What did black radio-host, Larry Elder say, to indicate why KABC might have dismissed him to podcasting?

Larry Elder, black conservative talk-radio host and author of "What's Race Got to Do With It: Why it's time to stop the stupidest argument in America," was fired without explanation by KABC-AM Los Angeles management last week.
"Why was Larry Elder fired? KABC won't tell him" -Southern California Public Radio 12/4/14
Libertarian talk show host Larry Elder - who called himself 'The Sage from South Central' – was a fixture at KABC for most of the last two decades, until Tuesday, when he was abruptly fired. KABC management called Elder and his agent, George Green, Tuesday night to tell them Elder was out, but Green says they didn’t offer any explanation.
“They chose not to tell him why, or to tell me why, so at this point I’m totally in the blind,” Green said Thursday.  KABC didn’t respond to KPCC's requests for comment.
Mr. Elder switched to producing his show independely, as a live podcast weekdays at LarryElderRadio.com  

At a Ronald Regan Library lunch for L.A.'s San Fernando Valley Republican Club September 2013, Larry Elder demonstrated some of ideas about whites and blacks blaming racism for black parenting-problems. DemoCast exclusively chronicled his 30-min speech on video:

Lawsuit alleges Ground-Zero Mosque's Imam Rauf Scammed Donors to Finance Lavish Lifestyle

Democracy Broadcasting has published original video news stories regarding Imam Feisel Rauf's Ground Zero Mosque project over it's history


9/11 first-responder's awe - and shock upon return to Ground Zero site




On eve of Obama's Ground Zero victory appearance, protestors in L.A. challenge Ground Zero Mosque Imam Feisal Rauf / Reza Aslan's 'moderate Islam' show as stealth-jihad to mollify West into socio-political deference to Islam 5/5/11


and from the UCLA where he appeared


Now, Pamela Geller reports from the Jewish Voice of NY that:

Lawsuit: Ground Zero Mosquesteer Imam Rauf Scammed Donors to Finance Lavish Lifestyle
The New York Daily News reported on Tuesday, February 5, that “Imam Feisel Abdul Rauf, founder and CEO of the American Society for Muslim Advancement, is being accused of swiping donation money intended for the ‘Ground Zero’ mosque to enjoy a lavish lifestyle.”
Regular readers of my website AtlasShrugs.com will not be surprised at this at all. We are proven right again and again, although the media never admits this. I wrote this in October 2010: 
In a piece in Forbes late last year (right before the Ground Zero mosque was announced, Imam and slumlord Rauf extols the riches of fine living. Couture! Sports cars! Cuisine! And the world’s finest prayer rugs (of course). This should solve the riddle of where our two million in taxpayer dollars were going, along with the million from the Dutch government, and his funding from Osama Bin Laden/Al Qaeda-linked Saudi corporation XENEL not to mention our funding his Middle East junkets. 
While the tenants in Ground Zero mosque imam’s slums in New Jersey suffer, Imam Rauf enjoys the finest offerings money can buy. Just last week, Rauf was summoned back to court (he didn’t show, of course) as he was cited with more than 200 housing and health code violations over the past two months. A couple of months ago Union City filed suit against Rauf.
Now it comes out that this sinister Islamic supremacist imam was financing this lavish lifestyle not just by ripping off his slum tenants and our taxpayer dollars, but by stealing from Ground Zero mega-mosque donors as well.

Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) defended the Iraq War, opposed Islamism and anti-Semitism

Christopher Hitchens, author and public intellectual, died Friday, 15 December of pneumonia resulting from esophageal cancer in Houston, Texas.

Mr. Hitchens lived one day beyond the ceremony to end the Iraq war. He supported the liberating the Iraqi and Kurdish peoples from Saddam Hussein.

From Wikipedia:
Christopher Hitchens argued the case for the Iraq War in a 2003 collection of essays entitled A Long Short War: The Postponed Liberation of Iraq, and he has held numerous public debates on the topic with George Galloway and Scott Ritter. Though he admits to the numerous failures of the war, and its high civilian casualties, he sticks to the position that deposing Saddam Hussein was a long-overdue responsibility of the United States, after decades of poor policy, and that holding free elections in Iraq has been a success not to be scoffed at. He argues that a continued fight in Iraq against insurgents, whether they be former Saddam loyalists or Islamic extremists, is a fight worth having, and that those insurgents, not American forces, should be the ones taking the brunt of the blame for a slow reconstruction and high civilian casualties.

An updated summary of his views on Iraq and the war on terror can be found in his memoirs Hitch 22. . . .

British politician George Galloway, founder of the socialist Respect Party, on his way to testify in front of a United States Senate sub-committee investigating the scandals in the U.N. Oil-for-Food programme, called Hitchens a "drink-sodden ex-Trotskyist popinjay", to which Hitchens quickly replied, "only some of which is true." Later, in a column for Slate promoting his debate with Galloway which was to take place on 14 September 2005, he elaborated on his prior response: "He says that I am an ex-Trotskyist (true), a 'popinjay' (true enough, since the word's original Webster's definition is a target for arrows and shots), and that I cannot hold a drink (here I must protest)."

Journalist Eli Lake eulogizes Mr. Hitchens in the Daily Beast:
Mr. Hitchens never stopped saying and writing that the (Iraq) war was just and that American arms were needed to end the regime of Saddam Hussein. But Christopher did not arrive at this position simply because his old colleagues at the Nation Magazine did not. He came to support the Iraq war after befriending many Iraqis, and particularly Kurds, who told him about the horrors of that dictatorship. For Christopher, supporting the war was an expression of his anti-totalitarianism. He would later say that the war pitted the anti-totalitarian left against the anti-imperialist left.

9/11 first-responder's awe - and shock upon return to Ground Zero site

9/11 first-responder to the World Trade Center, Jim LaPenna, returns to Ground Zero 10-years after he participated in rescue & recovery of WTC victims. He was one of the 5 people who rescued the two Port Authority Policemen who were trapped in the South Tower.

Mr. LaPenna has endured health impairments to his capacities as a result of exposure to the 9/11 ruins. He is welcomed by US Marine Corporal Sam Dillon, who came to dedicate his Purple Heart to 9/11 victims & first-responders. He takes us on a quick walk to the site of the proposed mosque at Ground Zero- and discovers that it has been approved and is functioning daily (and Mr. LaPenna explains his reaction to learning that).

Leftist-elites & mainstream-media endeavor to squelch Glenn Beck's exposing their insidious catering to Arab/Islamic anti-Israelism



Handmade video at Glenn Beck's "Restoring Courage" in Jerusalem by R33Mak

Media Comment: The anti-Beck crusade by YISRAEL MEDAD AND ELI POLLAK JPOST 08/24/2011 23:37 

Why have the local media given such a cool reception to the US television superstar? (Eli Pollak and Yisrael Medad are, respectively, chairman and vice chairman of Israel’s Media Watch www.imw.org.il.)
The following are some excerpts from his speech at the Tuesday night dinner at Jerusalem’s Bible Lands Museum: 
“We have spent 2,000 years at each other’s throats, mainly us at your throat. It is time to stand and say, ‘Enough.’ It is time to return home to His throne and beg His forgiveness and tell him unequivocally we will knock it off, we will stand arm in arm. The times require it; it is not a human rights movement, it is a human responsibility movement. If we do not recognize our responsibilities, we have no rights. This is the beginning, there is no end until we all live in peace and we all respect the Jewish people and their rights to live here in peace.”
Glenn Beck’s Revealing Visit by Caroline Glick in The Jerusalem Post 8/25/11
In general, Israeli media responded to Beck’s visit either as a non-event, or distorted who Beck is and what he is trying to do.

Thursday, Yediot ran a story about Beck’s Restoring Courage Rally beneath the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The headline read, “Glenn Beck’s Messianic Show.” In general, the Israeli media responded to Beck’s visit to Israel either as a non-event, or they distorted who Beck is and what he is trying to do. Thursday’s print edition of Ma’ariv sufficed with a photograph from Beck’s rally in Jerusalem the previous day. By casting Beck’s visit as insignificant, Ma’ariv disserved its readers. Beck is one of the most influential media personalities in the US today. . . .



Unlike the leftist public intellectuals such as New York Times columnist Tom Friedman who are celebrated and obsessively covered by the Israeli media, Beck exerts real influence on public opinion in the US. His calls for action are answered by hundreds of thousands of people. His statements are a guidepost for millions of Americans. Aside from radio host Rush Limbaugh, no media personality in the US has such influence. It is highly significant that thousands of Beck’s supporters followed his call and came with him to Israel for a week to express their support for Israel and the Jewish people. It is similarly significant that millions more of his supporters followed his actions on Internet. Those media that did not seek to downplay the importance of Beck’s visit opted instead to distort who he is and what he is doing. As the Yediot headline indicated, the media portrayed him as an unstable messianic, or they castigated him as an extremist and marginal force in the US. Haaretz and Globes both ran articles attacking Beck as an anti-Semite. These claims are outrageous and represent yet another gross disservice to Israeli news consumers who do not have an independent means of judging Beck, his message and his actions for themselves. . . .

The Arab Spring/Summer signals the autumn for Western illusions of Middle East stability

Triumphant: A group of rebels ride through the centre of Tripoli yesterday
as others fought running battles with pro-Gaddafi troops
 as they battled to save the city (Photo: Daily Mail)
"Why this is the moment Libya's Islamic extremists have prayed for" By John R. Bradley in the Daily Mail Online
The fall of the Libyan capital represents a clear victory for freedom over tyranny, they tell us, and a new country — defined by an enthusiastic embrace of democracy, pluralism and representative government — will emerge. However, we have been here twice before in the Middle East in recent months. First, when Tunisia’s strongman, Zine El-Abidene Ben Ali, fled Tunis, and then when Egypt’s dictator Hosni Mubarak vacated the presidential palace in Cairo.  
Rebel leader Abdul Jalil says his opposition forces had chosen to start their first attack on Tripoli on the 20th day of Ramadan, which marks the ancient Islamic Battle of Badr, when Muslims fought for the holy city of Mecca in AD 624. That hardly inspires confidence in a secular, liberal future for Libya.  
The fiercely independent Islamists, moreover, will not relent on their demands for an Islamist state. In the transitional council’s draft constitution it is clearly stated that Islamic law will be ‘the principal source of legislation’. Nato, then, can at best achieve replacing the Gaddafi regime with an Islamist-infiltrated tribal council. And that means Libya is as far as ever from being a Western-style democracy. Indeed, it is more likely to turn into the West’s worst nightmare. 
Rachel Lipkin, the Egyptian born Jewess and ex-Israeli government interpreter, gleans info from studying Arab media. Her husband, Avi Lipkin, interprets it and shares it in books, videos, and lectures in English. Last week, he presented his interpretation of the differences between Western culture and Arab/Islamic culture in a presentation to LA's ACT! for America, San Fernando Valley Chapter.



In "The End of Normal," Daniel Greenfield of Sultan Knish, illuminates the social, cultural, and political distinctions which Westerners mis-understand in forging treaties with Muslim cultures which don't abide by Western expectations.
Western diplomats have been convinced that solving the Rubik's Cube of the Muslim-Israeli conflict is the key to regional stability. But the Arab Spring disproves it on both points. 
The Arab Spring is a reminder that it is only a bit player in the larger dramas of the Muslim world. A scapegoat for Muslim states who come to terms with it behind the scenes, while using their state controlled media to spread paranoid and bigoted conspiracy theories about it. And a reminder that no treaty can create regional stability when it can hardly outlast the men who sign their names to it. 
Even if a Palestinian state is created, what of the Kurds, who have also acted as the Palestinians of Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq. And what of the countless stateless ethnic and religious minorities in the region. What of the Iranian refugees in Camp Ashraf who duplicate on a smaller scale the dilemma of Palestinian refugee camps. Even if all these people received their own micro-states, the violence would still not end. And if it somehow did, that would only mean less proxy warfare through terrorist groups and more direct confrontations between regional armies. Is that something anyone really wants? 
The Middle East has never been normal, or rather it is as close to normal for a baseline that goes back thousands of years. The progressive model applied to the West has no relevance to its Muslim conquerors. And there is no normalization to be had anywhere here. 
If the Arab Spring has accomplished anything, it is to destroy the illusion that a treaty signing and a handshake will stabilize the region and allow Israeli mothers to stop worrying about their sons. These childish ideas have created an entire peace industry built on expectations that have not been realized anywhere in the region. 
It is a moral and mental laziness that the peace depends upon. A willingness by the public to believe sentimental slogans about the power of love and of politicians to think that a shortcut to market stability can be reached with territorial concessions and foreign aid. This laziness carries as high a price as war, but with far less to show for it. 
The Pax Americana is losing its grip on the Middle East, and its American and European leaders are pressuring the one country still intimidated by them. The one regional democracy that they can count on as an ally.

Neutralizing oil as an Islamist imperialist weapon over our culture- Jim Woolsey at PJTN symposium


Former C.I.A. Director James Woolsey addresses an audience at a screening of the Christian Zionist-advocacy group, Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, with the direct relationship between gas-consumption strenthening O.P.E.C.'s monopoly over western transportation, and Islamist influence through western politics and society, via the radicalization of western Muslims through Wahabist Saudi control in western mosques and madrasas.

Presented by Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, executive director, Laurie Cardoza Moore, in coordination with the 2011 National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville.

What Palestinian behavior has revealed to Israelis - and what the West might learn from it. Jerusalem Post diplomatic columnist in exclusive 2010 DemoCast video interview

Palestinian responses to Israeli acts of peace and negotiation (e.g. withdrawal from Gaza, direct peace negotiations) expose true Islamist crusade to conquer lands to be placed under Islam - which Obama strives to whitewash from Western understanding.

Herb Keinon, columnist and formerly diplomatic correspondent for the Jerusalem Post, has been at the eye of the Arab-Israeli hurricane for the past 20-years.

In this exclusive interview with DemoCast, Mr. Keinon sheds light on the revelations that peace-seeking Israelis have gleaned from Palestinian immoderation in response to Israeli concessions.




Mr. Keinon has spent years reporting with Israeli prime ministers and foreign ministers. As such, Mr. Keinon has up-close knowledge and an intimate perspective of the current confrontation and the various diplomatic attempts at solving it.

Mr. Keinon feels that the one-time Oslo Accord-embracing Israelis, who sacrificed Jewish Gaza for evidence of Palestinian intentions towards peace, have been "mugged by the reality" of emboldened Muslim aggression towards conquering all of Israel- that ceding a Palestinian state will not necessarily result in safety for Israelis.

Most Israelis know personally a victim of terror from years of terrorist attacks (from Muslims inside and outside of Israel). Being confronted by emboldened Palestinian irredentist (i.e. movement to reconquer Israel for Islamic rule) incitement has shaped the collective consciousnesses of the Israeli people. Keinon, who lives in Ma'ale Adumim (the 3rd largest city on the West Bank) believes Israelis now recognize all too well the very real dangers posed by Obama shepherding Israel to cede territory to the Palestinian front for global Islamists, such as Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Many Israelis have evolved to recognize that they are just the preliminary targets of the Jihadist politico-cultural crusade to dominate all of the West under Islam. Will the rest of the West be willing to learn from their example and adapt to confront and defeat the Islamist 'evolutionary' crusade?

16-year-old Daniel breaching "Lions' Den" haters- reveals insights into the nature of the global conflict

Garnering 3/4 of a million views in its first 2-weeks, the "Daniel in the Lions' Den" viral video phenomenon has been shared by viewers all around the world, several times over.

What motivates this brave 16-year old boy to singlehandedly stand against a mob of anti-Zionist protestors? What does he think about the Flotilla incident as a metaphor for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that others would be interested in knowing?



Democracy Broadcasting News takes an in-depth look into what makes this young hero tick. In an exclusive video interview, Daniel Pereg reveals what was going through his mind as the confrontation unfolded, his spiritual make-up, and his perception of the motivations and issues of what he sees as the mis-guided antagonists to Israel and America.

Excerpt from Rob Nehring's speech:
"We will go into the African-American community and challenge the Democrats. Why shouldn't African-American children have options and alternatives to the failed schools, where no teaching . . .

We will go into the Jewish community in L.A. and make clear the weakness which this administration projects invites hostility upon America and our allies! And this party understands that America stands with Israel and our allies - forever!"

The newly elected, California Republican victors are introduced to the audience as a ticket for the first time (NBA-style), including Meg Whitman for Governor, Carly Fiorina for Senator, Steve Cooley for Attorney General, and Damon Dunn for Secretary of State.

Memorial Day for Israel's fallen - rings close to home for some Jewish-Americans

The Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, opened memorial events ahead of Monday's Yom ha Zikaron, Israel's memorial day for fallen soldiers and victoms of terrorism,by placing an Israeli flag on the grave of the most recent fallen soldier, the late Maj. Eliraz Peretz. Maj. Peretz was a deputy battalion commander in the Golani Brigade who was killed three weeks ago in an exchange of fire in the Kissufim area, and is now buried in the military cemetery at Mount Herzl.


Rabbi Arthur Gross-Schaefer of Santa Barbara, CA remembers his son, American-born Avi Gross-Shaefer, who served in the Israel Defense Force for 3-years specializing in counter-terrorism, and worked with special units in both the Israeli and American military. Avi was killed 2-months ago at Brown Univ in Providence, R.I., hit by a car, while studying and creating a curriculum in Israel-Palestinian conflict resolution.

Mayor Ed Koch: "American Jews are perilously silent again"

"Deja vu" by Judith Apter Klinghoffer in History News Network

Ed Koch was wrong to run around Florida personally vouching that Barack Obama would be safe for Israel. He should have known better. At least, he is man enough to admit as much. He is also right to remind Americans, most especially Jews, that once again they are cowering in shameful silence.
"I weep today because my president, Barack Obama, in a few weeks has changed the relationship between the U.S. and Israel from that of closest of allies to one in which there is an absence of trust on both sides.

... Our closest ally - the one with the special relationship with the U.S., has been demeaned and slandered, held responsible by the administration for our problems in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East. The plan I suspect is to so weaken the resolve of the Jewish state and its leaders that it will be much easier to impose on Israel an American plan to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, leaving Israel's needs for security and defensible borders in the lurch.

I believe President Obama's policy is to create a whole new relationship with the Arab states of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, and Iraq as a counter to Iran - the Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Muslim world which we are now prepared to see in possession of a nuclear weapon. If throwing Israel under the bus is needed to accomplish this alliance, so be it.

I am shocked by the lack of outrage on the part of Israel's most ardent supporters. The members of AIPAC, the chief pro-Israel lobbying organization in Washington, gave Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a standing ovation after she had carried out the instructions of President Obama and, in a 43-minute telephone call, angrily hectored Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.


Members of Congress in both the House and Senate have made pitifully weak statements against Obama's mistreatment of Israel, if they made any at all. The Democratic members, in particular, are weak. They are simply afraid to criticize President Obama. What bothers me most of all is the shameful silence and lack of action by community leaders - Jew and Christian. Where are they?

If this were a civil rights matter, the Jews would be in the mall in Washington protesting with and on behalf of our fellow American citizens. I asked one prominent Jewish leader why no one is preparing a march on Washington similar to the one in 1963 at which I was present and Martin Luther King's memorable speech was given? His reply was "Fifty people might come."

Remember the 1930s? Few stood up. They were silent. Remember the most insightful statement of one of our greatest teachers, Rabbi Hillel: "If I am not for myself, who is for me? And if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?"

We have indeed stood up for everyone else. When will we stand up for our brothers and sisters living in the Jewish state of Israel?

If Obama is seeking to build a siege ramp around Israel, the Jews of modern Israel will not commit suicide. They are willing to negotiate a settlement with the Palestinians, but they will not allow themselves to be bullied into following self-destructive policies.

To those who call me an alarmist, I reply that I'll be happy to apologize if I am proven wrong. But those who stand silently by and watch the Obama administration abandon Israel, to whom will they apologize?

Global thinker, George Gilder: 'Every modern individual has a personal stake in protecting Israel's safety'

'It is in the vital self-interest of all Americans to protect Israel - an extension of Silicon Valley and human progress,' attests economist and futurist George Gilder. The microchips of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, so many of which are designed at Intel Corp's design center in Israel is just one of many examples of how vital keeping Israel stable is to the condition of our world.



Mr. Gilder, author of "The Israel Test," elucidates how being an ally to Israel benefits the human condition - via medical research & cures, communications technology, security intelligence, and economic stability. Filmed at Los Angeles' Sinai Temple; interviewed by Rabbi David Wolpe; question and answer period led by AIPAC Southern Pacific Region's Elliot Brandt, concluded by American Freedom Alliance's Avi Davis.  Mr. Gilder emphasizes civilization's interest in safeguarding Israel from delegitimization from political and economic rivals, and the Obama Administration's mid-east policies.

Amb. Michael Oren to address AIPAC Policy Conference; offers 2nd-chance dialogue with anti-Zionist UCI Muslim students



Ambassador Michael Oren to Speak at the 2010 AIPAC Policy Conference, March 21-23


Amb. Oren will address more than 6,000 conference delegates.

The Honorable Michael Oren, Israel's Ambassador to the United States, has confirmed that he will address a plenary session at AIPAC Policy Conference 2010, which will be held March 21-23 in Washington, D.C. Oren joins a list of others who have confirmed their attendance, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Quartet Representatitve Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN), Col. Richard Kemp and Prof. Alan Dershowitz. View a full Policy Conference program and register for the pro-Israel community's pre-eminent annual event. Below, view DemoCast's original video of Amb. Oren withstanding antagonists from Univ of Calif Irvine's Muslim Students Union who marched out in the midst of his address.



No charges were filed against the students.

In an open letter published in the UCI student newspaper New University Mon 8 March, Amb. Oren has offered to fly to meet the students who interrupted him as long as the tone stayed civil. Here is an excerpt:
I was saddened by the loss of this opportunity to exchange ideas with those who disagreed with me and, at the very least, to introduce them to different perspectives.

Since then, videos of the incident at Irvine have proliferated on the Internet and attracted significant media attention. I have received heartfelt apologies from UC President Mark Yudof and Chancellor Drake. The response has been overwhelmingly favorable in defense of my right to free expression on campus and the students’ right to hear those remarks.

Still, I am not satisfied. I came to UCI for the opportunity to exchange ideas — a reasonable intention that was hijacked by a minority of students. The disruptive measures exhibited by these students only underscore the importance for dialogue, especially on the frontline of higher learning. I would willingly return to your campus and meet with those individuals whose views may not agree with mine as long as we respect the decorum of dialogue and free speech.

Prof. Martin Sherman: Save Palestinians from perpetual exploitation by Arab enemies of Israel; a humanitarian solution




'Reframe the Palestinian issue in humanitarian, rather than political terms," reasons Tel Aviv University Prof. Martin Sherman. He shows Palestinian leaders admitting their fabricated 'identity' is only a tactic in an Islamist crusade to reconquer Israel & re-dominate the world. 

In this video presentation, Prof. Sherman lays out the case that Arabs perpetuate the 62-year old "Palestinian-refugee" cause (and reject repeated Israeli offers for statehood) mainly to increase Islamist political capital around the world. 

Arab and Palestinian corrupt politicians, he demonstrates, created, exploit, and perpetuate refugee sufferage (which could have been resolved any day during the past 6 decades ago) - and Prof. Sherman proposes a humanitarian and pragmatic solution for the situation immediately. 

This approach takes into consideration the best interests of the Arab-rejected Palestinian refugees, the Arab-rejected Gaza Arabs, the intolerant West Bank Arabs, and the peace-seeking Israelis.

DemoCast exclusive video: Holocaust-expert Goldhagen deconstructs genocide for Tolerance audience; Are Islamists implementing Nazi techniques in quest against Israel & Zionists?

Political-scientist Daniel Goldhagen discusses how humans people are moved to commit genocide against others. He discusses his current book, "Worse than War," and screens a preview from the documentary he produced with Mike DeWitt - which aired on PBS in April, 2010 during National Holocaust Remembrance Week. You can watch "Worse than War" online here.

In this exclusive interview the genocide-studies expert, Prof. Goldhagen (author of "Worse than War") is asked whether Arab, Iranian, & Muslim societies' demonizing Israel is a warning sign of for a potential genocide against Zionists?

Prof. Goldhagen, the author of the renowned "Hitler's Willing Executioners" appeared on the occasion of the 71st anniversary of the notorious Kristallnacht (Night of Breaking Glass - considered the inauguration of Germany's government-sanctioned violence against Jews and Jewish symbols). The ceremony was organized and held at the Simon Wiesenthal Center's  Museum of Tolerance.

Documentary, "Conflict: the Power of Propaganda," explores Arab media campaign to de-legitimize Israel


In the new film "Conflict: The Power of Propaganda," director Chris Atkins goes behind the headlines and past the media bias against Israel to present a fair and realistic picture of what is happening in the Islamic conflict to conquer Israel.

The fast-paced documentary exposes rampant Palestinian propaganda and challenges viewers to recognize the calculated deception - and its ties to both extremism and terrorism on a global scale. Executive producer Joe Amaral and his filmmakers go inside the world of the Palestinian media, documenting how Palestinian propaganda seeks to rob the Jewish people of their rich history in the Land of Israel. Alarming video evidence shows how school children are taught and encouraged to aspire to kill Jews and to become suicide bombers.
