PLO PA Flag Flies at State Department: PLO PA Gets Diplomatic Immunity

Hillary Clinton's State Department has upgraded the status of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) from a "bureau" to a "general delegation." This moves gets the terrorist organization's flag flying at "the people's State Department building. This upgrade will also grant diplomatic immunity to "visitors" of the "delegation," and gives the PLO and the PA the same status as "Canada and many western European countries."

Who abides within the "delegation?" Will their terrorist credentials get a security check? Is there anyone in the delegation we will refuse to allow in the U.S.?

Apparently, Netanyahu knew this was coming, didn't object, and don't we know, that would be useless anyway:

Israeli Radio reported that sources in Prime Minister Netanyahu's office said that the Prime Minister knew of the planned step and did not object to it. . Diplomatic sources in Jerusalem claimed that the step was taken to strengthen Abu Maazen and try to get him to agree to direct talks with Israel. However, they expressed dissapointment that the White House did not make ceasing the PA's anti Israel incitement a condition for the status upgrade.

For attitude, see Right, Wing-Nut! who suggests using the Israeli flag as a doormat may be next and Solomonia muses about Israel's motive,

Asylum Granted for Son of Hamas Mosab Yousef

This news just in - Mosab Hassan Yousef has been granted political asylum in the U.S. When he got to court, the good news was DHS dropped their objections.

Mosab, many in America are celebrating with you tonight. 
God Bless

SAN DIEGO — The son of a Hamas founder who became a Christian and an Israeli spy will be granted U.S. asylum after he passes a routine background check, an immigration judge ruled Wednesday. Mosab Hassan Yousef got the news during a 15-minute deportation hearing after a U.S. Department of Homeland Security attorney said the government was dropping its objections. The agency denied Yousef's asylum request in February 2009, arguing that he had been involved in terrorism and was a threat to the United States.

Attorney Kerri Calcador gave no explanation for the government's change of heart. 

The immigration judge, Rico Bartolomei, ruled that Yousef will be allowed to remain in the United States after he is fingerprinted and passes a routine background check. 

Yousef, who has been living in San Diego, was cheered by supporters as he left the hearing. He said he loves living in California, wants to become a U.S. citizen and hopes to pursue a master's degree in history and geography. "

I will keep fighting the ideology that is behind terrorists because I know how they think," he said outside the courtroom. Yousef, 32, said he could not explain the government's abrupt decision, but said authorities may have had second thoughts after reviewing his case more closely. 

 "For 10 years, he fought terrorism in secret, hiding what he was doing and who he was," his attorney, Steven Seick, wrote in a court filing. "He deserves a safe place away from violence and fear."

Chris Matthews Republican Suicide Bombers Video

In this video, the conversation with Chris Matthews and his guest, Politico's Jim VandeHei,  is the whine that Republicans believe they have momentum, so will not help "The President" with any of his legislation. When I hear this, and I do, over and over, I find myself talking back to the screen. The point is, we agree with absolutely nothing coming out of this White House. Everything is radical, so why would we co-operate? After VanderHei drones on, Matthews breaks in and compares Republicans to suicide bombers...and says we "don't care who dies." See the video below.

Suicide Bombers

This comparison by Matthews of Conservatives to suicide bombers is puzzling. I thought all progressives had great empathy for the "plight of the Palestinians" and their valiant fight against the Jews, you know - a dedication to bringing justice to their people. The heartbreaking act of a noble mother strapping her young son into the explosives, leading him to the 72 virgins, and not caring who dies shows martyrdom is the last act of mercy for "the people."

Conservatives are interested in bringing justice to the people as well, and we plan to use our Constitution to do, just as the Palestinians use their Charters and Constitutions to send the suicide bombers forth - or at least they did until Israel erected the wall and cut them off.

I think understand Matthews now. He wasn't criticizing us. He was pointing out how heroic Republicans are for standing up for principle. You know, Chris, it's inconvenient but you really can't have it both ways.

Israeli IDF Saves Palestinian Girl: Palestinian Children Sing of Martyrdom

The first video is a Palestinian family whose 5 year old daughter was hit by a rock as she was riding in her parents car. The video appears to indicate the rock was thrown by Palestinians from surrounding hills. An Israeli IDF soldier stops and probably saves the girl's life. The second video is of Palestinian children singing of martyrdom and revenge.

Palestinian Children

The little Palestinian girl, Jana, is now paralyzed in some areas of her body. You see the Palestinian father and mother at first frightened of the military vehicle approaching and then you see the soldier visiting the family after Jana comes home from the hospital. This is the way Palestine should live with their neighbor. Israel is more than willing - just eliminate the calls for death to Jews. The world would be a much nicer place.

Palestinian Children

In the second video Palestinian children sing of revenge, of dying for Allah, and of martyrdom. A question is asked: "Without Palestine what meaning is there to childhood?' The unfortunate answer for these children is that they will never find peace, not because Israel is attacking them, but because Islam allows no peace if a Jew is anywhere in the area.

Palestinian Child Abuse

These children haven't a clue of the possibility of being grabbed by Hamas and used as a human shield. How uncivilized do you have to be to teach your children to sing and praise martyrdom?

Women Filling Next Free Gaza Flotilla: Women are the Secret Weapon

Organizers of the next Free Gaza Flotilla are filling at least the first boat with women, because the "thieving enemy" [Israel] won't use arms against woman. Women are the "secret weapon." That, in stark contrast to the habit of Hamas in Gaza habitually using women and children as human shields. Stay with this because the news has changed many times in the last 24 hours.

Women the Secret Weapon

The Turkish organizers have been added to Israel's terror watch list, known as The Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Aid (IHH).

A Lebanese lawyer, Samar Alhaj is also a female activist with ties to Hizbollah, is heading the group of female floaters. She says her ship Mariam, named after the Virgin Mary will transport her secret weapons. Alhaj did not mention that an Arab newspapers are quoting Lebanese sources saying it is illegal for a ship leaving Lebanon to dock in an Israeli port.

This time the boats will have more Christians (infidels) than Muslims, and it floats out of Lebanon, a country hostile to Israel:

Asked on Radio A-Shams by Zohair Bahloul why the ship, Mariam, would only be carrying women, she said, “We are women in order not to give the thieving enemy an excuse to use arms against the ship.” She said the ship would be carrying cancer medication for children, and women suffering from breast cancer and cancer of the uterus due to “chemical bombs” dropped on Gaza by Israel...

Speaking of Israel, she said, “the entity that was not defeated will be defeated by women that will come on the boat. Our weapon is cancer medication. 

Alhaj said that the boat will have some 50 women, “more Christians than Muslims,” and will be coming from Lebanon, the US, France, Britain, Japan, Kuwait and Egypt. 

But now we hear Israel may allow aid ships directly into the port of Gaza after inspection, rather than Israel transporting the cargo.

So, we'll see how that works out for Israel. This from the man who funds the flotillas:

He said he had a message for Israelis: ‘Get on the ships we are sending you and go back to your lands. Don’t let the moderate Arab leaders delude you, [you] cannot make peace with us. Our children will return to Palestine, you have no reason for coexistence. Even if our leaders will sign a peace agreement, we will not sign.’”

On Lebanese television, he also referred to Israelis as "Europe's refuse."

Tony Blair, former British Prime Minister says there is no need of an "aid flotilla."Israel is opening the way for use of legitimate existing land crossings." Nevertheless, Israel has continued their warnings, saying they will "use all necessary means to stop the vessels, so in light of all this, someone made an executive decision and decided to float the boat to Cyprus. And now - more decisions, the flotilla may not float at all.

Free Palestine Blockades Oakland, CA Port

That's right, Free Palestine blockades a ship from Zim Lines, which has its headquarters in Israel. The goal was to shutdown the docks where the Israeli ship is docked for 24 hours. See the list of participants below,  courtesy of Pajamas Media: Islamists and communists, with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union voting to not cross the picket line! Do you get that? Islamists have shut down an Oakland, California dock and the Union allowed it.

Oakland Blockade - take a look at the Turkish and Palestinian flags!

From Pajamas Media:

Keep in mind that the Port of Oakland is not some minor, backwater city-owned port: it is in fact the fourth busiest port in the country and a major linchpin in the economy of California and the West, serving as the gateway for much of the materials coming from Asia into the United States. A threat to the proper functioning of the Port of Oakland can effect the economy nationwide. It’s not a good sign that fringe groups can dictate which countries get to ship goods into the US. What if someone protested at the port against China’s human rights record? Would the longshoremen stop unloading Chinese ships and bring most West Coast imports to a halt? Obviously not. Pragmatism dictates that you can bully a small trading partner, but not a big one.

Pajamas Media - who, what when and where:

The planned protest and blockade were organized by The Free Palestine Movement (one of the same groups which organized the Gaza “flotilla” in the first place) as well as a rogues’ gallery of nearly every communist, anti-Israel and radical Islamist group in the Bay Area:

Oakland, CA: Join the Labor and Community Picket of an Israeli Zim Lines Ship

Sunday, June 20, 5:30am

Port of Oakland,Berth 57, Middle Harbor Rd.

Protest Israel’s Attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla!

Boycott Israeli Ships and Goods!

Lift the Blockade NOW – Let Gaza Live!

Bring Down Israel’s Apartheid Wall!

We call on everyone who stands for justice and against occupation and apartheid to join the June 20 picket at the Port of Oakland. This is a moment of great opportunity. In San Francisco in 1984, a picket line and refusal to unload cargo of a ship carrying South African cargo was a key event in mobilizing the anti-apartheid movement worldwide.

Lyrics from Velvet Hammer

Lyrics:
There comes a time
When we need to make a show
For the world, the Web and CNN
There’s no people dying,
so the best that we can do
Is create the greatest bluff of all

We must go on pretending day by day
That in Gaza, there’s crisis, hunger and plague
Coz the billion bucks in aid won’t buy their basic needs
Like some cheese and missiles for the kids

We’ll make the world
Abandon reason
We’ll make them all believe that the Hamas
Is Momma Theresa
We are peaceful travelers
With guns and our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV

Ooooh, we’ll stab them at heart
They are soldiers, no one cares
We are small, and we took some pictures with doves
As Allah showed us, for facts there’s no demand
So we will always gain the upper hand

We’ll make the world
Abandon reason
We’ll make them all believe that the Hamas
Is Momma Theresa
We are peaceful travelers
we’re waving our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV

If Islam and terror brighten up your mood
But you worry that it may not look so good
Well well well well don’t you realize
You just gotta call yourself
An activist for peace and human aid

We’ll make the world
Abandon reason
We’ll make them all believe that the Hamas
Is Momma Theresa
We are peaceful travelers
We’re waving our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV

We con the world
We con the people
We’ll make them all believe the IDF is Jack the Ripper
We are peaceful travelers
We’re waving our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV
We con the world (Bruce: we con the world…)
We con the people (Bruce: we con the people…)
We’ll make them all believe the IDF is Jack the Ripper
We are peaceful travelers
We’re waving our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV
The truth will never find its way to your TV
