BULGARIA JIHADIST MASS KILLER RELEASED FROM GITMO, LEFTISTS REJOICE AT MASS SLAUGHTER OF JEWISH KIDS

Ghazali, who was a Swedish citizen, was visited by members of the Swedish government frequently while he was in custody at Gitmo, and the Swedish media played up his incarceration. While Ghezali was detained at Gitmo, he was featured in the documentary

In February of 2004, Ghazali was reassessed and regarded as an enemy combatant who had gone to Afghanistan to support the Taliban, but although Gitmo concluded that he was a “medium risk, as he may possibly pose a threat to the US its interests and allies,” the decision to release him to Sweden followed: “Recommendation: JTF Gitmo recommends that this detainee be transferred to the control of another country for continued detention.”

He was released to Sweden on July 8, 2004. And guess how much he meant to the Swedish? He was flown home to Sweden by the�Swedish Air Force�on a�Gulfstream IV�jet, at the expense of the Swedish government.

Huge Win! AFDI First Amendment victory against NYC MTA, Makes legal history - pro-Israel ads must run attacking savages who engage in jihad

� AFLC Victory: New York Federal Court Strikes Down “Demeaning” Speech Restriction; MTA Must Run Advertisement Opposing Jihad and Supporting Israel�

�New York, New York (July 20, 2012) — Earlier today, Federal Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, sitting in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, ruled that the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA) restriction on “demeaning” speech was unconstitutional.� The MTA had refused to run an anti-jihad advertisement that, according to the MTA, referred to Israel’s enemies as savages who engaged in jihad.� The MTA flagged the advertisement that was set to run on the exterior of its buses, claiming that it violated the MTA’s policy against displaying “images or information that demean an individual or group of individuals on account of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, gender, age, disability or sexual orientation.”

The court struck down the MTA’s speech restriction as a violation of the First Amendment because the MTA, as a governmental agency, was permitting politically controversial speech, even demeaning speech, but not speech that demeaned specific groups or individuals that fit within the MTA’s protected classes (in this case, Muslims embracing savage jihad).

Presbyterians reject divestment: Israel's Loss

The Presbyterian Church "decided" not to divest from companies doing business with Israel by a minuscule .03% margin.  If the divestment was approved, the Presbyterian Church would have decided that Israel was so evil that the only proper reaction would have to equal that which was done to the white regime in South Africa, and, by the way, was not done to Nazi Germany.  This is not even something that is being done to countries like Saudi Arabia. which ban all churches and all Christians, Jews, etc.

This was not a win.  Just by making it an issue, Israel made any result a defeat.  What needed to be done to win is for Israel to vote a ban of all relations with the Presbyterian Church for being an antisemitic organization.  If divestment was a new or unique phenomena, then it would make sense to expend time and effort on defeating this move.  But it has been the contrary.  The Presbyterians know it.  As a consequence, they have been acting as though they still matter as a religion, which they do not.

I find it very ironic that the Jewish organizations, the usual old-line organizations that are still fighting WWII antisemitism, care this much about such a defunct and useless organization as the Presbyterians.  Why?  What can they do?  Are they going to divest from cell phones? or IM? Not a chance.  Even the Arabs decided to look the other way. 

Israel must start taking charge and begin acting like a "mensch."  Israel and the Jewish Community has been groveling and begging these "Christians" to please accept me, take me in, love me.  It is degrading for Jews and it is unbecoming for any nation.

It is ironic because it would be impossible to get this kind of support, as a matter of fact almost any support, from these same Jewish and Israeli organizations to work at gaining support from the Evangelical Christians.  Why would anyone care about a church that is going out of business, while rejecting the future direction of Christianity.  The future is with the Evangelical Christians and they do not operate as monolith and by far a majority are pro-Zionist. 

CUFI, Christians United For Israel, which is Pastor John Haggee's Evangelical Christian group, is so pro-Israel, they almost put AIPAC to shame.  And yet, you will not find any mainline Jews or Jewish organizations supporting them.  They are having there annual meeting this summer, about now, and there is not a single piece of information available anywhere about them in any Jewish magazine, journal, or newspaper.  Why?

This failure of Jews to support their friends and reject antisemitism will be the 21st Century's equivalent of their bad behavior in the 1930s.  The Jews love the the Presbyterians for what they used to be: a pro-Jewish religion in the 1930s.  It is also still known as the academic religion because if it infusion with higher education since the Church has no set religious standards.  It has become post-modern through it individual oriented theology.  Many Jews love this because they realize that the Presbyterians really do not have a religion that is substantive and so they really cannot care about how substantive the Jew's religion is.

This is not the 1930s and academia is not the playing field.  Israel is not a powerful state and this is being organized ont he political level, using academia; but not of it.  Israel needs to provide political and international force behind the substantiation of its own legitimacy.  What nation would be considered "legitimate" that cared about the support of a vanishing organization for its justification?  That is how Israel is behaving.

Israel and American Jews need to take the initiative on all such issues and reject the premise that there is any consequence to whatever the Presbyterian Church decides to do.  Israel and the Jews are now one and have their own Country.  Thanks Presbyterians; but, this is not WWII and we will not be treated as such any longer.

PUC's Chancellor Keon is Forced to Recognize Free Speech

My readers were earlier informed, on this blog, that Purdue University was investigating this blog for its infingement on the freedom of speech of University faculty.   The claim was that this blog was the main culprit in denying the rights of the faculty:

Blog: Chancellor Colludes with Faculty to "get" Eisenstein

The charges were that I violated Purdue University's rules by pulishing what they provided to me under my FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request.  I should point out that by law in the State of Indiana the University has to provide them to me, or anyone else, the information.  They in turn have every legal right to make the information public. 

As absurd as it may seem, Purdue University convened a full investigation of me, again.  This has done more than anything to stiffle and chill free speech on Purdue's campus.  It is now non- existent, except for myself.  The big help came from FIRE (The Foundation for Individual Freedom in Education.)  You can see their many documents about my case for free speech at the following:

 Findings by Purdue University Calumet Chancellor Thomas L. Keon, June 8, 2012 - The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education - FIRE.

Remember, the sole goal of Purdue University's Chancellor Keon is to chill free-speech when it is not in conformity with his views of what is proper.  I know that is an oxymoronic statement; but, that is how free speech actions, during his academic career, have continued to reflect.
