To my piece than ran in yesterday’s Jewishworldreview.com concerning Senator Barack Obama’s high tolerance for negativity towards the United States, I would like to add one thought. Senator Obama has known Pastor Jeremiah A. Wright for many years. They have a close personal relationship, and are far from enemies.

In a stunning turnabout, Senator Hillary Clinton is now claiming there WAS sniper fire when she raced from her plane to safety on her trip there in 1996. “I admitted that I am ‘human’ but I was misunderstood. I was just trying to be humble! Now that I have seen the footage from that trip it is obviously a phony video made to look like I was completely safe when in fact I was NOT! This is the lowest level that Senator Obama and his people have stooped to in this campaign and, as a result, I am no longer considering him for my Vice-President! He is now Thomas Eagleton to me.”

I received two letters in response to my recent article about how Yad Vashem allowed itself — and the Albanian Righteous of WWII — to be used to further a supremacist agenda in Kosovo, in what is a continuing betrayal of the Serbs, who as a people resisted the Nazis like no other Europeans; who died alongside the Jews in concentration camps; and who had the best relations with Jews of all Eastern Europeans. I’m reproducing the letters here. The first is from a prominent scholar and professor of Middle East Studies at Hebrew University named Mordechai Nisan:

I have read several articles praising Obama’s ongoing relationship with Jeremiah Wright and his refusal to sever it simply for political purposes. We are reminded that Reverend Wright was once a marine, that he has done many good things for the black community and that he has been a father figure to Obama, one who provided him with guidance and entry into the life of religious worship. To all these things, I can only answer “bushwa.”

The so-lurid-it’s-almost-funny saga of Overstock.com, and its unhinged CEO Patrick Byrne, took another twist over the weekend. Seems that Byrne sent out a spam email to customers claiming that Wikipedia was a vehicle for “mass mind control.”

I wonder if the people sitting in churches this week understand how very much Jesus of Nazareth’s last week of life was driven by clashes pertaining to wealth and poverty, freedom and tyranny. Probably not. Theologians generally don’t study history. Historians usually don’t study theology, and neither study economics.

To appreciate fully the venality of Obama’s treatment of his grandmother, one needs to read the other stories he tells about her. Yes, Obama does tell in his book the story of his grandmother’s fear of a man who accosted her on the bus (p.88):

The name Rowan Williams is now well known. It belongs to the typical British Muslim-Wannabe “bishop” of Canterbury, whose most recent headline-grabbing statement was that England should accept a parallel Sharia legal system. This is the same “bishop” who tried to debunk the Christmas story days before Christmas, and who is, in typical British Muslim-wannabe fashion, an anti-Zionist. His name last caught my eye on January 27th, International Holocaust Memorial Day. Here is an item from BBC.com:

In a recent blog post, both the interview with Kosovo  leader Hashim Thaci and Jim Jatras’s letter touch on the issue of ‘nationalist terrorists’ versus ‘Islamist terrorists’. Below is a December report by the Northeast Intelligence Network, which goes to the point, and applies to the Albanian diaspora in our midst. Exceptionally specific parallels to the Kosovo situation are in bold:

Gaff? The origins of the two holidays are different. But he got the reality right. In any case, it is one holiday in which one is supposed to get so drunk that he/she no longer knows the difference between “blessed be Mordechai” (the hero) and “cursed be Haman” (the villain). By conflating Purim with Halloween, Liberman instructed McCain was merely keeping with tradition.

The Common Sense Media website is allegedly a source that identifies family-friendly entertainment and, ostensibly, offers advice on talking to kids about difficult subjects. So when the question comes up today–”My 13-year-old saw a video clip of Barack Obama’s one-time pastor [sic-ed.] Reverend [sic, again-ed.] Wright…”–the answer says just about every vague platitude you could offer up. What it does not say is that Wright said hateful, paranoid, hurtful and, yes, racist things. Common Sense Media has a bad habit of 1) excusing misbehavior when it comes from the left and 2) buying into leftist “religions” such as global warming. You should know, and tell your friends: Common Sense Media is no consistent source of common sense.

Believe me, I am the last person to take burning children in ovens lightly. I am named after my aunt who was burned in an Auschwitz crematoria along with her baby during The Last Days of the Nazi death machine. Actually, her mother in law volunteered to go burn with the baby. “I am older,” she said. “who knows? maybe you’ll survive to have other children.” You see, burning the baby was the prime Nazi objective. But my aunt would not let her child burn without her. My mother’s other sister survived the camp but refused to give birth to children. My parents were lucky. They were only refugees.

On Tuesday, members of Bangladesh’s Rapid Action Battalion, a paramilitary wing of the government, stormed the offices of Bangladeshi journalist Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, arrested and interrogated him. In 2003, Mr. Choudhury, editor of the newspaper The Weekly Blitz, was arrested and tortured for seventeen months. His “crimes” included trying to visit Israel, investigating the indoctrination of Bangladeshi children into radical Islam, and advocating interfaith dialogue.
