Morning (J)Blog Roundup - 2006-09-14
* Watcher watches Al-Jazeera to get the pulse of Muslim public opinion. That pulse turns out to really love terrorism. Which might help to explain why Pamela is able to have an entire jihad roundup.
* Vital Perspectives has some context for the horrific beheading of Sudanese newspaper editor Mohamed Taha.
* Either MoveOn.org needs to stop letting anti-Semitic lunatics party on their message boards or someone needs to put Bill Levinson on a stipend, because there's no way he has time for keep track of all of this and hold down a job. Andthis. And a couple more that are scattered on IsraPundit.
* Smooth Stone: justified anger is good. You want 'turn the other cheek', you go to that other traditionally European religion. But be warned: they don't seem to be in a particularly forgiving mood viz. jihadism either (PS - "logos vs. transcendence" is precisely the kind of game that makes it a pleasure to have one of the smartest men in the Church as Bishop of Rome).
* GIYUS has an overview of Muslim charities that have been identified as terrorist fronts in IDF-siezed documentation.
* We disagree with Israel Matsav's speculation that the the China-infuriating visit of five Israeli MKs to Taiwan was a calculated bove by the Foreign Ministry to kiss up to the US - we just don't think they're that sophisticated.
* Daled Amos has a ton of articles and links on Muslim efforts to influence American journalism by buying it (maybe this is part of the answer to Anne's quest to identify why the media excuses Islamism). At this point, we'd almost appreciate it if many MSM outlets just kind of admitted that their absurd bias comes because they're owned by terrorists. It's better than the "we're just trying to present all sides of the conflict" excuse that the WaPo served up when they gave Haniyeh column inches to unapologetically justify trying to destroy Israel.
* Technically should've been blogged yesterday, but Oslo had just its 13th anniversary. Allison has a picture of an Israeli hero shaking hands with a filthy terrorist, as the most pro-Israel President ever looks on and smiles. Just think - a little over a decade ago the PLO was a bunch of old, overweight men sitting in a hotel in Tunis and the Palestinians had all but given up hope of ever defeating Israel militarily. Thankfully, that situation has been remedied and peace now reigns everywhere.
* Richard Landes on the Pallywood trial in France. Under no circumstances should people underestimate how significant this might become in exposing and-Israel photojournalism's practices of staging and outright fabriation.
* Syrian blog A Heretic's Blog with another embassy attack conspiracy theory.
* Rosie O'Donnell: the voice of the contemporary political Left.
* Terror news: Tanzim leaders arrested in Bethlehem (VP has an overview on terror attacks he's linked to, and puts it in the context of recent arrests). Speculation on the right (and far-right) relates the recent anti-terror campaign to disengagement. We have a small request: could we stop referring to Israeli politicians as "cowards, scum and traitors"? Please? Cause it doesn't really help anything so there's no positive reason to do it, and, you know - it gets people killed.
* ISM activists pose with Palestinian terrorists. In their minds, leftist activists are all Che Guevera, burning villages and killing innocents in the name of impossible - but not unromantic (!!) - utopias. More at Israel at Ground Level and Israel Matsav. Tools.
