Jesse Jackson At Evian, Dubya On The Golan, etc...

Taking Care Of Business…

by Gerald A. Honigman


Quite predictable, if disappointing…

What a week this has been.

First I hear about Jesse Hymietown Jackson’s quote at the Evian Conference in France stating that when Obama gets into office, he’s gonna show those Zionists a thing or two. No doubt...with all those anti-Semitic and/or anti-Zionist (no real difference) advisors he already has lined up.

This is the same Mr. Shakedown Artist Jackson who plays deaf, dumb, and blind to genocidal Arabs still enslaving and massacring black Africans in the Sudan and elsewhere (as they have been doing for numerous centuries)--not to mention their subjugation and butchery of any and all others who dare contest the Arab claim that the entire region is purely Arab patrimony. One half of Israel’s Jews fled that ‘Arab’ world. But all Jackson can find fault with are those damned Jews and their sole microscopic State.


Soon after the newest Jackson manure, I next learned that, as he prepares to leave office, President Bush is determined to continue to expose his apparently truest hand regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict...support Israel, but force it to become so dependent upon America that it has to ignore reality and its own fragility and vital interests for the sake of Washington--whether it’s also really good for America or not.


In the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Dubya and his Lady at State, Condi Rice (the Secretary, not the oil tanker already named for her), continue to pretend that Israel has something other than a peace of the grave partner in Abbas’s latter day Arafatian Fatah boys.

Lie after lie after lie, cover up after cover up, excuse after excuse--like in the old days and the games Clinton and his crew (including State’s Jew stooges) played to make Arafat and Fatah the good guys as well. With the clock ticking before his departure, it seems that Dubya is still determined to force Israel to cave in to alleged Arab good cops whose well-known real destruction in stages plans (stated by themselves over and over again) regarding the Jewish State are no better than those of the Hamas bad cops.


And now there’s additional news that America alone aims to determine Israel’s defense and security needs regarding other murderous Arab enemies as well.

Dubya has evidently promised Baby Assad that if he cuts Iranian ties, he’ll force Israel to give up the entire Golan…

That’s right, reward the butcher and enslaver of independent Lebanon, subjugator and murderer of Syrian Kurds, Jews, and so forth for a temporary respite in Syria’s age-old, deadly machinations...regardless of the highly predictable consequences.

Looks to me like Dubya is setting himself up for a really nice retirement.

Not that it wouldn’t be nice anyway, but Arabs can be quite generous to those who shaft Jews.

Just ask Mr. Shakedown Artist and his friends Jimmy Apartheid Israel Carter and Bill Arafat to the White House over a dozen times Clinton. The results of the latter’s squeeze of Ehud Barak over disputed, non-apportioned ( not ‘occupied’) territories of the original 1920 Palestine Mandate at Camp David and Taba, getting him to forsake the secure and defensible real borders--not artificially imposed armistice lines--promised by U.N.S.C. Resolution 242, have now become the starting point demanded by Arabs for current ‘negotiations.’ That’s Clinton’s and Baker’s former Jew Boys’ legacy vis-a-vis Israel.

Among other things, Dan Kurtzer played front man in the fight with Israel over the route of its defense barrier to protect Ben Gurion airport from the same Arab mortar and rocket attacks it’s now receiving from Gaza courtesy of earlier Foggy fulminations and fantasies. That’s how too many Jews get ahead in a State Department which rejected Israel’s right to exist from the getgo and fought Pesident Truman over Israel’s resurrection on less than 15% of the 1920 Mandate. Arab Jordan now sits on almost 80% of that Mandate’s territory.

Since we’re on the topic, Dubya’s virtual uncle and his dad’s (George the First) Secretary of State, James f_ _ _ the Jews they don’t vote for us anyway Baker, continues to make a fortune via gratitude from the Arab petro-spigot. For that matter, so does George the First.

Good to see it’s a bipartisan thing...

Moving on…

As I’ve stated before (but can’t be repeated often enough), as in Judea and Samaria (known by that name far longer than the other, the West Bank, bestowed on it via British imperialism only in the 20th century) with Fatah Arafatians, a real territorial compromise must be the answer with Damascus as well…not what an Arab petrodollar-greased American State Department and now Dubya himself dictate.

Whether Syria plays ball with Dubya’s deal to cut ties with Iran is not the point...turning Israel into America’s puppet is. And what happens after the forced full Israeli withdrawal when Assad later restores ties with the mullahs?

Israel is stuck with a far worse version of its evacuation from Gaza. It’s all down hill into Israel proper for thousands of Syrian tanks...for starters.

Nations who repeatedly attack neighbors over decades from territory often end up losing such territory. That’s how Syria lost the Golan. Long ago, Israel offered to return to Damascus far more than it deserves on the Golan Heights…indeed, almost all of it. Both Assads rejected this.

But Syria must never again be able to shell Israeli farms and such from the Heights, nor control Israel’s key water sources. Again, what would America do with such a rejectionist enemy?

Well, for starters, they used to speak Spanish in what Dubya now calls his ranch. And it was he himself who earlier said that some Texas driveways are longer than Israel’s width.

The decisions made by voters in both America and Israel over the next months will be extremely important ones. Voters from both nations must elect leaders who will not be manipulated by anyone when it comes down to the vital interests of their countries--regardless of the consequences.

And an Israel which can fit about thirty-four times just into Dubya’s home state of Texas has a lot more to worry about here than over three hundred million Americans.

John, Sarah, & The A Word

Brushing It Aside Won’t Make It Go Away…The A Word


by Gerald A. Honigman


So, there I was on an early Sunday morn, filleting some recently caught fish I’d never tried eating before.


To keep myself entertained while performing the least enjoyable part of my piscatorial experience, I put Fox News on (which I often do whether I agree with them or not).


Add to this the facts that I recently received a disturbing article from my cousin about some of Governor Palin’s alleged policies regarding rape victims in Alaska as well as postcards from the Democratic campaign folks warning about what lies ahead regarding abortion rights if the Republicans won in November, and…well…that’s what this article is about.


Fox was interviewing a lady who was a former Hillary supporter who now was a big McCain fan. The topic was the big drop McCain has seen lately in prospective women voters.


As the conversation progressed, a number of issues came up, but the economy, of course, was the number one culprit.


While I don’t doubt that that’s on everyone’s mind right now (including myself), it was apparent--at least to me--that there was indeed something else that would not be touched with even a ten foot pole


Look…I have very mixed feelings about abortion. I don’t like it, but I believe that there are certain circumstances which may make it a decision that should not be imposed from the outside. There’s no need to rehash repeated old arguments here.


But, just as Prohibition didn’t stop people from drinking alcohol, trying to legally impose morality on the abortion issue will go the same route. Only this time, girls will be forced back into real or virtual alleyways into the hands of butchers with hangers again. A twelve-year old raped by her brother, father, or whomever should have a better choice…etc., and so forth.


While this may not be an issue for older women who were/are especially Hillary supporters, this is certainly an issue for the younger ones…big time.


What McCain doesn’t need right now is yet another excuse for newly registered younger voters--college coeds, for example--not to vote for him. Most vote Democratic anyway. I did…wanted alternative energy options, more serious concern over environmental and conservation issues, and so forth. I still do.


So, my advice to McCain and Palin over these crucial remaining few weeks…


Spend a lot more time focusing on that Independent vote out there.


Many folks are fed up with both of the main political parties and recognize that there’s enough blame to go around on many of the main issues which implicates them all.


The Independent vote (mine included) may very likely make the difference in this election--which, by all calculations, should have been an easy Democratic victory.


McCain’s reputation as true “maverick,” able to work with the other side to get things done, is indeed well earned and gained him problems with fellow Republicans as well as praise from those who are now badmouthing him. Indeed, he is probably the best pick Republicans could have had this time around precisely because of this.


It must therefore be made very clear that a McCain-Palin Administration will not mean that their own (and those of some of their key supporters) theological or other ideology on the highly controversial issue of abortion will be rammed down everyone else’s throats. If this is not done, and it’s simply swept under the rug as was done on Fox’s Sunday interview, the Democrats may very well win on this issue alone. That’s how volatile and important it is.


While millions of young women--and men--may be willing to spread blame around for the economic crisis we now face, they won’t be so understanding on the A word.

Sarah, Israel, And The Big (not so bad) Wolf

Sarah, Israel, And The Big (not so bad) Wolf…

by Gerald A. Honigman


Recently, I received an e-mail alerting me to some nine hundred rabbis endorsing Senator Obama for President. These are largely representative of the far too many Jews who wouldn’t vote for a Republican if he (or she) was the Messiah.


True, Senator McCain’s ticket also has some problems associated with it, but Obama’s choice of far too many anti-Semitic/anti-Zionist close friends and associates sends an alarming message--his apparent key advisors on the Middle East as well.


So, let’s turn our attention now to the lady whom McCain has selected as his potential Vice President, Alaska’s Governor Sarah Palin. Please follow my message--from heart to heart--to a fellow fisherperson...


“Governor Palin, there’s much about you that I find refreshing.


No, I don’t agree with you on every issue (so, you’re no different than any other candidate), but my heart tells me that your heart is basically in the right place--and I’m accused of being too often cranially guided.


Having said this, please permit me to offer some advice in what will probably be a close election this November…and, right now, you guys are behind.


I am a former Democrat, now Independent, swaying heavily towards Senator McCain. There are many others out there like me--and we may very well determine the outcome of this election.


Let me begin by telling you a little story that you, as a fellow fisherperson, should especially be able to appreciate.


About ten years ago, my son Jonathan and myself were coming back from a fishing trip here in Florida.


As we were unloading our small boat, along came a commercial crabber with his crates loaded to their tops, crab legs hanging out of the slots. He then struck up a conversation with me.


A number of years earlier, I was part of a movement here to have red drum (“redfish”) declared a sports rather than a commercial species. Ever since New Orleans’ blackened redfish phenomenon, reds had been drastically plummeting in numbers--breeders disappearing before new generations could be produced.


The new law that was passed permitted the rebound of the redfish population, ensuring stocks into the future.


Now back to the crabber…


He proceeded to complain to me about how difficult it was to catch all the crabs he wanted to now--he with his many crates filled to the top and so forth.


The problem: Those damned environmentalists! Those reds were now eating too many of “his” crabs!!!!


I was proud of myself that day…I kept my cool.


I explained to him that long before man lived in Florida, reds and blue claw crabs lived in happy abundance…G_d working through nature creating predator-prey relationships to strike just the right balance.


I asked Mr. Crabber if he thought that maybe thousands of folks filling crates just like him might have something to do with the crab shortage.


Daggers came out of his eyes…


So Madam Governor, what does this have to do with you?


Many folks--Independents like myself certainly included--are sickened by the wholesale slaughter of wolves going on right now in your state--being shot from the air, etc. and so forth. Your opponents are now making plenty of capital on this--sending out your record here in letters and postcards to millions of voters.


Yours is the one state in America where this noble predator--in balance with various prey populations far longer than man’s presence--is not endangered.


Like the crabber blaming redfish, Alaskan hunters blame everything but man’s own various adverse activities for their own declining prey populations. I remember a similar picture in National Geographic showing Japanese fishermen herding dolphins into the shallows so that they could beat them to death for allegedly eating too much fish…while Japan has huge nets killing anything and everything in their paths.


As a person who prides herself in bucking special interests and such, please understand that millions of Americans have become more ecologically tuned in--and not just from your opponents’ camp. Republican President Theodore Roosevelt, in many ways, can be seen as one of the fathers of the modern conservation movement. As many other hunters and fishermen have done, he too became tuned in to nature’s essential balance.


Mrs. Palin, I’m asking you, from one religious person to another, to please rethink your support of such things as the wolf slaughter in your state. It will cost your ticket many votes it cannot afford to lose, and it goes against what I believe to be the good heart and sensible mind that you indeed possess.”


Now folks, it’s true that when asked such things as if she believed in a ‘two state solution,’ I would have preferred that Palin had answered the moderator in the recent debate that...


Yes, I do--but you really mean a three state solution...Jordan is already an Arab state which was created in 1922 and now sits on some 80% of the original 1920 borders of ‘Palestine.’ And, futher more, Madam Moderator, I believe you and your colleagues are asking the wrong people such questions. You need to ask the Arab leaders to state clearly their intentions on this crucial issue...not merely accept one thing they say to the West while winking and stating quite a different thing to their own people.


In fairness, none of the Presidential candidates--let alone others--have responded so. But the liklihood of getting a fairer hearing out of a McCain-Palin ticket seems a far safer bet than the crew of advisors and such Obama has lined up right now.
