from NY to Israel Sultan Reveals The Stories Behind the News











Friday Afternoon Roundup - Von Brunn and Who are the Terrorists
Anyway


Posted: 12 Jun 2009 04:56 PM PDT





The media and assorted left wings groups are
doing their cynical best to somehow place the blame for the Holocaust
museum attack at the doorstep of conservative talk show hosts, despite the
fact that the shooter hated FOX News and conservative talk show hosts just
as much as the left wing does.

Out of power, the left and the media
constantly insisted that Bush's War on Terror was impacting freedom of
speech and terrifying people into not saying what they thought. Of course
back in power, we're seeing the same game that the Clinton Administration
played, with warnings about extremism and incitement emanating from their
political opposition.

This is the same tactic commonly used in
European and Euro-alike states such as Israel, to suppress political
dissent from the right, by taking a particular violent attack and hanging
it around the neck of everyone more right than the left.

The fact
of the matter is that Von Brunn was a long time Nazi. His political
connections were to the far right, to the Adelaide Institute, to the Ron
Paul campaign, probably by way of Lew Rockwell, the likely ghostwriter for
some of Ron Paul's more neo-nazish screeds in the Ron Paul Survival Guide.
The only Republicans Von Brunn would have had anything in common with were
far right anti-American figures like Pat Buchanan.

Those are
however figures that the mainstream media will not touch, because Ron Paul
and Pat Buchanan are just as supportive of terrorists, opposed to fighting
terrorism and contemptous of most Republicans-- as they themselves
are.

By contrast Von Brunn's views about Jews, FOX News,
Neo-Conservatives, Christians, Israel, etc would put him in the virtual
liberal mainstream these days. So when it comes to politics, Von Brunn's
brand of ugly hate has far more refuge among liberals, where conspiracy
theories about Jewish power and hate for Israel, along with violent
assasination fantasies toward conservative talk show hosts, have far more
reach, than they do among Republicans.

And there is of course
another issue behind it all. The attention Von Brunn is getting, is vastly
out of proprtion to the scale and scope of his attack. By contrast when a
Muslim gunman burst into the Seattle Jewish Center using a teenage girl as
a hostage, shot 5 women and killed 1... the media didn't give it nearly
the same amount of high profile attention.

But of course
there...

1. The killer was a Muslim

2. The killer stated
explictly that he hated Jews, Israel and the Bush Administration, and
wanted US troops out of Iraq

The second is a mainstream liberal
view, and the first insured that Haq, the killer, would be repeatedly
described as acting because of mental illness, rather than as a political
Islamic killer. Yet Von Brunn's crime was a good deal lighter than Haq. It
has been repeatedly played up for its political value.

The hate
toward Israel and Jews that is expressed by Muslims and their liberal
fellow travelers, has caused many European Jewish institutions to become
virtual fortresses. Synagogues and Jewish organizations in the US have not
reached this stage yet for one reason and one reason alone... because the
US has far less Muslims and because left wing rhetoric toward Jews has not
yet reached the same pitch as in Europe.

The same media lavishing
attention on the 88 year old Von Brunn are deliberately ignoring where
most of the violence directed against Jewish institutions is coming from,
because they play a role in inciting that same violence. When the media
repeats the talking points about Israel emenating from Obama, they are
promoting the same climate of hostility that has helped turn Jewish
organizations in Europe, into fortresses.

When the media refuses to
take seriously the ongoing climate of Muslim violence against Jews, they
become accomplices in covering up for it. Just as the media did during the
Holocaust by under-reporting Nazi atrocities because of anti-war attitudes
leading up the Nazi invasion of the USSR and then pressure from the FDR
administration to avoid hitting on Jewish themes.

In its final ugly
gambit, the media which is anti-Israel, tries to blame Von Brunn's
shooting on conservative media outlets which are pro-Israel.

The
goal of course is to use Von Brunn to tar political opposition in general.
Witness the Dallas Morning News editor Michael Landauer, exploiting the
shooting, to
warn
people not to forward email news
, lest they be guilty of inciting
another killing.



Think about that next time you think that news -- real
news -- is delivered to your inbox from anonymous sources who claim the
media are hiding something. Maybe next time you'll wonder what these
nutjobs are hiding. In this case, Von Brunn was hiding his murderous,
racist rage that resulted in the loss of a boy's father.



This of course is just an example of how far the
mainstream media is willing to stretch their exploitation of the attack on
the Holocaust Museum, in order to silence any criticism and
opposition.

But why exactly does the press condemn Von Brunn
anyway, when it continues to support terrorists who do their best to
murder Jews in Israel?

The current President of the Palestinian
Authority, Abbas,
wrote his
doctoral thesis on Holocaust denial
. Mein Kampf is a best seller in
the Middle East,
including
"moderate" Turkey
.

Yet the media continues to assail Israel for
not immediately turning over more land and power to Abbas, when Abbas's
terrorist militias have killed far more Jews than Von Brunn.

For
that matter if Von Brunn is so evil, why is the media cheering Obama's
diplomatic efforts with Iran's Ahmadinejad, who not only traffics in
Holocaust denial, but has repeatedly called for, and is trying to
implement another Holocaust.

While the media cynically exploits Von
Brunn for their own purposes, they are whitewashing far worse monsters
than him.

While the media inveighs against Von Brunn, the Obama
Administration
will be
spending hundreds of millions of dollars
to arm and train the young
Palestinian Arab versions of Von Brunn, in order to enable them to better
kill Jews.



An Obama administration plan to train Palestinian forces
and deploy them in the West Bank will receive its requested funding,
Congress was expected to decide Thursday as Israeli officials said that
the US had formulated a two-year plan to train a total of 10
battalions.

According to the decision, the 2009 fiscal year
Supplemental Appropriations Bill will include $109 million for projects
directed by the United States Security Coordination in Israel Lt.-Gen.
Keith Dayton. Congress is also currently evaluating an administration
request to receive an additional $100m. to continue and expand the
training in 2010.



Now time and time again, these "security battalions"
have used their training to engage in terrorism. The US will be spending
hundreds of millions to train members of terrorist groups filled with
hateful beliefs about the inferiority of Jews and Christians, to be better
killers.

They would be doing less damage by simply giving Von Brunn
a bazooka and setting him loose in the Holocaust Museum... than they are
by training large numbers of terrorists whose beliefs are every bit as
hateful as Von Brunn's and whose training and skills will be far
better.

The same media which has lionized Arafat and Abbas, which
has promoted the right of Palestinian Arab terrorism against Jews, is far
more responsible for the murder of Jews by Abbas and Arafat's terrorist
legions, than any conservative talk show host is for Von Brunn.

If
we're going to take anyone off the air, we could begin with
CNN.

But of course it is typical of left's tactics, just as Obama
exploited the Holocaust in Cairo and Buchenwald in order to bash Israel,
for the left to exploit the Holocaust museum shootings to attack the only
pro-Israel media in America.

Caroline Glick writes further
on
Obama's High Commissioner
,



Through their obsessive focus on Israeli building
activities in Judea and Samaria, Obama and his advisers have sent
regional leaders the message that they define their role here not as
mediators, but as agents for the Palestinians against Israel.
Consequently, far from giving the sense that they seek a peace deal that
will be acceptable to Israelis and Palestinians alike, they have
convinced the Israelis and the Palestinians - as well as much of the
Arab world - that the US intends to coerce Israel into accepting a
settlement that sacrifices Israeli security and national needs on the
altar of maximalist Palestinian ambitions.

This is the view that
Fatah leader and putative Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas
expressed in his interview with The Washington Post last month ahead of
his visit with Obama. As Abbas put it, the Americans "can use their
weight with anyone around the world. Two years ago they used their
weight on us. Now they should tell the Israelis, 'You have to comply
with the conditions.'"

Second, Obama has pledged $900 million in
US taxpayer funds to Hamas-controlled Gaza and is pressuring Israel to
support Gaza economically in spite of the fact that Hamas continues to
attack southern Israel with rockets and to expand and diversify its
arsenals.

Third, the Obama administration is abandoning its
predecessor's bid to isolate Hamas by pressuring Fatah and Egypt to
offer Hamas full partnership in a Fatah-Hamas unity government which
would work to cement Hamas's international legitimacy.



Sure makes von Brunn looks like an amateur, doesn't it?
If only he had converted to Islam, strapped on a Keffiyah, and done the
same thing he did, the Palestinian Authority would be naming streets after
him, and the media would be pointing to his attack as proof of a cycle of
violence that Israel is responsible for.

Meanwhile for those
interested, there is some video of the Obama, No You Can't, rally in
Israel.





However since it is primarily in
Hebrew, it will not be comprehensible to anyone who does not speak Hebrew.
I will look into possibly putting up a transcript sometime next
week.

Meanwhile Arlene Kushner
suggests other forms of
protest


Lemon looks at the Stratfor
Intel report's take on Obama's campaign
against
Netanyahu



'Given that, the question is where Obama is going with
this. From Obama's point of view, he wins no matter what Netanyahu
decides to do.If Netanyahu gives in, then he has established the
principle that the United States can demand concessions from a
Likud-controlled government in Israel and get them. There will be more
demands. If Netanyahu doesn't give in, Obama can create a split with
Israel over the one issue he can get public support for in the United
States (a halt to settlement expansion in the West Bank), and use that
split asa lever with Islamic states.'
