Purely peaceful™: Ahmadinejad posing with Iranian officials by a Simorgh rocket

We’ve written before about North Korea’s nuclear assistance to both Iran and Syria, providing expertise in planning and building some extremely suspicious sites.

Now it appears that, thanks to the blundering UN and the ineffectual threats of ’sanctions’ from the talking heads of the ‘international community’, Mahmoud and the Mullahs have finally, with further willing help from the lunatic régime of Pyongyang, spun their Taqiyya lies into reality – and brought the Middle East to the nuclear brink; both in terms of production of fissile material and now, it appears, delivery systems:

Iran is building a new rocket launch site a short distance from an existing complex and seems to be working with North Korea, information group IHS Jane’s said Friday.
Construction visible from satellite imagery of the new site, near the city of Semnan east of Tehran, suggests that Iran has been collaborating with Pyongyang, said the London-based defence intelligence group.

Iran unveiled the Simorgh (Phoenix) space-launch vehicle (SLV) on February 3 but has not publicly revealed the location of the rocket’s launch complex, it reported. Read the rest of this entry »

LONDON – A filmmaker, anthropologist and economic researcher are among those headlining events marking what pro-Palestinian organisers have declared as “Israeli Apartheid Week” – and all three speakers are Israeli.

University campuses in more than 40 cities around the world are marking the week with lectures, films, multimedia events, cultural performances and demonstrations.

Since they were first launched in 2005, the events have become some of “the most important global events in the Palestine solidarity calendar,” according to its organisers. Read the rest of this entry »

Note: video is a Playlist and all three parts will play in sequence automatically

The proxy Jihad unrest over housing in East Jerusalem we touched on briefly last summer shows no signs of letting up. As the report below from today’s Jerusalem Post shows, tensions are still high; and riots and fighting are almost daily occurrences.

But what you probably don’t know is who’s pulling the strings. And, as the recent (and unsurprisingly completely slanted) video from the BBC’s Panorama programme above illustrates, it’s extremely unlikely you’d get to find out if you relied on the mainstream media:

The Shuafat refugee camp was the scene of renewed rioting on Tuesday, a day after clashes between young Palestinian residents and security forces in the sprawling east Jerusalem neighbourhood left four police officers and a border policeman lightly injured.

No injuries were reported by police on Tuesday afternoon. However, nine Palestinians were arrested for throwing rocks at security forces during the renewed clashes, bringing the total number of arrests in Shuafat over the past two days to 34. Read the rest of this entry »

An arrest warrant obtained by a group of far left and Jihadi-sympathising lawyers once again prevents a senior figure from a nation allied with Britain from visiting the country:

The Foreign Ministry on Tuesday called for an end to the “absurd situation” in which arrest warrants were being issued to Israeli officials over alleged war crimes in the Gaza Strip.

“Only actions can put an end to this absurd situation, which would have seemed a comedy of errors were it not so serious,” said the Foreign Ministry, a day after it emerged that opposition leader Tzipi Livni had canceled her trip to Britain after a warrant was issued for her arrest.

Early influences: example of previous efforts to sanction Jewish business

A Hanukkah gift from the British government to the people of Israel. Enable and encourage boycott – then deny boycott. Fairly typical New Labour anti-Israel tactics, which should please (and was possibly initiated by) its leftist Union paymasters:

The government’s recommendation is not a legal requirement but does increase the prospects of a consumer boycott of products from those territories.

Israeli officials and settler leaders have criticised the decision.

Until now, food has been simply labelled “Produce of the West Bank”, but the new, voluntary guidance issued by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), says labels could give more precise information, like “Israeli settlement produce” or “Palestinian produce”, the Guardian reports.

Welcome to Scotland: is this the kind of anti-Israeli protest the Scottish TUC has in mind, when it encouraging football fans to wave Palestinian flags at visiting Israeli supporters?

The Brothers are at it (their long-ingrained anti-Semitism) again:

[The Scottish Trade Union Congress] asked fans of the Celtic Football Club to wave Palestinian flags during Wednesday’s match with the Israeli football team Hapoel Tel Aviv in the city of Glasgow.

British media said that the Scottish Trade Union Congress had asked Celtic supporters to “show solidarity with suffering Palestinians” at the Europa League game.

Celtic – whose fans often wave Irish flags because of their historic ties with Ireland and the Roman Catholic community – urged their supporters to ignore the call. Read the rest of this entry »

For those that ever wondered why Israel has stringent checkpoints (or have criticised her for having them), between herself and ‘Palestine’. WARNING – although not particularly graphic, the footage is nonetheless disturbing:

A video posted on the Youtube video sharing website shows a young Palestinian woman stabbing a security guard at the Qalandiya checkpoint north of Jerusalem.

The attack took place on October 25. A female terrorist in her 20s pulled out a knife she had been hiding in her clothes and stabbed one of the security guards at the checkpoint in his lower abdomen.

The two-minute video shows the guards checking the woman’s items in an x-ray machine. When shift their gaze from her for a moment, she seizes the opportunity to quickly pull out a knife and attack. Read the rest of this entry »

Not fireworks: Deadly Iran-made and supplied Katyusha rockets have been fired by Hizballah at Israel with increasing regularity

An object lesson in Islamist duplicity:

Lebanon’s army chief, Jean Kahwaji, called on his soldiers to be wary and to prepare defences along the border for a possible Israeli attack, the London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi reported Saturday.

In a statement published in honour of Lebanon’s Independence Day, the general said soldiers should prepare “to handle what the Israeli enemy is scheming against the homeland, and to continue the battle against its violations – in the air, water, and land – with all the tools at our disposal”.

Hero: Goldstone-branded souvenir goods on sale in Gaza

South African Judge Richard Goldstone’s name may be infamous in Israel, but in the Gaza Strip it is sewn onto souvenir Palestinian headscarves in honour of his controversial war inquiry.

Tariq Abu Dia, owner of the President Arafat souvenir shop in Gaza City, says Goldstone, who is Jewish, deserves the honour of appearing on the iconic Palestinian keffiyeh made famous by Yasser Arafat, for whom the shop is named.

“Today we put out 50 keffiyehs made of white fabric with the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem and the name ‘Goldstone’ embroidered on them, to honour his work,” Abu Dia says, as he shows off one of the scarves. Read the rest of this entry »

U.N. Human Rights Council witnesses dramatic face-off when head of controversial UN “fact-finding” mission on Gaza unexpectedly confronted by one of his own witnesses. Dr. Mirela Siderer, an Israeli doctor brutally disfigured by a 2008 rocket attack fired from Gaza into her Ashkelon medical clinic, pointedly accused Judge Richard Goldstone of ignoring her July oral testimony in his report, and of failing to disclose material information concerning the mandate and members of the mission.

Both declared Israel guilty in advance. Testimony arranged by the Geneva human rights organization UN Watch

Watch and remember – you will get very few chances to see such testimony, as the Western mainstream media continues shilling for Hamas and Fatah and ignoring the plight of the residents of Israeli towns unfortunate enough to lie close to Gaza; who have bravely borne the brunt of thousands of rocket attacks from Muslim terrrorists.
