Israel Survival Updates — 14 February 2011 — Thomas Friedman — Iran And The IAEA — Palestinian Authority — Jordan — FLOTUS Has A Rabbi For A Cousin.

Hi.

Popped in an update as a comment below.  Seems as if The First Lady Of The United States Of America has a cousin named Capers Funnye and he’s a Rabbi.  He also has a request of his cousin’s husband.  Click here or scroll down into the comments to see what I’m on about.

NY Times Columnist Thomas Friedman blames Israel for Obama’s response on Egypt.

Columnist Friedman Slams Israel’s Stance On Egypt.

NY Times Columnist Thomas Friedman.

He said that during the crisis the Israeli approach was to attempt to convince the Obama Administration to support Hosni Mubarak against the protesters calling for his ouster as Egyptian president, and to say “Look at us! Look at us! We told you so! We are the only stable country in the region, because we are the only democracy.’’

Freidman slammed the government for, on the one hand, saying Israel is Washington’s only reliable ally because it is a democracy but contradicting this by saying “whatever you do don’t abandon Mubarak and open the way there for democracy.’’

The journalist said that Jerusalem’s concerns about the peace treaty with Egypt being upheld are valid and understandable but that their behavior concerning the upheaval in Egypt is not benefiting Israel.

Typically bitter and still clinging to The Jihadist At 1600™, eh Mr. Friedman ?  That’s about as much as I dare to say, because anything else would be ‘a tad more intense’ and we here at RedState attempt to be civil, toned down and alw……… You disingenuous hypocritical lying sack of leftist garbage !  How are you able to look at yourself in the mirror ?  The time will come when the lot of y……… Good day sir !

Iran.

IAEA head affirms Iran ‘steadily’ enriching uranium.

Mr. Yukiya Amano, Director General Of The International Atomic Energy Agency.

Iran is steadily producing enriched uranium despite the 2009 Stuxnet worm, International Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Yukia Amano told The Washington Post in an interview published on Monday.

The IAEA chief told the paper that the agency is concerned “over the possible use of nuclear materials for military purposes – in the past and perhaps now.” He said that the Iranian regime has well over 3,000 kilograms of enriched uranium and continues to stockpile it contrary to UN Security Council resolutions to that effect.

Amano, however, admitted that the international nuclear regulatory agency doesn’t have much expertise in estimating when Iran might be capable of building a nuclear weapon. “What we are doing is [tracking] how much enriched uranium they have,” he said.

Translation:  We know what they’re doing, but we haven’t a clue what they’re doing and we can’t stop them from doing it or not doing it.  So we’ll keep making all those points simultaneously as loudly as possible, while blaming Israel, BushPalinBeck and The Tea Parties for all the ills in the world.

Palestinian Authority.

PA Cabinet Resigning, Fayyad To Appoint New Ministers.

The Palestinian Authority’s cabinet ministers will tender their resignations Monday and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad will select new ministers in their stead. The shake-up is being carried out at the request of PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas, political sources told international news agencies.

The shake-up was “long demanded by Fayyad and by some in Abbas’s Fatah faction,” according to Reuters. It is perceived as part of a domino effect in the Arab world, following the Tunisian and Egyptian rebellions. A similar move has been announced in Jordan, as well.

Change, but no hope other than violent death, destruction, slavery of citizens and the pending genocide of a people.

Jordan.

In case you missed the last sentence of the Israel National News article above, Jordan’s King Abdullah II replaced his cabinet five days ago.

Jordan’s king swears in new Cabinet.

An official US State Department photograph from the 60th anniversary celebration of US-Jordanian ties.

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Jordan’s King Abdullah II swore in a new 27-member Cabinet on Wednesday in the wake of Egypt-inspired protests in his desert monarchy.

The reshuffle followed protests by thousands of Jordanians who had demanded jobs, reduced prices of food and fuel and a change to an election law that they say gives government loyalists more seats in parliament.

The new Cabinet includes holdover ministers, leftist unionists, a former member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Jordan’s largest opposition group, and a prominent activist for women’s rights.

Look, I can understand Jihadists appointing the left, union goons and the rest, but a “former” member of The Muslim Brotherhood ?…… King Abdullah II appointed a dead guy ?

We should get a caption contest going on that photo.

Here’s my entry:  “A little more to the left and slower.”  ;)

    Baharain and Kuwait.

    Bahrain’s security forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse anti-government protesters Monday in advance of plans to stage major rallies and bring the Arab reform wave to the Gulf for the first time.

    The sporadic unrest since late Sunday underscores the sharply rising tensions in the tiny island kingdom ? a strategic Western ally and home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet.

    In Kuwait, opposition groups had called for an anti-government protest last week, but shifted the date to March 8 after the resignation of the country’s scandal-tainted interior minister.

    Coordination ?…… No, never. Not possible. It’s all completely isolated incidents, totally spontaneous and unconnected to The Muslim Brotherhood anything.

      ….your point is becoming more and more valid. What will the Saudi royal family do? Will there be a new alliance formed and will there be anyone in the West to stand up?

    Video at Jim Hoft’s Gateway Pundit of how Iran deals with protests BEFORE they actually happen.

    The Iranian regime clamped down ahead of the protests.

    The next step in Iran is if/when the protests actually happen, the government will simply open fire and worse, ‘disappear’ people and/or ‘remove them from the streets fro their own protection’.

    Or it’s just that Obama likes to bully those he has economic leverage over.

    The other explanation I’ll just have to keep to myself, but let’s say that Obama may have an order in for some of these maps from the Palestinian Authority.

    And do keep on with these updates.

    Really.

    I’m not kidding.

    And the gent wants Jonathan Pollard sprung from the pokey.

    Rabbi Capers Funnye is the first cousin of Michelle Obama, once removed, and he in recent days sent a letter to President Barack Obama requesting that Pollard be released.

    The man who was dubbed “Obama’s rabbi” by the New Yorki Times, wrote the following to the President recently: ?Jonathan Pollard has served 25 years in prison for crimes for which he has since shown great remorse, publicly and privately,? Rabbi Funnye’s letter said. ?With great humility and familiarity with your feelings on matters of justice, I ask you to seriously consider a commutation of Jonathan Pollard’s sentence.?

    Give it a go where you think Rabbi Funnye is from.

    C’mon, it’s not that difficult to figure it out.

    Yep, you’re right, Chicago.

    Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Juliette Kayyem pleaded in a Boston Globe op-ed Monday, ?Let us see Al-Jazeera.?

    The assistant secretary for Homeland Security….homeland Security…wants America to watch Al-Jazeera. Now, Homeland Security can watch Al-Jazeera any time it wants, so this “Let US see Al-Jazeera” can only mean that there are people in the security apparatus of the US government who want the American people to hear Islamist propaganda. Or, more to the point:
    WHO WANT ISLAMISTS LIVING IN AMERICA TO HEAR, and see, ISLAMIST PROPAGANDA.

    Gabi Ashkenazi – Former IDF Chief Of Staff in a video report at The Jerusalem Post:

    Speaking to the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations on Monday evening, he said, ?I think that the peace treaty with Egypt, as cold as it is, is of strategic importance to the State of Israel and I hope that that will be the case but we have to be ready for that,? referring to the possibility that a new government in Egypt will not recognize the peace treaty with Israel.

    We have planned for this situation“, he added.

    The retired general said he believed the Egyptian people should recognize the contribution of their ousted president Hosni Mubarak, and warned against radical elements seizing power.

    And just so you don’t think General Ashkenazi is some sort of fly-by-night commentator, he was The IDF Chief Of Staff up until a few days ago when he retired (planned retirement, new man in place already).

    Oh yeah, I was going to post something else separately, but since it’s in this same article linked above, here ya go:

    An American In Syria – A Jew – He was there on purpose – To meet with Assad.

    Yes, I’m serious.

    Earlier Monday, Presidents? Conference Executive Vice Chairman Malcolm Hoenlein said that a secret visit he recently made to Syria could signal that President Bashar Assad wants to improve relations with the West.

    Hoenlein confirmed in an Associated Press interview Monday that Assad invited him to Syria. Hoenlein said he was not acting as an envoy for Israel, but that he spent hours discussing a variety of issues with Assad.

    Asked about the trip by The Jerusalem Post, Hoenlein smiled. ?Would you believe I went there for the beach?? he answered facetiously. ?I was invited, I did not go as an emissary of the prime minister or anyone else. I went on a humanitarian agenda and had never discussed what happened. All of these quotes in the media are not from me.?

    Oy vey.
