Love of the Land: Prelude to Suez?

Prelude to Suez?

Abba Eban used to quip that the Six Day War was the first war in History after which the victors asked for peace while the vanquished demanded unconditional surrender. This pattern still characterizes Middle East peace negotiations, but it seems that it is now being applied to other regions.

Hillary Clinton recently advised the UK and Argentina to begin talks about the Falklands Islands. What is there to talk about, for goodness’ sake? Those islands are British since 1833, and Britain won the Falklands War in 1982. Whenever Argentina makes claims over the Falklands, the island’s inhabitants reply that they have a right to self-determination and that they have no wish to be part of Argentina. Britain’s sovereignty over this far-away island off Argentina’s coast is indeed a historical oddity, but so is France’s regime in Guyana or America’s in Puerto Rico. The list is longer. Yet one wonders what America’s reaction would be if it were “advised” to “begin talks” with Spain about Puerto Rico. Incidentally, Mrs. Clinton has not “advised” Russia to “begin talks” with Japan about the South Kuril Islands.

It is not hard to understand why. If Japan were to press its case on the Kuril Islands, it would likely be ignored by America. The Obama Administration is unsuccessfully trying to convince Russia to vote for tougher UN sanctions against Iran, and aggravating the Russians with the almost-forgotten territorial dispute over the Kuril Islands would not be helpful.

Love of the Land: Bombing Argentinian Jews (1994)

Bombing Argentinian Jews (1994)

Today's Golden Oldie is a Dry Bones cartoon done 15 years ago in 1994. The cartoon was done after the horrific bombing that obliterated the seven-storey Jewish Community Center building in Argentina, killing 85 and injuring more than 300.

Ahmad Vahidi, who led a unit of Iran's Revolutionary Guards known as the Quds Force was the "mastermind" behind the brutal, antisemitic, terrorist attack. Interpol issued a wanted persons alert for him in 2007. To see the Interpol "wanted" poster for Ahmad Vahidi, click onInterpol.

Want to know where this wanted terrorist is today? He is not in hiding. He is the Secretary of Defence in Ahmadinejad's Iranian Government.

When he got the job, earlier this year, a spokesman for Obama's State Department described Vahidi's nomination as "disturbing".

Israel Matzav: A smoking gun on Iranian terror in Argentina

A smoking gun on Iranian terror in Argentina

This is a description of a book called To Kill Without a Trace. The book (pictured) has been published in Spanish and shows how Iran was behind the suicide bombing at the AMIA Jewish Community Center in Argentina in 1994.

On July 18, 1994, the worst anti-Jewish attack in the post world war era occurred: the site of the center of the Jewish community in Buenos Aires was obliterated, leaving 85 dead and hundreds injured.

A short time later, a web was spun to provide cover for those responsible for the attack, which included red herrings, blackmailing, bribery, intimidation of witnesses and diverse methods of obstructing the investigation.

This cover-up network was instigated by government functionaries, intelligence agents, judges and leaders of the Jewish community. It would have succeeded had it not been for the herculean work of Alberto Nisman, who in 1997 was nominated to be a State Prosecutor of the AMIA case with the intention of rubber stamping this network of falsifications.

At the heart of this novel is the gradual unraveling of this web of lies.

Read the whole thing.

I find it especially curious to hear that the Jewish community was involved in the coverup, and look forward to the book being published in English
