"Whoopee" Goldberg Is Full Of It
Goldberg had the stupidity and audacity to bellow that the Holocaust was "not about race," after Hitler systematically murdered six million Jewish men, woman, and children just because they were Jews, which he believed was an inferior race to the Aryan nation.
"Hitler promoted a racial ideology that identified Whites (he called 'Aryans') as superior and everyone else as inferior. Since Jews in Europe were considered White he classified them as a different race – a race of people that he said was not only inferior but 'dangerous' and needed to be destroyed." - Museum of Tolerance
Instead of Goldberg being completely ashamed of herself for her racist, anti-Semitic remarks desecrating the memories of millions of innocent people genocidally murdered, the narcissistic Goldberg is angry that she got suspended for a measly two weeks.
Whoopi Goldberg is a disgrace and has-been, and should not only be wholly condemned, but fired and put into the trash-bin of Hollywood history! ;-)

And There Came A New King Who Knew Not Joseph
As we commemorate Passover, we remember that:
In Egypt, the Jews rose to the highest ranks, with Joseph being second only to the Pharaoh, and “Israel settled in the land of Egypt in the region of Goshen; they acquired property in it and they were fruitful and multiplied greatly.” (Genesis 47:27) But then: “A new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.” (Exodus 1:8) Similarly, in Europe, the Jews had risen to the highest ranks of society, they were free and prospered. They prospered and thrived religiously, and built synagogues and yeshivas to worship and learn in. Moreover, the Jews thought they were Germans (and other European nationalities), like everyone else, and that they were fundamentally safe. That is, until there arose a “new king,” Adolf Hitler (may his name be cursed forever), “who knew not Joseph.”What will happen in America that we all love--will the pendulum swing once again to hate and anti-Semitism, where there comes a new king that does not know Joseph?

Persuasion x 3
- Ethos: Appeals to a sense of ethics, morals, and character.
- Logos: Appeals to a sense of logic, reason, and rationality.
- Pathos: Appeals to a sense of emotion, empathy, and passion.
I don't know about most people, but I don't get convinced easily.
You need to show me, prove it to me, or convince me it's right.
Some others, and I don't know why--it's like you can sell them the Brooklyn Bridge, as they say.
I think that's dangerous!
Without critical thinking and evaluation, people can get led astray to do the wrong things...a perfect example is Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler (may his memory be forever cursed).
Hitler appealed to the Germans people at the time:
- Emotionally to bring them back from the loss, destruction, and destitution that World War I inflicted and of course, to scapegoat the Jews, Gypsies, and political opponents and send them to the death camps.
- Logically, that they were a strong and powerful people, the "Aryan nation," and they therefore, deserved to conquer and rule Europe and the World.
- Ethically--let's just say, this one didn't really apply to Hitler, probably the most evil and destructive man this world has ever known, except that even Hitler tried to fool his people falsely proclaiming, "G-d is with us!"
It's a war of good over evil out there, and we need to make our arguments to influence and persuade for the good, but we also have to be careful not to let others, who are not so good, manipulate us for their own selfish and depraved ends.
Ethos, Logos, and Pathos--potent tools or weapons in the direction of mankind and civilization. ;-)

Hitler Is Kaput
And he said that some people say that he won!
He wanted to destroy the Jews and he did manage to kill 6,000,000 of us!
He wanted to conquer Europe (and the world) and he sparked a world war that killed between 50 million and 80 million people, spread fascism, and Germany still today remains the economic powerhouse of Europe.
But killing people, spreading evil, and causing world war is not the sign of a winner by any means--quite the contrary!
And I replied to my friend:
Hitler and the Nazis are gone, dead, and destroyed, and we are here--what a miracle that from the ashes and depths of the Holocaust, the Israelites were redeemed after 2,000 years of exile--and just as the prophecy foretold, Israel was reborn, lives and thrives!
The sick hatred, evil, and fascist values of Hitler and his Third Reich Germany are gone into the dustbin of history and moreover, their very mention or memory evokes disdain and contempt as being the antiChrist and archetype of evil in the world.
Over the weekend, I watched the movie, The Zookeepers Wife and it was terrific.
While the Nazi's perpetrated every conceivable evil on mankind, the righteous among the nations still managed to stand up in the face of evil and save innocent lives, and even when it put their own lives and that of their loved ones in jeopardy--that is true goodness!
The movie showed not only the Zookeeper and his wife who saved over 300 Jews during the Holocaust, but their young son yelled out after the miserable Nazi and said, "Hitler is kaput" or Hitler is finished!
Yes, Hitler and his evil cohorts are destroyed, but in every generation, there are new threats of evil and hate that arise, and to those, we still must bravely and with steadfast determination and strength confront--and those must be made kaput as well. ;-)

The Great Apartheid Ruse
Israel is no more apartheid that any country or society in the world that has guards and erected walls to secure their inhabitants--from armed bandits, illegal immigrants, marauding armies, and dangerous terrorists.
From the castles across the European landscape to the wall around Vatican City, the U.S. border fence, and even the Great Wall of China--every country seeks border and homeland security!
Keeping out bad people who seek to inflict harm on others is not segregation, but appropriate and common sense self-defense, especially in Israel's case where Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and other avowed terrorist organizations and their sponsors seek not peaceful coexistence, but the annihilation of the Jewish people and Israel.
From the Iranian building of nuclear ballistic missiles to Hezbollah and Hamas raining missiles on Israeli population centers, from the building of terror tunnels to abduct and attack Israelis, from homicide bombings in discotheques and on buses to shootings, knifings, and vehicular rammings, the crazed hatred and genocidal ambitions of the anti-Semites does not end.
Nothing would make every Jew in the world happier than a genuine and secure peace with their neighbors, but when every peace deal that shares between the peoples is rejected by those that seek not compromise and living side-by-side in peace, but rather to throw every last Jew into the Sea then the Free Palestine movement under all it's guises is nothing more than a very deadly wolf in sheep's clothing.
- Listen to their chants of "From the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea, Palestine Will be Free."
- Read their signs that say, "Our revenge will be the laughter of our children."
- Watch their actions: teaching little children to utterly hate and arbitrarily kill Jews.
That NOT an anti-apartheid movement and a desire for peaceful coexistence, but rather maniacal ambitions to maim, murder, and take everything bar none.
Those who march, chant, and support Free Palestine, Israel Apartheid Week and the BDS Movement have shown themselves the true haters and supporters of terrorism, and usurping a mantel of legitimacy from those who have really struggled for freedom and peace is the lie and ruse of the century, but very reminiscent of murderous Jew-haters from Amalek, Haman, and Adolf Hitler from the days of old to our times. ;-)

The World's Most Dangerous Game Of Chicken
Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal does a nice job explaining in simple terms why Iran can't be allowed to get the bomb--not now and not in 10-15 years.
Iran is not playing by the same rules as the West!
And like when playing chicken, the one who is the chicken and tries to simply avoid confrontation through appeasement and concessions--they end up driving off the road and are the losers.
And one who is the hawk--willing to not only keep on pursuing their goals, but also to actually either use it or to stop it's use by any and all means--chances to be the winner.
However, the problem with nukes is that when someone is crazy enough to actually use them, then millions of decent, peaceful-loving people are the real losers.
And like with Hitler (may his name be cursed) who made known in "Mein Kampf" his crazed ambitions for world domination and blatantly murdered millions...
Iran, the world's leading state-sponsor of terrorism and human rights offender today, continues to boldly chant "Death to America" and threatens to "annihilate" the State of Israel, while pursuing nukes, ballistic missiles, and a Shiite Caliphate.
This is perhaps the world's most dangerous "game" of chicken, and the cost of being wrong, never higher.

Denouncing Anti-Semitism
Heroic remarks from NYC Councilman Greenfield after pro-Palestinian activists protested the commemoration of 1.1 million people murdered in Auschwitz concentration camp in the Holocaust.
Calling a spade-a-spade...anti-semitism is once again alive and well due to acceptance and even promotion of anti-Semitism/Zionism, and unfortunately, it some cases, it seems like it's coming from the top-down!
The words and actions are fanning anti-Semitic terror attacks around the globe and even setting the stage for a regional war in the Middle East.
What a shame that we need to remind some of the First Amendment of the Constitution that guarantees freedom of religion, whatever your practices.
Protestant pastor, Martin Niemoller, famously said:
"First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me."
I believe, I know, that there are many true decent human beings and real leaders out there that will speak out against the very ugly head of blind hatred and bigotry in this world.
May G-d show mercy on all his creatures and instill love, tolerance, and genuine respect for all races, colors, and religions.

Fighting Someone Who Doesn't Care
This comes to the point of the whole matter, which is how do you fight an adversary that just doesn't give a [you know what]?
If one side is arguing what's right based on international laws, mores, and the ethics of human rights and freedom, how does that stack up with an adversary that disseminates misinformation [oh, are those our troops on the ground?] and thumbs their nose at the world to get what they want?
Maybe fighting fair is wonderful from a legal standpoint, but it sure looks challenging on the ground.
Putin is daring anyone to do anything...heck, he's got thermonuclear ICBMs and a veto at the U.N. Security Council.
BTW, if a security council member is the one doing something wrong, why in those matters, do they still get a veto???
Anyway, this is a very dangerous game of cat and mouse, and if everyone fought this way, the doomsday clock would be ticking very close to midnight, indeed.
Many times in history, a Goliath has swung a big ugly sword, but even a David--and we are not a David, but a world superpower--came to the fight with a sligshot and still won.
Notice though, David still came to the fight!
We can win by doing the right thing, but we cannot run away, because as Hitler showed us--appeasement does not work!
Give a finger and next goes the hand, arm, and torso.
Now already are reports that Putin is threatening to derail the P5+1 negotiations with Iran as well.
Yesterday, I read in Businessweek about overspending, that it's better to get a haircut now, than have a beheading later.
Perhaps, this applies to national security matters as well?
We can't be the policeman/woman of the world, but Snowden is snug in "Mother Russia" and now so is Crimea.

Eyes Wide Shut
It is the first and foremost duty of every nation to protect its
people and safeguard the values upon which it stands.
Therefore, as I watch the news unfold every day, I am left
incredulous at some of our actions that seem to defy this basic notion.
Maybe, I am not seeing the bigger picture, but…
A dozen years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks by “fundamentalists,”
“extremists,” and our declared “War on Terrorism,” we, by our actions, seem to
be supporting (tacitly and at times more overtly) those very same
extremists that seek our destruction.
Here are some examples:
1) IRAN – Relations thaw and we begin reconciliation with arch
enemy Iran (the #1 world sponsor of terrorism) and consider removing sanctions
and even considering to allow nuclear capability to remain Iran leaving long
time allies Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE scratching their heads, and
Iranians still shouting “Death to America!”
2) SYRIA – We ostensibly support and arms rebels in Syria, yet
these rebels fighting Assad (who is no great character himself and allegedly uses
chemical weapons on his own people) are aligned with large elements of
extremists to include designated terror organization Hezbollah fighting in the
thousands in Syria, as well as arch-enemy Al Qaeda!
3) EGYPT - The Egyptian military overthrows Morsi and the fundamentalist
Muslim Brotherhood (aligned with designated terrorist organization Hamas) and the
military resumes protection of non-Muslims, including the Christian community,
yet we penalize Egypt and withhold military aid to those who just reestablished
secular government.
4) IRAQ – We overthrow the Sunni-government of Saddam Hussein,
a counterweight (albeit a ruthless dictator) to Iran’s fundamentalist Shiite
leadership, and thereby create a virtual greater Shiite Kingdom in the Middle
East, and then we pull out our military abandoning gains that were hard fought
with the blood of our military men and women and gold from our national treasury.
5) LIBYA – We provide scant support for the overthrow of
terrorist dictator Gaddafi, and when fundamentalists attack and kill our
Ambassador and others in Benghazi, our military response is muted and the
attackers continue to roam free, rather than be speedily tracked down “dead or
alive.”
We are a principled nation based on democracy, diversity, and
human rights, and we have led the world in greatness towards those ideals.
We can win the peace through the righteousness of our cause,
but as with Hitler, there is no placating avowed enemies of the ideals of
freedom.
Why abandon longtime friends and allies, and coddle terrorists
and those that seek the destruction of our nation and way of life?
"All that is needed for the forces of evil to Triumph is for enough good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
