Something is wrong with this picture.

It appears that the man responsible for the terrorist attack in Norway was pro-Israel, of all things.

Before going further, I must make myself very clear; this man's actions were completely unacceptable. By murdering almost 100 innocent people, regardless of their views, he is no better than Osama bin Laden, and he deserves the same fate.

But there is so much here that doesn't make sense. At first glance, his ideology seems to be spot on.

In one passage, he lashes out at the western media which he accuses of unfairly focusing on the wrongdoing of Jews, saying “western journalists again and again systematically ignore serious Muslim attacks and rather focus on the Jews.”

But then this shows up.

He also says that Israel is the homeland for Jews largely due to the persecution suffered by Jews at the hands of Muslims, saying “if one acknowledges that Islam has always oppressed the Jews, one accepts that Israel was a necessary refuge for the Jews fleeing not only the European but also the Islamic variety of anti-Judaism.”

The primary scourge of the Jewish people for millennia had not been Muslims, or even Arabs, but Europeans in general. Every European Zionist I've ever met understands this. This seems out of character to me and an illogical view for a Zionist to hold. On the other hand, this would be exactly how an Islamic terrorist trying to impersonate a pro-Zionist would perceive Zionism.

This man's views seem too perfect. I could be wrong, but I have to wonder if this man is a plant meant to stir up hatred. If this man is exactly as he claims to be, he not only did the worst act possible for his ideology, he has likely caused massive damage to the credibility of Zionism. No one sane could possibly think that this kind of an atrocity could ever be useful to Israel.

The only possibilities I can see is that this man is either a terrorist plant, or he is insane.

Evil comes in all forms.

It doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum you are on, there is always evil. Someone is always willing to go that one step too far and step into the realm of Hitler and Stalin.

By now, most, if not everyone, knows about the terrorist attack in Norway. I have nothing but unequivocal condemnation for such an action. There is absolutely no excuse or reason for this kind of senseless violence.

The people gunned down were youth at camp, just living their lives. This sort of political violence is completely unacceptable. It makes this man not only no better, but worse than Islamic extremists.

I've already seen many people on the left wing trying to use this incident as proof of right wing violence. This is an isolated incident, and this "man" should not just be put to death, but put to death in the most painful manner possible. This one incident perpetrated by a fascist does not in any way outweigh the fact that there have been over 17,000 deadly terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims since 9/11, and it does not in any way represent my beliefs.

Stories that the lamestream media don't want you to know.

If the lamestream media actually wanted to show a balanced view of Israel, it wouldn't be difficult. However, the "Palestinians" are the media's little darlings, and no matter how much good Israel does, no matter the fact that "Palestinians" live better than any other Arab in the Middle East, Israel is still somehow the bad guy.

From Good News From Israel comes a list of just a few of the amazing things that Israel does for the "Palestinians" despite their hatred for Jews.

"Palestinians" admit it in person. They want Israel destroyed.

There is no such thing as a peace process. There is no such thing as a peace partner. There is no such thing as even the remote possibility of peaceful relations with the "Palestinians". It is one Jewish state with a majority of the "Palestinians" expelled to other Arab lands, or the end of not just Israel, but Judaism as well.

Only one in three Palestinians (34 percent) accepts two states for two peoples as the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to an intensive, face-to-face survey in Arabic of 1,010 Palestinian adults in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip completed this week by American pollster Stanley Greenberg.

The poll, which has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points, was conducted in partnership with the Beit Sahour-based Palestinian Center for Public Opinion and sponsored by the Israel Project, an international nonprofit organization that provides journalists and leaders with information about the Middle East.

The Israel Project is trying to reach out to the Arab world to promote “people-to-people peace.” The poll appears to indicate that the organization has a difficult task ahead.

Respondents were asked about US President Barack Obama’s statement that “there should be two states: Palestine as the homeland for the Palestinian people and Israel as the homeland for the Jewish people.”

Just 34% said they accepted that concept, while 61% rejected it.

Sixty-six percent said the Palestinians’ real goal should be to start with a two-state solution but then move to it all being one Palestinian state.

Asked about the fate of Jerusalem, 92% said it should be the capital of Palestine, 1% said the capital of Israel, 3% the capital of both, and 4% a neutral international city.

Seventy-two percent backed denying the thousands of years of Jewish history in Jerusalem, 62% supported kidnapping IDF soldiers and holding them hostage, and 53% were in favor or teaching songs about hating Jews in Palestinian schools.

When given a quote from the Hamas Charter about the need for battalions from the Arab and Islamic world to defeat the Jews, 80% agreed. Seventy-three percent agreed with a quote from the charter (and a hadith, or tradition ascribed to the prophet Muhammad) about the need to kill Jews hiding behind stones and trees.
But only 45% said they believed in the charter’s statement that the only solution to the Palestinian problem was jihad.

Emphasis added.


A full 45% believe in Jihad. The article says 'only', but that is an immense number of people who believe that violence is the only answer. The article makes some claims about some positives, but they do not outweigh the simple facts. Any large population of "Palestinians", when more than half of them support the teaching of hatred of Jews in their school, is suicide for the Jewish state. They have admitted, in person, that they do not want Israel to exist.

Judaism will not survive without Israel. That is easily seen. As per the second link above, the only place in the world where the Jewish population is growing is in Israel. Without Israel, we as a people are almost certainly doomed. The "Palestinians" are committed as a people to eliminating our homeland.

These are the facts. Jews need Israel or we disappear. Israel needs large, defensible borders, or it disappears. The "Palestinians" stand in the way of that. That is a simple fact. These are not people who will let us live.

Which means that they have to leave.
