Youtube User Combines Copyright Infringement and Anti-Israel Vandalism
This is getting weird. Really weird.
It's one thing to take copyrighted material – in this case a detective series produced by the British Broadcasting Company – and post it on Youtube.
It's another thing altogether to vandalize that video by pasting anti-Israel propaganda into the video so that you can foist your ideas on unsuspecting viewers.
But that is what one Youtube user, who goes by the moniker "Justice4All," has done. He has posted a number of episodes of the British television show "Midsomer Murders" on Youtube and posted propaganda for the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign.
Here's proof:
How ironic. Not only is "Justice4all" a copyright thief, he (or she) is a vandal (and an anti-Israel kook to boot).
For those who are interested, Midsomer Murders show is produced, by the way, by ITV.

A Moment of Silence For the Terrorists
The Times of Israel and a few other publications report that the Jordanian Parliament observed a moment of silence for the perpetrators of the Jerusalem synagogue massacre. It will be interesting to see if this is confirmed in other news media. It will also be interesting to see if this event garners any mention in the mainstream media including The New York Times.
Jordan was the second Arab state to make peace with Israel and it is the state with which the Israeli leadership has the closest relationship. It also boasts a population that is virulently anti-Semitic. A recent ADL survey of global anti-Semitism ranked Jordan eighth in the world in the proportion of its population that holds anti-Semitic views, with 81 percent of the population falling into that category.
The visceral hostility of Jordan's population toward Israel and toward Jews in general is an issue that the media is loath to cover and that officials avoid. But avoiding problems doesn't make them go away.

Noah Browning's Shocking Moral Equation
A tweet posted by Reuters correspondent Noah Browning in the aftermath of the synagogue bloodbath revealed an appalling callousness to the loss of Jewish lives, as well as a shocking obtuseness in his understanding of events.
This was posted just hours after the savage butchery that left four Jewish worshipers and a young police officer dead and others blind, comatose or severely injured.
Perhaps Browning believed he was revealing an unconventional but clever insight by comparing a damaged Quran, whose burning he unquestioningly attributed to Jews, with a prayer book soaked in blood shed by Palestinian terrorists. But what his outrageous moral equation actually revealed was his own cold-hearted disdain both for Jewish lives and for journalistic integrity.
In fact, the circumstances of the fire at the mosque where the Quran was found were uncertain and debated. While Palestinians blamed the fire on a "Price Tag" arson attack by Jewish extremists, an investigative reporter raised questions about the cause of the fire when he discovered a burnt fuse box and nearby space heater at the site -- commonly evidence of an electrical fire.
Perhaps Reuters should reconsider entrusting its coverage of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to a reporter with such lack of judgement and understanding.

Palestinians Butcher Israelis, Wall Street Journal Pivots to Blaming Israel
Joshua Mitnick and Nicholas Casey, correspondents for the Wall Street Journal, have long evidenced a bias favoring the Palestinians in their reporting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But in recent months this bias has spun out of control. In a deluge of articles on the upsurge in violence around Jerusalem starting in October, Mitnick and Casey have struck a monotonic chord that always points to Israeli actions and policies as the problem.
Even after the most recent case in which two Palestinians butchered four rabbis praying in a synagogue readers are not spared the usual spin. On November 20, page A10 of the Journal published two articles on the violence encompassing nearly the entire page. The top-of-the-page headline states, "Israel Destroys Home of Car-Attack Suspect."
The entire thrust of the article is to condemn Israel for "reviving an internationally condemned demolition policy." In mantra fashion, each paragraph begins with a harsh Israeli action or a criticism of Israeli action.
Paragraph two starts with "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened a harsh response..."
Paragraph three starts with a description of the action taken by Israeli soldiers against the family of one of the terrorists.
Paragraph four starts with "The demolition marked the return of one of israel's m ost controversial policies..."
Paragraph five starts with "The U.S. views home destruction as counterproductive..."
Paragraph six starts with "Palestinians and rights groups say home demolitions aren't a deterrent and only encourage families to seek revenge, fueling a vicious cycle."
Paragraph seven starts with a quote from a pro-Palestinian leftist group B'Tselem, "You cannot punish people for other people's actions."
Where is the discussion of the Palestinian actions; relentless official incitement to violence based on instilling in its youth a vengeance-driven sense of victimization; Muslim religious doctrine that fuels intolerance of Jews. The failure to attribute Palestinian responsibility to the current violence indicates a patronizing, soft-bigotry on the part of Mitnick and Casey toward the Palestinians.
The second article "Jerusalem's Jews and Arabs are Fearful after Massacre" provides more of the same one-sided coverage. It opens with the claim that "A heightened sense of fear and division gripped both Jews and Arabs of this city..." Except that in reality, there is not parity here. There have been two innocent Arab victims versus sixteen Israeli ones (fourteen Jews and two Druze) in Jerusalem and the West Bank since June when three Israeli teenagers were kidnapped and murdered. The deadly violence and the murderous provocation is overwhelmingly on the Arab side and has been consistently for many years.
Mitnick and Casey then engage in revisionist history as they contend that the "current crisis has been in the making since Israel captured the city's eastern districts from Jordan in the 1967 war..." They have chosen a convenient starting point, as the chronology of Arab violence against Jews in Jerusalem in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s apparently doesn't count. Why not point to the ethnic cleansing of Jews from eastern Jerusalem in 1949 as the starting point?
Mitnick and Casey allege that it was the Israeli leader's neglect of Palestinian neighborhoods that is to blame. The incitement to hating Jews and the persistent urging by Palestinian leaders to engage in violence doesn't make it into their account. Nor does praise for the terrorists as "martyrs" from the most influential institutions in Palestinian society matter. In fact, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas made a point of praising the attempted assassin of Jewish activist Yehuda Glick as a "martyr." Such topics reside in a black hole that neither Mitnick nor Casey has the inclination to grapple with. It might require them to push beyond the boundaries of their comfort zone in blaming Israeli authorities.
It would be bad enough if these unbalanced articles were presented in an editorial or opinion piece. But what makes Mitnick's and Casey's articles particularly detestable is that their one-sided account is offered under the guise of reporting the news.
The Wall Street Journal can do better.

CBS This Morning Flubs Important Detail About Synagogue Attack
CBS This Morning flubbed an important detail about yesterday's attack at a synagogue attack that left five people dead. In the introduction to a correspondent's report about the attack, CBS journalist Norah O'Donnell reported that "It happened at a contested religious site in Jerusalem."
The Kehilat Yaakov Synagogue where the attack took place is no such thing. The Har Nof neighborhood where the synagogue is located is in the western part of Jerusalem. It is not a "contested religious site."
Update: CBS News has removed the video in question.

Where's the Coverage? Hezbollah Terrorists Active in South America
Peruvian authorities will charge a Lebanese man, Mohammed Amadar, arrested last month in Lima after he confessed to being a member of Hezbollah and had been found with traces of TNT on his hands and in his apartment.
The Times of Israel wrote:
The suspect was reportedly gathering intelligence on Jewish institutions and places frequented by Israeli hikers. Authorities said that they were questioning Amadar to learn more about his intended targets.
According to a report in Haaretz, citing the local La Republica newspaper, Amadar arrived in Peru in November 2013 and married a woman with both Peruvian and American citizenship just two weeks later. The couple left for Brazil, and then returned to Peru earlier this year.
Peruvian authorities were tipped off to Amadar's alleged activities by the Israeli intelligence service Mossad, and he was questioned after returning to Peru.
Authorities kept him under constant surveillance, discovering that neither he nor his wife worked, but received Western Union money transfers, a method often used by Hezbollah.
And Reuters reported:
The United States has designated Hezbollah a foreign terrorist organization since 1997, and U.S. officials have sought to limit the group's operations in South America.
They have expressed concern in particular about Iran supporting Hezbollah activities around the triple border area of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil.
Yet, despite the Reuters story and the coverage in the local and Israeli press, no major media outlets reported this story.
As the negotiations continue between Iran and the P5+1 (the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council – the United States, France, the United Kingdom, China and Russia – plus Germany) on the extent to which Iran will be allowed to continue its nuclear program, Iranian-backed terrorists are operating in America's back yard. This doesn't warrant reporting in mainstream media outlets? Of course it does. So… Where's the coverage?

CNN Apologizes for Problematic Headline
Earlier today, we pointed to CNN's headline about the Palestinian terror attack on a Jerusalem synagogue, which failed to make any distinction between the perpetrators and the victims.
CNN, we noted, eventually changed the headline from "4 Israelis, 2 Palestinians killed in synagogue attack, Israeli police say" to the somewhat more descriptive "4 Israelis killed in synagogue attack, Israeli police say." The current headline, even more detailed but still in the passive voice, reads "Israel: 4 dead after men with knives, gun attack Jerusalem synagogue."
To its credit, CNN has also apologized for its initial headline. According to the Jerusalem Post, the network has explained that
As CNN updated its reporting on the terrorist attack on the synagogue in Jerusalem earlier today, our coverage did not immediately reflect the fact that the two Palestinians killed were the attackers. We erred and regret the mistake.

Jerusalem Terror: A Rorschach Test for Buzzfeed
Jon Passantino writes in Buzzfeed this morning:
Why the scare quotes? Mr. Passantino, what do you call it when Palestinian attackers wielding axes, knives and guns mow down worshippers in a crowded synagogue still wrapped in their prayer shawls and phylacteries?

In CNN Headline on Jerusalem Terror, Integrity is Another Casualty
As another Palestinian terrorist brutally cuts short the lives of innocent Israeli civilians going about their daily lives -- in this case, the victims were Jewish worshippers carrying out their morning prayers in a busy synagogue -- yet another major news source publishes a headline casting the murderers as the victims.
Last month, when a Palestinian driver slammed his vehicle into a crowd of pedestrians, killing two, the initial AP headline was:
Similarly, following the brutal terror attack this morning in which two armed terrorists massacred worshippers in their prayer shawls and phylacteries in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Har Nof, the initial headline was:
Shortly later, the relatively improved headline was:
The headline's passive language, however, still fails to note that Palestinians killed the Israelis.

United Arab Emirates' List of Terrorist Groups Makes Waves
On Nov. 16, 2014, the United Arab Emirates [UAE] published a list containing what it considers to be terrorist groups.
Notably, the list includes the Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR], which has had relations with American law enforcement groups like the FBI and has had involvement with American schools. Also included was the Muslim America Society [MAS], which is active on college campuses.
Here is the official translated announcement and list.
It will be interesting to see how much coverage this gets in the mainstream media.

International Business Times Headline Fail
The International Business Times tripped up on this headline last week:
Yehuda Glick, the target of attempted murder, is an activist who campaigns for Jewish prayers rights on the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site. He has not been involved in any violence, nor does he belong to any banned or militant group which would qualify him as a "militant." The reporter, Lewis Dean, accurately identified Glick as "Temple Mount activist Yehuda Glick."
Here's Glick explaining his vision, including equal access to the Temple Mount site for Muslims, Christians and Jews. Also, below is a clip of Glick praying for peace on the Temple Mount together with Muslim worshippers.
CAMERA has requested a correction. Stay tuned for an update.

LA Times' Double Standards on Jerusalem
Recent Los Angeles Times' coverage the Temple Mount's importance in Islam and Judaism is marred by a double standard.
Two articles in the last week have noted that the contested site is "the third-holiest site in Islam," but at the same time they neglected to note that it is also the most sacred site in Judaism.
Laura King and Batsheva Sobelman wrote in Thursday's print edition:
Jewish activists' calls to lift the prayer ban have fueled the Palestinian fear that Israel is trying to take over the plateau, which includes Al Aqsa mosque, the third-holiest site in Islam.
Similarly, King and Solbelman reported the next day:
Al Aqsa mosque, which is in the hilltop compound, is considered the third-holiest site in Islam. Jews revere the mount as the site of their ancient temples.
If an article notes that the Temple Mount is Islam's third holiest site, then it should also note that it is Judaism's most sacred site.
In the past, Batsheva Sobelman has correctly reported on this issue. Most recently, on Oct. 31, she commendably reported: "Temple Mount is considered the holiest site in Judaism, and Al Aqsa is regarded as the third-holiest site in Islam."
In a separate glaring omission, the two articles of last week point to "growing Jewish presence in parts of the city the Palestinians seek to make the capital of their future state" as fueling growing tension and violence in Jerusalem. (In the other article, the wording is "the enlargement of Jewish enclaves in traditionally Arab parts of the city has been a source of growing anger.")
The articles fail to note that, in addition, increased Palestinian incitement, including originating from President Abbas' own government, has fueled tension and violence. For instance, days before the attempted murder of Rabbi Yehuda Glick, Abbas himself has declared that "all means must be used to prevent Jews from going up to the Haram."

Juden Raus! Norway Anti-Racist Group Demands Exclusion of Jews From Kristallnacht Commemoration
In recent years, anti-Zionist radicals have schemed to transform Holocaust commemorations into occasions to demonize Israel and implicitly, most Jews. Often, as was the case several years ago with an event at Northeastern University in Massachusetts, the schemers found willing collaborators and dupes among event organizers. In Norway, where anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism are two sides of the same coin, a self-described anti-racist organization, SOS racisme, used its position as an organizer of an event to commemorate Kristallnacht to demand that Zionists (a.k.a. Jews willing to show up as unabashed Jews) be barred from participating.
A letter sent to the organization's European headquarters in Paris and published on-line from Erez Uriely, who signed as the Director of the Norwegian Israel Center Against anti-Semitism (NIS), states the following:
Dear Executives of the SOS Racisme,
We hereby ask for your kind assistance in the following matter.
During the commemoration of the Crystal Night in Oslo, 9 November this year, the Norwegian branch of SOS Racisme, as a main sponsor of the arrangement, acted to prevent a group of Jews to participate in the official commemoration arrangement the way they have done for nearly 60 years, by gathering in prayer under the Israeli flag wearing kipa and talit. To prevent these Jews and a few of their Norwegian friends (about 15 persons) from participating according to Jewish tradition, the sponsor, SOS Rasisme, told the police that this group had in mind to impair the arrangement, and thus had this group, of mainly old and partly disabled people, removed from the city centre by the police under threat of imprisonment if they did not obey. The police told them that mortally dangerous people would be in the streets during the arrangement, and that precaution therefore had to be taken also for their personal safety.It is important to underline that this group of Jews had no intention of making any kind of separate demonstration against the official arrangement; they carried no banners or slogans, and they represented no particular organizations.
SOS Racisme was founded in France and bills itself as the largest anti-racist organization in Europe. It has chapters in a number of European countries. A recent chief executive officer of the Norwegian branch, Kjell Gunnar Larsen, was arrested in April 2014 and charged with embezzling funds for the past ten years. The organization has also come under scrutiny as a result of in-fighting in which ousted members claim the organization was taken over by Marxist-Leninist-Maoists, a veritable radical-left trifecta.
It was only last year that the French branch of SOS Racisme joined with other groups to combat anti-Semitism on Twitter. What appears to be happening here is an example of far-left extremists taking over a vulnerable organization and using it to promote their anti-Zionist/anti-Jewish agenda. This is not uncommon. In the United States, an academic group, the American Studies Association, was taken over by similarly-minded radicals and used to pass an anti-Israel resolution. In this case, the organization was discredited, but far-reaching damage is done when formerly scholarly or humanitarian organizations are taken over and used for nefarious purposes by extremists.
It might be recalled that Kristallnacht was a government inspired and directed pogrom against Germany's Jewish community. It punctuated the isolation of the Jews from German society and heralded their eventual mass murder in lands occupied by Germany several years later. The irony is inescapable that this group seeks to do to the Norway's Jewish community what the Nazis intended to do when they organized Kristallnacht - namely to ostracize it.
The most recent reports on the controversy indicate that those in charge of the event did not agree to exclude Jews and as a result SOS Racisme boycotted it. However, a vocal critic of Israel will be speaking at it. A similar commemoration in Denmark turned into a fundraiser for Gaza. The trend here is unmistakable. Expect Holocaust commemorations to increasingly be turned into venues to express contempt towards Israel and solidarity with enemies of the Jewish people.

International Law Expert Says Gaza Not Occupied
Hamas gunmen who control the Gaza Strip
We've commented before on the unquestioning acceptance by some journalists of the view that the Gaza Strip remains occupied even after Israel's pullout, despite disagreement within the scholarly community about the question. Eugene Kontorovich, Yuval Shani, Eyal Benvenisti, Ruth Lapidoth, Elizabeth Samson, Solon Solomon, Benjamin Rubin, Avi Bell, and Justus Reid Weiner have all argued the territory is no longer under Israeli occupation.
In a piece in the Washington Post's Volokh Conspiracy today, Kontorovich elaborates on "Why Gaza is not remotely occupied," as his headline puts it.
An occupation is traditionally defined as a power exercising "effective control" over the territory in a way that displaces the prior government. The occupying power is expected to provide law and order, essential services, and all the basic functions of government – and is thus required to have the kind of control that allows for that. As the ICJ has put it, occupation requires a territory to be "actually placed under the authority of the hostile army." There has never been a finding of a such "remote" occupation, lasting nine years after the end of physical occupation and in the presence of a distinct and hostile local government. Indeed, even puppet governments are not considered occupation by the puppet master.
You can read more, including how the recent precedent of Uganda v. Congo should inform views of the Gaza situation, at the source here.
Update: And definitely don't miss part II of Kontorovich's argument, in which he explains how, according to the problematic logic used by some, Gaza actually occupies Israel.

Where's the Coverage? Joint Chief Chairman Declares "Israel Went to Extraordinary Lengths" to Protect Gaza Civilians
Discussing Operation Protective Edge at a forum at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in New York City, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin Dempsey stated:
I actually do think that Israel went to extraordinary lengths to limit collateral damage and civilian casualties.
In this kind of conflict, where you are held to a standard that your enemy is not held to, you're going to be criticized for civilian casualties.
To their credit, Reuters reported this speech and The Volokh Conspiracy, a blog affiliated with though not under the editorial control of The Washington Post, ran a piece. It was covered in niche publications as well as the Jewish and Israeli press, but none of the major news outlets reported this remarkable admission.
Especially since it was already published by Reuters, it would have been easy for news media to report on America's top general stating unequivocally that Israel went to extraordinary lengths to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza. But they didn't.
The Times of Israel wrote::
Dempsey listed Israel Defense Forces measures such as the "roof-knocking" and the dropping of warning leaflets as part of their attempts to protect civilian lives.
"The IDF is not interested in creating civilian casualties. They're interested in stopping the shooting of rockets and missiles out of the Gaza Strip and into Israel," Dempsey argued.
The American general recounted that an American delegation visited Israel three months ago to learn lessons from the conflict, "to include the measures they took to prevent civilian casualties and what they did with tunneling."
Dempsey's statements stand in stark contrast to a recent Amnesty International report accusing Israel of displaying "callous indifference" in attacks on family homes in the densely populated coastal area.
Naturally, the Amnesty International report critical of Israel was widely reported in such major outlets as The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Time Magazine, Newsweek, The Guardian and many more. Yet, when it comes to something positive - and true! - about Israel… Where's the coverage?

NY Times Headlines: A Study in Contrasts
When it comes to double standards in coverage about Israelis versus Palestinians, The New York Times delivers without fail.
Yesterday we noted how New York Times editors modified what had been a clear headline about a fatal Palestinian attack ("Palestinian Stabs Israeli Soldier at Tel Aviv Train Station") in order to downplay Palestinian violence. The result was:
Note the passive language ("Palestinians are suspected") which downplays Palestinian culpability, as does the formulation that the Israelis "die," as opposed to "are killed." Moreover, editors inserted the word "suspected," though Islamic Jihad and Hamas had already confirmed that the culprits were Palestinian.
Compare yesterday's sanitized language about Palestinians stabbing Israelis to today's straightforward headline about Israeli forces shooting a Palestinian:
Israeli forces just kill. Unlike Palestinian killers, they're not "suspected."
Matt Seaton, a staff editor for The New York Times opinion page, recently tweeted that the paper, which has run a series of Op-Eds charging Israeli society at large as essentially racist, would dedicate space to Palestinian racism as "soon as they have [a] sovereign state to discriminate with."
Will Times headline writers also hold Palestinians to the same standards as Israelis only once there is a Palestinian state?

Snapshot of NY Times Headline Bias
What a difference 16 hours makes in the life of a New York Times headline about Palestinian violence.
Shortly after a Palestinian stabbed to death Israeli soldier Almog Shiloni yesterday outside a Tel Aviv train station, the straightforward headline was "Palestinian Stabs Israeli Soldier at Tel Aviv Train Station." The headline clearly identified the perpetrator (a Palestinian), what he did (stabbed), and his victim (an Israeli soldier).
The headline in today's International New York Times, an edition which has an earlier deadline, is consistent with the original, clear wording:
Apparently, the clear identification of a Palestinian as being responsible for a violent attack was uncomfortable for one or more Times editors.
The article's headline now appears online as:
This is also the headline that appears in print in the domestic edition of The New York Times, which has a later deadline than the international paper.
A glance at the Newsdiff site, which tracks changes made to news headlines, reveals the striking evolution of The Times headline. A snapshot of the Newsdiff log tracking the changes is below, with the newer headlines at the top:
The first, clearer headline is active ("Palestinian stabs"), while the passive language in the newest headline ("Palestinians are suspected") downplays Palestinian culpability. The first headline states as fact that a Palestinian was responsible for the stabbing. According to the latest version , Palestinians are only "suspected."
In the current headline, Israelis "die," they are not "killed," language which again downplays Palestinian responsibility for violence.

ICC Declines to Pursue Charges Against Israel in Mavi Marmara Incident
The official statement released by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
Following a thorough legal and factual analysis of the information available, I have concluded that there is a reasonable basis to believe that war crimes under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court ("ICC" or the "Court") were committed on one of the vessels, the Mavi Marmara, when Israeli Defense Forces intercepted the "Gaza Freedom Flotilla'' on 31 May 2010. However, after carefully assessing all relevant considerations, I have concluded that the potential case(s) likely arising from an investigation into this incident would not be of "sufficient gravity" to justify further action by the ICC. The gravity requirement is an explicit legal criteria set by the Rome Statute.
The Israeli government welcomed the decision to close the case although it expressed
reservations with respect to some of the legal reasoning and several incautious statements in the Prosecutor's report.

PLO Directive to Media: Do Not Use Term "Temple Mount"
For years now, Palestinians and Muslims have been attempting to erase the perception among the public of Jewish connection to the Temple Mount and to Jerusalem. Their latest attempt involves a directive from the PLO National Affairs Department to journalists directing all international media to desist from using the term "Temple Mount" and replace it instead with the term "Al Aqsa Compound":
All international media representatives are advised to adhere to international law and correct any other existing terminology used. The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound is not a disputed territory and all other terms, therefore, are null and void.
It remains to be seen which international media outlets will dutifully follow these marching orders.

Where's the Coverage? Hamas Leader's Wife Treated in Israel
Last year, the media ignored the fact that Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh's granddaughter was treated for a serious illness in Israel. Since then, Haniyeh's daughter was hospitalized at Tel Aviv and his mother-in-law was treated in Jerusalem.
Similarly, the press paid no attention to the fact that Mahmoud Abbas' wife underwent surgery in Israel even as the search was ongoing for the three Israeli teens kidnapped by terrorists and later found murdered.
And now again, the mainstream media refuses to report another story of extraordinary Israeli compassion, even for the families of the Jewish state's most vociferous enemies. The Jewish Press reports that the sister of deputy Hamas leader Moussa Abu Marzouk is receiving medical care in Israel:
Halamiya Shecata, age 60, is currently in critical condition at an Israeli hospital where she has been treated several times before for her cancer, military sources said.
For years, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) has allowed Palestinian Authority Arabs from Gaza, Judea and Samaria to enter Israel for humanitarian and medical reasons. Each week a list of those with special needs is approved after review of each individual case.
Family connections do not apply, claims the COGAT in speaking with media.
Only the Jewish, Israeli and some niche press outfits have covered this news.
Remember, Hamas is a terrorist group sworn to the destruction of Israel and Jews around the world. It engaged in armed conflict with the Jewish state only a few months ago, continues to fire missiles and mortars at Israel and has created a labyrinth of underground tunnels intended to launch terrorist attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians. Further, the group's charter states:
• "Israel will exist, and will continue to exist, until Islam abolishes it, as it abolished that which was before it." [From the words of] The martyr, Imam Hasan al-Banna', Allah's mercy be upon him.
• …our fight with the Jews is very extensive and very grave, and it requires all the sincere efforts. It is a step that must be followed by further steps; it is a brigade that must be reinforced by brigades upon brigades from this vast Islamic world, until the enemies are defeated and Allah's victory is revealed.
• The Islamic Resistance Movement is a distinct Palestinian movement that is loyal to Allah, adopts Islam as a way of life and works to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine.
• …the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to realize the promise of Allah, no matter how long it takes. The Prophet, Allah's prayer and peace be upon him, says: "The hour of judgment shall not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, so that the Jews hide behind trees and stones, and each tree and stone will say: 'Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him,' except for the Gharqad tree, for it is the tree of the Jews."
• In the face of the Jewish occupation of Palestine, it is necessary to raise the banner of jihad.
• "Say to the unbelievers: You will surely be defeated and gathered in Hell. Most terrible shall be your resting-place." (Koran, 3:12)
And yet, Israel provides medical and humanitarian treatment to even the families of the terrorist leaders. What other nation does this? And… where's the coverage?

Making Our Communities More Liveable: Examples from Germany and Scandinavia
An increasing number of community policy makers, planners and residents around the world want their communities —neighborhoods, villages, towns and cities— to be more liveable. Liveable communities provide residents with opportunities to enjoy a high quality of life by preserving or improving the quality of their environment, enabling them to live in a variety of housing options, and by making it possible for them to walk, bike or take public transportation to go to the places they most frequently need to go every day, such as work, schools, grocery stores, shopping malls, parks, recreational areas and health facilities.
There were many reasons for me to conduct the study tour. First, for the past decade or so, Germany, Denmark and Sweden have developed a reputation for being world leaders in several aspects related to community planning and development , for example, by building innovative green buildings; amazing cycling paths, routes and highways; world-famous pedestrian-only shopping streets; and excellent parks and recreation areas. Second, Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm —in that order— topped 27 other cities in the 2009 European Green City Index. Third, in 2011, the Innovation Union Scoreboard ranked Denmark, Finland, Germany and Sweden —in that sequence— as the leading countries for innovation among the European Union 27 member states, noting that the overall good performance in innovation of these countries reflected a balanced national research and innovation system. And, fourth, in 2012, the Legatum Institute ranked Norway, Denmark and Sweden —in that order— as the highest countries in the world for overall prosperity.
Furthermore, Stockholm, Hamburg and Copenhagen, have respectively won the 2010, 2011 and 2014 European Green Capital Award, according to the European Commission. When giving the awards, the Commission noted the following: "the City of Stockholm launched a new program that allowed visitors the opportunity to explore the solutions created by Stockholm in relation to a variety of themes, including combating climate change and ensuring an effective and sustainable transportation system. Hamburg has achieved high environmental standards and good performance levels in terms of cycling and public transport indicators." And Copenhagen is "a good model in terms of urban planning and design. It is also something of a transport pioneer, aiming to become the world's most practicable city for cyclists. Its goal is to have 50 % of people cycling to their place of work or education by 2015 (35 % cycled to their workplace or school in 2010), helping the city reach an ambitious goal of being CO2 neutral by 2025."
People read, socialize, relax and enjoy nature at Planten un Blomen Park in downtown Hamburg, Germany
Green transport infrastructure: a key factor for making our communities more liveable
Green, multimodal mobility systems and networks are perhaps the most visible and common innovations in community planning and development in Germany and Scandinavia. They include integrated networks of public transit by road, rail and water; dedicated pedestrian lanes, paths and networks; and plenty of bicycle infrastructure —featuring dedicated bicycle lanes, paths and networks, and highways, with strategically located bicycle parking areas and pump stations— all of which makes it possible for residents to go to the places they need or want to go, quickly, conveniently, safely, comfortably and economically, and without having to drive their private cars at all times. They also make it possible for residents to have increased opportunities for exercising —and therefore, staying physically and mentally active and fit— socializing, and more particularly, breathing fresher air than residents living in communities where the use of the private automobile prevails.
The same report indicates that the Öresund link has indeed integrated the Danish and Swedish geographic areas around the Øresund Region, strengthened the economies and cultural ties between Denmark and Sweden, and made it easier, faster and much more attractive for people to travel and commute between Malmö and Copenhagen. Over the first ten years of the link's life, 2000-2010, many more Swedes than ever before worked in the Copenhagen region and many more Danish than ever before lived in the Malmö region; and commuting across the link increased tenfold. In 2010, nearly 20,700 commuters travelled to work or college/university on the other side of the link.
Transport infrastructure: key to reducing travel time for travellers and the transport of goods
A totally new and surprising experience came up when I was travelling at 300-km per hour in a high-speed train between Hamburg, Germany, and Copenhagen, Denmark. When the train reached the town of Puttgarden in northern Germany, it rolled smoothly —and unnoticeably to many of us, the passengers, went into a nice, cruise-like white ship (ferry) that carried it across the 19- km wide strait of Fehmarn, in the Baltic Sea, to Rødby Harbour in southern Denmark. The ride in this ferry was very gentle and comfortable and only took 45 minutes —enough time for the train passengers to have a coffee, enjoy the views over the sea and do some duty-free shopping in the upper deck of the ship. In no time, after reaching Rødby Harbour, we were again riding our high-speed train and on our way to Copenhagen!
Malmö —the third largest city of Sweden after Gothenburg and Stockholm— used to be an industrial city, driven primarily by heavy manufacturing industries, such as ship building and auto making; and for many years was very little known internationally. However, since the opening of the Öresund link in year 2000, Malmö has been increasingly being noticed by the international planning community for its positive economic transformation, sustainable development practices, and growing importance as an international centre of knowledge.
"Malmö's positive economic transformation had to do in particular with its economic integration with Copenhagen through the Öresund link, the establishment of Malmö University, and the development of the Western Harbour. There is no question that the current economy is very diverse as compared to a few years ago," a Swedish commuter seating on my side told me while travelling on the train between Malmö and Copenhagen. According to a 2010 report funded by URBACT —an exchange and learning programme promoting sustainable urban development— Malmö has become a prime example of a comebackcity; its economy has been modernised and transformed into a largely service-based economy, focusing on three main sectors: trade and communications (23.4%), finance and consultancy (20.6%) and healthcare (14.5%).

The public transport in Copenhagen, Hamburg, Oslo and Stockholm is also highly popular, not only among residents but also among visitors. I used it a lot, almost every day, particularly in Copenhagen, Hamburg and Stockholm and found it to be an integrated and efficient system of networks of buses, trams, and Metro and regional trains which make it possible for people to go from point A to point B within, and in and out of the city, in a much faster, timely, and more convenient and affordable manner than driving a car.
Cyclists, city buses passengers and train passengers, all commute daily through the Central Station in Malmö, Sweden. About 42% of the city buses run on biogas, according to The City of Malmö
Perception vs. reality
At the end of my study tour, I was still amazed about the numbers of people I had seen biking, walking and taking the public transport in Copenhagen, Hamburg, Oslo and Stockholm. This prompted me to do find out what shares of the populations in these cities would use different modes of transport to go to the places they needed to go on a daily basis.
Most frequently, Copenhageners travel by bike (32%), Osloværings by foot and car (34% and 35% respectively), Stockholmers by public transport (34% ), and Hamburger by car (42%), according to Exhibit 1 below.
And of the populations in Copenhagen, Hamburg, Oslo and Stockholm, 93% of Stockholmers, 68% of Copenhageners, and 57% of each Hamburger and Osloværings either walk, bike or take public transport to go to work, according to Exhibit 2.

Around the world, more and more community policy makers, planners and residents want their communities to be more liveable, that is, more able to provide their residents with increasing opportunities to enjoy a high quality of life.
This article discussed a number of innovations in community planning, development and management, in Germany and Scandinavia; identified many of the underlying principles for the success of these innovations; and showed that communities can be planned, designed, developed and managed so that they can be made increasingly more liveable.
Clearly, the opportunities for communities to explore and implement these types of innovations will increase over the coming years, as residents become increasingly aware of the range of options that are available to increase the quality of life in their communities and of their potential benefits, and of the actions that are necessary to implement the most promising options.
The next step, therefore, will be for community policy makers, planners and residents to find out —specifically at the local level— what kinds of innovations and actions are necessary to make their communities more liveable and implement them as necessary and possible.

Donald Voigt says:
Hi, I'm part of a new sustainability committee for a community in Wisconsin USA of 10,000 people. We have no bus system, but are working on more and more biking and walking paths/lanes. Our problem with bikes is the long and bitter winters. Bikes are just not practical with all of the ice and snow, in winter.
Curious as to other community's experience in very cold/bitter winter weather and the alternatives used (alternatives to bikes).
Habib Chaudhury says:
Luis, thoroughly enjoyed your article. Beyond the quality of life benefits, there is a business case to be made for development of pedestrian-friendly areas that can positively effect local merchants.
Luis Rodriguez says:
Habib, thank you for your compliment on my article. I agree with you that, beyond the quality of life benefits, there is an additional business case to be made for the development of pedestrian-friendly areas because they can also positively affect local merchants. Indeed, one of my previous articles, Pedestrian-Only Shopping Streets(POSS) Make Communities More Livable, concludes that the POSS examples discussed in such an article also suggest that POSS can attract big crowds of people of all ages and from all walks of life every business day, thus increasing the potential for participating real estate owners and entrepreneurs and commercial retailers to succeed in their business.
Zoe Langevin says:
Luis, I agree there is a lot of good things to learn from these Northern cities. Question for you, besides using alternative modes for the work commute, do you have any sense of whether the use of these modes is similar for other regular trips? I am thinking specifically about non-work trips such as grocery shopping, school, day care. Any insight on how what the travel patterns/modal choice are for these citizens for these non-work trips?
Luis Rodriguez says:
Zoe, my sense is that the shares of use of these modes of transport (foot, bicycle and public transport) by people who travel to school, day care services and grocery shopping, could be relatively similar to the shares of use of the same modes of transport by people who travel to work. Bear in mind, however, that this is only my own perception, which is based on what I saw and found in the places where I was during my study tour, and that to come to a final conclusion, this perception would need first to be compared against survey statistics. Unfortunately, I am not aware of these types of data being available. What I know for sure are three facts: first, that on average, nearly 66% of all the journeys by people living in these four cities take place by foot, bicycle and public transport, according to Exhibit 1 in my article; second, that particularly on the streets of Copenhagen and Stockholm, where cyclists of all ages and walks of life are so abundant, I saw a tremendous share of cyclists riding bikes that were well equipped with bike bags, bike baskets and bike trailers, indicating that substantial shares of people in these cities travel to school, day care and grocery shopping by bike (the photo in my article illustrating one of the bicycle parking areas at "The 8 House" shows the range and types of bikes I am talking about); and third, that I am convinced that these cities' extensive public transport system and pedestrian and bicycle path and lane networks, combined with a range of high density housing and workplaces and services, can easily attract and encourage a substantial share of the residents to travel to school, day care and grocery shopping by foot, bike or public transport.
Loïc Daudey says:
What is interesting about a city like Copenhagen is that the planning practices favored by the local government creates an expertise demand in the field of sustainability. Copenhagen is indeed host of several consulting companies like Copenhagenize (on bicycle policies) which respond to the growing demand of both public authorities and people in terms of non-motorized transport in the city.

How to score a cheap road trip
Related Links
Relevant offers
Back in August, surveyor Taryn Martin and a couple of mates took off in a hired van for a wee road trip around the West Coast.
They jumped out of planes in Queenstown, hiked up Fox Glacier, and toasted marshmallows at the Cardrona Pub.
"It was wicked," says Martin.
How much did Jucy charge the band of adventurers to hire an eight-seater people mover? A grand total of $3.
Throw in a free tank of gas worth $130 or so, and they were more or less paid to go on holiday.
It was a pretty good score, "especially when you're on a student budget", says Martin.
So how can this be possible?
Most car and campervan hire companies offer free or heavily discounted one-way trips to travellers willing to help them relocate their vehicles.
Martin first cottoned on to the idea in his scarfie days, and has done it a couple of times since.
But if you've never heard about this little trick, you're certainly not alone.
"Backpackers seem to know about it a bit more than the locals do," says online marketer Sheldon Nesdale, owner of the RentalCarRelocation website.
When a tourist tipped him off, he jumped online and found most companies weren't exactly shouting about relocations from the rooftops.
"You actually have to do quite a tricky Google search even just to find these hidden pages," he says.
"That's how my list got started."
Rental companies deliberately keep relocations under the radar, says Nesdale.
"They don't want to cannibalise sales at full price."
But they're also faced with an enormous problem. Tourists don't always conveniently return their cars and campers to the same city where they hired them out.
That means they need to get the stranded vehicles back to the busiest pick-up points as soon as possible.
Self-driving cars are still in the realm of science fiction, so rental companies are forced to load their vehicles onto huge car-carrying trucks, move them by train, or send out staff to drive them back.
That's hugely expensive.
This is where relocation drivers come in. It doesn't matter if you're young or old, a backpacker, student, or a family.
As long as you've got a licence and you're over 18, you're in.
The industry-wide practice has spawned several aggregator websites, like Nesdale's, which pull together the offers available so you don't have to try and hunt them out individually.
Other good sites to check out are iMoova and Transfercar.
Hire companies will give you a certain number of days to complete the trip - often four days between Auckland and Christchurch, for example.
That's about 15 hours of driving, so easily doable, but doesn't leave a whole lot of time for activities along the way.
If you're wanting to take things at a more leisurely pace, you can usually add on an extra one to three days at a reduced rate.
For example, one of the deals on iMoova offers five free days in a two-berth campervan, with three extra days available at $75 each.
You'll also be given a limit on how far you're allowed to roam before extra charges start racking up.
The Auckland to Christchurch journey typically includes a 1200 km allowance, which is comfortably 200km more than you'd need to go by the most direct route.
iMoova makes sure you have a minimum 150km of slush over and above the distance for each relocation, so those who are prone to getting lost or taking the scenic route should be safe.
If you do decide to ramble a bit further afield, you'll usually be charged about 28c- 50c for every extra kilometre.
That means a major detour out to Gisborne on the way to Christchurch could cost you an extra $700, for example, so it pays to keep half an eye on the odometer.
The freebies don't end with the hire itself.
Transfercar says most vehicles come with a free ferry ticket if you're crossing the Cook Strait, as well as insurance.
To top it all off, you can often even score a tank of free petrol, like Martin's crew did.
When you're driving an enormous, gas-guzzling motorhome in particular, that can be an enormous saving.
The best deal we came across was one listed on iMoova offering not only a whopping $350 worth of fuel, but an extra $100 allowance on top.
Even if you've done your dash of exploring New Zealand and yearn for more exotic destinations, you're in luck.
iMoova provides the same service in Australia, Canada and the USA, and has over 50 companies on board.
Want to take a week-long trip from New York to Miami? You'll pay just $1 for each night, and get $200 of gas to boot.
While it seems amazing that hire companies go to so much trouble and expense, it's still often cheaper or faster for them than the alternatives.
Avis New Zealand's managing director Kathryn O'Neil says the company uses a mixture of methods, including relocations, special deals, and trucks and trains.
"Really our major concern is getting the vehicles back to where they need to be."
She says you do need to be a flexible traveller if you want to take a relocation trip.
"You can't necessarily book the exact car that you want. You might get a Commodore, you might get a Corolla. It just depends."
You'll also need to be flexible with the exact dates and locations, which are usually dictated by the stampedes of tourists each year.
"Traditionally there is a north to south flow," says O'Neil. "It does create a glut at certain points of the islands, particularly in Wellington."
That means you might have to go against the grain, bringing vehicles back up to Auckland or from smaller centres into big cities.
With that being said, iMoova has over 140 listings in New Zealand alone, and Transfercar has 150-odd, so it's not exactly slim pickings.
If you want to do a return trip you can try and match up two opposing routes.
Otherwise it might be an idea to use some of the savings on a cheap one-way plane ticket.
Even though you're getting something for free, don't drop your guard altogether.
There are always a few traps and tricks to look out for with car rentals.
Sometimes you'll have to pay a bond, and often they'll take an imprint of your credit card for any damage.
Make sure you're covered by insurance, and think about whether you want to pay extra to reduce the excess, which is usually $1000-$1500 for relocations.
Other than that, it should be plain sailing. It is, after all, a win-win situation for both you and the hire company.
So pick up a few snacks and supplies, grab some mates, and get into it. The road awaits you.

Mike Pelfrey is in the best shape of his life
Feb 9, 2010, 11:19 AM EST
Add Mets' pitcher Mike Pelfrey to the list of this offseason's biggest losers:
One week until Fat Tuesday, but Mike Pelfrey won't be participating. The
Mets pitcher is prepared to arrive in camp next week some 25 pounds
lighter than last season and believes that will propel him to new
heights after a disappointing 2009.
"I was pretty upset with not
only how the team played, but with how I played last year, knowing
that's not me," Pelfrey told The Post yesterday. "I had a lost year. I
had a terrible year."
A couple of years ago someone — I can't remember who — did an analysis of how guys did in the seasons after "best shape of his life" articles appeared about him during the spring. I seem to recall that there actually was an uptick in performance among the newly-dedicated, albeit not a dramatic one. Enough to make me want to go back and see how Carlos Zambrano, Bobby Jenks, Geovany Soto and Pelfrey did this season come October. Someone remind me, OK?
As for Pelfrey, I think he will bounce back, if not for the weight, than because he seemed a bit unlucky last year. He gave up a lot of hits on balls in play, which is something that fluctuates. Also, the poor Mets infield defense victimizes him more than his teammates. That won't change too much in 2010 — he still doesn't strike out a ton of guys and the Mets didn't upgrade the defense any — but maybe a few more balls bounce in his favor.
And if he does bounce back we can chalk it up to the weight loss anyway because it'll make him feel good and encourage him to lay off the pie again next winter.

Mike Pelfrey, Ken Griffey, Phil Neikro, etc–is anybody NOT "in the best shape of his life?"
- Edgy DC - Feb 9, 2010 at 11:41 AM
Jose Reyes at shortstop instead of his injured backup is indeed a defensive upgrade, as is Daniel Murphy starting the season preparing to play first.

Thanks! Me either & after 6-7 "best shape oof his life" articles over the past couple weeks, I was starting to get a little self conscious!

A queen size mattress playing 1B would be a defensive upgrade over Delgado.

I'm rather fond of my round appearance. And since round IS a shape, I'm in the best shape of my life too!

Wouldn't you expect to see a bit of an uptick in performance from guys that have this written about them? It stands to reason that these articles usually get written about good players who are coming off sub-par (for them) years. So, a little regression to the mean and voila! The articles are vindicated. Even if you knock off some expectations for veterans who are truly at the end of the line, I'd expect to see this improvement.

Comments Thread For: Berto's Trainer Likes Alexander Over Guerrero For Floyd
On Tuesday night, perennial pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather set the boxing world on fire when he announced some recent developments pertaining to his May 4th return to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
While WBC interim welterweight titlist Robert Guerrero was looked at as the favorite to land the fight, Mayweather instead suggested that St. Louis Devon Alexander may be getting the opportunity.
The negotiations for my fight are almost done, Mayweather tweeted. The front runner is IBF Champion Devon Alexander. Itd be a unification bout at welterweight.
On Wednesday night, I caught up with trainer Tony Morgan, a man who knows Guerrero very well.

Sweltering heat to hit Southern Ontario Monday night
Environment Canada has released a special warning for hot and humid weather this week, with temperatures to hit the mid-30s.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
It's about to get sticky.
Environment Canada has released a special warning for hot and humid weather this week, with temperatures expected to soar into the mid-30s. But it's going to feel even hotter.
A blanket of warm air is expected to settle over southern Ontario Monday night, and while the temperatures will stay in the 30s, Environment Canada warned the humidex will hit 40 and above.
Monday will see a high of 28C in Toronto, inching to 33C on Tuesday and hitting the week's high of 34C on Wednesday. The first day of summer, on Thursday, will have a slight dip to 32C, and give way to cooler temperatures for the weekend.
In such high heat, Environment Canada advises people to stay inside or in the shade, to forgo physical activity outside and to drink plenty of water.
The City of Toronto often opens up air-conditioned oases called "cooling centres" across the city during extreme heat. In the past, these locations have included the downtown Metro Hall on John St., the East York Civic Centre on Coxwell Ave. and the Etobicoke Olympium on Rathburn Rd.
The city has not yet said whether these locations will be made into public cool-down zones.
Dog owners are reminded to shorten walk times, refill Fido's water bowl and to keep pets out of parked cars.
"In hot weather, it's kinder and safer for pets to stay at home," Toronto Public Health said.
The first Toronto heat alert of this year was issued on May 28. The city has not yet clarified whether it will issue a heat alert for this week.

The Originals should give us some idea of just how deep the current teenage affection for vampire stories goes. If it can support a show this ludicrously written and terribly cast, it's deeper than most adults can fathom.
Like 'Vampire Diaries' (and so much else), The Originals lacks a sharp wit, preferring the heavy-velvet drapery of self-seriousness and pretend passion.

Oct 11, 2013I don't understand the reviews for this show, it just proves that critics are usually the worst reviewers available. First they consider their opinions to be the only ones that matter so they give creative material absolutely NO wiggle room for interpretation.
This show is NOT vampire diaries. It's a little older, more mature, and a bit edgier. While VD is about an awful main actress and her unbelievably complicated *or some say stupid* romantic life, this is about family. Not family in the disney sense, but in the medieval "My brother is really my worst enemy, at least until we come up against someone even more vile".
This sets a story with believable motives (if you can believe in witches, vampires, etc, or give the writers the benefit of the doubt that within this universe they exist) and interesting characters. I love me some grey (rather than black/white) antagonists. I love the motives for moving to/staying in New Orleans. Klaus is a fantastic actor. Elijah is.... kind of a god. Rebecca is obviously the weak link in the Originals, and seems to now have moved off of VD, which is both good and bad. I hated her in VD, but her presence in the Originals has me apprehensive. Yet, even here the character's motives and dialogue are improved over the dialogue (in the same week) the character has on VD.
Let's see where this goes, though I am a bit anxious that the Originals (and by extension VD) keep finding more and more powerful baddies, at least in the Originals the motives behind Marcelle and his Devina are clouded.… Full Review »
Nov 8, 2013This is one of 2013's best series. Although it is a spin off from Vampire diaries, it has gone above and beyond what is expected of a supernatural series. This show not only features some good acting, but there is also some real charisma amongst the actors. Additionally, it take suspense to a new level.… Full Review »
Oct 3, 2013Solid acting by the cast and it certainly seems like an interesting show. I wouldn't mind sitting through a few episodes of it. As long as they can tell a solid story, I think they will have a pretty decent show on their hands.… Full Review »
