Latma: Muhammad aDura lives and other PR victories


Israel's report on the Al Durrah affair
Secondly, in places where Western film crews have to make use of local "fixers", they are vulnerable to the possibility that the fixer will find them situations and incidents that support his agenda, or that of his political chiefs. Sadly, journalists sometimes play along; they risk not being able to work at all if they don't. Add to this locally-appointed photographers, reporters, and editors working for international media agencies and you have a recipe for the potential twisting of news items to suit the agenda of terrorist organisations or anti-West regimes.
Arrest the Reporters Behind the al-Dura Hoax
This week we continued our demand that those at France 2 responsible for what has now been officially deemed a dangerous hoax, be placed under arrest and charged with all of the murders and damages this fabricated incitement has rendered. France 2 and Enderlin must have their press accreditation revoked and be thrown out of Israel.
Issuing the report is a major step forward in the battle for the truth but justice requires that those responsible for this massive blood libel must finally pay.
UK's Islamist problem
It should come as no surprise that random terrorist attacks have been, and will remain for the foreseeable future, MI5's greatest security threat.
"Londonistan" apparently originated as an appellation used in the 1990s by French security officials frustrated at British leaders' failure to confront in their capital the dangers of radical Islam, which, the officials feared, would spill over into France. Steven Simon, a former White House counterterrorism official, referred to London as "the Star Wars bar scene," that caters to all kinds of Islamist recruiters and fund-raisers for, and practitioners of, holy war.
Melanie Phillips: Denial is still a river in Londonistan
On one thing the British liberal class is certain – the hacking to death of a soldier in a Woolwich street yesterday had absolutely nothing to do with religion. The murderers screamed 'Allahu akhbar' as they tried to decapitate the soldier (a barbaric hallmark of Islamic terror), announced proudly that 'We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you' and quoted the Koran as religious justification.
Hand puppet's Holocaust joke on TV riles Chilean Jews
A Holocaust joke made on national television by comedian Elias Escobedo while voicing a hand puppet has the Jewish community of Chile considering a lawsuit.
Jewish leaders on Wednesday said they were considering the action against Escobedo for saying that "Jews burned better than wood" through the voice of his puppet, Murdock the Lizard. The leaders are expected to take part in a parliamentary meeting on the slur.
World Vision: Shurat HaDin responds
World Vision's latest attempts to whitewash its continued taxpayer funded support of a Gaza based organisation (the UAWC) with very close links to an illegal terrorist organisation (the PFLP) are episodes straight out of the TV series "Yes Minister".
They are characterised by a failure to confront the evidence, misrepresentation of the independence and expertise of "experts", use of straw horse arguments, reliance on hearsay from anonymous and unverifiable sources and attempts to confuse the issue.
PMW reports prompt question in Danish parliament about its funding of the PA VIDEO

Merkel Honored by EU Rabbis
German Chancellor Angela Merkel was honored on Wednesday by the Conference of European Rabbis (CER) for her support to the German Jewish community and her outspoken denunciation of anti-Semitism throughout Europe, the European Jewish Press (EJP) reported.
Kosovo unveiling Holocaust memorial
"This is the place where the last Synagogue of Kosovo stood until 1963," the plaque reads in Albanian, Hebrew, English and Serbian. "This plaque is raised in memory of Kosovo Jews that perished in Nazi camps during Holocaust. People of Kosovo will never forget them."
Muslim clerics visit Nazi death camp
Imams from the US and several Muslim countries are touring Poland this week to learn more about European Jewry.
Thirteen imams from Indonesia, the Palestinian Authority, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Bosnia and other Muslim lands, along with five American imams, visited the new Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw on Monday.
Google mulls buying Waze presaging bidding war
Google Inc., maker of the Android operating system, is considering buying Israeli map-software provider Waze Inc., setting up a possible bidding war with Facebook Inc., people familiar with the matter said.
Waze is fielding expressions of interest from multiple parties and is seeking more than $1 billion, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. The Palo Alto, California-based startup might also remain independent, instead seeking to raise a round of venture capital financing, the people said.
Technion Scientists Develop an Advanced Biological Computer
Technion scientists developed and constructed a molecular transducer, which is an advanced computing machine. This molecular computer was built entirely of biomolecules, such as DNA and enzymes that can manipulate genetic codes.
This unprecedented device can compute iteratively, namely, it uses the output as a new input for subsequent computations. Furthermore, it produces outputs in the form of biologically meaningful phenomena, such as resistance of bacteria to various antibiotics.
Did ancient beams discarded in Old City come from first and second temples?
The beams offer a fascinating historical record of Jerusalem, including Byzantine cathedrals, early Muslim houses of prayer and, not inconceivably, the ancient temple complex itself. But though there are signs of renewed interest in them — including an article this month in Biblical Archaeology Review, a US publication — the several hundred existing beams have never been subjected to a comprehensive academic study, and many are in danger of decay and disintegration.
