"GERMANY BESTOWS HIGHEST HONOR ON FANATICAL ISRAEL HATER
07.19.2009 | San Francisco Sentinal
BY BENJAMIN WEINTHAL
BERLIN - Horst Köhler, the president of the Federal Republic of Germany, issued on Thursday the ‘Federal Cross of Merit, first class,’ the most prestigious award in Germany, to Israeli attorney Felicia Langer, a vociferous critic of Israel, who lives in the city of Tübingen in the southern state of Baden-Württemberg.
Langer frequently compares Israel with apartheid in South Africa, and praised the anti-Semitic speech of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Geneva at the Durban II UN conference on racism. When asked about the award and her comparison between Israel and South African apartheid, she told the Jerusalem Post that the Federal Cross of Merit is a “recognition of my work,” and “what Israel is practicing in the occupied territories is apartheid.”

If you want to talk about apartheid, then I'm game:
ReplyDelete* "Infidels" can't even VISIT Mecca or Medina:

* When the Muslims ruled OUR land, Jews were forbidden from entering the tomb where OUR ancestors are buried in Hebron.
* When Muslims ruled OUR land, Jews were forbidden from visiting OUR holies site, the Temple Mount.
* In fact, when the Arabs occupied Judea, samaria,and Gaza in 1948, they ethnically cleansed ALL Jews, and now claim that Jews can't live here: THAT is apartheid.
* Everywhere in their lands, we find mosques built on the ruins of synagogues and churches:
The Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque are built on top of Judaism's holiest sites on the Temple Mount.
The mosque in Hebron is built on top of the burial site of Judaism's forefathers and mothers, the Tomb of the Patriarchs, in Hebron.
Just like the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus is built over a Byzantine church and to this day contains a shrine said to contain the head of John the Baptist.
Just like the Hagia Sophia church in Istanbul, which was made into a mosque and now a museum.
Just like the Arap Camii Mosque in Istanbul, which was originally the Dominican Church of Saint Paul.
Just like the Fethiye Mosque, Mosque of the Conquest, which was originally the Church of the Blessed Virgin, and was the seat of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate from 1455 to 1591 (after the church at St. Sophia had been converted into a mosque).
Just like the Imrahor Mosque, originally a church built in 1264, which was turned into a mosque in 1500.
Just like the Mosque of Roses, which was originally the Church of St. Theodosia.
Perhaps quid pro quo is the way to go- eh?
We won't allow that apartheid here in OUR land.
Give credit where credit is due :)
ReplyDelete"There is no doubt that Juan Bosch is one of the imposing, vital and most transcendental figures in the areas of art, thought and politics in the Dominican Republic," stated the Chief of State. In the words of Brazilian writer Frei Betto: the only thing a revolutionary cannot lose is morality and ethics, values that are, in his criteria, all the example left by Juan Bosch.
ReplyDeleteAnd for those who don't know of him:
On September 25, 1963, after only seven months in office, Bosch was overthrown in a coup led by Colonel Elías Wessin and replaced by a three-man military junta. Bosch went back to exile in Puerto Rico. Less than two years later, growing dissatisfaction generated another military rebellion on April 24, 1965, that demanded Bosch's restoration. The insurgents, commanded by Colonel Francisco Caamaño, removed the junta from power but on April 28, the United States, ostensibly to protect foreigners, intervened in the civil war and dispatched 42,000 troops to the island in Operation Power Pack, just as Caamaño (the leader of the Constitutionalists) said "war would be already over if the U.S. had not intervened." President Lyndon B. Johnson justified the invasion based on fears that the Dominican Republic was turning into "a second Cuba." In truth, it was protecting Corporate America's interests, specially with sugar cane crops gaining importance, for which Dominican Republic soil was second only to Cuba (now a Communist state) in the Americas.
WHAT EXACTLY WAS SO ANTI-SEMITIC ABOUT AHMADINEJAD'S SPEECH IN GENEVA? POINTING TO THE ACTS OF ZIONISTS AS BEING RACIST IS NOT ANTISEMITIC...
ReplyDeleteThe "sins" of Zelaya:
ReplyDelete"While Zelaya inherited a Honduras with a fiscal deficit of 2.6 percent of GDP,... he left behind a country with an estimated deficit of 5 percent. ...Among the key reasons was a boost in public sector salary expenditure, which jumped from 17 billion lempira (US$918 million) in 2006 to 27.5 billion this year, the paper reports."
By that criteria, the Republicans should probably overthrow Obama!
This was written by Fidel Castro. Unless there is another Fidel Castro, how can a dictator write this sort of stuff and not be challenged on it?
ReplyDeleteZelaya knows that it was not only the Constitution of Honduras what was at stake, but also the right of the peoples of Latin America to elect the people who govern them.

A Hundred Years for Juan Bosch

You'll have to ask him, although at this stage in time, he is no longer in charge.
ReplyDeleteI have a different set of questions (more to do with economic development).
Trujillo, a name that will live in infamy, just as Juan Bosch's will (or could have) live(d) in glory.
ReplyDeleteThe Mirabal Sisters.
I saw Trujillo's grave in Paris at the Pere Lachaise Cemetary and wondered at the time why he was buried there.
ReplyDelete"Baby Doc" Duvalier is still living in France, too. Perhaps he will be buried next to Trujillo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the story of the Mirabal sisters. I had heard the story but didn't know the details.
ReplyDeleteTrujillo and Baby Doc, what a pair... =-O
