How to Free America of Dependency on Hostile, Foreign Oil Influence - Dr. Gal Luft and Edwin Black honored by A.J.C.

America has been railroaded by pro-Oil commercial interests into dependency on hostile countries for our energy needs. The American Jewish Congress featured Edwin Black (author of "Internal Combustion") who explains how it happened.

 

Mr. Black is joined by co-honoree, Dr. Gal Luft (Executive Director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security) in providing solutions. Dr. Gal Luft writes: "The shift from oil will bring about significant geopolitical changes and could reshape America's strategic landscape in a way more conducive to prosperity and global security. Shifting to next-generation fuels will allow more countries to generate growing portions of their energy needs domestically. The U.S. and its allies will no longer be forced to fight oil wars in the Middle East or be subjected to supply disruptions and price manipulations as during the 1970s-1980s. Above all, a shift from oil is the best weapon against America's enemies, who derive their power from oil and use it to fuel terror and spread hatred toward our nation.

 

Moving beyond oil could be our best economic stimulus. Every industrial and technological revolution in history brought with it an economic boom. The energy revolution will likely do the same. Building an infrastructure for mass production of next-generation cars and fuels would generate millions of jobs around the world, and revitalize the automobile industry as well as other related industries."

Feeding the Crocodile - Predictions Verified on 2nd Anniversary

Second-anniversary of this prescient interview in which we forewarned against the misguidedness of international pressure on Israel to concede Gaza's Jewish communities to the Palestinian Authority towards peace-making reciprocal concessions. It did backfire, as we predicted, by fanning the flames of the global Jihad movement and increasing Gazan Islamists' attacks on Israeli civilians.

The P.A. demonstrated its priority of destroying Israel over providing adequate civic services. Hamas murderously defeated Fatah and gained control over Gaza.

This clip features scenes from Israeli Member of Knesset, Rabbi Benny Elon's "The Right Road to Peace" movement's documentary, "A Stab in the Heart."

Caroline Glick discusses the treatment of Jews in non-Jewish areas of Israel (in the Jerusalem Post) in her column: Our World: Israel's anti-Zionist leaders.

From October 26-30, a mob of Druse villagers in Peki'in in the Galilee launched what has all the markings of a pogrom against the four Jewish families in the village. They burned their cars and surrounded and torched their homes.

The police took a full day to come to the Jews' defense. And when they did, the Druse mob kidnapped a policewoman and only set her free in exchange for their cohorts who had been arrested. The police then set about evacuating the Jews from their encircled homes and did nothing to prevent their homes from being destroyed by the mob. ... Read full article.

Antisemitism: Historic Tool Towards Tyranny

In the Washington Post, author Ruth Wisse ("Jews and Power") responds to the 1 in 6 Americans (exposed in a recent ADL survey) who feel that Jews have too much power in the U.S. (an opinion shared by over half of Europeans surveyed).

"We are all Jews now," former CIA director R. James Woolsey Jr. said after the September 2001 attacks. "We should all reflect upon the historic reality that when anti-Semitism raises its head, the rest of us, unless we are willing to live with a foot on our necks, will be the next targets."

Since the days of Pharaoh, Jews have functioned as a lodestar of religious and political freedom: The Jews' attackers oppose such liberties, and their defenders promote them. The attackers have included Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, extreme nationalist parties from France to Poland, Arab autocrats trying to hold onto power and Islamist challengers trying to seize it.

This rule of thumb has less to do with Jewish actions than with those who deal in anti-Jewish politics. A small people whose foes are prone to hugely inflate their image, Jews make a handy scapegoat for dictators.

Here is a 5-minute reminder of the products of your complacency towards antisemitism. The horror of the Nazi concentration camps were documented by the British Army in this film, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and restricted from U.S. public showing until recent broadcast on PBS' "Frontline" series.



In its August meetings, according to the Hudson Institute, the "revamped" U.N. Human Rights Council directed three-quarters of its indictments of individual states against Israel -- but just 2 percent against the thuggish regime running Burma.

I understand why some Jews and Israelis try to escape this assault through assimilation or denial, or even by joining their assailants. It's seductive to hope that by accommodating our enemies, we will be allowed to live in peace. But the strategy of accommodation that historically turned Jews into a no-fail target is the course least likely to stop ongoing acts of aggression against them. Indeed, anti-Jewish politics will end only when those who practice it accept the democratic values of religious pluralism and political choice -- or are forced to pay a high enough price for flouting them."
