New Video Shows Palestinians, Left Wing Activists Cutting Down Olive Trees

"A new video entitled "Harvesting Incitement" released by the Shomron Regional Council today on YouTube purports to show Palestinians and left-wing activists cutting down olive trees in a tactic meant to frame West Bank settlers as the perpetrators according to an unnamed witness in the video. "They cut down these trees to start a fire in the media or in their ovens. It's suspicious because it comes close to the Jewish settlements. They get close enough it becomes a security problem as well," the witness says."

Jordan: King Abdullah Losing the Support of Tribes? by Khaled Abu Toameh

EU Wins 'Nobel Appeasement Prize'

"There is nothing that I can think of that would recommend giving this honor to a bunch of unelected bureaucrats sitting in Brussels. All too often, the EU's foreign policy interventions have been marked by cowardice."

France as a Palestinian Camp - Old Fuhrer, New Furors

"More important is that French mainstream is also guilty for what is happening to the Jews. Palestinian terrorists are daily called "militants" and Flotilla jihadists are turned into "humanitarians" by the intellectuals, while the tribunals easily pardon the Jew-killers, who are always labelled as "youths". To quote Pierre-Andre Taguieff, they "dissolve the anti-Jewish acts in a rising tide of delinquency".

Do you Support Arab Progress? Then, Listen to Genuine Arab Liberals & Reject Guardian's Analysis

"If you want to know how best to advocate for hundreds of millions of Arabs – at least those genuinely supporting a real democratic "Spring" – you can begin by reviewing the Guardian's coverage of the region and adopting a political persuasion based on the complete opposite of what you read."

Washington Should Play the Funding Card on PA's UN bid

"UNESCO director Irina Bokova griped publicly last week about how much her organization is suffering from the U.S. funding cutoff sparked by its admission of "Palestine" last year. That provides Washington with real leverage to foil the Palestinian Authority's planned bid for UN General Assembly recognition as a nonmember observer state later this fall. Incredibly, however, the administration doesn't seem to be making use of it."

HuffPo has a terribly titled but very good article that sums up the huge amount of archaeological and historic evidence that Jews lived in ancient Israel, unlike how Arabs like to pretend they didn't.
