How Turkey was lost
by Carl in Jerusalem (Hija del
Zion para Israel - Daughter of
Zion for Israel)
Submitted at 6/26/2010 4:31:00 PM
How Turkey was lost This is part of
a very long piece in Commentary by
Michael Rubin that attempts to piece
together how the West totally missed
the signals that Turkey was going
Islamist.
A decade ago, Turks saw themselves
in a camp with the United States,
Western Europe, and Israel; today
Turkish self-identity places the
country firmly in a camp led by Iran,
Syria, Sudan, and Hamas. Turkey
may be a NATO member, but polls
nevertheless show it to be the world’s
most anti-American country
(although, to be fair, the Pew Global
Attitudes Project did not conduct
surveys in Libya or North Korea).
Nor do Turks differentiate between
the U.S. government and the
American people: they hate
Americans almost as much as they
hate Washington. This is no accident.
From almost day one, Erdogan has
encouraged, and his allies have
financed, a steady stream of anti-
American and anti-Semitic
incitement. Certainly, many Turks
opposed the liberation of Iraq in
2003, but this was largely because
Erdogan bombarded them with anti-
American incitement before
Parliament’s vote, which withdrew
the support promised to the operation.
Much of Erdogan’s incitement,
however, cannot be dismissed as a
dispute over the Iraq war.
In 2004, Yeni Safak, a newspaper
Erdogan endorsed, published an
enemies list of prominent Jews. In
2006, not only did Turkish theaters
headline Valley of the Wolves, a
fiercely anti-American and anti-
Semitic movie that featured a Jewish
doctor harvesting the organs of dead
Iraqis, but the prime minister’s wife
also publicly endorsed the film and
urged all Turks to see it. Turkish
newspapers reported that prominent
AKP supporters and Erdogan aides
financed its production. While much
of the Western world boycotted
Hamas in the wake of the 2006
Palestinian elections in order to force
it to renounce violence, Erdogan not
only extended a hand to the group but
6/26/2010 at 2:48:00 PM - 6/27/2010 at 5:52:08 AM
also welcomed Khaled Mashaal,
leader of its most extreme and
recalcitrant faction, as his personal
guest.
The question for policymakers,
however, should not be whether
Turkey is lost but rather how Erdogan
could lead a slow-motion Islamic
revolution below the West’s radar.
This is both a testament to Erdogan’s
skill and a reflection of Western
delusion. Before taking power,
Erdogan and his advisers cultivated
Western opinion makers. He
concentrated not on American pundits
who found U.S. policy insufficiently
leftist and sympathetic to the Islamic
world but rather on natural critics,
hawkish American supporters of
Turkey and Israel who helped
introduce Erdogan confidantes to
Washington policymakers.
After consolidating power, however,
the AKP did not cultivate Jewish and
pro-Israel groups, but they did little to
sever the relationships. Turks
traditionally looked kindly on Israel
and Jews; of all the peoples of the
Ottoman Empire, the Jews in
Palestine were one of the few who
had not revolted against the Ottoman
Sultan. In the 1980s and 1990s,
Turkey and Israel had much in
common: both were democracies
amid a sea of autocracy. They
enjoyed close diplomatic, economic,
and military relations. So many
Israeli tourists visited Turkey that
Hebrew signs became ubiquitous in
Turkish cities. It was not uncommon
to hear Hebrew in Istanbul’s Grand
Bazaar or in restaurants along the
Bosporus.
Against such a backdrop, many
Jewish groups turned a blind eye to
warning signs of Erdogan’s antipathy
and rationalized Turkey’s outreach to
Hamas and Hezbollah, Syria, Sudan,
and Iran. It was not until Erdogan
exploded at the 2009 Davos World
Forum, telling Israeli President
Shimon Peres “you know well how to
kill,” storming off the stage, and
subsequently accusing Israel of
genocide, that Jewish groups
awakened to the change that had
come over Turkey.
Much of the blame for failing to
recognize Erdogan’s agenda also lies
in the West’s intellectual approach to
radical Islam. For too many, the
headscarf was the only metric by
which to judge Islamist
encroachment. For Erdogan,
however, the scarf was a symbol; the
state was the goal.
Even after Erdogan began to
eviscerate the checks and balances of
Turkish society, European officials
and American diplomats remained in
denial. Certainly moral equivalency
played a role: as Erdogan asked last
October, why should Turkey accept
the Western definition of secularism?
For too many Western officials,
however, to acknowledge Turkey’s
turn would be to admit the failure of
moderate Islamism. To criticize
Erdogan’s motivations would be
racist.
… NATO and deliver the F-35 JSF to it
Turkey today is an Islamic republic
in all but name. Washington, its
European allies, and Jerusalem must
now come to terms with Turkey as a
potential enemy. Alas, even if the
AKP were to exit the Turkish stage
tomorrow, the changes Erdogan’s
party have made appear irreversible.
While Turkey was for more than half
a century a buffer between Middle
Eastern extremism and European
liberalism, today it has become an
enabler of extremism and an enemy
of liberalism. Rather than fight
terrorists, Turkey embraces them.
Today’s rhetorical support may
become tomorrow’s material support.
On the world stage, too, Turkey is a
problem. Rather than help diffuse
Iran’s nuclear program, Erdogan
encourages it.
Turkey’s anti-Americanism, its
dictatorship, and the inability of
Western officials to acknowledge
reality endanger security. Hard
choices lay ahead: as a NATO
member, Turkey is privy to U.S.
weaponry, tactics, and intelligence.
Any provision of assistance to Turkey
feedjournal.
today, however, could be akin to
transferring it to Hamas, Sudan, or
Iran. Does President Obama really
want to deliver the F-35 Joint Strike
Fighter to a hostile Turkey, Iran’s
chief regional defender, as promised
in 2014? Should Turkey even remain
in NATO? After all, half a century
ago, NATO learned to live without
France.
Losing Turkey is tragic, but failing to
recognize its loss can only compound
the tragedy. The worst outcome,
however, would be to let strategic
denial block assessment of lessons
learned. As mayor of Istanbul,
Erdogan quipped, “‘Democracy is
like a streetcar. When you come to
your stop, you get off.” Perhaps, in
hindsight, the West’s mistake was to
ignore the danger of Erdogan’s
ascendance into the driver’s seat.
Read it all. When you’re done, you’ll
realize that there’s nothing left to be
saved with Turkey. It’s all over. And
you’ll wonder why the Israeli
government doesn’t just shut down
the embassy and bring the diplomats
home, and whether the US is really
going to allow Turkey to stay in
in 2014.

New York City’s Mayor Bloomberg
seems to have a new exit strategy.
After trying to spread rumors that
suggested he might run for President,
in the hopes that one party or the
other would give him the V.P. spot,
failing and struggling through a third
mayoral election that he promised
would never happen against a
candidate who never bothered to
show up and still almost beat him,
Bloomberg needs a way out.
Sure he’s done a fine job amusing
himself by scattering modern art
atrocities painted day glo colors on
the city hall lawn. He’s made
Manhattan impassable for traffic,
after Albany shot him down on his
commuter tax. But waging a war on
good taste and cars just isn’t enough.
Nor is enthusiastically backing the
Ground Zero mosque, spending
ridiculous amounts of money
overhauling basic city infrastructure
like bus stations and firehouses to
meet with his idea of architectural
standards (transparent and on an
angle usually). Now it’s immigration
reform.
Bloomberg has announced the
Partnership for a New American
Economy, which is a fancy way of
saying that he’d like to legalize a
whole lot of Mexican illegal aliens
which will somehow lead to a “New
American Economy”, which is good
because anything “new” must be
better than old. Like New Coke. Or
New Strain of Diphtheria. Or New
Kids on the Block. Joining him are a
bunch of CEO’s, including Rupert
Murdoch.
It’s not exactly a big secret that the
are two reasons we have open
borders. The first reason is the
Democratic party’s reliance on
importing dependent minority groups
to build a voting base. The second
reason is that the Republican party
spends too much time answering to
corporations who want open borders.
The Chamber of Commerce is a big
proponent of open borders, which
makes Bloomberg’s collection of
CEO’s from Disney (does the Mouse
really need migrant workers?),
Marriot, Hewlett Packard, Boeing,
American Express, Morgan Stanley
and the New York Times (migrants
could probably do a better and
cheaper job of writing their articles)
and Rupert Murdoch of Newscorp.
DOOCY: The country is so
gridlocked around this. What can
business do that Washington, DC has
not been effective in doing so far?
MURDOCH: Well you just gotta
keep the pressure on the
congressmen. You gotta do it on the
press and on the television. It’s a
political thing. They gotta fess up to
it. [...] You gotta recognize that there
are millions of bright and intelligent
people around the world — whether
they are in China or in Hungary or in
Germany or something — who want
to come to America and live the
American Dream.
DOOCY: Right, but they can’t. [...]
This is a political hot potato. How do
get past the partisanship that is out
there and is so biting for a while?
MURDOCH: I think we can show to
the public the benefit of having
migrants and the jobs that go with
them.
So we’re once again talking about
major corporations lobbying congress
to ignore the will of the people.
But Murdoch completely sidesteps
the fact that importing migrant
workers does not mean importing
“bright and intelligent people”, it
means importing people to do bad
and cheap labor, so companies can
cut labor costs and pass them on to
the taxpayer funding the social
services for the migrants. That’s
already the situation that exists today.
I’m all for importing millions of
bright and intelligent people, though
perhaps not during a major recession.
But that’s not what either Democrats
or Republican big business advocates
want. What they want are cheap and
easy people, who can be exploited on
the job and at the voting booth. That’s
why immigration quotas look the way
they do. That’s why it’s much easier
for people from the Third World to
move here, than for Europeans.
Immigration “reform” has become a
euphemism for open borders with
Mexico. And you only need one look
at some of what’s going on in Mexico
and now in border states to see why
that’s a bad idea. This doesn’t bother
CEO’s who live in gated
communities, get driven to work in
limousines and think they’re immune
from the problem. Whose exposure to
Mexico is through high end resorts
and servile waiting staffs who are
happy to have a job. And that’s
exactly the culture they think they’re
bringing to America. Cheap labor
catering to their whims. They have no
idea what reality is, and they don’t
care.
Bloomberg more cynically makes the
case that companies are outsourcing
because of immigration restrictions
“Immigrants have always been an
essential part of America’s economic
strength,” said Mayor Bloomberg.
“This coalition was formed to change
our current immigration policy,
which is undermining our economy
and threatening our status as the
world’s leading power. Too many
innovative new companies, and the
jobs they create, are being formed
overseas because entrepreneurs can’t
get a green card to start them here.
We need to break the legislative
stalemate that has taken over
Congress if we want the U.S. to
remain competitive in the 21st
century.”
Again Bloomberg, like Murdoch
conflates HB1 type workers (which is
another issue) with what he’s actually
proposing, which is the legalization
of illegal aliens. We don’t have a lot
of illegal aliens holding down those
kinds of jobs.
And America has booming
immigration numbers, yet somehow
corporations are still outsourcing.
Now with huge unemployment
figures, are employers really leaving
America because they can’t find
workers? Is it because we’re denying
citizenship to some sort of specialists
that can only be found abroad? That’s
not the reality of the situation.
Corporations outsource because of
the regulatory environment in the US,
which applies high taxes and
minimum wages. You don’t need a
large human resources staff in China.
You don’t need to pay them more
than a fraction of what they’re paid in
the US. You don’t even need to care
if they kill themselves.
While yuppies crowd into lines to be
the first to get the latest iPhones,
those phones are made by Foxconn
workers, hundreds of thousands of
migrants, crowded into dormitories,
subjected to regulations that would
not even pass muster in an American
prison, who were being paid around
135 dollars a month. Pressure on
Apple and Foxconn has doubled
salary. Which just means that sooner
or later, Apple will move on to a
country with even cheaper labor. This
is likely to happen once China
becomes middle class and workers
get used to a base salary and some
expectations of how they should be
treated.
This already happened in America.
And the only place the clock is turned
back is around illegal aliens. Which is
exactly why businesses love them.
But then they demand that the
government legalize them and take
them off their hands. And then more
illegal aliens are brought in to replace
them.
Some corporations are just looking to
squash competition from companies
that do employ illegal aliens. Others
genuinely believe this is some kind of
solution, which means that they are
completely in denial.
For the mayors the payoff is obvious.
Legalization means more federal
social services dollars and more
voters come election day, to shoulder
aside those pesky natives who don’t
want to pay more taxes or see their
city implode. As corporations pass
the cost to the cities, the cities want to
pass the cost to the Federal
government, while benefiting from
ladling out federal money to
supporters in ethnic communities,

The UN must try Iran’s 1988 murderers
by NoahDavidSimon (Hija del

I never thought there would be a
U.K. Guardian article that I thought
was worth reposting, but it would
seem the information I had that made
me suspicious of the Green
Revolution was true. The leaders of
the resistance are part of the same

hunts them down. When will the
populists realize that they are pushing
hope without reason is the formula
for despair and no hope. So why were
the so called progressives trying to
market this guy as a good
Revolutionary? Wasn’t Arafat of
Palestine bad enough?
The mass murderers of 1988 now
hold power in Tehran. The world
must make them face justice
Geoffrey Robertson guardian.co.uk
This weekend marks the first
anniversary of the death of
democracy in Iran – the rigged
election which the Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared lost
by reform candidate Mir Hossein
Mousavi. Afterwards protesters were
shot dead in the street and taken for
torture to Tehran’s notorious Evin
prison; several have been hanged as
mohareb– enemies of God. This
intolerance of dissent should have
come as no surprise: this is the same
regime that got away with the murder
of thousands of political prisoners –
and has never been called to account.
It happened in the summer of 1988,
after the war with Iraq ended in a
bitter truce. Iran’s prisons were full of
students sentenced for protesting
against Ayatollah Khomeini in the
early 1980s – Marxists and leftists of
all varieties and supporters of the
Mujahedin-e Khalq Organisation – a
guerrilla movement with a different
version of Islam. They had been
sorted by prison officials into groups
of those who remained “steadfast” in
their political beliefs or who were
apostates. The regime decided they
should be eradicated so they would
not trouble the postwar government,
and Khomeini issued a secret fatwa
authorising their execution.
Revolutionary guards descended on
the prisons and a “death committee”
(an Islamic judge, a revolutionary
prosecutor and an intelligence
ministry official) took a minute or so
to identify each prisoner, declare
them mohareb and direct them to the
gallows erected in the prison
auditorium, where they were hanged
six at a time. Later their bodies were
doused in disinfectant and transported
in meat trucks to mass graves. Their
belongings were returned in plastic
bags to their families three months
later, but the regime still refuses to
reveal the location of the graves and
continues to forbid relatives from
gathering at one site which has been
identified in a Tehran cemetery.
Comparisons between atrocities are
invidious, but this involved almost as
many casualties as Srebrenica and
was a cold-blooded killing by the
state of prisoners after the war had
ended. It bears some comparison to
the death marches of allied prisoners
at the end of the second world war –
the Japanese generals responsible
were sentenced to death at the Tokyo
trials. So who was responsible for the
Iranian prison slaughter?
Ayatollah Khomeini is dead. But the
three leading figures of his regime are
still very much alive, and available to
be put on trial in an international
court. The then president, Ali
Khamenei, is now Iran’s Supreme
Leader – the man who endorsed last
year’s rigged election. Ali Rafsanjani,
still a powerful political player, was
then the commander of the
Revolutionary Guard, who were
ordered to carry out the killings. Then
there is the man who in 1988 was
Iran’s prime minister – Mir Hussein
Mousavi, today’s reform movement
leader.
Mousavi was challenged at election
meetings last year by chants of “1988
but has declined to tell what he
knows of the mass murder. In the
course of an inquiry conducted for the
US-based Abdorrahman Boroumand
Foundation I have come across an
interview he gave to Austrian
television in December 1988. In
answer to allegations Amnesty
International was making, he
dishonestly said the prisoners were
planning an uprising: “We had to
crush the conspiracy – in that respect
we have no mercy.” He appealed to
western intellectuals to support the
right of revolutionary governments to
take “decisive action” against
enemies. It is an irony that the regime
he defended with such hypocrisy now
crushes his own supporters without
mercy.
But this is what happens when
political and military leaders are
vouchsafed impunity. The UN did not
bother about Saddam Hussein’s use
3
of poison gas at Halabja earlier that
year, and it turned a deaf ear to
Amnesty reports about the prison
slaughter (Iranian diplomats claimed
the deaths had occurred in battle). But
there is no statute of limitations on
prosecuting crimes against humanity,
and the mass murder of prisoners
already serving sentences for political
protests must count as one of the
gravest of unpunished crimes. The
fact that they were killed ostensibly
because they did not believe in God –
the God of the ayatollah’s revolution
– makes their slaughter a form of
genocide: the destruction of a group
because of its attitude to religion.
Most of the judges and officials who
implemented the fatwa are still in
high office in Tehran – under a
supreme leader who, when asked
about killing prisoners replied: “Do
you think we should have given them
sweets?” There is still time for the
UN security council to enforce
international law by setting up a court
to try the perpetrators of the prison
massacres. This may be a better way
to deal with a theocracy whose
behaviour in 1988 provides the best
reason for concern over its future
behaviour with nuclear weapons.

Israeli protesters press Binyamin Netanyahu to
help free abducted soldier Gilad Shalit

Submitted at 6/26/2010 4:06:15 PM
Supporters of the soldier seized by
Hamas four years ago begin a march
to Jerusalem to secure his freedom
Thousands of Israelis are expected to
join a 12-day march across the
country beginning today to put
pressure on their government to
secure the release of Gilad Shalit, the
soldier abducted by Hamas four years
ago.
The Shalit family and their
supporters will set out from their
home in Mitzpe Hila, Galilee, and
take a winding route through Israel to
Jerusalem. They hope to be joined by
artists, musicians, rabbis, activists
and “tens of thousands” of ordinary
people. On arrival in Jerusalem,
Noam Shalit, Gilad’s father, plans to
establish a protest tent outside the
home of the Israeli prime minister,
Binyamin Netanyahu, where he has
pledged to remain until his son is
freed.
“We don’t see any alternative after
four years of government failure to
obtain the release of my son,” Shalit
told the Observer. “There have been
many, many failures, but now it’s
time to put public pressure on the
government.”
The Shalits yesterday released a
video urging Netanyahu to “pay the
price” necessary for Gilad’s release.
In a direct appeal, Noam Shalit says:

Sanctions are not the solution
by Carl in Jerusalem (Hija del
Zion para Israel - Daughter of
Zion for Israel)
Submitted at 6/26/2010 2:48:00 PM
Sanctions are not the solution
Congress passed tougher sanctions
against Iran this week. We’ve already
seen one representative urging
President Obama to use the sanctions
rather than waive them (and there
were others), but the real key here is
that the sanctions are not the end but
the means for trying to stop Iran from
obtaining a nuclear weapon. And
when they prove to be insufficient, as
is likely to be the case, further action
must be taken.
We aren’t likely to know whether
sanctions are “working,” and the
Iranians are quite likely to exploit the
additional time to stave off other
measures. How are we to know if
work stops on the mullahs’ nuclear
programs? And if the Iranians declare
that they will return to the bargaining
table, what is to prevent them, as they
did last year, from practicing the
decisions.” Asked if “the price” – the
release of 1,000 Palestinian prisoners
– was too high for one soldier, he
said: “The price is not our business to
deal with.”
An opinion poll published on Friday
showed that almost 75% of Israelis
support the release of Palestinian
prisoners serving sentences for
militant attacks in return for Shalit’s
freedom.
His fate has huge resonance in Israel,
where military service is a
requirement. Most families can
identify closely with the Shalits’ loss.
Gilad Shalit, then 19, was abducted
and two other Israeli soldiers killed
when militants burrowed underneath
the border in southern Gaza to raid a
military post on 25 June, 2006.
The Shalit family has asked Hamas
to permit an exchange of letters,
which has been refused, according to
their lawyer Nick Kaufman. The
International Red Cross has also been
denied access, which Hamas says
could reveal the soldier’s location,
leading to an Israeli raid or air strike.
Hamas last week claimed it had
allowed Shalit to watch the France v
Mexico World Cup match. Shalit,
who has dual Israeli-French
nationality, was “very sad” at
France’s defeat, Hamas’s al-Aqsa
satellite TV station reported.
There has been no direct proof-of-
life evidence since Hamas released a
video of the soldier last autumn, in
which he was holding a Palestinian
newspaper dated 14 September 2009,
in exchange for the release of 20
same game of delay as they continue
with their plans? The problem, it
seems, is not merely the absence of
effective tools to force a change in
the Iranians’ conduct but also the will
and determination to use those tools
in a meaningful way.
Obama set the pattern last year —
withholding support for the Green
movement, muting the reaction to the
Qom revelation, and allowing
deadline after deadline to pass. From
all this the mullahs have learned that
very little is required to hold the U.S.
at bay and that we are overeager to
avoid confrontation. At every turn,
they have bested Obama and the
“international community” and
bought themselves breathing room.
The sanctions, therefore, are not the
solution to the Iranian threat. Rather
than congratulating the administration
for passing sanctions after nearly a
year and a half, Congress and pro-
Israel groups must make clear that
“containment” is not an option and
that we will use military force and
provide Israel with unconditional
women prisoners being held by Israel.
The Israeli media is backing the
renewed Shalit family campaign, with
most newspapers urging the
government to strike a deal over his
release.
Intense negotiations – brokered by
the German intelligence agency, the
BND – to reach an agreement with
Hamas foundered earlier this year.
Each side blames the other for the
impasse.
Hamas’s list of prisoners to be
released in exchange for Shalit is
believed to include Marwan
Barghouti, a popular Fatah leader
serving five life sentences, and
Ahmed Saadat, leader of the Popular
Front for the Liberation of Palestine,
who Israel believes was behind the
assassination of tourism minister
Rehavam Zeevi in 2001. “A deal is
on the table,” said Kaufman. “It was
brokered with the full co-operation of
both sides. Israel essentially agreed to
release the Palestinian prisoners, but
to date Hamas hasn’t given a formal
response.”
According to Mahmoud Zahar, a
senior Hamas official, negotiations
came to a halt after the personal
intervention of Netanyahu. Zahar told
the Observer he was “fed up” with
talking about Shalit but referred to
earlier comments he had made
blaming the Israelis for the
breakdown in negotiations. However,
there have also been suggestions that
the deal was vetoed by Khaled
Meshaal, the Hamas leader based in
Damascus.
support if necessary. “Passed useless
sanctions and allowed Iran to go
nuclear” is not a result from which
the president, lawmakers, or
American Jewry will recover. And it
is not an outcome Israelis can
tolerate.
Indeed.

Mark Regev, Netanyahu’s
spokesman, said: “We have a
responsibility as a government to
bring back Gilad Shalit. But the
prime minister also has a collective
responsibility, and to sign on the
bottom line of Hamas’s demands
would not be fulfilling that.”

who return the favor by voting for
them. Game, set and match.
But none of this is good for the
economy. Even if we ignore the
social issues, this is hardly the time to
promote more unemployment or
government spending. Bloomberg
and the CEO’s are doing the Obama
Administration a favor, and I
wouldn’t be too surprised if this
Partnership for a New American
Economy was even solicited by the
White House. But their contempt for
what the voters actually want is truly
stunning.
The marketplace does not reward this
strange combination of workplace
regulation and immigration
deregulation. It’s like pouring water
through a blocked hose. All you’re
going to do is break the hose. That’s
what has been happening to the
American economy, as businesses
import cheap labor in a system where
cheap labor is illegal. That has driven
the growth of illegal labor and off the
books jobs in ethnic communities.
But all that means is people using the
system’s social services, without
paying into it. Immigration “reform”
advocates argue that legalization will
fix this by having them pay into the
system. What they ignore is the fact
that the only reason they’re viable, is
because they’re economically viable
is because they’re not paying into the
system.
Outsourcing and companies
departing for climes with cheaper
labor will continue. There may not be
much we can do about it, besides
applying tariffs, a notion that would
give those same CEO’s fits. But
unless we can either automate more
efficiently, block cheaper products or
educate and organize people that
buying more expensive but better
made products is the thing to do– the
same process will continue.
But pushing legalization will
accomplish nothing except to help
drown the middle class. The south
relied on slave labor, which created a
wider gap between those on the top
and on the bottom. The north relied
on immigrant labor in its factories.
Some of those immigrants were
treated almost as badly as the slaves,
but they did have enough mobility to
be able to move up or to have their
children and grandchildren move up
into the middle class. But that same
process can no longer work, when the
middle class is being taxed to
subsidize a dependent lifestyle for the
people on the bottom. As a result
those in the middle are sinking and
those on the bottom have no real
incentive to rise. If they want
consumer products, there are credit
cards. If they want homes, the
government will subsidize their
mortgage.
The American Dream increasingly
no longer makes sense, as people live
on credit and government
entitlements. The big businesses and
the government see no problem with
any of this. The taxpayer sees half the
problem with this picture. But it’s
only half the problem.
Governments and corporations are
drowning the middle class in reckless
spending. The bill keeps being passed
along. Illegal immigration is just one
snapshot of a much bigger problem,
which is the end of responsibility.
Where leaders once thought
generations ahead, now they hardly
think a year ahead. And the mountain
of debt rises. Problems aren’t fixed
anymore, they’re perpetuated and
labeled as wise policies. Money is
spent and the bill is passed, and then
it’s passed again and again. Until the
system breaks down, and then the bill
is passed to someone else. Until
finally something that is too big to
fail, actually does fail, and there’s no
one bigger around to bail it out.
Real leadership requires recognizing
the nature of a problem, and to
understand both the positive and
negative consequences of every
proposed solution. Illegal
immigration for cheap labor is the
dark side of an American Dream
achieved through regulating business.
Legalization is as pointless as
pointing to a factory’s polluted
groundwater runoff and talking up its
benefits. It redefines the problem and
ignores its negative consequences.
That is not leadership. That is spin.
And we’re drowning in it.
For the Republican party to get
serious about stopping illegal
immigration, it needs to take a long
hard look at big business, and have a
serious dialogue with them about the
tax based consequences to their own
companies of increased social
services spending. And for the
5
Republican party to get serious,
conservatives need to actually take a
hard line on it, instead of letting the
Chamber of Commerce and the
CATO Institute have the inside track.
Because the road we’re going on now
has a station coming up, and it’s
called Europe. We’re not there yet,
but we’re getting there. And when we
get there, we’ll cease to have a
functional economy altogether. All
we’ve have are entitlements,
subsidies and a half-forgotten dream
of former glory.

Netanyahu’s blunder
by Carl in Jerusalem (Hija del
Zion para Israel - Daughter of
Zion for Israel)
Submitted at 6/26/2010 7:22:00 PM
Netanyahu’s blunder Was Prime
Minister Netanyahu wrong to ease up
on the Gaza blockade? Benjamin
Kerstein argues that the mistake
wasn’t the easing up but easing up
after the flotilla incident.
While there is no doubt that he was
under immense pressure to ease the
blockade, particularly from President
Barack Obama, and may have
concluded that the blockade is a
justifiable sacrifice for the cause of
enlisting American support against
Iran, none of this mitigates
Netanyahu’s responsibility for
placing Israel in this ludicrous
position. In the first days after the
flotilla incident, he played his usual
defiant role, laying responsibility for
the flotilla violence squarely on the
thugs aboard and projecting the
image of a resolute statesman
unwilling to bow to unjust demands.
It took him slightly less than a month
to fold, and it is a spectacular fold
indeed. He has vindicated Turkish
Prime Minister Erdogan’s
brinksmanship in supporting the
flotilla, proven to Obama once and
for all that Israel can indeed be
pushed around, undermined and
humiliated Israel’s defenders around
the world, and handed the flotilla
activists precisely the victory they
wanted. They never got close to

• Hamas attacked Red Cresecnt –
confirmed Early Friday morning I
reported that Hamas attacked a Red
Crescent headquarters in Gaza,
Israeli territorial waters, but they
succeeded in breaking the blockade
nonetheless, and it was Netanyahu, of
all people, who led them through.
At the same time, it is almost
impossible to imagine what the prime
minister hopes to gain from his
concession. It almost unthinkable that
the Obama administration will
actively aid him against Iran in the
way he hopes. So long as the AKP
remains in power, no amount of
concessions will appease the Turkish
desire to realign itself with Islamic
theocracy. The international
community has not the slightest
intention of treating Israel with
anything resembling fairness or
sympathy, and as the EU
announcement shows, they are more
than prepared to pressure Israel for
further concessions, each more
dangerous than the last. In fact, the
only way Netanyahu’s actions make
sense is if they are the result of
shallow and simplistic wishful
thinking, a far cry indeed from
Netanyahu’s carefully cultivated
media persona as a hardened realist.
It must be said that all of this renders
a serious judgment on the prime
minister; because this is not,
unfortunately, the first time this sort
of thing has occurred. Throughout his
career, Netanyahu has attempted to
reap the rewards of defiant, tough-
minded rhetoric, portraying himself
as the one Israeli politician willing to
stand up to threats from Israel’s
enemies and misguided demands

files. I predicted that Ma'an wouldn't

from its friends. But every time this
alleged toughness has been put to the
test, he has failed spectacularly. From
the Hebron Accords and the Wye
negotiations during his first term in
the late 1990s to the settlement freeze
and now the blockade in his second,
Netanyahu has said much about his
courage and convictions and, in the
end, done nothing whatsoever to
indicate that he possesses either. Each
time serious political pressure has
been brought to bear, he has folded,
usually in highly ignominious
fashion. And each time, Israel has
been damaged politically while
gaining nothing in return.
This time, I fear, is no different. Had
Netanyahu simply conceded the
blockade from the beginning, the
same result would have ensued, and
Israel would have been spared the
unjust but inevitable criticism that
resulted. Instead, the prime minister
made a show of sticking to his guns,
failing to understand that if you

He has a point. I’d rather see
