The Truth About the West Bank
In the video, Israel's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Danny Ayalon explains the historical facts relating to the Israeli Palestinian conflict. The video explains where the terms "West Bank", "occupied territories" and "67 Borders" originated and how they are incorrectly used and applied.
Shock Video: Taliban Execute Civilians with Machine Guns
Extreme Content Warning.
See: "Taliban Militants Killing Civilians at Pakistan Border."
We'll be seeing more reports like this as the U.S. and NATO rotate out of Afghanistan. Even at ten years in, there's much work to be done. The terrorists at the clip are likely Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a militant organization allied to Mullah Omar, who was the Supreme Leader in Afghanistan prior to the initial rout of the Taliban during Operation Enduring Freedom. Mullah Omar in turn was closely linked to Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda. This is why we fight.
Is Glenn Beck Kosher.............by Dan Friedman
"Beck regularly implies that a second Holocaust is in the making. Beck's concerns about the modern state of Israel appear to be sincere and heartfelt, but his presentation is problematic and inaccurate... Wouldn't it be more truthful to present Israel as secure and thriving nation which is fully aware of the challenges she faces?"
Glenn Beck was in Israel last week in preparation for his big August event in Jerusalem, “Restoring Courage.” That gave Israelis a close-up look of the man and, as Jews are wont to do, a good many evaluated his mission with a gimlet eye. From the perspective of religious Jews (rarely aired in the USA), the reviews are mixed. Their operating assumption is that since Beck is a devout Mormon he approaches Israel from a Mormon’s point of view. Not surprisingly, I could find no one who expressed the hysterical “anti-Semitic” charges leveled at Beck by America’s Reform and liberal Jewish communities. There is clearly a readiness to accept Beck as a friend. Nevertheless, a feeling of wariness is in the air among some Orthodox Israelis.
For a quick survey of what these Torah-observant Jews in Israel are saying about Beck, and why, click on the three headlines and read the stories below.
