Aid to Terrorists
1. The Knesset education committee will be holding an emergency session to discuss the “Aid-to-Terrorists” legal clinics run by the law school at the University of Haifa. These “clinics” have been in the news in the past couple of weeks largely thanks to a report on them released by the Im Trtzu Zionist student organization. The report was picked up and promoted by Maariv, including Op-Eds by a number of Maariv columnists demanding action against the University of Haifa, and also by Israel Hayom (the freebie newspaper that actually has the largest market share of any daily in Israel). See this story: http://www.israelhayom.com/
The chiefs of the University of Haifa report being inundated with outraged letters, and the parents of terror victims have issued a statement condemning the university. The law school at the University of Haifa is solidly and monolithically left-wing. I do not know of a single faculty member who teaches there who is NOT a leftist. The law school, you may recall, banned the singing of Hatikva at school graduation ceremonies lest it offend the delicate sensitivities of Arabs. Law school faculty there have studiously refused ever to speak out against infringements of freedom of speech when the speech rights by non-leftists are violated, but can be counted upon to sign any leftwing petition to roll off the bandwagon.
Praise the Lord and Pass the Polonium!
2. Here is a fast thought on how Israel is handling the newest silliness coming from the Pestilinians and their friends on the Right and the Left (a particularly silly one is here http://www.counterpunch.org/
Israeli leaders are trying to dismiss the accusations that Israel poisoned Arafat The Pestilinians and their Swiss scientific hired guns are claiming that “polonium,” a radioactive element, was found on the carcass of His Ugliness. Israelis are pointing out that polonium only has a half life of 138 days and so, if His Ugliness had been poisoned with it, there would be none left to detect. Others are mentioning that strychnine works so much better than polonium and costs so much less, so why would anyone use polonium to off the terrorist? Strychnine also would have the advantage of drawing a mental association between Arafat and Hitler, since the latter liked to shoot up strychnine.
Anyhow, in my opinion, the entire Israeli approach is foolish. Instead, Israel should proudly take credit for the “poisoning” of Arafat. Not that I think for a minute that Israel actually poisoned Arafat. To my great sorrow and regret, Israeli leaders always lacked the courage to assassinate Arafat. But Arab conspiracism needs no facts and Israel should feed the Arab conspiracist machine and mindset. Let the “Palestinians” spend their days looking under their beds and testing their hummus for polonium! Sure, Israeli leaders should say: yup we gave him polonium and we will do the same with any other mass murderers of Jews.
In fact we should make polonium something of a national pastime and celebration.
Let’s have soccer teams named the Poloniumists! Let’s have polonium tournaments for high school chemistry students to see who can manufacture it at the lowest cost and in the fastest time. Let Israel replace all those old jokes about Polish mothers with jokes about polonium mothers. Let the Knesset hold a special evening of madrigal singing in which Knesset Members chant, “Praise the Lord and Pass the Polonium.”
I am sure you can think up some other ideas that are even better than these!
First of all, Arafat needed killing in the worst way and whoever put that sorry piece of crap down should be given a medal and a cash prize. Secondly, it hardly matter anymore, Arafat’s dead, hooray, hooray! And finally, while I wish Israel had killed that filthy monster Arafat, it is more than likely that one of Arafat’s criminal partners did the deed. All I can say is ding dong the rabid dog Arafat is dead, and I can only hope that many many more of those Palestinian terrorist reptiles will suffer the same or worse fate!
a childish article undeserving of print. The arabs wouuld love that: to claim there hero died a “hero”. They cannot sell T shirts( a la che guevarra)for decades if their revolutionary macho hero was a “village People” member. There is a lot of money in the estate of a revolutionary “icon”. Also, they are embarrassed by the ridicule surrounding their hero who died ignominiously tied to his bed in compromising positions rather than on the battlefield(great cartoon there). Better to ridicule their frantic need to revise this poofter into a revolutionary. Every time they mention something pour on the ridicule and they will decide its better to shut up and let it blow over. The only radioactivity in arafat was his overheated radioactive posterior. If I had poisoned him with polonium I would rather claim he died of AID’s just for laughs. I heard he was partial to big blonde german bodyguards, male of course.
Let mine be the fourth cheer for the thought — unlikely as it is to be true — that some branch or another of the Israeli secret services pulled off a trusted Moscow Center operation of using polonium to poison old Rat-Face. In fact, had I been on duty when Zahal cornered that Jew-killer in the Church of the Nativity in Beit-Lehem, I am certain I would have found my way into that building and blown his head right off his body — orders or no orders to the contrary. Then, if necessary, I would have said:
“I thought he was going to shoot me. So it was self-defense and justified, just like it says here in this manual.”
The same could be said for the Zahal sniper who claimed he had Rat-Face in the telescopic sight of his rifle when Zahal had cornered what was at that time the remnants of the PLO army in part of Beirut. That guy should have taken the shot and eliminated his target.
Two of the lessons I learned as a kid in the streets of Chicago were real simple: First, if you are forced to fight, never pull your punches. Second, if you face more than one enemy, first take down the big-mouth.

Elvis did Arafat in and I can provide evidence at a later time.
I like Steve Plaut’s take on the latest “little” lie from the “Pestilinians;” and I want to suggest that Latma produce a witty ditty with “Praise the L-rd and Pass the Polonium.” Why not collaborate?
That was great! With that in mind- why not start a movement called Plutonium for Prisoners- Hi POP what would you like for breakfast this morning. They can starve to death or risk having Plutonium and, think about it, they’ll have choice- it’ll be very democratic.
