 nObama Mulls Increased Involvement Against Islamic State  
Days after Barack nObama vetoed the Pentagon's budget, he's considering moving U.S. troops closer to the fight against the Islamic State. The Washington Post reports nObama's military advisers are suggesting he order U.S. Special Forces and other military assets closer to the front lines, increasing the chance of another American combat death. For months, nObama has insisted that he was only providing the training wheels for the Iraqi army's effort to retake its nation's land. His strategy was to provide advisers and air support, but that has stalled. An offensive to retake a major Iraqi city — any Iraqi city — is months away. So nObama mulls mission creep. It's a similar situation to nObama's decision to keep troops in Afghanistan for a longer time than he previously promised. nObama thought his Middle East policies caused the region to be on the up and up. But the situation has deteriorated to the point where even nObama sees a problem. To be clear, nObama's war is not ultimately about the Islamic State; it's about political calculation here at home. The Washington Free Beacon's Aaron MacLean wrote nObama is waging "war for the media and for public opinion. Actual progress against the Islamic State is a purely secondary concern." That's why he vetoed a routine defense bill to leverage for more domestic spending while trying to send Mr. U.S. Super Soldier to wage a PR campaign. Chances are he will not do what he should have done months ago and ask Congress for an Authorization for Use of Military Force. That scrutiny would be a PR disaster.  -The Patriot Post

 The New York Times' Pitiful Anti-Gun Propaganda  
The New York Times is out with its latest anti-gun screed of an editorial. This one is about the supposed "fantasy" that carrying a concealed weapon makes you safer. "This foolhardy notion of quick-draw resistance ... is dramatically contradicted by a research project showing that, since 2007, at least 763 people have been killed in 579 shootings that did not involve self-defense," the Times editorial board (mis)informs us. "Tellingly, the vast majority of these concealed-carry, licensed shooters killed themselves or others rather than taking down a perpetrator. The death toll includes 29 mass killings of three or more people by concealed carry shooters who took 139 lives; 17 police officers shot to death, and — in the ultimate contradiction of concealed carry as a personal safety factor — 223 suicides. Compared with the 579 non-self-defense, concealed-carry shootings, there were only 21 cases in which self-defense was determined to be a factor."
          The "research" was conducted by the Violence Policy Center (VPC), a vehemently anti-gun group masquerading as a serious policy organization. (Beware anti-gun leftists wielding statistics on guns.) Even the Times acknowledges that VPC's research is "necessarily incomplete" — but blames the "gun lobby."
          What's incomplete is the analysis. First, suicides should be considered separately. Second, the study had to cover a period of seven years to get numbers that sounded scary enough. Third, given the millions of concealed carry permit holders in the country, we'd be surprised if the murder rate was higher than that of the general population. According to the FBI's crime stats — which the VPC says it uses — nearly as many people were killed by hands and feet in one year as by concealed carriers over seven years. Fourth, would the VPC be satisfied if there were more deadly defensive gun uses? They don't seem concerned with the number of incidents in which the mere presence or brandishing of a firearm is enough to deter the crime, or the number of times the good guys simply wounded the bad ones. Finally, how would the Times explain the 30% drop in all gun-related deaths over the last two decades coinciding with a huge increase in the number of people who concealed carry?
          The Times is correct that "concealed carry does not transform ordinary citizens into superheroes," but that's a false choice. Carrying a firearm does give ordinary citizens a fighting chance — unless they're in a Times-approved "gun free zone." More to the point, the Second Amendment is the "palladium of liberties" and isn't rendered moot by crime statistics.  -The Patriot Post

 Where Are the Left's Concessions in Budget Agreement?  
Outgoing House Speaker backstabber-John Boehner and Barack nObama have reached a budget deal. The agreement — which still needs to pass Congress — will keep the government running for two years and raise the debt limit by $1.5 trillion. The agreement will raise the budget $80 billion over two years, which will give money equally to defense and domestic expenditures. For the bill to pass, backstabber-Boehner may have to rely on Democrat support, as many Republican lawmakers remain undecided.
          It's hard to see how the legislation advances conservative goals. Increased spending and larger borrowing limits don't put the nation on the path to fiscal moderation. In negotiations, nObama had the upper hand. The deadline to raise the debt ceiling is Nov. 3, and backstabber-Boehner is expected to resign his seat and be gone by the end of this week, so there was more pressure on him to give in to nObama's demands. If passed, the budget deal would avoid a nasty election year budget fight, as well as remove the issue for soon-to-be Speaker Paul Ryan's plate. With the nation's fiscal course set, nObama has an excuse to play a few more rounds of golf.
          According to Ted Cruz, Republicans should expect some concessions from Democrats — to fight like the Democrats. "nObama and the Democrats approach everything passionately committed to their principles," Cruz told The Daily Signal. "They'll crawl over broken glass with a knife between their teeth to advance their failed big government principles." Precious little comparable determination exists among Republicans.
          For what it's worth, Ryan said, "The process stinks. This is not the way to run the people's business, and under new management we are not going to do the people's business this way."

 Ryan, Trump and the Conservative Voter  
Ever since House Speaker backstabber-John Boehner announced his resignation, there has been much heated debate about who the next speaker should be. It has proven somewhat divisive, pitting conservatives against establishment Republicans, and one of the primary drivers of the debate is a single issue: immigration.
          The House Freedom Caucus is supporting but not endorsing Paul Ryan to run for the position, but this has many conservatives fuming over the possibility of another person perceived to be of the GOP establishment taking on that role.
          Ryan is a 17-year incumbent who has a history of supporting the kind of immigration reform some conservatives won't accept. That is to say Ryan favors a comprehensive overhaul to immigration policy, including a path to legal status and perhaps citizenship for illegals. (Remember, a huge number of illegals got here legally but overstayed their visas — an entirely different thing than sneaking across the Rio Grande.) To some conservatives, Ryan's position makes him a pro-amnesty RINO who ought to be put out to pasture, not given the speaker's gavel.
          Several weeks ago, conservatives were jubilant that backstabber-Boehner was heading for the exit and that his deputy, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, had bowed out of the race for speaker. Yet with the news that Ryan would run for speaker, members of the House Freedom Caucus have, according to many conservative commentators and talk-radio hosts, betrayed their constituents by backing Ryan. Is this really the case or are there other reasons for this sudden shift?

 EPA Climate-Nazi McCarthy Chatting Up The Money Making...  
{rickwells.us} ~ It’s a little surprising that climate-Nazi Gina McCarthy isn’t down on her earth-tone prayer rug, her manly face planted in Gaia submission, and her equally manly pant-suited rear end symbolically pointed towards the American citizens... Her anti-American remarks are delivered in what is the liberal equivalent of a church, the Marxist temple of the “Center for American Progress.” For context, the Center for American Progress defines themselves on their website as “An independent nonpartisan policy institute that is dedicated to improving the lives of all Americans, through bold, progressive ideas, as well as strong leadership and concerted action. Our aim is not just to change the conversation, but to change the country.” Of course the non-partisan claim is total nonsense but it permits them to save on taxes, but the IRS is on their side. And after all, every dollar not donated to the US Treasury is another that can be used directly to destroy America.        http://rickwells.us/archives/21426

 Veterans Will ‘Question’ Hilly Clinton’s Qualifications to Be President  
{Morgan Chalfant} ~ Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) said Wednesday that veterans will “question” Hilly Clinton’s qualifications to become president after she downplayed problems at the Department of Veterans’ Affairs... “If Hilly Clinton really believes the comments that she made, I don’t see how any veteran who cares about their fellow veterans … could support her quest for being commander in chief,” McCain, a veteran himself, said on a press call in response to a question from the Washington Free Beacon. Clinton said during an appearance on MSNBC Friday that the scandal at the VA has “not been as widespread as it has been made out to be,” accusing Republicans of “berating” the federal agency and making its issues seem graver in order to pursue their “ideological agenda.”       http://freebeacon.com/issues/mccain-veterans-will-question-hillary-clintons-qualifications-to-be-president/

 The Big Loser in Tuesday Night’s GOP Debate: The Media  
{Roger Aronoff} ~ While the media focus on which of the candidates did well, and which didn’t, they overlooked the biggest loser of the night: the media... Whether intended or not, the difference in the questioning of the Democrats in their October 13 CNNdebate versus the questioning of the Republicans in their three debates so far proved to be an issue that boiled over in Tuesday night’s debate. The Republican candidates decided to take the obvious double standard by which the two party’s candidates are questioned, and punch back. Yet The Washington Post listed winners and losers, without including the media. Same for an article on the CNBC website. But for those of us offended by the media’s kid-glove treatment of Hilly Clinton and the Democrats during their one debate, it was refreshing to see some of the Republicans taking their gloves off when it came to pointing out the media’s obvious bias. Here were a few of the highlights aimed at the media bias against the GOP.        http://www.aim.org/aim-column/the-big-loser-in-tuesday-nights-gop-debate-the-media/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email102915&utm_medium=email

 Will we give presidency to a perjurer?  
{Judge Andrew Napolitano} ~ The New York Times’ Maureen Dowd captured the moment last weekend when she referred to former Secretary of State Hilly Clinton as “the midwife to chaos” in Libya... Dowd apparently came to that conclusion after watching Clinton bobbing and weaving and admitting and denying as she was confronted with the partial record of her failures and obfuscations as secretary of state, particularly with respect to Libya. The public record is fairly well-known. In March 2011, President Barack nObama declared war on Libya. He did this at the urging of Clinton, who wanted to overthrow Libyan strongman Col. Moammar Gadhafi so she could boast of having brought “democracy” to the region. She and Obama conspired to do this even though former President George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair had publicly praised Gadhafi as an ally in the war against terrorist groups and even though the U.S. was giving the Gadhafi government more than $100 million a year in foreign aid.        http://www.wnd.com/2015/10/will-we-give-presidency-to-a-perjurer/

 Ayatollah Khamenei's Sucker Punch  
{Joseph Klein} ~ President Barack nObama, Secretary of State hanoi-John Kerry and other senior level officials of the nObama administration have tried to assure the American people that the nuclear deal they negotiated with Iran... known more formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), is rock-solid. According to hanoi-Kerry, the JCPOA “shuts off all of Iran’s pathways towards fissile material for a nuclear weapon and resolves the international community’s concerns about Iran’s nuclear program.” In the ivory tower where nObama, hanoi-Kerry and their fellow naïve negotiators operate, they think they have devised an agreement with clear, unambiguous terms to which Iran has fully subscribed. They also have convinced themselves that the deal is built on a strong foundation of international inspection mechanisms and carrot and stick incentives to ensure that Iran will comply. They are dreadfully wrong on all counts. The nObama administration is spinning its own interpretation of the JCPOA to the American people, which is at total variance with the interpretation of its negotiating counter party, the Iranian theocracy headed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Iran’s Supreme Leader has delivered a sucker punch with his own set of written conditions contained in a letter of guidelines to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. The letter was published on October 21, 2015 - more than three months after the JCPOA was supposedly finalized.       http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/260601/ayatollah-khameneis-sucker-punch-joseph-klein

 IPCC Expert Throw Wrenches Into UN Climate Summit  
{William F. Jasper} ~ As UN’s Paris summit approaches, one of France’s top mathematics consultancies, a legendary physicist, and a former IPCC author have joined France’s best-known TV weatherman, Philippe Verdier... in delivering black eyes and severe body blows to the increasingly discredited global-warming alarm lobby. As host of the United Nations climate summit this December, the French government is pulling out all stops to make it a “success,” striving mightily to create the impression of unquestionable “consensus” on global warming — even if it means resorting to suppression of scientific dissent and freedom of expression." “We must have a consensus,” French President Francois Hollande declared this past May at the Business & Climate Preparatory Summit in Paris. “If within our own country, that’s difficult, imagine what it’s like with 196 countries. A miracle!” Nevertheless, he told the corporate executives, he was confident it would be achieved. For any UN agreement to work, Hollande said, the role of businesses would be “key.” Invoking the French Revolution, he declared: “We need a revolution in business.” President Hollande, however, is not waiting for the miraculous to happen; he prefers the iron fist and the guillotine of the Revolution. That is apparent in the case of meteorologist Philippe Verdier, to whom millions of French viewers have turned to for years for their daily weather news. Verdier was sacked from his celebrity weatherman position on France Television (the government-owned station) earlier this month for the heresy of publishing a book challenging the apocalyptic “consensus” that claims that anthropogenic (manmade) global warming, or AGW, is a “crisis” demanding global draconian action.       http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/21853-mathematic-consultancy-legendary-physicist-ipcc-expert-throw-wrenches-into-un-climate-summit?utm_content=Rudy%20Tirre&utm_source=VerticalResponse&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=IPCC%20Expert%20Throws%20Wrench%20Into%20UN%20Climate%20Summit&utm_campaign=IPCC%20Expert%20Throws%20Wrench%20Into%20UN%20Climate%20Summitcontent

 nObama’s Outlaw DHS And DOJ Representing Illegals...  
{rickwells.us} ~ Judicial Watch reported on two instances which would appear, on the surface, to qualify as acts of government insanity... That appearance only applies if the motivations of our hijacked federal government were, in fact, to work to the benefit of our nation and its citizens. It’s been demonstrated with increasing frequency and intensity over the last couple of decades that our government is not working for us and that it is in fact the primary threat to the survival of our nation. Both cases involve illegal aliens, the invading group which is provided preferential status by the criminal nObama regime. In one case, the anti-American subversives at DHS are attacking a local police department for “racial profiling” in spite of them nabbing two previously deported illegals. The second involves the DOJ filing and winning a lawsuit against a public school district for following immigration law and verifying the legal status of its employees.

 When you can’t fix stupid  
{Col. Kenneth Allard US Army ret.} ~ Proving he has learned nothing, our chief executive last week vetoed the new Defense Authorization Act... That enactment pays the salaries of our troops and buys the bullets, beans and black oil they use to fight ISIS and al Qaeda. Unschooled and unskilled in defense matters, President nObama is a Grimm fairy tale of what happens when a community organizer in chief is horribly miscast as the commander in chief. For one thing, Mr. nObama is not the sort of leader who plays nicely with others, like the bipartisan House and Senate majorities that passed the legislation. His lack of strategic vision is highlighted by the bill he just vetoed, which provides precisely the same $621 billion he originally requested. At just over 3 percent of gross domestic product, that is the lowest percentage of defense spending since the end of the Cold War, which – as you may have heard – is back again. If Mr. nObama considers it prudent to spend only three cents out of every dollar on our defenses, is he really fit to command at all? For that matter, if his budgetary judgments are left unchallenged by “we the people,” then does this nation really deserve the freedom we customarily take for granted?        http://www.aim.org/guest-column/when-you-cant-fix-stupid/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email103015&utm_medium=email

 Academic Freedom Opposed by "Who"?  
{Douglas Murray} ~ It is that time of year again. News arrives of 343 "university teachers" who signed a letter pledging that henceforth they will not cooperate with Israeli academic institutions... Their joint letter took up a full page today in Britain's left-wing Guardian newspaper (where else?) and has caused almost no stir in Britain. It comes days after a letter signed by 150 leading British writers, musicians and others -- including JK Rowling, Simon Schama and Hilary Mantel -- opposed any and all such boycotts against Israel, and pointed out that in the eyes of most people, intellectual and cultural exchange is a good thing. The anti-boycott letter was signed by some of Britain's leading intellectuals. The main response to the pro-boycott letter, however, may well be, "Who?" Who knew, for instance, that Israel -- or any state -- would be diminished if it could not gain from the wisdom of Professor Alex Callinicos, one of Britain's most obscure Marxist academics? He is the author of numerous interminable tracts; his efforts to bring his thoughts into mainstream politics reached their summit during his involvement with the Socialist Worker's Party, an entity too extreme even for Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party. As almost nobody in Britain wants Prof. Callinicos's thoughts, why would anybody in Israel be begging for them?

 Iran Nuke Equipment Goes Missing  
{LESLIE HALE} ~ Key equipment at a sensitive Iranian military site turned out to be gone when international nuclear inspectors visited... Fox News is told, suggesting Tehran tried to “sanitize” the facility to further obfuscate how far its program had progressed, leading up to the nuclear deal. It was only last month that the Iranians granted access to its secret military site known as Parchin. The International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, had previously confirmed that Parchin contained a so-called “containment vessel” — a special chamber — for testing nuclear equipment including triggers to detonate a warhead. Yet Fox News is told that when the IAEA toured the site for its upcoming report on Iran’s past and present program, the containment facility and equipment were gone, making it that much harder to test for radioactive residue. The source was not authorized to speak on the record.     http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/10/28/effort-to-sanitize-equipment-missing-at-iranian-military-site-during-nuke/?intcmp=hpbt2

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is crazy like a fox.
.
     Netanyahu's assertion on Tuesday before the World Zionist Congress that the founder of the Palestinian people, Haj Amin al-Husseini, convinced Adolf Hitler to eradicate rather than expel the Jews of Europe was an overstatement of Husseini's role.
.
No, the Holocaust was not Husseini's idea.
.
     But he was a partner in perpetrating and promoting it. He also made it inevitable.
.
     As I detailed in my book The Israeli Solution: A One-State Plan for Peace in the Middle East, during the course of Husseini's meeting with Hitler in Berlin in November 1941, Hitler told the Arab leader of his plan to eradicate European Jewry.
.
     Husseini told Hitler that he would support the Nazis, and rally the Arab world to their side, if Hitler agreed to two conditions: that Hitler support his bid to rule over a postwar Arab state comprised of present-day Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Israel; and that Hitler support the genocide of Middle Eastern Jewry.
.
     As both the official Nazi record and Husseini's summary of the meeting in his diary report, Hitler accepted Husseini's demands.
.
And it makes sense that he did.
.
     Husseini proved his loyalty to the Nazis long before he arrived in Berlin. His romance with them began with Hitler's election victory in 1933. From then on, Husseini's followers in Mandatory Palestine greeted one another with the Nazi salute. Swastikas festooned their towns. The Nazis began directly funding Husseini's terror war against the Jews of Israel and British Mandatory officials in 1937.
.
     In 1937, the British forced Husseini to flee the country. In 1941, he organized and incited a pro-Nazi military coup in Iraq. The British were forced to invade Iraq in response to the coup.
.
     Husseini then fled to Rome where he met with Mussolini and went on the Berlin, where he remained for the duration of the war.
.
     As the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Husseini invented and shaped the Palestinian national ethos in a manner that aligned with his pathological hatred of the Jews. Rather than providing the Palestinian Arabs with a positive vision of a future state that would safeguard and cultivate them as a distinct Arab nation, he shaped Palestinian society as a wholly negative phenomenon. It was seeded in a hybrid hatred of Jews that fused Koranic hostility to Jews with racism-based annihilationist European anti-Semitism rooted in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which Husseini translated and published in Arabic.
.
     The goal of Husseini's nationalist drive was not to form a Palestinian Arab state, but to prevent the establishment of a Jewish state and to annihilate all aspects of the Jewish national liberation movement through a campaign a terror and political warfare.
.
     Husseini's goal of leading an Arab state that encompassed Iraq and the entire Levant shows that the founding father of the Palestinian national project did not view "Palestine" as a distinct territorial entity.
.
     After Hitler agreed to both of Husseini's conditions, Husseini began his active collaboration in the Nazi war effort. He participated in the Holocaust directly. In 1943, he formed the SS Handschar Division comprised of Bosnian Muslims. His troops exterminated 90 percent of Bosnia's 14,000-member Jewish community.
.
     Husseini used his position as well to scuttle British attempts to trade German prisoners of war for Jews. In one such documented episode, in 1943 Husseini appealed to SS commander Heinrich Himmler to cancel a deal to exchange 4,500 Jewish children and 500 Jewish adults from Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria to cancel the deal and send the Jews to Auschwitz.
.
Himmler bowed to his appeal. The Jews were sent to the gas chambers.
.
Husseini contributed to the Holocaust indirectly.
.
     Beginning shortly after his meeting with Hitler and extending through the end of the war, Husseini broadcast regular programs to the Arab world on Nazi short wave radio in Arabic. In those broadcasts he engendered support for the Nazis and the extermination of world Jewry. Using the mix of Islamic Jew-hatred and European annihilationist anti-Semitism he had developed in Jerusalem, Husseini cultivated a culture of support for the annihilation of Jews and the destruction of the Jewish (then nascent) state in the Land of Israel. That culture, bred through those broadcasts heard regularly by millions throughout the entire Arab world, still holds today.
.
     Husseini was indicted as a war criminal in Nuremberg. Rather than try him, the allies allowed him to flee to Egypt in 1946. There he was greeted as a war hero by King Farouk. It is true that Hitler didn't need Husseini to convince him to annihilate European Jewry. By the time Husseini arrived in Germany, the Nazis had already murdered a million Jews.
.
     But Netanyahu's claim that Husseini made it impossible for Hitler to suffice with expelling the Jews from Europe is true. The only place that wanted the Jews of Europe was the nascent Jewish state in the Land of Israel.
.
     Through his terror war against the Jews and the British Mandatory authorities, and through his incitement of pro-Nazi sentiment in Egypt, Iraq and the Levant, Husseini convinced the British to betray their legal obligation to allow free Jewish immigration to the Land of Israel and so closed off the Jews' last avenue of escape from Nazi-dominated Europe.
.
     As Netanyahu said, Husseini is revered and glorified by the Palestinians. Yasser Arafat claimed that he was Husseini's political heir and blood relative as a means of legitimizing his claim to leadership over the Palestinians.
.
Hamas as well has invoked Husseini as its ideological founding father.
.
     History in hand, it is time to return to Netanyahu, and his overstatement of Husseini's role in the Holocaust.
.
     From the time of Husseini till today, propaganda and terror have been the Palestinians' weapons of choice in their war against the Jews. Internally lies are spread of nonexistent Jewish plots and imaginary acts of aggression, to incite and solicit the murder of Jews. Propaganda and lies are then used to glorify the murderers as heroes and martyrs.
.
     Externally, the Palestinians spread lies about Palestinian victimhood at the hands of bloodthirsty Jewish settlers and security forces who seek to drive the Arabs from their homes. By casting themselves as victims to the outside world, the Palestinians ensure that Israeli responses to their acts of aggression are perceived as acts of aggression, which they are fully justified in attempting to defy through murderous rampages against Jews.
.
     The Palestinians recognize that for their terror to be acceptable to the West, they must portray themselves as guileless victims. Hence, they repeatedly insist the absurd claim that terrorists who deliberately kill Jews by running them over, are really merely victims involved in traffic accidents. The Palestinian teenage girl who this week sought to infiltrate the community of Yitzhar with a carving knife, suffers from "sleepwalking."
.
     These ridiculous lies are only credible in a world devoid of any historical knowledge of the Palestinians' 95-year history of aggression against the Jews. And so the Palestinians have invented a false history of their war against Israel in which thousands of years of Jewish history is blotted out, and thousands of years of Palestinian history have been invented out of whole cloth.
.
     In this revised version of events, Husseini has been erased from history. His role in the Holocaust has been deleted. The fact that the goal of the Palestinian national movement from its inception has been to annihilate the Jewish state and that the annihilation of Israel remains its goal still today has similarly been washed out of the history books and the news pages.
.
     To maintain this fictional account of current and historical events, the Palestinians depend on the collaboration of the Western media.
.
     And with each passing year, that collaboration has grown more open, expansive and shameless.
.
     Western reporting on the events of the day now are almost entirely devoid of any relationship to reality.
.
     Consider just a few recent examples. CNN's report of the Palestinian arson assault on Joseph's Tomb in Nablus on October 16 contained no mention of the fact that the fire at the holy Jewish site was set by Palestinians. In the same report, the network stated, "In the past month, eight Israelis died in 30 attacks involving knives and other weapons."
.
As if fires set themselves and angry knives wander the streets.
.
     MSNBC's reporter Ayman Mohyeldin was caught lying two weeks ago as he claimed that the knife-wielding Palestinian terrorist in the Old City of Jerusalem who was lunging toward security personnel as they killed him, was an unarmed, innocent bystander. As Mohyeldin spewed his lies, the video of the assault that clearly showed the terrorist wielding a knife was being broadcast to his viewers.
.
     That embarrassment didn't stop MSNBC from maintaining the myth of Israeli aggression, however.
.
     The next week, the network posted a graphic of British Mandatory Palestine from 1946 which it claimed was the State of Palestine in 1946. The graphic them purported to show how the Jews stole ever more Palestinian land in the years that followed. Although the network was forced to broadcast a retraction, the lie that Palestine once existed had already been told.
.
     Then of course there was The New York Times with its stunning "background" piece purporting to provide its readers with historical context regarding the competing Israeli and Palestinian claims regarding the Temple Mount. The Times reported as fact the false claim that there is a debate among respected academics regarding whether the Jewish temples were actually located on the Temple Mount.
.
     In other words, the Times unabashedly participated in the Palestinian project of rewriting history in a manner that erases Jewish history from the Jewish homeland.
.
     Netanyahu recognizes that the media have sided with the Palestinians in their war to destroy Israel through a mix of terror and propaganda.
.
     He knows that the only stories they will report on are stories with an anti-Israel angle. It is reasonable then to assume that he decided to use their embrace of every possible angle of attack as a means to get the truth out about the nature of the war.
.
     By exaggerating Husseini's importance in the Holocaust, Netanyahu gave the media a means of attacking him. But by doing so, he forced the Times to report on the Palestinians' founding father's role in destroying European Jewry and his desire to carry out the Final Solution in the Middle East. They would have ignored the issue if Netanyahu had not exaggerated his actual role.
.
     Due to his "gaffe," every Western media outlet reported on Husseini's actions. Some even mentioned that in his PhD dissertation, current Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said the Holocaust was both a myth and a joint Zionist-Nazi project. For most Westerners, this is the first they've heard of the fact that the Palestinian's George Washington was a Nazi war criminal.
