The (propaganda) clash comes home:
"Seattle peace activists are planning to post anti-Israel ads on the sides of local commuter buses protesting US support for the Jewish state, prompting outcry from Jewish groups.
The banners show Palestinian children standing around a demolished building, with the caption "Israeli war crimes: your tax dollars at work."
A group called the Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign paid King County 1,794 dollars to plaster the ads on the sides of 12 buses starting Monday to coincide with the three-year anniversary of the start of Israel's war with Gaza.
The ads are due to run for four weeks.
Operation Cast Lead, launched by Israel in response to hundreds of rockets fired into the Jewish state, killed 1,400 Palestinians, mostly civilians. Thirteen Israelis, 10 of them soldiers, also died.

Just demonstrating your historical illiteracy again.
Granada fell in 1492. That was the end of the Reconquista.

The Granada War (Spanish: Guerra de Granada) was a series of military campaigns between 1482 and 1492, during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs (los Reyes Católicos) Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon, against the Nasrid dynasty's Emirate of Granada. It ended with the defeat of Granada and its annexation by Castile, ending Islamic rule, Al-Andalus, on the Iberian peninsula and completing the Reconquista.

Jesus was a Palestinian.
http://tarrytown-ny.actforamericachapters.org/2010/12/24/jesus-a-palestinian-pa-tv/
"One of the ways the Palestinian Authority attempts to create a Palestinian history is to deny the Judean/Jewish nationality of Jesus, and misrepresent him as a “Palestinian.”
Palestinian Media Watch has documented this ongoing Palestinian Authority historical revision. Recently on PA TV, the author Samih Ghanadreh from Nazareth was interviewed about his book “Christianity and Its Connection to Islam.”
The following is the transcript of the discussion describing Jesus as a Palestinian:
Religious program on PA TV: This is our religion
Author: “The Shahid (Martyr) President Yasser Arafat used to say: ‘Jesus was the first Palestinian Shahid (Martyr).’ I heard him say that sentence many times.”
PA TV Host: “He [Jesus] was a Palestinian; no one denies that.”
Author: “He [Jesus] was the first Palestinian Shahid (Martyr). He (Arafat) attributed this Martyrdom to Palestine, as well.” Click To View

Missiles all round
All sides have kept the peace by building up their arms.
Dec 29th 2010 | from PRINT EDITION
ISRAEL has enjoyed unusual quiet on its northern and southern borders since its short, bruising wars against Hizbullah, the Lebanese guerrilla force, in 2006, and Hamas, the Islamist Palestinian faction ruling Gaza, two years later. Yet many fear that the calm is illusory. “The next round won’t be focused on one theatre but rather will incorporate two or three,” warned Israel’s outgoing head of military intelligence, Amos Yadlin, in November. “It will be much bigger, much wider in scope, and with many more casualties.”
Such warnings should be taken seriously. Rearmament is proceeding apace. Hizbullah, which lobbed some 4,000 projectiles at Israel in its five-week war, is thought now to deploy 40,000-50,000 rockets. These are mostly short-range—those well behind UN peacekeeping lines could not reach the Israeli border, so would have to be smuggled forward. But its Zelzal II missiles, supplied by Syria and Iran, carry payloads of up to 600kg and are accurate to within 100 metres at a range of 200km. Hamas’s far smaller arsenal has a few rockets that can reach Tel Aviv, Israel’s largest city. In December an Israeli tank was struck from Gaza by a Russian-made, laser-guided Kornet missile, a sophisticated weapon used to great effect by Hizbullah, but hitherto absent from Gaza.
Israel itself has long been superior in weaponry and manpower. In 2006 it destroyed nearly all of Hizbullah’s long-range rockets on the first day of fighting. Since then it has also muscled up, bolstered by American military aid, new attack helicopters and heavier guided bombs. The best of its armour is now protected by systems to deflect anti-tank missiles, and Israel is erecting a three-tier missile-defence shield against long, medium and short-range rockets—helped by $405m in extra American funding.

You are right on about wikileaks Fatty
WikiLeaks: Iran Can Attack Israel With Less Than 12 Minutes Warning
VOA News 03 January 2011
U.S. diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks reveal that Israel believes it would have 10-12 minutes' warning should Iran launch a rocket attack against the country.
The Norwegian daily Aftenposten published a cable Monday from the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv that discusses a Nov 15, 2009 meeting between an American congressional delegation and Israel's military chief.
According to the daily, Gabi Ashkenazi told the delegation that Iran has 300 Shihab missiles that could reach Israel. He added that Israel's biggest threats were the Iranian-backed Hamas militant group in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon, which has more than 40,000 rockets that can reach almost any point in Israel.
In the cable, Ashkenazi is quoted as saying Israel was preparing its army for a major war in the Middle East. He added that the Israeli army sends out unmanned planes over Lebanon to identify potential targets.
The Israeli defense chief said Israel is not able to protect its entire population despite its anti-missile defense systems. He said 1 million Israelis could be exposed to missiles that cannot be fought from the air.
Some information for this report was provided by AP.
And Fatty that is just from Iran.
From Aljazeera:
Haaretz on Sunday quoted an unnamed Israeli official as saying that a US counterpart told him Washington was deeply disappointed with Ehud Barak, the Israeli defence minister and Labour party leader for failing to deliver on promises that he could win government approval for a fresh freeze.
Some Labour ministers in Netanyahu's right-dominated coalition government are calling for Barak to take Labour out of the government if there is no progress towards peace talks.
Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, wants the international community, spearheaded by the peacemaking Quartet of the United Nations, the United States, Russia and the European Union, to come up with a new peace plan.
"We demand that the Middle East Quartet and the various UN bodies, headed by the Security Council, draft a peace plan which conforms with international law, instead of keeping up negotiations which do not solve the problem," he said in a televised address last week.
Netanyahu said on Sunday that he was prepared for an immediate resumption of face-to-face talks with Abbas "until white smoke emerges," a statement from his office said.
If Abbas were to accept the invitation, it quoted Netanyahu as saying, they could discuss all key aspects of the dispute.
"We shall very soon know if we shall be able to reach an agreement," Netanyahu said.
On Monday Abbas said in Tunis he was "always ready" to continue peace talks as soon settlement building stops.
"We are always ready to continue negotiations in the event that Israel comes to accept the stopping of its settlement plans," Abbas said after talks with Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the Tunisian president.
Ok! Fatty: Let's see if they get their funding and planes from the US that have not been delivered, should know by the end of the week. Lot's of weapons besides Iran aimed towards a tiny box, still think it is worth it for some stinking condo's.

from nyp:
"Hate crimes are up 14 percent across the state, but those against Muslims are a tiny fraction. Of the 683 reported to police in 2009, only 11 targeted Muslims. Yes, 11. In 2008, there were eight.
Compare that with the 251 against Jews, or 37 percent of the total"
