The Birth of Israel • ©2008 BBC (full documentary)

"Israeli Arabs are generally non-assimilating and reside in villages where they administer their own municipal and internal affairs. They run their own schools, where Arabic, an official language of Israel, is the language of instruction. They govern their religious courts, which adjudicate matters relating to marriage and divorce. However, they have been greatly influenced by Israeli culture, incorporating aspects of it into their own. They learn and speak Hebrew fluently, watch Israeli television programs and read Hebrew newspapers. Arab companies are listed and active on the Israeli stock exchange. Also, young Israeli Arabs have adopted many practices of secular Jewish Israelis, such as wearing modern, Western-style clothing." -- The Israel Project



In the Middle East, 1.4 million Arabs experience true freedom. They live in Israel. They are citizens of the Jewish state and enjoy same legal and political rights as the rest.



300,000 million Arabs do not experience true freedom. They live outside the tiny strip of Israel under a misogynistic yokes posing as sovereignty and independence. The contrast between the Arabs in Israel and counterparts outside the strip are becoming distinct.



On May 15th 1948 Israel reaffirmed its 4000-year statehood.



The BBC Documentary, that should have been named 'The Rebirth of Israel', looks at this defining moment with enough material to flare up debate from both sides. It explains the events leading up to Israel's birth in 1948, defense of its borders and continuing impact on the Middle East peace process and Arab/Israeli relations.

Daylight: The Story of Obama and Israel


Obama does not have Israel's back.  Obama has turned his back on Israel.
I shall pray for Israel without ceasing.  It is the only thing that I can do as I am too old to fight.
May God have mercy on us all.  I long for the day when can cherish the true and deep meaning
of Shalom.  But it won't be this year.

Conference at Harvard denies Jewish people of legal basis for existence.

Anti-Israel activists who have gathered this weekend at Harvard University's "One State Conference" were told yesterday that the Jewish people do not exist.  Prof. Susan M. Akram of Boston University's School of Law told the gathering that there is no legal basis for Jewish self-determination--at all:  More here: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/03/04/exclusive-audio-harvard-conference-jewish-people-do-not-exist

Comment:  Muslim oil money can buy information or disinformation.  No surprise here.  What is astounding is how Harvard has turned into a whore.  Here is a post about that legal aspect of Jewish rights or go to

PM Netanyahu: World Must Prevent a Nuclear Iran

If video fails, click here or go to http://divine-ripples.blogspot.com/2011/11/pm-netanyahu-world-must-prevent-nuclear.html

The world must see the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report for what it is and stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons before it is too late, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the Cabinet Sunday.

The IAEA report last week stated what Israel has been claiming for years – that Iran is trying to manufacture an atom bomb.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said on several occasions that Israel must be “wiped off the map” and that the Jewish state is a “cancer.”

UN Choir presents: Somebody To Hate (video)

The anti-Israeli irrational and unjustified villification of Israel.



Here are the facts:

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has launched an international campaign to achieve recognition by the United Nations for an independent Palestinian state. Abbas and his international supporters claim that only Israel (with the United States) stands in the way of this act of historical justice, which would finally bring about peace in the Middle East. 

This video debunks the Palestinians' claim and shows that Abbas has been lying about the origins and history of the conflict. Palestinian leaders have rejected partition plans that would have given them much more land for their independent state than the Jews were offered for theirs. Rather than being the innocent victims of a "dispossession" at the hands of the Israelis, the Palestinians rejected reasonable compromises and instead pursued their aim of getting rid of the only Jewish state in the world.

Human Rights Violations in Gaza (video)

If video fails, click here or go to http://divine-ripples.blogspot.com/2011/06/human-rights-violations-in-gaza-video.html

Israel is one of the most humane countries in the world – even to it’s enemies who have sworn to destroy it. Although Gaza is run by the terrorist entity Hamas, continuously firing missiles into Israel, Israel still allows an open border for supplies and food to get through to the Gazan populace.

Neveretheless, Israel is blamed for being the human rights violator in Gaza. The truth is, though, that the ruling Hamas government is a serial human rights violator in dealing with it’s own population. Yet the world stays silent. Be sure to watch this video to better understand for yourselves Hamas’ human rights violations against it’s own people – the Paelstinians.

Racism towards Muslims in Israel? exposed with HIDDEN CAMERAS. (video)

If video fails, click here or go to http://divine-ripples.blogspot.com/2011/06/racism-towards-muslims-in-israel.html

Vid descrip:  "The guy in the shop AND the Arab woman are actors, the objective was to see the average Israelis reaction to his racism. The customers are all real.  "What would you do?" (Israel) is a show that checks out how israelis responds to many Israeli issues by hidden cameras which the people not aware of. Here is ths video, the hidden cameras were installed inside a Kiosk at a filling station near the city of Holon.    The Seller allegedly refuse to sell to Arabs. Of course the Arabs and the Jewish Seller are Actors and the scene is totally staged. However, the Jewish people who inside the shop do not aware to the fact that the incident is not real, nor to the hidden cameras."

My comment:  Be sure to watch all the way to the end.  That has the best part.  Also, the bottom line from a larger geo-political perspective is this:  if tommorrow, the Muslims  will lay down their arms, there will be peace in the Middle East.  I wish I could say the same for the other way around.  Unfortunately, history has shown otherwise.

Obama Doubles Down on Israel. Ship Under US Flag To Break Israeli Blockade.

Source:  http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/144733

Excerpt:   "A ship flying US colors and carrying 34 passengers is set to joint this year's Gaza-bound, IHH-sponsored “Freedom Flotilla 2” in June, the New York Times reported....This year's American vessel, named The Audacity of Hope after US President Barack Obama’s best-selling book, is being organized by an American group called “US Boat to Gaza.”
Obama links to the Audacity do not end there, however. Prof. Rashid Khalidi, director of the Middle East Institute at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, and a friend from Obama’s time in Chicago, is among the supporters of an appeal launched by the group last week.
“We must raise at least $370,000 in the next month,” a statement on US Boat to Gaza’s Web site read indicating it doesn't have the money needed to sail yet.
“These funds will be used to purchase a boat large enough for 40-60 people, secure a crew, and cover the licensing and registering of the boat. Together we will contribute to the great effort to end the blockade of Gaza and the illegal occupation of Palestine.”

My comment:  To state the obvious, it’s another publicity stunt to cast Israel as the antagonist in peace process or worse put Israel at odds with the USA.   Because if they wanted to send supplies to Gaza, they could have gone via Egypt whose borders opened up 2 weeks ago. But they wanted a replay of the IDF boarding the ships - this time of a ship under the US flag. So what is the outcome of this catch-22?  No scenario looks good.  I am too old and sick to join the IDF but I shall raise my arms in prayer like Moses, prop them when they get tired, so that Israel with thrive through all these machinations. Shalom IDF. And Mr. Obama, "Stop that ship." H/T WHT

A remarkable comment by RedNeck Willie from the original WHT post:

An old West Virginia Hillbilly saying: Ya can’t get the water to clear up until you get the pigs outta the creek.

*If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?*

*If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head? *

*If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who’s side he was on? *

*If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot? *

*If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one foreign company had an accident, would you have agreed? *

*If any other of our presidents had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87,000 American workers unemployed would you support him? *

*If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes? *

*If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it a proud moment for America ? *

*If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a minor slip? *

*If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, wouldn’t you have had second thoughts about his capabilities? *

*If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk. *

*If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, wouldn’t you have winced in embarrassment? *

*If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?*

*If any other of our presidents’ administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11? *

*If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence? *

*If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have ever approved. *

*If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved? *
*So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?

*Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He’s done all this in 24 months — so you have that much time to come up with an answer .*
*An’ how about all those vacations he & Michelle take constantly, (with a more than a full enterage’) paid for by American tax-payers?

House Democrats turn against Obama on Israel. No truce there.

"It’s a powerful political ad, and one that shows voters and donors, both Democrats and Republicans, that President Obama isolated himself with his recent attacks on Israel. Proof? Practically all the major Democratic players in Congress spoke out against President Obama in the highly publicized debate over whether negotiations with the Palestinians should begin at the 1967 borders."

The Arabs want to convince the world the Israelis and Jews are the aggressors and killers, while at the same time trying to cause the world to forget the first massacre, a massacre they committed against Jews, while trying to make people forget that over one million jews were forced to flee arab and muslim lands to save themselves....many died but thanks to G-d many fled and survived.

The truth must be told! All European life died in Auschwitz

I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz.

We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, and talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.

The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned. And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.

They have turned our beautiful European cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.

And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.

We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.

What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.

Setting Israel Up for Annihilation - pre-1967 borders (video)

Obama's peace plan consists in having Israel pull back to it's pre-1967 borders - much less than what Israel originally owns.  It is also less than what was demarcated in the Palestinian Mandate of 1920  More importantly, it is setting up Israel for annihilation as the video illustrates.  If video fails, click here or go to http://divine-ripples.blogspot.com/2011/05/setting-israel-up-for-annihilation-pre.html


And no guarantees from any nation can really provide security to Israel as history has shown.  Cfr.   The Red Wing Report  Does Obama understand Buchenwald?

It is true that Israel's dependence on the United States for economic, military and political support makes it vulnerable to pressure, but when Israel's security is put at risk, the lesson of Buchenwald gives Israelis the strength to say no
