HITLER'S "MEIN KAMPF" IS TAKING TURKEY BY STORM. By Maximillien de Lafayette. 89. Adolf Hitler’s "Mein Kampf", which was and still is a bestseller in many Arab and Muslim countries, has become a national bestseller in Turkey. In the past,  "Mein Kampf " has been translated into Arabic several times and was widely read in Iraq, Lebanon and Syria. The book was also distributed by Palestinians in Ramallah and Al-Shuruq which are under the control of the Palestinian authority. In 1998, the book became a national bestseller  in the Palestinian territories.

PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY  OFFICIALLY TEACHES THE HATRED OF JEWS IN THEIR SCHOOLS. By Maximillien de Lafayette. 90. Five months ago, a consortium of Arab media and TV networks produced and aired a multi mini series documentary: "The Conspiracy of the Zionists" which depicted the Jews as "Blood Drinkers" and "Manipulators of World Economy". The show was aired on almost all major Arab television stations. It was produced by businessmen and activists from Syria, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Amal Party and Shiites from Southern Lebanon. The infamous documentary had one single purpose: To portray the Jews as the enemy of the Muslims and Allah. Outrageous frames and passages from the documentary showed  "devilish Jewish Creatures" meeting around a table and discussing how they were planning on kidnapping Christian children to sacrifice them and to drink their blood....Read the full article.

A fundamental theological tenet inculcated by the PA media is that Jews -- even as individuals -- have no right to exist. By Maximillien de Lafayette. 91.  PA leadership mandates the killing of Jews - up to and including genocide - as a religious obligation. Palestinian Media Watch presented a report in the Knesset detailing ongoing officially-taught hatred of Jews and Israel in the Palestinian Authority. The report, entitled "Kill a Jew - Go To Heaven," documents the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) ideology of hatred of Jews and Israel that is currently being taught in its schools and on its media. The report shows how the PA leadership mandates the killing of Jews - up to and including genocide - as a religious obligation. The report notes, "The murder of Jews is presented not only as beneficial to Muslims and Arabs, but as necessary for all humankind...Read the full article.

PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY PERPETRATES EVILS IN THE NAME OF GOD. A dance segment on PA TV, filled with hatred for Israel, accuses the Jewish State of torturing and burning Arabs in the name of God - despite Abu Mazen's promise to remove such incitement. By Maximillien de Lafayette. 93. Mahmood Abbas has assured Prime Minister Ariel Sharon that,  he will remove any and all materials which advocate the hatred of the Jews. But his promises are smoke in a heavy wind. Statements of hate and annihilation of the Jewish people are constantly broadcasted on the Palestinian-Arab television networks and affiliates. The most alarming display of hate was illustrated via a broadcasted song which encouraged the Palestinians to hate the Jewish people and accused the Israelis of killing, torturing, burning and exterminating Arabs, children and women in the name of God...Read the full article.

THE BAD JUDGMENT OF THE CIA: HIRING UNQUALIFIED AND TRUSTING UNRELIABLE ARAB AND MUSLIM  INFORMERS. By Maximillien de Lafayette. 94. And now, the big question IS: CAN WE TRUST THE CIA? And the answer is YES, despite the CIA ad infinitum failures. We have to remind ourselves that we quite often hear about the miserable failures of the agency, and almost rarely, about its successes. After all, the CIA is in the business of "Don't talk, don't say a word, and deny everything."...Read the full article.

Right now, the CIA has important, exciting jobs for US citizens, especially those with foreign language skills. YAH RIGHT!! By Maximillien de Lafayette. 95. The CIA would exclusively hire those who belong to their inner circle. Politics play major role in selecting and hiring applicants.  Strangely enough, our sources tell us that CIA was very reluctant to hire expert linguists for lack of funds. Even, when applicants were extremely qualified, hiring authorities at the CIA turned them down. There is a strong belief that CIA would exclusively hire those who belong to their inner circle. Politics play major role in selecting and hiring applicants. Many qualified persons in the past applied for linguists and languages experts jobs and were ignored. The fact is if you are not "one of them" with strong recommendations from Washington, your application and qualifications will end up in a waste basket. So stop kidding yourself...Read the full article.

Galloway vs. Hitchens: Western Civilization Wins: Galloway: Leftist or Islamist? By Cinnamon Stillwell, World Jewish News Agency Columnist.  97.When British Respect Party MP George Galloway spoke before the U.S. Senate Subcommittee regarding allegations that he'd personally profited from the UN oil-for-food scandal, he was hailed as a hero to the American anti-war movement. Galloway's defiance in the face of the U.S. government thrilled his fans on the left, who probably didn't much care whether or not he'd been cited six times as an oil contract beneficiary by the former Iraqi Minister of Oil...Read the full article.

A Debate of Biblical Proportions. An Austrian archeologist claims an 'Israelite house' found in Egypt proves the story of the Bible's Exodus story. By Maximillien de Lafayette.98. An eminent Austrian archeologist has caught the world's attention with the discovery of an Israelite house in Egypt revealing the marks of an ancient Israelite dwelling. This could be the possible proof of the Exodus story from the Bible. The archaeological discovery is creating a buzz worldwide. But, Canadian biblical scholars are discounting the statements of the Austrian archaeologist, arguing that the placement of a front door in the "isolated shack" of the house is "completely wrong" for an Israelite's home of that era...Read the full article.

AMERICA'S 100 GREATEST JEWISH WOMEN. BY MAXIMILLIEN de LAFAYETTE. 101-108. We did not write about them and  print their photos, because their husbands or fiancés bought them a $4 million diamond ring or a $140,000 Christian Dior's wedding gown and became a celebrity overnight! We did, because, meaningfully, they contributed to our society, to arts, to humanities, to education, to science and world peace. They are here, not because, they threw the best parties in the Hamptons, Ibiza or Malibu, or because Joan Rivers said so, the National Enquirer gossiped about them, or because, they know the difference between Calvados, Chateau D'Yquem and root bear. They are on our list, because, they brought warmth to our families, light to our eyes, tender whispers and gentle affection to our hearts, and....because they are the best in their fields! We selected them, because they have heart, brains, presence, principles, culture, remarkable accomplishments...Read the full article.

L.A.'s Thwarted Terror Spree. By. Dr. Daniel Pipes. 115. The Jewish High Holidays this year fall in early October, and that’s when a massacre was planned against two Los Angeles synagogues, as well as other targets, according to an indictment just handed down against four young Muslim men.

American Jewish Leaders and the Gaza Withdrawal. By Rachel Neuwirth. World Jewish News Agency Columnist.116-119. American Jewish leaders have a dual responsibility concerning the removal of Jews from Gaza. As loyal Americans they should be mindful of how this action affects American security interests and also of the American attempt to promote democracy and the rule of law in the Middle East. As Jews they should know and respect their religious heritage which spans four thousand years from the time of Abraham and is also the mother religion for two billion Christians...Read the full article.

INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY OF THE ISRAELI AND HEBRAIC ART. HOW TO DEFINE JEWISH ART?  WHO IS AND WHO IS NOT A JEWISH ARTIST? By Maximillien de Lafayette. 120-125. Defining what  Jewish art is and who is a Jewish artist is more problematic and subjective than defining art itself. Jewish artists from all eras and various nations contributed ad infinitum to various and multiple schools, styles, genres and aspects of classical, abstract and modern art.  In many instances, no Judaic or Hebraic artistic creativity was ever associated with the nature, the theme and message of their work. Add to the fact that, many non Jewish artists from all centuries mirrored and depicted memorable events from the history of Israel, the Bible and modern Jewish conflicts around the globe...Read the full article

A Synagogue or a bathroom?  By Paula R. Stern, World Jewish News Agency Columnist.126-127. It’s hard to believe that only a few weeks ago, I had an idea to try to save a synagogue  in Gush Katif and bring it to Maaleh Adumim. So much has happened since then, so much destroyed, so much lost, and so many lives changed. The physical communities of Gush Katif have been erased; the synagogues destroyed by Palestinians mobs; and worst of all are the continued efforts to break the spirit of the people who were expelled from Gush Katif and the Northern Shomron...Read the full article

The Anniversary of Yitzhak Rabin’s Death to be Again Commemorated, But Why? By Dr. Jerome S. Kaufman, World Jewish News Agency Columnist. 128. Much to my surprise I just received a promotional package from the new Consul General in Chicago, Barukh Binah. The package contained material extolling the supposed virtues of Yitzhak Rabin. I was advised to use these materials to help commemorate the life of Rabin, what with the anniversary of his death in November. Many of us, historically aware of the life of Yitzhak Rabin, take a completely different view of what, in fact, Rabin accomplished...Read the full article

EXPLODING THE MYTH ABOUT RABIN. By Ben Shapiro.128. Eight years ago this week, the fate of Israel was sealed. On Nov. 4, 1995, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by Yigal Amir. The murder was tragic, not just because Rabin suffered an untimely death but because Rabin became sacrosanct.  The illusory image of Rabin as the tough sabra willing to negotiate with the Arabs, as the invincible general turned peacemaker, as the tolerant, wise leader of the Jewish state, was forever enshrined in the public consciousness. Rabin's political inheritance, the Oslo Accords, became unassailable. On the anniversary of his death, it is now more necessary than ever to explode the myth of Yitzhak Rabin. As long as Rabin's myth exists, it will be impossible to move beyond his failed policies: negotiation with terror, persecution of the Israeli right wing, and apologies for Jewish existence...Read the full article

GUSH KATIF VIEWPOINT: HOME. By Rachel Saperstein, World Jewish News Agency Columnist. 129. Gush Katif folks were taken on a tour of Jerusalem’s Yemin Moshe neighborhood one evening. They walked through the cobble-stoned streets and listened to the tales of this charming area – home to artists and the wealthy – many of whom use their beautiful homes as their Israeli retreat. For the homeless of Gush Katif, wandering the streets brought back our own plight. Five weeks ago we, too, were the owners of beautiful homes on large plots of grass and flower gardens. We were not wealthy, simply dignified owners of a place called ‘home’. We peered through uncurtained windows and watched families eating at kitchen tables or gathered near a television set, the comfortable simplicity of what people do in their homes, and for us… only a memory...Read the full article

JEWISH GUTS BY MAXIMILLIEN de LAFAYETTE. 130. INTERNET HAGANAH: JUST PERFECT FOR THE CAUSE. There is a wonderful new group of Jewish cyber-warriors who are fighting the fascist Left and the Islamofascists on line, and are calling themselves Internet Haganah.  Who are those people? The name Haganah is Hebrew and means defense. The accent is on the last syllable. The original Haganah began as a civilian militia that sought to defend Jewish communities in British-occupied Palestine from attacks by neighboring Arabs. The Haganah was not the only such organization. In contrast to these other organizations, the Haganah was guided by a principle of Havlagah or restraint. For Internet Haganah, this means restricting ourselves to lawful activity. The original Haganah is now better known as the Israel Defense Forces. What is Internet Haganah? Internet Haganah is a global open-source intelligence network dedicated to confronting internet use by Islamist terrorist organizations, their supporters, enablers and apologists. Internet Haganah is also a grass-roots activist organization which encourages businesses to not provide services to Islamic extremists...Read the full article

A Loss of More Than Just Possessions By Rabbi Shea Hecht, World Jewish News Agency Columnist and Dean of  Hadar Hatorah School for College Youth 132. They saw each other at the airport and sat next to each other on the airplane. Their destination was California. Being that they were seat mates, they started to talk.  "Which city are you traveling to?" he asked.  "To Los Angeles" she replied. "To join my family. They went on an earlier flight and now I'm joining them. What's your destination?" she questioned. "Los Angeles, too" he answered. "Our home was destroyed, and we don't have anywhere to go right now. I'm trying to make arrangements for a temporary place to live."  "Our home was also destroyed," she said, visibly upset. "I didn't want to abandon my home. I lived in it all my life. Our business had to be abandoned, too. I was told I had no choice; I was forced to leave...Read the full article

On Ants, Grasshoppers, and Safety Nets By Dr. Ilil Arbel, World Jewish News Agency Columnist 134-135.  Finally rescued! The ordeal lasted five years. During the time I worked as a telemarketer I had a conversation with my cousin from Israel, a professor, art historian, and generally a brilliant man. We were brought up together and we communicate very well, but here I found that I simply could not explain to him why despite having a Ph.D., many skills, years of experience, and no vices other than drinking coffee, I could not get a job in my own field and I was nearly in the street again and again, drowning in debts. He argued that in Israel it was not any better. There is no money, people are often in trouble, and the State had fewer resources than the US. The discussion and comparisons went on and on until I finally said, “Would you say that you could find yourself some day looking for a job in telemarketing? Read the full article
