the devious logic of the learned analyst.
We are afraid of Iran, that is a given
We don't want ever to be seen as Iran's enemies
We'll be glad to see Iranian power in the region waning
The only ones who could or would give Iran a beating are Americans or these damn Israelis
But we don't like Americans, our friends and protectors, to be linked to it, cause it will embarrass us by reference
So let the Zionists do it - then we can always say that it's another dastardly atrocity by the usual dastardly Zionists
And kill two birds with one stone, then relax on our fat arses and count the petrodollars pouring in
There is a laughably stupid question the analyst (one Sami al-Faraj) is asking:
The question is what would it do if it [Iran] were a nuclear nation?
The answer is so glaringly obvious, Mr al-Faraj: continue relaxing on your fat arses and count the petrodollars pouring in. You know it, dontcha?
