Hillary and change

VOS IZ NEIAS: (Yiddish: "What's News"): Brooklyn, NY -

Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY - Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign descended on Brooklyn, ahead of today's crucial primary, to turn out the Jewish vote. But before they could take to the streets, accompanied by some of the leading figures in the haredi community, they had to modify their approach to appeal to the ultra-Orthodox constituency. First, female campaign staffers had to be sent to the back of the line of marchers so that there would not be any untoward mixing of the sexes. And then volunteers wearing Hebrew Hillary pins removed the blue Stars of David stuck on their signs, lest they be confused with Israeli flags, a definite no-no in the anti-Zionist Satmar enclave. New York politicians and Satmar leaders then walked through the streets of the Williamsburg neighborhood urging residents to back Clinton. "Her track record shows that she has been very good to the Jewish community and that's why we support her," said Rabbi David Niederman, president of the United Jewish Organizations of Williamsburg. He listed her work providing help to large families with special needs and funding to protect Jewish institutions following September 11 among other issues that gained her the community's favor.

Why is there a picture of Israel hanging in the Palestinian Central Council in Amman?

Is America aiding terrorists?

Sat Dec 8, 8:34 AM ET
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli minister on Saturday rebuffed criticism by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice of Israel's plan to build new homes on occupied land in the Jerusalem area, saying nothing should prevent the project.
Rice, who masterminded last week's Annapolis conference to press for an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord before the Bush administration leaves office, on Friday criticized the planned construction, saying it "doesn't help to build confidence."

Where are the public censures by Condi Rice concerning Abbas's aiding and promoting terrorism? The official PLA media outlets continue to air programs that teach and incite hatred as noted by Palestinian Media Watch.

In the holy Road Map the Arabs were supposed to stop terrorism as described below:

"In Phase I, the Palestinians immediately undertake an unconditional cessation of violence according to the steps outlined below; "....

"At the outset of Phase I:
Palestinian leadership issues unequivocal statement reiterating Israel’s right to exist in peace and security and calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire to end armed activity and all acts of violence against Israelis anywhere. All official [I guess unofficial Palestinian institution can can terrorism] Palestinian institutions end incitement against Israel. "

Just recently the PA via the official Al Aksa Martyrs murdered an Israeli citizen, Ido Zoldan. Dr. Condi Rice was very quiet about that as was Olmert. Did the murder of an innocent man "help build confidence"? As noted on Daled Amos, Abbas the President of the PA continues to allow the Al Aksa Brigades, which are Foriegn Terrorist Organizations as declared by the US Department of State, to operate and not be dismantled. Then they go and give Abbas more ammunition. In addition they supply Abbas with armored personnel carriers, US dollars and military training. So is the US by dint of this aiding terrorists?

A misleading caption

A sick Palestinian baby lies at the European hospital in the Gaza Strip December 2, 2007. Palestinians suffering serious illnesses have long travelled from Gaza to nearby Israeli hospitals for treatments unavailable at facilities in the territory, which is home to 1.5 million people and was occupied by Israel for 38 years until 2005. However Israel has tightened border restrictions since Hamas Islamists seized control of the coastal enclave in June. It also prevents access to Gaza by sea or air and has ensured a border crossing into Egypt is mostly shut -- so hundreds cannot get the care that could save lives. REUTERS/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa

Another way to slam Israel. The caption does not mention that this baby or any other baby is sick and Israel tightening the borders (Because the Arabs continually try to smuggle bombs across the border and have used ambulances to transport suicide bombers and bombs) and a specific baby or person is dieing. The caption just speaks in generalizations.

This article and all the similar pictures should appear in the Arab newspapers and the Arabs should have demonstrations in the streets protesting Hamas, Islamic Jihad, etc. because liability lies with them. If they'd stop the kassams and the suicide bombers then I'm more than confident Israel would make a security-based decision and loosen the borders.
