“Palestinians” to submit claim at UN that Western Wall is Muslim holy site
By Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

 

They call it the Buraq Plaza, for it is from the Temple Mount that Muhammad, mounted on a winged horse with a human head named Buraq, is — according to Muslim legend — supposed to have ascended to Paradise, met the prophets, and had an audience with Allah. It is upon this legend, which is […]

Obama’s Peace Partner Abbas Accuses Israel of ‘Executing’ Child Terrorist Who Is Still Alive

Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs

Deception and lies are the foundation of the “Palestinian” jihad — from the invention of the “Palestinian” nationality to the Israeli atrocities that their propaganda machine manufactures. Abbas is chief among the deceivers — and Obama urges Israel to see him as a peace partner.

“Abbas Accuses Israel of ‘Executing’ Child Terrorist,” by Nitsan Kedar, Arutz Sheva, October 14, 2015 (thanks to TheReligionofPeace.com):

Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has accused Israel of “executing” a 13-year-old Palestinian teenager – one of two teenage Arab terrorists who carried out a brutal stabbing spree in Jerusalem on Monday.

Ahmed Mansara carried out the attack in...

Sanders and Clinton vs. Capitalism

Steve Chapman / Townhall Columnist

 

On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, along with other Democratic presidential candidates, were in Las Vegas, a city that does not believe in stifling commercialism, at the Wynn hotel, where suites go for as much as $900 per night. They came to deplore the evils of capitalism.

The senator from Vermont identifies himself as a "democratic socialist," and he's no pretender. In 1985, as mayor of Burlington, he traveled to Nicaragua to celebrate the sixth anniversary of what he called the "heroic revolution" of the Marxist Sandinistas.

CNN debate moderator Anderson Cooper asked, "You don't consider yourself a capitalist, though?" Sanders responded with grim vehemence: "Do I consider myself part of the casino capitalist process by which so few have so much and so many have so little, by which Wall Street's greed and recklessness wrecked this economy? No, I don't. I believe in a society where all people do well, not just a handful of billionaires."

Clinton gingerly distinguished her views from his. In thinking about capitalism, she said, "I think about all the small businesses that were started because we have the opportunity and the freedom in our country for people to do that and to make a good living for themselves and their families." But she said it is necessary to "save capitalism from itself."

From all this, you wouldn't know that capitalism has been the most productive economic model in history. The United States attained one of the highest living standards on earth through its reliance on private business, property rights and relatively unfettered markets.

Confirmed: Iran Did Test Fire A Medium-Range Ballistic Missile

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

 

Guy wrote earlier this week about Iran possibly test firing a ballistic missile, which is in clear violation of international law, and the flawed nuclear agreement that was secured between Iran, the United States, and her allies. The missile was said to have a range of 800 miles. Yet, as former U.S. Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton said at a Young America’s Foundation conference in Ohio recently, Iran has had the ability to deliver a nuclear payload to Israel for years.

The program’s expansion is aimed to develop a capability to hit the United States. He also called for Secretary of State John Kerry to resign. Guy added that Kerry pretty much gave Iran the green light to violate certain parts of the deal without violating the whole arrangement, which would save the Obama administration from making a military judgment on the matter.

Alas, U.S. officials can now confirm that Iran tested a ballistic missile, and that was a bad, bad thing they did (via Reuters):

The United States has confirmed that Iran tested a medium-range missile capable of delivering a nuclear weapon, in "clear violation" of a United Nations Security Council ban on ballistic missile tests, a senior U.S. official said on Friday. 

"The United States is deeply concerned about Iran's recent ballistic missile launch," the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, said in a statement.

"After reviewing the available information, we can confirm that Iran launched on Oct. 10 a medium-range ballistic missile inherently capable of delivering a nuclear weapon," she said. "This was a clear violation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1929."

The United States is preparing a report on the incident for the Security Council's Iran Sanctions Committee and will raise the matter directly with Security Council members "in the coming days," Power said.

Ballistic missile tests by Iran are banned under Security Council resolution 1929, which was adopted in 2010 and remains valid until a nuclear deal between Tehran and six world powers goes into effect. Under that deal, reached on July 14, most sanctions on Iran will be lifted in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program.

Well, here’s to smart power. Cheers!
